Chapter 717: Chapter 662 Stealing Heaven Plain

The departure of the Combat Saint King was destined to fill the high ranks of the Dragon Phoenix Academy with regret.

After all, everyone could see the potential of the Combat Saint King. He was bound to be the strongest and most powerful competitor on the path to becoming Human Emperor, capable of overpowering all the Heavenly talents and achieving the status of Supreme Emperor. If not, he would at least be a Great Power of his era, or even an Invincible King.

That such a Supreme Genius had been driven away was incredibly disheartening, as one can imagine.

Many talents of Ten Thousand Realms within the Dragon Phoenix Academy couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of regret. They had missed the chance to cultivate in the same academy as the legendary Combat Saint King, to witness his increasingly brilliant splendor, to learn from him—all of which was a significant loss.

After all, if the Combat Saint King indeed became the Human Emperor in the future, those who had cultivated with him in the academy would feel honored.

Naturally, some mourned his departure, while others reveled in his misfortune.

People like the Heavenly Eagle King, Zhao Wudao, and the Flame Dragon King, who had feuded with him in the past, cherished this outcome.

In the deepest parts of the academy, various renowned Immortal True Kings felt either regret, profound thoughts, or a calm stillness, their emotions hard to discern.

However, there was no doubt that the departure of the Combat Saint King was also a loss for them, as he was the only one among the present-day Supreme Genius at the Ten-layered Heaven Level. Engaging with him could have greatly benefited their mastery of the Supreme Method.

Yaya and Ruoxi, upon hearing all this news, immediately wanted to dash out and sever ties with the Dragon Phoenix Academy and leave the foremost Cultivation Academy of the Ten Thousand Realms to follow in the footsteps of Ye Chen.

But the high ranks of the Dragon Phoenix Academy promptly intervened to prevent the two women from leaving, persuading them kindly, a courtesy not usually extended to other talented individuals.

After all, even if the various talents of Ten Thousand Realms were kings, they might be shining new stars in a Great Domain, but to the Ten Thousand Domain Mansion, which had witnessed countless exceptional talents since time immemorial, they were insignificant.

Put simply, one more or one less did not matter.

However, it was different for the two women.

Fairy Xi, Ruoxi, though she had not yet reincarnated, had a serene, immortal-like, and pure state of mind. Coming from the Heavenly Gate, it was clear to everyone that she was an Immortal Seed, filled with potential.

And Supreme Fengwu wanted to personally take her under her wing to cultivate, not as a servant, but with the affection and care typically shown to a sister.

Everything indicated the importance of Fairy Xi.

The other woman, Yaya, though well-hidden, could not conceal her identity from the Dragon Phoenix Academy, which was a powerful force capable of discerning that she was the legendary World Tree.

This being was one of the greatest creatures between heaven and earth, which, at its peak, could give rise to various Great Worlds, stabilize the vast universe, and contend with Emperors and Kings, the highest existences.

It is said that during the Mythical Era’s great destruction, this universe was saved from complete annihilation largely due to a fully grown World Tree, which played a crucial role in preventing the universe from collapsing entirely. This allowed the subsequent eons to slowly take shape and recover.

The World Tree had only appeared during the Mythical Era, and since this era, it had not truly been seen.

Yet, unexpectedly, it had appeared in this era and was even more valued than the True King talents because, whether she competed for the Human Emperor’s throne or not, her ultimate development was bound to challenge the highest existences like Emperors and Kings and would not be much weaker than a Supreme Emperor.

Thus, the Dragon Phoenix Academy placed immense importance on Yaya and was decidedly unwilling to let her leave. If not for her identity involving the Taichu Ancestor and the Heavenly Gate, the Dragon Phoenix Academy would have gone to any lengths to keep her there.

Such heavenly beings naturally should be befriended if possible, and if not, they must not be offended at any cost.

Moreover, the high-level officials stepped forward to make promises, and figures like the Taichu Female Saint from the Ancient Divine Domain came forward to persuade them. Only then did the two women reluctantly agree to stay, yet they were still indignant.

Eventually, after promising them many important treasures and training locations, countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and after Wang Kai and others were sentenced to reflect for five hundred years in Sin Valley, they finally sighed in relief and agreed to stay.

However, the Dragon Phoenix Academy found Combat Saint King to be an immense headache, as the Combat Saint King, being a Supreme Genius, held considerable pride. Being refused entry by the guards would inevitably enrage him, and he would never enter the Dragon Phoenix Academy again; they could only continue to appease him.

After Ye Chen decisively left the Dragon Phoenix Academy, he did not leave the Dragon Phoenix State or even travel more than ten thousand miles away from the Dragon Phoenix Academy; he simply made his way to a location ten thousand miles from the Academy.

Since Yaya, Ruoxi, and the Taichu Female Saint, among other important figures were all in the academy and with the Ancient Divine Domain being accessible only through the vital Ancient Road controlled by the Dragon Phoenix Academy, how could he leave?

His departure was only temporary; the important thing was to find a way through the Ancient Road controlled by the Dragon Phoenix Academy to enter the mysterious Ancient Divine Domain.

The Emperor and Queen’s legacy in that place greatly intrigued him, and wasn’t there a Holy Corpse from the Combat Saint lineage in the Dragon Phoenix Academy?

It was rumored to be the remnant of a Supreme Power Combat Saint from the Ancient Era — at the very least, a once Supreme Power.

In this regard, Ye Chen was very interested.

Because of its proximity to the Dragon Phoenix Academy, the number one Cultivation Academy in the Ten Thousand Domains, no capital cities or powers were allowed to be established within ten thousand miles to maintain the Academy’s serene environment.

But beyond ten thousand miles, the area flourished unusually with towns after towns rising continuously, forming a bustling habitation zone that appeared many times more prosperous than many Great Domain main cities.

There were all kinds of businesses, large and small infinite powers stationed here, creating a peaceful zone overseen and protected by the Dragon Phoenix Academy. Who would dare cause trouble?

Even the Immortal Sacred Land would not dare to behave recklessly in this place.

As Wang Kai had said, in the Dragon Phoenix Academy, dragons must coil and tigers must crouch.

However, beyond this region was a vast, boundless plain that spanned nearly ten million miles in circumference, comparable to the Heavenly Ruins, and no longer under the protection of the Dragon Phoenix Academy.

Moreover, because the peaceful zone had a booming commercial business, countless commercial routes emerged on the plains, continuously operating trade with the neighboring countries and driving prosperity everywhere.

Generally speaking, the profits from such trade were also very high, with businesses on the plains typically involving high-profit ventures.

Naturally, this also attracted countless bandits who roamed the vast plains like another Stealing Heaven Plain, but even more rife with bandits, hence it also bore a name that resounded throughout the Ten Thousand Domains—

Stealing Heaven Plain!

This place was truly notorious with countless bandits present, specializing in robbery and committing all kinds of evil. Even if a Divine Ship from the Immortal Sacred Land were to arrive, these bandits would still dare to rob it.

And because this was the center of the Ten Thousand Domains, each bandit was incredibly powerful, with very few real weaklings.

However, Stealing Heaven Plain also had another resonant name — Heroic Trial Ground!
