The Great Ruler wanted to lie down but was thrown into the Spirit Road.

Upon hearing these words, all the trial participants on the Spiritual Path felt a bittersweet sense of relief and joy.

For more than a year, they have lived in constant fear, terrified that someone might slit their throat while they are resting, and also worried about whether they will be safe and sound the next day.

Only when they faced the announcement from the deans of the five academies did they finally put aside their lingering fears and realize that the Spiritual Path had finally been settled.

"Which academy are you going to? Come to Wuling Academy. Some old men just sent me a message, asking me to try my best to get you in." Wuling had a smile on his face, and his undisguised attitude made the old men from Wuling Academy who were looking over cough involuntarily.

Yun Mo had not yet made a decision. He simply turned to look at Wen Qingxuan, who was flying down from the high platform, and his expression gradually softened from calm.

Wen Qingxuan remained composed, but upon seeing Yun Mo's expression, she pursed her red lips, gave a soft snort, and said, "Most of the Heavenly Demon Grasses are either in extremely remote demonic lands, or their detection is interfered with by others and cannot be detected. The only place with a chance is a continent of ruins."

"The Relic Continent?" Yun Mo frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled. If it was the Relic Continent, it should be very difficult to find, so why was there a chance?

"That continent of ruins is under the control of the five major academies, and it is also the venue for the next academy competition. The Heavenly Demon Grass grows in one of the demon palaces, enough for you to condense a supreme avatar," Wen Qingxuan said calmly.

"Uh... the Academy Tournament?" Yun Mo's lips twitched. He remembered the Academy Tournament, but he didn't expect that the Heavenly Demon Grass would be involved.

"The Academy Tournament is a competition that involves countless academies. In fact, calling it a competition is more like calling it a trial ground. There are many opportunities there, but the final result is linked to the honor of the academy you belong to."

Wu Ling gave a brief introduction, explaining that many students from Wu Ling Academy had previously participated in the academy competition and achieved fairly good results.

"Well? Have you decided which academy to go to? Another old man just sent me a telepathic message, saying that there are many benefits to you entering the Martial Spirit Academy. They even promised that as soon as you enter the Martial Spirit Academy, you will be the most core disciple."

"Are you going to the Martial Spirit Academy?" Wen Qingxuan glanced at the Martial Spirit Academy, making him chuckle awkwardly, and then asked Yun Mo.

"So, you're not going to send me to Wanhuang Academy, are you? Dean Tang Qiu would probably tear me apart," Yun Mo laughed.

Wen Qingxuan stared at him for a long time, then smiled and said, "It's not impossible. I'll take you in. When she sees how talented you are, maybe she'll give you special treatment."

"Then forget it, I think going through the main entrance is more suitable for me."

Just then, after most of the students had chosen their preferred colleges, the deans of the five colleges turned their attention to the last few students.

These people are all of royal talent, especially Yun Mo's group. If they can all enter their respective academies, they will be the strongest competitors in the next academy competition.

"Student Yunmo, have you decided which academy to choose? Why not enter the Holy Spirit Academy? I believe it won't be a waste of your talent," Dean Tiansheng said, having also seen through some of the facts.

"The Holy Spirit Academy is ultimately too sacred; perhaps the Northern Cang Spirit Academy would be more suitable for you," Dean Taicang also extended his olive branch.

Dean Tang Qiu was smiling the whole time, but he paused slightly when he saw the meaning on Wen Qingxuan's face.

"You deans are too kind. I had already set my sights on the Martial Spirit Academy, and all I can say now is thank you for your consideration."

"Hehe, you chose the Martial Spirit Academy, and the Martial Spirit Academy also chose you. The Martial Spirit Academy will be the best place for you to grow. I believe that with your talent, you will definitely achieve unimaginable improvement in the Martial Spirit Academy." Dean Tianwang smiled, glanced admiringly at Wu Ling and Wu Yingying, and promised Yun Mo.

Dean Taicang sighed inwardly, but he wasn't without gains. Luo Li's decision to join the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy had truly pleased him.

Each of the major spiritual academies had its own gains. Ji Xuan entered the Holy Spirit Academy, and Wen Qingxuan entered the Myriad Phoenix Academy. Only the dean of the Azure Sky Spirit Academy was somewhat disappointed, but he still offered his blessings.

After all the students had chosen their academies, the Mirror of Judgment emitted a bright light, causing five illusory and hazy teleportation arrays to form on the platform.

"Tomorrow, each dean will lead their students into the Spirit Academy. For the rest of today, you students can say goodbye to your team members. After all, it won't be easy to see each other again."

……

Yunmo and his group of five arrived at the new courtyard outside the Spirit Road and began drinking again.

In fact, four of the five people entered the Martial Spirit Academy, while Wen Qingxuan went to the Myriad Phoenix Academy alone.

"Don't worry, Sister Qingxuan. When we return to the Martial Spirit Academy, we'll ask the academy elders for permission to visit the Myriad Phoenix Academy around the same time," Wu Yingying said, sitting in front of the campfire.

"Actually, I could also lead a team to visit your Martial Spirit Academy," Wen Qingxuan said with a smile, taking a sip of fruit wine and blushing.

"Then Sister Qingxuan must stay at the Martial Spirit Academy for a longer period of time, preferably until the start of the Academy Competition. Then we can reunite as a small group and train together again."

"Then it depends on whether your Captain Yun Mo is willing to take me, an outsider from Wanhuang Academy, along," Wen Qingxuan said, glancing at Yun Mo who was engrossed in drinking.

"Heh, no way. Captain Yun Mo may have a dirty mind, but he's not the type to turn his back on people. After all, we've spent quite a while with him." Wu Yingying said something nice for Yun Mo for the first time, leaving him speechless.

"Perhaps you can know a person's face but not their heart, but you guessed right, he is indeed a bit dirty inside, far from what he appears on his face." Wen Qingxuan said with a smile.

Yun Mo was the quietest tonight, barely exchanging words with Wu Ling and Qing He, simply gazing silently at the moonlight and sipping his fruit wine.

As night deepened, Wu Ling and the other two returned to their temporary lodgings, leaving the space to Yun Mo and Wen Qingxuan.

"I've told you so many times, if you can't drink, then don't drink. It's not like it's a matter of life and death. You can't even sit still this time." Yun Mo rolled his eyes slightly, gently catching Wen Qingxuan as she was about to fall over, and said in a low voice.

Wen Qingxuan pursed her red lips, looked steadily into his eyes, and finally let down her guard, leaning gently on his shoulder.

"I come from the Wen family of the Northern Region of the Great Thousand World. Even if the five great academies were to face it together, it would still be an ant-like existence. Coming here is just a training exercise."

"Ha, that would be like a fairy descending to earth. I'm way off."

Yun Mo smiled and continued, "I was born an orphan, but luckily a kind old man found me. I grew up in Qingmu Academy. My only family members are the old man, Qinghe, and a little maid. Moreover, I have been marked with the mark of the evil race, and my life is in constant danger..."

"Then you're too weak. Someone could slap you to death in the future." Wen Qingxuan's eyes gradually became misty, but her expression remained calm.

"Yes, and if I don't hurry up and improve my strength, even if your Wen family kills me, I will be corrupted by the evil race from beyond the realm and completely fall into depravity."

"Then what should you do?"

"What else can I do but become a true powerhouse?"

"...Are you sure you can handle it?"

"You can give it a try."

"roll!"
