The atmosphere in the room was heavy, mixed with awe and longing. The family gathering only ended late into the night before everyone retired.0

When Liu Wuxie returned to his quarters, he replayed his grandfather's words in his mind. He knew it wasn't sustainable for him to stay in the Liu Clan.0

Though the laws in the Central Plains provided better cultivation conditions for him, the clan's environment was far too comfortable. Under the protection of his grandfather and parents, it would be tough for him to obtain much growth. This wasn't what he wanted, and his goal in coming to the Central Plains was to search for his parents and explore the grandeur of this continent.0

"I must join the Heavenly Spirit Celestial Academy!" Liu Wuxie vowed to himself. He obtained critical information from his grandfather; the Astral Domain Path had to be unlocked to ascend to immortality.0

There were no immortals in the True Martial Continent, and they could only be found in astral realms. He would have to join one of the two academies if he wanted to leave the True Martial Continent to the astral domain. This was a deadlock unless Liu Wuxie abandoned his dream to return to the Celestial Realm.1
