I Am Overlord

Chapter 723: Heading to Gleamstar Blessed Land

Today was a rare day when the Dragon Phoenix Academy disciples assembled. On the martial field, a large majority of the disciples were gathered. All of them were filled with excitement, elation, and the vigor of youth.

They were the Dragon Phoenix Academy's newest generation genius disciples, and they were also among the most talented cultivators in the dominion. Today, they had gathered not to have a competition among themselves. Rather, they were going to head to the Gleamstar Blessed Land in search of gleamstar water.

The gleamstar water was a type of rare spiritual water. In legends, a type of pure astral spring water was created after some stars erupted. This water, known as gleamstar water, could expand the size of a cultivator's stars.

The size of one's stars was fixed since birth, and it would only grow through ceaseless breakthroughs. Apart from that, some rare materials could also expand the capacity of the stars. The gleamstar water was undoubtedly an excellent material among the many materials capable of expanding stars.

These genius disciples originated from the dominion's numerous powerful organizations. Even so, none of them had any gleamstar water in their possession, so the discovery of the Gleamstar Blessed Land had filled these disciples with excitement.

So long as one could obtain some gleamstar water, one would be able to expand one's stars, making it possible to store more astral energy. This was something that would greatly benefit any cultivator, adding to one's accumulation.

Hence, about two-thirds of the disciples were participating in the expedition. As this was a joint operation, an elder from the academy higher-ups gave a speech, informing the disciples that they were not the only ones who would be involved. Some other organizations and races had also discovered the place.

The elder was reminding them that the fight for the gleamstar water would be unimaginably intense. When they arrived, life or death would be up to fate. Soon, the elder finished the speech and activated the teleportation formation, sending all the participating disciples to a place near the Gleamstar Blessed Land.

And just like that, the grand army of over 10 thousand academy disciples arrived at a place called Meteorite City. Meteorite City was a dilapidated, dead city that had been abandoned for many years. It bordered the Southern Wasteland.

The Dragon Phoenix Academy had likely reconstructed this teleportation formation recently. The city was named Meteorite City because a meteorite had once landed here, crushing all inhabitants to death.

The Gleamstar Blessed Land was outside the city. Due to a unique formation surrounding it, it had remained undiscovered all this while. Recently, for some unknown reason, clues of the blessed land appeared and were discovered by a Saint. That was how this expedition for the gleamstar water started.

According to estimations, the formation would open in a few days, and only those at the Emperor Realm or lower could enter. The place would remain open for a month, after which it would collapse and cease to exist.

Hence, those entering were required to gather the gleamstar water within a month before leaving safely. Those failing to leave in time would remain inside forever. The Dragon Phoenix Academy elders brought to disciples to the edge of a certain crater before setting up camp.

The crater was created when the meteorite had landed. A regular person would not be able to sense anything different about this place, and only a Saint would be able to sense the spatial instability. Amid the crowd, Xiang Shaoyun could sense something different about this place.

He thus unleashed the senses of his Nether Soul Domain. With astonishment, he found numerous cracks in the air, as if a spider web was covering the space above the crater.

An indescribable power was leaking out of the cracks. Perhaps it was the formation's power. He was only able to sense the cracks with his Nether Soul Domain. A regular person would not be able to see anything with their naked eyes.

What's the matter with this spatial formation? Is it only detectable by Saints while only Emperors can enter? I doubt so. The Saint must have set a formation here, giving us a chance to temper ourselves in there, concluded Xiang Shaoyun.

The gleamstar water was extremely valuable, and it was useful even for Soul Foundation Realm cultivators. Without any limitation, Soul Foundation Realm cultivators would be able to enter. If so, no Emperor would have a chance to get any gleamstar water.

Of course, that was information no outsiders knew. Only the Saints in charge of the whole affair was aware of it. Even if Xiang Shaoyun knew the truth, he would not dare to spread it.

The genius disciples thus waited for the formation to open. At some other spots, other organizations and races were lying in wait as well.

Despite the Dragon Phoenix Academy's reputation, they had limited reach. Inside the blessed land, the disciples would have to rely on their own capabilities. Xiang Shaoyun gathered the Overlord Legion members and personally made some arrangements for their course of action after entering.

"This expedition will be extremely dangerous. After entering, it will be great if you can find some gleamstar water. But if you can't, don't force it. Prioritize staying alive. If you are not even alive, there is no point talking about the future. Remember this well," said Xiang Shaoyun.

"That's right," Tang Longfei agreed. "Even if we can't get the gleamstar water, we can still look for star extension grass or other herbs to expand our stars. But if we are dead, we will have nothing."

The first batch members of Overlord Legion nodded in agreement, while those who had joined later seemed somewhat displeased. They felt that the words were ruining morale, and they also felt that Xiang Shaoyun wasn't acting as imposing as their overlord should be.

Xiang Shaoyun also appointed several captains in charge of different groups to make it easier for them to deal with any changes after entering. In such a manner, everyone waited for the formation to open.

At this moment, someone suddenly walked toward the Overlord Legion. The surrounding disciples were surprised.

"Isn't that Ouyang Chuanqi, the loner? He's walking toward Xiang Shaoyun?"

"Huh? You're right. Ouyang Chuanqi is the same as Baili Yixiao, rarely showing himself in public. So he is also here as well? And he's looking for Xiang Shaoyun? Is he going to teach Xiang Shaoyun a lesson?"

"I don't know, but I have never heard about any conflict between them. Then again, Ouyang Chuanqi has always been low-profiled and rarely gets in contact with anyone. He also hasn't even bothered building his own faction. There must be a reason for his appearance this time."

"I heard he was already a late-stage Emperor. I wonder if that is true, but he is my idol!"

"This is a genius comparable to the likes of Baili Yixiao and Zhang Wushuang. What is so surprising about him being a late-stage Emperor?"
