Chapter 562 - 562 Acting Cool for Less Than a Second
It was because the true rulers in the mortal world were the cultivation sects!
Although there were many nobles in the mortal world, if people put it bluntly, those nobles were servants raised by those cultivation sects outside.
They were all helping the sect disciples manage the mortals!
Since this world valued people’s cultivation base, mortals naturally belonged to the low-grade category.
As a result, with the development of cultivation, countless cultivation academies of all sizes were in the human world of “beyond the heavens.”
The mortals here were naturally proud to be able to enter the cultivation academies.
However, mortals needed to pay a lot to enter the cultivation academies. If an ordinary family went bankrupt, they could still make up for the first year’s studies.
However, what kind of results could one achieve after cultivating for only a year?
After all, it was just some ordinary cultivators teaching some basic knowledge, not some mighty figure preaching!
Therefore, if one’s family background was average, one could only rely on their talent to enter a cultivation academy. If one’s talent were amazing enough to be given a special enrollment spot by the cultivation academy, not only would they be exempted from a large amount of “tuition fees,” but they would also be rewarded with some cultivation resources.
This place was called West Extension Mountain. Although it was the mountain’s name, it included the nearby forests and lakes. Therefore, it was a vast place and had three cultivation academies here.
There were the Tang Family’s Cultivation Academy, the Sincerity Academy, and the Great Scholar Academy.
The three cultivation academies were high and mighty in the West Extension Mountain. They were places where the laws of the mortal world lost their effectiveness. Therefore, they were also known as the Holy Land Beyond the Law.
The Lion Camel Ridge was right next to the three cultivation academies.
Nobody was around within a hundred miles. The spiritual energy was thin, and the cultivation resources were scarce. There were only dozens of little liches that had slightly grown up being around.
It was done intentionally by the three cultivation academies.
The lich’s inner core was beneficial to cultivators!
Not only could it increase one’s cultivation base and magical power, but it could also allow immortal cultivators to obtain powerful innate divine powers. Sometimes, it could even be used to refine spirit tools.
Therefore, the three cultivation academies, which had long been eyeing the inner cores of these liches, were also estimating the harvest time and discussing the inner core’s distribution while allowing them to cultivate.
On this day, the three cultivation academies were finally ready to attack Lion Camel Ridge.
They knew that even if those liches had certain strengths, their cultivation bases wouldn’t be strong. After all, they lacked cultivation techniques and cultivation resources. Therefore, the three cultivation academies didn’t send experts from their academies. Instead, they randomly found a few teachers to lead the team and selected some students with better cultivation bases to hunt the liches.
In the past hundreds of years, the three cultivation academies have done the same thing. They had harvested the liches of Lion Camel Ridge one after another.
They haven’t encountered any accidents so far.
However, something unexpected happened this time because none of the teachers and students who went to hunt the liches returned.
The revered elders of the three cultivation academies were puzzled, but they didn’t take it seriously. They only sent a few more trusted aides.
However, their trusted aides didn’t return!
It made the revered elders of the three cultivation academies unable to sit still, so they went there personally.
They naturally had strong cultivation bases to become the cultivation academies’ revered elders. Although they were far from being as powerful as the cultivation sect’s elders, they were still “Core Formation stage” cultivators.
If one cultivated to the “Core Formation stage,” it meant that one could double his lifespan. The first step on the road to immortality was to live for two hundred years.
Afterward, something unexpected happened again.
The revered elders of the three cultivation academies didn’t return either!
The news didn’t only shock the cultivators on West Extension Mountain, but it also shocked the people in the three cultivation academies.
In the end, people requested the headmasters of the three cultivation academies to solve the matter.
Those who could become headmasters usually had profound cultivation bases. They were at least “Nascent Soul stage” cultivators, and some were even “Incarnation stage” and “Void Refinement stage” cultivators.
Even the sect disciples would have to show some respect to a “Void Refinement stage” headmaster.
However, West Extension Mountain wasn’t a blessed land. It only had many underground spiritual veins. Therefore, the three cultivation academies only had “Nascent Soul stage” headmasters.
They could cultivate powerful spiritual fire and spit out spiritual fire to resist their enemies!
One could consider it a major difference in the path of cultivation. When the spiritual fire fell, unless one had also cultivated the spiritual fire, they would only be burned to ashes by the spiritual fire.
No matter how unparalleled one’s combat strength was, one couldn’t escape this outcome!
The headmasters of the three cultivation academies set off. The people of West Extension Mountain, whether they were the cultivators of the academies or not, had high hopes for the headmasters. They believed that the three headmasters would soon resolve the incident at Lion Camel Ridge and rescue the academies’ revered elders, teachers, and students who were trapped there.
This time, the headmasters who went to Lion Camel Ridge finally returned to West Extension Mountain. However, they announced as soon as they returned that West Extension Mountain would be merged into Lion Camel Ridge and that they would listen to the orders of the three Liches Thearchs of Lion Camel Ridge!
The moment the news spread, all the cultivators on West Extension Mountain were shocked.
