I Truly Am The Villian - Chapter 2302
Chapter 2302: Chapter 2301: Spirits Lurking, Academy in Crisis
But it can also be seen that the safety and danger levels of the Ghost God Realm are both very high.
After Xu Zimei arrived through the air, it didn’t take much time for him to reach the Ghost God Academy.
As mentioned before, the Ghost God Academy is also the place where Thousand Calamities Doomsday resides.
It also recruits talents from the entire Ghost God Realm.
It is said that the Nine Mountain Ghosts under Thousand Calamities Doomsday emerged from these talents, eventually reaching their current status.
The Ghost God Realm is divided into the Ghost Domain and the God Domain.
The Ghost God Academy is located between the two realms, serving as a harmonizing presence.
However, not just anyone is qualified to enter the Ghost God Academy.
To enter the Ghost God Academy, one must first pass assessments from various places, advancing level by level.
Only after standing out from countless people do they qualify for the academy’s assessment.
Note that this is just to qualify.
Only those who pass the Ghost God Academy can truly enter here.
As Xu Zimei arrived, he happened to encounter the recruitment event of the Ghost God Academy.
Talented Disciples from various places gathered, numbering at least tens of thousands.
And those who came to witness this once-in-a-millennium assessment numbered in the millions.
It’s known that the Ghost God Academy only recruits disciples once every millennium.
And in a person’s lifetime, how many such millenniums can there be?
So, during many people’s lives, they hope for the chance to participate in such a grand event.
……
The Ghost God Academy is not just a simple academy.
A total of nine cities are built around it, surrounding the academy in a nine-star formation.
These nine cities cover at least tens of millions of square meters, occupying one-tenth of the entire Ghost God Realm.
One-tenth may not sound like much.
But this is one-tenth of an entire realm!
……
Even now, such a large area is still crowded with people.
Everyone is gathered here.
Waiting for the gates of the Ghost God Academy to open.
In the past, this was one of the rare moments when Thousand Calamities Doomsday would appear.
Everyone hoped to see the face of this ruler.
Xu Zimei stood among the crowd, surrounded by an invisible force, making everyone who approached him get bounced away.
“Did you hear? This year, Lord Thousand Calamities won’t make an appearance at the assessment,” someone said.
“How unfortunate, I was hoping to see Lord Thousand Calamities. The stability of our Ghost God Realm is all thanks to him.”
It’s known that initially, the Ghost Spirits and Divine Spirits ran rampant in the Ghost God Realm.
At that time, the cultivators living on this land were struggling to survive, merely food in the mouths of gods and ghosts.
Later, the arrival of Thousand Calamities Doomsday brought order here.
Ensuring all gods and ghosts settled down peacefully.
So now, as long as cultivators stay out of the god and ghost territories, their safety won’t be a significant issue.
“I heard that this time, the recruitment standards of Ghost God Academy are more stringent,” someone else remarked.
“Isn’t it? This time, the Bis Mountain Ghost is the chief examiner, and he is impartial and doesn’t tolerate even a grain of sand in the eye.”
“If this is the case, won’t it be difficult to cheat this time?”
“Even pulling strings won’t work, everyone must be on edge, relying only on true skills.”
……
As Xu Zimei walked down the street, he could hear everyone discussing the recruitment.
Which talents arrived, or where there was a conflict.
There was no need to deliberately inquire as he could clearly understand what was happening here.
Xu Zimei casually found an inn.
The inns here were all packed, teeming with people.
Xu Zimei found a seat by the window and casually tossed out the person who was eating there.
The person was about to confront Xu Zimei, but with a wave of Xu Zimei’s hand, the person was teleported away through space.
……
“Shopkeeper, serve the best wine and dishes!”
It’s been a long time since Xu Zimei tasted the flavors of the mortal world.
Perhaps from a long time ago, he no longer worried about hunger, and sometimes eating was just about savoring the delicacies.
While dining, Xu Zimei overheard some different news.
News unrelated to this recruitment.
“Have you heard? The Gods and Ghosts of the Eight Directions have been restless recently, as if something major is about to happen.”
The Eight Directional Ghosts and Gods is a collective name for the Ghost Spirits and Divine Spirits in the Ghost God Realm.
Because they once made a pact with Thousand Calamities Doomsday, they must obey his orders and not harm life indiscriminately.
So over the years, people have rarely feared the Eight Directional Ghosts and Gods.
“What do you mean? The Eight Directional Spirits and Lord Thousand Calamities have an agreement, do they dare to violate it?”
“To be honest, I’ve heard a little gossip, not sure if it’s true.”
“It’s said that the reason Lord Thousand Calamities won’t appear at this recruitment is because he is severely injured and unable to appear.”
“Otherwise, he fears that the Eight Directional Ghosts and Gods might scheme during his weakened state.”
“Nonsense! Lord Thousand Calamities is invincible, how could he possibly be injured?”
“I don’t know, I’ve just overheard it. Please take it with a grain of salt.”
The man speaking was a middle-aged man in a blue robe.
His eyes were cunning like a fox, seeming to shout intentionally while drinking with others to draw attention.
Xu Zimei savored the sumptuous dishes in front of him.
He slowly rotated the wine glass in his hand.
After finishing his meal and watching the middle-aged man leave the inn, Xu Zimei unhurriedly followed.
This middle-aged man was very cautious; he vanished from Xu Zimei’s sight at an alleyway.
In the next moment, the middle-aged man reappeared silently behind Xu Zimei.
Holding an iron chain, he aimed to bind Xu Zimei’s neck.
“Kid, you’ve been following me for quite a while, are you seeking death?”
The middle-aged man sneered coldly.
However, in the next moment, the chain in his hand was suddenly severed, and his smile froze.
Xu Zimei extended his hand, and an invisible force lifted the middle-aged man into the air.
“You… you,” the middle-aged man seemed shocked at the sudden turn of events, not expecting Xu Zimei’s strength.
“Please spare me, I was blind to your strength,” he pleaded.
“You’re a Ghost God, why are you spreading rumors here?” Xu Zimei asked calmly.
Indeed, the person before him was neither human nor from any other race.
He belonged to the legendary Eight Directional Ghosts and Gods.
Yet, even among gods and ghosts, strength varies.
The Ghost God in front of him seemed ordinary, not a major power, more like a disruptive spirit.
Hearing Xu Zimei’s words, the man’s expression turned uneasy.
