The Dao of the Primordial World

Chapter 15 - The Academy's Forbidden Area

Li Yi aimlessly wandered around in the forest. He did not notice that the number of people in the direction he was heading towards was getting fewer and fewer.

"Hey!" The forbidden grounds of the academy! " Li Yi suddenly realized that there was a stone tablet in front of him. The words "Forbidden Area" was written on the stone tablet, and he couldn't help but say it out loud.

Li Yi had long heard that there was a forbidden area located at the northeastern part of the forest that was close to the Sword Mountain, and was separated by a magical enchantment. He didn't expect that since Wu Dao had arrived, Li Yi would be interested in it.

Li Yi released his divine sense and observed the enchantment. The barrier covered a large area, all the way to the halfway point of the mountain. In a short moment, Li Yi figured out why it was a barrier. It was made of wood, and a very strong defensive spell was formed in front of the caster to block off the powerful attacks. The ability to cast forbidden spells was the symbol of a mage reaching the level of Saint, but it didn't mean that a saint could cast forbidden spells as they pleased. A mage who had just reached the level of Saint would only be able to cast forbidden spells once every time, and after casting the forbidden spell, their magic power would basically be depleted. Therefore, mages who had just reached the level of Saint would normally not practice useless magic like the Wooden Clear Screen. In this place, the Wooden Time Screen used the strong wood element in the forest to form a barrier, circulating unceasingly. To achieve the purpose of protection, Sword Sage cultivators and below could not even dream of breaking through it. With his creativity, Li Yi couldn't help but praise.

This could not stop Li Yi from walking forward.

Li Yi casually waved his hand, and a small barrier made of wood appeared around him. Li Yi slowly merged into the barrier, and quietly entered without disturbing the original barrier and its owner.

The view in front of him was more or less the same as the outside of the barrier. The further he went in, the more Li Yi realised that there were differences in this area. In front of them was a pond. The lotus leaves were green and the lotus flowers were blooming. Occasionally, small animals would come and go. Around the pond, there were a dozen or so houses that were arranged in a neat and tidy manner. Li Yi knew immediately that this was the place that others hid themselves.

"Little kid, who brought you in!" Just as Li Yi was enjoying the scene in front of him excitedly, a kind old man with white hair and a silver beard suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Greetings, old sir," Li Yi cupped his fists and said, "I was just passing by and was curious to see what would happen to you. Please forgive me."

"Kid, you are handsome and extraordinary. You are not the child of an ordinary family, why are you talking about desolation? Is the barrier at the forbidden area something you can enter? " The old man was slightly angry.

"Hehe!" "A little trick on the part of Mu Zhiqing." Li Yi smiled faintly.

"Hm!" You actually know the name of the barrier. " The old man's interest was piqued. "Tell me how you came in."

Li Yi casually waved his hand, forming a small wooden barrier enchantment around him, and casually said: "This was how I came in."

"That's fine too." The old man said with his eyes wide open. The old man was surprised. He didn't think that this was something ordinary people could think of and do.

Suddenly, the old man's eyes lit up, he looked at Li Yi up and down, as though Li Yi was already a plate of delicious food, and spoke: "Genius, genius!"

"Old Hou, what time did you bring a child in? Could it be that you have the urge to take him in as a disciple?"

At this time, two middle-aged men came over from the side. They were tall and sturdy and had similar appearances.

"Brother Sikong, quickly come here and see how is my new disciple." The old man hurriedly said.

"When did I become your disciple?" Li Yi stared at the old man and said with a smile that was not a smile.

"Old Hou, could it be that you stole the child?" Looking at Li Yi in front of him, he couldn't help but praise him in his heart for his good looks and talent.

"To think that I, a marquis, would want to do nothing, taking you in as my disciple is your fortune. If it were anyone else, I would still be unwilling!" The old man said awkwardly.

"Hehe!" Old Master, I can see that you are only at the late stage of the Shakyamuni Realm, you don't have the qualifications to take me in as your disciple, "Li Yi said as he looked into the distance." Besides, cultivation is only a small path.

When the three of them heard this, they were shocked.

"What arrogance, what arrogance." Although the old man was shocked, he still had his own pride. "I'll let you experience it, suffer a bit, and get taught a lesson. Let's see if you still dare to talk like that."

"Wood Cage." The old man casually said.

Following which, a light green cage surrounded Li Yi.

"I already said that you are not qualified," Li Yi waved his hand, and the newly formed wooden cage scattered with the wind, "I will let you experience it!"

"Wooden cage," Li Yi casually replied.

Suddenly, the wood element began to gather around the old man, forming a cage made of green light.

The old man and the two middle-aged men were stupefied.

It was fine if everyone was surprised that Li Yi had casually dispelled the old man's magic. When Li Yi casually released a wood cage that looked real, the three of them were not shocked, but shocked.

"How is that possible? How old is he?" Suddenly, the old man's body shook, he suddenly thought of the wooden screen that Li Yi had casually set up, was that something normal people could do?

"There's nothing that's impossible, it's just that the small path of magic is extremely difficult to master," Li Yi said indifferently, as he casually lifted the wooden cage, "If I'm not wrong, you have stayed in this realm for many years already."

"How do you know?" The old man blurted out.

"Spellcaster, use your spiritual energy to control the elements in the air for my own use. This is my goal as a spellcaster." Mental cultivation was very difficult, if he only relied on meditation, it would be difficult for him to reach Mantra God in his entire life. Furthermore, most mages are physically weak and their age is limited. Even if they were to reach the level of a Law Saint, their Elemental Body Refinement is only temporary and they are unable to escape the age limit. It's all because of the cultivation method and the lack of a systematic cultivation method.

"Thank you, young master, for your advice. Just remind the person in your dreams with your words," the old man said as he clasped his hands together. "Is there any way to resolve this?"

"Yes!"

"How?"

"Abandon your cultivation. Or …"

"Or what?" The old man stared in shock.

Li Yi only smiled faintly.

The old man hesitated for a moment before he kneeled down.

"Please accept me as your disciple." The old man's face was determined, but his eyes were firm.

Li Yi secretly nodded in his heart, his heart of cultivation was strong, and he was not affected by anything foreign.

"Old Hou, you can't!" The two middle-aged men hurriedly said.

"I have given up everything in my life for the sake of training, hoping to break through the void one day." I have long since put aside the common sense of the world. As the saying goes, no one grows up, and those who reach it take precedence. There is no one who is superior to others in their studies. Those who are capable will become masters. " The elder had a pious look on his face.

"Good!" Good! "Alright!" Li Yi praised, he had been practicing all along, "Stand up first, the two masters are coming."
