Hahahaha! "
At this moment, an ear-piercing laughter came from behind the Academy Patriarch.
The Academy Patriarch didn't turn around, but he wasn't surprised.
There were less than ten people in the Academy who could see through his trick, and this person behind him was one of them.
Elder Xuan stood not far away and crossed his arms. He was gloating and mocking, "I didn't expect you to have such a day, hehe!"
"What a coincidence!"
The Sect Master of the Academy turned around and looked at Elder Xuan, who was not far away, as he asked with a smile.
"Heh, this isn't a coincidence."
Elder Xuan twisted his lips and said, "I've been waiting for you for a year! Others don't know you, but I do! "
"With your temper, you wouldn't be able to tolerate someone who could form the tenth step on your Steps of Wisdom."
"But I didn't expect you to be able to tolerate it for a year before sneaking over. If you didn't come, I would have left. "
The Academy Patriarch didn't show any embarrassment after being seen through. He only shook his head and laughed, "You're really free."
"Hehe!"
Elder Xuan laughed again and said, "Not only did you sneak over, but you also set up a trick to prevent others from finding out."
"You're obviously not confident. You know you can't pass the tenth step!"
Elder Xuan and the Academy Patriarch had known each other for many years. Elder Xuan was extremely intelligent and meticulous. He had never seen the Academy Patriarch suffer.
Now that the Academy Patriarch was embarrassed, Elder Xuan was very excited.
"Let's not talk about me. Do you want to try?"
The Academy Patriarch smiled and asked.
"I'm not going to try!"
Elder Xuan rolled his eyes and twisted his lips, "What if I can't even pass your Steps of Wisdom? Won't it be embarrassing? You want to catch me red-handed? No way! "
The Academy Patriarch smiled.
"But, come to think of it."
Elder Xuan suddenly asked seriously, "What's the Dao Heart's will on the tenth step?"
"I'm not sure."
The Patriarch of the Academy shook his head and said, "This kind of willpower is extremely brave and powerful. It has the sharpness of Sword Tao, unyielding resistance, fearlessness, and freedom …"
"I've seen millions of Dao hearts, but I've never seen a Dao heart like this."
"Who cares?"
Elder Xuan waved his hand and said, "Anyway, he's a good seedling. When he becomes a True Immortal, we'll see who can take him in."
"No problem."
The Patriarch of the Academy nodded and smiled. He flicked his sleeves and was about to leave.
"What? You're not going to try again after failing once?"
Elder Xuan raised his eyebrows and instigated.
"If I try again and fail, won't I be mocked by you again?"
The voice of the Patriarch of the Academy was heard, but his figure had already disappeared.
At the same time, the camouflage around the Dao Heart Stairs disappeared without a trace.
A gentle breeze blew past, but there was no one beside the Daoist Heart Stairs.
Elder Xuan had also left at some point.
Peace was restored here.
… …
In a cave abode in the inner sect, a Level Nine Heavenly Immortal was done with his teasing. He slowly opened his eyes and floated down from the futon. It was the inner sect disciple of the Academy, Yang Ruoxu.
Not far away, there was a young boy standing there.
"Young Master, your seclusion this time was so short?"
The boy quickly brewed a pot of tea and served it to Yang Ruoxu.
"My cultivation has hit a bottleneck. It's hard to improve if I just cultivate in seclusion."
Yang Ruoxu shook his head slightly and took the teacup. He took a deep sniff and drank the hot tea in one gulp.
He had been a Level Nine Heavenly Immortal for some time.
But to break through the barrier between Heavenly Immortal and True Immortal was as difficult as ascending to the heavens!
The gap between Heavenly Immortal and True Immortal was like a huge chasm. Even if the Mystic Eon, Earth Eon, and Sky Eon Eon Eon were added together, they could not compare.
There were hundreds of thousands of inner sect disciples in the Academy.
Many of them were stuck at the Level Nine Heavenly Immortal level.
There were even some Level Nine Heavenly Immortals who could not become True Immortals their entire lives and step into the True Self Realm.
As for these Level Nine Heavenly Immortals, as they grew older and saw that there was no hope for them to break through, they could only take on the role of Elder in the inner sect.
Those who could enter the Qiankun Academy were all geniuses who had been selected by the waves.
But even so, there were still many who could not step into the True Self Realm. It was clear how difficult it was!
One had to know that there were only a few hundred core disciples in the Academy.
Yang Ruoxu was not in a hurry and was calm.
He was not old, less than a hundred thousand years old. He had enough time.
As long as he had a fortuitous encounter or some rare opportunity, he might be able to step into the True Self Realm!
"Did anything happen in the Academy in the past year?"
Yang Ruoxu asked casually.
The boy said, "Nothing much. In the past year, the most discussed topic in the Academy was Young Master Su's passing of the Dao Heart Ladder and forming the Level Ten."
"Oh."
Yang Ruoxu replied indifferently, "This matter has a huge impact and might become the topic of discussion in the Academy for a period of time in the future."
"Young master, I heard that you have a close relationship with Young Master Su. Why didn't you meet him this time round?"
The boy was curious and frowned slightly. "Young master, you're a lone wolf in the inner sect without any close friends. Isn't it good to interact more with Young Master Su?"
A year ago, when Su Zimo passed the trial of the Dao Heart Ladder and formed the Level Ten, Yang Ruoxu received the news immediately.
However, he did not head to the Dao Heart Ladder and chose to meet Su Zimo to congratulate him.
The boy was happy to see Yang Ruoxu that day and specially opened a jar of wine, standing in front of his cave abode to congratulate Su Zimo from afar.
The boy was puzzled.
Yang Ruoxu said, "I have many enemies in the Academy. Interacting with him will only bring him trouble."
"That won't happen."
The boy said, "The only ones who have some enmity with you are Fang Qingyun and the others. I heard that Young Master Su has already been accepted as a disciple by the Patriarch. If you can interact more with him, Fang Qingyun and the others will definitely not dare to find trouble with you. "
Yang Ruoxu remained silent and merely shook his head.
He knew that Su Zimo had been accepted as an in-name disciple by the Patriarch of the Academy.
However, there was a huge difference between an in-name disciple and a true disciple.
Furthermore, even if they were a true disciple, Su Zimo would be ranked behind the Moonlight Sword Immortal.
Be it status or cultivation realm, Su Zimo was inferior to the Moonlight Sword Immortal.
He had a feeling that the one who wanted to deal with him was not Fang Qingyun and the others, but the personal disciple of the Patriarch of the Academy, the Moonlight Sword Immortal!
The origin of this hostility was because of the immortal sect selection more than a thousand years ago.
That time, he was spared because of the appearance of the Painting Immortal Mo Qing.
A year ago, there was another change in the outer sect of the Academy.
That time, for some reason, when he was in danger, the Painting Immortal Mo Qing actually appeared again and saved him!
Was this just a coincidence?
