The East Profound Region is one of the more renowned domains among the 3,600 domains of the Upper Realm, ranking quite high among the numerous domains.

In terms of prosperity, it far exceeds the Gray Domain where Gu Chen was located before, with no lack of powerful forces and alien tribes.

At the same time, the distance between the East Profound Region and the Gray Domain is extremely vast, with more than a dozen domains separating them.

Gu Chen had not expected that by twisting the void with Yu Ding, he would actually teleport himself to such a place.

The sufficient remoteness from the Gray Domain also proved a certain level of safety, making it not so easy for the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty and the Jiuying Clan to capture Gu Chen.

At this moment, when Gu Chen came to a tavern in the East Profound Region and heard some rumors about Qingyun Academy, he was immediately shocked.

Because, not long before, he had found clues about the next fragment of the jade in the secret realm, which was in Azure Cloud Sky!

And Azure Cloud Sky, along with the Qingyun Academy he had just heard about, seemed likely to be connected.

This couldn't help but excite Gu Chen.

His original plan was to look for the clues about the second jade fragment — he had not expected to stumble upon a lead in the East Profound Region.

Without this accident, relying on his own search, heaven knows how long it would have taken to gather such information.

Of course, with a cautious attitude to avoid a false alarm, Gu Chen still inserted a query.

"Gentlemen, I heard you mention Qingyun Academy just now; I too am quite interested in Qingyun Academy. Could you introduce me to it?"

Gu Chen approached the group and surreptitiously offered a significant number of spirit stones along with a good attitude and a respectful salute, which softened the wary looks on the faces of the middle-aged group at the table.

"It seems, little brother, you also aspire to join Qingyun Academy?" a middle-aged man asked, taking a sip of his wine.

"Indeed, I am somewhat interested," replied Gu Chen, nodding slightly without betraying his emotions.

Qingyun Academy had a far-reaching reputation, opening once every ten thousand years. Every time it opened its doors for enrollment, it attracted numerous geniuses and monsters from not only the East Profound Region but also other domains.

Therefore, there were actually many people like Gu Chen who were interested in Qingyun Academy.

"If that's the case, then you've asked the right people, little brother. We are all natives of the Human Clan from the East Profound Region, and we know far more about Qingyun Academy than most," the middle-aged man said with a sense of pride.

Since Gu Chen had shown such "insight," they were naturally not stingy. After all, these were just common knowledge questions, and they gave Gu Chen an overview of Qingyun Academy.

When Gu Chen inquired about the background of Qingyun Academy, one person said, "It is said that Qingyun Academy originated from a certain power of the previous great era, ranking quite high at that time. But later, when that part of the world collapsed, the surviving Great Powers established Qingyun Academy in the East Profound Region."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen's spirits soared, and he hastily inquired, "May I ask elder brother, from which power of the previous great era did Qingyun Academy originate?"

Upon hearing the question, the man's brow furrowed slightly. The history of Qingyun Academy was so ancient that he found it difficult to remember certain details.

Then, a middle-aged man drinking beside him added, "It was a place called Azure Cloud Sky."

"Just as I thought!"

At the mention of Azure Cloud Sky, Gu Chen knew he hadn't erred; his excitement surged, but he managed to keep it well concealed.

"Qingyun Academy, stemming from the powerful force of Azure Cloud Sky in the last great era, was created by the consolidating survivors who brought together all their resources in the East Profound Region after their world's demise."

The middle-aged man continued, "You must know, Azure Cloud Sky ranked quite high among the manifold domains of the heavens in the last great era, having given rise to many supreme beings, even in the highest echelons of the Great Domains. Although it later perished, all the remaining legacies were integrated, encased within Qingyun Academy. This is precisely why Qingyun Academy's reputation is so immense, spreading across at least ten domains. Each time it opens, it attracts countless geniuses and monsters."

"Furthermore, young man, do you know what the most famous treasure within Qingyun Academy is?" the middle-aged man asked with a smile.

"What is it?" Gu Chen grew curious. Could it be that jade fragment?

The middle-aged man didn't keep him in suspense and said straight out, "The Celestial Pills of Law."

"Celestial Pills of Law?" Gu Chen looked stunned.

Then someone chimed in to explain, "The Celestial Pills of Law contain the essence of heaven and earth, the power of laws. Once taken, cultivators of any realm increase their comprehension of laws considerably. Do you grasp what this implies?"

Without waiting for Gu Chen to respond, the person continued, overtly thrilled, "This means that if you consume a Celestial Pill of Law, the probability, or the chance of success, for comprehending divine abilities will significantly increase!"

"That's the wonder of the Celestial Pills of Law, and why it's the most renowned treasure within Qingyun Academy, coveted by countless geniuses and monsters. After all, who wouldn't want to understand divine abilities ahead of time?!"

As these words were spoken, the others around the table all nodded enviously.

After all, that was divine ability, the exclusive domain of the Heaven-reaching Great Powers and Lord-level characters, and even for the most talented and monstrous individuals, only a faint hope of comprehension existed in the Huanxu Realm.
