Dark Phoenix Prince

Chapter 28: Arrive

Looking at the Holy Light clan's spiritual ship, Alu couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

The majestic aura emanating from that spiritual ship could be felt clear even around him.

Of course, a mere spiritual ship would not be able to emit such an aura. There must be some very powerful expert aboard that spiritual ship.

Alu didn't know how many younger generations the Sacred Light clan had sent, but it was clear that the way they had arrived was indeed somewhat filled with momentum.

"Is it because of their relationship with the lord of Sleeping Dragon City?" Alu wondered.

From Old Joz's story, it was clear that there was hostility between the lord of the Sleeping Dragon City and the Holy Light clan.

And the way the Sleeping Dragon City lord built such a large city in the Holy Light clan's territory, to those who knew their troubles, it did seem like an indirect challenge.

"Maybe they want to show their momentum." ALU thinks.

"But they are indeed worthy of being the strongest faction on this continent."

The reputation of the Holy Light clan was not only famous in the Holy Light continent, even in the thousand-island region where there were at least a thousand continents, the Holy Light clan was still in the top thirty.

Only the faction led by the ninth layer of the Nirvana Stage could be at that rank.

In reality, most of the continents in the thousand island region were only controlled by a faction led by someone with the cultivation of the eighth layer of the Nirvana stage.

Some of the smaller continents were only led by Zaden level experts.

....

As Alu continued to stare at the Holy Light clan's spiritual ship, it slowly disappeared from Alu's sight as it landed at a certain location in the middle of the city.

Everyone who was staring at the Holy Light clan spiritual ship immediately continued their activities after the spiritual ship disappeared.

Alu and the others also continued their journey into the city.

"Oh, since you guys wish to go to a branch of the Spiritual Academy, this old man can only accompany you all the way here. I'll be going around." Old Joz suddenly spoke as they entered the city.

Hearing Old Joz's words, Alu only nodded in response.

The branch premises of the Spiritual Academy only allow young people who wish to join the Spiritual Academy to enter. The elders accompanying them could only wait outside.

After Alu's nod, Old Joz casually walked the other way. And just moments later, he had disappeared with the crowd.

Alu then looked at Roux and Reva, who now looked fine.

They just stood silently behind Alu. Although the previous attack was a bit shocking, they didn't seem like they were going to ask anything.

When looking at them, Alu took out two robes from his storage ring.

"Use this, and hide your aura." Alu said, throwing the two robes at Roux and Reva.

Maybe the people from the Phoenix Kingdom didn't recognize the two, but it was different for the Sacred Wind Kingdom. With the matter that happened, if Prince Varog met them, there might be quite a stir.

ALU doesn't want any commotion before they enter the Holy Path.

Roux and Reva don't dare to refuse Alu's orders. After receiving the cloak, they directly used it and hid their aura afterwards.

Unless someone explicitly investigated them, even those who knew them couldn't even tell if it was them.

Apart from that, the robes that Alu gave also covered their body shape so that their gender was difficult to determine.

...

Led by Alu, they then walked towards the city center.

The city was vast with many magnificent buildings. Even Alu, whose personality is somewhat closed off, couldn't help but look left and right.

People with extraordinary auras can be found everywhere too.

Since it was time for the Spiritual Academy to accept new disciples, there were more people coming to the city, making the city appear even more lively.

Perhaps only those who can pass the holy path can join one of the five Spiritual Academies. Not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary royal heirs might not be able to do it. But even though it was very difficult, it still didn't stop many young people from trying their luck.

Of course, even if they couldn't enter one of the five Spiritual Academies, they could still join forces with other, weaker factions.

....

Given the size of the Sleeping Dragon city, if Alu wanted to get to the city center by foot, he might need a few days before arriving there.

Even if Alu flew at full speed, with his current strength, he would still need quite a bit of time.

Of course, for people with Cultivation at the True Spirituality stage or the Life and Death stage, hastily flying through this city was also an act of disrespect.

There are so many experts residing in Sleeping Dragon City. If they accidentally flew over the head of an all-powerful Nirvana expert and that Nirvana expert was unhappy, that Nirvana expert could have killed them with just a thought.

Maybe the city forbids fighting let alone killing, but everything in the end comes back to the strength of the individual. Those who are strong can do whatever they want.

Fortunately, Sleeping Dragon City had a city teleportation formation that connected many locations in the city.

Even though it is quite expensive to use it, it can make it easier for people to travel from one location to another.

After entering the city, Alu and the others headed straight for the city's teleportation formation to head to the downtown area.

Not long after, Alu and the others arrived at an area with majestic towering buildings.

Each of the buildings emitted a majestic aura that made Alu feel uncomfortable.

"Being weak is really unpleasant." Alu said to himself.

Although Alu could be considered an extraordinary genius, his current strength was still far too weak compared to experts who had cultivated for decades.

Alu always hated the feeling as if he was in the middle of a vast ocean, therefore, upon arriving at that place, Alu went straight to the location of the Spiritual Academy branch.

...

The reputation of the Spiritual Academy was certainly not small. Even in the middle of the Sleeping Dragon City, the place of their branch looked completely different.

At a certain location in the city center was a large piece of land with a very tall fort surrounding it.

When Alu arrived at the place, he found that there were already many young people with various auras gathered outside the fort.

They were currently gathered right outside the fort's entrance, forming quite a long queue.

Right at the entrance, there were two guards standing up.

They don't actually look like guards.

Their appearance looked like they were in their twenties and the two of them were also wearing clothes with special emblems.

But what attracts the most attention is their aura. It is the aura of the Nirvana stage.

Perhaps in the Sleeping Dragon City could easily find someone with the Nirvana stage aura, but Nirvana stage as young as them, was something that was extremely rare.

With one glance, Alu could immediately conclude that these two must be disciples of the Spiritual Academy.

The two people were currently examining the young people who wanted to enter the fortress.

Those with Life and Death stage cultivation can enter right away, but those who are still at the True Spiritual stage will be examined by them first.

According to what Alu knew, in order to be admitted, one had to have at least about one thousand two hundred spiritual sources.

Of course, just looking at it from a spiritual source was still not sufficient to determine a person's true strength, therefore, those who were examined would undergo some strength tests first.

After they pass the test, only then are they allowed to enter.

When someone is allowed to enter, it means they can enter the holy path.

...

After watching for a while, Alu then led Roux and Reva to join the queue.

Between the queues, Alu only saw a few people who had Life and Death stage cultivation.

Perhaps the Life and Death stage was a stage that all so called geniuses would go through, but to reach that stage at the age of fifteen was still quite a difficult thing.

Most of those who can do so also depend on certain resources. If it weren't for the opening of the holy path, they might have preferred to hold on to their cultivation even longer to further refine their foundations.

...

About an hour or so later, Alu's group finally arrived at the front row of the queue.
