Chapter 55 I Want Immortal Ascension (24)
Liu Sheng finally understood.
There was originally no Seven Profound Academy on the continent; this Seven Profound Academy was merely a weird object created by the Seven Profound Master, modeled after Qiankun Hall, floating above the sky.
"Is it the seven profound token? You cast the seven profound token on the continent, and those holding the seven profound token will be drawn into this so-called Seven Profound Academy."
Liu Sheng's face was ashen, mixed with a hint of unnoticeable anger.
"Not only that, but when you enter the Dormitory, I will individually wash away those extremely boring memories from your minds and replace them with memories I have meticulously arranged."
"The years here are long, and my greatest pleasure is writing storybooks for you; it is truly very interesting."
The Seven Profound Master was quite pleased with himself, his white eyebrows fluttering.
He had painstakingly made so many arrangements, yet it was always like wearing embroidered clothes at night, with no audience to appreciate them. Now that he finally had someone who could understand his intentions, he naturally wanted to say a few more words.
No wonder Liu Sheng had no memory of “Yao Sujin” when she first arrived here; it turned out her memory had long been washed away by this old weird object who was bored to the point of pain.
"The seven profound token, it has the effect of bypassing spatiotemporal boundaries, right?" Liu Sheng ignored his twisted and perverted hobby, directly asking what she most wanted to know.
The Seven Profound Master held Liu Sheng closer to his eyes, squinting at her as he asked, "Are you very concerned?"
"Yes, if it weren't for this seven profound token, Senior, you wouldn't be able to achieve this grand plan, would you?" Liu Sheng nodded frankly.
"Please, Senior, teach me, what exactly is the seven profound token? If one hears the Dao in the morning, one can die in the evening without regret. Please let me die with understanding."
Liu Sheng could see that the Seven Profound Master most enjoyed being a teacher; if she showed her respect for teachers and the Dao, and her thirst for knowledge, perhaps he would be happy to answer.
Fortunately, the Seven Profound Master indeed fell for it.
"The seven profound token is also a Spiritual Artifact I accidentally made. It can open a passage through an extremely dark force in the Universe, thereby breaking through any restrictions and transmitting all kinds of information, regardless of its form," the Seven Profound Master explained. "I used it for Qiankun Hall, and also for the Seven Profound Academy. As long as it is activated with a certain Magical Artifact, it can allow the holder to exist at any point on the river of time according to my will."
Although Liu Sheng couldn't fully understand it, she realized that the meditation method in her world probably just happened to align with the incantation to activate the seven profound token.
"Disciple guesses, are the Materials for this object extraterrestrial? Could it be made from tian yan stone?"
"You're wrong about that. I made it from the roots newly grown in the soil beneath the tian yan stone, which doesn't affect the tian yan stone itself," the Seven Profound Master corrected seriously. "Just a little bit of powder combined with other Materials is enough to make it."
Liu Sheng muttered to herself, the parents of the tian yan stone asked you to take care of their daughter, and this is how you take care of her? Refining Magical Artifacts from her newly grown body.
"This object has infinite marvelous uses; you probably won't be able to understand it for a while."
Liu Sheng still had many questions, but the Seven Profound Master no longer wanted to answer.
The Seven Profound Master's white eyebrows fluttered with self-satisfaction, then he composed himself and asked, "Now it's your turn to answer me a question: where did these Little Tentacles on your body come from?"
Although these Little Tentacles on Liu Sheng's body still seemed very young and weak to the Seven Profound Master, he could feel a powerful and terrifying aura within them.
The Seven Profound Academy was created by him, so he naturally knew that there were no weird objects like Little Tentacles within it.
More importantly, this was the first time he had seen a weird object and a human body combine so harmoniously. If he could do it, would he be able to Cultivate again?
Could this be his hope for Immortal Ascension?
"Once you answer my question, I will let you live," the Seven Profound Master smiled very kindly, a hint of cunning and greed flashing in his eyes.
Liu Sheng smiled: "You're not talking about washing away my memories and throwing me back into the Seven Profound Academy to Cultivate, are you? Recycling waste?"
"Isn't that good? In the end, you can still return to my body and live as long as Heaven and Earth with me. For you, wouldn't that count as Immortal Ascension?"
The Seven Profound Master was somewhat puzzled; this was the first time he had encountered such resistance.
"Perhaps your life has been too smooth, so you tend to take things for granted," Liu Sheng said in a calm tone.
"This time, why don't you look down for a change."
Although the Seven Profound Master was disdainful, he was slightly curious about what this little bug could stir up, and finally looked down as instructed.
As he watched, his eyes widened.
Beneath the shroud of black mist, the Disciples in the Seven Profound Academy were still moving and running.
He was used to these ants struggling for survival; at first, watching for a bit was quite interesting, but after a long time, it became a bit monotonous.
Only this day was slightly different.
As those Disciples ran, they slowly converged into a stream of people, heading majestically in one direction.
Chongdao Shrine.
Many people had already gathered there.
...
Inside the Seven Profound Academy.
Jiang Tao, Qi Youlin, and several other Disciples led the way, with countless Disciples pouring out from every corner of the Academy, maintaining a two-by-two formation, seemingly unacquainted, but from high above, they looked like converging rivers, their steps firm and orderly, heading directly towards Chongdao Shrine.
When everyone arrived before the shrine's main gate, Jiang Tao and Qi Youlin, these leading Disciples, shouted loudly: "Brothers and sisters, please queue up and enter with your seven profound token; do not trigger the rules."
So everyone obediently maintained their distance and orderly formed a long queue, stretching from the entrance to the foot of the mountain, all the way to outside the Hidden Scripture Library, with no end in sight.
"Senior, I am an Upper Dormitory Student, here to Cultivate."
"Senior, this is my seven profound token. I am here to pay respects to my teachers."
"Old one, thank you for your hard work. We are external Disciples, here to pay respects to our dormmates."
The old woman at the entrance verified the tokens, letting them through one by one, almost going numb from the weirdness.
It was the first time she had received so many people, but there seemed to be no rule against it.
Entering the shrine, they split into two paths.
Jiang Tao led a team towards Jingshi Hall, while Qi Youlin led people towards the Hall of Heroes.
The small shrine was not very large, so only a portion of the people followed.
The remaining people waited in the courtyard, but without complaint, only looking up with anticipation.
The two split teams that entered the small shrine did something surprisingly consistent.
They first respectfully bowed, then carefully took down the spirit tablets from the walls and placed them into a large cloth bag prepared beforehand.
As the spirit tablets were taken down one by one, the surrounding air grew colder, as if some kind of restraint was gradually loosening, and the foundation of Chongdao Shrine also trembled slightly.
When all the spirit tablets on both sides were removed, the tremors of Chongdao Shrine were already very obvious; something was about to awaken.
At the foot of Chongdao Shrine mountain, in every corner of the Seven Profound Academy, the roars of weird objects rang out, getting closer and closer.
But the crowd showed no fear or hesitation, their faces exceptionally firm, a Power Of Faith supporting them in their hearts, dispelling all chill and bringing them supreme power in the darkness.
Jiang Tao and Qi Youlin exchanged glances, nodding with resolute expressions.
It was time.
One more chapter later tonight!
