Wei Chen and Shaohuang God King introduced themselves, and they could sense that the person before them was no ordinary young individual; he had likely lived for hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of years.
Sure enough, after their introductions, Dongfang Ming stated, "I have been cultivating for four million years. In our Ethereal World, I am considered quite a master. How long have you two friends been cultivating to receive the summons from Right Holy Academy?"
"I don't really know how long I've been cultivating; it seems like it's been over ten million years," Shaohuang God King replied lightly.
However, from this moment on, in the Witch Clan's Great Land, the title Divine King was no longer suitable; his name was now Shaohou.
Wei Chen frowned and thought for a moment. "I can't really count how many years I've cultivated; it seems like a few hundred years?"
"Uh... a few hundred years? Brother, are you joking?" Dongfang Ming looked at Wei Chen in shock, as if he were a monster.
Wei Chen said, "I'm not joking; my experience has indeed been just a few hundred years."
"A genius! Brother, just a few hundred years and you can receive a summons from the Witch Clan's Great Land? That's simply incredible!" Dongfang Ming exclaimed in astonishment.
Wei Chen smiled and asked, "Dongfang Ming, let's just call each other by our names from now on; it feels more comfortable that way. As for the Witch Clan's Great Land, I'm still not very familiar with it. Our arrival here was somewhat special. Right Saint was in seclusion in our lower Spatial Plane. When he awakened, he happened to encounter us and seemed to take a liking to us, so he brought us here. It's really that simple."
"I see! You two are quite lucky. I wasn't that fortunate. In my world, I am a top master and finally got the chance to be summoned by Right Holy Academy. Our world is a vassal force under the Witch Clan's Great Land, and almost every million years, only one person gets selected by Right Holy Academy. Even after arriving here, it's still very difficult to truly join Right Holy Academy. The selection process for new students is perilous; only those who survive until the end can join," Dongfang Ming said enviously about Wei Chen and Shaohou's opportunities.
After a brief pause, Dongfang Ming suddenly asked, "Did Right Saint personally bring you two here?"
"That's right," Wei Chen nodded.
Dongfang Ming showed an envious expression and gave Wei Chen and Shaohou a thumbs up. "That's great! It seems certain that you will join Right Holy Academy."
"It's not that simple; Right Saint left us here without further instructions. We still need to work hard for the new student selection in two months," Wei Chen replied with a smile.
From Dongfang Ming's words, Wei Chen gradually understood more about the relationship between the Witch Clan's Great Land and its subordinate worlds.
Witch Clan The Great Six is the focal point, a place yearned for by those from subordinate worlds. Only the strongest among them have the chance to arrive at Witch Clan Great Six and participate in the academy's selection. The world where Dongfang Ming resides falls under the jurisdiction of Right Sage, so their participation is in the Right Holy Academy.
The selection process at Right Holy Academy is extremely rigorous. First, top figures from various worlds come to Witch Clan Great Six to compete alongside the Young Talent there.
In the realm of top-tier powerhouses, age is almost a non-concept. Regardless of how many years one has lived, with the right mindset, they can embody any form they desire.
Thus, upon arriving at Witch Clan Great Six, everyone appears youthful, even those like Shaohou, who have lived for millions of years, are considered young.
“Dongfang Ming, how many people are here for the selection? How many new students will Right Holy Academy admit? We are newcomers and know nothing; I hope you can enlighten us,” Wei Chen politely inquired of Dongfang Ming.
Dongfang Ming nodded and explained, “As far as I know, there are already over a thousand people waiting for selection at Right Holy Academy. Additionally, there are two to three thousand locals from Witch Clan on Right Sage's territory who will also participate. Based on past probabilities, only about thirty individuals will ultimately gain entry into Right Holy Academy, making the elimination rate very high.”
“Only thirty? Does that mean the rest will die?” Wei Chen exclaimed in shock. Shaohou was also taken aback; this was outrageous!
With three to four thousand people competing for around thirty spots, that’s a one percent chance?
Dongfang Ming sighed and said, “Yes, the rest will become casualties; those who survive will become disciples of Right Holy Academy.”
Wei Chen felt as if he had been misled by Right Sage. It wasn’t exactly deception; it was just that at the time, Right Sage had described how he would definitely learn the Witch Clan Secret Technique and be able to return to help in the Endless Divine Realm within a set timeframe!
However, Wei Chen was not afraid. He had no means to deal with someone as profound as Right Sage, but he felt somewhat confident against other strong individuals from different worlds. After all, the level of the Spatial Plane in the Endless Divine Realm was not weak. Moreover, with Shaohou's exceptional swordsmanship, there shouldn’t be too many issues.
Curious about Dongfang Ming's true strength, Wei Chen wanted to test it but found no reason to do so.
With a sigh, Dongfang Ming continued, “Realistically speaking, among those from other worlds who come to Witch Clan Great Six, only an extremely small number will learn the Witch Clan Secret Technique. Just for this selection alone, perhaps three or four thousand will compete, and after elimination, maybe thirty or forty will enter Right Holy Academy. I believe that more than half of them will be from Witch Clan.”
“Brother, is it worth risking your life for such slim odds?” Wei Chen asked calmly.
Dongfang Ming smiled lightly and said, "There's nothing unworthy about it. Aren't we all just people who have cultivated to the extreme in our own worlds, unable to make any further progress? Simply put, we are tired of living. We are all tired of life. Since that's the case, why not come to the Witch Clan's Great Land and give it a try? Who knows, we might get the opportunity to learn the Witch Clan Secret Technique. Not only would it benefit us, but our entire world could also prosper."
Wei Chen frowned and asked, "What does that have to do with our world?"
Dongfang Ming looked at Wei Chen with a hint of disbelief and asked, "Brother Wei Chen, do you genuinely not know or are you just fooling me?"
"I truly don't know. We just met Right Saint and know nothing about the situation in the worlds under the Witch Clan's Great Land," Wei Chen explained awkwardly.
Seeing the sincerity on Wei Chen's face, as if he really didn't know those matters, Dongfang Ming thought for a moment and said, "In the affiliated worlds under the Witch Clan's Great Land, there are also levels of hierarchy. If one can make a name for themselves in the Witch Clan's Great Land, their affiliated world will also gain recognition from the Witch Clan, leading to many potential benefits. Therefore, even if we die, we must come to Right Holy Academy and give it a shot. Life and death no longer matter; what we care about is whether we can bring benefits to our Ancestral Realm."
"As long as we can become disciples of Right Holy Academy, it means we've completed the first step. What happens next depends on our talents and efforts—whether we can secure decent positions within Right Holy Academy. In any case, everyone who comes here has been selected by Right Saint from countless worlds; almost none of them are weak."
"Brother Wei Chen, Brother Shaohou, you come from the same world. This is not suitable according to Right Holy Academy's selection rules. Generally speaking, only one person from each world can participate in the selection for Right Holy Academy. This actually proves how much Right Saint values you."
"Treasure this opportunity. If we can ultimately enter Right Holy Academy together, we can look out for each other."
Dongfang Ming bowed respectfully to Wei Chen and Shaohou and said goodbye: "It was a pleasure meeting you both; I must take my leave now."
"Brother, since we have nothing else to do, would you mind taking us out for a stroll?" Wei Chen said cheerfully.
Dongfang Ming thought for a moment and replied, "Alright then, I'll treat you to drinks."
Wei Chen and Shaohou didn't think much of it; after all, how much could a meal and drinks cost? But then they found it somewhat strange—why did it seem like Dongfang Ming was offering his life just for a meal?
Noticing the odd expressions on Wei Chen and Shaohou's faces, Dongfang Ming awkwardly said, "Brothers, since you're new here and unaware of the situation in Witch Clan's Great Land, you'll understand soon enough."
Dongfang Ming led Wei Chen and Shaohou out of Right Holy Academy, taking several turns until they arrived at a tavern.
“On the Witch Clan continent, there are no high-end restaurants like those in our world. This tavern is the most common dining place here,” Dongfang Ming explained as they walked. The three of them sat at a low table, and Dongfang Ming didn’t give Wei Chen and Shaohou a chance to order; he himself ordered four or five dishes. It was quite impolite to treat guests this way.
Wei Chen and Shaohou found it even more puzzling. A top-tier powerhouse from another world couldn’t possibly be stingy!
At that moment, Dongfang Ming smiled wryly and said, “Brothers, the food on the Witch Clan continent is not ordinary. Here, all the ingredients are infused with what the Witch Clan calls Witch Power, making them unimaginably expensive. I brought many valuable items from my own world—herbs, treasures, spirit stones, and so on—all top-notch goods. I thought that with so many items on the Witch Clan continent, I would be able to trade well. However, the Pawnshop only exchanged a little over a thousand Witch Stones for me…”
Dongfang Ming continued with a bitter smile, “That was all my savings accumulated over millions of years of cultivation! On the Witch Clan continent, it’s worth nothing at all. Any treasure without Witch Power isn’t considered a treasure here. A little over a thousand Witch Stones? Just for us to casually eat some dishes, it would cost about thirty or forty stones.”
“The purchasing power of Witch Stones is very low. The ones I received are of the lowest grade; very few people use such stones for cultivation. On the Witch Clan continent, those Witch Stones are basically just currency…”
“Perhaps for those from the Witch Clan, a little over a thousand Witch Stones isn’t much at all, but for us outsiders, that’s a fortune. If you don’t believe me, try exchanging your items for Witch Stones later; I’m sure what you have won’t fetch much either.”
Dongfang Ming spoke earnestly, and for the first time in their lives, Wei Chen and Shaohou felt truly poor…
Not pretending to be poor; they were genuinely impoverished.
When the dishes were served, they lacked color and presentation, looking quite unappetizing.
“Brothers, eat up. The value of this meal could buy a city with millions of inhabitants back in our world.”
Wei Chen and Shaohou finally understood why Dongfang Ming was so upset. A city with millions of people—what kind of concept was that? Was this unappetizing dish worth such an amount that even dogs wouldn’t bother eating it?
“Don’t underestimate these dishes; the Witch Power inside can greatly enhance your physique. When the Right Holy Academy enrolls students, it will give you some advantages.”
