Return to the Huang Long Academy - 146

After the meeting dispersed, Zhou Fan stopped using his divine sense. Since he had made sure that the entire solar system wasn't destroyed and that the people within it hadn't changed that much, Zhou Fan was ready to leave the solar system for a while.

After so many years, he was ready to visit earth again. Although he wanted to make guesses on its state, Zhou Fan didn't. Instead, he started to fly towards earth.

Since he was controlling his speed, it would take him a minute to reach it. Of course, he was still moving at a speed that was much faster than light.

Now that he had broken through to the inner world realm, he felt that he had completely exceeded the galaxy. Although the energy within it slightly outclassed his Qi, it wasn't by much. He estimated that he would exceed the galaxy in overall Qi by the time he reached the third level of the inner world realm.

Still, he had already become fast enough to reach other galaxies in a timely manner. Although it may take a month of traveling to reach other galaxies, even with his current strength, the closest galaxy was actually easily reachable.

If he started flying towards it at his full speed right now, he would reach it in around 3 hours. Although he could shorten the travel time by teleporting, he wasn't strong enough yet. If he tried to, he would suffer from Qi exhaustion before he even reached the halfway point.

While he was thinking about galaxies, Zhou Fan felt himself nearing earth. He braced himself for the worst, and eventually saw the earth and the space surrounding it.

After seeing it, Zhou Fan's first reaction was awe. Floating around the earth, which was still intact, were many giant buildings. If average humans were to live in them, the buildings could comfortably house millions.

Floating around earth were hundreds of such buildings. Some were shaped like circular towers, while some took the form of dragons or even mountains.

Regardless of the design, there was a big entrance leading to each of them. A bridge extended outwards, and eventually, what seemed like a bubble wall led into the buildings. That bubble wall was clearly there to separate the air and the harsh space.

After his initial feelings of awe, Zhou Fan started to feel excited. The main reason he felt so excited was because one of the buildings was designed to look like a yellow dragon. It was the biggest among all of them by many times, and above the entrance was a plaque that read "Huang Long Academy".

Seeing it, Zhou Fan couldn't help but feel nostalgia. It had been a long time since he had even thought about the Huang Long academy. Although the time he spent there was miniscule compared to the time he spent on the Zhou world and in the Zhou solar system, the huang long academy still had a small place in his heart.

After all, it was one of the first things he had ever created. After looking at it, Zhou Fan looked at the other buildings. A common theme among them was the word sect.

It seemed that all of the buildings belonged to important people or organizations. He had already guessed that such things would form after he left, so Zhou Fan wasn't that surprised by it.

Despite all his happy feelings, he also felt sad. It was clear that the cultivators of the Zhou world were too weak to reach other solar systems, but too strong to be contained on the tiny planet of earth.

Before he did anything to change their situation, Zhou Fan wanted to visit the Huang long academy. He flew down to the dragon structure's mouth, which had a tongue sticking out, and landed on the tongue.

The tongue happened to be the entrance to the entire Huang long academy. He started walking down the tongue and into the mouth, but as soon as he passed the bubble that separated space and air, Zhou Fan was met by a group of five guards dressed in golden armor holding spears that were pointed at him.

"Who are you, state your name and reason for entry." The one in the middle of the five said.

Although the guards were acting brave, they were secretly sweating. One had to know that very few people had reached the void traversing realm in the time Zhou Fan had left. Specifically, only 111 had. Therefore, only a hundred and eleven people had the ability to fly in space without any special armor or vehicle.

That meant that Zhou Fan was either one of those hundred and eleven people, who were easily recognizable since they were all sect masters, or someone unknown.

"My name is Zhou Fan. Does that ring a bell?" Zhou Fan responded.

Out of the five guards, four of them looked confused and shook their heads. The one in the middle, however, widened his eyes when he heard the name.

Although it was difficult to believe him from a few words, the guard didn't believe that someone at the void traversing realm would stoop so low as to impersonate their founder.

"Sir, please wait here. I will call down one of the grand elders." He said before pulling out a talisman.

Zhou Fan was surprised when he saw the talisman since he had never invented it before he left, and the people of the Zhou world had also invented it, but he didn't say anything. It seemed that formations and arrays would naturally inspire someone to create talismans, no matter the race or location.

Just seconds after the guard used the talisman, a powerful presence at the 3rd level of void traversing descended.

"Who dares impersonate our founder!?" The voice roared. Although Zhou Fan had never heard the voice before, he couldn't help but smile.

Soon, an old man dressed in yellow robes with a gray mustache that reached his knees and a gray beard that reached the floor barged through the door into the big hallway.

He was seconds away from screaming in anger, but when he saw Zhou Fan's face, his anger deflated in an instant.

"....!?!?"
