C138 Pheasant

"No, we can't go out!" If he went out now, all his previous efforts would be for naught! And the Two-Headed Blood Python will not give us any more time to start the warship and escape! "

Li Yi held onto Dugu Ming's shoulder, shaking his head: "Wait patiently, the Dark Lightning Eagle should be back soon!"

"Hide yourselves! No one is allowed to leave unless you are blasted out!"

Dugu Ming gave the order, and the initially restless guards could only quietly hide. Several times the attacks of the Twin-headed Blood Python had landed at their feet, just a little bit short of shocking Li Yi and the rest. They could only pray that the Dark Lightning Eagle would appear as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the Dark Thunder Hawk didn't let Li Yi and the others down in the end, and finally made it back.

"Screech!"

Realizing that its territory had been destroyed by the Twin-headed Blood Python, the Dark Thunder Hawk let out an angry screech. Waving its wings, a dark black bolt of lightning flew towards one of the two-headed Blood Python's heads, and with a twist of its body, it pecked at the other head.

After being attacked twice, the Twin-headed Blood Python was also enraged beyond words. Its huge body charged towards the Dark Thunder Hawk, and at the same time, its two large heads continued to spit venom and flames at the Dark Lightning Eagle.

Relying on the flexibility of its wings, the Dark Thunder Hawk continuously shifted its body. While dodging the attacks of the Twin-headed Blood Python, it would find an opportunity to attack the Twin-headed Blood Python from time to time.

The aftermath of the battle caused the surroundings of the cliff to be riddled with holes. Li Yi and the others secretly complained; if this continues, they will be exposed sooner or later. When that time comes, it would be hard to say whether the two great Huang Beasts will ignore them and continue to fight or join forces to deal with them.

Fortunately, this was the territory of the Dark Black Thunder Hawk, after all, and seeing its own territory being heavily damaged, the Dark Thunder Hawk became anxious. It turned around and flew off into the distance with a high-pitched cry.

"It seems that this Dark Lightning Eagle did not want his territory to be destroyed and lured away the Twin-headed Blood Python. It has unintentionally helped us greatly!"

Li Yi and the rest let out a sigh of relief as they walked out of the sparse forest. Looking at how their surroundings were riddled with holes, they felt lucky to have survived.

"We need to hurry up and leave. Who knows if these two brutes will fight back or not. When they are discovered, they won't be able to escape!"

Not daring to stay any longer, Li Yi and the others scanned their surroundings, but didn't find any trace of the two dire beasts. They hurriedly released their battleships, found a direction, and fled at full speed.

"Phew, at least I was able to escape unscathed!"

After fleeing thousands of miles away, Li Yi and the others finally stopped worrying as they couldn't find the figures of the two dire beasts.

"Brother Li, we'd better hurry to the Darknorth Academy. Otherwise, it'll be too late!"

Dugu Ming looked at the map in the jade slip. They had already traveled for several months in the Wilderness. If they couldn't reach the Darknorth Academy in two months, they wouldn't be able to make it in time.

"Don't worry, Brother Dugu. Even if a heaven-defying treasure appears next, I won't pay any attention to it. We'll definitely reach the Darknorth Academy on time."

He was not an idiot, so he could understand the hidden meaning behind Dugu Ming's words. Since they had entered the Wilderness, it had all been because of the chase from Xiang Shaotian and Dugu Ce, and also because of the appearance of the Desolate Pearl that they had wasted a lot of time.

What Dugu Ming said was right. If they were delayed because of some matter, it would be impossible for them to catch the date when Beiming Academy would accept students.

Dugu Ming didn't say anything more. Li Yi was a smart person, so he naturally knew how to prioritize matters. Some words were enough.

Nothing special happened in the next two months, and Li Yi continued to "enjoy the scenery" at the bow.

Of course, everyone now knew that Li Yi could absorb the Desolate Qi for cultivation, so when Li Yi was "admiring the scenery", no one would dare to disturb him.

The huge amount of Desolate Pearl's Desolate Qi was completely absorbed by Li Yi and Baopig. Li Yi could clearly feel that the strength of his physical body and soul had reached their current limits.

The most important thing was, Li Yi had a strange feeling that his Wanxiang Body was already starting to show signs of transforming into a Divine Demon Body!

It was hard to explain why he had such a feeling, but Li Yi clearly knew that his Wanxiang Body was different from before. The current him could summon 100 Wanxiang clones.

Li Yi had a feeling that the time he could actually summon ten thousand Wanxiang clones would be the time he would officially transform into a demon god body.

Two months later, the monotonous scenery of the Wilderness finally disappeared. Li Yi and the others arrived at their destination — the Darknorth Mountains.

"Is this the Darknorth Mountains?" "So big!"

Looking at the rolling mountains in front of him, Li Yi was slightly dumbfounded. This mountain range was no different from any other place. There was only one characteristic, and that was that it was huge, seemingly endless.

"Of course. The Darknorth Mountain Range is the largest mountain range in the Central Continent. Its size is vast and definitely not inferior to the Savage Land!"

Dugu Ce's words surprised Li Yi, "It's that big? Then when will we be able to reach the Darknorth Academy?

"Haha, rest assured!" The Darknorth Academy is on the outskirts of the Darknorth Mountains. It's less than three hundred kilometers away from our current location.

With his shrewdness, how could Dugu Ming make such a low level mistake? He was definitely confident that he could arrive at the Darknorth Academy on time, which was why he was so calm!

The Darknorth Academy only recruited one hundred students every hundred years for one year. The lowest cultivation level required one to be at the early stage of Soul Division and had to go through a series of selections and tests. The conditions were quite harsh.

Even so, every time the Darknorth Academy recruited students, a large number of cultivators would gather here from the lands of the other four provinces. This was because everyone knew that as long as one was able to enter the Darknorth Academy, one would have the chance to become a dragon.

This was because all the students that graduated from the Darknorth Academy were at least in the tribulation realm. In a place like the Central Region where experts were as numerous as the clouds, they were considered to be powerful. No one knew how Darknorth Academy nurtured its students, and none of the students who graduated from it mentioned anything about it.

In addition, the dean of Darknorth Academy was the legendary number one expert of the Central Region. In the past hundred thousand years, he was the only Rogue Immortal who had endured nine tribulations of the Celestial Tribulation of Rogue Immortals. No one knew his name. Everyone called him the dean.

In all of Central Plains, only this Nine Tribulations Rogue Immortal from the Darknorth Academy had the right to call the dean. Other small academies also had dean names, but when people called them, they would add them with surnames, such as Dean Li, Dean Ouyang, and so on.

He had heard that the dean could already ascend into the Immortal World. With his strength, once he ascended, he would be at least on the level of a Golden Immortal, but he still wasn't able to ascend. Some said that he couldn't let the Beiming Academy off, and some said that he didn't want to give up his status in the Central Region to become a nobody in the Immortal World.

However, this was only a guess. No one could confirm it, and no one dared to ask the dean for confirmation. However, due to the existence of the Headmaster, the Beiming Academy's position in the Central Region became even more stable and mysterious.

Every time Darknorth Academy recruited students, the Darknorth Mountains would be very lively. The three great families of the Central Continent and the two sacred courts would send their own direct disciples to register for the Darknorth Academy.

No matter how many people signed up, only a hundred were admitted to the Darknorth Academy.

Since they had to register for a year, those who arrived first could wait in the vicinity of the Darknorth Academy after they passed the various examinations, and only at the end of the year would they be able to select the final hundred students.

When Li Yi and the others arrived at Darknorth Academy, it just so happened to be the last three days before the registration deadline.

"Are you here to register?" "First, register the basic information."

Registration was conducted in the Beiming Academy's outer court, and the seniors in the academy would register and supervise the assessment.

No one would doubt the fairness of the assessment, because once they found out that the older students were being selfish or deliberately difficult, they would definitely be expelled from the academy and would never be able to recruit anyone. To the students of the Darknorth Academy, this was a punishment even more terrifying than death.

"Dugu Ming, the fourth prince of the Great Qin Holy Court, is at the intermediate stage of Divine Clone."

"Li Yi, middle stage Soul Division."

"You are a rogue cultivator?"

The senior student in charge of registration raised his head when he heard Li Yi's message.

"Something like that!"

This was the Central Region, and Li Yi and Zhao Zilong had taken refuge here. They naturally couldn't casually use the name Misty Pavilion. In the Central Region, he was no different from a rogue cultivator.

"Is there a guarantee?"

The old student asked.

"He's Gu's friend, I'll give him a guarantee!"

The older student nodded and didn't ask any further. He recorded Li Yi's information into the jade slip.

"Your basic information meets the requirements to register. Go to the inner room and test your other abilities!"

Pointing at a small house in the outer court, the old student ignored Li Yi and Dugu Ming.

"You need someone to guarantee your entry into the Darknorth Academy?"

Arriving at the entrance of the testing room, Li Yi couldn't help but ask Dugu Ming as he waited in line to enter one by one.

"Of course! The Darknorth Academy was not a place where one could enter just because they wanted to. Other than the disciples from the intermediate levels and the two Holy Mansion, if anyone wanted to enter, they had to have a guarantor. This was also to prevent people with ill intentions from entering. "Because once something like this happens, the guarantor will be blamed. Other than those who are well-informed and close to each other, there is no guarantee!"
