Chapter 2162: Chapter 2108–2109: The Taoist Academy Takes Action, Defeated and Forced to Retreat
“With the Shifting Technique, extract the remaining soul and spirit of Wind and Thunder Master, then send them to the Fire Cloud Cave.” The elder paused for a moment before continuing.
This elder was a fearsome ancestor of the Fire Emperor Lineage, Jiang Yan Fire. His divine abilities were peerless, rumored to rival those of a True Immortal.
The reason this ancestor hadn’t attained True Immortal status was not due to a lack of capability, but because he was accumulating resources, aiming for a leap to the heavens, with great ambition.
When he spoke, the other two nodded in agreement.
“Heaven and Earth Shifting, Fire Cloud Gate, manifest in the world.” Terrifying power emerged among the three, and a divine mountain filled with rosy light appeared in their eyes.
Fire Cloud Cave is the cultivation place of several Human Clan Emperors. Though called a cave, it is a divine mountain. In Ancient Era, it was the secluded cultivation site for a former Ruler after the selection of a new Ruler.
After all, this is an extraordinary world. Even in Ancient Era, Rulers of the human race had a long lifespan. After selecting the next Ruler, they wouldn’t immediately die but would go into seclusion, guarding for a period of time.
“The time is now!” Jiang Yan’s white hair fluttered, ancient, and magnificent.
Casting numerous Dharma Seals, two rays of light shot from Wind and Thunder Taoist’s body, entering through the Light Gate.
“Let us depart; it’s not yet time for us to emerge, or we will surely be detected by other powerful beings, causing trouble for our family.” Jiang Yan weaved his hands, reversing Yin and Yang to conceal their tracks, and his figure flashed into a Void Gate, the three figures disappearing instantaneously.
Elsewhere, Shen Gongbao’s divine soul drifted, heading towards the Fire Cloud Cave.
“No good, something’s happened to Brother Wind and Thunder.” In the Taoist Academy, an elderly cultivator suddenly changed expression, quickly stood up, and shouted aloud. He was a guardian of the Life Lamp within the Academy.
Wind and Thunder Master, though born of the Taoist Academy and never truly joined another immortal sect, was considered a Guest Elder within the Fire God Dynasty, naturally leaving a Life Lamp in the Academy.
The Life Lamp had no other special effects, merely informing the academy’s strongmen of his condition.
“Where has the divine soul gone?” Qingyang Zi’s figure appeared in the Soul Lamp Room.
As Vice Institute Master of the Academy, he effectively presides over the academy. Though his cultivation hadn’t reached Quasi-Taoist Monarch level, his status rivaled those of Quasi-Taoists, and even lower than the Sect Leaders of some large and top immortal sects.
Due to the academy’s unique situation, supplying many disciples to various sects, all cultivators who have trained there call him Dean. Such influential figures have recognition throughout the Divine Continent World and the Realms of Heavenly Seas.
Wind and Thunder Master might only be a Supreme Strong, but he’s far from ordinary. He is ninety percent likely to attain True Immortal status, perhaps even venturing further.
Moreover, in the current situation, even the Taoist Academy cannot remain completely immobile; it needs to make strategic deployments.
Wind and Thunder Master is allied with them, and in light of recent events, Qingyang Zi is very concerned.
“The divine soul was sent to the Fire Cloud Cave. The Red Emperor is a Great Grandmaster in pharmacology, and the Green Emperor excels in Wood Dao. Plus, during the previous conflicts between humans and demon race, many human strengths were subjected to similar targeting—they might have strategies to handle it.” An academy instructor immediately spoke beside him.
The Academy itself is an exceptional entity; if its intelligence network is effectively utilized, it’s comparable to the Bai Xiaosheng Organization and the Sky Mechanism Pavilion. Additionally, Fire Emperor and his main cohort quickly transmitted information after Wind and Thunder Master’s incident, obtaining detailed data promptly.
“The approach is appropriate, but he is an Academy disciple, after all. We cannot remain indifferent.” Qingyang Zi nodded, then addressed the instructor beside him, “Regardless of whether the Fire Cloud Cave needs treatment; since his soul has been drawn, efforts must be made to retrieve it. Check which strongman in the Shenxiao Sect can intervene.”
Though this affair involves the academy, it can only pull strings behind the scenes now, rather than act directly.
“Thunder Sword True Man should have the time; just invite him to make a trip to Fire God City, and this crisis can naturally be resolved.” The instructor immediately envisioned someone in his mind.
Thunder Sword True Man is a Shenxiao disciple from the academy, counted as Shenxiao’s Separate Transmission. His cultivation combines Thunder Method and the Sword Path passed down by Longevity Taoist Monarch, a powerful top Supreme Overlord.
Crucially, he has deep ties with Wind and Thunder Master; hence, asking him to intervene is unlikely to be declined.
“Thunder Sword?” Information regarding Thunder Sword True Man also flashed in Qingyang Zi’s mind, and he nodded.
“Then so be it, as it’s also a Taoist Fruit’s worth, let him intervene. But remind him to be extra cautious of the Eight Trigrams Divine Array.” Qingyang Zi said.
The instructor promptly sent out the message.
Seeing the other’s disappearing figure, Qingyang Zi sighed and felt somewhat sentimental: these long peaceful days and secluded cultivation have stirred your ambitions. If such troubles can be overcome, all factions wouldn’t treat them so seriously.
