Beidou Mountain, Beidou College.
It has been more than two months since the catastrophe. With the ability of cultivators, the damaged areas in Beidou Academy have been quickly restored. But Qixing Valley has never returned to its original appearance. The various supernatural powers during the fierce battle, as well as the pillar of fire caused by Lu Chenfeng's explosion, left traces like scars in the Seven Star Valley to this day.
The damage to the Seven Stars Valley was too serious, and most of the disciples thought so. After all, very few people know about the super-grade divine weapon Qian Songchi in the Seven Star Tower. Naturally, few people know that the current damage to the Seven Stars Valley will never be restored, and it may even be impossible to recover in the future. This is all because Qian Songchi is no longer there, and there is no longer this super-grade magic weapon in the Seven Stars Valley to maintain the ecology.
However, the Seven Star Tower, which was completely destroyed in this battle, was completely rebuilt today. At the same time, not far away, on the scorched earth burned by the prairie fire started by Lu Chenfeng, a stone tablet with the same height as the Seven Star Tower was erected. The back of the stele is engraved with a star map symbolizing Beidou College, and the front is engraved with names one after another.
Yuheng Academician Li Yaotian, Tianji Academician Wang Xin, Tianji Peak's first disciple Sun Shuuzhao, Tianxuan Peak's first disciple Zhan Ren... From the Seventh Academician and the Seventh Peak's first disciple, all the way to Ji Yefu of Beishan New Academy.
Some of them died directly in this war, and some died of serious injuries afterwards. Some of them are profound and rare in the world; some are mediocre and cannot be considered top-notch in mainland China. But now, their names are listed on the monument together, because they all gave their lives for Beidou Academy in this catastrophe.
All members of Beidou Academy gathered in front of the monument on the day when the monument was erected.
There was no eulogy, no special ceremony, just a unanimous sadness. Led by Dean Xu Mai, everyone stood silently in front of the stone tablet for a long time until Xu Mai turned around.
After the Battle of Seven Stars Valley, Xu Mai's body, which was forcibly customized for Lao Da, never fully recovered and he looked much older. Kaiyang Academician Guo Wushu, who stood next to him, was no longer enclosed on Kaiyang Peak since that day. But his tall body seemed to have become much more rickety.
"I said, Beidou will never forget all this, and cannot forget it. Beidou will eventually get back this blood feud," he said.
"I will eventually get it back!" Everyone in Qixing Valley burst out shouting, reaching to Jiutian.
"But now, Beidou will face a dilemma that has not been seen in thousands of years." Xu Mai said.
A dilemma that has never happened in thousands of years?
Everyone in Beidou was moved when they heard such a serious description. In this fierce battle, the four major colleges fought against each other, and casualties were indeed rare. But is it too much to say that thousands of people have never experienced it before? Not to mention, in the Second War of Cultivators a thousand years ago, only one of the seven academicians of Beidou Academy survived. Wouldn't it be even more tragic than today? This time, the four major colleges have actually retained their strength, so they won’t be so alarmist, right?
As if to confirm Xu Mai's statement, snowflakes suddenly fell from the sky at this moment.
Qingfeng Empire has four distinct seasons, and snowfall in winter is extremely common. But where is this? This is the Seven Stars Valley. The Seven Stars Valley of Beidou College has not kept pace with time since Beidou College was founded. It is like spring all year round and breeds abundant vitality that is envied by the whole world. It is regarded as a sacred place and a miracle.
But now, snowflakes are actually floating in the Seven Stars Valley, and they are not just one or two, and they are not someone's superpower. This is really a heavy snowfall from the sky, covering the entire Seven Stars Valley.
The thousands-year-old miracles of Seven Star Valley no longer exist. Is this the dilemma the dean is referring to? But what is going on?
Looking at the snowflakes all over the sky, there was silence in the Seven Stars Valley. All the disciples looked at each other in confusion.
Snowflakes fell quietly on everyone's shoulders, and soon the Seven Stars Valley was dyed white.
"There will be a meeting in the Fourth Academy next month." Xu Mai suddenly added, "Maybe there will be another big move soon. During this time, everyone should step up their cultivation. Chen Jiu."
"I'm here." Tianquan Academician Chen Jiu was standing by and took two steps forward when he heard Xu Mai's roll call.
"During this period, Tianquan Peak's medicinal diet is open to everyone, don't be stingy." Xu Mai said.
"Yes." Chen Jiu nodded.
"This side of Tianji Peak..."
Tianjifeng manages the money, and they are responsible for managing the most daily food and clothing aspects of the entire college. However, Tianji Peak's academician Wang Xin and his first disciple Sun Shuuzhao both died in this battle, and were forced to find new successors. When talking about this peak, Xu Mai couldn't help but pause sadly.
Western mountain realm.
There are no fixed residences in the mountain range connected by Tianshu and Tianquan peaks. There are only many closed cultivation places and the cemetery of Beidou Academy.
The stone monuments erected in the Seven Stars Valley are only for commemoration, but this is where the victims really rest.
The heavy snow soon turned the entire cemetery white. In the park where there is a plaque with the word Tianji Peak, in the row where the first disciples of Tianji are buried, a snowman has been standing alone for an unknown period of time.
For Sun Yingsheng, it didn't matter whether Sun Shuuzhao was the first disciple of Tianji Peak or how many generations of disciples he was. In his heart, Sun Shuuzhao only had one identity - his sister.
The love they had when they were young, the differences they had after they got older, the three-year agreement, the mutual confrontation at the Seven Stars Association... We are no longer here, and all these calculations can only come to nothing in the end.
"Sister..." Sun Yingsheng called softly, clenching his fists tightly, and tears welling up in his eyes endlessly.
Someone arrived at Sun Yingsheng's side at some unknown time and gently placed a small flower in front of Sun's monument. Looking at the stains on the monument, I endured it for a while, but still didn't reach out to move it.
"What are your plans?" She stood up straight and asked about Sun Yingsheng.
"Go home." Sun Yingsheng said.
"Have you given up practicing?"
"You don't have to practice in Beidou College." Sun Yingsheng said.
"Yeah." Tang Xiaomei nodded.
"What about you?" Sun Yingsheng asked.
"There is nothing here that makes me want to stay." Tang Xiaomei said.
"Oh." Sun Yingsheng also nodded and did not continue to ask.
"Is Han Li sleeping again at this time?" Tang Xiaomei said suddenly.
"Probably so." Sun Yingsheng said.
"Where's Huo Ying?"
"I heard that he has returned to Yuheng Peak and is recovering quickly. He should be the next Yuheng Academician." Sun Yingsheng said.
"Those who were still half-dead before, just agree to it."
"I did it all by myself. Once the heart disease is gone, it will naturally get better quickly." Sun Yingsheng said.
"And that boy..." Tang Xiaomei said again. Without her master, all the teachers had taken the opposite side, which made her feel like she was the only one left. But now it seems that the time in the Fifth Academy still left her with a lot of thoughts. She was not a heartless person, otherwise why would she have always thought of her teacher's kindness to her even though all her teachers were righteous and exterminated their relatives.
"That kid. Maybe he is stirring things up again now!" Sun Yingsheng said.
