Emperor’s Domination

of its own.

Because of this, some believed that he originated from Study Hall, not Hundred Halls.
He was meant to become a core member of the academy yet he chose to leave.
This resulted in animosity.
Of course, there were just rumors.

Though the academy expected nothing in return, some top masters had shown their gratitude in various ways. Most chose to donate precious treasures or their merit laws.
Many conquerors have done so and this made the academy even stronger.

“What about that place?” Li Qiye looked up at a bright radiance above the academy.

It seemed to be a supreme kingdom hidden in the crevices of the sky.
Occasionally, amazing visual phenomena could be seen.
Some might say that this was the very origin of the academy.

“I don’t know, but this whole region is an independent world.
Look over there, we just need to cross that mountain range and it’ll be Hundred Halls and Study Hall.
A bit further will be the place for ancestors.”

She paused for a bit and looked up: “But what you’re asking about is a mystery.
I haven’t been there before but I heard that it was the very end of the academy.
Do you know about the invasion of Celestial Court? The mythical palm came from that light and killed emperors.”

“Mythical palm.” Li Qiye repeated before closing his eyes to feel the light.

“That’s Abroad Hall over there, it’s the entrance to the academy as well.” She pointed at the buildings next to the mountain range, forming a great city.

The academy itself was massive.
Traveling from Abroad to Hundred and Study Hall required traversing a considerable distance.
All of this made up the independent world of the academy.

The entrance had two statues.
No, it was actually three.
One was situated to the left while the other had two separate figures – one male and one female.

The man was gallant and powerful; the woman looked exquisite and wise.
All in all, the extraordinary auras depicted left spectators in awe.

The statue to the left was a young man with a carefree and confident expression.
His weapon of choice was a sky halberd.

“Wonderfully built, these auras have lasted for a long time.” Li Qiye praised.

“The statues celebrate great contributors to the academy.” Yunyun explained: “She pointed at the statue to the left and said: “He is South Emperor, the protector who stopped an army of one hundred thousand cultivators from Celestial Court.”

“South Emperor.” Li Qiye said quietly.

That battle had earned a spot in the history scrolls.
Even members of The Ancient Race couldn’t help but praise him while standing before his statue.
