Chapter 224: Chapter 225: Beimang Holy Tablet (4th Update) (Please Favorite, Reward, and Recommend)

Martial Artists in the life-and-death realm were a rarity, feared to be nonexistent in the entire victorious martial realm. A martial artist of the life-and-death realm was powerful enough to establish a kingdom and become the ruler of that kingdom.

Emperor Fertility, as guessed by Chu Fengmian, was likely once a martial artist of the life-and-death realm.

Such a phantom shadow possessed power comparable to a saint; only a powerful being from the life-and-death realm could achieve this.

It was unexpected that Saint Xuanbei had already reached the pinnacle of sainthood and was about to cross the great life-and-death ordeal, no wonder he hurriedly left.

The life-and-death great ordeal was an absolutely dangerous trial; surviving meant life, failing meant death.

The sudden arrival of the life-and-death ordeal explained why Saint Xuanbei had to leave.

To cross the life-and-death ordeal, one needed not only various preparations but also to find an open space.

The force of the life-and-death ordeal could affect an area within a hundred miles, destroying all living beings within it. Had Saint Xuanbei stayed at the Victorious Martial Academy, the entire academy would have been affected.

Thus, he naturally had to choose to leave.

"Young Master actually knows about the life-and-death ordeal?"

Hearing Chu Fengmian’s monologue, Old Chen was also surprised.

It was Saint Xuanbei who had told him about the life-and-death ordeal; he himself had no prior knowledge of it, and now Chu Fengmian suddenly speaking of it was quite astonishing.

"I have read many ancient texts before, so I know a little about it."

Chu Fengmian casually remarked.

He had forgotten that such life-and-death ordeals, below the level of saints, were unknown to most martial artists. Chu Fengmian, with his memories from a past life, naturally knew about these matters.

"What exactly is the item left by the Master that the Chu family so desperately wants to obtain?"

Chu Fengmian asked aloud.

The Chu family boldly intruding into the North Hall indicated that the treasure left by Saint Xuanbei was definitely something the Chu family intensely coveted.

After all, even though Saint Xuanbei was not present, the North Hall continued to exist. Being one of the mouths of the Victorious Martial Academy, the Chu family, despite their overarching reach, would now be a topic of disdain if they acted too rashly.

The Chu family’s willingness to go to such lengths to seize the item definitely meant it was extremely precious.

"The item left by the master was actually prepared for the Young Master."

Old Chen looked at Chu Fengmian and said with relief.

"This item, originally, I was waiting for the Young Master to grow up before giving it to him, but it seems that it can now be given to the Young Master ahead of time."

From the recent display, Chu Fengmian’s strength had seemingly surpassed that of Old Chen, and possessing such strength,

handing it to Chu Fengmian now would be much safer than keeping it with him.

"Here is the item the master left for the Young Master."

Old Chen suddenly took out a wooden plaque from his spatial ring and handed it to Chu Fengmian.

The wooden plaque looked exceptionally ordinary, with only a few lines carved on it, not knowing what they represented.

"What is this?"

Chu Fengmian took a glance at the wooden plaque and couldn’t see anything particularly precious about it; its material was ironwood, extremely hard but not valuable.

The Chu family was fighting over such a wooden plaque.

Seeing Chu Fengmian’s surprised expression, Old Chen chuckled and spoke.

"The wooden plaque itself is not precious; its value lies in what it represents."

"This wooden plaque is actually an identity card for Beimang Academy, the largest sect in the Northern Domain. Anyone possessing this identity card can directly join Beimang Academy and become an Inner Sect Disciple."

"What? This is the Beimang Holy Plaque?"

Upon hearing the words Beimang Academy, Chu Fengmian immediately understood what this wooden plaque was.

Now, having been reborn and inherited many memories, Chu Fengmian naturally knew that the current area of the Victorious Martial Academy was within the Northern Domain of the Nine Domains.

But the Victorious Martial Academy was just a remote area within the Northern Domain.

Among all the sects there, Beimang Academy, though not on par with the seven great sects, was still a top-tier force throughout the Nine Domains.

This wooden plaque was known as the highly sought-after Beimang Holy Plaque. It was said that anyone who obtained it could directly join Beimang Academy and become one of its Inner Sect Disciples.

An Inner Sect Disciple of Beimang Academy, even in the Victorious Martial Realm, where the Dean of the Victorious Martial Academy would have to treat them with great respect, afraid to show any negligence, their status was higher than some monarchs of remote realms.

Such a Beimang Holy Plaque was originally only granted to elders who had made significant contributions to Beimang Academy but had spread outside, sought after by countless people.

Being able to join Beimang Academy and instantly become an Inner Sect Disciple was indeed a great opportunity.

Such a Beimang Holy Plaque, within the Northern Domain, was likely worth hundreds of millions of Qi Gathering Pills, even up to a billion.

Such a treasure was definitely more precious than any earth-grade Spiritual Artifact.

"No wonder the Chu family would come to seize it so aggressively; it’s the Beimang Holy Plaque!"

Chu Fengmian’s doubts were instantly resolved.

The Beimang Holy Plaque was indeed worth the Chu family’s fervent pursuit; the countless families in the Victorious Martial Academy, fighting over the academy’s resources, were all desperate to seize it.

The value of this one Beimang Holy Plaque was almost equivalent to half of the Victorious Martial Academy; obtaining it would be even more beneficial than securing the position of the Dean of the Victorious Martial Academy.

The Victorious Martial Academy, after all, was just a small force in a remote area, while Beimang Academy ranked among the superpowers in the entire Nine Domains, second only to the seven great sects.

The difference between the two was vast.

"Why does the master have a Beimang Holy Plaque?"

Chu Fengmian said in disbelief.

The Beimang Holy Plaque, normally only in the possession of some elders or Supreme Elders of Beimang Academy, was very rarely distributed; in the entire Northern Domain, there had been fewer than ten known appearances.

The number ten might seem large, but since Beimang Academy’s rise, it had been at least ten thousand years.

On average, a Beimang Holy Plaque would appear in the Northern Domain once every thousand years. How could Saint Xuanbei, merely a saint of the Victorious Martial Academy, have such a treasure?

Old Chen hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"As for the master’s identity, I also do not know, only aware that the master has some connections with Beimang Academy."

"This Beimang Holy Plaque is left for the Young Master by the master, so please ensure it is not taken by anyone else; otherwise, even a thousand deaths would not be enough for me to atone for my failure."
