Chapter 2268 - 2268 Earth-grade Secret Pavilion
2268 Earth-grade Secret Pavilion
“Sigh, what’s the need for this…”
Right then, a sigh sounded in the vast darkness.
Immediately after, another tremendous might surged into the spatial tunnel and everyone from Heaven and Earth Academy felt their bodies lighten. The pressure and suffocation from earlier on vanished instantly and they regained their freedom.
Before everyone could react, their five senses were severed once more and the world spun. It was as though they were shuttling through the spatial tunnel once more.
!!
After a dozen breaths, a bedazzling light flashed before everyone’s eyes and their vision gradually returned.
The surroundings were filled with fresh air and rich Heaven and Earth Essence Qi. The plants were sumptuous and filled with vitality. There were jade pavilions and waterfalls flying in the skies. From time to time, cultivators would soar through the air in a carefree manner.
In a flash, everyone had already returned to Heaven and Earth Academy!
“We’re still alive?”
“We seem to have returned safely. Everything before us is not a hallucination, right?”
When everyone recalled the situation earlier on, they felt that it was surreal.
Su Zimo frowned in deep thought and remained silent.
When he ascended, he experienced an Immortal King a.s.sa.s.sination attempt.
However, that time was completely different from this time.
Back then, King Yun You appeared openly without hiding at all.
However, this time round, he did not know who the attacker was. In fact, he was not even sure if the attacker was here for him.
If this person was not targeting him, why would their group provoke an Immortal King expert?
If this person was here for him, what was the reason?
Zither Immortal Meng Yao, Prince Yuan Zuo, the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom or the Pang Clan…
Every faction had a reason to attack him. However, it was as though neither faction was worth mobilizing such a large force.
Unknown enemies were the most terrifying.
Actually, all these years, even after Su Zimo joined Heaven and Earth Academy, he had always felt an inexplicable sense of danger.
Previously, during the Immortal Sect Selection, Prince Yuan Zuo suddenly came looking for him and recognized his ident.i.ty. That matter was a little strange.
Although a long time had pa.s.sed, Su Zimo had been thinking about it.
Was there any connection between that incident and the a.s.sa.s.sination attempt he experienced this time round?
“What happened earlier on?”
Right then, Princess Scarlet Rainbow snapped out of her stupor and could not help but ask, “Why would an Immortal King-level expert target us?”
“I’m not sure either.”
Elder Zhong shook his head. “Immortal Kings are almost peak experts of the upper world and won’t attack casually, let alone deal with us…”
The elders of Heaven and Earth Academy were puzzled as well.
“Who was the one who saved us later on?”
Liu Ping asked curiously.
Elder He said, “If I’m not wrong, it should be the Sect Master.”
The Sect Master of Heaven and Earth Academy!
This person’s status in Divine Firmament Mainland was definitely not weaker than King Jin or King Yan Yang!
Elder Zhong said, “The Sect Master’s wisdom is unparalleled. He can see through Heaven and Earth and divine all living beings. He knows everything. In Divine Firmament Mainland, a huge commotion and killing intent like the attack of an Immortal King would most likely not be able to escape his senses.”
“That’s amazing!”
Liu Ping bit his tongue. “Doesn’t that mean disciples of our academy are able to dominate Divine Firmament Mainland?”
“You must be dreaming.”
Elder Zhong shook his head and smiled. “This time round, the Sect Master only attacked because the difference between us was too great. If it was a fight between the same cultivation realm, the Sect Master would not care. Victory and death are determined by karma. The Sect Master would definitely not interfere forcefully.”
“Oh, I see.”
Liu Ping was slightly disappointed.
“That’s enough.”
Elder Zhong smiled. “No matter what, we survived a calamity. Go back and rest first.”
“Su Zimo, Scarlet Rainbow, Liu Ping, the three of you go back and prepare. About three days later, the Grand Elder will summon you guys to join the inner sect.”
Everyone agreed and dispersed.
“Su Zimo, follow me.”
Elder Zhong continued, “Now that you’re at the top of the Earth Ranking, you can browse through the cultivation techniques and secret skills freely in the sect’s Earth-grade Secret Pavilion.”
“Apart from taking away the secret skills and cultivation techniques in the secret pavilion, there are no restrictions at all for you!”
Su Zimo’s eyes lit up.
A large part of the reason why he spent so much effort to obtain the top of the Earth Ranking was because of this reward!
Actually, although the reward was precious for disciples of the academy, it was nothing much.
After all, this was an Earth-grade Secret Pavilion and the cultivation techniques and secret skills within were not considered top-tier.
Furthermore, for heaven-grade immortal sects like Heaven and Earth Academy, there were countless cultivation techniques and secret skills in the secret pavilion. However, a person’s time and energy were limited and it was impossible for them to cultivate too much.
For ordinary cultivators, it was enough to choose a few cultivation techniques and secret skills suitable for them in the pavilion.
However, Su Zimo’s plan was to digest and absorb all the cultivation techniques and secret skills in Heaven and Earth Academy’s Earth-grade Secret Pavilion!
Naturally, the Green Lotus True Body could not do that. However, the Martial Dao Prime Body could!
The Martial Dao Prime Body had the Martial Dao Furnace and did not need to cultivate at all. He merely had to smelt all the sutras in the secret pavilion to decipher the profoundness within.
The Martial Dao Prime Body was still in seclusion deducing the cultivation Dharmic formulations of the Martial Dao. At that moment, he needed to read a large number of cultivation techniques.
Back then, the reason why Su Zimo could create the Nine Transformations of the Martial Dao in Tianhuang Mainland was because he had once cultivated the immortal, Buddhist, fiend and demon Daos and obtained the inheritance of many Mighty Figure experts. That was the reason why he took another path and established the Martial Dao.
Right now, if he wanted to continue deducing the divine Dharmic formulations of the Martial Dao, the Prime Body would have to smelt cultivation techniques and secret skills continuously to seek experience and inspiration.
The quality of the cultivation techniques in the secret pavilion might not be high.
However, every cultivation technique created and pa.s.sed down contained the endless wisdom of their predecessors.
Furthermore, these were cultivation techniques and secret skills of Heaven and Earth Academy.
Before long, Su Zimo followed Elder Zhong and arrived before the Earth-grade Secret Pavilion of Heaven and Earth Academy.
In front of the secret pavilion, an old man with white hair and beard stood guard. He leaned casually against the door with a broom in his arms and closed his eyes to rest. There was no one else around.
Even when Su Zimo and Elder Zhong approached, the old man did not open his eyes.
Su Zimo could not tell the old man’s cultivation. He could only sense that the old man did not have much lifespan left and was at the end of his road.
When Elder Zhong saw the old man, he was extremely respectful and bowed. “Old Xuan, Su Zimo is the top of the Earth Ranking this time round.”
“Oh?”
Suddenly, the old man opened his eyes and a strange look flashed through them. He sized up Su Zimo for a long time before nodding. “Not bad, not bad. The younger generation is promising indeed.”
The old man praised calmly.
“Go on in.”
The old man s.h.i.+fted slightly and closed his eyes to rest once more.
“Go on in.”
Elder Zhong patted Su Zimo on the shoulder. “If the Grand Elder summons you, I’ll inform you. You can browse inside for the next three days.”
