The Eternal Calamity of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 254 The Turmoil Escalates
In the days that followed, many things happened on the Immortal Battlefield.

A fierce battle ensued among the prodigies, vying for the destiny of immortality.

In this story, Shi Hao, disguised as Wang Xi's servant, perfectly embodies the proverb "playing dumb to fool the enemy."

He first killed Feng Xingtian, the descendant of the Wind Clan tainted by darkness, then slew the Void Beast and the Three-Headed King from another realm, and suppressed a prodigy named Mo Dao. Although the latter did not belong to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, he still took him as his subordinate.

In the ultimate battlefield of immortals, Shi Hao spoke with a woman whose true immortal mark had manifested, drank the immortal wine, and thus experienced a cycle of reincarnation. He then encountered another powerful being in white robes who could rival the world in the long river of time.

……

Soon, the fierce competition ended, and the disciples of the Heavenly God Academy gradually withdrew.

This mysterious journey was incredibly fruitful for everyone, yielding many treasures.

Blood of celestial beasts, remnants of celestial medicines, materials for divine weapons... one after another, these incredible finds make one insanely envious.

Even more outrageous, someone actually brought out a jade scripture.

It looked like a piece of glowing jade, shrouded in purple mist and rising in a hazy, ethereal atmosphere, with faint chanting coming from within.

Moved by what he saw, Shi Hao rushed over and snatched it away.

Because during the Great Battle of Geniuses in the Three Thousand Provinces, the Ancient Land of Creation, opened by the blooming of immortal petals, contained the Jade Scripture as its greatest treasure.

Unexpectedly, I saw something similar here, and even two of them.

"Immortal scriptures? Hahaha, two of them have appeared at once, what wonderful news!"

A loud laugh suddenly came from high in the sky, and several elders appeared together. They had been hiding in the shadows, but now they could no longer sit still.

At this moment, Shi Hao and his newly recruited subordinate Mo Dao each held a jade scripture, staring at the group of people with uncertain expressions.

An elder said kindly, "You don't recognize the ancient immortal characters on it, and you can't open it. Why don't you entrust it to us for safekeeping? You will be rewarded handsomely when you return to the academy."

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao gripped the stone book tightly, shook his head, clearly unwilling to let the duck that was about to be eaten fly away.

"Relax, don't be nervous. As elders, how could we possibly fight over your things? We're just taking them for research now. Once we've deciphered the contents, we'll let you two meritorious individuals see them later," another elder explained with a smile.

Now, everyone was envious and watching this scene intently.

Shi Hao exchanged a glance with Mo Dao without leaving a trace. In an instant, the two reached a tacit understanding and then handed over the jade scripture with a "helpless" expression.

Seeing this, the elders nodded in satisfaction.

Of course, they didn't forget their job and asked loudly, "Has everyone returned?"

"Bah! What kind of elder are you? You even steal the opportunities from your disciples!"

Not far away, the little rabbit spoke with disdain. She always dared to say anything and had no taboos.

Unsurprisingly, this immediately drew criticism and rebuttal.

"Don't talk nonsense. This is just a temporary loan for research. Rather than letting it gather dust in their hands, it's better to hand the jade scripture over to the elders for exploration and excavation."

Although many people were unhappy with the little rabbit, she was, after all, the master of the little Qilin and received special attention from the Grand Elder, so they only dared to engage in verbal battles.

After a long wait, the scene gradually calmed down, and the radiance subsided, indicating that most of the disciples had arrived. As for the remaining few, they had mostly died inside the immortal battlefield.

"Let's go back to the academy!"

An elder waved his hand and used some kind of secret technique to bring everyone to the giant golden ship.

Then the stars shone brightly, and the enormous warship traversed the void, beginning its return journey along the same path it had taken.

Thus concludes our journey on the Immortal Battlefield.

However, the storm was far from over. Both Shi Hao's combat power, which far exceeded that of his servants, and Mo Dao's intriguing background, had fallen into the eyes of those with ulterior motives.

"Oh my god, I'm finally back. It's not easy to be alive."

"Thank goodness, we're back at the academy. That place is no place for a human to stay."

As the warship slowly landed at the Heavenly God Academy, some people breathed a sigh of relief and completely relaxed.

Especially the servants, who serve as cannon fodder on the immortal battlefield, never knowing when they will die.

An elder instructed, "Alright, everyone go back and rest."

After saying that, the elders disappeared without stopping.

Because what they obtained from the Immortal Battlefield was extraordinary, they needed to immediately gather people to study it.

Afterwards, according to statistics, a total of four jade scriptures were obtained, which can be described as a brilliant achievement.

The elders of the academy, drawn by the aroma, gathered around, all incredibly excited, hoping to read the immortal scriptures inside.

Unfortunately, after research, it was found that the things recorded in the jade scriptures are not applicable to cultivation and seem to be unsuitable for the current system.

Moreover, some of the content is obscure and difficult to understand, even for the oldest and most knowledgeable person.

It has to be said that this was a big problem, and it stumped them immediately.

"In my opinion, we should send it to the First Elder," the Fourth Elder suggested.

After a moment of contemplation, the other elders could only nod helplessly, "Very well, if even the Grand Elder cannot decipher it, then it can only mean that these immortal scriptures are not meant for the Heavenly God Academy."

……

Leaving aside the excitement and regret of the academy's higher-ups, the academy itself was in turmoil, causing a huge sensation among the disciples.

"Immortal scriptures! They actually brought back more than one. I really hope the elders can decipher them quickly so that we can have a chance to study them."

"What?! They actually captured a creature from another realm, and it was done by Fairy Wang Xi's servant? You're not kidding, are you?"

"Not only that, I heard that the three-headed king and the void beast were also killed by that servant."

Immediately, various messages spread, sparking heated discussions.

Public opinion focused on Shi Hao because his valiant achievements on the Immortal Battlefield were revealed, leaving everyone who heard about them stunned.

"No way, is it really that powerful? Is this still a servant?"

"Who knows? Anyway, he was taken away as soon as he came back and taken to the Grand Elder's secluded retreat. They might question him about whether he really did those crazy things."

At this moment, both the elders and the true disciples were paying attention to Shi Hao and looking forward to his future performance.

But much later, Shi Hao emerged from the Grand Elder's secluded retreat. Without saying much, he returned directly to the Qingxi Youlin for further seclusion, letting the rumors run rampant.

……

The turmoil is escalating.

People were very curious about what kind of freak was capable of subduing Mo Dao, who possessed three strands of immortal energy, and successively killing the Void Beast and the Three-Headed King.

So, in the days that followed, curious cultivators would frequently appear outside Wang Xi's cave, among the great mountains, wanting to visit him.

The witch was so annoyed that she moved out as soon as the new cave was completed, leaving Wang Xi to suffer alone.

One day, Elder Meng Tianzheng suddenly issued a decree, announcing that Shi Hao had officially become a disciple of the Heavenly God Academy.

This brought the controversy to its climax and attracted the attention of many forces, who then extended olive branches to it.
