After Tan Fei left, Duan Lingtian continued to learn about Myriad Art Academy. While he was distracted, his attention was still on the Dark Web.
Then, he opened the Dark Web again and began to browse the various missions posted on it …
The missions were either limited to existences below the Emperor God level or had no cultivation requirement. As for the missions that were limited to existences above the Emperor God level, he didn't see a single one.
"I reckon that I can't see this kind of mission because my cultivation is not high enough.
"The one who set up this' Dark Web 'is either the weapon soul of the auxiliary divine weapon or someone is controlling the Dark Web by relying on the formation that covers Myriad Art Academy … There are only these two possibilities.
"When I opened the Dark Web for the first time, it seemed to have confirmed my cultivation level based on the divine power that appeared when I made the hand seals.
"However, as the saying goes, 'there's no smoke without fire'. Since the Dark Web was set up by the weapon soul of the auxiliary divine weapon, it should be close to the truth.
"Moreover, if it was arranged for someone to manage the Dark Web, it would be impossible for the information to be hidden so tightly after so many years.
"If it was the weapon soul, it could be explained. After all, as long as the weapon soul's master doesn't order it, it definitely wouldn't speak nonsense in front of others. "
Speaking of weapon souls, Duan Lingtian was no stranger. His high-grade divine sword, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword, had a weapon soul. In the past, it was the weapon soul of another divine sword.
In the beginning, the other party's attitude was somewhat cold.
However, after she became the weapon soul of his divine sword, she was completely loyal to him and obeyed his every word. Even if he wanted her to self-destruct, she probably wouldn't even frown.
The weapon soul of a divine weapon existed because of the divine weapon and lived for its master.
"The master of that divine weapon should be the current sect master of Myriad Art Academy without a doubt.
"Moreover, after each generation's sect master stepped down, this divine weapon should be passed down to the next sect master and passed down from generation to generation.
"That's why the Dark Web has been able to last until now."
…
Duan Lingtian looked at the missions posted on the Dark Web and found that there was even a mission to kill someone … However, no one had accepted it for the time being.
"Is the person to kill someone inside Myriad Art Academy or someone outside?
"If it's someone from the Myriad Arts Academy, would the Academy Master of the Myriad Arts Academy tolerate it?"
The Myriad Arts Academy also had its own rules. Killing each other was strictly prohibited within the academy. If one wanted to kill someone, they had to sign a life and death contract before killing. No one would care.
However, if the other party didn't sign a life and death contract with you and you killed them, then you would be violating the rules of the Myriad Arts Academy, and you would be directly executed!
Thinking of this, Duan Lingtian could not help but send a message to his Third Senior Brother, Yang Yuchen.
Yang Yuchen, as the Vice Palace Master of Myriad Arts Academy, should have a better understanding of this.
"There's no doubt that the Dark Net is indeed controlled by the Artifact's Artifact Soul … The Inner Palace has some ancient books that have been passed down to generations of leaders. Now that I have them, they prove this point."
"And the Dark Net Divine Artifact should be in the hands of the Palace Master."
Yang Yuchen said.
"Should?"
Duan Lingtian was puzzled. Even his third senior brother didn't know?
"I can only say that it's only right."
Yang Yuchen sighed and said, "There's a one-third chance of this happening … Of course, this is also the most likely possibility."
"One-third?"
Duan Lingtian was even more puzzled. Was the possibility so small?
Without waiting for him to continue asking, Yang Yuchen continued, "There are two other possibilities … One of them is that the Dark Net Divine Artifact is in the hands of a reclusive powerhouse in the Myriad Arts Academy, a reclusive powerhouse that very few people know about. It's even possible that only the Palace Master knows about it."
"This kind of powerhouse would not appear unless the Myriad Arts Academy is in danger of being wiped out."
"Of course, it's hard to say whether such a powerhouse exists … But what's certain is that in the many years of the Myriad Arts Academy's history, there has been more than one such powerhouse. It's just that they rarely appear."
"Even if there is, I'm afraid that only the Palace Master knows about it."
At this point, Yang Yuchen paused for a moment before continuing, "The second possibility is that the artifact soul of the Dark Net artifact is an independent existence. It does not recognize the Palace Master as its master, but the Palace Master knows of its existence and acquiesces to its actions."
"No matter which possibility it is, it means that the Palace Master has tacitly approved of the Dark Net's existence."
Speaking of this, Yang Yuchen paused for a moment before continuing, "As for the issue of the Dark Net's assassination mission you mentioned … Actually, this is quite sensitive."
"In the past, when the Dark Net first appeared in the Myriad Arts Academy, not many people dared to issue assassination missions on it … Until a courageous person issued a assassination mission and actually killed the target. After that, the entire Myriad Arts Academy was shaken!"
Hearing Yang Yuchen's words, Duan Lingtian's pupils shrank slightly. "Third Senior Brother, was the person who was killed also a student of the Myriad Arts Academy? Or was it someone from the outside? "
If it was someone from the outside, Duan Lingtian would not be surprised and would not find it surprising.
However, if it was someone from the outside, how would the Dark Net determine whether the target was correct?
After all, the Dark Net only covered the Myriad Arts Academy. How would it know someone from the outside?
"It can't be someone from the outside," Yang Yuchen said.
Yang Yuchen said, "The Dark Net only covers the Myriad Arts Academy. You can issue an assassination mission, but you can only kill people from the academy … The Dark Net doesn't know anyone from the outside, so they won't accept such a mission.
"On the Dark Net, you can issue a mission to kill a student or a teacher … If you want, you can even issue a mission to kill the Palace Master.
"For example, someone once issued a mission to kill the current Palace Master of the Myriad Arts Academy … It's just that no one accepted the mission."
Hearing Yang Yuchen's words, Duan Lingtian was stunned. "Someone dares to issue a mission to kill the Palace Master? Is he crazy? Isn't he worried that the artifact soul of the Dark Net's artifact will tell the Palace Master who issued the mission? "
Yang Yuchen smiled. "The person who issued the mission is either crazy or probing … Of course, there's a third possibility.
"Probing … It must be someone who asked someone to issue such a mission and then hid in the dark to see if something happened to the person who issued it … As for the third possibility, it's the Palace Master himself who issued the mission for fun."
When he heard the first two possibilities, Duan Lingtian thought it was normal. However, when he heard Yang Yuchen mention the third possibility, Duan Lingtian was speechless.
Was the Palace Master that bored?
"Do you think the Palace Master wouldn't be that bored?"
Although Yang Yuchen wasn't in front of Duan Lingtian, he seemed to be able to see through Duan Lingtian's heart through the transmission … Of course, he didn't really see through Duan Lingtian's heart. He was just guessing.
"The current Palace Master of the Myriad Arts Academy is different from the previous Palace Masters …"
Yang Yuchen smiled. "Let's not talk about anything else. Just the fact that he wants me to be his successor shows that he's different from the previous Sect Master.
"No matter how outstanding the previous Palace Master was, he wouldn't have thought of handing over the entire academy to someone from the inner palace.
"However, he doesn't seem to have the slightest concern. As the leader of the legacy branch, he doesn't care about the feelings of the others in the legacy branch.
"If I hadn't met him, I wouldn't have believed that someone could do this …"
Yang Yuchen's tone was filled with emotion as he spoke. Clearly, even he felt that some of the actions of the current Palace Master of the Myriad Arts Academy were inconceivable.
"In the history of the Myriad Arts Academy, there have been many cases of students and teachers being killed … Apart from the three people who were killed inside the academy, the rest died outside.
"However, only two of the three people who were killed inside the academy were found … Before the murderers were executed, they admitted that they had accepted the mission from the Dark Net.
"As for the mastermind behind the scenes, he hasn't been found and should be safe and sound.
"Because of this, many people have begun to question … Is the Dark Net really in the hands of the Palace Master? If it's really in the hands of the Palace Master, why doesn't he care about the missions that cross the bottom line of the Myriad Arts Academy's rules?
"Of course, there are also people who think that in order to gain more authority over the Dark Net … Even if it's in the hands of the Palace Master, the Palace Master wouldn't destroy it like this.
"As such things continue to happen, the Dark Net's authority in the academy grows … Everyone knows that the Dark Net can cross the bottom line of the Myriad Arts Academy's rules.
"Of course, accepting missions that cross the bottom line of the academy's rules carries a certain degree of danger. Unless it's done flawlessly, only the Dark Net knows about it.
"Because of this, some people who complete missions outside, kill people, and bring back the corpses and other things that can prove the identity of the deceased back to the academy … These people tend to live well.
"The Dark Net won't betray anyone."
…
Yang Yuchen's words gave Duan Lingtian a deeper understanding of the Dark Net. At the same time, he had some doubts. Was this really the work of the Palace Master of the Myriad Arts Academy?
If so, what was the point of doing this?
To put more pressure on the students and teachers of the Myriad Arts Academy?
To train them?
Or was it for other reasons?
Duan Lingtian felt that the more he understood, the more he couldn't understand the Dark Net …
"I wonder … when will the person who accepted the mission to test me and suppress me in public come to challenge me?"
After ending his communication with Yang Yuchen, Duan Lingtian thought about the mission that targeted him being accepted by someone else. For a moment, his attention couldn't help but be attracted.
Five days later, he finally got the answer he was waiting for.
"Duan Lingtian, come out!"
A thunderous voice sounded outside the second dormitory. Not only did it alarm the group of students in the second dormitory, but even the students near the sword were alarmed.
"It's Wang Yuntian!"
In next to no time, someone recognized the young man's figure that stood in the air outside the dormitory, and he revealed a surprised expression. "It's him that accepted the assignment that targeted Duan Ling Tian?"
