ETERNAL MARTIAL EMPEROR, VOLUME 8 - Season 23 Episode 86

Su Zimo received the Teleportation Jade Badge and put it away, secretly delighted.

Something like this was a true lifesaver.

Back in Tianhuang Mainland, Master Xuan Bei gave him a Major Transference Talisman. It had a similar use as the Teleportation Jade Badge and allowed him to escape death from the pursuit of a Half-Martial Ancestor.

Old Xuan said, “Su Zimo, if you want to raise your cultivation in the Heaven Essence realm quickly, it’s not enough to just cultivate in seclusion.”

“At the Earth Essence realm, as long as one is talented enough and spends most of their time in seclusion cultivation, they can cultivate to become a Grade 8 or 9 Earth Immortal.”

“However, in the Heaven Essence realm, one needs sufficient experience. It’s best if they have powerful opportunities and encounters so that they can achieve twice the results with half the effort.”

“I’ve learned from the guidance.”

Su Zimo bowed slightly.

For cultivators, opportunities and encounters were way too important on the path of cultivation—that was a part of their fortune!

Apart from the fact that Yun Ting specialized in the Dao of the sword, the reason why his cultivation speed was so fast was also because he had obtained a few huge opportunities.

Those were opportunities and encounters that would cause even Heaven Immortals and Perfected Immortals to be envious!

“Of course, I heard that you’ve offended many people in Divine Firmament Mainland. You have to be careful when you head out to train.”

Old Xuan reminded again.

Su Zimo agreed hurriedly.

Although Old Xuan was clearly not his master, for some unknown reason, his attitude towards him seemed unusual.

Furthermore, the Sect Master did not seem surprised towards this and had a calm expression.

“I’ll take my leave first.”

Old Xuan waved his hand and took a casual step forward, disappearing into the void!

Psst!

Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat.

Only Immortal King experts should possess such methods!

To think that the old man guarding the Earth-grade Secret Pavilion was an Immortal King expert and seemed to have a special status in the academy.

“You’ve just entered the Heaven Essence realm. It’s better for you to cultivate in seclusion for a period of time to stabilize your cultivation realm and consolidate your foundation.”

The Sect Master said, “Many things happened today. I won’t disturb you anymore.”

With that, the Sect Master turned to leave.

Su Zimo opened his mouth slightly; he wanted to speak but hesitated.

“Is there anything?”

The Sect Master noticed Su Zimo’s abnormality and took the initiative to ask with a warm expression.

“Sect Master, previously, on the way back to the academy from the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom, we were hunted down by an expert. Who is he?”

Su Zimo asked the greatest question in his mind during this period of time.

From the voice of the Sect Master, he could tell that this was the person who saved them previously!

The Sect Master did not reply and fell silent.

A moment later, he shook his head gently. “I can’t tell you his identity for the time being, but you can rest assured that he won’t attack you again in the future.”

“Is he an Immortal King?”

Su Zimo asked again.

“Yes.”

The Sect Master nodded. “The difference between you guys is too great. It’s useless for you even if I reveal his identity now. When your cultivation realm is strong enough, I can tell you his identity.”

Su Zimo was silent and did not ask further.

“Pretend that nothing happened and don’t think too much about it. For you, the most important thing is to focus on cultivating and raise your cultivation as soon as possible.”

The Sect Master instructed before turning to leave.

Su Zimo took a deep breath of air. The Sect Master was not wrong.

Right now, the most important thing for him was to raise his cultivation realm!

Su Zimo was prepared to enter seclusion once more!

He had benefited immensely after returning from the 10,000 Year Meet.

Now that the Prajna Nirvana Sutra was complete, his Essence Spirit would definitely improve if he continued comprehending it.

The Hell Suppression Tripod was completely repaired and he had yet to cultivate the legacy secret skill of the fourth tripod wall.

There was also the Primordial Unity Horsetail Whip and the Yin Yang Talisman Sutra. For this seclusion, rather than to just raise his cultivation, he had many things to comprehend as well.

At that thought, Su Zimo no longer hesitated and turned to leave the sacrificial platform. He sped towards his cave abode and entered seclusion.

Although he was entering seclusion, the impact of this matter in Heaven and Earth Academy was still ongoing.

For a long time to come, he would become the center of discussion for disciples of the academy!

After that incident, the number of academy disciples who ascended the Dao Heart Stairs increased significantly daily.

However, for everyone, the Dao Heart Stairs was still the same. No one else managed to achieve anything shocking and most academy disciples could not surpass the third step still.

What everyone discussed the most was what Dao Heart will Su Zimo left behind on the tenth stone step.

However, no one could ascend it so naturally, nobody knew what was there.

…

A year later.

It was only now that the Dao Heart Stairs gradually returned to normal; at times, nobody might even come for days.

This night.

There was no one around the Dao Heart Stairs.

Suddenly!

Without any warning, a figure in a Confucian robe appeared in the skies above the Dao Heart Stairs.

After the figure appeared, he waved his sleeves gently and formed an invisible barrier around the Dao Heart Stairs, isolating it from the outside world.

The Confucian-robed man looked at the Dao Heart Stairs and his deep eyes shone with a strange glint.

A moment later, the Confucian-robed man stepped onto the first step of the Dao Heart Stairs!

In just a few breaths, the Confucian-robed man ascended to the second step!

After a few more breaths, the Confucian-robed man ascended to the third step!

…

The Dao Heart Trial on the Dao Heart Stairs did not seem to have much of an impact on the Confucian-robed man.

The Confucian-robed man walked up the stone steps and merely paused for a brief moment with each step—it did not cause much of a stir for him!

In the blink of an eye, the Confucian-robed man had already ascended to the eighth stone step!

Right then, another academy disciple passed by and glanced over with a calm expression.

The Confucian-robed man stood on the eighth stone step of the Dao Heart Stairs. However, in the eyes of the cultivator, there was still no one on it!

This was a method similar to a disguise, but it was extremely brilliant.

Even an Immortal King might not be able to see through it!

If this academy disciple could see the Confucian-robed man on the Dao Heart Stairs, he would definitely be shocked.

That was because the Confucian-robed man ascending the Dao Heart Stairs was the Sect Master of the Academy!

The academy disciple passed by this place and left quickly without stopping.

The Sect Master had a calm expression as he took another step and ascended to the ninth stone step!

The ninth stone step was the Wisdom Step that he had condensed.

Naturally, the Dao Heart will of this level did not affect him at all.

The Sect Master raised his head slightly and looked at the stone step above the ninth step. He smiled gently and murmured, “I’m curious what a Dao Heart that can surpass me is like…”

As he said that, the Sect Master lifted the hem of his Confucian robes and strode onto the tenth stone step!

The moment his foot landed on tenth stone step, an unimaginably massive will descended from the skies and surged over like a volcano that was about to explode!

The Sect Master had never felt such a powerful Dao Heart will!

It was fearless, courageous, bold and filled with wisdom!

It was relentless against all beings that stood in its way!

The skies could not cover it nor could the ground bury it!

That Dao Heart was brighter than the stars in the skies and shone resplendently with raging flames!

Even his Dao Heart could not defend against that will and began to burn!

The Sect Master’s expression changed starkly as he shuddered and fell from the Dao Heart Stairs.

He stabilized himself in midair and landed slowly on the ground.

He had failed…

The Sect Master had a conflicted expression.

Even he could not reach the tenth stone step of the Dao Heart Stairs!
