As soon as this news spread, it caused another massive uproar.
Many people immediately associated the earlier destruction of the Blood Sect and Black Skeleton Tomb with the Gold and Silver Elders.
Such reckless plundering struck fear into the hearts of many factions.
Several forces even began discussing the possibility of joining together to deal with them.
Of course, Ye Chen was unaware of all this for the time being.
After leaving Feng City and traveling several hundred miles, he had found a secluded cave in the nearby mountain range and used a spatial transfer flag to return directly to the Jia Ma Imperial Palace.
This trip to the Black Corner Region had lasted less than a week, yet the resources Ye Chen obtained far exceeded the total reserves of the Jia Ma Empire's treasury.
With such massive resources as support, the empire's overall strength would inevitably develop at a terrifying speed.
Naturally, during the early stages, the Miter Family and Ye Chen's imperial guards benefited the most.
With the cultivation techniques, Dou Skills, and medicinal pills plundered from the Black Corner Region, many people had their latent potential unearthed, causing their strength to soar rapidly.
However, Ye Chen remained in the Jia Ma Empire for only five days before once again using the spatial transfer flag to head back to the Black Corner Region.
Canaan Academy.
An ancient academy located within the Black Corner Region.
For thousands of years, countless peak experts had emerged from this place, each one eventually becoming a renowned figure across the Dou Qi Continent.
What made an academy truly terrifying was not the strength of its instructors, but the sheer number of powerful individuals it had produced.
If Canaan Academy were ever to face a crisis of destruction and summoned back those who had once studied here, the resulting force would be unimaginable.
Though there were countless academies scattered across the continent, Canaan Academy's reputation had never been surpassed.
This alone was enough to illustrate just how deep and terrifying its foundation was.
Across the continent, regardless of race or background, countless people took pride in being able to enter this ancient academy.
Unfortunately, its nearly harsh enrollment requirements left most ordinary people unable to do anything but sigh in resignation.
Every year, Canaan Academy dispatched numerous instructors to nearby empires to recruit students.
Naturally, there were also many who traveled thousands of miles to seek admission on their own.
Within a hundred-mile radius of Canaan Academy, flight was strictly forbidden.
Anyone who dared to forcefully fly through the area would be attacked by the academy's law enforcement teams.
Yet at this very moment, a tall figure streaked through the sky of this forbidden zone, completely undetected.
Below him lay a small town. The streets were bustling with pedestrians, stalls lined both sides of the road, and children ran about laughing and playing.
Compared to the chaos of the Black Corner Region, the atmosphere here felt like an entirely different world.
"As expected of Canaan Academy," Ye Chen glanced down at the town and sighed inwardly.
"To maintain such purity in a place like the Black Corner Region…"
This time, Ye Chen had come to see the famed Canaan Academy for himself.
Of course...
More importantly, he had come to see the academy's beautiful female students and elegant female instructors.
After passing several mountain towns patrolled by Canaan Academy's law enforcement teams, Ye Chen quietly descended into an enormous city.
This city was known as Canaan City, and at its very center stood the famed Canaan Academy, renowned throughout the Dou Qi Continent.
"As expected of the birthplace of the continent's oldest academy. Just the name alone is enough to draw countless people here."
Walking along the broad streets paved with bluestone, Ye Chen could not help but click his tongue inwardly.
The surging flow of people here far surpassed even that of the Jia Ma Empire's imperial capital.
Stalls lined both sides of the streets throughout the city.
However, near the central district of Canaan City, the goods sold were noticeably different from those found elsewhere.
Perhaps due to the academy's proximity, most stalls along this street displayed Dou Skills, cultivation techniques, and medicinal pills.
"Just this broken map, and you dare ask for thirty thousand gold coins? Do you take me for a fool?"
