1102: Chapter 325: Southern Sea Ice Cliff 1102: Chapter 325: Southern Sea Ice Cliff Su He levitated and with one step, a space channel that led directly to Jixia Academy opened.
Now was not the best time to go to Jixia Academy, he had not failed to hear the sounds of the cosmos; a great battle might erupt in Mystery Huang at any moment, but Ji Feixue lay unconscious, and Su He could not wait.
He did not know how long the Qinghe Bead could protect her, and the sooner he found the Ma Shi Empress’s people, the better.
Tai Zu had said to look for the “current Ma Shi Emperor.” Perhaps the Ma Shi Emperor was like the giant of the Mo Family, where the leader was the giant; was it the same for the Ma Shi Emperor?
Regardless, finding the Ma Shi Empress’s people would provide a connection.
Su He stepped into the space channel with a wry shake of his head, amused to think that at the end of it all, even after he and Ji Feixue had transformed into human forms, the doctor they’d need to see would still be a beast doctor…
Su He emerged from the space channel to find a sword light aimed straight at his glabella.
A cosmic battle loomed, and every academy at Jixia Academy was preparing for war; it would be odd not to receive a sword strike when a space channel opened right in front of the gates.
Su He flicked his finger, and a curtain of water from External Phase Turtle Mountain condensed at his fingertip, sending out a crisp sound that shattered the incoming sword light.
As he looked up, he saw a Master, left hand holding a book and right hand wielding a sword, thrusting another sword at him.
Su He took a step back and declared loudly, “I am Su He, not an enemy, only seeking help!”
Su He’s voice echoed towards Jixia Academy; he could no longer hide his name.
How could the Free Bodhisattva, having seen the marriage certificate, allow him to remain hidden?
Since the enemies were aware, there was no use keeping it from friends any longer.
The Master was already thrusting his Confucian sword and could not retract it.
Su He sighed and reached out to point at the Immortal Sword, only to see an abacus bead shot out from Jixia Academy, transforming into a trail of starlight.
Like a meteor chasing the moon, it collided with the Immortal Sword, knocking it off course and splitting a distant mountain peak in two.
A Cultivator dressed as an accountant emerged.
“Disciple Pei, do not act recklessly.
This fellow Daoist here is the same one I told you about, who led away the Free Bodhisattva’s avatar from Luan Yu Great World.
In his arms is Fairy Ji Feixue!”
This person had been so immersed in reading texts on sages and saints that he did not recognize even Fairy Ji, the unparalleled genius of Mystery Huang.
A gleam of astonishment flashed in the Master’s eyes as he hurriedly sheathed his sword and apologized, “I am sorry!
Pei has been rash, I hope the Daoist friend can forgive this offense!”
Su He, holding Ji Feixue, nodded his acknowledgment and was about to speak, when another voice came from within Jixia Academy.
“You’ve been too brash!” Suddenly, a sword light soared into the air, and a youth, looking at Su He with a hint of admiration, introduced to the two beside him, “This person just half a day ago, in Mystery Yellow Cave Sky, slew the avatar of the Free Bodhisattva.
If your sword, Disciple Pei, had struck, it’s likely you would have been the one to die.”
Upon these words, a collective gasp of shock sounded on the spot.
“Is what Wan Brother said really true?” Disciple Pei looked at his new senior with astonishment.
Wan Brother gave a bow to Su He and then turned to look at his junior, “I saw it with my own eyes, how can it be false?”
As he spoke, he turned again to Su He and said, “I personally witnessed everything that happened on the Fairy Ascension Platform.
Are you unable to contact the Old Monk?
Do you need the Chief Libationer to get in touch on your behalf?”
The avatar of the Free Bodhisattva had died on the Fairy Ascension Platform earlier, but it was unknown what methods were used that injured Ji Feixue.
According to the Monk’s words, only the Old Monk could save her.
And Su He, being the Buddha’s Son of Gujing Pavilion, must have had ways to contact the Old Monk.
However, right now in the Star Sea, the Dragon Turtle Tribe’s Tai Zu was suppressing the Free Bodhisattva, and it was likely that the old ancestors of the Yuan Sovereign Clan and the Sealed Emperor Family were causing trouble, too.
The Old Monk was probably in battle.
He, too, was a person inclined towards war.
It was normal that the Buddha’s Son couldn’t make contact.
Currently, the Sect Leader of Gujing Pavilion and the Sect Leader of Guiwang Mountain were busy suppressing the Seal Emperor in the cosmos and couldn’t attend to this matter, so asking the Chief Libationer to make contact would be much easier.
A being capable of slaying the avatar of the Free Bodhisattva deserved Jixia Academy’s help.
As he spoke, he saw Su He shake his head, “The Old Monk cannot handle this, Either.
Only the current Ma Shi Emperor can save my wife.
I have heard that the Ma Shi Empress’s people had come to Jixia Academy, may I ask if this gentleman is still here?”
Another person from Jixia Academy came forward, solemn in demeanor, “The Ma Shi Emperor did indeed stay at Jixia Academy for some time, but he left when the war in Buddha World broke out last year.
They are a lineage as unfettered as clouds and wild cranes, and even Jixia Academy does not know where he has gone.”
At this point, seeing the undisguised disappointment in Su He’s eyes, the person added with a bow, “However, the Ma Shi Emperor once said that he had a Divine God Beast under treatment and needed to personally visit the Southern Sea Ice Cliff for ‘Qilin Toe,’ and also go deep into the Extreme West Big Desert to gather ‘Thunderstorm Rain.’ Neither of these tasks can be completed in a year, so he should still be at one of these two places at this moment!”
Su He was delighted, he nodded his thanks and turned to leave.
A voice came from behind, “Daoist friend, with the imminent great battle in Mystery Huang today, Jixia Academy dares not dispatch disciples to leave.
Since you are heading to the Southern Sea, once the battle eases slightly, I will personally venture into the Extreme West Big Desert and will surely find the Ma Shi Emperor for you!”
The direction of Su He’s departure was exactly that of the Southern Sea.
A Cultivator capable of killing the Free Bodhisattva’s avatar was naturally an ally of Mystery Huang.
If he could join the battlefield, he might even tip the scales of the entire war.
“Thank you, Daoist friend!
Upon resolving this matter, a significant reward shall be bestowed!” Su He called back, burst through space, and reappeared above the Southern Sea.
However, he did not rush into the Southern Sea.
Instead, he revealed his Xuanwu True Body, and his consciousness passed into the Heritage Palace, sinking into the Heritage Sea.
While in his human form, he could neither enter the Heritage Sea nor visit the Phoenix Nest.
Everything within the Heritage Sea remained as before, and Su He merged his own heritage with the shadow, looking towards the Symbols left by White Spirit.
