2281 Organizing the Heavenly Secrets

“A legacy disciple!”

Princess Scarlet Rainbow and Liu Ping were shocked.

They had just joined the inner sect and knew almost nothing about the legacy ground of the academy.

Elder Zhong explained, “The Nine Great Elders are all Immortal King experts. Typically, inner sect disciples only have a chance to join the Nine Great Elders and become legacy disciples after entering the Perfected One realm.”

“But now, Su Zimo’s ascension of the Dao Heart Stairs caused the Nine Great Elders to appear at the same time. This is the first time in the history of Heaven and Earth Academy.”

“Who knows, perhaps the Nine Great Elders are indeed harboring thoughts of taking in a disciple in advance.”

Liu Ping smiled. “I was not wrong to call him my senior brother. To think that Senior Brother Su would have such an opportunity.”

Princess Scarlet Rainbow lamented as well, “If he can become a legacy disciple, it will indeed be a meteoric rise.”

The three of them were not discussing loudly. However, due to the silence around them, Fang Qingyun and the others who were not far away heard everything clearly.

“You must be dreaming.”

Fang Qingyun raised his brow and said, “Everyone knows that there’s a prerequisite for becoming a legacy disciple—you have to advance to the Perfected One realm and become a Perfected Immortal.”

“I was just mentioning it casually.”

Elder Zhong was unwilling to argue with Fang Qingyun and replied with a smile.

However, Fang Qingyun was unwilling to stop there. “Elder Zhong, you’ve been in the inner sect for a while now and should know some things. Even in the legacy ground, not all legacy disciples have a chance to join the Nine Great Elders!”

That was indeed the truth.

There were hundreds of legacy disciples in Heaven and Earth Academy and less than half of them could join the Nine Great Elders.

Fang Qingyun shook his head gently and chuckled. “Even if Su Zimo ascends the Dao Heart Stairs, his cultivation realm is too low. He’s only a Grade 1 Heaven Immortal. How is he qualified to join the Nine Great Elders?”

Right then, the oldest Grand Elder with a white beard in midair coughed gently and said slowly, “Su Zimo’s Dao Heart is strong and he’s talented. However, his cultivation realm is too low. I’m afraid he’s not suitable for the rest of you guys. Coincidentally, I’m still lacking a final disciple…”

“You’re wrong.”

Elder Three said hurriedly, “It’s nothing much if his cultivation realm is low, that can be compensated. I have Essence Spirit Stones and sufficient Essence Spirit Liquid with me. If I nurture him with all my might, I’ll be able to help him advance to the Perfected One realm within 50,000 years!”

He was in charge of many cultivation resources of Heaven and Earth Academy and naturally had the confidence to say that.

“That’s using your position for personal gain.”

Elder Two said sinisterly, “If you break the sect rules, I won’t show any mercy!”

Pausing for a moment, he continued, “I heard that this lad is decisive to kill and is cold-blooded and heartless. In my opinion, my legacy is the most suitable for him to inherit. It’s not impossible for him to be in charge of discipline in the academy in the future as well.”

“You guys!”

The Grand Elder raised his walking stick and knocked a few times heavily. He blew his beard and glared. “I’m already in my twilight years and don’t have much lifespan left. On account of this, don’t fight with me!”

“Grand Elder, that’s two different things.”

Elder Six smiled faintly. “My disciples are all female cultivators and I happen to lack a male disciple. I think Su Zimo is not bad.”

Elder Six had a voluptuous figure. Although she was middle-aged, her skin was still smooth and delicate. She had an outstanding aura and even a gentle smile carried a unique charm.

“I heard that he went on a massacre at the 10,000 Year Meet!”

Suddenly, Elder Five spoke with a voice that was like metal clashing. “This lad is so murderous and is most suitable to cultivate under my lead. All of you, don’t fight with me!”

In midair, the Nine Great Elders started arguing, causing the tens of thousands of academy disciples below to be dumbfounded.

In the hearts of many academy disciples, the Nine Great Elders were mysterious existences that were high and mighty in the academy.

To think that they would be like ordinary people right now, arguing endlessly for the sake of a disciple of the academy—none of them were willing to give in easily.

Fang Qingyun’s smile froze on his face with an awkward expression.

It was only at that moment that he realized that the impact of ascending the Dao Heart Stairs in Heaven and Earth Academy was much greater than he had imagined!

Fang Qingyun lowered his head slightly to hide the gloominess in his eyes.

If Su Zimo were to truly join the Nine Great Elders and become a legacy disciple, Su Zimo’s status in the academy would be above him!

Initially, even if he lost this time round, he had many methods to deal with Su Zimo.

However, if Su Zimo was a legacy disciple, he would not dare to act rashly!

…

On the Dao Heart Stairs, Su Zimo was undergoing the final Dao Heart Trial and naturally could not sense everything that was happening outside.

He did not know that the outside world had almost fallen apart because of his actions!

The will contained in the Wisdom Step was naturally not as impactful on Su Zimo’s Dao Heart as the Killing Step and Sword Dao Step.

However, the wisdom and will left behind on this stone step was all-encompassing and vast.

Astronomical and calendar reading, secret skills, astral absorption, weather comprehension, divination, feng shui, visualization, talisman deciphering, auspicious selection and lot picking…

The wisdom and will of the stone step contained endless information and secrets that could see through the world and explore the vast universe in an unfathomable manner.

Those things seemed to have transformed into countless strange foreign runes that contained mysterious heavenly secrets that surged into his consciousness continuously.

The runes were dense and covered the skies endlessly.

The heart of the Martial Dao burned with raging flames and refined the strange runes that swarmed over from the will of wisdom continuously.

The will of the Wisdom Step could not shake the heart of the Martial Dao either.

The flames of war in the Martial Dao Heart intensified and his fighting spirit intensated!

However, the ninth stone step did not seem like it was merely a test of one’s Dao Heart.

The countless strange runes were still attacking Su Zimo’s mind!

Su Zimo was in the vast dark starry skies and was surrounded by endless strange runes. He felt as though he was about to be drowned and his head was about to explode!

Although he did not recognize those runes, each of them contained the supreme wisdom of the Sect Master.

Given his current cultivation realm, his consciousness could not withstand these profound and endless runes.

On the ninth stone step, Su Zimo’s figure swayed slightly, as though he was about to fall from above.

In his consciousness, the Green Lotus Essence Spirit waved the Trinity Auspicious Jade, wanting to defend against the endless strange runes around it.

However, even the mighty power of the Trinity Auspicious Jade could not knock down the runes.

Right then, the Primordial Unity Horsetail Whip in the Green Lotus Essence Spirit’s other hand flew out of his palm and flicked gently in his consciousness a couple of times.

Strangely enough, after the jade handle and white threads of the Primordial Unity Horsetail Whip swayed a few times in his consciousness, the runes that surged in suddenly quietened down in an orderly manner.

The three thousand threads sorted out the heavenly secrets!

Under the combing of the Primordial Unity Horsetail Whip, the runes gradually left Su Zimo’s mind.

“Strange.”

Su Zimo could clearly sense that there seemed to be some power similar to the strange runes on the Primordial Unity Horsetail Whip, as though they originated from the same source.

The Primordial Unity Horsetail Whip was triggered by the strange runes and its green jade handle shone, as though a seal had been removed.

At the same time, a lineage memory surged into Su Zimo’s mind!
