2683 Showdown Just as Lin Zhan and Immortal Queen Ling Long were hesitating if they should go forward, Su Zimo, who was originally on the verge of collapse, gradually stabilized himself in midair and calmed down. Lin Zhan, Immortal Queen Ling Long and the other two hurriedly went forward. “Zimo, what’s going on?” Lin Zhan asked in a deep voice with a concerned expression. Su Zimo stood up straight. The sweat on his face had yet to subside and he had a dazed expression as he panted slightly, as though he had expended even more energy than when he had just undergone Tribulation Transcendence! A moment later, he returned to his senses and looked at Lin Zhan, Immortal Queen Ling Long and the others. He shook his head. “Don’t worry, seniors. I’m fine. It’s just that…” Pausing for a moment, Su Zimo frowned. “It’s just that an incomplete memory suddenly flashed through my mind. It should be from the Creation Green Lotus.” “Lineage memories?” Immortal Queen Ling Long’s eyes lit up. “This memory must be very important for a divine item like the Creation Green Lotus to pass it down.” Generally speaking, most lineage memories contained Dharmic Daos and secret skills. Many powerful living beings and races would awaken their lineage memories after growing to a certain stage and cultivating to a certain realm. However, the incomplete memory that appeared in Su Zimo’s mind earlier on should not be a Dharmic Dao. That incomplete memory was of no use to him and appeared inexplicably. Su Zimo shook his head and put away that incomplete memory for the time being. No matter what, he had finally stepped into the Perfected One realm today and the Green Lotus True Body had grown to the peak of Grade 12. His gains were immense! “Zimo, what are your plans for the future?” Lin Zhan asked. Su Zimo pondered for a moment with a solemn expression. “I have to return to Heaven and Earth Academy. There are some things that I have to clarify and understand.” On the one hand, Tao Yao was still in Heaven and Earth Academy. Su Zimo already had the intention to leave, but there was no way he could leave Tao Yao in Heaven and Earth Academy. If he left without saying goodbye, it would be equivalent to placing Tao Yao in danger! On the other hand. Up till now, the Sect Master of the Academy was still his master in name. It would be unreasonable for him to leave Heaven and Earth Academy just because he suspected the other party. After all, the Sect Master of the Academy had once saved his life! At his most dangerous moment, Heaven and Earth Academy was the one who protected him. However, if the mastermind behind this was really the Sect Master of the Academy, he would not feel any burden leaving Heaven and Earth Academy and would not have a knot in his heart! Now that this game of chess had come to this, it was time to lay his cards on the table. Lin Zhan frowned. “If my cultivation had recovered to its peak, I could accompany you to Heaven and Earth Academy. But now…” Given Lin Zhan’s current state, he would not even be able to protect himself if he really encountered a top Immortal King expert, let alone protect Su Zimo. Immortal Queen Ling Long shook her head as well. “You can’t return directly. If our guess is true, you probably won’t be able to leave the academy after you return!” “Seniors, don’t worry. I have my own plans.” Su Zimo replied ambiguously. There were some things that he did not dare to say. It was not because he was worried that the Human Monarch, Immortal Queen Ling Long and the other two would expose it, but because he was afraid of the Sect Master of the Academy’s scheme! The Sect Master of the Academy was known for his flawless calculations and omniscience. There were some things that would leave a mark in the world once he said them out loud and might be captured by the Sect Master of the Academy. Immortal Queen Ling Long’s heart skipped a beat as she vaguely guessed Su Zimo’s plan. She smiled and nodded slightly. She was relieved and asked, “Where do you intend to head to after you leave the academy, Zimo?” “I don’t know.” Su Zimo shook his head. “Perhaps I’ll leave the Heavenly World.” That move was truly out of helplessness. The Martial Dao Prime Body had lost contact with him and his whereabouts and fate were unknown. Although there was Feng Cantian presiding over Tianhuang Sect, he was not enough to protect Su Zimo. On Lin Zhan’s side, he had yet to recover from his injuries and was in a precarious situation with internal and external troubles. If he stayed with Lin Zhan and Immortal Queen Ling Long, it was very likely that he would bring a calamity to the Battle Kingdom and even implicate Lin Zhan and Immortal Queen Ling Long. There were no experts or sects in the entire Heavenly World who could protect him. If he really broke off ties with Heaven and Earth Academy, he could only leave the Heavenly World! Immortal Queen Ling Long sent a voice transmission with her spirit consciousness, “Alright, follow us back first. The Battle Kingdom has a teleportation formation to an ancient star outside the Heavenly World. You can teleport there directly.” “I’ll give you a copy of the World Map of the trichiliocosm. You can decide which world you want to head to.” As she spoke, Immortal Queen Ling Long took out a map and placed it between her brows. In more than ten breaths, she made a copy and handed it to Su Zimo. Immortal Queen Ling Long continued, “The distance between worlds is long. If you travel through the starry skies of the trichiliocosm, you’ll be met with countless threats and dangers.” “For example, don’t approach ancient forbidden zones and the Black Hole of the cosmos. Most importantly, you have to guard against bandits of the starry skies who roam the area.” Before returning to the Battle Kingdom, Immortal Queen Ling Long reminded Su Zimo of many things. The world outside the Heavenly World would only be even more dangerous—he must not be careless. The five of them arrived at the palace of the Battle Kingdom. Immortal Queen Ling Long sent Lin Lei and Lin Luo away before bringing Su Zimo to the teleportation formation of the Battle Kingdom with Lin Zhan. “Be careful on the way.” Lin Zhan and Immortal Queen Ling Long looked at Su Zimo who had stepped onto the teleportation formation and reminded him one last time. Su Zimo nodded and activated the teleportation formation. When the teleportation formation circulated, two different lights lit up, representing two completely different destinations! One of them was Heaven and Earth Academy. The other was an ancient star outside the Heavenly World, the Wither Star. The light of the teleportation formation lit up and two figures suddenly appeared on it. They entered different lights and disappeared. … Heaven and Earth Academy. Suddenly, beams of light lit up in the teleportation hall. Immediately after, a figure appeared. He had black hair and green robes and had the sect badge of the academy hanging on his waist. “Greetings, Senior Brother Su.” When the surrounding cultivators saw that, they hurried forward and bowed. Ever since the Divine Firmament Immortal Meet, Su Zimo’s reputation in Heaven and Earth Academy had reached its peak. Although he had yet to truly enter the legacy ground, his reputation had already faintly surpassed Sword Immortal Yue Hua! After all, Su Zimo was the number one on the Heaven Ranking and top Heaven Immortal of the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain. Furthermore, Sword Immortal Yue Hua suffered a huge loss against him at the Divine Firmament Immortal Meet and the Sect Master of the Academy personally sent a message to protect Su Zimo. Later on, it was said that Su Zimo even attacked at the Nine Firmament Meet and almost killed a prince! When news of those spread to Heaven and Earth Academy, Su Zimo’s status in the hearts of many academy disciples rose once more. Su Zimo nodded in return to the surrounding disciples of the academy before leaving gracefully towards his cave abode. “I wonder what cultivation realm Senior Brother Su has cultivated to. He has already become unfathomable.” “Could he have already advanced into the Perfected One realm?” Someone suddenly asked. “Impossible!” Another person said, “Su Zimo just broke through to become a Grade 9 Heaven Immortal at the Divine Firmament Immortal Meet. How long has it been since?” Earlier on, everyone went forward and bowed, but none of them bothered to check with their spirit consciousnesses. On the other side. Su Zimo advanced through the academy and arrived before his cave abode before long. There did not seem to be any changes around the cave abode and everything was as usual.
