2485 Exposed True Body
Immortal qi shrouded Heaven and Earth Palace and a dense mist rose. A figure sat in a lotus position at the front, faintly visible.
As Su Zimo entered the Heaven and Earth Palace, the immortal qi in the palace dissipated gradually, revealing the tall and straight figure of the Sect Master of the Academy.
“Greetings, Sect Master.”
Su Zimo stood not far away and bowed.
The Sect Master of the Academy opened his eyes. His eyes seemed to reflect the vast starry skies and the rumbling mortal world, emitting a strange divine light as he smiled. “Why? As an in-name disciple, you’re not even willing to call me master?”
The moment Su Zimo met with the eyes of the Sect Master of the Academy, his heart was stirred by an invisible force.
Although the Sect Master of the Academy seemed like he was questioning, there was no reproach or displeasure in his tone.
Su Zimo did not feel any pressure either.
On the contrary, he felt a sense of guilt.
“Greetings, master.”
Su Zimo lowered his head slightly and bowed once more, greeting.
The Sect Master of the Academy said warmly, “It’s fine. If you’re unwilling to join my lineage, you can choose from the other Immortal King elders after you advance to the Perfected One realm.”
“Given your talent, no Immortal King elder will reject you.”
Pausing for a moment, the Sect Master of the Academy suddenly asked, “Are you displeased that I didn’t punish Yue Hua severely for today’s matter?”
“I wouldn’t dare.”
Su Zimo replied honestly.
The Sect Master of the Academy shook his head and chuckled. “Your reply implies that you do feel displeased indeed.”
Su Zimo remained silent as a form of acknowledgment.
The Sect Master of the Academy said, “Yue Hua is the number one Perfected Immortal of the academy after all. In the future, at the Nine Firmament Meet, he will still represent the academy to fight for the Perfected Immortal Ranking. I have to give him some face.”
“However, don’t worry. Once you advance to the Perfected One realm and become a legacy disciple, I can make the decision to let you and Mo Qing become Dao companions as soon as possible.”
“Huh?”
Su Zimo was stunned and had a shocked expression.
He could not react for a moment—why did the Sect Master suddenly mention him and Senior Sister Mo Qing?
The Sect Master of the Academy smiled. “For us immortality cultivators, in order to become Dao companions, fate is required. That is something accumulated over several lifetimes and can’t be forced. Although Yua Hua has courted Mo Qing for many years, it’s clear that she has feelings for you all these years. I’ve seen all of that.”
“No, master, you might have misunderstood…”
Su Zimo wanted to explain.
The Sect Master of the Academy smiled gently. “Don’t worry, I’ll stand up for you on this matter.”
Su Zimo realized that he might not be able to explain himself for this.
For many years, Senior Sister Mo Qing had been reclusive and rarely appeared, let alone interacted with anyone.
However, over the years, she had been to his cave abode often. Naturally, it was easy for people to associate her with him.
Furthermore, Senior Sister Mo Qing had helped him many times. The last time, she even followed him to Cangyun Mountain to confront the Perfected Immortal experts of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom!
Nobody would believe that the two of them were just ordinary fellow sect mates.
Su Zimo remained silent.
He had already accepted Senior Sister Mo Qing’s painting. If nothing went wrong, she should not look for him again.
As time passed by and the two of them did not interact much, everyone would naturally understand.
If he were to explain it forcefully now, it might only make things worse.
“Additionally, I heard about the battle at Absolute Thunder City.”
The Sect Master of the Academy said indifferently, “King Jin came to look for me. I only just sent him away and this will be the end of that matter.”
Although the Sect Master of the Academy said it casually, Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat!
Actually, he had already expected that the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom would not let him off after causing such a huge commotion in Absolute Thunder City.
However, he had not expected that King Jin would appear personally for this matter!
Although the Sect Master of the Academy said it casually, Su Zimo knew in his heart that if not for the fact that the Sect Master of the Academy had mediated and held back King Jin for him, he would most likely be a dead man by now!
The Sect Master of the Academy did not elaborate on what happened between them after King Jin arrived.
However, one could imagine that the Sect Master of the Academy must have paid a price for it. Perhaps there was a fight between the two of them or the Sect Master of the Academy had to compromise on something before he could send King Jin away to end this matter.
It was no wonder why the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom was so quiet during this period of time without any reaction.
“Thank you, master!”
Su Zimo bowed deeply to the Sect Master of the Academy.
Although the Sect Master of the Academy did not explain much, he knew the danger and pressure involved.
“Rise.”
A look of relief flashed through the eyes of the Sect Master of the Academy. “Since I’ve taken you in, I naturally have to ensure your safety.”
“Fang Qingyun is already dead. Heaven and Earth Academy can only rely on you for the Heaven Ranking this time round.”
“Don’t worry, master!”
Su Zimo said in a deep voice, “I’m bent on getting my hands on the top of the Heaven Ranking!”
The top of the Heaven Ranking was secondary.
It was mainly because he and Yun Ting would eventually meet in the ranking battle of the Heaven Ranking and there would inevitably be a battle between the two of them!
Su Zimo wanted Yun Ting’s Human Slaying Sword Art while Yun Ting wanted his Heaven and Earth Slaying Sword Arts!
If nothing went wrong, whoever won would be the top of the Heaven Ranking.
“Don’t be careless.”
The Sect Master of the Academy shook his head gently. “From what I know, Yun Ting has already cultivated to become a Grade 9 Heaven Immortal. There’s a difference of three realms between you and him. Also, your Hell Suppression Tripod was snatched away by Desolate Martial…”
At that point, the Sect Master of the Academy paused for a moment.
Su Zimo’s expression was unchanged.
Although he did not raise his head to look, he could sense the gaze of the Sect Master of the Academy watching him, as though he was observing something.
Yun Zhu was right. If she could deduce that the Bronze Square Tripod that the Green Lotus True Body once possessed was the Hell Suppression Tripod, the Sect Master of the Academy would naturally be able to guess as well.
However, even if the Sect Master of the Academy could divine everything and see through the heavenly secrets, there was no way he could divine the origin of the Martial Dao Prime Body.
Upon knowing that the Hell Suppression Tripod was in the hands of Desolate Martial, almost everyone would instinctively think that Desolate Martial snatched it away from him.
That was also the most logical explanation.
The reason why Yun Zhu could deduce the relationship between him and Desolate Martial was mainly because he revealed a clue in Avici.
However, the Sect Master of the Academy did not know what happened in Avici. Coupled with the fact that he could not divine the origin of the Martial Dao Prime Body, it was only natural for his guess to take off in the wrong direction.
The Sect Master of the Academy’s pause was extremely short and almost imperceptible.
He continued, “Your Hell Suppression Tripod was snatched away by Desolate Martial. On the pretext that you do not use your bloodline, there’s no way you can defeat Yun Ting.”
“Mmm?”
Su Zimo was shocked!
He could still maintain his composure at the mention of the Hell Suppression Tripod and Desolate Martial.
However, when he heard the Sect Master of the Academy mention him not using his bloodline, his heart skipped a beat.
The Sect Master of the Academy was clearly hinting at something!
Su Zimo also knew that there was no way he could hide the massive emotional fluctuation he just had from the Sect Master of the Academy.
He took a deep breath and looked up.
Towards Su Zimo who looked like he was facing a great enemy, the Sect Master of the Academy smiled. “There’s no need to be nervous. I’ve long sensed your Creation Green Lotus bloodline.”
