Chapter 462: Chapter 463: The Sacred Mountain (4th Update) (Please Subscribe!!!)

Beimang Academy was no ordinary place like the smaller dominions of the Qin Emperor’s Kingdom or Wu Victory Kingdom; it was a gathering place for true talent.

In the vast expanse of Beimang Academy, every Outer Sect Disciple had to stand out from hundreds of others through an assessment in order to be accepted.

It could be said that each disciple, cast into the outside world, would be considered a prodigy, a target of contention among the major powers and sects.

The competition here was fierce, and Chu Fengmian was currently just an Outer Sect Disciple, with Inner Sect Disciples, Seed Disciples, and even the most mysterious Core Disciples above him.

Some of the Seed Disciples’ strength was enough to contend with Martial Artists in the realm of life and death, and their status was even approaching that of some elders.

As for the Core Disciples, each was a colossus in their own right. Within the academy, their status likely exceeded that of many elders.

With Chu Fengmian’s current strength, he was still far from being able to contend with them.

Chu Fengmian needed to increase his own strength if he was to truly stand against these significant figures. Without strength, he would sooner or later be crushed by others.

Over the course of two days, Chu Fengmian sat motionless in his cave dwelling, wholly engaged in slow cultivation.

Chu Fengmian’s current realm had reached a bottleneck, and his strength could no longer be improved.

What Chu Fengmian needed to do now was to comprehend the laws of space. Having absorbed the essence of countless saints’ blood, his understanding of the laws was likely so advanced he could break through at any moment.

But Chu Fengmian couldn’t rush his breakthrough now.

Because he felt that with his aptitude, he was already at the level to contend with life and death realm strongmen in his current Controlling Wind realm. Chu Fengmian’s aptitude was indeed a rare sight throughout the Nine Domains.

With such talent, breaking through would be extremely difficult. Moving from the Controlling Wind realm to the Divine Power realm represented a qualitative leap in strength.

Ordinary Controlling Wind realm Martial Artists, at the moment of breaking into the Divine Power realm, would need to consume vast amounts of Spiritual Power.

And what Chu Fengmian needed to expend was thousands, tens of thousands of times more. If he made a rash breakthrough now, he might fail outright.

After all, the higher the aptitude, the harder the breakthrough. Therefore, Chu Fengmian must make thorough preparations before he could proceed. Everything happening now was in preparation.

Now that Chu Fengmian had acquired the Heavenly Essence Elixir, he had gained a bit of assistance, but it still wasn’t enough.

"If I could cultivate in the cave dwellings on the Holy Mountain, I could borrow the power of the Spiritual Spring to leap forward into the realm of life and death,"

Chu Fengmian thought to himself.

The Holy Mountain was the range closest to the Spiritual Spring, a range that belonged to no disciples.

It was a separate part, and within Beimang Academy, as long as one had enough Merit Points, one could exchange for a chance to cultivate on the Holy Mountain.

Many disciples in Beimang Academy chose to accumulate Merit Points for the chance to cultivate on the Holy Mountain for their breakthroughs. Chu Fengmian’s goal was the same.

"According to what Tubatu Ding said, cultivating on this Holy Mountain takes at least ten thousand Contribution Points. It seems I must find a way to start accumulating some Contribution Points,"

Chu Fengmian thought to himself.

Within Beimang Academy, the simplest way to accumulate Contribution Points was to accept missions from the sect, complete those missions, and earn Contribution Points in return.

"I must wait a few days, at least until I complete the entrance mission, then I can freely take on other tasks,"

Chu Fengmian murmured in a low voice.

All Outer Sect Disciples entering Beimang Academy were required to complete a mission – a mandate from the academy that could not be refused, designed to test the disciples’ loyalty.

Only after completing this task did one truly join Beimang Academy, and only then could one enjoy the freedom of movement.

Chu Fengmian knew he had to wait a few more days. His current anxiety wouldn’t hasten anything.

"Once I save up enough Contribution Points, I can go to the Saint Mountain Cave Abode to cultivate, and then I will be able to break through to the Divine Power Realm. At that time, I will truly soar to the heavens."

Chu Fengmian was filled with anticipation for the Divine Power Realm.

Beneath the saints, all are as ants, this saying heralded the stark difference between the Divine Power Realm and the Wind Regulating Realm; although there was only one realm of separation, it was like a chasm between heaven and earth, impossible to cross.

With the talent of Chu Fengmian, once he truly stepped into the Divine Power Realm, he would indeed soar to the heavens and transform from a carp into a dragon.

As Chu Fengmian was deep in thought, outside his cave abode, seven figures suddenly descended, arriving at the periphery of Chu Fengmian’s dwelling.

This group, all dressed in the attire of Outer Sect Disciples, bore the large characters "Wind and Cloud" on their shoulders, revealing their identity.

The sudden disturbance drew the attention of many nearby martial artists, who all stuck their heads out to observe, eager to see what was happening.

As they caught sight of the "Wind and Cloud" on the shoulders of these seven people, their expressions changed dramatically, one by one.

"People from the Wind and Cloud Society!"

"As expected, the members of the Wind and Cloud Society won’t let things rest."

The characters "Wind and Cloud" above exposed the identity of these people; Chu Fengmian had injured Niu Feng and Ma Yun, and had directly insulted Wu Fengyun.

Indeed, the people from the Wind and Cloud Society had come.

"Elder Brother Fang, this is the kid’s cave abode, the one who injured us and even insulted Elder Brother Wu," said two of the seven who were Niu Feng and Ma Yun.

Niu Feng was the one pointing at Chu Fengmian’s dwelling, obsequiously speaking to Elder Brother Fang at his side.

"He’s inside the cave abode right now."

The leading Elder Brother Fang, upon hearing Niu Feng’s words, glanced towards the cave abode and immediately saw Chu Fengmian. After sizing up Chu Fengmian’s realm, a look of disdain appeared on his face.

"You two pieces of trash were actually defeated by a Wind Regulating Realm ant; you’re utterly unworthy of being members of our Wind and Cloud Society. As of today, you two are expelled from the Wind and Cloud Society."

"Yes, yes," Niu Feng and Ma Yun hastily agreed, for they were now cripples, without the strength to resist expulsion from the Wind and Cloud Society.

"I’m not concerned about what happens to us two, but for this person to dare insult Elder Brother Wu, it’s simply wildly arrogant and immensely wicked; he must be punished," Niu Feng said, tears streaming down his face, the epitome of loyalty.

Already reduced to a cripple and devoid of any hope, he did not wish for Chu Fengmian to get off easily; he had to make Chu Fengmian become a cripple as well.

That was why he had summoned the members of the Wind and Cloud Society, all to deal with Chu Fengmian.

"This brat even dared to insult Elder Brother Wu; he’s really courting death. A mere newcomer daring to challenge the dignity of our Wind and Cloud Society! Utterly outrageous!" Elder Brother Fang said coldly.

"If we don’t teach him a lesson today, how can our Wind and Cloud Society continue to stand in the Outer Sect."
