TL: BluVerse
After he made the decision, his heart calmed down. During this recent period, even as the children were about to take their graduation exams, his heart remained unusually calm. He didn’t visit the Tang Sect again, choosing instead to stay on this side of the Interstellar Center. In his free time, he practiced meditation alone. Inadvertently, his cultivation broke through once again.
Lan Xuanyu and his team went back to rest, and Xiao Qi also took his leave. After teaching the graduation class, he had some time off and could spend a year in secluded cultivation in the Inner Court. So, Xiao Qi’s mood was quite good lately. The achievements of the Star Wars Experimental Class were evident, and undoubtedly, the academy would reward them generously.
After seeing them off, the Interstellar Center was left with Tang Zhenhua alone. Just as he was preparing to start his meditation, his soul communicator suddenly rang.
“Dean? What’s the matter?” It was Ying Luohong calling.
Ying Luohong fell silent on the other end. After a while, she spoke, “The Seven Saints Abyss poses a life-threatening danger for some people. Given your age, the risk is even greater. Don’t go.”
“Hmm?” Tang Zhenhua was momentarily stunned. He expected Ying Luohong’s call to be about Lan Xuanyu and his team or something related to the Star Wars Experimental Class, not trying to dissuade him.
“If I don’t go to the Seven Saints Abyss, can you forgive me?” Tang Zhenhua asked lightly.
Ying Luohong remained silent. After a full two minutes, she disconnected the communication. She didn’t answer Tang Zhenhua’s question.
Looking at the soul communicator on his wrist, Tang Zhenhua smiled self-deprecatingly. He harbored no resentment toward Ying Luohong. He understood her personality too well. She was someone who would not compromise easily, a person who couldn’t be swayed. In her entire life, she didn’t know what compromise meant.
But he liked her that way. What could he do? He had liked her for a lifetime.
Let it be.
He knew very well that entering the Seven Saints Abyss was dangerous. Once someone’s spirit collapsed, turning into a lunatic or a fool was not out of the question.
However, he still had to go. Only by doing so could he perhaps mend the cracks in her heart.
Two days passed quickly.
Except for Lan Xuanyu and his seven companions, the other members of the Star Wars Experimental Class were taken away. It was unknown where they were going for the character assessment, and Lan Xuanyu and his team had no prior hints about the content of the assessment.
Comparatively, with the information about the Seven Saints Abyss, Lan Xuanyu and his team felt they had a slight advantage. At least, they knew what the assessment would involve.
Gathered together, led by Xiao Qi, the seven of them arrived at the shores of the Sea God’s Lake. To their surprise, there was a boat parked by the Sea God’s Lake, not large, but it was the first time they had seen a boat on the Sea God’s Lake.
Could it be that to enter the Seven Saints Abyss, one had to take a boat?
There were already people on the boat – Tang Zhenhua, Ying Luohong, and Wang Tianyu, only these three.
Seeing them arrive, Wang Tianyu waved his hand, saying, “Get on the boat.”
Boarding the small boat, with a sweep of Wang Tianyu’s sleeve, the boat naturally glided towards the center of the Sea God’s Lake.
Having studied at Shrek Academy for six years, this was the first time Lan Xuanyu and his team were heading towards the center of the lake. Normally, even when cultivating inside the Sea God’s Lake, they stayed at the lake’s edge.
Feeling the moist air and the increasingly rich life force, they couldn’t help but feel excited. There was even a hint of nervousness.
The Seven Saints Abyss – what kind of place could it be inside the Sea God’s Lake?
The Sea God’s Lake was vast, but under the influence of Wang Tianyu’s soul power, the boat’s speed was both fast and stable. Gradually, the trunk of the towering Eternal Tree came into view.
Only when one was truly close to the Eternal Tree could one feel how massive it was. The enormous trunk’s diameter was beyond measurement by sight alone.
As they got closer, they could see that on the surface of the Eternal Tree, there were many twinkling green lights – those were life spirits. The abundant vitality was so intense that even the lake water around them carried a faint green light mist.
How rich this life force was! Lan Xuanyu felt his bloodline vortex crazily operating, rapidly absorbing everything. His aura instantly became more abundant.
If he could cultivate near the Eternal Tree, his strength would surely improve at a much faster rate. Even at the edge of the trunk, the vitality was already so concentrated – what about the Eternal Sky City? How much more would the life energy condense there?
Lan Xuanyu felt this most profoundly. As someone with an affinity for life, the abundant life force around the Eternal Tree felt very familiar and comforting. A faint green halo surrounded him, clearly more prominent than the others.
“No wonder he’s chosen by the Eternal Tree.” Wang Tianyu noticed the situation on Lan Xuanyu and couldn’t help but comment.
Lan Xuanyu was recognized by the Eternal Tree, the successor of the next generation in the School of Life. Being favored by the Eternal Tree was natural. Lan Xuanyu would undoubtedly receive special treatment in the Seven Saints Abyss, given its close connection to the life energy of the Eternal Tree.
Finally, they arrived near the Eternal Tree, and the boat began to move sideways. At this moment, what Lan Xuanyu most wanted to do was to go up to the top of the Eternal Tree and touch it. He could vaguely sense that the Eternal Tree seemed to have a special call for him, a feeling of intimacy that made his mind stable. It seemed that whatever assessments lay ahead were insignificant.
The boat stopped at this moment.
Wang Tianyu, Ying Luohong, Xiao Qi, and Tang Zhenhua’s gazes all fell on Lan Xuanyu and his team.
The mentality of the seven was good, and their mental qualities were strong. Although they were about to face the unknown, they remained calm.
Wang Tianyu said, “I believe your teacher has already briefed you. The key to the Seven Saints Abyss test is to stay true to yourselves. The rest depends on you. Passing this test will mean that you have passed the threshold for becoming Shrek’s Seven Devils. Get ready to enter.”
As he spoke, he came to the bow of the boat, bowed respectfully towards the front of the lake, and said, “Junior Wang Tianyu, with the candidates for Shrek Academy’s Shrek Seven Devils – Lan Xuanyu, Tang Yuge, Yuanen Huihui, Bai Xiuxiu, Lan Mengqin, Liu Feng, and Qian Lei – have come to undergo the assessment. I request the seven seniors to open the Seven Saints Abyss and allow them to participate in the assessment.”
With his words, the water around the boat seemed to boil suddenly, bubbles rising one after another. Following that, a small vortex appeared on the lake’s surface.
The vortex began to spin rapidly, expanding as it rotated, emitting a faint colored glow. The colors were peculiar, seemingly irresistibly attractive to the eyes. It felt like it could absorb one’s soul.
Wang Tianyu once again bowed respectfully and then turned to face Lan Xuanyu and his team, saying, “You can enter now. Jump into the vortex; the assessment begins.”
Lan Xuanyu took a deep breath. As the team captain, he walked to Wang Tianyu’s side first. After bowing to Wang Tianyu, he then deeply saluted in the direction of the Seven Saints Abyss before leaping into it.
Strangely, when he jumped into the lake, not a single ripple was stirred; his body simply melted into the vortex, disappearing without a sound.
One by one, the other six followed, leaping into the lake and disappearing without a trace.
Only when they were all gone did Wang Tianyu’s expression become somewhat tense. Among these seven, the one he was least worried about was Lan Xuanyu. After all, Lan Xuanyu was chosen by the Eternal Tree. The judgment of the Eternal Tree would not be wrong; he was the successor of the School of Life. In the Seven Saints Abyss, Lan Xuanyu would undoubtedly receive special treatment since the existence of the Seven Saints Abyss was closely tied to the massive life energy of the Eternal Tree.
