Eternal Sacred King



"There's definitely more than one person in the Heavenly World who can know your tracks and recognize your appearance even after you disguise yourself."

Yun Zhu said deeply, "However, anyone who can possess such methods is at least an expert at the Immortal King realm. At that time, you were only an Earth Immortal. Why would an Immortal King target you?"

Su Zimo did not tell Yun Zhu about the Green Lotus True Body.

It was still his greatest secret and could bring about a calamity for him—he could not tell it to everyone!

When Yun Zhu saw that Su Zimo was silent, she smiled and said half-jokingly, "From what I know, there's truly such a big shot in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain. He's the Sect Master of the Academy. However, there's no reason for him to do that."

"Furthermore, I was present at the Immortal Sect Selection back then as well. The process was unpredictable and there were a few twists. In the end, Heaven and Earth Academy was the one who protected you and caused Yuan Zuo to return fruitless."

"Yes."

Su Zimo nodded.

Back when he took part in the Immortal Sect Selection, his initial goal was to join Mountain Sea Immortal Sect.

It was only by some freak coincidence that he joined Heaven and Earth Academy.

"The Hell Suppression Tripod in your possession is indeed extremely attractive to Immortal King experts. Given the capabilities of the Sect Master of the Academy, it's not difficult for him to divine that you possess the Hell Suppression Tripod."

Yun Zhu said, "However, if he's after your tripod Hell Suppression Tripod, he could have attacked at any moment. There were way too many opportunities and he did not have to take that additional step."

"My preliminary guess is that an Immortal King knew about the feud between you and Yuan Zuo. Due to his status as an Immortal King, it was inconvenient for him to attack you who was an Earth Immortal. That was why he wrote a letter to Yuan Zuo so that the latter could deal with it."

Su Zimo remained silent.

If it was according to what Yun Zhu had said, things would be simple.

He would have just been overthinking things previously.

Indeed, there was a moment when he suspected the Sect Master of the Academy.

However, upon careful thought, there were many things that did not make sense.

First, it was because of the persistence of Heaven and Earth Academy that he was able to avoid Prince Yuan Zuo's pursuit and survive.

Otherwise, he would have been a corpse by now!

Second, as Yun Zhu had said, if it was truly the Sect Master of the Academy, what was he trying to do?

Be it the Hell Suppression Tripod or his Green Lotus True Body, the Sect Master of the Academy could have attacked a long time ago—how could he have survived till now?

Third, not only did the Sect Master of the Academy take him in as an in-name disciple, he even saved his life!

Back then, their group was hunted by an Immortal King expert on their way back from the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom after taking part in the fight for the Earth Ranking.

It was because of the attack of the Sect Master of the Academy that they were spared!

Su Zimo had a feeling the entire time that the Immortal King's assassination attempt was most likely targeted at him!

Furthermore, the Sect Master of the Academy even gave him a Teleportation Jade Badge.

In the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain, it was because of this Teleportation Jade Badge that he could bring Tao Yao out of danger and return to the academy.

Fourth, if it was the Sect Master of the Academy, it would mean that from the moment the letter was sent to the moment Su Zimo joined Heaven and Earth Academy, everything was under the Sect Master's control.

However, was that possible?

Too many variables had happened at the Immortal Sect Selection!

No matter how precise the Sect Master of the Academy was in his calculations, how could he have determined all the variables?

Furthermore, Su Zimo had interacted with the Sect Master of the Academy before. He could not sense any hostility from the Sect Master.

Also, ever since he joined Heaven and Earth Academy, be it the academy or the Sect Master, they had not done anything to let him down.

It would be rather petty of him to start suspecting the Sect Master of the Academy.

Su Zimo had a feeling that the mysterious person who hunted him down with King Yun You back then was most likely the person who sent the letter to Prince Yuan Zuo!

He had heard that person's voice before. It was definitely not the Sect Master of the Academy.

However, this mysterious person also possessed the ability to divine all living beings, see through Heaven and Earth as well as illusions. Although it was similar to the methods of the Sect Master of the Academy, it was deeply hidden.

At the very least, Yun Zhu had never heard of this person.

What did this mysterious person have to do with the assassination attempt after the fight for the Earth Ranking?

"Methods similar to the Sect Master and yet deeply hidden…"

Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat as a figure appeared in his mind.

Old Xuan who guarded the secret pavilions in Heaven and Earth Academy!

Given Old Xuan's status in the academy, there was no way he was merely an old man guarding the secret pavilions.

Back when he condensed the tenth stone step of the Dao Heart Stairs, Old Xuan was present as well.

Old Xuan's attitude towards the Sect Master of the Academy was extremely nonchalant and indifferent, as though he did not take the status of the Sect Master of the Academy seriously at all.

As for the Sect Master of the Academy, he did not take it to heart, as though he acknowledged it silently.

Old Xuan's status in Heaven and Earth Academy was extremely special. Furthermore, Su Zimo had witnessed him tear through the void and leave—it was clear that he was an Immortal King expert!

"Right."

Suddenly, Yun Zhu said, "Over the years, I've searched through some ancient books and visited a few ancient ruins. I found some information about Great Emperor Infinite."

Yun Zhu's words interrupted Su Zimo's thoughts.

"What information?"

Su Zimo asked instinctively.

After all, he was extremely curious about Great Emperor Infinite as well.

Yun Zhu said, "The death of Great Emperor Infinite seems to be related to a chaos that swept through the trichiliocosm and affected all living beings."

"Chaos?"

Su Zimo frowned slightly.

Yun Zhu revealed a puzzled expression as well. "Many ancient books are vague about this chaos. Even now, I'm not sure if it existed."

"Furthermore, there's no record of the origin, process and ending of the chaos."

"I even found some blurry records in some ancient ruins with incomplete words such as Strange, Chaos, Heaven, Earth and Major Chilio."

Su Zimo's expression changed.

Major chilio?

Could it be referring to the major chiliocosm?

Yun Zhu pondered for a moment and suddenly said sternly, "There's one more thing. I've browsed through the ancient books of the past ten eras. The civilization of each era is different. Even the words recorded are strangely different."

"However, all these different eras had two words in common—Fiend Master!"

Su Zimo shuddered.

For some unknown reason, those two words seemed to possess a strange deterrence, causing him to feel uneasy and not want to think too much about it.

"What are the records of this Fiend Master in these eras and civilizations?" Su Zimo asked.

Yun Zhu shook her head. "There are no clear records or any information about the Fiend Master."

Suddenly!

As though she sensed something, Yun Zhu's expression changed!

"Something happened to Tao Yao!"

Yun Zhu said in a deep voice.

"What?"

Su Zimo frowned and his heart skipped a beat.

Yun Zhu said, "Do you still remember that I gave Tao Yao a badge? That badge can actually be considered as a protective spirit treasure and can defend against a single attack from a Perfected Immortal expert."

"I just sensed that the badge was struck by a powerful force!"

Su Zimo's expression darkened. He rushed out of the carriage immediately and sped towards Duanya City with all his might.

Once he arrived at Duanya City and was teleported to the capital of the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom, he would be able to return to Heaven and Earth Academy right away!

Yun Zhu looked at Su Zimo's back view and reminded, "You don't have to worry. The impact of that power should not have reached the level of a Perfected Immortal. Tao Yao is not in danger for the time being."

She stood on the carriage and pondered for a moment before following.
