Eternal Sacred King

2323 Door of Death!



"Of course, that's only my guess. It might not be accurate."

The Sect Master of the Academy smiled again and asked, "Why? You want to go to Avici too?"

Old Xuan rolled his eyes. "I'm not thinking about that damn place at my age."

Pausing for a moment, he continued, "However, I heard that Su Zimo is prepared to head to Avici."

"Oh."

The Sect Master replied, seemingly unsurprised and uninterested.

"According to what you said, Avici is so dangerous. Aren't you worried about him at all? He's the in-name disciple you just accepted." Old Xuan raised his brow slightly.

"He might not encounter any danger in Avici."

The Sect Master said indifferently.

Old Xuan pouted. "You divined that? Your divination is able to work for a place like Avici which can block the heavenly secrets?"

The Sect Master did not explain. "It's also possible that he won't get the chance to enter Avici."

"Why?"

Old Xuan asked with a frown.

The Sect Master said, "Do you know about the inner sect disciple, Yang Ruoxu, getting injured?"

Old Xuan pondered for a moment and narrowed his eyes slightly. "You mean to say that someone made use of the fact that Yang Ruoxu's Essence Spirit was injured to lure Su Zimo to Avici on purpose and set up a trap in advance?"

The Sect Master did not say anything as a silent acknowledgment.

"In that case, it's not a coincidence that Yang Ruoxu was injured. In other words, disciples of the academy are involved in this matter!"

A cold glint flashed through Old Xuan's eyes.

Although he did not bother about sect matters usually, he was sharp and reacted extremely quickly. With a single sentence from the Sect Master, he had already deduced the gist of things!

Old Xuan glanced at the Sect Master and sneered, "By the looks of it, you must have known who was behind this long ago. Why didn't you interfere?"

The Sect Master of the Academy shook his head gently.

Old Xuan harrumphed coldly. "After you took over the academy, you ignored the fights between the disciples of the academy and allowed them to do whatever they wanted. There are many factions in the academy and there are endless fights between them. What's in it for the academy?"

The Sect Master sighed gently. "The benefit of that is that they can adapt to the cruel world outside and grow faster."

"If the academy is peaceful, how can they deal with those schemes and plots when they're traveling outside?"

"That's the only way these disciples of the academy can survive and establish themselves in the upper world if the academy encounters a calamity."

Old Xuan remained silent.

The Sect Master said, "Su Zimo has the Teleportation Jade Badge that I gave him. If he encounters any danger, he can crush the jade badge and teleport back. There shouldn't be any danger."

"That's true."

Elder Xuan said, "However, that's Avici after all. Now that experts from all over the Heavenly World have been alarmed, that lad's cultivation realm is still too low. It's not sufficient."

"Since you're still worried, I'll divine for him."

The Sect Master smiled gently and waved his sleeves. The clouds before him surged and eight ancient doors appeared.

Every single door was etched with complicated and mysterious runes that shone faintly.

The Sect Master changed hand seals repeatedly and his fingertip entered the eight doors.

The eight doors spun rapidly in midair and a moment later, only one of them was left. It was still shimmering while the light of the other seven dimmed.

"The Door of Death!"

Old Xuan focused his gaze and his expression changed as he hollered, "This trip is extremely dangerous!"

"Erm…"

The Sect Master had a grim expression and frowned as well.

"We can't let him leave the academy."

Old Xuan said in a deep voice.

The Sect Master shook his head. "He values loyalty and is going to Avici to look for the Saraca Fruit in order to save Yang Ruoxu. If you stop him, it will definitely backfire."

Old Xuan pondered for a moment. "I'll follow and take a look. If anything happens, I'll be able to attack in time."

"Alright."

The Sect Master nodded. "Be careful. If you encounter any danger, take him back right away. Don't fight."

Old Xuan had already turned to leave with his hands behind his back.

Arriving at the sect's teleportation formation, Su Zimo matched the map and located the teleportation formation of Asura Monastery.

With a flash of light, his figure vanished.

Before long, when Su Zimo reappeared, he had already stepped foot onto the Pure Land of Bliss and was surrounded by a destroyed ruin.

Through some dilapidated walls, one could vaguely determine the origin and scale of the structures back then.

This was Asura Monastery of Great Tie Wei Mountain!

The moment Su Zimo arrived, he saw many cultivators in midair turning into streaks of light that sped in the direction of Tie Wei Mountain.

During this period of time, countless cultivators entered Avici one after another.

Releasing his spirit consciousness, Su Zimo scanned his surroundings carefully and did not find signs of anything suspicious.

He took a deep breath and headed in the direction of Tie Wei Mountain as well.

Before long, his heart skipped a beat and he looked to his side.

In the ruins over there, there was a tomb with a dilapidated straw hut beside it.

The strange thing was that there was an old monk with long brows sitting on a tombstone. He raised his head slightly and looked in the direction of Tie Wei Mountain in deep thought.

The Martial Dao Prime Body had once mentioned to the Green Lotus True Body that there was a strange old monk with long brows guarding the tomb in the depths of Asura Monastery.

The Green Lotus True Body sized up the long-browed old monk but could not make out anything.

He seemed just like an old man on the brink of death.

Right then, the tomb keeper seemed to have sensed something and glanced sideways at Su Zimo.

"Eh?"

Suddenly, the tomb keeper exclaimed softly and turned around slowly. He stared at Su Zimo's face for a long time before smiling. "Interesting."

Su Zimo's heart turned cold and he felt his scalp tingle.

What did the tomb keeper discover?

Was it the Green Lotus True Body?

Or was it some other secrets he held?

Why would the tomb keeper say that he was interesting?

Suddenly, a possibility crossed Su Zimo's mind!

The tomb keeper had seen the two true bodies before.

Could the tomb keeper have seen through the Mara Mask and saw the face of the Martial Dao True Body? Could he have said that it was interesting because he saw the Green Lotus True Body now?

If the tomb keeper could see through the Mara Mask, what was his cultivation and background?

The more Su Zimo thought about it, the more shocked he became.

Both times, this tomb keeper managed to give him a sense of trepidation!

Su Zimo cupped his fists and circled around the tomb, continuing forward.

It was only when he was far away from Asura Monastery that he turned back and heaved a sigh of relief when he realized that he could no longer see the tomb keeper.

On the other side, Old Xuan had also arrived at Asura Monastery. He stuffed his hands into his sleeves and followed Su Zimo from afar.

Before long, he passed by a tomb and suddenly stopped in his tracks.

On a tombstone not far away sat a long-browed old monk. He was hunched and looked withered.
