Chapter 422: The Empress’ Questions!

North Mystic Heaven, Stellarsky Nation.

There was a White Cloud Mountain in this country, and on it was a sect called the Mystic Cloud Sect.

At this moment, a handsome young man of sixteen to seventeen years old wearing a grayish-brown tattered robe came to the stone tablet of the Mystic Cloud Sect.

Just as he was about to take a step forward, several fierce auras blocked him.

A few disciples of the Mystic Cloud Sect asked warily, “Who are you?”

Yi Chen cupped his hands. “My name is Yi Chen. I came to your sect to see your lady.”

Yi Chen?

When the Mystic Cloud Sect disciples heard this name, they couldn’t help but reveal ferocious expressions.

The sect master had already given an order to forbid Yi Chen from approaching the Mystic Cloud Sect, much less seeing the sect’s lady.

“Scram!”

“Our lady doesn’t know a lowly person like you!”

Yi Chen suppressed his anger and cupped his hands. “I indeed have something important to say to Rui’er. Please make things easy for me!”

The disciples of the Mystic Cloud Sect were even more angry when they heard this and berated,

“How can a lowly person like you call her by her maiden name?”

“I’ll give you three seconds to scram, or I’ll break your legs and throw you down the mountain!”

Seeing that the disciples of the Mystic Cloud Sect were all fierce and malicious, Yi Chen couldn’t help but clench his fists.

His only goal in coming to the Mystic Cloud Sect this time was to see the daughter of the Mystic Cloud Sect’s Sect Master, Yao Rui.

He wanted to tell Yao Rui that he was about to do something very important.

As long as this matter succeeded, he would be able to become famous in the kingdom and throw Yao Rui the grandest wedding.

However, it seemed that the people of the Mystic Cloud Sect had a prejudice against him. It could even be said that they were very hostile.

“If I can’t see Rui’er, what I did today will be meaningless!”

With this in mind, Yi Chen secretly circulated his true essence, and a faint sharp sword intent lingered around his body.

At this moment, an incomparably thick aura descended from the sky.

Yi Chen felt his head tingle as a terrifying pressure pressed down on him.

Yi Chen’s legs went limp and he knelt down.

A dignified man in green clothes landed from the sky.

He was the Sect Master of the Mystic Cloud Sect, Yao Tianrong.

Ever since he found out that his daughter, Yao Rui, was dating Yi Chen, he had been fuming with anger.

Not only had he grounded Yao Rui, but he was also filled with hostility towards Yi Chen.

So he looked down at Yi Chen.

“At your age, you haven’t stepped into the Mystic Realm yet. You’re simply trash among trash!”

“Although my daughter is blind, she’s the daughter of a sect master and is very beautiful. How are you worthy of her?”

“Scram! If you don’t leave, you’ll die here!”

Trash among trash?

Yi Chen clenched his fists so hard that his veins bulged.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t defeat Yao Tianrong, but because Yao Tianrong was Yao Rui’s father, he couldn’t attack.

Since Yao Tianrong looked down on him so much, he would use his actions to prove him wrong!

Thinking of this, Yi Chen slowly stood up and looked up at the distant Mystic Cloud Sect’s main hall.

He took a deep breath and said loudly,

“Rui’er, I’m entering the Divine Martial Academy today!”

“After I finish my studies, I’ll come back and marry you!”

Because he had specifically circulated his energy and his voice was loud, he believed that Yao Rui would definitely be able to hear his voice.

With that, he turned around and left with a determined expression.

Yao Tianrong was stunned by Yi Chen’s words.

When he came back to his senses, he saw Yi Chen’s thin figure walking away.

Yao Tianrong couldn’t help but sneer. “The minimum requirement for the Divine Martial Academy is to reach the Spiritual Wheel Stage by the age of 15.”

“This kid is at least sixteen or seventeen years old and isn’t even at the Mystic Realm. He dreams of joining the Divine Martial Academy?”

“A liar like him is unworthy of my daughter!”

The Mystic Cloud Sect disciples at the side nodded silently.

They felt that Yi Chen must have made up a lie for the sake of his pride.

“The Divine Martial Academy is an academy set up by Her Majesty, Empress Mystic Ice, to nurture future generals. The requirements are quite high. If this kid wants to enter the academy… it’s simply a fool’s dream!”

The disciples shook their heads and mocked.

… .

In the backyard of the Mystic Cloud Sect’s main hall.

A beautiful girl in a light green dress was sitting at the stone table and arranging flowers with the accompaniment of a maidservant.

Although the girl was blind and couldn’t see the world around her,

her movements were very skillful and dexterous. Her speed at arranging flowers was even faster than that of the maidservant.

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded.

“Rui’er, I’m entering the Divine Martial Academy today!”

“After I finish my studies, I’ll come back and marry you!”

Yao Rui’s hand couldn’t help but tremble. “This is Yi Chen’s voice!”

She hurriedly stood up to go to the hall to see Yi Chen.

After a few steps, a maidservant walked into the backyard and stopped her.

The maidservant told her what had happened just now and that Yi Chen had already left.

After hearing the maidservant’s words, Yao Rui couldn’t help but frown with a sad expression.

“Father, how can you insult Yi Chen like this?”

“If Yi Chen does anything out of line under your provocation, I will never be at ease!”

Ever since she left the mountain three years ago and accidentally met Yi Chen, she had a good impression of him.

Over the past three years, she had come into contact with Yi Chen many times.

Although she couldn’t see, her instincts told her that Yi Chen was a person with talent.

However, when she thought about how Yi Chen was going to the famous Divine Martial Academy, she felt rather uneasy.

On second thought, she shook her head.

“No, Yi Chen is a very independent person. He definitely won’t be easily swayed by others!”

“If he decides on something, he must be confident!”

At the thought of this, Yao Rui was very anxious to see Yi Chen.

If Yi Chen really joined the Divine Martial Academy, she would definitely make her father promise to let her marry Yi Chen and wait for him to return.

… .

Between North Mystic Heaven and Dongyuan Heaven, there was a mountain range called Martial Dawn Mountain.

This mountain range’s eighteen mountains merged. Its martial force was extremely powerful and its martial arts world was prosperous.

Therefore, Donghuang Ziyou chose this place and established the Divine Martial Academy.

On the towering main peak, there was the huge courtyard of the Divine Martial Academy.

At this moment, in the square at the front door of the courtyard, tens of thousands of people were waiting expectantly for the arrival of the empress.

Soon, golden light appeared in the sky and ice energy swarmed.

Nine huge golden dragons pulled the Mystic Ice Jade Carriage through the clouds and landed.

When Lin Xuan and Donghuang Ziyou walked out of the jade carriage with the four babies, everyone knelt and bowed.

“Greetings, Your Majesty!”

“Greetings, Consort!”

“Greetings, princesses!”

After the greeting, the Chancellor of the Divine Martial Academy, Qi Baitian, greeted them respectfully.

“Your Majesty, everything is ready. We’re just waiting for you to preside over the opening ceremony!”

“Alright.” Donghuang Ziyou nodded slightly.

Under Qi Baitian’s lead, she walked up the high platform in the center of the square.

She looked beautiful in a phoenix robe.

Amidst her stunning beauty, there was no lack of an emperor’s domineering aura as she looked down at the academy members.

These people were all martial artists and military elites from North Mystic Heaven and Dongyuan Heaven.

Not only were their cultivation levels high, but they were also upright and talented. They were the backbone of the Divine Martial Academy.

Donghuang Ziyou explained the goal of the Divine Martial Academy and its future prospects to them.

She was bold, powerful, and talented. Her words were incomparably infectious, and it made everyone’s blood boil.

After the speech, there was one last segment before the official opening of the Divine Martial Academy.

Qi Baitian pointed at a huge stone tablet at the front of the square and said,

“Your Majesty, please write a few words for the academy so that Divine Martial Academy’s academic goals can be remembered for eternity!”

Donghuang Ziyou nodded and raised her fair hand. Her fair finger flicked and a dazzling purple light flew out.

The purple light landed on the stone tablet and exploded, splashing out ten thousand dazzling lights.

When the light faded, a few words appeared.

Contribute to the country with martial force!
