As for individuals like the Ice Emperor who defy common logic, naturally, their cases cannot be considered ordinary, hence many are unaware of the Ice Emperor's feats in comprehending divine powers in the God Transformation Realm.

At the Huanxu Realm, within the Divine Return to Void, there is a certain chance to briefly comprehend the primordial essence of heaven and earth. It is precisely for this reason that, at this realm, there's a slim chance to grasp divine powers.

However, this chance is exceedingly small, and very few manage to achieve this, with only the most exceptional geniuses holding any hope of success.

Of course, should one consume treasures such as the mystic pills of the Qingyun Academy, which abide by the laws, it could significantly increase the corresponding chances, aiding those geniuses to successfully comprehend divine powers in the Huanxu Realm.

That's why the mystic pills governed by the laws have confirmed their worth and are coveted by countless proud geniuses and even the top powers of various domains.

Unfortunately, Qingyun Academy itself has sufficient strength to deter anyone from trying any mischief with it.

And only by joining the Qingyun Academy could the strongest and most outstanding among those geniuses be eligible to consume the mystic pills, which assist them in comprehending divine powers.

After all, even for a force like Qingyun Academy, mystic pills are not as plentiful as jelly beans to be handed out in any quantity.

"So that's how it is." Gu Chen nodded, no wonder Qingyun Academy was so popular—just the mystic pills alone were enough.

Not to mention the various heritages and treasures available within Azure Cloud Sky, the vast territory of Qingyun Academy.

But Gu Chen had a different purpose, which was the second fragment of the jade. He had to obtain it!

"Thank you for the information, brothers," Gu Chen expressed his gratitude and returned to his seat.

"It's nothing," the others shook their heads and then continued their discussion.

"Have you heard? Princess Xidie, the most beloved tenth princess of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, traveled millions of miles from the Spiritual Realm to the East Profound Region, only to be ambushed by the Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights and taken captive!"

"The Holy Brilliance Dynasty? Princess Xidie?" Gu Chen came to a realization; it turned out that the person he encountered upon his arrival in the East Profound Region ten days ago was the tenth princess of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty.

Gu Chen, of course, knew about the Holy Brilliance Dynasty—a colossal power that was no weaker than the Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty and might even be stronger.

Princess Xidie was the most doted upon child of the current ruler of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty. Unexpectedly, Gu Chen had inadvertently rescued her.

If Gu Chen had come forward that day, both Princess Xidie and the people of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty would have definitely not been stingy with their rewards.

But alas, considering his special identity, and because the methods he used did not match his level of cultivation, even if he had to do it all over again, he would still choose to walk away.

"Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights, it looks like I need to be more cautious in the future." Hearing their description of the formidable Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights, Gu Chen inwardly focused and decided to bury the token deep in his storage artifact for the time being.

This meticulously planned incident having been disrupted by the unexpected intervention of Gu Chen, one could imagine just how frustrated the chief of the Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights must be. Being one of the Great Powers, if he knew the truth, Gu Chen would once again face days of hiding and fleeing.

Thus, he chose not to reveal himself, preferring to proceed with a low profile.

"They say that after Princess Xidie was rescued, she has been searching for the person who helped her, even proclaiming a substantial reward to express her gratitude, and even just providing a clue would result in a handsome compensation, but sadly, that person has not shown up since that time," they discussed.

"That's the Holy Brilliance Dynasty we're talking about—not many people would dare claim that reward unless they're tired of living."

"Do you think Princess Xidie is so eager because she was saved by a hero and wishes to offer herself in marriage?" someone said with interest in a hushed tone.

News of Princess Xidie's arrival in the East Profound Region attracted a great many heroes in pursuit, with many local geniuses of the spiritual realm following suit. Upon learning that she had been abducted by the Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights, many were in a state of urgent distress.

This was an extremely rare opportunity to present oneself before Princess Xidie, so those prodigies and heroes were all vying to find her whereabouts. Little did they expect that she would appear at this time.

Therefore, many people were now discussing who it was that had rescued Princess Xidie, as they were all very curious.

"Give it a rest. The one in charge of the abduction, leading them was Chen Yan, ranked twelfth within the Devil Cloud Thirty-Six Knights, with a full cultivation in the Huanxu Realm. It's said there were also nine others in the Huanxu Realm, and twenty-seven in the God Transformation Realm. To confront so many cultivators, or to have the audacity, could it be a young person?"

"I've heard that too, apparently resolved by divine powers. Maybe it was some passing old monster. Princess Xidie is so young and beautiful, just over twenty years old, how could she possibly commit herself in marriage? She must have just wanted to express her gratitude in person."

Indeed, the incident of Princess Xidie's abduction by the Holy Brilliance Dynasty had caught the attention of countless in the East Profound Region during this period.

Princess Xidie had traveled billions of miles from the spiritual realm to the East Profound Region to join Qingyun Academy. Little did she expect to encounter the abduction, which enraged the sovereign of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty.

If it had not been for Princess Xidie's insistence, the sovereign of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty would have sent someone to escort her back to the spiritual realm long ago.

Naturally, this also reflected the extraordinary nature of Qingyun Academy.

"It is said that Chu Yue Ling, the sacred girl of Taoxu Road, whose power eclipses all under heaven and is a local colossal force of our East Profound Region, has a high chance of coming this time as Qingyun Academy opens." Suddenly, someone mentioned a name with which Gu Chen was all too familiar.

"Chu Yue Ling..." In an instant, distant memories surged, and in Gu Chen's mind appeared an image of an unparalleled woman in white, the saintly girl of Taoxu Road, Chu Yue Ling.

"Will she come too?" Gu Chen whispered, realizing that Taoxu Road was indeed in the East Profound Region.

"Zhen Yuan of Wojidao Gate, Bai Jingyuan of Cloud Heaven Palace, and Su Nan of Sumeru Buddhist Sect are said to be among those saintly figures to arrive."

"Every time Qingyun Academy opens, it gathers numerous prodigies and monsters, not less than those who dominate the regional golden list and can be honored in one realm. That's not surprising."

"But among our local forces in the East Profound Region, the saintly girl of Taoxu Road, Chu Yue Ling, can still take the lead. It's said that she is specially invited by Qingyun Academy, and there seems to be no one else with such treatment."

Because of Qingyun Academy, taverns everywhere were abuzz with discussion, and every table was heated with debate.

"Will they all come?" Gu Chen had not expected that this time, his old acquaintances would all appear here, preparing to enter Qingyun Academy to study.

Qingyun Academy, with its non-discriminatory education, welcomes even those with inheritances and powerful background patrons to join and gain learning opportunities.

And like this, it attracted countless prodigies and monsters from many realms, and even those top geniuses who made the golden list were willing to come here.

In the Gray Domain, Gu Chen faced only his enemies, and unexpectedly arriving in the East Profound Region, he never imagined he would encounter several of his acquaintances.

"From today onwards, the East Profound Region will be my new starting point, a new beginning." Gu Chen's eyes sparkled, equally determined to take a look at the so-called Qingyun Academy.

After all, the fragment of jade containing the strongest ancient legacy he had been ardently pursuing, which even the Ice Emperor of the past aeon yearned for, was very likely to be in Qingyun Academy.

"Heavenly Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, Jiuying Clan, in the not too distant future, once I return to the Gray Domain, I will surely make a personal visit!" Gu Chen spoke coldly, his eyes fierce.

At the same time, in this moment, Gu Chen's resolve for the path he was about to take had become extremely clear.
