Chapter 6164: Academy of the Gods
It wasn’t really Wu Li’s fault for his limited knowledge.
Aside from him, no one here knew what the Academy of the Gods truly represented.
Entering the Academy of the Gods meant becoming a future Universe God.
A 100 percent chance of becoming a Universe God.
In the entire Starry Sky, only the Academy of the Gods could achieve this.
Because the one who founded this place was a true ruler of the Starry Sky.
But that person no longer cared about this place.
Everything was handed over to the Star Spirit Envoys.
Like Xing Yue in front of them.
But one should not underestimate the person in front of them.
Her strength might be even greater than that of the Realm King.
As for why she appeared here, the reason was simple.
Someone stronger than the Realm King appearing here was quite normal, wasn’t it?
Even if she appeared in a pit, people would still scramble to get in!
Upon realizing the significance of this place, Wu Li couldn’t help but gasp and immediately knelt down to bow.
Stronger than the Realm King—who would fear Zamasu if they entered the Academy of the Gods?
“Little ones, the Academy of the Gods is not easy to enter. You still need to pass the test!” Xing Yue was also curious herself, not knowing why she was guiding these strange little ones this time.
Among this group, she could only see the extraordinary in Zong Qian, Hu Qing, and Jian Wushuang.
The others were far too inferior.
These people entering was actually a waste of spots.
Not to mention the slots for entering the Academy of the Gods, even the spots for participating as candidates were extremely precious.
Because you couldn’t participate just because you wanted to.
It depended on whether you had the ability.
If you did, you would be summoned.
“I understand this. Since the Academy of the Gods has given me this opportunity, I, Zong Qian, will definitely seize it!” Zong Qian bowed in salute.
A resolute look appeared in his eyes.
As for the previous competition for the treasure, it had long been forgotten.
Even if he had the ability to snatch the treasure from Jian Wushuang, he wouldn’t do it.
Because compared to the Academy of the Gods, all of this was not worth it.
The opportunity to become a Universe God.
This opportunity could only attract ordinary people.
It couldn’t attract Zong Qian.
But the Academy of the Gods was different. Not only would it cultivate you to become a Universe God, but there was even hope of becoming a Realm King.
Or even becoming a Star Spirit Envoy.
The 12 Star Spirits of the Starry Sky.
Each Star Spirit had 3 Star Spirit Envoys.
There were only so many positions.
Whether it was becoming a Realm King or a Star Spirit Envoy, these were heights that ordinary cultivators couldn’t reach.
“Alright, since I’ve explained everything, let’s begin!” Xing Yue waved her hand, casually tearing apart the spacetime within the Starry Sky Secret Realm. Jian Wushuang and the others followed the opening and directly entered the depths of this Starry Sky Secret Realm.
Before entering, Jian Wushuang was still puzzled. What had been explained?
They hadn’t even mentioned the conditions for entering the Academy of the Gods!
But once he entered, he understood.
The scene before him was self-explanatory.
Towering towers lined up in a row.
The Land of Feathering!
The Feathering Towers!
This time, they were really playing big.
Actually, Jian Wushuang wasn’t particularly interested in the Academy of the Gods.
He preferred to follow a steady path.
But after Wu Zuo and the others learned about the Academy of the Gods, they had already started making efforts.
Each of them had a gleam in their eyes.
After entering the Land of Feathering, they discovered that they were not the only ones here.
There were thousands of candidates.
All of them were venturing into the Feathering Towers.
Zong Qian ignored everyone and was the first to head toward the Feathering Towers.
Seeing a powerful demon clan member, he smiled and asked, “Friend, we just arrived and are unaware of…”
Before he could finish his sentence, the other person ignored him and walked away.
Trying to extract information was impossible.
They were all competitors, after all.
Jian Wushuang also sneered and led his people directly to the nearest Feathering Tower.
Rules? We’ll figure them out once we’re in.
“You all wait here for a moment. I’ll sneak in first.”
Naturally, Wu Li and the others had no objections since he was the strongest among them.
The first to scout the way.
Just as he was about to step into the Feathering Towers, a withered old man blocked his path.
“To go up the tower, first hand over a skeleton!”
“A skeleton?” Jian Wushuang was taken aback. He then raised his head and asked, “Where do we find one?”
“The back mountain!”
After the old man coldly said this, he ignored him.
A skeleton!
The back mountain.
Jian Wushuang turned to look at everyone and waved, “Let’s go!”
They had all heard the conversation.
A mysterious force was gradually revealing itself before them.
No one knew they had entered this place.
The outside world still thought they had fallen.
Little did they know, they had entered the trial grounds of the Star Field of the Gods.
Zong Qian quickly figured out the rules.
To ascend the tower, they first had to obtain a skeleton.
The Feathering Towers were actually a treasure land within this Starry Sky secret realm.
It was just a place chosen by the Star Field of the Gods on the Realm King Continent to search for candidates.
Wu Li and the others were quite familiar with this place.
Upon hearing they had to find skeletons in the back mountain, they exclaimed, “They can’t possibly want us to kill that thing, right?”
“What thing?”
“You’ll know once we get there!”
When they arrived at the back mountain, Jian Wushuang was also startled by what he saw.
Skeletons wandered the back mountain.
Upon closer inspection, these skeletons were pieced together.
They weren’t from a single person.
The bones were also colored, indicating different levels.
White was the most common, with the weakest divine power.
Even a demigod could take them down.
This was to accommodate weaker candidates.
The Star Field of the Gods didn’t select based on who had the strongest divine power but on overall potential and talent.
That was how they made their final decision.
“Everyone, this time we’ve escaped death. Seize the opportunity we’ve gained!”
However, he knew in his heart that despite Zong Qian’s exaggerated claims, this place wouldn’t be easy to enter.
If he entered the Star Field of the Gods, he might not have to fear Zamasu anymore.
The key was being able to get in.
And he didn’t know the criteria for their judgment.
“I’m more familiar with this place. The Star Field of the Gods is likely temporarily selecting candidates here. Follow me!”
Wu Li led the way.
This place was a Starry Sky secret realm in the Silver Blue Star Field.
Zong Qian might not have been here before, but many others had.
Although entering this Starry Sky secret realm required a rare token, the candidates chosen by the Star Field of the Gods were all top experts from various major forces.
They were far from ordinary.
After entering, they quickly familiarized themselves with the place.
Jian Wushuang and the others followed Wu Li and Wu Zuo to the back mountain and began hunting those skeletons.
With their current combat strength, slaying blue skeletons was no challenge.
White skeletons corresponded to divine power below 50 million.
Blue skeletons ranged from 50 to 60 million.
Apart from Wu Li, their divine power was all above 50 million.
They quickly collected many blue skeletons.
Since they didn’t know what the skeleton levels represented, taking white skeletons to the Feathering Towers might make things easier.
This would require some testing to determine.
