Chapter 810: Chapter 808 Sword Art Academy!

Being forcibly enrolled in a Monastery and being invited to join one are completely different concepts.

If a Warrior with a Yellow Level Martial Soul is forced into a Monastery, the institution may not fully cultivate them, many resources might not be provided, and they may not receive the Monastery’s protection.

But, once invited to join a Monastery, that changes everything.

Warriors who are invited will at least not lack Cultivation Resources, and they can also enjoy the Monastery’s protection.

This undeniably gave Lin Bai a great opportunity to catch his breath.

With Lin Bai’s decision to stay or leave determined, this examination at the Miracle Ridge was officially over.

Pei Ji walked over, supported Lin Bai, and said softly, "Do not leave the Sword Art Academy until your Dantian is restored, to prevent Liujing Feng’s retaliation; that person is really too petty."

Lin Bai smiled and said, "Thank you, Elder Pei Ji."

Pei Ji chuckled and replied, "Don’t mention it, you truly have unparalleled talent in swordsmanship, I just can’t bear to give up on such a peerless genius!"

"Let’s go, you’ve just been through a great battle. I’ll take you back to the Sword Art Academy to settle you down and have you rest for a while. First, you need to repair your bones and meridians completely, then think of a way to restore your Dantian."

Lin Bai nodded gently.

Elder Pei Ji was right, Lin Bai’s most important task right now was to heal his body, at least to be able to walk on his own before he could think of finding Spiritual Medicine to repair his Dantian.

And before leaving, Elder Wenyue had given Lin Bai an Elixir Pill, saying that after taking it, Lin Bai would be able to walk in three days.

The Disciple Recruitment Conference had ended.

The high-ranking Elders of the Nine Great Institutions took their students back to the Miracle Ridge.

Pei Ji, supporting Lin Bai, arrived at a plaza behind the Ascension Tower.

In this plaza, Lin Bai saw nine large ships hovering three feet off the ground.

"Spirit Boat!"

"It’s a Spirit Boat!"

"This is a Flying Spirit Artifact unique to the Miracle Ridge. A Low-grade Spirit Boat can carry a hundred people, a Middle Grade can carry a thousand, and a Higher Grade can carry ten thousand!"

When he saw these large ships, Lin Bai was still unclear about their origin when Warriors behind him began to exclaim.

These were the Flying Spirit Artifacts, Spirit Boats, unique to the Miracle Ridge.

In this plaza, nine Spirit Boats docked, each with sails embroidered with different symbols.

Pei Ji, with all new disciples of the Sword Art Academy, went towards the Spirit Boat marked with the "Treasure Sword" symbol.

Pei Ji announced, "All disciples board the Spirit Boat, we’re heading back to the Sword Art Academy immediately!"

"Yes!"

The other disciples responded respectfully, stepping onto the Spirit Boat with excitement written all over their faces.

This was a Spirit Boat, after all!

A unique item of the Miracle Ridge.

Warriors who could step onto a Spirit Boat were undoubtedly counted as disciples of the Miracle Ridge.

After all the new disciples of the Sword Art Academy were aboard the Spirit Boat, Pei Ji activated the Magic Circle, and the Spirit Boat slowly ascended, leaving Tianding City.

Lin Bai leaned over the side of the Spirit Boat, watching Tianding City gradually disappear below.

The direction the Spirit Boat was heading towards was an endless expanse of Barren Mountain and the Mang Gu Mountain Range.

After traversing over each Primitive Jungle, and about an hour later, atop this boundless Mountain Range, a magnificent complex of palaces appeared.

"Is this the Sword Art Academy?"

Lin Bai looked down and noticed that all the palace complexes bore the Treasure Sword symbol, and the Warriors passing between the buildings were all gripping swords in their hands.

It wasn’t just Lin Bai who was astonished by the Sword Art Academy.

Other Warriors also showed a mix of surprise and excitement.

"The Sword Art Academy has arrived!"

"The sacred land for sword cultivators on Miracle Ridge! The Sword Art Academy!"

"Sword Art Academy, here I come!"

"Hahaha, my legendary path as Fang Mo starts from the Sword Art Academy!"

Many warriors spoke excitedly.

Lin Bai’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he muttered to himself, "Sword Art Academy!"

From atop the Spirit Boat, Lin Bai saw the disciples moving to and fro within the Sword Art Academy, each with profound and unfathomable cultivation. The weakest among them were at the third or fourth level of the Human Elixir Realm. There were hardly any weaklings.

"Such an assembly of talents is like a gathering of dragons!"

Lin Bai exclaimed with deep feeling.

Only the most exceptional figures among cultivators, akin to dragons and phoenixes among men, could gain entry into any of the Nine Courtyards of Miracle Ridge, which had such stringent selection criteria for disciples.

The Spirit Boat descended onto a plaza within the Sword Art Academy.

All the warriors disembarked from the Spirit Boat and stood on the plaza, looking around excitedly and curiously at every blade of grass and tree within the Sword Art Academy.

After more than an hour of recovery, Lin Bai was barely able to stand and slowly walked down from the Spirit Boat.

In the plaza, a fat, jolly middle-aged man came walking over with a smile and called out, "Senior Brother Pei Ji, you’re back. Oh-ho, are these the warriors entering our Sword Art Academy this year? Looks like quite a few."

"Junior Brother Yuan Qing," Pei Ji greeted with a smile.

"Since Junior Brother Yuan Qing is already here waiting, I’ll let you handle the accommodations," said Pei Ji.

Yuan Qing laughed and said, "Alright, no problem. You must be tired from the journey, Senior Brother Pei Ji. Go ahead and rest, I’ll take care of these youngsters."

Pei Ji nodded with a faint smile, glanced back at Lin Bai, and then turned to leave.

After Pei Ji departed,

Yuan Qing raised his voice and said, "All disciples listen up. My name is Yuan Qing, an Elder of the Sword Art Academy’s Executive Hall. Today is your first day at the Sword Art Academy, and there are some things I must clearly explain to you."

"Firstly, each of you will receive a piece of map, a book, and a quarters!"

As he spoke, Yuan Qing took out the pre-prepared items from his Storage Bag. With a wave of his sleeve, he wrapped the three items in Spiritual Power and placed them in front of each warrior.

Lin Bai reached out to receive them and opened them for inspection.

Inside, there were only three items.

The first was a map, which detailed the Nine Courtyards and Five Peaks located on Miracle Ridge, as well as the position of the Primordial World.

The second was a book called "Guide of the Miracle Ridge," which contained information on cultivation sites within the Sword Art Academy, exchange locations for resources, and a detailed introduction to the other nine institutions.

The third was a Token, which was a room token. Holding this token permitted one to reside in the Sword Art Academy.

One would only officially become a disciple of the Sword Art Academy after moving into a room within.

Yuan Qing added, "There are a few more matters I need to explain to you."

"The first matter is that every month on the first and fifteenth days, there will be high-ranking Elders preaching at the Sword Art Academy Arena. This will be very beneficial for your Sword Art cultivation, and I hope you’ll attend."

"The second matter, all exchanges for cultivation resources within the Sword Art Academy require Points. Points are very important here. If you are lacking Points, you can earn them at the Physical Spirit Arena or by hunting Demon Beasts, gathering Spiritual Medicine, and mining Ores!"

"The third matter concerns Divine Power Valley. As the name suggests, Divine Power Valley is where the Martial Intent God Stele is kept. If you need to cultivate Divine Powers, you can exchange Points for access there."

"The fourth matter is the Sword Skill Pavilion. This pavilion houses Heaven-level Sword Skills. Of course, if you need them, you must exchange Points to acquire them."

"The fifth matter is Martial Intent Mountain, which is especially reserved for cultivating your Martial Arts Will."

"Of course, all these matters I’ve mentioned are also written in the ’Guide of the Miracle Ridge’. I’m mentioning them here to draw your attention to these places, as they will be of great assistance to your future cultivation!"

Listening to Yuan Qing’s introduction,

Lin Bai gained a preliminary understanding of Miracle Ridge.
