The first thought that flashed through Billy’s mind was whether the Purple Spirit had been absorbed by that supreme treasure!
Without wasting any time, he quickly directed his spiritual sense into his body to investigate.
However, he soon felt relieved because he easily found the Purple Spirit, still in a deep sleep.
He was puzzled. If the Purple Spirit was fine, why couldn’t Xavier detect her with his cultivation level?
Not only was he puzzled, but Opal and Casey were also perplexed. However, no one spoke.
“Are you sure that supreme treasure is inside your body?” Elder Xavier asked again.
“Yes!” Billy nodded after retracting his spiritual sense. “That sacred object comes from an advanced civilization. Even those above the Otherworldly Realm can’t detect it!”
Since Xavier couldn’t detect the Purple Spirit, he didn’t mention it.
“Really?” Elder Xavier stared intently at Billy.
“Really!” Billy nodded and continued, “If I join the institute, it will undoubtedly bring a lot of trouble, so Elder Xavier should think twice!”
“I’ll take you to the institute first!” Elder Xavier said after a brief consideration.
“Elder Xavier…” Billy started to speak again.
“The institute doesn’t seek trouble, but it isn’t afraid of it either!” Elder Xavier interrupted him.
“Then I’ll trouble Elder Xavier!” Billy continued.
Shortly after, Elder Xavier led Billy and the others into the air.
About fifteen minutes later, they stopped in mid-air, two to three hundred kilometers away from the main city.
“Elder Xavier, are we there?” Stout asked.
“Yes!” Elder Xavier nodded.
As he spoke, his aura continued to rise. He then flipped his hands, forming a complex pattern and launched it into the void ahead, causing a gust of wind.
Amazingly, the phantom pattern containing violent energy disappeared without a trace in mid-air a thousand meters away, as if it had never appeared.
The void fell silent again.
“Elder Xavier, are you sure this is the right place?” Stout asked with a twitch at the corner of his mouth.
Before Stout’s words had fully fallen, a massive air vortex suddenly appeared a thousand meters away, stirring the void violently.
Even though they were a thousand meters away, Billy and the others could vaguely feel a powerful suction pulling them toward the vortex.
Without thinking much, everyone quickly activated their powers to resist.
“Relax, don’t resist!” Elder Xavier instructed.
“Elder Xavier, are you sure this is the correct way to enter Canyon View Institute?” Judge couldn’t help but ask.
Casey and others also looked at Elder Xavier.
Although it was their first time going to Canyon View Institute, it was clear that this method of entering seemed unusual.
“The formal way to enter the institute is too cumbersome; I’m taking you through the back door!” Elder Xavier replied.
“Let’s go!” Elder Xavier continued. “Just follow me!”
After speaking, he walked toward the center of the vortex in mid-air.
Billy and the others exchanged glances before following him.
Soon, they arrived near the vortex.
Just as they were about to ask Elder Xavier what to do next, the suction force of the vortex suddenly increased several times. Without any chance to resist, they were directly sucked in.
After a bout of dizziness and blurred vision, everyone except Elder Xavier and White Feather fell onto a grassy field, including Billy.
The feeling wasn’t much different from using a teleportation array; their stomachs churned.
“Elder Xavier, next time we come to Canyon View Institute, let’s use the formal way. We’re not in a hurry!” Stout said, rubbing his buttocks.
Night Orchid and Frostblade chuckled softly.
Then, everyone roughly looked around.
They were in a valley with towering trees on both sides. Occasionally, the roars of fierce beasts could be heard.
A few kilometers away from the valley entrance, a large estate could be seen faintly. It was estimated to cover at least a million square meters.
“Elder Xavier, is that Canyon View Institute?” Azure Dragon pointed towards the estate and asked.
“Yes!” Elder Xavier nodded. “Let’s go to the institute!”
After speaking, he led them out of the valley.
Along the way, everyone could clearly feel that the concentration of spiritual energy here was much higher than in Canyon View City below.
“Elder Xavier, why is the spiritual energy so dense here?” Amber asked.
“Because the Spiritual Line Origin of this planet is located within the institute!” Elder Xavier responded.
“I see!” Everyone understood.
They all thought of Purple Spirit. If Purple Spirit devoured the Spiritual Line Origin here, would she become much stronger?
“You mentioned earlier that you have a sacred object in your body. Were you trying to test my reaction?” Elder Xavier glanced at Billy and continued speaking.
“Elder Xavier overthinks it. I just didn’t want to trouble you…” Billy was slightly stunned.
“You wanted to see if I would become greedy knowing you have a supreme treasure in your body!” Elder Xavier interrupted him.
“This is human nature; there’s no need to deny it. If I were in your position, I would do the same!”
Billy’s mouth twitched slightly.
It was clear that this was indeed his intention. If Elder Xavier had shown greed on the spot, he wouldn’t have followed him to the institute.
“Elder Xavier, what’s your relationship with Canyon View Institute?” Billy changed the topic and asked.
“Do you know why I agreed to bring you to the institute?” Elder Xavier didn’t answer his question directly.
“I don’t know!” Billy shook his head. He really didn’t know!
“Canyon View Institute has gradually changed over time.” Elder Xavier mused. “This is understandable; As the the institute grows, people with an ulterior motive infiltrate. Moreover, men are born greedy!”
After pausing for a moment, he continued, “But from you, I see a sense of righteousness. This is exactly what the institute currently lacks!”
“Elder Xavier flatters me!” Billy smiled faintly.
“No need for modesty!” Elder Xavier waved his hand. “I’ve lived for nearly two hundred years; I can still judge people well!”
Without waiting for Billy to respond, he continued, “Can you promise me something?”
“What does Elder Xavier mean?” Billy was slightly stunned.
“In due time, when you have the ability to help the institute and if the institute indeed needs help, will you lend a hand?” Elder Xavier asked solemnly.
“Elder Xavier, aren’t you overestimating me?” Billy was stunned again. The mighty Canyon View Institute needing his help? It seemed unrealistic!
“You just need to answer yes or no!” Elder Xavier insisted.
“If that day truly comes, I will certainly help!” Billy nodded.
“Thank you!” Elder Xavier replied.
While they were talking, they arrived at the east gate of the institute.
“Who goes there?” A guard at the gate looked at them and shouted.
