Chapter 1216: Class Begins
The books did not say where Qi Xuansu could find such an ancient pseudo-ascension ritual
Daoist records likewise made no mention of it. Perhaps, it had already been lost in the long river of time.
Or perhaps Wu Luo, the Li family, and the Yao family knew, but they certainly would not tell Qi Xuansu.
The Li family’s knowledge could be inferred from the fact that they had inherited the Holy Xuan’s legacy and possessed the Longevity Stone Heart, so they must have conducted deep research into it. The Yao family’s knowledge was even more obvious, as they carried the bloodline of the Great Witches and were orthodox heirs of the Ancient Wuist Sect.
Surely, the Zhang family, which was one of the Three Great Daoist Families, would be aware. More importantly, the Zhang family’s ancestor, the Ancestral Heavenly Preceptor, had led the Zhengyi Sect to destroy the Ancient Wuist Sect and shatter the Lingshan Paradise.
If the Ancient Wuist Sect were regarded as a state, then the Lingshan Paradise was its capital. The Zhengyi Sect was the first army to breach the capital, slaughtering all the Great Witches within. Naturally, all spoils would have fallen into the hands of the Zhengyi Sect and the Zhang family. To claim that the Zhang family knew nothing of the Ancient Wuist Sect’s secrets would simply make no sense.
If the Yao family and the Li family would not help him, he could turn to the Zhang family for answers. After all, he was the Zhang family’s prospective son-in-law, and Zhang Yuelu was the designated heir to the Zhengyi Sect. Thus, such secrets would inevitably be passed on to Zhang Yuelu.
With this realization, Qi Xuansu returned the book to its place, activated his Class-C authorization to summon the mechanical puppet, and ordered, “Erase any traces related to me.”
The mechanical puppet’s eyes flickered with a clear light as it nodded. “As you command.”
However, Qi Xuansu also knew that if the Earthly Preceptor truly wished to know what had happened, his Class-C access would never be able to conceal it. This sort of mechanical puppet would certainly give priority to higher-level permissions.
He now seriously suspected that it was not Yao Pei who had leaked the secret, but this giant iron shell. Perhaps its eyes were image recording stones, capturing everything that happened that day, which the Great Sage Shi later reviewed. That was how Great Sage Shi learned of his blunder.
Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu kicked the big hunk of iron in irritation. “Go on.”
