The Sect Master resided on the highest peak, named Dengtian Peak, signifying the ascent to the heavens.
Crucially, it was quite high, and no stairs could reach it; flight was the only means of access.
Scattered across the entire peak were numerous houses and buildings, though it was unclear who resided in them.
Those who could live on Dengtian Peak must possess extraordinary identities.
Yang Junming led Zhou Yan all the way to a vast square before descending.
As soon as he stepped off the paper boat, he sensed an incredibly potent spiritual energy, tens of times more concentrated than that of his own territory.
This astounded him; this mountain peak truly lived up to its reputation as the highest in the entire academy.
The Ziwei Academy, having existed for countless years, possessed such profound foundations, which was entirely normal.
"Zhou Yan!"
Zhou Yan looked to the side and saw Lin Tan calling him. This fellow had indeed made it into the top three, and was thus qualified to be here.
Besides him were Ye Bufan and Zhuge Kaiming. The other two were the first-place winner of the farming lord competition, Zhao Qingwu, whom Ye Bufan was pursuing, and another male whose name he did not know.
The six individuals did not belong to the same class, so six general instructors led them towards a certain destination. Along the way, they saw many Ziwei Academy guards, who stood like ancient warriors at various points of the mountain gate.
These individuals' strength could not be underestimated, and their quality was high. Unfortunately, the six could not discern much, only that these people were powerful.
This was no ordinary place; even the general instructors required a pass to enter an ancient structure called the [Ziwei Celestial Palace].
This building was incredibly tall, piercing the clouds, with no discernible number of floors.
This was likely the place where the entire Ziwei Academy handled official affairs. They saw people in orange robes entering and exiting, but couldn't tell if they were instructors or deans.
This was because both instructors and deans wore orange, making distinction difficult.
They entered the [Ziwei Celestial Palace] and were awestruck by its grandeur. Inside were many modern office platforms, all used to manage the various affairs of the Ziwei Academy.
They arrived beside an elevator, but this was no ordinary elevator; it was a teleportation elevator. Once inside, one simply pressed a floor number, and it would transport them to that level.
From entering to exiting, it took mere seconds.
He discovered that the [Ziwei Celestial Palace] had a total of 100 floors, and their destination was the 90th floor.
"This teleportation elevator is quite novel," Zhou Yan exclaimed.
"This is designed by combining modern elevators with teleportation formations; it's not particularly difficult," Zhuge Kaiming replied.
As expected of someone who played with formations, his knowledge of various formations was comprehensive. He likely could create such teleportation arrays.
"The Ziwei Academy has many teleportation formations that can reach distant places, but we are not yet qualified to use them," Ye Bufan said.
The Ziwei Academy was no smaller than the entire Canglan Continent. Such a vast place, without transportation like trains or airplanes, naturally required various teleportation formations to connect different areas.
Of course, for places relatively close, airships sufficed.
Across the entire Canglan Continent, there were many spatial worlds similar to the Ziwei Academy, but whether they were as large as the Ziwei Academy was uncertain.
Ye Bufan also didn't know, as he had only visited a few spatial worlds and wasn't very familiar with them.
Each floor was immense. The instructors led the six of them to the entrance of a Sect Master's office. After the guards at the door reported, an elder in a red robe quickly emerged.
She was strikingly cold and beautiful, measured at 1.8 meters tall, with a figure of...
"Elder Feng Yu," the six general instructors greeted and said, "These six are the cream of the crop from this year's freshman trial. Please trouble Elder to lead them in; we will wait outside."
Feng Yu nodded and said, "Then you may wait in the reception room. It likely won't be quick."
"Understood."
The six general instructors nodded and said to the six youths, "Elder Feng Yu is the Sect Master's secretary. Please heed the Elder's arrangements carefully."
"Yes, Teacher."
They were certainly not fools. From the respectful tone of the general instructors, they could already tell that Elder Feng Yu was no ordinary person.
She was likely more than just a simple Sect Master's secretary.
Zhou Yan had a bold idea!
"Follow me," Feng Yu, in her high heels, spoke with a clear, cool voice. Her form-fitting red elder robe revealed a beautiful S-shaped curve from behind.
She had a fantastic figure and a stunning appearance, exuding an aura that clearly indicated her considerable strength.
The six remained silent, following closely. The only sound in the corridor was the crisp click of Feng Yu's high heels.
They arrived before an ancient, grand door. With a creaking sound, a beam of light emanated from within. To their surprise, the interior was not a room, but was concealed by a shimmering light screen.
Feng Yu walked in. They exchanged glances, all feeling a sense of wonder; there was definitely something extraordinary within.
As they stepped inside, they indeed found themselves standing on grass, surrounded by the fragrance of flowers and the songs of birds. The spiritual energy here was several times stronger than outside, truly like a celestial realm.
It was worthy of being the Sect Master's residence.
In the distance, a waterfall cascaded down a mountain peak. Here, amidst a profusion of fragrant flowers, the scenery resembled an idyllic paradise.
These birds were not ordinary either; they were spiritual birds.
One bird, about the size of a mobile phone, had a tail nearly half a meter long, adorned with vibrant, colorful patterns, making it exceedingly beautiful.
No one knew its species, not even Ye Bufan.
They could not glean any information about it.
It flew to Feng Yu, who extended a jade-like hand. The bird landed on her white jade finger and chirped a few times. Feng Yu then nodded and said, "Understood. Be off."
The bird quickly flew away, joining other spiritual birds dancing freely in the sky.
This was a spatial world, and it had been magnificently transformed. The mountains, the waterfalls—he truly wished he could buy them and place them in his territory.
Alas, he had never seen any buildable mountains or waterfalls.
These must have been moved directly from the outside world through great divine abilities.
Feng Yu led them along a jade path, finally spotting a large tree in the distance.
The tree was indeed enormous, not much smaller than a house. Outside, they saw some pavilions and stone tables.
However, Sect Master Wu Qingfeng himself was nowhere to be seen.
They walked to the base of the large tree and felt an incredibly dense life force emanating from it. This tree was undoubtedly extraordinary.
"Wait here a moment."
Feng Yu finished speaking and approached the large tree. Then, right before their eyes, she walked directly into the tree.
This tree, too, held its own wonders, which surprised them.
"Roar!"
At this moment, a distant roar attracted their attention. They all looked curiously in that direction, and then a wave of astonishment washed over them.
They saw a strange beast running through the air and heading towards them.
"Wow, what kind of beast is that? It looks so majestic!" Lin Tan exclaimed.
"It's coming towards us. Should we run?" asked the unnamed farming lord.
"This is the Sect Master's world. This kind of beast won't harm us, so stay calm," Ye Bufan said.
