CHAPTER 449 REACHING THE DESTINATION

"Humph! He is so arrogant! Does he really think he can do whatever he wants to just because he's a

member of the Phoenix tribe? I will beat the shit out of him sooner or later," Soar also exclaimed

angrily.

If it were not for the Chaotic Fire Zone, all of them would probably have been burnt into ashes by

Lanny's attack.

Later, they went back inside the airship and continued with their journey towards the Oriental College.

They did not run into any trouble for the rest of the trip. Thanks to the airship, they successfully reached

the realm where the Oriental College was located within a month and a half. It was called the Oriental

Realm.

The Oriental Realm was one of the largest realms in the Eastern Land. It was also located in the

central area of the Eastern Land.

Once they entered the territory of the Oriental Realm, they felt thicker spiritual energy of heaven and

earth around them.

In this world, the more distant a place was, the less spiritual energy it contained. Because of that

situation, it was less likely to find a strong warrior in such remote places. Powerful warriors usually

appeared in the large and central places where there was thicker spiritual energy.

"It feels so good! I can tell that the spiritual energy here is at least five times more powerful than that in

the Realm of Wildness. It really lives up to its fame and is a place where demi-spiritual emperors and

spiritual emperors gather." After sighing in shock, Soar took a deep breath so he could feel the thick

spiritual energy.

"When you grow more powerful, you can go to the Middle Land for improvement. You will feel thicker

spiritual energy there. I can assure you that you will be showered by the spiritual energy every second,"

Tina said.

"Tina, how large is the Middle Land?" Ricky asked. He could not help growing more curious about it

upon hearing Tina's assurances.

"Well, that is a good question. Unfortunately, I have no idea either. Anyway, it is larger than the total

area of the other four parts," Tina replied as she shrugged her shoulders.

"So, is it highly possible that the Phoenix tribe is located in the Middle Land, then?" Ricky asked.

"That's not the case. Ancient tribes, such as the Phoenix tribe, usually create their own world that is

separate from everything else," Tina replied. "What's more, the entrance to their realm is extremely

secret. Even a strong warrior would be unlikely to be able to find the entrance.

Besides, the Phoenix tribe has super powerful arrays guarding their realm. They are so powerful that

no one alone can challenge them in the whole Misty South.

As a matter of fact, no other tribe would even dare to challenge them either."

Both Ricky and Soar fell into silence upon hearing Tina's explanation. They did not realize that the

Phoenix tribe was so powerful until just then.

Ricky could not help questioning himself. Even if he became a strong warrior, would he be able to

challenge the Phoenix tribe alone? Could he successfully take Grace away from them?

His self-doubt did not last for long. Immediately, his eyes grew determined again. He had regained his

spiritual meridian and owned powerful zones. He was his own tribe and he could fight alone!

He admitted to himself that the Phoenix tribe was powerful, but so what? Maybe no one had ever

challenged the Phoenix tribe before, but so what? He made up his mind that he was going to be the

very first one to throw down the gauntlet and challenge them!

"Tina, what about the Dragon tribe, then?" Soar asked at that point in time.

"In ancient times, the Dragon tribe was able to fight against the Phoenix tribe. However, as time went

by, the Dragon tribe slowly grew weaker and weaker. There was a fierce fight a long time ago, and the

Dragon tribe lost many strong warriors in that fight," Tina explained.

"So, since that battle, the members of the Dragon tribe have been hiding themselves. Nowadays, even

the most elderly seniors in my family have no idea of the Dragon tribe's current location."

Soar turned mute upon hearing the sad news.

Tina knew why Soar suddenly became so frustrated. She already knew that Soar had dragon blood

running in his veins. She also knew that he was a member of the Dragon tribe.

"Soar, the past is the past, so just let it go! You have to keep that in mind because you are a Great

Dragon now! You will revive the Dragon tribe on your own because that is your great responsibility!"

Seeing Soar grow silent, Ricky sent him a message of reassurance telepathically.

"Yes, Ricky, I know that. Thanks for your kind reminder," Soar replied telepathically.

They stopped talking about that topic for a little while. Later, they kept moving forward according to the

map Zenith had given them. According to the map, the Oriental College was located in the largest

mountains of the Oriental Realm—they were called the Oriental Mountains.

At the foot of the mountains, there was a city called the Oriental City, and that was their destination. A

month and a half later, the selection competition of the Oriental College would be held in the Oriental

City.

This city was a temporary place to stay at for the warriors who came for the selection.

"Let's go to the Oriental City!" Ricky said.

The Oriental Mountains were so huge they extended thousands of miles. They looked like a giant

dragon entrenching on the whole Eastern Land. They were magnificent and still as if time did not affect

them at all.

Faced with such giant and marvelous mountains, even a spiritual emperor would be made to feel

insignificant.

Ricky, Tina, and Soar felt like they were extremely insignificant as they approached the Oriental

Mountains. It seemed like everything they did would be meaningless in front of the ancient mountains.

They could see the shadows of warriors fly towards the Oriental City one after another. Ricky watched

them go by in interest. The innate spiritual kings were flying through the air without any help while the

demi-immortals were flying with the help of their spiritual energy wings.

One could see that there were also demi-immortal beasts with various powerful bloodlines heading for

the city. They were led by the spiritual king beasts who had already transformed into their human

forms.

The selection competition was not only applicable to human warriors, but also beasts.

"So, this is something that can happen in a large realm! The mountains are so grand," Soar sighed in

excitement at first when they finally arrived at the Oriental Mountains. "I have a gut feeling that I will

make a name for myself at the Oriental College!"

"Save those brave words for after you are admitted into the Oriental College," Tina joked with a smile

upon hearing Soar's excited claim.

The warriors and beasts passing by paused for a moment and cast a glance at Soar. After sparing a

glance at him, they continued on without trouble. They did not feel very surprised to hear such an

arrogant claim. Countless geniuses had said such similar words in the past each time the Oriental

College held the selection competition. Rare people had the opportunity to be admitted by the college

and started their journey to become a spiritual emperor apart from those geniuses with extremely

powerful strength and bloodlines. copyrighted © content.

To the east of the mountains lay the Oriental City.

It was an extremely large city, so people could only see the front part of the city and had no idea how

far the whole city stretched across the land. The city also had an ancient and marvelous aura. The

Oriental City was already there when the Oriental College had been established a long time ago, so the

city was as old as the college.

There were numerous warriors, beasts, and spiritual king beasts coming and going from the huge gate.

That was because there was an explicit provision that one must walk in the city no matter whether they

were an innate spiritual king or a powerful spiritual king beast. One would be deemed to be challenging

the authority of the Oriental College if one attempted to fly in.

That rule did not apply to a demi-spiritual emperor, however.

Ricky, Tina, and Soar paid thirty gold coins at the gate for permission to enter.

After they entered the city, their mouths could not help gaping open slightly in surprise. Everything was

so marvelous, and numerous people were wandering around on the streets.

"Hurry up! We have to make a hotel reservation as early as possible. More warriors are heading here

now. We may even be unable to find a place to stay if we don't hurry." Ricky heard passersby say in

worry as they rushed through the street.

"It seems that we'd better find a place to stay now," Ricky suggested.

Soar and Tina nodded in agreement. Then, they went to the busiest street to look for a hotel that had

rooms available.

"Hey, do you know the Luxurious Chamber of Commerce? I've heard that it is going to hold an

important auction in the city five days from now. I've heard that there will be various precious treasures

being sold at that time!" Ricky and his friends heard someone whisper.

"An auction?" Ricky and Soar blurted out at the same time before they exchanged looks with each

other. Both of them became excited at that news. Their eyes lit up immediately.
