The Mysterious Immortal, the Everlasting Lamp

"...That's settled then, let's stick to the old rules, everyone disperse."

"True Man Chixin, no, he should be called Daoist Chixin now," he said slowly.

Lu Wenze breathed a sigh of relief.

Uncle Chixin, who was originally very short-tempered, has become much calmer today after becoming the Daoist Master of the Fire Dragon Academy.

This might be a good thing.

Lu Wenze was about to leave.

"Junior Brother Wenze, you stay."

Uncle Chixin stopped Lu Wenze from leaving.

A meaningful smile appeared on Master Chiyu's face.

The two of them stood at the front of the stage without moving, quietly watching the crowd disperse.

What exactly happened this morning?

Seeing that Lu Wenze was young, Master Chixin suppressed his inner turmoil.

He had many questions in his mind.

The Fire Dragon Academy has been anything but peaceful lately.

But this unrest was not a big deal for Master Chixin.

On the contrary, it's quite normal.

However, the departure of the Fire Dragon Immortal Spirit from the Fire Dragon Academy and the disappearance of their senior brother, True Man Crimson Fire, were the major events that the two of them considered to be of great importance.

What does it mean that they have now advanced to the Dao Dan realm?

Senior Brother Chi Huo is dead.

"When Senior Brother Wen Yuliang advanced to the Dao Core stage, he realized the cause of his Dao Demon Shadow. He was heartbroken and used the Forgetfulness Immortal Technique to seal his Dao Heart before leaving."

Lu Wenze braced himself and briefly explained the situation.

How to keep it a secret from two elders at the Dao Dan realm?

"Where is your master?"

Master Chixin quickly realized what Lu Wenze meant.

What caused Wen Yuliang's Dao Demon Shadow? Could it be that the deaths of the disciples in the Second Academy all stemmed from Wen Yuliang's Dao Demon Shadow?

That makes sense.

Sister Chiyu showed a hint of doubt.

She had been in seclusion cultivating immortal arts during this time and was unaware of what was happening at the Fire Dragon Academy.

"Master...Master has passed away."

Lu Wenze finished speaking hesitantly.

Lu Wenze knew very well that neither of his elders would believe him once he said it.

If Lu Wenze wasn't a time traveler, he wouldn't believe it either.

Even if True Immortal Chi Huo were to truly vanish in front of him like a rainbow.

"Ascension?" Master Chiyu looked shocked.

"Ascension? What utter nonsense are you spouting?"

The terrifying aura of Martial Uncle Chixin swept over.

The overwhelming pressure forced Lu Wenze to lie face down on the ground.

"Senior brother, don't be angry."

With a wave of her hand, Sister Chiyu protected Lu Wenze.

The immense pressure that had been suffocating Lu Wenze finally disappeared.

"Stand up and speak clearly."

Uncle Chixin stared intently at Lu Wenze, as if trying to see through Lu Wenze's very soul.

Lu Wenze dared not conceal anything and told everything his master, True Man Chi Huo, had said.

"My master said that I didn't die at the hands of my eldest brother's Dao Demon Shadow because he wanted me to stand on the other side and help him in the future."

Reincarnation?

Should we take Su Hui back to the Fire Dragon Academy?

A celestial being in the mortal world?

Only by severing my own demonic obstacles can I become the strongest.

These words, spoken by the young junior disciple before them, were clearly not something Lu Wenze could fabricate out of thin air, given the cultivation levels of Chi Xin and Chi Yu.

Even the top secretaries involved had heard the legends about it.

But that's the eldest brother...

No, if it's Senior Brother Chi Huo, then it makes sense.

The mere presence of a single Dao Demon Shadow nearly killed them, all of whom possessed three thousand Dao Pattern Locked Cores.

They had been in the late stage of the Dao Embryo realm for nearly thirty years, and had already honed their Dao Embryo realm to its ultimate level.

They shouldn't feel such a strong sense of powerlessness when facing their senior brother who is at the same level!

But the truth is that even if they all joined forces, they were no match for the senior brother.

"Does Master know?"

"That's what Master Chiyu murmured."

Master Chixin shuddered, his fists clenched, and veins bulged on his face.

He suppressed his inner turmoil.

Fortunately, he entered the Dao Dan realm, which extinguished many of his desires; otherwise, given his temper, he would have already gone berserk.

Upon hearing his junior sister's words, Chi Xin understood that his guess was correct.

Master Huolong Daoist knew about this.

He was even the protector of the eldest disciple.

Has she been in charge of the Fire Dragon Academy for so long just to protect her senior brother's growth?

Master, you're being too biased.

A sincere heart cried out in its heart.

"You must not tell anyone about what happened today, otherwise..."

Master Chixin regained his composure, but Lu Wenze clearly heard the murderous intent in his words.

"Uncle-Master, please rest assured, I will never reveal this to anyone."

Lu Wenze quickly replied.

Aunt Chiyu said, "Nephew Wenze, your master has passed away and your eldest brother has left. From now on, the Chihuo lineage will need you to carry on. If you have any questions about cultivation, you can go directly to Bai Yulan or ask me."

Unlike Master Chixin's threat, Aunt Chiyu made arrangements for Lu Wenze's follow-up matters.

"Thank you, aunt."

"Go."

"Yes, nephew, I'll take my leave."

Lu Wenze fled as if in a panic.

"Junior sister, do you believe what he said?" Master Chixin regained his composure.

"You were able to kill Senior Brother? Wen Yuliang was able to successfully kill his master? Senior Brother's ascension directly benefits us, and also gives all his disciples an explanation in this calamity of Dao Demon Shadow."

Chi Yu sighed.

"snort!!!"

Master Chixin's face was cold and sinister.

He may be the senior disciple, but he has left everyone else behind.

As for giving an explanation to all the disciples?

What explanation?

Wen Yuliang used a forbidden technique to seal his Dao heart.

He left behind a disciple who had only been practicing for half a year and was at the first level of the Dao Embryo Realm, to support the Crimson Fire lineage, and even expected the disciple to become his protector in the future.

He certainly knows how to get things done!

What angered Master Chixin even more was that after his experiment failed, he still gave them alms before leaving, allowing them to break through to the Dao Dan realm and overcome the demonic tribulation.

They now suspect that their tribulations and obstacles were all arranged by this senior brother.

Is it so that they can always be one step ahead of them?!

If the Demon Shadow had a different origin, given Chi Xin and Chi Yu's conditions and talents, they would have already entered the Dao Core Realm, or even touched the Dao Infant Realm.

"This child wasn't lying, so you can't blame him. However, I think he harbors resentment." A cold smile appeared on Master Chiyu's face. "Your senior brother was responsible for the deaths of several of his fellow disciples, not only taking him in but also failing to teach him, and even on his deathbed, he wanted this child to help him in the future? Does he really think his words are above the law?"

Master Chixin smiled.

"Junior sister is right. This cowherd is actually closer to his senior brothers. Chi Huo is a scoundrel. We must protect Chi Huo's lineage."

"Do you think that since our good senior brother has such abilities, if this child really helps him in the future, could it create a huge obstacle that his senior brother will be reborn to gnaw on?"

Akaya smiled sweetly.

"I'm really looking forward to it."

Master Chi Huo understood very well how astonishing it was for a mortal to be reincarnated as a celestial being.

Although he didn't understand why someone who had cultivated to the level of a mortal immortal would still need to ascend to the cycle of reincarnation.

As for whether reincarnation exists, they are all cultivators and naturally understand that this world holds great secrets.

They're just not at that level, so they can't get in touch with them.
