Chapter 1118

: Sacred Academy’s Quota
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
The illusory figure on the sacrificial altar spoke. An instant later, immortal kings hurried forth, stepping up the towering platform. As they stepped foot on the platform, a marvelous energy enveloped their bodies, causing their bodies to turn somewhat transparent as their bones and meridians shimmered into view with a brilliant light.

Immortal kings can said to have reached a certain realm in cultivation, and they basically have already found their paths. Their potential is actually more easily determined. However for immortal emperors, if we likened the immortal foundation to the embryonic form, immortal emperors have already solidified and stabilized their foundation. Hence, they are not eligible to enter the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy.
Bai Wuya spoke in a low voice. The eyes of everyone were on the towering platform. A moment later, streams of light shot forth from the scepter, landing on the hundred immortal kings who went up the platform.
This scepter had the ability to link the bones, blood vessels and meridians of the immortal kings together. A hundred glows illuminated the area but soon after, the light shining from several immortal kings begin to dim down into nothingness.

For those who no longer emit any luster, you can get down now.
That illusory figure spoke. Many people had expressions of disappointment. These people were all peak-level immortal kings from the major powers, yet a majority of them no longer emitted the scepter light. They could only accept their fate and got down from the towering platform, while feeling awkward and embarrassed.

For the rest that remains, you are all eligible to enter the sacred academy. The light from the scepter transformed into runes that remained on their bodies. Those immortal kings who passed the criteria continued on their way into the academy before vanishing from sight.

Next batch.
The scepter holding figure continued. Another hundred immortal kings soared up the towering platform. There were no lack of famous immortal kings among this batch, causing the spectators below to exclaim in excitement.
The people of Nine Tripod City were more familiar with some supreme immortal kings and would shout their names when they recognized one. However, Qin Wentian wasn’t familiar, even if the name of an immortal king before him shook the entire immortal realms, he wouldn’t know either. Hence, he wasn’t that interested or excited but he did discover that even for elite immortal kings, the number of them who could gain entry into the sacred academy was at an extremely low percentage.
Even at the immortal king level, there were simply too many experts who came here. Hence, although the percentage of gaining entry was low, there was still quite a number who succeeded.
Finally, Bai Wuya spoke,
I will go and attempt it with the other immortal kings. After I gain entry, you guys have to take care of yourselves.

Qin Wentian’s eyes flickered with a smile. This senior of his, Bai Wuya, was truly confident. He spoke like he would gain entry into the sacred academy for sure. The people around him all also laughed, but they were all extremely confident and trusted in Bai Wuya.
Many immortal kings from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect flew up together with him. Qin Wentian discovered that the beautiful princess from the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty, Beiming Youhuang, also flew up onto the platform.
The light from the scepter landed on all of them. But for Bai Wuya and Beiming Youhuang, the light radiating from them seemed even brighter in comparison to the others. Upon seeing this sight, everyone from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect started smiling. As expected of the famous White-Robed Immortal King.
Other than Bai Wuya, there were quite a few other immortal kings from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect who managed to gain entry into the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy. Yet Qin Wentian knew that those who passed the criteria were all his senior brothers from the Heavenly Talisman Realm. But even so, not everyone from the Heavenly Talisman Realm passed the entrance test.
The criteria to enter the Heavenly Talisman Realm was exceedingly strict but it didn’t mean that everyone in there were peak-tier demon-level geniuses. Back when Qin Wentian first joined, his horizons were not as wide. Now with his broadened horizons, he was much stronger compared to when he first entered the Heavenly Talisman Realm and hence, he also understood that it didn’t mean everyone from the Heavenly Talisman Realm were truly supreme geniuses at the peak but rather, it would be more accurate to call them people with extraordinary talent.
Time slowly flowed by, there were quite a few people who Qin Wentian was familiar with who appeared. For example, the senior apprentice sister which inducted Zi Qingxuan has also come. Evergreen Longhao, as well as the son of the Violet Emperor, Zi Daolong, were all here as well.
Although the criteria for immortal kings were set at reaching that level using only 10,000 years of cultivation time, the number of immortal kings that appeared seemed never ending. One could only say that the attraction the sacred academy held for all of them was just too large. Also, these were merely immortal kings. There were even many times more immortal-foundation experts who were still waiting for their turn.
Finally, no more immortal kings went up the towering platform.
The illusory figure with the scepter didn’t seem fatigued at all. His gaze turned to the endless crowd as he spoke,
Next will be the turn for immortal-foundation experts. For those above 10,000 years of age and has no violet-gold astral souls, or for those who didn’t establish a king-grade immortal-foundation, all of you guys don’t need to come up.

As the sound of his voice faded, countless experts whose talent weren’t very outstanding all had ashened expressions on their faces. They wanted to try their luck but the first sentence from this illusory figure already cut off all their hope.
For immortal-foundation experts, those above 10,000 years of age, those who didn’t have a violet-gold astral soul, and those who didn’t establish a king-grade immortal-foundation at the very least, were rejected right off the bat.
These three conditions were merely the initial ones. This doesn’t mean that it is the criteria to gain entrance to the sacred academy. Following that, there is still a further examination. If one didn’t pass it, they would still be rejected.

In addition, there is a limit for the quota of admittance. No matter how many people are here, the sacred academy only have a quota of 20,000, including demonic beasts.
That figure spoke once more, causing many to become incomparably nervous. The number of people that gathered here today was simply countless, yet only a mere 20,000 would be able to gain entry.
Although 20,000 sounded like a lot, it was actually frighteningly little.
An example are the peak powers of the various regions, there are already tens of peak powers around the immortal realms, and today, there are at the very least, several thousands from each peak power that came here and they are considered the most outstanding in their sects or clans. Just from this, the number of people already exceeded a hundred thousand, and this was still not counting the elites from the other immortal-emperor level powers.

Seeing that there’s truly too many people, I plan to select those most outstanding talents out first. The next criteria is that the immortal-foundation individuals has to have at least two violet-gold astral souls. For demonic beasts, you guys have to be able to connect with constellations at the 7th heavenly-layer and also possess a pure bloodline. Other than that, for those at the first five levels of immortal foundation, it’s fine if the immortal foundation you established is at the fourth-tier, king-grade. But for those who are at the sixth-level of immortal-foundation or higher, your immortal foundation must be at the fifth-tier, emperor-grade. For those who fulfil these conditions, you can come and stand before me.

That illusory figure brandished the scepter as he walked to the edge of the platform. He stared at the countless people below as he spoke, issuing a new condition.
And as the sound of his voice faded, there were people rushing forwards, towards a location not far away from the towering platform.
The disciples from those peak powers of the immortal realms all took the initiative to step out. Many talented young men all had intense self-confidence in themselves. All of them strode out with an air of arrogance, walking with their heads held high as they stepped forward.
At the same time, many powerful pure-blooded greater demons also moved forward, occupying a certain area on the platform.
For the Myriad Devil Islands, there was also a group of people radiating fearsome devil qi that stepped out. Their eyes were filled with provocation as they stared at the surrounding experts.

After we enter the sacred enemy, let’s capture some of these people from the devil islands to become our slaves.
A pure-blooded greater demon from the Sky Roc Race coldly spoke as he stared at the experts from the Myriad Devil Islands. His words were incomparably brazen, he simply didn’t put them in his eyes.

These kind of pure-blood demonic beasts are the most suitable to use as mounts. This is especially true for the Sky Roce Race, even if we cannot tame them, we can always roast them and eat them for their nourishing flesh.
The eyes of a devil-practitioner from the Myriad Devil Islands shone with a bloody light as his devilish might gushed forth in rage.

Everyone shut the hell up. If you want to fight, do so after you gain entry into the sacred academy.
A cold voice rang out. It originated from a young man from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire. The emperor force from him was unexcelled, and seemed to be a naturally-born leader. Although he was young, he already exuded an extreme majesticness.

Who the hell do you think you are? You dare to speak with me in this manner?
How could the expert from the Sky Roc Race let things slide? The illusory figure made no attempts to stop the fight and the spectators around naturally watched on with interest.
These people were all from peak powers of the immortal realms, they naturally had the confidence that they wouldn’t lose out to anyone else. How could these people be willing to admit that they were inferior to others? It would truly be fascinating to spectate this battle among tigers and dragons if they all managed to enter the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy.
At this moment, many from the Southern Phoenix Clan stepped out. Qing`er glanced at the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect’s direction before she also moved forward.

Let us go on up as well.
Qin Wentian stated. After that, a group of immortal-foundation experts also moved out from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect.
Upon seeing this scene, the eyes of many flashed with bewilderment. How strange, which power was this group of people from? There were actually so many young characters that walked out confidently. Didn’t they hear the latest criteria?
The illusory figure spoke very clearly. Even for peak powers like the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire, Chasing Sun Immortal Empire and the Sky Roc Race, only roughly about ten to twenty of experts from each walked out. Yet this power actually had roughly fifty to sixty people. What a shocking number.
The people from the Skymist Immortal Empire furrowed their brows when they saw this. There was already a group of elites from their Skymist Immortal Empire that walked out. Yet what qualifications did the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect have to be so arrogant? They actually sent out so many people, this was simply courting humiliation for themselves.
There were naturally many people from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. Qin Wentian had thirty-six members from the Battle Saint Tribe with him. That, in addition to Jun Mengchen, Purgatory and Little Rascal, they already have forty pax. In addition, there were also some disciples from the Heavenly Talisman Realm in the mix. Hence, it isn’t weird that they have a total of fifty to sixty people, far surpassing the number of experts from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire, Chasing Sun Immortal Empire, or ancient clans with deep foundations like the Ancient Ying Clan and Southern Phoenix Clan individually.

Where did this sect originate from? They are actually so ignorant of the immensity of the heavens and earth?
Somebody mocked.
The experts from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire stared at them as frowns appeared on their faces. When they saw Qin Wentian and his group walking over, an expert among them spoke
Didn’t you guys hear the conditions earlier? Don’t think that you are in your sect’s territory and can act as you please.


We naturally understand.
Jun Mengchen rebutted.

How brazen.
The lips of an expert from the Myriad Devil Islands curled up into a cold smile.
Seems like cultivators of the immortal realms are growing more and more insensible, grossly overestimating themselves.


Where do you guys come from?
A beautiful fairy-like maiden from the Jadestage Immortal Palace smiled as she asked.

Eastern Regions of the immortal realms, the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect.
Qin Wentian replied.

Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect? Never heard of it before.
An expert from a peak power from the Central Regions spoke.

It’s a new power that recently rose up. They are basically unworthy of a mention.
Someone added.
Qin Wentian glanced at the person who spoke as he replied,
You guys will know the name of our Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect soon enough.
