2285 Teleportation Jade Badge When the elders heard that, they were puzzled. According to the initial intention of the Sect Master, he wanted to take Su Zimo in as his personal disciple directly. Why did the latter become an in-name disciple at the last minute? Naturally, the elders did not know what happened during this period of time that caused the Sect Master to change his mind. The Grand Elder’s expression changed as he glanced at Old Xuan on the sacrificial platform in deep thought. “Su Zimo.” The Sect Master had a warm expression as he looked at Su Zimo and asked with a smile, “Are you willing to join me as an in-name disciple?” “I’m willing.” Su Zimo bowed and replied in a deep voice. Although he was only joining the Sect Master as an in-name disciple, there were no disadvantages for him—he had no reason to reject this. Many cultivators present revealed deep envy in their eyes. Even though he was only an in-name disciple, his status far surpassed ordinary inner sect disciples! This was the in-name disciple of the Sect Master of the Academy. If nothing went wrong, he would definitely join the Sect Master as a personal disciple in the future! At that moment, Tang Peng had already woken up and could not accept the scene before him. He had merely fallen from the Dao Heart Stairs and fainted. However, he would have never expected that the moment he woke up, the Heaven Immortal who had just entered the inner sect would soar with a meteoric rise and was even above him in terms of status now! The flow of fate seemed mysterious and cruel at this moment. “Senior Brother Fang, what happened?” Tang Peng was still in disbelief as he clenched his fists and grit his teeth. “How did that person jump over our heads?” “Don’t fluster, don’t panic!” Fang Qingyun had a calm expression as he sent a voice transmission, “Su Zimo is only an in-name disciple and not a true legacy disciple. We still have a chance!” Right then, the Sect Master retracted his smile and surveyed his surroundings. Every disciple had a feeling that he was being watched. “Everyone from Heaven and Earth Academy, listen up!” The Sect Master said slowly, “Today’s matter of the Dao Heart Stairs and Su Zimo’s identity as my in-name disciple is not to be spread without my permission!” “Anyone who reveals it intentionally will be charged with the same crime of harming their fellow sect mates and will be killed without mercy!” After the Sect Master appeared, he was polite throughout and even smiled from time to time, giving off an intimate feeling. But now, when the Sect Master said those words, he exuded the might and killing intent of a superior! Not to mention the disciples present, even the Nine Great Elders shuddered. Fang Qingyun’s expression froze and his expression turned terrible. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎 Initially, he was still contemplating how he should turn the tides and plot against Su Zimo. But now that the Sect Master said that, he was so scared that his heart skipped a beat and many of his previous thoughts vanished instantly! In fact, Fang Qingyun even had the illusion that the Sect Master had read his mind and that those words were a warning! “What’s the rationale of the Sect Master?” Liu Ping could not help but ask. “If word of what happened today is spread, it will definitely cause a huge stir in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain.” Elder Zhong explained, “At that time, countless gazes and attention will be focused on Su Zimo. That is equivalent to pushing Su Zimo to the center of attention!” “Who knows how much danger and hostility he’ll endure in that position.” “By not allowing anyone from the academy to spread the news, the Sect Master is actually protecting Su Zimo.” Liu Ping nodded, not fully understanding. Princess Scarlet Rainbow frowned and asked, “However, so many people from Heaven and Earth Academy witnessed the huge commotion today. Even if someone leaked it intentionally, how would he know who did it?” “Fufu, that’s the power of the Sect Master.” Elder Zhong smiled. “He has supreme wisdom and can see through the heavenly secrets. Who is confident that he can hide from the Sect Master’s senses and expose this matter at the risk of being killed?” “Furthermore, even if one or two people leak it, no one will believe it.” “A Grade 1 Heaven Immortal passed the trial of the nine stone steps of the Dao Heart Stairs and created a tenth stone step to be accepted as an in-name disciple by the Sect Master of the Academy. If we hadn’t seen it with our own eyes, who would have believed it?” Princess Scarlet Rainbow and Liu Ping nodded hurriedly with deep emotions. Even though they saw it with their own eyes, the two of them felt an extremely surreal feeling that lingered for a long time. “Everyone, disperse. Su Zimo, stay behind.” The Sect Master said indifferently. The Nine Great Elders retreated right away and disappeared into the void with astonishing methods. The other cultivators left swiftly as well. Before long, only the Sect Master, Old Xuan and Su Zimo were left on the sacrificial platform. “You can understand my intentions, right?” The Sect Master looked at Su Zimo and asked warmly. Su Zimo hesitated for a moment before nodding. “The tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.” The Sect Master said, “Your current cultivation realm is too low. It won’t be good for you if news of this spreads.” ... “Once your cultivation realm is high enough to withstand everything, I’ll naturally make this matter public.” Su Zimo said, “I understand.” The Sect Master nodded slightly and continued, “Since you’re an in-name disciple, you should train and cultivate in the inner sect first. Of course, if you have any cultivation doubts, you can look for me at any time.” “You can look for me as well!” Suddenly, Old Xuan interrupted from the side. Su Zimo was slightly stunned. Old Xuan was only an old man guarding the secret pavilions. His actions seemed a little out of line and impolite. However, when Su Zimo saw that the Sect Master had a calm expression without any hint of reproach, he could not help but ponder internally. Su Zimo truly had a doubt towards cultivation. It was the strange runes in the Yin Yang Talisman Sutra with 600-odd words. Those runes were extremely similar to the runes on the Wisdom Step of the Dao Heart Stairs. ... Su Zimo was almost certain that the Sect Master knew about the strange runes and could help him resolve his doubts. However, the Yin Yang Talisman Sutra originated from the Primordial Unity Horsetail Whip and the latter came from the Green Lotus True Body. Su Zimo was worried that there would be traces of information about the Creation Green Lotus in the contents of the Yin Yang Talisman Sutra and the existence of the Green Lotus True Body would be exposed! Although he had already joined the Sect Master, this was the upper world after all. Out of caution, Su Zimo did not take the risk. “Hey!” Old Xuan looked askance at the Sect Master and raised his brow. “In-name disciples are also disciples. No matter what, you have to give him some gifts!” The Sect Master pondered for a moment and smiled. Suddenly, a small jade badge appeared in his palm. There were a few exquisite patterns etched on the badge. When Old Xuan saw the badge, he nodded in a rare manner and urged Su Zimo, “This is not bad. Hurry and accept it. It can protect your life at critical moments.” “This is a Teleportation Jade Badge.” The Sect Master said, “As long as you’re in the Heavenly World, no matter where you are, as long as you encounter any danger you can’t withstand, crush this badge and you’ll be able to return to Heaven and Earth Academy at any time.” This Teleportation Jade Badge was equivalent to the Major Transference Talisman of Tianhuang Mainland. However, in the upper world, only Immortal King experts whose cultivation had to reach the Grotto-heaven realm had the ability to travel through the void freely! In that case, this Teleportation Jade Badge could indeed be considered as a lifesaving jade badge. It was not easy to refine a Teleportation Jade Badge as such. Typically, among the legacy disciples of Immortal King experts, only the most valued ones would be accorded with one.
