Chapter 3597: The Land of CultivationEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The cultivation site was located in the central prism area of the planet.

At the entrance, two elders dressed in white robes stood in place.

One elder nodded at Fang Heng and asked, "Martial artist, is this your first time entering the cultivation site? Do you need me to give some description of this area?"

Fang Heng cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, seniors."

The elder said, "The cultivation methods in this site are divided into two types. The first is one-on-one guidance, providing cultivation direction to help martial artists quickly break through bottlenecks."

"The second is the direct infusion of energy. Through academic energy infusion into the body, a martial artist can raise their academic level in the shortest time. However, this method of cultivation can make one’s root unstable. Later, they still need to understand and cultivate on their own to fully integrate the power."

"In addition, entry into the cultivation site is time-based. Once the dimensional crystals stored in a martial artist’s token are used up, the martial artist will be automatically expelled from the space."

Fang Heng listened and thought to himself.

He had the God’s Eye, and combined with his comprehension of domain power, breaking through was as simple as eating or drinking. He didn’t need one-on-one instruction; he only needed to absorb the energy.

And it was time-based?

Was there really such a good deal?

He also had a zombie clone. In theory, the absorption speed of the clone was hundreds of times faster than a normal person’s.

Wasn’t this a huge gain?

The elder said, "Martial artist, if you want to enter the cultivation site, please first present your trial token for registration. I will then guide you into the cultivation area to choose your cultivation space."

"Thank you, senior."

Fang Heng handed over the token. After registration was complete, he entered the cultivation site under the elder’s guidance.

Ahead in the passage were two branching paths.

The white-robed elder explained, "The left side leads to the teaching area, the right side to the academic energy infusion area. Which type of cultivation would you like to undertake?"

"Academic energy infusion."

"Good, follow me."

The white-robed elder led Fang Heng through the right branch’s barrier, along the passage into the right area.

Beyond the passage lay a circular open space.

Teleportation magic arrays corresponding to high-tier academic cultivation spaces were arranged around it, forming a circle.

It could be seen that the Hell, God, and Undead academic areas were not present.

Huh?

Fang Heng carefully examined each academic area. Suddenly, he raised an eyebrow and looked at two teleportation passages, his eyes brightening.

Prayer-Curse Studies?

He had never seen this discipline before!

There was even a hidden option?

Fang Heng asked, "Senior, may I ask what kind of academic discipline Prayer-Curse Studies is?"

"Simply put," the elder explained calmly, "through incantations combined with prayers, one can summon ancient disasters or even gods to descend, sending them directly into the battlefield to fight, or briefly fuse with them to gain immense attribute boosts."

The elder continued, "Each use of Prayer-Curse Studies usually consumes sacrifices, and success depends on the martial artist’s compatibility with the summoned ancient being. Summoning failures often result in backlash, which is why this discipline has been rarely passed down."

Fang Heng thought silently.

It seemed Prayer-Curse Studies was somewhat like the way followers of an evil god summoned their deity.

No matter.

He didn’t actually need to summon any ancient beings through it. He only needed the discipline to boost attributes.

Might as well maximize it while he had the chance.

"Thank you for the explanation, senior."

Fang Heng cupped his fists at the white-robed elder and walked to the teleportation passage leading to Mysticism.

No rush, he would start with Mysticism first.

Mysticism was a relatively common discipline, with moderate cultivation difficulty and decent combat effect. Many martial artists practiced it.

"Whoosh!"

Fang Heng stood at the center of the magic array. In the next instant, his figure vanished.

When he opened his eyes again, he had arrived in the trial space.

Huh?

The Mysticism energy here was incredibly dense!

As he teleported into the cultivation site, Fang Heng immediately sensed a strong flow of Astrology energy rushing toward him.

The Mysticism energy was so concentrated that it had vaporized, filling the space, even giving him the illusion that it was pressing into his body.

In this environment, even a summoned zombie clone could absorb the energy without touching the prism itself, though less efficiently.

Fang Heng nodded silently and scanned the surroundings.

The trial space was about half the size of a football field, with the perimeter enclosed by a barrier.

In the center, a tall crystal column rose from the ground, continuously emitting Mysticism energy outward.

Fang Heng looked at the crystal column, admiration appearing in his eyes.

A pillar of energy!

It was dozens of times larger than the crystal columns he had seen in Tiger Venerable’s dimensional world region.

Good.

The central dimensional space was just right.

The crystal column in Tiger Venerable’s trial site had been too small; even if all the zombie clones gathered, there wasn’t enough absorption energy.

Fang Heng then looked to the right.

He was not the only one in the trial space. Two unfamiliar aliens and a white-robed elder were present.

The two aliens sat cross-legged, absorbing Mysticism energy.

Fang Heng remembered that the God King had mentioned that the Dimensional Emperor had eight Realm Venerables under his command. Every Martial Apex Tournament, each Realm Venerable personally led a team to select ten participants, totaling eighty people, with the remaining forty-eight chosen from the dimensional world.

The elder saw Fang Heng’s gaze and lightly nodded. "I am the guardian of the Mysticism trial space. You have entered the cultivation area and may begin your cultivation at any time."

"Understood."

Fang Heng stopped overthinking. With a motion of his wrist, a thick stack of rune papers appeared in his hand. He threw them forward with force.

Bang! Bang bang bang!

The rune papers exploded in the air. Lickers burst out and landed on the ground, quickly forming flesh cocoons.

The elder furrowed his brows, but did not stop him.

Many martial artists entered the cultivation site. He had seen numerous aliens with special abilities absorbing energy.

It seemed this one intended to use a clone to absorb energy?

And the clones could absorb academic energy through direct contact?

That was rare.

"Pfft, pfft...!"

The flesh cocoons cracked open on the ground.

The zombie clones crawled out, staggering toward the central prism column. Their bodies slowly divided—one became two, two became four—rapidly forming a vast number of zombie clones spreading toward the column.

In an instant, the zombies surrounded the column, touching its surface with their hands and absorbing Mysticism energy directly through the prism.

"Oh?"

Surprise appeared in the white-robed elder’s eyes.

Were they absorbing energy point by point directly?

He glanced at Fang Heng and silently nodded.

Interesting.

Direct contact with the prism to draw energy required a strong mental strength to rely on. Otherwise, the vast energy of the prism would overwhelm one’s sea of consciousness first.

Normal martial artists usually absorbed ambient Mysticism energy instead, which had less backlash.

Not to mention over a hundred clones absorbing energy simultaneously—the impact on the sea of consciousness would be hundreds of times greater.

Not bad for a newcomer.

This martial artist’s mental strength was very strong.
