This realm was not particularly large; it was a minor world.
Ye Yu heard this news in the most bustling ancient city within this realm.
According to the information he had gathered,
this Shengxuan Academy, while not the most prestigious institution in the Boundless Starry Sky,
could not compare to legendary supreme cultivation Holy Lands like the Hall of Heroes.
However, looking across the Vast Expanse eastern region, it was considered a fairly renowned place for cultivation, and its foundations were quite deep.
"Not bad. This Shengxuan Academy will serve as a temporary place for me to stay."
Ye Yu understood that such academies were usually well-stocked with various cultivation resources.
He could just lay low and develop himself inside.
Incidentally, he could also help the Spirit of the Gate of Creation recover some energy.
The faster the Spirit of the Gate of Creation recovered, the more methods it could utilize, which would naturally be of greater help to him.
Once his cultivation level improved,
Ye Yu did intend to visit cultivation Holy Lands with deeper foundations,
such as the Celestial Court's Hall of Heroes.
For some reason, whenever Ye Yu heard the name "Celestial Court," he always felt an inexplicable sensation and resonance.
However, he couldn't quite put his finger on the reason why.
Afterward, Ye Yu left this realm and headed to the world where the Shengxuan Academy was located.
The Shengxuan Academy was situated in a vast and expansive world.
Many Cultivators were heading to this world,
all hoping to join the Shengxuan Academy.
But not everyone could join.
Although the Shengxuan Academy was not a supreme cultivation Holy Land like the Hall of Heroes and its standards were not as high,
it was certainly not a place where just any tom, dick, or harry could enter.
Before entering the Shengxuan Academy, one had to pass a rigorous assessment,
which required entering an ancient battlefield.
That ancient battlefield had a special Formation field that could suppress cultivation.
All Cultivators who entered were suppressed to below the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
Yet, within that ancient battlefield, there were creatures of the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
This showed that the test was indeed very strict.
But for Ye Yu, this was naturally not a problem.
Soon, he followed the crowd and arrived at this ancient battlefield, which was located on an ancient star.
Many people had already gone in to train,
and Ye Yu followed suit.
He indeed felt the suppression of the Formation;
his entire Qi was suppressed to below the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
However, the Spirit of the Gate of Creation was completely unaffected.
"I can help you break through the Formation's suppression here," the Spirit of the Gate of Creation said.
"No need. I also want to temper my own abilities," Ye Yu replied.
"Not bad…" The Spirit of the Gate of Creation sounded with a hint of appreciation.
If Ye Yu relied entirely on it for everything, that would be falling into a lower path.
Afterward, Ye Yu ventured through the ancient battlefield, tempering himself.
As Ye Yu delved deeper, the interior of the ancient battlefield became increasingly dangerous.
At one moment, the voice of the Spirit of the Gate of Creation suddenly rang in Ye Yu's mind.
"Ye Yu, I seem to have sensed a certain inexplicable aura. There should be an unusual existence in that direction."
"Oh?" Ye Yu's eyes flashed with surprise.
To be able to attract the attention of the gate of creation, it seemed there was something special.
He followed the guidance of the Spirit of the Gate of Creation and headed in that direction.
From that direction, fluctuations of combat could be felt, accompanied by the roaring sounds of Vicious Beasts.
Ye Yu cast a glance and discovered that it was actually three Quasi-Emperor Realm Vicious Beasts besieging an existence!
And that existence was actually a petite young girl!
The young girl was petite with fair, delicate skin and exquisite, pretty features.
Her head of silver hair fluttered with her movements, scattering like the Milky Way.
Most striking of all were the girl's eyes—vertical pupils, resembling those of a demon or beast.
However, this did not ruin the girl's beauty; instead, it added a touch of eerie charm.
The girl held a white bone dagger in her jade hand, her footwork swift as she circled with the three Quasi-Emperor Realm Vicious Beasts.
This was absolutely extraordinary.
Because a Formation had been set up here, everyone's cultivation—regardless of whether they had reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm or not—was suppressed to below the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
Therefore, for the girl to be able to circle with three Quasi-Emperor Realm Vicious Beasts for so long, her methods were clearly extraordinary.
This girl was none other than Ling Xi, who had come to the Shengxuan Academy!
She had previously bid farewell to Jun Xiaoyao, wanting to train alone to improve herself, and thus had come to the Shengxuan Academy to participate in the ancient battlefield trial.
"Spirit of the Gate of Creation, what is unique about that girl?"
Ye Yu restrained his Qi and observed from a distance.
"Some of the auras on her, although deliberately hidden, I can still detect.
It seems there is a faint time-space fluctuation. Why does it feel a bit like the vanished Time-Space Spirit Clan?" the Spirit of the Gate of Creation said.
"The Time-Space Spirit Clan?"
The Spirit of the Gate of Creation briefly explained a few things.
Ye Yu finally understood.
This was a once extremely powerful clan that had later, for various reasons, been buried in the long river of history.
"There are many supreme treasures within the Time-Space Spirit Clan, and even the legendary time-space ancestral tree. This would be of great benefit to you and is very important," the Spirit of the Gate of Creation said.
"Why?" Ye Yu was puzzled.
Why was the time-space ancestral tree important to him?
"Because the path you are to take in the future shares overlapping attributes with the time-space ancestral tree.
If you can obtain the time-space ancestral tree, your speed of progress will be immense, and you will undergo an unprecedented transformation!"
The tone of the Spirit of the Gate of Creation was solemn and very serious.
Ye Yu also straightened his expression, knowing that the Spirit of the Gate of Creation would not lie to him.
"In that case, I should build a good relationship with this girl.
Putting aside whether I can find the time-space ancestral tree, her identity alone is worth befriending," Ye Yu mused.
"Not bad. You can build a good relationship with her; you might have unexpected gains in the future," the Spirit of the Gate of Creation also said.
Just at this moment.
Roar!
An astonishing roar erupted.
The three Quasi-Emperor Realm Vicious Beasts seemed to be completely enraged by Ling Xi, and terrifying, vicious, murderous Qi surged.
It seemed they were about to surround and kill Ling Xi.
"Good opportunity!"
Ye Yu's eyes flashed.
Although it was a bit clichéd,
a damsel-in-distress rescue was considered the fastest way to get closer to the opposite sex.
On the other side, Ling Xi was about to unleash the Time Dao Sword that Jun Xiaoyao had taught her, hoping to use this to temper this Divine Ability.
But suddenly, a figure rushed in directly, with surging Divine Ability fluctuations, and headed straight to blast at one of the Vicious Beasts!
"Who?"
Ling Xi's brows arched.
She had just wanted to use these three Vicious Beasts to train, so why did someone interfere?
"Young lady, do not worry. I am here to help you."
Ye Yu revealed a faint smile.
His appearance was already refined, and at this moment, showing a smile gave him a feeling of being able to draw people closer.
However, Ling Xi was full of question marks.
"Who are you???"
However, seeing this, Ling Xi did not remain idle; she unleashed the Time Dao Sword and slashed toward another Vicious Beast.
After a period of fierce fighting, the three Vicious Beasts were resolved by Ye Yu and Ling Xi.
Only then did Ye Yu heave a sigh of relief, turning to look at Ling Xi with a slight smile.
However, the smile on the corner of his mouth slightly stiffened.
Because he saw the girl's expression of vigilance and suspicion.
It was as if she was questioning why he had intervened.
"This… this isn't right…"
Ye Yu was a bit bewildered.
