Chapter 162: White Jade Stairs!

The Middle Saint Academy was located in the center of the Holy Region. It was located above a huge spiritual vein and was filled with spiritual energy.

Before the entrance of the Middle Saint Academy stood a huge stone tablet.

Below the stone tablet were two layers of white jade-like stairs. They piled up layer by layer until they reached the foot of the mountain.

Xuan Yi narrowed his eyes and carefully sized up the stairs.

Below the hundred layers of stairs was the mountain gate of the Middle Saint Academy. At this moment, it was not time to welcome the new students. The gate of the Middle Saint Academy was tightly shut, and the ancient trees in the surroundings were shaded.

Xuan Yi muttered to himself.

In the next second, he rushed to foot of the mountain.

Looking up, it was clearly only a hundred layers of stairs. However, these hundred layers directly extended from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain. Although there were not many of them, the distance was quite long.

Xuan Yi became excited and stepped on the steps. In the next instant, his eyes flashed and countless calamities roared. He could even feel that his body was emitting a burnt smell. A terrifying aura then attacked his mind and spread across his face.

“Hmph!”

Xuan Yi frowned slightly. The sea of fire immediately disappeared. Several steps had already passed. He took the next step and spread out his sword intent.

Before he could even see what was happening clearly, another flight of stairs had already passed, as if he was strolling leisurely. One flight of stairs was faster than the next, and after a few breaths, he had reached a hundred flights of stairs.

Boom!

The stone tablet shook with a loud bang, and Dao sounds lingered around it. Countless names appeared in the void, shining brilliantly!

An aura spread throughout the entire middle saint academy, causing quite a stir.

Many names then appeared on the screen. From low to high, they rose directly to the highest level, leaving the first place behind. A dazzling golden light was constantly changing. The golden light then extended out, expressing its closeness and invitation to Xuan Yi.

This was an invitation to Xuan Yi to extend his brand and leave Xuan Yi’s mark on the stone tablet.

Xuan Yi frowned slightly, shook his head and laughed. He turned around and left. Instead of creating a commotion, he just walked away.

At this moment, countless teachers and students in the entire middle Saint Academy could feel the rumbling of the stone tablet.

“What happened?”

“Someone broke through the white jade steps! They set a record!”

“Who is it? Didn’t the freshmen not start the competition yet?”

The Middle Saint Academy had been blessed by countless experts with formations, and ordinary people would not be able to move at all. The current commotion could only mean that someone had broken the record for the White Jade Steps.

And the new record had not been broken for several years!

Spirit essence flashed, and several sect master realm experts flew through the air. Looking at the stone tablet that was shining with brilliance, everyone was shocked!

The Middle Saint Academy, which had maintained the first place for thousands of years, was far ahead by an empty name that was shining with golden light.

It was firmly pressed down below!

“Who is this! He walked through the white jade steps in just a few breaths!”

“The highest record in thousands of years is only a hundred breaths…”

A young man in embroidered clothes frowned as a shocked expression remained on his face.

Then, he spread out his hands and pressed onto the golden button.

“Bang!”

The golden light trembled, and the tyrannical power directly sent it flying.

As a powerful sect master, he couldn’t even hold down an empty name!

“It’s true that someone broke the record of the White Jade Steps, but why didn’t he leave his name behind?”

The young man in embroidered clothes flew back, and his heart was filled with excitement. His eyes were filled with bewilderment.

Several thousand years ago, that Heaven’s chosen had cleared the white jade steps within a hundred breaths. A thousand years later, he was already a supreme expert, and his name was well-known throughout the Saint Realm!

Yet, this empty name only used ten breaths?

The crowd was speechless, and their gazes were extremely complicated. Even for them, with the strength of a sect master, it would take them at least a few hundred breaths to forcefully clear the white jade steps. Not to mention alarming the stone tablet, it would be difficult for them to even shake it!

Was this middle-stage saint a monster?!

Because Xuan Yi did not leave his name behind, the Golden Light from the stone tablet soared into the sky. It shone for half a day before dissipating unwillingly.

The light from the stone tablet faded away, but the gazes everyone was looking at him with were extremely complicated.

As long as someone challenged the stone tablet and broke the record, the stone tablet would shine. After that, everyone would know that the record for the white jade steps had been broken.

But they had never thought that it would actually be a white name.

Looking at the second place, there was a huge gap between them and the first place,

A few days later, the entrance of the refined Saint Academy was packed with people.

The headmaster gave the order and the gate opened. Many geniuses rushed in.

The recruitment of disciples then officially began.

“Have you heard that? Not all of us can enter the refined Saint Academy.”

Beside Mingyue Lan, a man dressed in a red robe was showing off in front of Mingyue Lan. His eyes were burning with passion.

The moment he noticed Mingyue Lan, he was attracted by the man’s charm. After learning that it came from outside the saint realm, he was even more overjoyed. He felt that his chance had finally come.

“If you want to enter the lifelong academy, you have to first clear the white jade steps. Everyone can pass this white jade steps and the test items are different. However, as long as you clear it quickly, your results will naturally be high!”

“The Middle Saint Academy only takes the top 100 with good results. In other words, run quickly!”

Mingyue Lan was interested in the response. “What’s the fastest record?”

The red-robed youth shook his head proudly. “A heaven’s favorite from thousands of years ago. He only used a hundred breaths to break the record set by the Middle Saint Academy for tens of thousands of years. Now, he has become a Heavenly King!”

“In those thousands of years, has anyone broken his record?”

The red-robed young man shook his head. “No. The refined Saint Academy is already on the decline. From the first academy back then, it has fallen to the fourth place today. If it can’t nurture any more people, I’m afraid it will fall out of the top academies.”

“What if someone breaks the second place record?”

Hong Pao blinked her eyes. “That’s impossible. The true prodigies have long been snatched away by the other four academies. That’s why the refined Saint Academy’s recruitment time isn’t fixed. It’s to prevent people from snatching the students. Moreover, if someone really breaks the number one record, that would definitely be a heavenly king. It would even surpass the Heavenly King!”

Hong Pao then took a deep breath.

“That will shock the entire Holy Region!”

Mingyue Lan seemed to agree with that.

Although she was born in the Middle East, she was one of the ten overlords. There were countless people chasing after her.

Mingyue Lan saw through red robe’s thoughts at a glance.

In spite of that, the red-robed youth was born in the Holy Region, so he was more knowledgeable than people from the Middle East. Therefore, Mingyue Lan, Jian Chen, and the others were happy to have him follow them.

“Hehe, let’s forget about breaking the record. No matter how bad the Saint Academy is, it’s still one of the top five academies in the south continent. For thousands of years, there have been countless geniuses on this stone tablet.”

The red-robed man stared at the people in front of him and shook his head slightly, for he felt that it was impossible for these people to break the records of the refined Saint Academy for tens of thousands of years!
