Chapter 1547: Chaos in Northern Heaven

Northern Heaven Continent

The Northern Heaven Continent used to be bustling with activity, but it was no longer. The place was currently in desolation. There were traces of a fierce battle everywhere, and the continent was in a disastrous state. The Demons Calamity had come to Northern Heaven Continent.

Compared to the other continents, the Demons Calamity at the Northern Heaven Continent was more serious. The strength of the Extraterritorial Race in the continent was overbearing, and although the forces had gathered together, the situation still did not look good for them.

The forces in the Northern Heaven Continent suffered continual defeat in the face of the tempestuous Demons Calamity. In the end, the forces managed to form a few gathering points, and they gathered together to join forces to contend with the Demons Calamity. The Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy was one of the gathering points.

Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy

A huge spiritual array formed a light barrier like a bowl that had been inverted, and it covered the entire spiritual academy. Powerful spiritual light emanated from the light barrier and gave the people who were in it a sense of security.

Within the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy, the academy was bustling with people, and it was extremely noisy. Currently, the other forces in the Northern Heaven Continent that had been defeated had gathered at the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy, and even the disciples from the other four spiritual academies were present as well.

The continents where the other four spiritual academies were situated had been ravaged by the Demons Calamities. As the five spiritual academies each had a Transfer Spiritual Array, at the crucial moment, the four spiritual academies had gathered their disciples and escaped to the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy using the Transfer Spiritual Array. However, they did not expect the Northern Heaven Continent to be attacked by the Demons Calamity soon after they had reached the continent.

The different forces had gathered together, and as there were so many people, the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy was overcrowded and rowdy. However, no one could be bothered by such things at the moment.

At one corner of the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy, when one looked down from the sky, one could see the clear water in the lake and several cultivation platforms surrounding the lake. The shade from the trees covered the dormitories that were around the area.

“Members of the Goddess Luo Association, listen up. Tidy up the empty dormitories in our association so that the disciples from the four spiritual academies can move in. Although we used to be competitors, at times like this, we have to put our differences aside. We must not let the others think that our Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy is petty.”

Many young men and young ladies surrounded a huge rock beside the lake. At that moment, they were looking at a slim and graceful lady standing on the rock. The lady had a charming look, and her hair was tied up in a ponytail. As she talked and moved about, her ponytail moved around as well, making her look young and vibrant.

The lady looked at the young men and young ladies around her and said with a smile, “Moreover, you must not forget who the founder of our Goddess Luo Association is. Although our seniors, Mu Chen and Luo Li, have graduated and left, they have left behind the Goddess Luo Association for us. We must not bring disgrace to them.”

“Senior Sister Sun’Er is right!”

“Don’t worry. Our Goddess Luo Association is not that petty. We will definitely make the necessary arrangements for the disciples from the other spiritual academies.”

“We can protect our Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy only if we stay united!” The voice of the lady by the name of Sun’Er resounded in the area again. The young men and young ladies echoed what she had said as they lifted their hands in the air. When Sun’Er saw their response, she looked pleased and nodded.

A few people were standing nearby, and when they saw the scene that had taken place over at the lake, all of them broke out into smiles.

“Sun’Er is doing a great job now. If Mu Chen and Luo Li were here and saw what she is doing, they would be shocked. Other than the two of them, who have won the hearts of the disciples, the little girl who used to follow behind them back then has become the next Chairman of the Goddess Luo Association, and she has won the support of the disciples,” a good-looking and charming man said with a smile when he saw how supportive the disciples were toward Sun’Er.

“I have heard that Sun’Er is now a Spiritual Array Ancestral Master. Chief Tai Cang has specially set up a Spiritual Array Academy for her to teach the disciples about spiritual arrays. She has surpassed the older generation. She is doing better than we did when we were younger back then!” another man who had a determined and calm look exclaimed and broke out into a smile.

An elegant lady who was standing beside them said with a smile, “The two of you stop getting sentimental. In fact, I did not expect you to come back to the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy at a time like this.” She could not help feeling surprised. The two men who were standing beside her used to take the academy by storm during her watch. They were Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong.

After the two of them had graduated, they had gone into the Great Thousand World to toughen themselves up. At the moment, the two of them were at the Complete Earthly Sovereign level, and they were only one step away from the Heavenly Sovereign level. They had done well given their current achievements.

“We are, after all, graduates of the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy. Since the spiritual academy is currently facing danger, we have to come and help the academy,” Shen Cangsheng said and gave a faint smile.

Li Xuantong nodded in agreement. He then smiled at the elegant-looking lady and said, “Ye Qingling, what about you? You have been staying in the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy for so many years, and you are now the Deputy Chief.”

“I am not as ambitious as the two of you. It is nice to stay on at the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy,” Ye Qingling said with a smile.

Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong nodded when they heard what Ye Qingling had said. They then said, “It is indeed nice to stay in the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy. At least you can still keep your innocence.” The two of them had lost their innocent look. They must have gone through a lot all those years when they were out wandering.

“Wow! The two prominent figures who used to create an uproar in the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy seem to be getting sentimental!” Someone teased them at that moment. When Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong looked up, they saw two ladies walking toward them.

One of the ladies was walking in front, and she wore a purple top and a pair of long pants. She had a slender and voluptuous figure, and she looked beautiful. She smiled charmingly, and she was none other than Wen Qingxuan. The lady beside Wen Qingxuan looked cute. She was Tang Qian’Er, the Deputy Chief of the Million Phoenix Spiritual Academy.

“Wen Qingxuan?” Li Xuantong was shocked when he saw Wen Qingxuan. He smiled and asked, “Why are you here? Why did you not stay at home with your family?”

Wen Qingxuan smiled and replied, “There are so many people at home, and there is no point for me to stay there.” Having said that, Wen Qingxuan and Tang Qian’Er looked at Ye Qingling and said with a smile, “We truly appreciate the Goddess Luo Association for extending your help and arranging accommodations for the disciples from our Million Phoenix Spiritual Academy.”

Ye Qingling waved her hand and said, “In situations like this, we have to help one another in order to have a higher chance of survival. By helping you, we are helping our Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy as well.”

When Wen Qingxuan heard what Ye Qingling had said, she sighed and said in a disheartened voice, “I do not know if we have a higher chance of survival, but at this moment, only Lord Sea Dragon from your spiritual academy is at the Heavenly Sovereign level. The Extraterritorial Race is only surrounding us and not attacking us because of this. However, once their Demon Emperors are here, and they attack us, we will be in bad shape.”

When the rest of them heard what Wen Qingxuan had said, they became silent. Apparently, they knew that the situation was against them.

“Sun’Er and her team are secretly building Transfer Spiritual Arrays. If the situation gets bad, we will send the disciples out using the Transfer Spiritual Arrays,” Ye Qingling said softly and helplessly.

In the face of such a situation, they could not depend solely on the power of the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy. One spiritual academy alone was unable to contend with the Extraterritorial Race.

Li Xuantong was silent for a while, and then he suddenly said, “If Mu Chen and Luo Li were here, the situation would be different.” When all of them heard the two names being mentioned, they became quiet. It was apparent that they still remembered the two of them.

“We still receive news about Luo Li, but for almost five years, we have heard nothing about Mu Chen,” Wen Qingxuan said as she furrowed her brows.

Shen Cangsheng nodded and said, “Five years ago, Mu Chen would have created havoc once in a while. However, he has gone missing in recent years, and there has been totally no news about him.”

“Currently, there have been rumors going on in the Great Thousand World saying that Mu Chen is afraid of the Extraterritorial Race, and he has gone into hiding.”

“They are spouting nonsense!” Wen Qingxuan said angrily. Given Mu Chen’s character, he would never do such a thing.

“Mu Chen is not a weakling. Given his character, he will not be afraid of any of his opponents, regardless of who they are. There must be a reason why he has gone missing for the past few years, but I am sure that it is not because he is afraid of the Extraterritorial Race,” Tang Qian’Er said in a serious tone.

Li Xuantong sighed and said, “Mu Chen was in the limelight back then, so naturally, some people will be jealous of him. Now that he has gone missing, and there is no news about him, these people will gossip about him.”

All of them sighed. They felt aggrieved and angry about the gossip that had been circulating around about Mu Chen.

“He will definitely appear,” Ye Qingling said softly but firmly. She recalled that many years back in the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy, there was a good-looking young man who was always smiling confidently. He was full of enthusiasm, and he was none other than Mu Chen.

Mu Chen had always been confident of himself. Regardless of who his opponent was, he had never run away. Back then, it was his confidence that had influenced those they had gathered together with him to set up the Goddess Luo Association. The Goddess Luo Association could then exist until now.

Ye Qingling believed that Mu Chen would not change his personality, no matter what he had gone through all those years. He would definitely appear, and when he did, he would take the entire Great Thousand World by surprise.

Ye Qingling looked at the rock that Sun’Er was standing on. She seemed to see the young, vibrant Mu Chen standing on the rock when the Goddess Luo Association had first been set up.

Mu Chen… I hope that when you are back, you are still the same person that you used to be.

Woo! Woo!

As they were recalling their past with Mu Chen, suddenly, a loud siren sound was heard in the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy. All of them looked stunned, and they lifted up their heads to look at the sky outside the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy. The Demonic Energy had gathered outside the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy, and it was moving toward the academy.

The Extraterritorial Race had started to attack them.
