Chapter 671: The Gu Yuan Academy Spot, Heading to the Forbidden Territory

"Did he really say that exactly?"

Fa Tian Daoist looked at Wu Yifan, who had returned to report before him, with a thoughtful expression.

Hearing this, Wu Yifan nodded heavily in affirmation: "That's right, Domain Lord. I think this young man values loyalty and righteousness. If we take him under our wing, I believe he will surely prove to be of great use in the future."

"In that case, let's wait. After all, this venerable one isn't short on time."

Fa Tian Daoist waved his hand, agreeing to Wu Yidao's request.

Seeing this, Wu Yifan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He then stood up to take his leave, intending to go back and attempt a Breakthrough to the eleventh level.

But just at that moment, Fa Tian Daoist spoke up: "By the way, Yifan, you should be close to breaking through to the eleventh level too, right? Since that's the case, this venerable one plans to recommend you to Gu Yuan Academy. What do you think?"

Hearing the Domain Lord's words, a light shone in Wu Yifan's eyes. Having been in the Forbidden Realm for so long, he naturally knew what Gu Yuan Academy was.

From his understanding, Gu Yuan Academy was founded by an eighteenth-level forbidden great power. It held an extraordinary status throughout the entire Forbidden Realm. If he could enroll in Gu Yuan Academy, then within the Forbidden Realm, unless the Lord of Forbidden himself took action, no one would dare lay a hand on him.

The entry conditions for Gu Yuan Academy were extremely stringent. Only forbidden beings of a certain status could join. Originally, Wu Yifan didn't think he had any chance of entering Gu Yuan Academy, but he never expected Fa Tian Daoist to say he wanted to recommend him for entry.

Although Wu Yifan was extremely excited inside, he still spoke with some hesitation: "This subordinate thanks the Domain Lord. However, from what this subordinate knows, the conditions for entering Gu Yuan Academy seem extremely strict. If the Domain Lord wishes to send this subordinate in, wouldn't it be too troublesome?"

Hearing this, Fa Tian Daoist waved his hand, sighed, and said with a somewhat melancholy tone: "It's not really troublesome. Back then, by chance, this venerable one became acquainted with a high-ranking member of Gu Yuan Academy. That person promised this venerable one an Opportunity to enter Gu Yuan Academy. However, this venerable one's talent is lacking. Entering Gu Yuan Academy would just be a waste. But you are the most terrifying Genius this venerable one has seen among so many. Therefore, this venerable one will give this Opportunity to you. I hope you do not disappoint my expectations."

Hearing Fa Tian Daoist's words, Wu Yifan felt a complex mix of emotions inside. He never expected Fa Tian Daoist to treat him so well, which significantly changed Wu Yifan's view of him.

In the next moment, Wu Yifan thanked Fa Tian Daoist heavily: "In that case, I thank the Domain Lord greatly."

"Alright, you may leave now. Leave the rest to this venerable one to handle."

"Yes."

With that, Wu Yifan directly left.

After Wu Yifan left, Fa Tian Daoist thought for a moment, then took out a token from his Storage Ring. It was carved with numerous strange patterns. By simply injecting a bit of Forbidden Power into it, it would emit a faint, eerie glow.

And this was the token that high-ranking member of Gu Yuan Academy had given him back then. If he encountered a suitable person, he could directly give the token to them.

But Fa Tian Daoist did not plan to give it to Wu Yifan so soon, at least not now.

According to Fa Tian Daoist's thinking, he would wait until the day Wu Yifan broke through to the eleventh level, then give him the token. By then, Wu Yifan would have a bit more confidence when heading to Gu Yuan Academy.

After all, Wu Yifan was the Prodigy he had set his sights on. He had placed all his bets on Wu Yifan. He hoped Wu Yifan would not let him down.

On the other side, Wu Yifan was unaware of this matter. After returning to his own Grotto-heaven, he waved his hand and set up a Restriction to isolate everything.

"I never expected Fa Tian Daoist to have a spot for entering Gu Yuan Academy. This trip wasn't in vain after all."

Wu Yifan thought to himself. Originally, he planned to Cultivate to the twelfth level and then find an Opportunity to attach himself to an even more powerful forbidden being. He never expected this turn of events. Since there was now an Opportunity to enter Gu Yuan Academy, he naturally wouldn't miss it.

Thinking of something, Wu Yifan couldn't help but murmur to himself: "It's said that Gu Yuan Academy is the most powerful force in the entire Forbidden Realm, and it even has intricate connections with the Lord of Forbidden. I hope this doesn't lead to directly facing the Lord of Forbidden."

Although this matter carried great risk, it also held immense Opportunity. If handled well, he might even become a confidant of the Lord of Forbidden, thereby gaining access to his weaknesses. Best of all, he might even be able to defeat the Lord of Forbidden.

Not dwelling on it further, Wu Yifan began seclusion to attempt his Breakthrough to the eleventh level. No matter what, a powerful backer is ultimately just a backer. A backer can become unreliable. One's own strength is what truly matters.

In the blink of an eye, ten years passed.

Wu Yidao hadn't made any significant Breakthrough, still only at the eighth level, Early Stage. Although his true Realm was God-Lord Peak, with strength comparable to a seventeenth-level forbidden being, the power of the forbidden and the Divine Realm were different. Even Wu Yidao couldn't achieve a major Breakthrough within ten years.

Just then, a message came flying towards Wu Yidao. Wu Yidao reached out and caught it. It was a message from Sect Master Meteor Daoist, instructing Wu Yidao to gather and head to the Forbidden Territory.

"It's time to settle this."

Wu Yidao stood up, his gaze unwavering.

After coming out from the Forbidden Territory, he would leave the Starfall Sect and head to the Domain Lord Realm. Before that, he needed to handle all his affairs.

Not long after, when Wu Yidao arrived deep within the Starfall Sect, he saw the sect's eight-level powerholders gathered together. Excluding Wu Yidao, there were a full nine of them.

Seeing Wu Yidao arrive, Meteor Daoist spoke with a calm expression: "Since everyone is here, let's go."

With that, Meteor Daoist flew towards the north, outside the Starfall Sect. Seeing this, Wu Yidao and the others quickly followed.

Although there were things like flying boats in the Forbidden Realm, within the Starfall Sect, even the most precious flying boat's speed was far inferior to that of Wu Yidao and the other eight-level powerholders. So, it was better to just fly.

The journey took another year. When Wu Yidao and the others finally stopped, they saw an immensely huge Forbidden Territory gate standing before them. Even standing before the Forbidden Territory gate, Wu Yidao and the others seemed as insignificant as ants.

"This place is our destination, the Void Forbidden Realm."
