Chapter 2283 Sect Master of the Academy

Chapter 2283  Sect Master of the Academy

This time round, it was not only the many academy disciples present—even the Nine Great Elders were shocked!

The sounds of the Dharmic conch and drum were no ordinary sounds. They were immortal sounds, Sanskrit and heavenly music!

Immortal King experts like the Nine Great Elders felt incomparably tiny against those immortal sounds, let alone inner sect disciples and legacy disciples.

Many disciples of the academy were completely stunned.

Shock, confusion and disbelief…

Everyone's eyes widened and there was only a single thought in their minds—how was that possible?

Nobody present had witnessed the scene of the Sect Master condensing the ninth stone step. But now, they had the chance to witness the formation of the tenth stone step personally!

Not only did Su Zimo pass the trial of the Dao Heart Stairs, he even created a tenth stone step!

The tenth step came above the ninth.

This was not a simple numerical advancement.

More than that, it meant that Su Zimo's Dao Heart seemed to have broken through some sort of limit and was even above the Sect Master of the Academy!

Was that possible?

Su Zimo was only a Grade 1 Heaven Immortal.

Although the strength of one's Dao Heart had nothing to do with their cultivation realm, could a Dao Heart condensed by a Grade 1 Heaven Immortal be so strong?

The condensation of each stone step on the Dao Heart Stairs was one harder than the other.

In order to condense a stone step at the back, one would first have to endure the previous Dao Heart Trial—that was a huge test for most cultivators.

When this generation's Sect Master of the Academy condensed the ninth stone step, everyone thought that it was the limit and endpoint.

Nine was an extreme number and it was impossible to break that limit.

Who could withstand the trial of the nine stone steps of the Dao Heart Stairs and advance beyond the Sect Master's Wisdom Step, creating a tenth stone step?

This scene had a huge psychological and visual impact on everyone present!

After passing the trial of the Dao Heart Stairs, Su Zimo was at best the number one in the history of Heaven and Earth Academy. He attracted the Nine Great Elders to gather and fight to take him in as a disciple.

But now, the tenth step on the Dao Heart Stairs was formed!

He could no longer be described as the number one in the history of the academy. Such an achievement was unprecedented and was enough to be recorded in the books of the Academy and leave a mark in history!

"Heavens, what Dao Heart did Senior Brother Su condense to be so strong?"

Liu Ping's tiny mouth was agape and he was in a daze, unable to recover from the scene before him.

Elder Zhong gulped. "Now that I think about it, it's no wonder why Perfected Immortal Jade Toad lost. What sort of existence did he provoke…"

"He condensed the tenth stone step on the Dao Heart Stairs. If news of this spreads, it will probably cause a huge stir in the entire Divine Firmament Immortal Domain!"

Princess Scarlet Rainbow murmured softly, "The impact of this matter will definitely be greater than the battle at the 10,000 Year Meet!"

Actually, Princess Scarlet Rainbow had still underestimated the significance of the tenth stone step of the Dao Heart Stairs.

The fact that Su Zimo passed the nine stone steps of the Dao Heart Stairs was enough to cause a huge stir in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain.

Now that he had condensed a tenth stone step above the Sect Master of the Academy, news of this would shock the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain and even the Heavenly World!

Right then, a figure suddenly appeared in midair.

Nobody could see how that figure appeared. By the time everyone looked over, that person was already standing there.

The person wore a green Confucian robe and was upright. Although he was merely standing in the air with his hands behind his back, he exuded a dignified aura!

In front of this person, even the Nine Great Elders seemed to be inferior!

"The Sect Master is here!"

Elder Zhong exclaimed.

Princess Scarlet Rainbow and Liu Ping looked over instinctively. Their gazes landed on the Sect Master's face and froze, unable to shift away.

The Sect Master looked to be only middle-aged with a hint of gray at the temples. His face was handsome and flawless, much younger than the Nine Great Elders.

His forehead was high and pronounced, seemingly filled with endless wisdom.

The most striking thing was his eyes that were deep and mysterious like the resplendent stars in the night sky.

They were also like gems in the depths of the sea that shone with a strange luster. With a single glance, one could not help but sink into them, as though they possessed endless demonic power.

Those eyes were filled with deep melancholy as well as energetic vigor.

There were vast starry skies, all objects in the world, the rumbling mortal world as well as living beings…

Through those eyes, everyone seemed to see different worlds and contrasting scenes.

The appearance of the Sect Master attracted everyone's attention!

"Sect Master!"

The Nine Great Elders cupped their fists slightly.

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

Many cultivators below bowed as well and called out in unison.

On the sacrificial platform, Old Xuan finally raised his head and looked at the Sect Master, nodding slightly.

"The commotion this time round was so great that even the Sect Master was alarmed!"

"Now that the Sect Master has appeared, could he be thinking of taking in a disciple as well…"

"It can't be, right? I heard that the Sect Master has extremely stringent requirements for taking in disciples. Right now, he only has six disciples and I heard that Fairy Mo Qing is one of them."

"The condensation of a tenth stone step is unprecedented and unlikely to be surpassed in the future. It's not impossible for the Sect Master to take a liking to him given his strong Dao Heart."

Many cultivators whispered among themselves.

"Sect Master, why are you…"

Elder Three probed.

"A tenth stone step is condensed above my Wisdom Step. Naturally, I have to take a look at the one with such capabilities."

The Sect Master looked at Su Zimo and praised, "You're so young and only a Grade 1 Heaven Immortal. How rare."

"Sect Master, don't tell me you want to take him in as a disciple as well?"

Elder Six asked bluntly.

"Why not?"

The Sect Master looked at Elder Six and asked with a smile.

Meeting the eyes of the Sect Master, Elder Six blushed slightly.

She turned her head and waved it off, saying softly, "Forget it. Since you want to take him in as a disciple, I'll withdraw."

"This is an unpolished jade."

The Sect Master said warmly, "I'll teach him personally."

The moment he said that, it meant that there was almost no doubt that the Sect Master would take Su Zimo in as his disciple!

If he could join the Sect Master, it would naturally be better than joining the Nine Great Elders.

That was because there was probably no one in the academy who was more capable than the Sect Master!

The requirement for the Sect Master to take in disciples was extremely stringent as well. Right now, there were only six disciples under him. Among them, Sword Immortal Yue Hua and Painting Immortal Mo Qing were famous in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain and even Nine Firmament Immortal Domain.

If Su Zimo could join the Sect Master, he would be the junior brother of Painting Immortal Mo Qing as well as Sword Immortal Yue Hua and his status would be comparable to theirs—what sort of privilege would that be?!

"Since the Sect Master is here, I have nothing to say."

Elder Two announced his withdrawal.

The other elders did not insist either.

The Nine Great Elders knew in their hearts that although they were all Immortal King experts, their methods and capabilities were far inferior to the Sect Master of the Academy.

"I don't agree."

Right then, a voice sounded in the mind of the Sect Master.

Apart from him, no one else noticed it!
