Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

The Transformation Period!

Everyone present felt fear, and they unleashed their most powerful martial arts techniques in unison, blasting towards Ye Yuchan who was not far away!

They absolutely cannot let Ye Yuchan detonate this ball of light, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Sword rise!!"

How could Han Jiuquan not sense the terrifying power of this lightning and flame orb? He immediately roared, transforming into a hundred-foot giant, wielding a huge golden blade with the force of splitting mountains and seas, trying to stop the petite silver-haired girl.

But it was too late—

The silver-haired girl raised her pale face and threw her last bit of spiritual energy into the black light, her dark eyes filled with a cunning smile.

"Take care, and don't bother coming back!"

As the girl whispered, endless lightning burst forth from the lightning and flame sphere at the dark cave entrance, which had already reached its critical value. What followed was a violent roar that was enough to rupture eardrums and shake one's soul.

An endless roar.

The entire volcano began to tremble, and countless cracks appeared in the earth. In an instant, lightning and black flames engulfed the spells and martial arts techniques sweeping in from all around, and even swallowed Han Jiuquan, who had transformed into a hundred-foot giant, as well as the golden light and imperial might that filled the sky.

"Do not!!!"

Han Jiuquan screamed in pain, glaring resentfully at the girl named Ye Yuchan.

He felt as if all the meridians in his body had been pierced, his spiritual root had been completely destroyed, and even his soul had been severely damaged. After experiencing immense pain, his flesh and blood immediately lost all sensation, and even his consciousness was almost annihilated.

If this continues, I'll die!

We surrender! We surrender!

The crisis called death rushed into his mind. Without any hesitation, he could no longer maintain his arrogant attitude in the face of death. He immediately silently recited the word "surrender" in his heart!

Immediately, the teleportation array appeared.

He wasn't the only one; almost all the cultivators shrouded in lightning and black flames had teleportation arrays appear beneath their feet.

Just as they were about to be teleported away, they saw it.

I saw a figure.

A fragile, powerless figure was thrown back by the terrifying recoil of the cannon after that earth-shattering shot was fired.

Under the force of the recoil, Ye Yuchan was sent flying backwards towards the summit, her back to it!

800 meters... 500 meters... 300 meters...

It's still going on, it's still going on!

The immense recoil from the artillery barrage nearly twisted Ye Yuchan's arm, and a faint blue barrier even appeared on her body—a magic array set up by Yun Ping to protect his disciples' lives.

That's a magic array that only triggers when someone's life is in danger. In other words, the recoil from this lightning and fire orb could actually kill Ye Yuchan!

Three hundred meters... two hundred meters... one hundred meters...

The speed is decreasing, indicating that the force is slowly dissipating.

Wait... could it be that she—

Almost all the cultivators present stood up, their incredulous gazes fixed on the secret realm of the near-level cultivator. They finally realized what Ye Yuchan was thinking.

Even Jiang Shaoguang and the others stood up, their faces filled with astonishment and surprise.

Yes……

Ye Yuchan knew her last trump card was her strongest card, and it could only be used once.

That was the second form of her magical artifact, Black Rain—Black Light.

She had used the Black Light once when she was still a Xuanmen cultivator, but that was with the help of the Forging Saint. At that time, she was only a Xuanmen cultivator, but she was able to use the Black Light to unleash power comparable to that of a cultivator nearing the peak of the Transformation stage, and she was almost blown out of the courtyard. If Yun Ping hadn't stopped her, she might have flown down to the foot of the mountain.

Now, she is at the peak of the Spirit Platform stage, and her spiritual energy is much stronger than before. If the total amount of spiritual energy input is increased by about five times...

The resulting reaction force might just send her straight to the top of the mountain!

This was a gamble with a low success rate... Ye Yuchan knew very well that she wasn't sure if she had enough spiritual energy left to reach the mountaintop, but she had no choice but to take the gamble.

And facts have proven—

The silver-haired girl, almost completely unconscious, spun in the air for a couple of seconds before the recoil from the black light finally dissipated. Ye Yuchan, pulled by gravity, then fell for about two seconds—

He crashed heavily onto the mountaintop.

hum~

In an instant, time stood still!

At this moment, all the cultivators who had not yet left the near-level secret realm were simultaneously shocked, and they all froze in place as if they had turned into stone statues.

Then, a teleportation array appeared beneath their feet.

This wasn't because they chose to admit defeat, but because—

The battle for the top spot has come to a complete end!

There can only be one winner.

Yuntian Academy – Ye Yuchan.

155. Afterwards

Yuntian Academy.

These four words spread at an extremely unreasonable speed in the Desolate Sky Domain, reaching a level of familiarity that was known to almost everyone within the Lantian Empire.

the reason is simple.

The top spot on the list of this battle among all sects did not belong to the Great Wilderness Sect, the Northern Ice Palace, royalty, or a sixth-level family from the Extreme Heaven Domain.

Instead, it was the Cloud Sky Academy, which had never appeared before the world before, yet had become an overnight sensation.

Ye Yuchan.

In the first round, they won all ten matches, almost every one of which was a crushing victory.

In the second round, he held his own against Liu Kaige, possessing an elemental physique and extremely high archery skills, almost reaching the threshold of the "Freedom of Mind" realm.

In the ranking competition, he defeated two opponents single-handedly, swiftly and decisively crippling Han Mo, a disciple of the Three-Day Academy, and also overpowering Han Jiuquan, the young master of the Han family and the recognized genius of the Three-Day Academy.

In the end, he even shattered Han Jiuquan's Kingless Sword with a shocking blow, and the power he unleashed was close to that of the God Transformation stage!

Such a mysterious and powerful girl alone is enough to make everyone remember the name of Yuntian Academy.

But this is not the end.

Because after the end of the Level 1 Secret Realm, the Level 2 Secret Realm on the other side also came to an end.

Three students from Yuntian Academy made the list!

Fan Luokui of Yuntian Academy is at the peak of the Transformation God stage. His swordsmanship is astonishing, and his sword speed is so fast that even cultivators in the Opening Yuan stage find it difficult to resist. He has a total of twenty-five Xuanjin tokens and ranks seventh on the Lan Ranking.

Jiang Yuetian of Yuntian Academy has achieved minor success in the Transformation God stage, and his spear skills have reached the Free Will Realm. He possesses the elemental physique of Lava Body. In his battle against Jiang Shengxuan, a genius from the Extreme Heaven Domain, he defeated him despite being three realms apart. He has a total of 6 Xuanjin Tokens and ranks 39th on the Lan Ranking (the highest ranking among those with the same number of tokens).

And... Lin Yuan.

At the young age of fourteen, he became an eighth-level Grand Qin Master. He stunned most cultivators instantly with three wild songs. His cultivation method and spiritual energy are unknown, but judging from the power, he has at least the power of the Lesser Completion of the Opening Yuan stage. He has a total of 45 Xuanjin Tokens and ranks second on the Lan Ranking!

Lin Yuan was just one stone away from first place. In fact, the final battle was a duel between Lin Yuan and the first-place winner, a student from the Three Days Academy who had reached the Lesser Completion stage of the Kaiyuan realm.

That was truly a fierce battle—for the student from the Three-Day Academy.

The time limit saved him; just as he was about to lose, the time limit ended, thus preventing him from falling from the top spot.

That being said, most people believe that the real number one on the Lan Ranking should be that adorable little girl, as delicate as a porcelain doll—Lin Yuan.

If that's true, then this would be the first time since the first "Battle of Ten Thousand Sects" that a sect has won first place on both lists.

Unfortunately, Yuntian Academy was just a hair's breadth away from making history.

Inside the palace...

With a delicate face that would make most women in the world envious, and long eyelashes trembling slightly, the young man named Jiang Yuetian slowly opened his eyes, staring blankly at the emerald-colored ceiling.

He remembered that he should have been in the jungle, knocked unconscious by the earth-shattering explosion, but now it seemed... he was in a palace?

They were eliminated.

The thought came to him subconsciously.

But the snow-white figure seemed to have seen through his mistaken idea, and moved a stool to sit next to Jiang Yuetian.

"Don't worry, it's all over. You haven't been eliminated."

Jiang Yuetian was stunned. It was only at this moment that he realized there was someone next to him. He stiffly turned his head and saw that warm and comforting face.

Yunping—his teacher.

The young man in white, with a faint smile and slightly raised eyebrows, looked at him and said, "Not only were you not eliminated, but you also got thirty-ninth place thanks to your outstanding performance."

"Teacher..." As if it had been a long time since they last met, Jiang Yuetian spoke slowly, though his voice was somewhat hoarse at the moment, "I should have fainted..."

"You were unconscious, but your junior sister Luo Kui found you immediately and pulled you out of the aftershocks of the explosion. If it weren't for her, you would have had to stay here for several more days."

"Is that Junior Sister Luo Kui...?"

Jiang Yuetian breathed a sigh of relief, then asked with concern, "How are Junior Sister Luo Kui and the others? Were they hurt because of me?"

Yunping was taken aback for a moment, then smiled with great satisfaction.

This kid... after waking up, he didn't even ask about his own injuries, but instead started worrying about his junior sisters...

"Don't worry, Luo Kui and the others are fine. In fact, they've become the talk of the town and are enjoying the limelight."

"Where are Junior Sister Yu Chan and the others...?"

"Ruoxue is fine for now, just a little frustrated."

At this point, Yunping shrugged helplessly.

It's normal for Zhang Ruoxue to feel frustrated, after all, she dragged Ye Yuchan down in the final ranking round, which made her even less confident in her own abilities.

Yunping has comforted her several times about this matter; the rest depends on others and herself.

As for rain cicadas...

Before Yunping could even speak about Ye Yuchan's condition, the rustic brown wooden door was pushed open—
