However, all the clues pointed to the Patriarch of the Academy.
Or rather, someone from the Qiankun Academy!
During the Immortal Sect Selection, Su Zimo's initial choice was not the Qiankun Academy, but the Mountain and Sea Immortal Sect.
However, due to the appearance of Duke Yuanzuo and Zither Immortal Mengyao, there was a huge change in the Immortal Sect Selection. In the end, it was Yang Ruoxu's persistence and Senior Sister Mo Qing's appearance that allowed him to enter the Qiankun Academy.
The whole process was full of uncertainty and coincidences.
If there was really such a person behind the scenes, it meant that this person had already deduced all the coincidences and predicted the final direction of the matter!
What kind of intelligence was this?
Moreover, after the Patriarch of the Academy talked to Su Zimo, Su Zimo asked Senior Sister Mo Qing about her appearance.
According to Senior Sister Mo Qing, it was because of the Eighth Elder of the Academy that she rushed to the Immortal Sect Selection.
Who was the Eighth Elder of the Academy?
What was his role in all this?
"Could it be the Patriarch of the Academy?"
Su Zimo looked at Immortal King Ling Long and asked softly.
Immortal King Ling Long remained silent.
This matter was very important.
After all, the Patriarch of the Academy was Su Zimo's Master and had saved Su Zimo's life. She could not make wild guesses without evidence.
"I'm not sure if it's the Patriarch of the Academy."
Immortal King Ling Long pondered and said, "But the Patriarch of the Academy is able to calculate the heavenly secrets, fate, people's hearts, and karma. He does have the ability to set up such a trap!"
This trap was no small matter. It was not only targeting Su Zimo, but also Duke Yuanzuo, the Great Jin Immortal Nation, Yang Ruoxu, Zither Immortal Mengyao, Painting Immortal Mo Qing …
There was even Immortal King Ling Long and Immortal King Yun You!
Since Su Zimo started cultivating, everyone he saw could be a chess piece in this trap.
Immortal King Ling Long said, "Although I'm also good at deduction, I'm not as good as the Patriarch of the Academy when it comes to calculating the heavenly secrets and fate.
"At the very least, with my ability, I definitely cannot deduce the time and place of your ascension."
Su Zimo nodded.
The ninth step of the Qiankun Academy's Dao Heart Ladder was called the Step of Wisdom. It was condensed by the Academy Patriarch.
He had felt the will of the Patriarch of the Academy when he had reached the ninth step.
The impact on one's Dao Heart was indeed extremely shocking.
In the end, he was able to pass the ninth step and condense the tenth step of the Dao heart ladder because of the resonance between the two true bodies and the descent of Wu Dao's will!
The Patriarch of the Academy was known to have a flawless plan, and it was not a lie!
Immortal King Ling Long suddenly asked, "I heard from Luo 'er that back in Lang Feng City, you had unintentionally used the Nine Palaces Subtle Steps. Where have you seen this kind of footwork before? "
"Back then, when Wu Dao's true body underwent the tribulation, there were several humanoid Heavenly Tribulations that descended. Among them, there was a black-robed woman who held a tortoise shell in one hand and a horsetail whisk in the other."
Su Zimo did not know why Immortal King Ling Long suddenly mentioned this, but he still nodded and did not hide it.
Immortal King Ling Long's eyes lit up after hearing Su Zimo's description.
Su Zimo continued, "The black-robed woman's strength was terrifying. She had once used this mysterious footwork. It was extremely profound and left a deep impression on me."
"Later on, in Lang Feng City, I had a sudden flash of inspiration and accidentally released it."
"As I thought."
Immortal King Ling Long murmured softly. She then asked with a smile, "Do you know who the black-robed woman is?"
"I don't."
Su Zimo shook his head.
Immortal King Ling Long said, "The era of the black-robed woman might be a few billion years ago, or even a few billion years ago. Regardless, she should be the oldest Martial Monarch in the records of the Upper Realm! "
Another Martial Monarch!
Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat.
Previously, Demoness Ji had told him that the white-robed woman holding a longsword whom Wu Dao's main body had seen during his tenth tribulation was a Martial Monarch in the past.
The Nine Netherworld Emperor!
If the black-robed woman was also a Martial Monarch, it meant that the Martial Monarchs that Wu Dao's main body had seen during his tribulation were all Martial Monarchs who had once left traces of their Dao in the Upper Realm!
Immortal King Ling Long added, "The black-robed woman you saw was the Nine Heavens Mystic Fairy Emperor. She had once left behind a Dao inheritance in the Upper Realm. It was a forbidden secret scripture called the Art Repository."
Forbidden secret scriptures were extremely rare. Only Martial Monarchs could leave behind a forbidden secret scripture.
For example, although Bo Xun and the World-Destroying Demon Monarch were powerful, their Demon Pursuit Scriptures and World-Destroying Demon Scriptures were only on par with forbidden secret scriptures at most. They had yet to reach the level of forbidden secret scriptures!
"The Art Repository is all-encompassing. Divination, geomancy, numerology, physiognomy, dream divination, fortune telling, astrology, astronomical phenomena, talismans … There's nothing it doesn't cover!
"There are three chapters in the Art Repository. The first is Taiyi. The other two are Qimen Dun Jia and Liuren Divine Lesson.
"Back then, the Headmaster of the Academy and I received this opportunity at the same time. We were chosen by the Dao of the Nine Heavens Xuan Nü Empress and received different inheritances. The Headmaster of the Academy received the 'Art of Divination', while I received the 'Liuren Divine Lesson'."
"In terms of deducing the fate of the heavens and attacking techniques, the 'Qimen Dunjia' is superior."
"The Nine Palace Subtle Steps is hidden in the Liuren Divine Lesson."
Hearing this, Su Zimo was enlightened.
No wonder Immortal King Ling Long would suddenly mention this. It turned out that she had such a relationship with the Academy Patriarch.
The reason why the Academy Patriarch was superior to her in divination was because he had received the Qimen Dun Jia from the Art Repository.
Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly asked, "Senior, you said there are three chapters in the Art Repository. Who received the Taiyi inheritance?"
According to Immortal King Ling Long, Taiyi was the first of the three chapters in the Art Repository. It should be even more mysterious.
Immortal King Ling Long said, "The Taiyi Dao has a special origin. It wasn't passed down. Neither the Academy Patriarch nor I received it."
After a slight pause, Immortal King Ling Long suddenly took out an ancient tortoise shell from her storage bag and handed it to Su Zimo. She said, "The tortoise shell you saw in the hands of the Nine Heavens Mystic Fairy Empress should look like this, right?"
Su Zimo took a closer look and nodded.
The size of the tortoise shell, and even the patterns on it, were exactly the same as the one he saw in the black-robed woman's hand!
It seemed like the weapon of the Nine Heavens Mystic Fairy Emperor had been passed down and was obtained by Immortal King Ling Long.
At this moment, a thought flashed across Su Zimo's mind.
He recalled the other weapon of the Nine Heavens Mystic Fairy Emperor, the jade-handled horsetail whisk.
The horsetail whisk was exactly the same as the Taiyi Horsetail Whisk he had.
The Taiyi Horsetail Whisk had the word 'Taiyi'.
The Art Repository also had the chapter 'Taiyi'.
Was there a connection between the two?
