Chapter 2946: Chapter 2949: Information on the Thunder Domain

Changlin Academy on Southern Maniac Mountain in the Battlefield Realm.

Yes, Southern Maniac Mountain.

Jiang Chen picked a mountain peak to live on, and named it Southern Maniac Mountain.

At this moment, on Southern Maniac Mountain, Jiang Chen, Hu Yiqiu, Zhu Tianming, Zhao Buzu, Tang Jie, Xiang Wuhui, and Jian Cangqiong were sitting in a circle together.

Only here at Jiang Chen’s place did Tang Jie and the other one dare sit at the same table as Zhao Buzu and the others. Anywhere else, even in their own homes, they wouldn’t have the qualifications to share a table with them!

Meanwhile, Pang Guang, Jin Wenhao, Lei Zhan and the others had already gone back, and the policy for battle merit exchange had been issued. As the ones in charge, they had to go back and keep an eye on things.

At this point, a full year had passed since the grand opening ceremony of Changlin Academy!

"Jiang Chen, you... really... I... I don’t even know what to say anymore!"

Jian Cangqiong looked at Jiang Chen, somewhat tongue-tied.

Over this year, the thousand-li mountain range of Changlin Academy had been fully populated. There were nearly a hundred Worshipped Elders, over a thousand regular elders, more than ten thousand instructors, and the student body had reached a million. Jian Cangqiong and the others were stunned beyond belief.

With it set up like this, there could no longer be a second academy anywhere in the Domain. Anyone wanting to enter an academy would all flock to Changlin Academy!

"Teacher, don’t get too worked up. The truly difficult part is still ahead!"

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, his expression easing, then grew serious. "With me here, those experts won’t dare get up to much, but I need to leave."

Jian Cangqiong was slightly stunned at that, and his expression grew grave.

"Right now the academy has so many experts. As for causing trouble, they probably won’t go that far—no one dares. But when it comes to handling everyday matters, after I leave, Teacher, you’ll need to pay more attention."

Jiang Chen warned in a low voice.

"I understand."

Jian Cangqiong nodded lightly, his expression growing more and more solemn.

"But Teacher doesn’t need to worry too much. At Saint Realm, Master will be staying. At Saint Monarch Realm, Old Dean Jian will be staying. At Supreme Realm, Grandmaster will be staying. With those three here, normal problems can all be resolved. If you really hit a dead end, just have Master and Grandmaster throw a tantrum. With their connection to me, no one will dare do anything to them."

Jiang Chen said with a soft laugh.

Thump!

Hu Yiqiu raised his hand and slapped the back of Jiang Chen’s head, cursing with a smile, "You little punk, what kind of talk is that? ’Throw a tantrum’? No respect for your elders!"

Thump!

Before the others could react, another dull smack sounded. The back of Hu Yiqiu’s head took a slap, and he almost smashed his face into the table.

"You’re the little punk, you little drunkard. What are you talking about? If my disciple’s grandson says ’throw a tantrum’ then it’s ’throw a tantrum.’ You dare bully my disciple’s grandson again and I’ll beat you to death, I swear!"

Zhu Tianming glared viciously at Hu Yiqiu.

Skip-a-generation affection!

It doesn’t only exist in bloodlines.

With Jiang Chen achieving what he had, Zhu Tianming was overjoyed to the extreme. The more he looked, the more he felt Jiang Chen was bringing him glory. Then he looked at his former treasured disciple, Hu Yiqiu, and in an instant felt nothing but intense dislike.

Pfft!

Pff!

"Hahaha!"

The others were briefly stunned, then all struggled to hold back their laughter, while Zhao Buzu simply laughed out loud without restraint.

Hu Yiqiu gave Zhu Tianming a resentful glance, then turned and glared at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen bared his teeth in a grin and ignored that unruly pair, turning instead to Jian Cangqiong. "Teacher, if you run into something really urgent, you can use the Jade Talisman I left you to summon the Second Prince. But if you can avoid using it, don’t."

"I understand."

Jian Cangqiong nodded once more.

"Right, I’ve been so busy this whole year I totally forgot to ask—how did that guy Hu Zi end up coming along too?"

Jiang Chen looked at Jian Cangqiong in puzzlement.

With what he knew of Yan Hu, once he found out he could come to the Battlefield Realm, he would have charged in with the very first batch!

"Yan Hu..."

Jian Cangqiong’s face changed slightly. He hesitated for a moment, then said quietly, "Jiang Chen, Yan Hu is gone."

"Huh?"

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, his brows instantly knitting together.

"Little friend Yan Hu absorbed the energy of the lightning-struck wood on Southern Maniac Mountain back there and got stuck at Integration Realm Peak. At that time, the war still wasn’t over. He felt that level of strength wasn’t enough and told me he wanted to go somewhere to cultivate—a place that could help him improve.

I originally disagreed, but I never expected he’d secretly leave the academy. By the time I realized, it was already impossible to track his whereabouts. I’m sorry, Jiang Chen, I didn’t..."

Jian Cangqiong spoke filled with guilt and self-blame.

"It’s fine."

Jiang Chen shook his head lightly. "Hu Zi wanted to leave. With his Integration Realm Peak strength, Teacher, even at Saint Realm, it would be hard for you to notice. His skill at concealing his aura is something I taught him myself."

Pausing for a moment, Jiang Chen asked softly, "Do you know where he went?"

"I don’t know the exact place. I only know he went to a gathering place of the Thunder Path, and it’s rather dangerous. That place... isn’t fixed."

Jian Cangqiong said, his expression solemn.

"Isn’t fixed?!"

Jiang Chen was taken aback, looking at Jian Cangqiong in confusion.

"You mean the Thunder Domain?!"

Zhao Buzu thought of something and exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes."

Jian Cangqiong nodded lightly.

"The Thunder Domain? How does he even know the method to get to the Thunder Domain?"

Zhu Tianming raised a brow, speaking in astonishment.

"That I don’t know."

Jian Cangqiong shook his head.

"What is the Thunder Domain? Is it a Secret Realm?"

Jiang Chen’s brows furrowed slightly. Judging by Zhao Buzu and Zhu Tianming’s reactions, this Thunder Domain clearly wasn’t some benevolent place.

"The Thunder Domain is a Secret Realm, and it was formed from the complete Domain left behind by a Thunder Path Supreme Peak Expert after his fall. However, this Secret Realm moves."

Zhao Buzu said, his gaze complex.

"It moves?!"

Jiang Chen and the others all cried out in surprise.

"Yes. It moves back and forth across the entire Void Nether Realm, and it has never stayed in one place for more than half a year."

Zhao Buzu nodded lightly.

"Why is that? To leave behind a complete Domain, he must have either been killed in an instant, not even having time to unleash his Domain, or reached his natural end, or suffered damage to his Primordial Spirit too severe, then fell and left his Domain to turn into a Secret Realm for later generations to cultivate and improve. But if that’s the case, why is it running all over the place? And how is that even done?"

Tang Jie’s face was full of confusion as he cautiously interjected.

"As for that question, you’ll understand once the academy’s entrance examination is over."

Zhao Buzu’s eyes revealed a hint of gloom, and he didn’t answer directly.

Tang Jie and Xiang Wuhui both changed expression, suddenly thinking of something, a trace of shock flashing in their eyes.

"The academy? Entrance examination?"

Jiang Chen froze for a moment, his face full of puzzlement.

"You still haven’t told him?"

Zhao Buzu was slightly stunned, turning to look at Hu Yiqiu.

"I haven’t had the time yet."

Hu Yiqiu shook his head, then turned to Jiang Chen. "Young Jiang, after you return to the Void Nether Realm, what are your plans?"

PS: Sometimes I write fast and don’t check much, so there will be some mistakes in the text...

I hope that when you spot mistakes, you’ll leave me a comment afterward. Once I see it, I’ll correct it.

Thanks in advance, everyone.
