Chapter 101 Old News
Su Qingwu was very surprised.
"Senior, do you mean that the entire Wuji Academy is controlled by a treasure?"
Zhao Gu nodded and said, "That's true."
"What is the origin of this Wuji Golden Pearl?"
"Ten thousand years ago, the Great Master Jixuan of the Yuanji World sent a Jindan-level clone to the lower world. The Wuji Golden Pearl was brought here by the clone. Since then, the Wuji Academy has been established here."
Having said this, Zhao Gu's tone changed.
"My dear friend Su, have you ever thought about why Wuji Academy has been able to survive unscathed and continue to exist even though many of its teachings do not exist in the outside world, and why it has not been attacked by other forces?"
"Perhaps because there is a strong force suppressing them, so other forces dare not attack?"
"Let's put it this way, my friend, have you ever heard of the Lingshan Gu clan, which was once famous in Dongxuanzhou?"
Su Qingwu shook his head slowly, "I haven't heard of it. I guess this force has disappeared for a long time?"
"Yes, about six thousand years ago, the Lingshan Gu clan was the most powerful force in Dongxuanzhou. There were nearly a hundred golden elixirs in the clan, which overwhelmed all the sects in this continent.
At that time, there were countless forces affiliated with the Lingshan Gu family. Over time, the ambitions of this family grew and they set their sights on the Wuji Academy.
At that time, there was only a dean in the academy who was in the early Jindan stage. The Gu family attacked the academy on false charges.
In the end, they failed. Not only that, the entire Lingshan Gu clan disappeared overnight, leaving no trace behind. "
Hearing this, Su Qingwu remained silent for a long time.
The forces of nearly a hundred Jindan disappeared overnight. If the cultivators took action, their strength would definitely be above that of the Jindan.
But...the beings at or above the Yuanying level in the Yuehua Realm cannot descend in their true form. Could it be that the powerful beings in the upper realm have a way to take action across the realm?
Or maybe, the one who took action was not the cultivator at all, but the Wuji Golden Pearl?
At this time, Zhao Gu continued:
"Since then, no force in Dongxuanzhou has ever had any intention of attacking Wuji Academy. After the fall of Lingshan Gu family, the whole continent fell into a long period of chaos. Various forces continued to fight against each other, and there was no peace."
Su Qingwu came back to his senses and asked carefully:
"Senior, do you know how the Lingshan Gu family was destroyed?"
Zhao Gu smiled bitterly and shook his head. "There is no detailed record in the hospital. I have thought of many possibilities, but I can't confirm them."
"Since the Wuji Golden Pearl has a spirit, has it ever communicated with the predecessors?"
"Except for appointing me as the dean, we have never communicated with each other."
Su Qingwu was filled with surprise.
"Could it be that since the establishment of Wuji Academy, the post of dean has always been appointed by the Spirit of Wuji Golden Pearl?"
"That's right. Now that you have an understanding of Wuji Academy, are you willing to agree to what I have proposed? I only ask you to help me within your ability. If things are not possible, we will just let it go."
Having the chance to obtain heavenly skills and spells, Su Qingwu naturally wanted to give it a try.
The most important thing is that since arriving at Wuji Academy, my spiritual perception has not given any warning of crisis.
She nodded and said, "I agree to your request."
When Zhao Gu heard this, a smile appeared on his face.
He did not ask Su Qingwu to swear an oath of Taoism, saying that those who could become variables in the disaster would keep their promises and would not do anything to break their promises.
"From now on, you can come and go freely in Wuji Academy. I will send someone to arrange a good residence for you in the academy."
"Senior, you mentioned before that obtaining skills and techniques depends entirely on one's own luck. Is there any test involved?"
Zhao Gu said truthfully:
"It is true, but the test was not set by me, but by the spirit of the Wuji Golden Pearl. I cannot interfere. Based on the results of the previous practitioners who took part in the test, no matter what the process is, after the end, they will obtain at least one Taoist method. Moreover, there is no limit to the number of times you can take the test, but the time spent each time is different."
Su Qingwu said bluntly: "If the time is uncertain, then I have something else to complete at the moment, so I have to leave Wuji Academy for a few days."
The cold ghost fire was temporarily sealed by Xuan Qing and could not be delayed for too long.
If the fire gets out of control during the test, it will be disastrous.
When Zhao Gu heard this, he had no opinion.
"Young friend Su is free to come and go, and no one will interfere."
......
Half an incense stick later, Su Qingwu left Wuji Academy and continued walking towards the southeast.
Along the way, she encountered two groups of monks who came to rob her, but she easily killed them and got some spoils.
After half a day, we arrived at the sphere of influence of the Brahma Sect.
This sect is full of Buddhist practices, and they like purity. Unlike most forces, there are no markets around them.
There are many Bodhi trees planted near the Brahma Sect.
Su Qingwu came here and walked forward, gradually approaching Yangyan Mountain.
Unlike what one might imagine, there are many Buddhists guarding this place. It is no exaggeration to say that the security is very strict.
Su Wen was also a little surprised. When he found out about this, he immediately sent a message to her.
"I came here a thousand years ago. At that time, Yangyan Mountain was completely barren. There were no Buddhist monks to be seen. People were free to come and go without any restrictions."
"Perhaps...something happened in Yangyan Mountain during these thousand years, or maybe the Brahma Sect developed this place and made it an important place for the sect?"
"From what I can sense, this mountain still has a very yang attribute, so it is most likely the latter."
"If it is really a sect's important place, it may not be easy to enter."
"Why don't we just tell them what we are here for?"
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
After the telepathy ended, Su Qingwu slowly walked towards the foot of Yangyan Mountain.
Soon, two Buddhist practitioners at the Foundation Establishment Stage appeared and stopped her.
"Amitābha Buddha, please stay. Yangyan Mountain is a forbidden area for the Brahma Sect and is not allowed to enter. I wonder what the donor can do for you?"
"I came here to seal the Cold Ghost Fire. Yangyan Mountain is a place of extreme yang, and it is the best place to seal the most yin and evil things."
Hearing the name of the Cold Ghost Fire, the expressions of the two Buddhist practitioners changed drastically. They subconsciously stepped back a little, holding their Buddhist staffs in alert.
"This fire has disappeared for many years. Where did the donor get it from?"
"I got it from an unknown enemy. Since the cold ghost fire cannot be completely eliminated, it can only be sealed, so I came to Yangyan Mountain."
After saying this, Su Qingwu turned his thoughts to Xuanqing.
The next moment, a pitch-black flame suddenly appeared before his eyes.
The moment they saw the fire, the faces of the two Buddhist practitioners turned pale, and one of them quickly flew away to report to the abbot.
The remaining person stared at the flames without blinking, fully alert.
Not long after, more than ten beams of light flew over from afar and soon arrived close.
The leader wore a scarlet robe and held a rosary.
At this moment, Su Qingwu only felt that more than ten spiritual consciousnesses were falling on his body, with a hint of oppression.
It was obvious that these Buddhists were suspicious of her.
In their eyes, the cold ghost fire was suspended quietly in front of the black-clothed girl, as if it was being driven by her.
This fire is extremely dangerous. Once you are possessed by it, you will die unless you have something to replace your life.
Because of this, the Brahma sect Buddhists behaved very cautiously, and the situation suddenly became tense...
