The Supreme God of Martial Arts

Outside of the school, the large square was quickly filling as people poured in.

The crowd was made up of more than 600 new students that had joined the Blue Dragon School.

Among them, 400 new students cfrom the East Mainland, the West Desert, the South Mountain, and the North Plateau. The

other students traveled from the Middle Pilgrim Land.

In addition, the new students brought along sof their own followers. The excitement to go to the Astral World was so large that

no one could turn down the opportunity.

To gain an advantage, sof the new students brought five or six followers with them.

This caused the square to swell with over a thousand people. They pushed and shoved, trying to gain selbow-space as they

waited for the journey to begin.

The commotion of a giant warship appearing over their heads and descending was nearly covered up by all the chatter. It parked in

the center of the square and everyone nearby had to scatter.

Taking it in, they realized the ship was a golden, mighty warship. Waves of energy rolled off of it and caused the people's hair to

ripple. As a preventative measure, several attacking and defending arrays had been placed on it.

As soon as sof the students tried to approach the ship and touch it, the elders and five stewards arrived at the stime.

With a wave, they summoned the new students to enter the warship.

After several minutes, everyone was boarded and the golden warship flew into the air and turned into a golden light, speeding

away from the Blue Dragon School.

The diameter of the warship was as large as an island. On the deck, students all stood, pointing excitedly at the mountains and

rivers so far below them.

Austin explored the warship, keeping track of the people he encountered. So far, he had cacross many students from the East

Mainland.

There were also disciples of the top sects such as the three holy lands, the three prominent clans, and others.

There were also a few disciples from the FlHoly Land and those disciples from the sects which were in the alliance with the

FlHoly Land.

As the warship began to ascend, other giant ships flew out from the White Tiger School, the Rose Finch School, and the Black

Tortoise School of the Divine Continent and joined them.

The four warships were heading in the sdirection.

"Wait!

The warship is still ascending!

What's going on?"

one of the students exclaimed, causing the others to notice.

Their eyes looked up and realized that they were high in the sky.

Looking at the ground, everything appeared as small as ants.

None of them knew why they were flying up but sof them could have a guess.

Before they could start asking questions, an elder made his way through the crowd.

"You've figured it out, haven't you?

The Astral World isn't a continent. It's a space in the depths of the outer region.

The Astral World can sometimes be peaceful and safe, but sometimes it can be violent and dangerous.

Over the past year, the masters in our four schools have determined that the Astral World is peaceful once again, so we decide to

allow you to go in and improve yourself through trials.

You should seize the opportunity,"

the elder explained, causing their eyes to grow even wider.

"The Astral World is in the outer region?"

They had expected the Astral World to be on the ground.

Although, as cultivators, they could fly freely in the air using their strength, no one was brave enough to explore the sky so high

up.

It was said that the outer region was so vast that it was only made up of cold and dark space. It was even further than the nearest

stars.

If the distance wasn't enough to discourage a cultivator, the unknown dangers that lurked in the outer region were — violent

winds, meteorites, and air pressure.

The only cultivators that were brave enough were the great masters at the Immortal Transforming Realm.

It was unheard of for anyone else to attempt it.

Now, the golden warship from the Blue Dragon School was heading for the outer region, and the new students were beyond thrilled

to experience it together.

Gradually, the golden warship got further and further away from the continent.

It was dark and cold in the outer region and even the places with stars were desolate.

"Everyone, be careful and vigilant! There are all kinds of unknown dangers out there. Stand in the middle of the warships and stay

close together!"

an elder warned.

Feeling worried, everyone followed his order and squeezed together in the middle of the warship.

Just in time, they all got where they needed to be. All around them, wind began blowing violently.

It whipped their clothing and stretched their skin as it howled ferociously.

Swish!

The students had to hold onto each other as the gusts of wind grew in size and power. They cfrom all directions, rocking the

warship at their feet.

Several people screamed and clawed at each other in panic.

With the continuous raging wind, the space was split, leaving dark cracks everywhere.

Looking around anxiously, none of the students knew what to do.

Fortunately, with the help of the two elders and five stewards, the golden warship activated an array to attack and defend.

Also, it helped that the warship was heading in the direction where the wind was the weakest, avoiding most of it.

After a few minutes, the golden warship emerged safely from the strong wind layer.

However, they weren't safe for long. Immediately afterward, there was a layer of meteorites. They were as big as stars and shot

towards them like cannonballs. They bounced off the warship like ping-pong balls.

Once again, with the joint efforts of two elders and five stewards, the golden warship passed through the layer of meteorite safely.

A few seconds later, they entered the atmosphere of the gravity layer.

It felt like a giant was trying to squeeze and crush them in between its fingers.

They relied on the speed of the warship to get them through before they were crumbled.

"Now, we have officially entered the depths of the outer region,"

an elder said to the new students and followers.

Throughout the turmoil, the students and followers had becso shaken that they were as white as ghosts.

Sof the more timid people had even fainted.

Austin was shocked to witness the other students so afraid.

The outer region was extremely dangerous and

Austin understood that

if it hadn't been for the fact that the golden warship of the Blue Dragon School was so powerful, the people on it would have been

dead.

"Is this the outer region?"

Now that it was calm, the new students and followers had approached the deck again and were examining the beautiful scenery

ahead of them.

Everything was so green and bright, and it looked like unexplored land.

The endless space was dotted with shining stars that twinkled back in their eyes.

The only part of the outer region that seemed tainted was the presence of numerous skeletons. There were human beings’, diabolic

beasts’, and rare species’ bones that they had never seen or heard of. All of them were floating in the air around them.

Among them were many broken weapons and flags that were faintly emitting power.

"It is said that it was once a battlefield, and so many bones and incomplete weapons were left here.

But remember, don't touch them. We will be in great danger if we do so,"

an elder warned when he saw how surprised and eager everyone looked.
