Chapter 767: Prince of the Dao Academy (1/2)
Hearts sank at Zhao Shenguang’s words.
The celestial master tomb!
Although the official reason given for all those excursions to the tomb was that the younger generation needed to gain some tempering and experience, many of the dao immortals who’d accompanied them had reaped quite a bountiful harvest. When Lu Yun resolved the layout within and combined the two different tombs in the yin yang realms, all living beings inside had seen with their own eyes what they truly were.
Corpses without skin!
Only when the two tombs were fused back together were they reunited with both parts of their selves and return to who they truly were. The traumatic experience still haunted many of them even now, so Zhao Shenguang raising it at this time sent chills down their backs.
Most of them had been utterly baffled by the events of the tomb and why their skin would mysteriously separate from their bodies. After numerous rounds of speculation and expert deduction, the general consensus was that they’d entered the celestial master tomb through the wrong method and blundered into the yin realm because of that. Of course, this conclusion was naturally a Lu Yun propagated falsehood.
Hackles raised and hair standing up on the backs of their necks, the crowd considered the sudden appearance of the Xuan Yuan Tomb door with new eyes. As for why Zhao Shenguang knew of this despite being trapped in the Ancient Tree of Life at the time—he’d personally investigated many things upon gaining freedom to properly fulfill his duties as celestial emperor of Nephrite Major.
“Don’t worry about it, this is a real tomb door that we can safely enter.” A blue-haired man stood out at this point and gave his judgment in a ringing voice after a series of close observations.
He looked to be in his early twenties and was dressed in snow-white robes. Handsome features adorning his face, he held himself with an unearthly air. Being a void-ascended immortal, his cultivation wasn’t particularly strong. However, an extremely unique presence faded in and out of existence around him—profound, detached, and with a thick sense of viciousness.
“Who are you?” Frowns abounded when people saw him.
Void-ascended immortals were becoming ever more commonplace as time went on, many of which summoned phenomenon of ascension that encompassed entire provinces or even majors when they broke through. That caliber of immortal had grown so ubiquitous that the senior councils of various councils couldn’t be bothered with them anymore.
“This junior is Zou Longxiu, second disciple of the headmaster of the Dao Academy,” Zou Longxiu responded with a smile.
“Zou Longxiu? That traitor of Yellow Springs Land? The one who betrayed your home in front of the entire world and begged Lu Yun to take you in?” A man walked forward with a contemptuous tone and sized up Zou Longxiu.
Smack!
A figure flashed through the air and smashed a hand right across the speaker’s face.
“How dare you speak about my young lord like this, you court death!” It was a young girl in black clothes who looked roughly sixteen years old. However, her presence was as fathomless as the deep blue and she flared the aura of an arcane dao immortal without compromise.
She wasn’t just an ordinary arcane dao immortal; she pulsed with the power of the world. That meant she was equipped with a formation of heaven and earth, placing her at the level of a primordial arcane dao immortal!
Bing Ling.
