Chapter 248: You Su

The Moon has very weak gravity.

Its atmosphere is extremely thin, nearly nonexistent.

It is equivalent to being fully exposed to outer space.

In 2890, the Lunar Realm appeared.

As a rare wonder-realm, it selected over a hundred aspirants.

Zhiyue Zhenjun spent several years rising above these aspirants and ultimately became the master of the Lunar Realm.

At that time, Earth faced internal strife and external threats, with order in chaos.

The Star Ring had just been rebuilt, and there were only a handful of Spirit Platform cultivators.

After acquiring the Lunar Realm, Zhiyue Zhenjun did not choose to monopolize it.

Instead, after glimpsing the Spirit Platform, he voluntarily lowered the Lunar Realm, fusing it with the Moon to greatly strengthen the defense of the Four Realms.

Since then,

the Moon and the Lunar Realm became one, transforming into today’s “Lunar Realm.”

It now possesses an atmosphere, allowing Earth dwellers to live on it normally.

Within the Lunar Realm’s barrier, its gravity has increased significantly, matching that of the Star Ring Realm.

No one knows Zhiyue Zhenjun’s original name.

After ascending to the Spirit Platform, all people respectfully addressed him by his title.

His other official title, “Lunar Realm Zhenjun,” was personally bestowed by the Earth Alliance, a unique honor reserved for the Four Realms’ Zhenjuns.

“Wonder-realms are not exclusive to Earth.”

Jiang Jian, after watching the footage, grew slightly solemn.

When the Lunar Realm descended, the Moon underwent drastic changes, with all metrics significantly enhanced.

In contrast,

whether the Mars Star Ring or the Jupiter Divine Platform, both differ drastically from normal planets.

Clearly,

the immense strength of these two planets is closely tied to the continuous integration of wonder-realms.

On Earth,

the only wonder-realm fused into a planet is the Lunar Realm.

The Lunar Realm barrier exists along the Moon’s orbit.

It is the sole defense of the Four Realms, apart from the planets’ natural barriers.

“The Wall-Gazing Hall holds so many secrets.”

As he pondered,

Jiang Jian lifted his head and continued watching the footage.

Each segment of footage was extremely clear.

Every person or object within was rendered in exquisite detail, immersing viewers as if they were truly present.

Living beings here, within a short time, received myriad pieces of information, as if experiencing different lives.

As a Spirit Palace cultivator,

one has the qualification to preliminarily learn the secrets of Earth and the Moon.

The Earth-Moon Academy established the Wall-Gazing Hall to help students, while enhancing their spiritual cultivation,

gain a clearer and more accurate understanding of Earth and the Moon.

While wall-gazing,

Jiang Jian held the Autumn Water Spirit Essence and trained day and night, wasting no time.

Unconsciously,

another dozen days passed.

His Spring Well Spirit Essence steadily improved.

He was drawing closer to the limit of his acupoint capacity.

“I need a detection device.”

Beneath the spirit wall,

Jiang Jian paused his training, lifted his head, and his gaze sharpened.

During this period,

although he received vast amounts of information,

his spiritual cultivation advanced only slightly.

In the Wall-Gazing Hall, Jiang Jian focused most of his attention on his own Spirit Essence cultivation.

Ten units of Autumn Water Spirit Essence had been entirely consumed.

Under zero interference,

his cultivation speed remained remarkably stable.

The Spring Well Spirit Essence manifested as brilliant golden specks, swirling visibly around, nearly filling the acupoints.

Jiang Jian felt a strong premonition:

the Divine Illumination Wall he was about to face

would likely be the most difficult barrier he had ever encountered in his cultivation.

The third realm: Divine Illumination Approaching Truth.

All accumulated foundations would erupt in a single moment.

The Divine Illumination Wall is a clear dividing line.

Some soar upward, reaching the Nine Heavens.

Others barely climb to the Spirit Palace, exhaust their potential, and gain no further progress.

For many,

this barrier is not overly difficult.

Especially at the Earth-Moon Academy,

they have long developed extensive experience in helping students break through to the Spirit Palace.

But after breaking through,

as time passes,

the gap between Spirit Palace cultivators can grow terrifyingly vast!

The strong, like Shen Xi,

can suppress two realm layers alone, invincible.

The weak, like Liu Yanshou of Hanjiang Prefecture,

no matter how hard they train, their cultivation never improves.

Their progress is nearly stagnant.

To secure core resources and survive longer,

they must drift through officialdom, bully the weak and flatter the powerful, barely clinging to life.

The Wall-Gazing Hall footage did not conceal such realities—it clearly showed these fates to academy students.

To help them plan their life paths deep within their hearts.

“Wall-gazing concluded. Please leave the Wall-Gazing Hall.”

A cold voice echoed.

Jiang Jian, clad in a white lunar robe, rose and walked out of the hall.

Before his eyes,

stood the Earth-Moon statue at the center of Shengshan.

Above it,

the World Vortex was immense, slowly rotating.

It stirred the heavy clouds at the edge of the sky, creating a breathtaking sight.

Suddenly,

a voice of surprise came from nearby.

“Jiang Jian, you just came out of the Wall-Gazing Hall?”

Hearing the greeting,

Jiang Jian turned his head.

Dozens of meters away,

three students stood together, staring at him.

The one who greeted him was Wei Yang, from his same cohort.

Back on Shengshan,

all academy students seemed to have instantly stepped out of the academy world, completing their identity transformation.

“Yes.”

Jiang Jian stood in place and nodded.

Upon hearing his reply,

Wei Yang’s expression brightened with surprise as he strode forward and said, “Your cultivation speed is indeed much faster than mine!”

“Now I have one more person to help me!”

He stopped walking and turned back, pointing to two other students, “Jiang Jian, let me introduce you.”

“This is Su Jing, a first-year from Class 29, with a Level 6 talent.”

“In less than half a year, his Surge Spring spiritual essence has already reached fullness!”

Behind him.

Su Jing regarded Jiang Jian with a haughty gaze, sizing him up.

Moments later.

He suddenly stiffened, fixing his eyes on Jiang Jian as if sensing something—his arrogance visibly dimmed.

Wei Yang then pointed to the other man and said, “This is Li Que, a third-year student.”

Li Que stepped forward, smiling warmly, and extended his hand to Jiang Jian: “Classmate, hello.”

Jiang Jian nodded and shook his hand: “Hello.”

Wei Yang turned his head to the two and said, “The person behind me is a second-year student.”

“And also the top student of our year.”

“Jiang Jian.”
