Humans are in the wilderness, God is in perfection!

While Xia Mangqing was in seclusion perfecting his path to immortality, the world outside was already in chaos, with winds rising and clouds surging, countless forces taking action, and ancient freaks and monsters resurrecting one after another.

Some dark horses of our time have also begun to show their prowess and are gaining fame throughout the three thousand states.

"Legend has it that the current successor of the Immortal Palace and the successor of the Supreme Palace fought a battle in the Five Elements Continent, but unfortunately, the final outcome remains unknown!"

"This is true of every generation. In this era, the geniuses of the three thousand states are engaged in a great battle, which will surely be another fierce competition."

"I've heard that an ancient monster has been resurrected in Tianzhou, and is suspected to be a War King from a certain era of the War Clan."

"It seems that a great calamity has also appeared in the Sinful State, with violent methods, which has attracted the pursuit of the Demon Dragon Sect, Sword Valley and other sects."

"..."

As news spread, even Xia Mangqing, who was at the Heavenly Immortal Academy, heard about it.

As a great era arrives, powerful figures rise to prominence. Not only are there contemporary geniuses and prodigies, but also freaks resurrected from ancient times, all making final preparations for the battle for supremacy between immortals and the ancient world.

Ding-ding-ding-ding

One day, the sound of a bell suddenly rang out from the Tianxian Academy.

Upon hearing this, all the disciples gathered on a vast platform, shrouded in mist and brimming with spiritual energy, resembling a sacred celestial land and appearing extraordinary.

Moreover, this matter is of great importance, so even some geniuses and prodigies who have been in seclusion for a long time have appeared at this moment.

Xia Mangqing's Golden Crow Primordial Spirit also broke through the barrier, his whole body shrouded in brilliant golden light, like a god, exuding an aura that terrified ordinary people.

"Senior Brother Qingxuan!"

"Senior Brother Qingxuan!"

"Senior brother!"

When he arrived at the gathering place, many young disciples greeted him.

Although he had only been with the Celestial Immortal Academy for a few months, his strength was extraordinary. Upon arriving at the academy, he swept aside a group of geniuses and directly joined the ranks of the strongest prodigies.

However, after that, he fell into seclusion, devoted himself to cultivation, and comprehended magical techniques and supernatural powers. He rarely revealed himself to the outside world and did not cause any great disturbances.

However, as one of the strongest geniuses of our time, his reputation is considerable, and he has even been compared to some of the first generation. When he appeared, his fellow disciples immediately recognized him.

"Senior Brother Mo Xuan has arrived too!"

"And there's Senior Sister Yihua, Senior Brother Tianheng..."

"The strongest geniuses have all arrived; it can only be because of that one thing!"

"Yes, what else could possibly bring all the senior brothers and sisters together?"

Many ordinary disciples were discussing it.

Just then, a few wisps of breeze drifted by, and the clouds materialized, eventually coalescing into several figures. Upon seeing them, the disciples immediately bowed and greeted them, saying, "Greetings, Elder."

No need for formalities.

One of the elders spoke, his eyes seemingly encompassing the heavens and earth, his cultivation unfathomable. He spoke calmly, "The battle of the strongest geniuses from the three thousand states is about to begin. How are you prepared?"

"Everything is ready."

Mo Xuan spoke confidently. He was tall and strong, carrying a heavy sword on his back. He had a powerful aura and was known as the strongest genius of the current Tianxian Academy. Although he was not the first generation, he had defeated three first generation geniuses in a row.

"Rest assured, Elder, we have been preparing for this for many years."

Another prodigy, "Yihua," spoke up. She was a top ten beauty on the list of beauties and also one of the strongest prodigies.

The other geniuses either spoke or nodded, indicating that there were no problems and everything was ready.

"Hmm." The elder nodded, stroked his beard, and said, "You must remember that the convergence of all rivers into the sea is a great opportunity and a great fortune, which you must not miss. In the coming days, you should seize the time to find the spark that will ignite the divine fire, but remember not to break through rashly."

The disciples respectfully agreed. They knew some inside information: the great opportunity of all rivers converging into the sea was only open to those at the Venerable Realm. Before the opportunity arrived, they must not break through their cultivation level.

"Alright, Mo Xuan, Yi Hua, Qing Xuan, Tian Heng... you stay here. The rest of you disciples, you may leave now."

The elder spoke again, keeping the ten strongest talents behind, while the rest of the disciples left with some reluctance.

"I left you ten here to inform you that my Heavenly Immortal Academy has found information about some top-tier fire seeds. If you are interested, you can try to obtain them. If you can, your foundation and cultivation will be far superior to ordinary people after you become gods in the future."

The elder said slowly.

Although the Celestial Academy is one of the top lineages in the Three Thousand Provinces, it is impossible for it to have a very powerful lineage. Moreover, this lineage is not like those supreme lineages, and its foundation is still much weaker.

Finding information about top-tier divine fire is already difficult enough.

As for the so-called becoming a god or igniting the divine fire, it is actually just planting the seeds of the divine path. The best seeds will naturally bear the most abundant fruit in the future. Of course, this is the common method of igniting the divine fire. There are also some extraordinary people who do not follow the path of their predecessors, but have created different worlds and ignited the divine fire with alternative methods.

For example, the World Tree, Immortal Blood, and other methods.

"Thank you, Elder."

"We will definitely give it our all. Even if we fail, we may still forge an invincible path."

"good."

Several prodigies spoke up. As renowned talents in their respective regions, they were naturally very confident. Upon hearing this, the elder exchanged a glance with the other elders, smiled faintly, and remained silent.

"They're planning to let them experience that difference for themselves..." Xia Mangqing thought to himself as he watched this scene.

These geniuses were certainly not fools; they understood the principle that there are always people more capable than themselves and that there is always something beyond their understanding. However, their vision was limited to their own time, and they knew very little about those ancient prodigies and freaks.

Little did they know that any one of those beings could rival the strongest prodigy of the era.

Moreover, the Three Thousand Provinces are vast and boundless, and there will be many beings stronger than them who will be able to enter the Immortal Ancient Realm. Their minds and beliefs will inevitably be shaken.

However, fortune and misfortune are intertwined. If one can overcome this and remain steadfast in one's belief in spiritual practice, one's future achievements will not be bad.

"In that case, each of you choose a spark and go search for it." The elder waved his sleeve, and ten pages of golden paper hung in mid-air, covered with ancient characters.

It not only contains information about the divine fire seed, but also methods related to rare and precious fire, such as the fire bathing technique, the fire-finding method, and the fire-worshiping method.

In reality, the same flame has helped countless geniuses build their divine foundations throughout history, and it generally does not completely merge with any one person.

Each of the ten prodigies chose one, and Xia Mangqing also chose one called Pure Yang Fire, which was passed down from ancient times and was a top-level fire. Xia Mangqing felt that it might be useful to him, so he chose it.

Of course, he wouldn't take the usual path. After all, he still needs to break through to immortality, and the foundation of the divine path is extremely important. He cannot rely on external things like pure yang fire to ignite it, otherwise it will do more harm than good.

However, this flame is indeed extremely strong. He plans to have his main body divide its spirit to help him control it. If he can completely refine and fuse it, it will be of great benefit to him and will also be helpful when cultivating immortal energy later.

After obtaining information about the Pure Yang Fire, Xia Mangqing left the Heavenly Immortal Academy.
