"Everyone, get ready. In half a day, we'll set out together and head to Emperor Heaven." Watching the divine light surging in the distance, Bai Zhantang said solemnly.
"So what about the General Hospital? If we all leave, wouldn't this place become an empty courtyard? Bai Xiaole said with some concern.
Now that the formation had just been broken through and repairing it would take time and effort, and with these elite soldiers gone, if someone harmed the academy at this moment, that would be a disaster.
"Don't worry, as long as there's one person here, the safety of Lingxiao Academy will be absolutely guaranteed." Bai Zhantang said with a smile.
In Long Chen's mind, the image of the Pure Courtyard Lord holding a broom, indifferent to worldly affairs, suddenly appeared.
"But I've never seen Lord Jingyuan make a move!" Bai Shishi couldn't help but say.
"Of course Lord Jingyuan won't intervene. Until the academy's life and death are at stake, he won't act. Alright, everyone, get ready. Bring whatever you want. After all, this trip to Emperor Heaven is uncertain when you'll return." Bai Zhantang said.
Everyone's hearts tightened as they hurried back to their own quarters, bringing everything they could with them. As they were about to leave the academy, they felt a bit reluctant, having lived here for so long and already considered this place their home.
As Bai Zhantang issued the order, Lingxiao Academy instantly erupted from top to bottom. However, this time, only those at the Divine Sovereign Realm could enter the Emperor Heaven.
In Bai Zhantang's words, those who are not at this level find it very difficult to withstand the crushing power of heaven and earth's laws upon entering Emperor Heaven; if things go wrong, they might even die.
And disciples below the Divine Sovereign realm need not worry. Once they advance to the Divine Sovereign stage, the World Gate will be fully stable. Even without the academy coming to pick them up, they can freely enter the Emperor's Heaven.
For a moment, the entire academy became bustling, and those disciples with lower cultivation could only watch helplessly as their senior brothers and sisters excitedly packed their bags, their eyes full of envy.
Many of the older generation of strong cultivators in the academy, although their cultivation was sufficient, still didn't want to leave. They were too old and had long lost the sharpness they had in their youth. Even if they entered Emperor Heaven, there would be little chance for progress.
Rather than venturing into the Emperor's Heaven, it's better to quietly retire at the academy. In other words, time has worn down their sharp edges; their spirit hasn't faded, but their hearts have already faded.
The disciples who could enter Emperor Heaven were all so excited they danced with excitement. Even though they knew the heavens were perilous and that this journey might be a journey with no return, they still had no regrets.
The little horse finds the path too narrow when it starts, the great roc spreads its wings and hates the sky below. Facing setbacks and challenges, young people always possess astonishing passion and persistence; no danger can stop them from exploring the future.
Because there was half a day, many disciples packed their bags in just half the time it takes to burn an incense stick, immediately stepped onto the teleportation array, left the academy, and returned to their families to bid their final farewells.
This farewell at this moment is likely the last farewell; to avoid regrets, they want to reunite with their families properly.
"This time, entering Emperor Heaven, I, Guo Ran, have a great chance to make a name for myself. This time, I absolutely cannot lose to Mo Nian." From the mountain peak where the Dragonblood Legion was stationed came Guo Ran's excited shout.
"Take it easy. Right now, you've only finished the saber, chest armor, and back armor. The helmet is still half-finished, and the rest haven't even been built yet." Xia Chen reminded Guo Ran from beside him.
During this time, Guo Ran had been busy forging weapons for everyone, wasting time, and only partially forged his armor.
"What are you afraid of? Now its power is completely under my control. Even without armor, unless you encounter a pervert like Wuhun, very few can break through my Dragon Blood Battle Body. Guo Ran patted his chest confidently.
Long Chen sat by the window of the small building, while Bai Shishi and Yu Qingxuan were packing their bags. The three of them had been chatting and laughing, but when they heard Guo Ran calling out, Long Chen called out toward the window:
"Guo Ran, I'm very curious. How did you convince Qianlong to give you all his power without reservation?"
When Guo Ran blocked a strike from the Saint King of the Life-Hunting Clan with his chest armor, unleashing a strike that unleashed the Sky Force, Long Chen was utterly shocked. This guy always managed to pull off something unbelievable.
"Hehe, because I know it too well. This guy is lazier than anyone. I've discussed it with him, and I won't easily put myself in a desperate situation.
Of its dragon blood power, ninety percent is given to me, and ten percent is sealed inside its body, so it can sleep peacefully.
If I encounter danger, it will be awakened. The ten percent of its sealed power will ignite the full strength of my armor, enough to help us escape this predicament.
So, right now, it's sound asleep deep within my soul. Guo Ran chuckled, his face full of pride.
"Does it really trust you that much?" You have to understand, the more you understand it, the more it knows you. I don't believe it's that easy to fool. Long Chen shook his head and said.
"Of course it's hard to fool them, so you can only rely on your strength, hahaha!" Guo Ran burst out laughing.
Long Chen was speechless. When did this kid learn to keep him in suspense? But after thinking it over, he realized Guo Ran must be hiding something. This kid didn't want to reveal it. Knowing Guo Ran well, Long Chen knew this guy must have quite a few trump cards.
Otherwise, with Qianlong's limited courage, he would never have handed his life over to Guo Ran so casually. It must have seen something in Guo Ran's hand that made it feel safe enough, so it felt safe and entrusted its power to Long Chen.
Long Chen chatted with Guo Ran and the others for a bit. When he turned to look at the room, he was speechless. The entire room had been emptied. Seeing Long Chen's speechless expression, Bai Shishi smiled and said,
"Sister Qingxuan said she was afraid you wouldn't get used to the Empress Emperor or Empress, so she took everything here with her. When you get there, I'll decorate a home exactly like this place."
At first, Bai Shishi smiled like a flower, but when she mentioned the last word, "home," a blush immediately appeared on her pretty face, and her eyes showed a hint of tenderness.
The word 'home' instantly touched the softest part of Long Chen's heart. Countless images flashed through his mind, but the warmest scene for him was the desolate and desolate courtyard within the Fengming Empire.
At that moment, Long Chen suddenly thought of Long Tianxiao and his wife, as well as Long Xiaoyu, and a deep longing welled up in his heart.
Long Chen had never dared to think about these things before, because he missed them so much. After all these years, he still didn't know how his parents and sister were doing.
"Lord Jingyuan!"
Guo Ran and the others were exclaiming enthusiastically, when suddenly a startled cry startled Long Chen and hurried out to greet him.
