Chapter 686: Evil King Mountain, the Forbidden Zone for Living Beings(1/2)
Qingyun Academy, steaming clouds and rosy clouds, Lingshan pavilions, clusters of palaces, waterfalls and springs, auspicious beasts inhabiting, and some mountain peak monasteries and other places are even shimmering with fairy clouds and twilight, so bright that you can tell at a glance that this is an extraordinary place.
Lingbao Pavilion is one of the most important places in Qingyun Academy. It stores various treasures that Qingyun Academy has retained over the years, including Qingyuntian in the last century.
At this moment, when looking in the direction of Lingbao Pavilion, Gu Chen's heart beat violently and his breathing became rapid.
He had a hunch that the second piece of residual jade was definitely in the Lingbao Pavilion of Qingyun Academy!
This discovery made him extremely excited.
It has only been less than a year since he obtained the first fragment of jade from Ji Iceland. Even Gu Chen himself did not expect that he would be able to find the location of the second fragment of jade so quickly.
"It would be great if I could get it directly." Gu Chen's heartbeat accelerated. He suppressed his excitement and did not do anything excessive.
After all, this is Qingyun Academy, and there is no shortage of powerful and giant figures. Even the dean of the academy is a powerful person.
He wanted to take the residual jade away from Lingbao Pavilion by force, which was simply a dream, or an act that would lead to death.
Not to mention, Lingbao Pavilion, as one of the most important places in Qingyun Academy, is protected by a powerful formation. Without permission, even the powerful in the heavenly realm will have difficulty breaking in.
After all, in all these years, there has been no case of theft in Lingbao Pavilion, and Gu Chen certainly didn't think that he could succeed with his meager cultivation.
"What's wrong?"
At this time, teaching assistant Yu Xi saw that Gu Chen was looking in the direction of Lingbao Pavilion in a daze, so he couldn't help asking.
"Nothing." When Gu Chen heard Yu Xi's call, he immediately came to his senses and shook his head.
Yu Xi smiled slightly and said: "Lingbao Pavilion contains the treasures of Qingyun Academy from past generations. As long as you make enough contributions to the academy or pay enough price, you can exchange for corresponding items, or treasures, from Lingbao Pavilion.
On this point, the academy is still very open-minded."
Gu Chen nodded slightly, but did not speak.
Of course he understood the principle of equal exchange, but it was a part, or a quarter, of the most powerful inheritance in all eternity. Even the Supreme Ice Emperor of the heavens in the last century wanted to get it, and its value could not be measured at all.
After searching Gu Chen's whole body, except for the first fragment of jade, he found nothing that matched it.
"Maybe Qingyun Academy may not know its true use." Suddenly, such an idea appeared in Gu Chen's mind.
After all, according to the records in the original diary, Qingyuntian's people had not discovered the true use of residual jade.
The reason why Gu Chen knew about it was because the Ice Emperor told him. It was understandable that the people at Qingyun Academy didn't know.
"If this is the case, then the chance of obtaining it will be much greater." Gu Shensi thought.
If the value of the residual jade is known to Qingyun Academy, then as long as Qingyun Academy is not stupid, it is basically impossible to give it to him.
Moreover, if this happens, Gu Chen will not be able to ask for it. Once he asks for it, Qingyun Academy will also be suspicious of whether he knows something.
However, if the true effectiveness of the residual jade is not known, then Gu Chen has nothing to worry about and can just find a way to exchange it.
"This matter is not urgent at the moment. I have just arrived at Qingyun Academy and I still have plenty of time." Gu Chen took one last look at Lingbao Pavilion and then withdrew his gaze.
Some things should not be rushed. As soon as I arrived at Qingyun Academy, I went to Lingbao Pavilion. It was so purposeful that it would inevitably arouse suspicion.
You must know that those powerful and even giants in the heaven realm, and even the dean of Qingyun Academy, have lived for a long time, their eyelashes are empty, and their minds are more sensitive than the last.
Since he wants to exchange for the residual jade, Gu Chen will definitely do it quietly. Besides, now that he has just arrived at Qingyun Academy, many things are unclear, so it is better not to be too hasty.
Later, under the leadership of Yu Xi and other assistants, Gu Chen and the others walked all the way to a palace area.
"This is where you live, you can choose whatever you want." Yu Xi and others said.
The palace area in front of them covers a vast area, as open as a city, enough for all of them to live.
After all, Qingyun Academy was made by cutting some fragments from Qingyuntian and refining it. Its essence is a small world, no smaller than Kyushu, it can even be said to be much larger. It has to accommodate thousands of people. In fact,
It's a piece of cake.
Later, Gu Chen chose a palace as his residence in Qingyun Academy.
For the time being, he can be considered to have settled here, at least for a short period of time, perhaps in years.
Seeing that Gu Chen and others had settled down, Yu Xi and the other assistants also left.
After the assessment and familiarity with Qingyun Academy, the sky was completely dark at this moment. Many people who passed the assessment were very tired and returned to their residences to rest.
As soon as Gu Chen returned to the palace of his choice, there was a sudden knock on the door, which made him a little surprised.
The door was wide open, and standing at the door was a pretty woman with graceful figure and very polite appearance. She blinked her big eyes and saw Gu Chen appeared. She stretched out her smooth white hands and presented an invitation.
"Mr. Gu, my princess will be invited in an hour." The woman said sweetly.
Of course, Gu Chen recognized the woman in front of him. She was the maid of Princess Xidi of the Shenghua Dynasty. He thought for a moment and took the invitation from her hand.
"In that case, I won't disturb Mr. Gu's rest for now." The maid said, smiled softly, bowed Yingying, and left.
"This Princess Xidi is worthy of being born in the royal family. As soon as she entered Qingyun Academy, she started to make friends with everyone?" Gu Chen glanced at the gilded invitation in his hand.
An hour passed very quickly. When the time came, Gu Chen went out and arrived at the gathering place.
Although he is not interested in this kind of occasion, if he doesn't come, he will definitely be considered unsociable, and some trouble will probably arise.
After all, Princess Xidi is extremely beautiful and extremely talented. Coupled with her status and background, she has many suitors even in Qingyun Academy.
What's more, if a group of geniuses gather together, maybe Gu Chen can get some useful information.
The gathering place was not far from the palace area where Gu Chen and others lived. It was rented by Princess Xidi from Qingyun Academy. It was a huge suspended island, as bright as day.
On the island, the spiritual energy is rich and the fragrance is everywhere. In an hour, Princess Xidi has ordered everyone to prepare everything, including all kinds of precious wine and food.
When Gu Chen came here, a lot of people had already gathered.
The Sun God Bird, Chilong, Kui Niu, Jian Clan, Qingluan Clan, etc. all came.
After all, Princess Xidi is backed by the Shenghua Dynasty and is powerful. In addition, she is beautiful and talented. If she comes forward to gather people, all the evildoers will be willing to give her face.
Even the most arrogant Chilong Clan monster was already sitting there, tasting the wine.
Gu Chen even saw Zhenyuan from the Wuji Dao Sect, Bai Jingyuan from the Yunxiao Tiangong and Su Nan from the Xumi Buddha Sect. The three of them were sitting together and talking.
Princess Xidi was at the front, talking about something with the Sun God Bird Clan and other monsters from various tribes.
Seeing Gu Chen appear, Princess Xidi's eyes lit up, she said sorry to the Sun God Bird and other geniuses of various races, and then walked over to Gu Chen.
"Gu Bai, are you Mr. Gu?" Princess Xidi has a delicate face, rosy lips, graceful and slender figure, and a curvy figure. Even in Gu Chen's opinion, she is a rare beauty in the world.
"Gu Bai, I have met the princess." Gu Chen bowed his hands in greeting, his eyes were calm, and he did not show any other expression because of Princess Xidi's beauty.
Hearing this, Princess Xidi smiled sweetly and said in a soft voice: "There is no need to call me princess. We are both students of this class of Qingyun College. This is a fate that only comes once in ten thousand years. Just call me by my name.
I'll be fine with 'Xidi'."
Gu Chen's arrival also attracted the attention of the Sun God Bird, Chilong and other monsters from all races.
Because when he climbed the white jade ladder not long ago, Gu Chen was on par with them, which made the monsters very concerned.
Especially, until now, they don't know where Gu Chen comes from or which force he comes from.
"Master Gu, please take a seat." Princess Xidi said softly, leading Gu Chen to the side of a group of top monsters.
As a member of the royal family, Princess Xidi is indeed very good at socializing. She even plans everyone's seats in advance.
People like Gu Chen, who are assessed to reach the top, will naturally sit with the Sun God Bird and other monsters from all races.
When passing by, Zhenyuan saw Gu Chen and nodded to him.
"But Gu Bai, Brother Gu?" He suddenly spoke and called out to Gu Chen.
"That's right." Gu Chen smiled. Of course he had a good impression of Zhenyuan.
"I am Zhenyuan of the Wuji Dao Sect." Zhenyuan stood up, clasped his fists at Gu Chen, and then introduced Bai Jingyuan and Su Nan to Gu Chen.
"I don't know why, when I met Brother Gu before, I felt like we were old friends at first sight, and there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity with you."
Zhenyuan said with emotion: "Seeing Brother Gu, I somehow remembered a friend I made a few years ago. If he could appear here now, he would definitely be able to be named on the gold list and reach the top of the ladder."
Bai Jingyuan and Su Nan heard the words and of course knew who Zhenyuan was talking about, but they did not answer.
Gu Chen smiled slightly and didn't say much. It was not the time to recognize each other yet.
Immediately, he naturally sat next to Zhenyuan and the others, declined Princess Xidi's summons, and chatted with them familiarly.
As time went by, more and more people appeared, and soon, the heroes who passed the examination and joined Qingyun Academy all appeared here.
Princess Xidi was the initiator, so when everyone gathered, she came forward to deliver a speech and said a few words.
Everyone is almost the same age, and there is not much difference in age, so the atmosphere here quickly becomes more and more familiar.
Of course, there are still barriers. A circle is a circle. For example, the top monsters of various races such as Sun Bird will never communicate with other people. They only see people of the same level.
Even the troubles of Bai Jingyuan and Xumi Buddha Sect of Yunxiao Tiangong are still not noticed by them.
During this period, Princess Xidi came here many times, wanting to bring Gu Chen and Zhenyuan to join the circle of top monsters from various races such as Sun Bird, but she was declined by the two of them.
As all parties continued to clink glasses, the sound of clinking was heard constantly, and Gu Chen suddenly heard someone mention the words "Living Zone".
This couldn't help but attract his attention. After all, after coming to the upper world, he had contact with the people of the Holy Sect, but he had never encountered the restricted area of life.
The person who mentioned these four words was none other than the genius of the Sun God Bird Clan. His name was Yan Qi. He was a young man with an extremely heroic appearance. He was tall, even his hair was light golden, and he looked extremely extraordinary.
There were faint bursts of fire in his pupils, standing here like an ancient fire god.
The Sun God Bird is not a local force in the Dongxuan Region, but comes from other realms.
