Chapter 612: The Master of Taiyi Academy

Taiyi Academy.

In the prosperous imperial city, it is located in a corner, cold and quiet.

College Street.

It was long and quiet. Although there were shops along the street, there was not much talking or shouting among the monks walking around or the shop owners.

In the past, Chu Ning might have had the leisure to stroll around the street before looking for Tang Ruowei, but now that something had happened, he only wanted to see Tang Ruowei and know what had happened as soon as possible.

If the soul master betrayed the ninth-level cultivator who came in with him, would Tang Ruowei's identity also be exposed?

The gate of Taiyi Academy was open, and an old man was sitting in the gatehouse on one side.

"I am invited by the disciples of the academy to come and visit you."

Chu Ning stood in front of the gate and spoke respectfully. He couldn't see through the old man's cultivation level. Even if he was not a powerful Void Realm expert, he was very close to it.

The old man did not open his eyes, still lying on the rattan chair, and said slowly: "Which disciple?"

"Tang Sining."

After Chu Ning gave his name, the old man did not respond. He opened his eyes and his gaze stayed on Chu Ning. After three breaths, he said, "Go in and go to the sixth courtyard on the left corridor."

"Thank you for your guidance, senior."

Chu Ning bowed and walked into the gate of Taiyi Academy. Several cultivators who were originally strolling on the street were all stunned when they saw this scene.

All cultivators in the Zhongzhou Imperial City know that the gate of Taiyi Academy is closed only once every hundred years, and during the opening period, all cultivators can enter.

You can enter, but that doesn’t mean you can actually walk in.

As long as you can walk into the gate of Taiyi Academy, you can join Taiyi Academy. Even if you cannot become a disciple, you can still become a member of Taiyi Academy.

In the entire Taiyi Academy, there are not many people who can be called disciples, they can be counted on one hand, but there are hundreds of cultivators in Taiyi Academy. These cultivators are outer disciples who have entered the door of Taiyi Academy and are allowed to practice in Taiyi Academy.

Although he was an outer disciple, he attracted countless cultivators in Zhongzhou. Many Jindan cultivators wanted to become an outer disciple but were unable to do so.

Therefore, these people were so shocked when they saw Chu Ning walk into the gate of the academy so easily. This meant that Chu Ning was at least an outer disciple. If he could pass a few more levels, he would have the opportunity to become the dean's personal disciple.

…

…

In the sixth courtyard on the left side of the academy, Chu Ning followed the rules and did not change his route out of curiosity. Just before he reached the sixth courtyard, Tang Ruowei was already standing at the gate.

She is dressed in red and stands tall and graceful.

"Come in first."

Tang Ruowei gestured to Chu Ning to enter the yard. After Chu Ning entered the yard, she closed the gate and threw herself into Chu Ning's arms.

"Tang...Tang Xiao...Tang Daoyou, what do you mean?"

"Don't worry. Every disciple in the academy has a formation arranged by the dean himself. Even a powerful cave master cannot see through it."

Tang Ruowei knew what Chu Ning was worried about and explained.

"Then you are not afraid of the dean?"

"Master doesn't have that much free time. Looking at the entire Cangtian Realm, there aren't many things that can interest Master. Don't worry."

“I see.”

Chu Ning's eyes turned, and he hugged Tang Ruowei, and the two of them rubbed each other wetly...

After a long while, Tang Ruowei pushed Chu Ning away, straightened her clothes, and her expression began to become serious: "Chu Ning, I am sending you a letter this time because I have something important to tell you."

"Is it related to the seniors from the Ninth Realm?"

"You know?"

Tang Ruowei was a little curious, so Chu Ning told her about his experiences along the way.

"You actually met Senior Ning and Zhou Xiaochan. The news I know was also told to me by Zhou Xiaochan."

Tang Ruowei also recounted what happened when Zhou Xiaochan came to Taiyi Academy.

It turned out that after returning from the Holy Academy, Tang Ruowei contacted Zhou Xiaochan. Zhou Xiaochan, like her, also contacted the Saint Master and others. Since the Saint Master and others were in the Void Realm, if they appeared in the Imperial City, they would definitely attract the attention of the strong men in the Imperial City. And Divine Transformation cultivators like Zhou Xiaochan were very common in the Imperial City.

Therefore, the correspondence between Tang Ruowei and the Saint Master was delivered by Zhou Xiaochan.

After returning to Taiyi Academy, Tang Ruowei wrote the news that Chu Ning had arrived in the Cangtian Realm on a jade slip made by the Saint Master himself, and gave it to Zhou Xiaochan to take away.

But what Tang Ruowei didn't expect was that before she could wait for the reply from the senior from the Holy Palace, Zhou Xiaochan brought back bad news.

The soul master of the Northern Soul Realm betrayed the Nine Realms and chose to join a powerful force in the Heaven Realm, selling out the Saint Master and others.

More than a dozen powerful Dongxu masters from the Cangtian Realm were dispatched at the same time, and the Saint Master and his colleagues had to break out in different ways. The reason why Zhou Xiaochan was able to escape was that his father, the emperor of the Purple Moon Dynasty, used means to send him out of the blockade.

After Zhou Xiaochan escaped from the predicament, he immediately went to the imperial city to inform Tang Ruowei of the news, and Tang Ruowei then wrote a letter to Chu Ning.

"Then why did the Soul Master betray the Nine Realms? You know, he also came from the Nine Realms. Can the forces in the Heaven Realm accept him?"

"He will provide the Cang Tian Realm with a space tunnel leading to the Nine Realms."

Tang Ruowei had a worried look on her face, as if she was afraid that Chu Ning didn't understand, so she explained in detail: "Although the passage between the Heaven Realm and the Small World is one-way, only the cultivators of the Small World can enter the Heaven Realm, and the cultivators of the Heaven Realm cannot reach the Small World, but this is not absolute. If a top expert takes action and pays a certain price, a passage to the Small World can be opened."

“It’s just that it’s difficult for cultivators from small worlds to grow to this level, so they naturally don’t know these things. Over time, they believe that the Heaven Realm cannot return to the small world.”

"As for why the top masters of the Heaven Realm did not do this, it is also very simple. There are very few small worlds that are worthy of the top masters and forces to do so. The gap between the cost and the benefits is too great."

"But our Nine Realms are different. The Heaven Realm will definitely open up this passage. By that time, it will be a disaster for the Nine Realms."

Chu Ning's expression also became heavy. He could ignore the life and death of people in other realms of the Nine Realms, but he could not ignore the Northern Territory.

However, facing a powerful Dongxu level warrior, or even a powerful Cangtian level warrior, his cultivation in the late stage of Huajin is simply not enough.

Trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm is overestimating one's own abilities.

Chu Ning was aware of this. Not to mention him, even if Tang Ruowei was added, it would be useless.

The powerful masters of Huashen and Dongxu are too powerful, and they are not even a Dongxu master. This time they are facing an extremely terrifying force.

"What do you know about God?"

Chu Ning thought of the Cangtian Realm that Yan Heng had mentioned at that time. He had not been in the Cangtian Realm for a long time, but Tang Ruowei had been in the Cangtian Realm for many years and had become a disciple of Taiyi Academy. Given the status of Taiyi Academy, she should know a lot of secrets of the Cangtian Realm.

"God?"

Tang Ruowei shook her head with a look of confusion on her face. It was obvious that she, like Chu Ning, had never heard of the so-called God.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"It seems that you haven't heard of it either. That's really strange. This is the Heaven Realm, and there is another Heaven Realm. It can't be that there is a bigger force above the Heaven Realm."

Chu Ning's joke made Tang Ruowei frown: "I remembered something, it might have something to do with God."

"Tell me about it."

"Forty years ago, a distinguished guest came to our Taiyi Academy and was personally welcomed by our senior brother."

As if she was afraid that Chu Ning didn't know much about Taiyi Academy, Tang Ruowei added, "Master doesn't really care about the academy. Even we, the direct disciples, rarely see Master. If there are any doubts about cultivation, it is usually the eldest senior brother who teaches them. I have seen Master once in all these years except for the time when I entered the academy. I have never seen him again until now."

"I understand. The dean is just a master in name only. The one who actually teaches you is your senior brother."

Chu Ning smiled slightly. In the jade slip that his master gave him, which introduced the major forces in the Cang Tian Realm, there was also a description of the eldest senior brother of Taiyi Academy. The eldest disciple of the dean of Taiyi Academy was different from the other disciples. Not only was he the first to become the dean's disciple, he was also in charge of all matters of Taiyi Academy.

The dean of Taiyi Academy is a mysterious dragon that is hard to find. If many forces invite Taiyi Academy to celebrate, it is usually this eldest disciple who will come forward.

The dean of Taiyi Academy accepted his second disciple three thousand years after accepting this eldest disciple, and the time before that for the following disciples was even longer.

"More than eighty years ago, a guest came to the academy. He was only in the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm, but the eldest senior brother personally came to greet him. However, even in front of the eldest senior brother, this person was very arrogant and said bluntly that he came to visit the master. After learning that the master was in seclusion, he actually left."

Tang Ruowei kept this matter in mind because the eldest senior brother represented the academy. Even the one from the royal family of Zhongzhou who sat on the throne in the main hall would not be so arrogant when seeing the eldest senior brother, not to mention that the other party was just a Divine Transformation cultivator.

She couldn't understand where this man got the confidence from, and the senior brother didn't get angry at all and even sent her to the gate of the academy.

"Out of curiosity, I asked my senior brother about this person's origins. He just replied: This person's identity is not ordinary, and he represents a certain will of the Heaven Realm."

"I was very surprised at the time and continued to ask, but the eldest brother just smiled and said nothing. Finally, the second brother said: His family is involved in the secrets of the Heaven-level powerhouses. All the Heaven-level powerhouses in the Heaven-level world have a cause and effect with his family."

After hearing Tang Ruowei's words, Chu Ning understood why Tang Ruowei only mentioned this one thing, because she was not sure whether the angel cultivator back then had any relationship with God.

However, Yan Heng's words made Chu Ning make a judgment in his heart, and he was afraid that Tang Ruowei's guess was correct.

The wanted order of the Heaven Realm! If ordinary cultivators catch the people on the wanted order, they can get huge benefits, but Yan Heng is obviously not very interested in this benefit. Since he is not interested, there is only one reason for him to take action, that is, he needs to give face, to put it bluntly, he is just pretending.

"At the end of the Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou emperor was in the imperial court. Although the princes still respected the emperor on paper, in reality they each held their own military power..."

Chu Ning's sudden words made Tang Ruowei stunned, but Chu Ning's words were very simple. After a few breaths, Tang Ruowei understood: "You mean that Shangcang is actually a family. This family was once very powerful in the Cangtian world. Although it has declined now, the major forces still have to give it some face."

"Well, this possibility is very high. Otherwise, if the Heaven is really so powerful, your master would not have shown up when that cultivator came to Taiyi Academy. It is obvious that in the eyes of that cultivator, your master should have shown up to receive him when he came to Taiyi Academy. But in the end, it was your senior brother who showed up. That person felt that he was treated coldly, so he left arrogantly."

Tang Ruowei's eyes lit up. She felt that Chu Ning's analysis was correct, but this also meant that Senior Saint Master and the others were in greater danger.

A family that can make the entire Cangtian world give face to it, even if it is no longer glorious, is not something they can deal with.

"Compared to Senior Saint Master, I am more worried about your safety, Ruo Wei."

Chu Ning's expression became serious: "At the beginning, the soul master knew that you, Ruo Wei, and Ruo Bing had also come to the Cangtian Realm. This time, even Zhou Xiaochan was hunted down. It is difficult not to guarantee that your identity has not been exposed."

Zhou Xiaochan was not even one of the first group to follow the Soul Master in, but her identity was exposed. And as the two women were captured by the Soul Master himself, how could they possibly keep the secret?

"Don't worry about my safety."

Tang Ruowei shook her head, and seeing the puzzled look on Chu Ning's face, she explained, "As long as I stay in Taiyi Academy, no one can do anything to me."

"What's the meaning?"

Chu Ning was still puzzled. Since all the major forces in the Cangtian Realm had to give face to the so-called Shangcang Family, he was afraid that Taiyi Academy would be the same. Otherwise, how could a Divine Transformation cultivator be received in person by the eldest disciple of Taiyi Academy?

"Taiyi Academy Rules: No matter what offense a disciple has committed, outsiders are not allowed to enter the academy. Otherwise, it will be regarded as a declaration of war against Taiyi Academy."

After the explanation, Tang Ruowei added, "Four thousand years ago, a senior brother killed several descendants of a certain blue sky-level expert because of something, leaving him completely extinct. But even so, when this senior brother returned to the academy, the blue sky-level expert asked the academy for an explanation, but the master ignored him and he didn't dare to force his way into the academy. But this senior brother failed to break into the cave void realm and died two thousand years ago."

"I'm afraid the power of the Shangcang family cannot be compared to that of a Cangtian-level strongman." Chu Ning was still a little worried.

"This academy rule was set by our Master with a swearing oath. Even Master himself cannot violate it."

“That’s amazing!”

Chu Ning's eyes lit up when he heard the "Dao Heart Oath". The dean of Taiyi Academy was really smart. He did this just to prevent his disciples from causing any disaster in the future which he would not be able to protect. He simply cut off his own retreat.

Now, no matter how much trouble the disciple has caused, as long as the disciple is still in the academy, he has to protect the disciple. No one's face is good. Yan Heng is just working without putting in any effort. Even if the Shangcang family knows Tang Ruowei's identity, they still dare to enter the academy to ask for people? Chu Ning couldn't help but applaud the dean of Taiyi Academy. His methods are very clever.
