Perfect: I am Shi An from Shicun, and I am Huang’s brother!

Chapter 295 All Rivers Flow into the Sea
At this moment, Shi An was in the old dean's cave, listening to his teachings.

"Shi An, although you are exceptionally talented and your strength is unparalleled in this era, the path of cultivation is long and arduous. You must never be arrogant or complacent, and you must always maintain a sense of awe."

The old dean spoke with a profound gaze and a deep, earnest tone.

Shi An stood respectfully to the side, listening attentively, and nodded in response: "Teacher's teachings are etched in my mind. I will certainly strive to cultivate myself and live up to your expectations."

The old dean nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Now that you have become my disciple, I will naturally impart all my knowledge to you. From today onwards, you will follow me into seclusion for cultivation. I will teach you some of the academy's most treasured techniques to help you reach even greater heights."

Upon hearing this, Shi An remained calm, but still bowed and thanked the teacher, saying, "Thank you, teacher!"

And so, time passed quietly. Under the old dean's guidance, Shi An's realm did not improve, but his strength increased considerably, and he also obtained many treasures and artifacts.

However, during Shi An's seclusion, the entire Three Thousand Provinces was not peaceful. The key to all this was none other than his two good younger brothers, Shi Hao and Shi Yi!

First, there was Shi Yi, who, after being framed by Shi An, was constantly being hunted down by the four major powers. But whether it was due to luck or something else, it is unknown.

Not only was he not caught up and killed by the four major forces, but his strength grew stronger and stronger. In the end, he not only killed many of their divine fires, but also several True God Realm experts.

Then there's Shi Hao. Because of his identity as the successor of the Supreme Daoist Temple, even though he had the intimidation of fighting Shi An, he still attracted a lot of people to attack him, and in the end, his identity was successfully exposed.

Upon learning that he was Huang, who had successively defeated prodigies such as Mingzi, Sun God Vine, and Lightning Child, and was also the Queen of the Stone Kingdom in the lower realm, the news caused a sensation.

"That guy has actually grown this much, he's become someone of importance?!"

Inside a magnificent and ancient bronze palace, as imposing as a mountain, a young man who had been meditating suddenly opened his eyes, shooting out two beams of cold lightning.

This is the Immortal Palace, one of the oldest and most mysterious lineages in the Upper Realm!

And this young man is the current successor of the Immortal Palace!
If any cultivators who have entered the Yuan Tian Secret Realm were here, they would surely be greatly surprised.

Although this successor of the Immortal Palace looked the same as that person, his aura was far more terrifying, making them fundamentally different.

This successor of the Immortal Palace is terrifying. Not only does he exude a wisp of the Great Dao aura, but more importantly, his eyes constantly display gold and silver symbols as he opens and closes them, as if he can see through the void.

Seeing the Immortal Palace successor's anger, an old servant with golden wings on his back and an astonishing aura immediately spoke up: "My lord, why be angry? That servant is no match for you."

Clearly, this is a top-tier deity, yet in the Celestial Palace, he can only serve as a servant!

Hearing the old servant's words, the successor of the Immortal Palace did not change much in expression, only saying indifferently: "It seems that it is time for my past self to return."

"Sir, what are you going to do...?"

Upon hearing this, the old servant's expression changed drastically. Was the master planning to destroy the second body and then condense an even stronger one?
The successor of the Immortal Palace did not answer the old servant's question. He simply rose slowly, looked at the chaotic energy outside the Bronze Immortal Palace, and said, "All rivers flow into the sea. The battle of geniuses in the Three Thousand Provinces is about to begin. I must face it in my strongest condition!"

"I want to give those who think I can't be invincible a surprise, to show them that in this world... who else but me can rule it!"

After speaking, the successor of the Immortal Palace suddenly unleashed an astonishing aura, which startled the wind and clouds, and caused the heavens and earth to rumble.

At the same time, another mountain, shrouded in purple mist and seemingly ancient, suddenly roared with a loud bang. Immediately afterward, a massive boulder weighing millions of kilograms, which had been blocking the base of the mountain, flew up, disappeared into the clouds, and vanished from sight.

"Ha ha ha ha········"

Then, a burst of unrestrained laughter rang out, shaking the heavens, and a burly man strode out from it.

The man had blood-red hair and a vertical eye between his eyebrows. He was extremely arrogant, holding his head high and gazing at the sky.

"Twenty years, a full twenty years, I am finally free!" The man laughed heartily, his full head of red hair burning like flames. Apart from his vertical eye, his other two eyes were also extremely evil, like a peerless demon reincarnated.

On the other side, a golden lake suddenly boiled, finally spewing out a beam of holy light that shot into the sky.

"boom!"

A loud bang not only shook the sky but also startled the entire state, leaving many people stunned and looking in this direction.

The next moment, a woman leaped out of the water, soaring into the sky and bursting forth with a dazzling golden light.

The woman was entirely golden; not only her hair but even her pupils were golden. Although she had not ignited divine fire, her aura was extremely terrifying, looking down upon all things.

There is also an ancient place that is gloomy and dark, filled with ghostly energy, where the wind howls and the cries of ghosts and wolves are heard incessantly.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a beam of blood-red light shot into the sky, dispelling some of the surrounding ghostly energy.

Amidst the light, a figure slowly emerged. It was a young man dressed in a black robe, his face as pale as paper, but his eyes flashed with an eerie blood-red light.

"Hmph, this damned place has trapped me for so many years, but today I'm finally free!"

The young man snorted coldly, his voice icy and chilling, as if it came from the deepest hell. He exuded a terrifying aura, and wherever he went, ghosts and monsters avoided him, not daring to approach.

An ancient and mysterious stone platform suddenly emitted a dazzling light, as if some powerful force was awakening.

Then, a figure slowly rose up, his face cold and stern, his eyes revealing endless majesty and confidence.

His aura surged like a violent storm, causing everything around him to tremble.

"Finally, this day has come!"

He muttered to himself, his voice filled with anticipation and murderous intent.

In a faraway land, atop a celestial mountain shrouded in mist and brimming with spiritual energy, a woman in white sat cross-legged on a giant rock, cultivating with her eyes closed.

She was surrounded by an ethereal aura, like a celestial being descended to earth, her beauty beyond compare.

Suddenly, the woman opened her eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.

"The Three Thousand Provinces Genius Battle is about to begin. I am determined to make a name for myself in this battle and let those who once looked down on me know how powerful I am!"

The woman spoke softly to herself, her tone firm.

She is an outstanding disciple of a reclusive sect, who has been diligently cultivating, all for the sake of making a name for herself in the Three Thousand Provinces Genius Battle.

In an instant, the three thousand provinces were in turmoil, and geniuses from all walks of life emerged.

Deep within the Celestial Academy, Shi An sat cross-legged on an ancient altar, surrounded by endless, dazzling stars, each containing world-destroying power.

"The Zhou Tian Star Array is finally working perfectly."

Shi An opened his eyes, his gaze seemingly reflecting a galaxy in reverse. He then slowly rose and looked into the distance: "Judging by the time, the Hundred Rivers Converging into the Sea should begin soon."
