The Variant Immortal white tower was silent.
However, shortly after, the cold laughter of the Variant Immortal School's school head rang out from the upper floor.
"Being the leader of the Divine Fusion School, yet spouting nonsense, is a disgrace to your position!"
As he scoffed, the figure of the Variant Immortal School's school head appeared from the upper floor. In the main hall, he coldly looked at the Divine Fusion School's school head and berated him.
"You read ancient books? You verified history? You claim that there were no Variant Immortal Dao seeds in the past?"
"Then, take a look. What is this!"
As he spoke, the Variant Immortal School Head raised his right hand and pointed at the upper floor. Immediately, a terrifying soul thread fluctuation came from the upper floor. The strength of this fluctuation surpassed everything and was at almost 300,000 soul threads.
The moment this energy fluctuation spread out, a huge screen appeared which showed a huge figure.
It was the divine creature, earth child.
However, it was different from what the Variant Immortal School's school head had woven previously. The earth child that appeared at this moment carried the vicissitudes of life. The aura on its body was extremely dense, surpassing the scope of earth child. It gave people a feeling of Nihility, and it wasn't an ordinary Nihility.
The fluctuations of the soul threads were extremely terrifying. There was also a green snowflake in its body that shone with a resplendent light that connected to all the soul threads.
It was the dao seed.
Seeing this, the Divine Fusion School's school head fell silent. The students beside him, including the Seventh Prince, frowned.
Everyone in the white tower was shocked.
Some people had guessed the origin of this earth child, but this guess caused their hearts to stir.
"This is my Variant Immortal School's ancestor, Chen Daoze!"
The voice of the Variant Immortal School's school head echoed in the white tower.
"There are rumors that after he attained mastery stage and weaved earth child, he perished and became a specimen that was stored in our Variant Immortal School. However, in reality, how could he die so easily?!"
"Ancestor Chen Daoze chose to slumber and study the dao seed!"
"There was a dao seed in the ancestor's body long ago. Your claim that there were no dao seeds in the past is nonsense!"
"Moreover, even the ancestor himself has absorbed the dao seed, so how can there be the source you mentioned? Source? Tell me who is the source of the ancestor!"
The Variant Immortal School Head flicked his sleeve and spoke arrogantly. After that, he turned his head and looked at his students.
"All of you, open your eyes wide and take a good look. You can naturally tell if it's a recording or not. The ancestor is still in a deep sleep now. Take a good look and see if the ancestor's dao seed is the same as yours!"
The hearts of the Variant Immortal School disciples churned. They had noticed that the green snowflake on the ancestor's head was exactly the same as the ones they had fused with.
Facts spoke louder than words and could destroy all rumors.
A strange glint appeared in Xu Qing's eyes. He knew the origin of the feeling he had earlier but he was also very surprised. He didn't expect that Chen Daoze of the Variant Immortal School had faked his death.
'Chen Daoze's soul… Its density is several times higher than the school head's. However, it's a pity that the green snowflake has a limited enhancement on him. If it was a purple soul seed, it would definitely be able to allow his soul threads to break through 500,000.'
Xu Qing fell into deep thought.
The Divine Fusion School couldn't respond to the words of the Variant Immortal School's school head. At this moment, the gazes of everyone from the Divine Fusion School became solemn. Seeing this, the Variant Immortal School's school head sneered again.
"The person I mentioned who is in seclusion is our school's ancestor. He will emerge from seclusion in a month."
"If you still have doubts, do you dare to discuss the Dao in a month!"
As soon as these words were spoken, not only was everyone in the white tower shocked, but the students from the various schools who were paying attention to everything from outside the white tower also broke into an uproar.
The Imperial Academy's Dao discussion was the highest level of competition between the various schools and was also the foundation of the Imperial Academy. It was advocated that the various schools should discuss the Dao with each other to increase their persuasiveness and to recruit more students.
In the early stages of Imperial Academy, such Dao discussions were often held. In fact, some large schools' Dao discussions would attract the attention of the imperial family and the Human Emperor would also appear to watch the discussion.
However, now that time had passed and Divine Fusion reigned supreme, there were fewer Dao discussions.
However, today, the Variant Immortal School's school head actually proposed a Dao discussion.
These words were like a general unsheathing his sword.
All of a sudden, the Variant Immortal School disciples became excited. On the other hand, the people from the Divine Fusion School fell silent.
A long time later, the Divine Fusion School's school head retracted his gaze from the screen and looked at the Variant Immortal School's school head, calmly speaking.
"Alright, then a month later, when your ancestor is out of seclusion, we'll discuss the Dao!"
With that, the Divine Fusion School Head turned and left. His group also walked out of the Variant Immortal white tower with gloomy gazes.
In the Variant Immortal white tower, everyone was excited. The school head raised his head and waved his hand, telling everyone to calm down. He then placed his hands behind his back and returned to the upper floor.
As for Xu Qing, he looked at the departing Divine Fusion cultivators and took a few more glances at the Seventh Prince and the school head. After that, he turned his head and looked at the upper floor of the Variant Immortal white tower.
'Should I give him another soul seed?'
Xu Qing sensed the 99 purple snowflakes in his body. After pondering for a moment, he left the Variant Immortal School.
Late at night, in Imperial Academy, a pouch that was exactly the same as back then was sent to the Variant Immortal white tower.
The school head sensed it but he didn't fly out immediately. Instead, he waited for a while before leaving quickly. He didn't care who sent it over. He was very clear that since that mysterious senior didn't want to show his face, there was no need for him to inquire about it and cause dissatisfaction.
What he cared about was whether there would be purple snowflakes in the pouch as he had expected.
After obtaining it, he suppressed his excitement and returned to the secret chamber to open it.
After seeing the purple snowflake inside, the school head was extremely excited.
After a long time, he took a deep breath and carried the pill bottle that contained the purple snowflake into the Variant Immortal's restricted room. He arrived in front of the sleeping Chen Daoze and handed it over with both hands.
At the same time, in the white tower of the Divine Fusion School, there was also a significant event happening…
On the upper floor of the Divine Fusion white tower, in the Scripture Pavilion, the Seventh Prince appeared and was perusing jade slips.
Due to the characteristics of the Imperial Academy, the Divine Fusion School's Scripture Pavilion stored many disciples' cultivation insights so that it would be easier for future generations to improve. With the experiences of predecessors, the disciples would not go astray.
At that moment, the Seventh Prince was checking various jade slips.
He would have left tonight. However, after returning from the Variant Immortal School, he thought of praise from the school head, mentioning the '60 years period.'
"After 60 years, I will achieve greatness… However, the crown prince incense is burning and there's only a year left. So, I can't afford to wait for 60 years."
Unwillingness appeared in the Seventh Prince's eyes. Although he possessed broken through, he still felt that it was too slow. He hated Xu Qing and wanted revenge. He yearned to become the crown prince and take charge of the human race.
Originally, with his uncle, King Tian Lan, as his backer, it wasn't impossible for him to have a future.
But now…
"If my cultivation base is astonishing… everything will be resolved!"
The Seventh Prince felt a little frustrated. As he pondered, he searched, wanting to see if there were any shortcuts. He possessed also asked the school head about this, but the other party didn't tell him.
Just like that, time flowed by. Two hours later, the Seventh Prince, who had examined many cultivation records, suddenly had a dark glint in his eyes. He lowered his head and gazed at the jade slip in his hand.
This jade slip was the cultivation insights of a Divine Fusion senior. It suggested an idea, which was that absorbing enough souls of the same race seemed to increase the speed and limitation of the body's fusion with divine creatures.
However, this idea was too cruel and went against humanity. Hence, this person gave up and only used it on his enemies.
The Seventh Prince plunged silent. After a long time, he departed the Scripture Pavilion.
As for the jade slip, he set it in its original location.
After a long time, the figure of the Divine Fusion School's school head silently emerged in the quiet Scripture Pavilion. He stood where the Seventh Prince was previously and lowered his head to look at the jade slip with a faint smile.
