Chapter 718: Chapter 663: Shocking News

Heroic Trial Ground!

Indeed, another identity of Stealing Heaven Plain.

Yes, this place is also the training ground for the young generation of talents from Dragon Phoenix Academy.

It is precisely because this place is rife with bandits and the Academy does not intend to protect them, that countless merchants on the trade routes are often ambushed and robbed by highwaymen. Consequently, mercenary groups have emerged to offer protection and clash with these thieves.

The talents recruited by Dragon Phoenix Academy, if needed, must enter Stealing Heaven Plain to temper themselves by escorting the trade routes, confronting the bandits in life and death struggles, and are even tasked with eradicating the bandits in certain areas.

It’s worth mentioning that in Stealing Heaven Plain, nobody cares about your identity, even the talents of Dragon Phoenix Academy are killed without exception. And the Academy simply doesn’t care, they only send you to train and forge strength.

Although each training session almost always results in the death of a batch of outstanding young talents, few forces dare to hold the Academy accountable for the deaths of their talents. It is not just because Dragon Phoenix Academy fears nothing, but also the Emperor and the Royal Family are unafraid; more importantly, all the supreme powerhouses that have come out of the Academy throughout the ages have gone through such trials.

In the words of Dragon Phoenix Academy, if you can’t even handle this trial, what right do you have to be a member of the Academy?

What right do you have to compete for the path of the Human Emperor?

All these prove that the methods of Dragon Phoenix Academy are cruel but effective, honing generations of supreme individuals.

In the current grand era, there are even supreme figures from the Ancient Ancestor Great Power of Supreme Sacred Lands who have emerged from Dragon Phoenix Academy.

Ye Chen, after leaving the Academy, appeared directly in this legendary Heroic Trial Ground.

Looking out at this vast and notorious Stealing Heaven Plain, somewhat reminiscent of the days in Black Sky Plain, he couldn’t help but miss the days he met Yaya and Wang Ming.

It’s just that he, who was once merely at the Demigod Peak, has now once again become a supreme talent of the Heroic Level.

Stealing Heaven Plain, vast and immaculate, stretches tens of millions of miles. Within it also stand majestic ancient cities that eternally endure on this ancient land.

Moreover, these ancient cities were not built by the bandits but are derived from some small ancient cities from the Mythical Era, bearing records of ancient relics of that time.

Heroic Trial Ground, while being a clash between escorting caravans and various bandits, is also a treasure trove in itself, harboring many secret relics and even burial sites of Ancient Great Powers. There have also been huge carcasses of Starry Sky Giant Beasts that fell during the Mythical Era, encompassing numerous relics.

If one could acquire them, the benefits would be boundless, and one might even gain insights into the cultivational practices of cultivators from the Mythical Era, greatly benefiting one’s own cultivation.

Ye Chen came to Stealing Heaven Plain after hearing of such opportunities.

However, Ye Chen did not immediately step into Stealing Heaven Plain but entered a nearby town first, gathering intelligence to understand some relevant information and not to search blindly.

Eastern Earth City is a relatively important city that connects the peace zone with Stealing Heaven Plain, bustling with commerce and information, attracting many strong individuals to station there.

Ye Chen walked straight into Eastern Earth City.

The city bustled with people coming and going, shoulder to shoulder, a scene of prosperity and splendor. There were not only cultivators but also many ordinary civilians. Due to Dragon Phoenix Academy, these civilians felt quite safe as generally, no one dared to cause trouble or oppose the Academy.

After wandering through the city for a while, Ye Chen directly headed to a luxuriously decorated hall located in the middle of a busy main street.

Inside was a golden and dazzling splendor, grand and solemn, known as the Heavenly God Palace. It was the very place for the auctions, held in the days of the Heavenly Saint City, within the Treasure Pavilion of the Heavenly God Palace.

The Heavenly God Palace had a vast influence and managed many businesses throughout Ten Thousand Domains. It wasn’t just an auction house; its intelligence-gathering capability was amongst the top in the world.

The information gathered by the Heavenly God Palace was sold to various powerhouses at an extremely high price. Naturally, most of this information was true, with very high credibility, renowned throughout the lands.

Heavenly Gate had a high ability to collect information, but the Heavenly God Palace was somewhat better.

Because Heavenly Gate only gathered useful information, while the Heavenly God Palace collected almost all information, whether it was major events like the competition for power among the talents of Ten Thousand Realms on the Human Emperor’s path, the various matters of major forces, or as minor as the trivial details of a cultivator’s life. As long as one could pay the price, corresponding information could be obtained.

It could be said, as long as you had enough wealth, the Heavenly God Palace could provide any information.

"Respected sir, welcome to the Heavenly God Palace," greeted a beautiful palace maid wearing court attire with a professionally sweet smile, as she stood in front of the grandiose entrance.

As she bowed a perfect ninety degrees, the wonderful creamy white jade on her chest threatened to slip out, a stunning sight that captivated the eyes and stirred the heart, with impeccable manners.

"To enter the Heavenly God Palace, there’s a fee of fifty jin of Spirit Stones," the palace maid said again.

Qian Yue nodded in acknowledgment. Though the price was steep, its purpose was to prevent some people from entering and causing trouble.

With a flip of his hand, he produced a fist-sized spirit stone and handed it to the palace maid.

The maid accepted it with both hands, weighed it briefly, and it was indeed exactly fifty jin. She smiled sweetly, "Sir, please follow me—"

Then, the palace maid led Ye Chen into the resplendent information hall within the palace, where numerous cultivators from various places had already gathered. Despite the crowd, the Heavenly God Palace had laid out numerous banquet tables with exquisite dishes and fine wines for the guests to enjoy while waiting, all free of charge.

"Respected sir, please take a seat and enjoy the refreshments provided by the Heavenly God Palace. The crystal screen displays various related pieces of information and prices. If you confirm your selection, you can enter a private room to finalize the purchase," the palace maid said with a sweet smile before promptly leaving, a pleasant fragrance lingering in her wake.

Ye Chen was quite satisfied with the service attitude. It was no wonder the Heavenly God Palace was renowned throughout the world. Naturally, his visit was not only to enjoy the services, nor was he in a hurry to scrutinize the various pieces of information on the crystal screen, but instead, he settled at one of the banquet tables alone, enjoying the dishes and fine wine while avidly listening to gather information from his surroundings.

In this information hall, there were also many cultivators who were not there to buy information but specifically to exchange various pieces of intelligence, each taking what they needed.

The Heavenly God Palace had never refused this; it was clear that the bustling state of the intelligence treasure house attracted even more cultivators, and just the entrance fee alone was a significant profit for the Heavenly God Palace.

"Did you know? On Stealing Heaven Plain, there seems to be a burial ground of a supreme powerhouse from myths, supposedly concerning the secrets of a Mythical True Dragon."

Ye Chen had not even settled down when he overheard this startling and shocking information.
