2696 Ambitions

Old Xuan had a grim expression as he asked, What exactly do you want? Dont you think that this is enough?

Of course not.

The Sect Master of the Academy said, Ill get Heaven and Earth Academy to replace Divine Firmament Palace and unify the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain. In the future, Ill even unify the Nine Firmament!

When Old Xuan heard that, he had a calm expression, as though he was not surprised.

Even if you unify the Nine Firmament, Im afraid you wont stop. Youll definitely find an opportunity to flatten the Pure Land of Bliss and Fiend Domain and let the Heavenly World be under your control.

Old Xuan looked at the Sect Master of the Academy and sighed gently.

How ambitious!

Su Zimo was secretly alarmed.

Although Heaven and Earth Academy was a heaven-grade faction, there were many heaven-grade factions in the entire Nine Firmament Immortal Domain. Heaven and Earth Academy was nothing.

It was as difficult as ascending to the heavens for Heaven and Earth Academy to replace Divine Firmament Palace, let alone unify the Heavenly World.

Whats wrong?

The Sect Master of the Academy said, Theres a high chance that that chaos will descend in this generation. Only by unifying the Heavenly World can we survive the chaos.

Thats just an excuse.

Old Xuan shook his head. You just want to take advantage of the chaos in the world to become the master of the Heavenly World.

That chaos?

Su Zimos heart skipped a beat.

Was the chaos that swept through the trichiliocosm mentioned by the Sect Master of the Academy the same one that Book Immortal Yun Zhu had once mentioned to him?

There was a high chance that this chaos involved a terrifying existence that spanned ten erasthe Fiend Lord!

Old Xuan continued, Your ambitions might not be able to be satisfied even if youre the master of the Heavenly World. If theres a chance, you might even want to become the master of ten or a hundred worlds!

The Sect Master of the Academy smiled indifferently and did not refute, as though he was in silent agreement.

Old Xuan sighed. Master knows your capabilities well and thats why he praised you as the one with Flawless Calculations. However, he also knows that youre too ambitious

Dont mention that old thing in front of me!

Suddenly, the Sect Master of the Academy interrupted Old Xuan and frowned slightly, shouting with a hint of impatience.

Su Zimo was surprised.

The Sect Master of the Academy had always been emotionally stable and filled with wisdom, as though he could see through everything in the world and was omnipotent.

At that moment, the Sect Master of the Academy actually lost his composure and was extremely disrespectful towards the master of him and Old Xuan.

Old Xuan said, You shouldnt be like that. Hes not only our master, but also your father.

Father?

The Sect Master of the Academy sneered, Is he worthy?

Su Zimo was even more puzzled.

The Sect Master of the Academy seemed to have a huge grudge against his master and father!

Old Xuan said, Your mother was in the Witch World at that time. In that situation, it was already Masters limit to save you. There was nothing Master could do about your mothers death.

Su Zimo was secretly speechless.

He had just guessed that the Sect Master of the Academy might be a member of the Witch race.

From the looks of it, he was only half right.

To be precise, the Sect Master of the Academy had a portion of the Witch races bloodline flowing through his body!

And why did he save me? So that he could monitor me at all times?

The Sect Master of the Academys tone was cold as he said slowly, That old thing has never treated me as his own. He has always treated me as someone from a foreign race and has always been wary of me!

What are you talking about?

Old Xuan had a conflicted expression as he said in a deep voice, Master has never married in his life and youre his only child. Why would he view you as someone from a foreign race?

If he saw you as someone from a foreign race, why would he impart the Dao and even handed the position of the Sect Master of the Academy to you?

Fufufufu

When he heard that, the Sect Master of the Academys expression darkened and he let out a deep laughter that sounded hair-raising.

The Sect Master of the Academy said, He pa.s.sed the position of Sect Master to me, but he was worried! Thats why he arranged for you to monitor me!

He has always believed that those who are not of our race must have ulterior motives! Even after his death, he wanted you to keep an eye on me!

Old Xuan said expressionlessly, Ever since Heaven and Earth Academy was established, there has always been the position of an Elder Ten in the dark.

The greatest use of Elder Ten is to hide himself. If the academy meets with destruction, Elder Ten can escape alone and pa.s.s down the legacy of the academy.

At that point, Su Zimo was enlightened.

If he was not wrong, Old Xuan was Elder Ten!

The role of Elder Ten was to ensure that the legacy of the academy would not end and would survive!

Apart from the position of Sect Master of the Academy, no one knew the ident.i.ty of Elder Ten.

Even if there was a rebellion in the academy or it was met with a catastrophe, Elder Ten could hide and plan a comeback.

Although the ident.i.ty of Elder Ten was a secret, his status in the academy was not inferior to the Sect Master of the Academy.

That was the reason why Old Xuan could speak to the Sect Master of the Academy in that tone when they were in front of the Dao Heart Stairs.

Fufu.

The Sect Master of the Academy smiled. Before you, Elder Ten was indeed only in charge of pa.s.sing down the academys legacy. However, apart from the academys legacy, the most important reason why that old thing made you Elder Ten was to monitor me and keep me in check!

Old Xuan fell silent, as though he was in agreement with what the Sect Master of the Academy said.

A moment later, Old Xuan said, Master did remind me, but its not because youre from another race. Master was just worried that your ambitions would be too great and bring a calamity to the academy.

With me around, Heaven and Earth Academy can reach a height that has never been reached before!

The Sect Master of the Academy said slowly, Im the only one who can lead Heaven and Earth Academy to become the only overlord of the Heavenly World!

Old Xuan sighed. However, Heaven and Earth Academy has changed completely over the years.

The disciples of the academy are fighting openly and covertly. Yet, you ignored them and even pushed them in secret, causing the academy to be filled with factions. What benefits will that bring to the academy?

You once explained that such fights would allow the disciples of the academy to grow faster. However, you and I know very well that this is not your goal at all!

The reason why youre letting the disciples fight is because youre nurturing them the same way you create Gu[1]. Even if such people grow, their personalities would be completely distorted.

The Sect Master of the Academy did not refute that.

The Sect Master of the Academy smiled gently. Thats only one of the reasons. My status in the academy will only be unshakable if these people at the bottom fight against each other! Thats power! Thats the human heart!

Right now, the Nine Great Elders of the academy have already submitted to me. Do you think you can restrain me?

The reason why I included you in this chess game is to get rid of you!

Initially, on account of us being fellow disciples, I had no intention of attacking personally. However, since you managed to escape on Great Tie Wei Mountain, Ill send you on your way personally today!

Old Xuan had a grim expression.

He knew in his heart that there would definitely be a fatal outcome between the two of them today.

This has nothing to do with him. Release his Master Betrayal Curse and let him off.

Old Xuan glanced at Su Zimo who was not far away and said in a deep voice.

[1] Just to explain the concept of Gu again, its a type of poison jar where the most poisonous creatures such as snakes, scorpions, spiders and centipedes et cetera are placed within and the final one that survived would be nurtured by all their poisons
