2686 Monster The Sect Master of the Academy said, “Actually, when the academy takes in disciples, the first thing we value is talent and the second is character. Every disciple of the academy has to know how to repay kindness.” Su Zimo was expressionless and remained silent. The Sect Master of the Academy smiled. “Since you’ve already entered the Perfected One realm, I can give you an opportunity. I hope you can grasp it well.” “Master, please enlighten me.” Su Zimo said politely. The Sect Master of the Academy said, “The Creation Green Lotus is unique in the world and a Grade 12 Creation Green Lotus is even rarer. My cultivation realm has been stuck at the perfected Grotto-heaven realm for many years and I need to refine an Immortal Pill before there’s a chance for me to break through.” “The most important herb for the Immortal Pill is the Creation Green Lotus.” ‘Here it comes!’ Su Zimo sneered internally. “So, Sect Master, you want my life?” Su Zimo’s tone was cold and he no longer addressed the Sect Master of the Academy as his master. The Sect Master of the Academy smiled and said gently, “You’ve misunderstood. Since it’s an opportunity prepared for you, how could it hurt your life?” “Oh?” Su Zimo did not let down his guard yet as he looked at the Sect Master of the Academy coldly, waiting for an explanation. The Sect Master of the Academy said, “Indeed, you have to sacrifice yourself for the time being to refine the Immortal Pill. However, don’t worry, I’ll make preparations for your reincarnation.” “As for me, if I can break through and become a quasi-Emperor after obtaining this immortal pill, the status of the academy in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain will rise as well!” Su Zimo sneered. After beating around the bush, the Sect Master of the Academy still wanted his life. His actions were no different from King Yun You’s! Even Perfected Immortals who cultivated to the Hollow Nether realm of the Perfected One realm did not have a high chance of reincarnation, let alone someone like him who had just entered the Perfected One realm! There were many Perfected Immortals in the entire Divine Firmament Immortal Domain. However, there were very few Perfected Immortals who were truly reborn and lived a second life. Even with the protection of Immortal King experts, the entire process could not be controlled. “After you reincarnate, I’ll guide you back to the academy personally and confer you the title of the number one legacy disciple of the academy.” “After you return, I’ll personally make the decision for you and Mo Qing to become Dao companions.” “After your rebirth, I’ll impart the Dharmic Dao to you personally. It’ll definitely make you stronger in your second life!” Su Zimo looked at the Sect Master of the Academy and a chill suddenly rose in his heart. Although everything the Sect Master of the Academy said seemed to be for his own good and some opportunity prepared for him, in reality, it was to take his life! The Sect Master of the Academy’s seemingly kind face was even more terrifying than King Yun You. King Yun You had never hidden his intentions. He straight up wanted to kill Su Zimo and get his hands on the Green Lotus True Body. From the beginning to the end, the Sect Master of the Academy had a gentle tone and a smile. However, not only did the Sect Master of the Academy want Su Zimo’s life, he even wanted Su Zimo to be grateful for it! The Sect Master of the Academy wanted Su Zimo to believe that everything he did was for his own good and an opportunity prepared for him! Not only did he want Su Zimo to die, he wanted Su Zimo to die willingly! In Su Zimo’s eyes, there seemed to be a monster hidden beneath the skin of the Sect Master of the Academy! The Dao child behind the Sect Master of the Academy, Gu Yue, suddenly shouted softly and reminded, “Senior Brother Su, hurry up and thank the Sect Master. The Sect Master’s kindness to you is as vast as the seas. You really make us envious.” “Hehe!” Su Zimo laughed and raised his brow slightly. “If the Sect Master wants you to die now and give you a chance to reincarnate, will you be willing?” “Of course I’d be willing!” Gu Yue puffed out his chest and said without hesitation, “It’s a pity that my body can’t refine medicine and I can’t help the Sect Master.” “I’m not willing!” Su Zimo said slowly. The other Dao child, Mu Shan, berated, “Senior Brother Su, don’t be ungrateful. Not everyone is qualified to obtain such an opportunity.” The Sect Master of the Academy did not seem surprised or angry by Su Zimo’s reaction. He merely waved his hand gently to stop the two Dao children. The Sect Master of the Academy said gently, “Zimo, I know that you’ll definitely be conflicted upon hearing this arrangement.” “Furthermore, you won’t die with your Dao lost. I’ll personally take action to protect you during your reincarnation, you can rest assured about that.” Su Zimo smiled. The current Sect Master of the Academy was even more terrifying than all the fiends he had encountered! Although he spoke of benevolence, righteousness, fairness and the greater good, all he wanted to do was to take advantage of others! Su Zimo said, “Didn’t you say earlier that you would be refining my Green Lotus True Body for yourself? How is it for the academy?” “Of course.” The Sect Master of the Academy had a calm expression. “As the Sect Master of the Academy, the higher my cultivation realm, the higher the status of the academy.” “Not necessarily.” Su Zimo shook his head gently. “In my opinion, your ambition is too great and will bring about a calamity to the academy. Sacrificing your current life will bring hope for the academy. In that case, are you willing to die?” “How dare you!” Gu Yue’s gaze was like lightning as he berated loudly. Mu Shan said coldly as well, “Su Zimo, how dare you speak to the Sect Master like that? Do you have a death wish?!” The Sect Master of the Academy shook his head gently and the smile on his face did not disappear still. However, a hint of disappointment flashed through his eyes. “Zimo, based on your disrespectful words earlier on, I can kill you according to the sect rules.” “Hahahaha!” Su Zimo burst into laughter. “According to the sect rules, Sect Master, you’ve harmed your fellow sect mate by wanting to take my life earlier on. You deserve to die as well!” The Sect Master of the Academy wanted to continue with the farce but Su Zimo could no longer be bothered. The Sect Master of the Academy gradually retracted his smile. “Su Zimo, you said earlier on that I saved your life and think highly of you. Your gratitude towards me should be as vast as the seas.” “Could it be that you want to be an ungrateful disciple who betrays his own master?” Su Zimo’s gaze was dark as he said slowly, “If I’m truly indebted to you, I’ll naturally repay you. However, what you mentioned earlier on was probably just a part of your arrangements to begin with, wasn’t it?!” “Sect Master, why bother hiding at this point?” “Back then, I participated in the Immortal Sect Selection in the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range. Initially, I had no intention of joining Heaven and Earth Academy. Later on, by a freak combination of circumstances, I joined the academy. If I’m not wrong, that should have been your doing!” “Back then, after the 10,000 Year Meet, someone intercepted us halfway and you saved us. You were the one who arranged for this assassin, right?” “You schemed behind my back and manipulated my fate because you wanted me to join Heaven and Earth Academy and cultivate the Green Lotus True Body to the peak of Grade 12 under your surveillance!”
