Chapter 2623: Page Turned to the End

"Is Zuo Qiuwu okay?" On the Daydream Bridge connecting the eight members of Taixu Pavilion to the Sea of Latent Intent, Cang Ming's black robe flutters with the sea wind as he asks.

Due to his experiences in the Cang Tu Heavenly Kingdom, he not only suspects Zuo Qiuwu but also the former patriarch of Diligent Academy, Song Qiushi.

"There are doubts." Huang Sheli sits on the edge of the bridge, her feet dangling towards the waves of the Sea of Intent: "Currently, we can only confirm that like us, he is a Book Flipper, not a person within the book."

"With the strength of Dean Zuo, it's entirely possible for him to be alerted and break free from the temporal deep trap when it arrived, walking through page after page of time-space fragments to preserve the academy's flame," Ji Kui says slowly.

"But he didn't send out any messages," Qin Zhizhen analyzes. "If Dean Zuo had successfully escaped, even if he only successfully transmitted a message, Book Mountain should have solved the problem long ago."

"Hehe," Dou Zhao chuckles coldly.

"There's also the possibility that Dean Zuo made many efforts but ultimately didn't escape himself," Ji Kui says.

"Speaking of which, where are the people from Book Mountain?" Qin Zhizhen asks.

Given such a huge change in Diligent Academy, it's impossible for Book Mountain not to intervene. Since, as Zhao Wuyan said, several deans have all ascended Book Mountain, they must be rushing to solve the problem. Yao Fu, Chen Pu, and Bai Gexiao are all true grandmasters capable of shouldering responsibility.

So... where are the people from Book Mountain? Where are the several great grandmasters? What is Zi Mister, who rarely makes a move, doing now?

"Perhaps they are also solving the problem," Huang Sheli says. "Just in different book pages from us."

"What about this Cui Yimo?" Dou Zhao props his knife with one hand, half-squatting at the bridgehead.

"Indeed," Li Yi says.

"I also tend to believe he is the real one," Jiang Wang says. "Bian Chengyanjun saw Cui Yimo, and he should also be a Book Flipper, but he disguised himself as someone who didn't originally appear on that page of the book. Is there some taboo in that history?"

"What's different about that history?" Ji Kui asks.

Jiang Wang shakes his head: "We just met and then lost contact, so there's no way to observe further. But there are many people within that page of the book, coming and going."

Qin Zhizhen seems deep in thought: "It seems that for the disciples of Diligent Academy, that was a relatively safe time-space..."

Everyone understands his unspoken meaning—if this page of time-space is eventually considered history, then the ending of Diligent Academy is relatively complete.

"Speaking of which... How does Brother Jiang have such a deep understanding of time-space?" Huang Sheli tilts her head, a smile on her face: "Secretly taking extra lessons?"

Chong Xuanzun sighs silently.

Jiang Wang opens his mouth, about to briefly tell the story of casually burning the Cang Tu God.

Cang Ming has already spoken first: "There is also a Sea of Time deep within the Cang Tu Heavenly Kingdom. We just came back from there last year."

Huang Sheli glares at him: "Next time, don't interrupt."

"Let's go!" Outside the Sea of Latent Intent, inside the moon gate, Jiang Wang pats Cui Yimo's shoulder and takes the lead to walk into the spring beyond the door.

Everyone follows closely, filing in.

This time, Jiang Wang no longer holds back. As he walks, frost and snow fill the sky. If there is any obstruction, he only needs to look up to see the Samadhi True Fire burning the "Text Wall" and the "Six Yao Mountains and Rivers Ban."

The only season he walks through is winter!

The Harsh Winter Immortal Technique makes what should hibernate, hibernate, and what should be sealed, sealed.

With extreme knowledge, and his understanding of Cui Yimo... having deeply comprehended the Samadhi True Fire of this time-space, it is truly beneficial without any harm. He will dismantle the carefully designed exam questions one by one, and no matter what it is, one flame will burn it.

If there are truly stubborn exam questions, which also represent that this time-space still has fresh cognition, Chong Xuanzun will step forward with a knife.

"Cabinet Member Huang," Cui Yimo follows step by step within the team, carefully asking: "Where are we going now?"

Huang Sheli observes the surrounding environment and says casually: "Flip this page of your book to the end and go see the content of other book pages."

"Is my life just a page of a book? But why would it be like this..." Cui Yimo asks.

"This is a problem caused by the disorder of time-space and the reverse flow of history. Your Diligent Academy claims 'History First' and has the responsibility of correcting history. You should understand these things," Huang Sheli finally turns her gaze back to him: "Should we ask you, before the changes happened, were there any special things happening in Diligent Academy?"

Time-space fragments divided by time, and time-space fragments divided by specific people, are like the difference between "Chronicles" and "Biographies" in a history book.

Cui Yimo can, of course, understand.

"Nothing special, I've always cultivated day after day. The chores in the academy don't involve me, and the burdens are all carried by the Mister..." After realizing that what he sees is not unique history, Cui Yimo becomes more lively and actively starts to think about the truth: "What I don't understand is, why would a perfectly fine Diligent Academy suddenly become a history book?"

"What did you just say?" Cang Ming, standing on the various outer god statues, suddenly turns back.

His suddenly open, like a glass crack-like eye, startles Cui Yimo. "I said... nothing special."

This time, Cang Ming has swallowed enough destructive power and has a deep understanding of the destruction process of Diligent Academy in this time-space. His breathing has become very cold. He shakes his head: "Not that sentence."

Cui Yimo deliberates and says: "A perfectly fine Diligent Academy, why would it become a history book?"

Yes...

Cang Ming's features are always hidden under the face mask, and only his exposed pupils show no emotion, like objects. But he is always seriously thinking about the whole thing—everyone in Taixu Pavilion cares very much about Zhong Xuan's safety, just in different ways.

"Why?" Cang Ming controls the various outer god statues, which instantly rise into the sky: "Because turning the renowned Diligent Academy of ten thousand years into a volume of history can serve as steps, allowing that person to jump out of the absolute peak and walk towards the final path of transcendence!"

He has clearly thought through the last part and confirmed that this is the truth. Terrifying destructive power condenses in the blood-red eyes of the god statue: "I think I understand why Book Mountain wants to seal messages and close its doors to solve the problem. Because this person once proved forever that this is also the transcendence of Confucianism. Since the sleep of the Confucian Saint and the sacrifice of King Qinwen, the Confucian family has not been able to voice its opinions for a long time. Regardless of success or failure, Book Mountain does not want external forces to interfere."

The Great Shepherd King Qinwen, Shi Baizhou, who insisted on marrying the Great Shepherd Empress and became a son-in-law to the grassland imperial family that year, once broke ties with Book Mountain. Later, there were signs of some easing of relations, but Shi Baizhou soon died in the Heavenly Kingdom in battle. Therefore, neither the Wang Court faction nor the God Teach faction in the grassland actually thought highly of Book Mountain.

Everyone's speed is very fast. In just a few breaths, they have passed through three heavy doors. Cold frost creeps onto the eaves, and true flames fly in the air. Jiang Wang, walking at the forefront, turns back at this point: "If that person wants to use Diligent Academy as the price for transcendence, with my understanding of Dean Chen Pu and Dean Bai Gexiao, they will not agree."

"I am more familiar with Dean Yao Fu," Qin Zhizhen also says. "Dean Yao is upright and casual, with a great sense of justice. He will absolutely not compromise on this kind of thing."

"What about Zi Mister? Who understands Zi Mister? He is a symbol of the Confucian door. His character is not important, but his perspective on problems is certainly based on the interests of the entire Confucian door." Dou Zhao, who naturally dislikes Book Mountain in Great Chu, also echoes Cang Ming's view: "Even if several deans are as upright as you say and love the common Confucian students, is it possible that Zi Mister deliberately invited them up the mountain to delay time?"

"The possibility exists," Ji Kui says.

Chong Xuanzun is still walking forward alone, his large sleeves fluttering. He sees a problem and strikes with a knife.

Whether it's the Three Tombs and Five Classics or the Eight Suo and Nine Qiu, no matter how obscure the problems are, the answers always appear with the problems.

Everyone in Taixu Pavilion has very precious time. Who would bother to participate in exams here, spending ten days or half a month—

The process of solving problems is nothing more than the process of understanding. It is only out of concern for Zhong Xuan that they are hesitant to act.

Now they have all almost understood, so they want to flatten this world.

They just need a little more confirmation of details, and this little time for mutual confirmation is also almost enough for Chong Xuanzun to break through the historical fragments extended by Cui Yimo.

Several Taixu Cabinet members speak one after another, constantly breaking Cui Yimo's understanding. He follows along slightly bewildered: "The 'that person' you are talking about... who is it? Why is it suddenly said that someone wants to borrow this to transcend?"

Cui Yimo doesn't understand at all how the process of answering questions by slaying generals has suddenly become the final exam. He is still very far from the endpoint of the extraordinary, not clear about standing in that position, with no more clouds blocking his eyes in front of him. What he sees is nothing more than endless distance and the high dome outside the limits of the present world.

Please... You... Collect (Six\Nine\Book\Bar!)

Diligent Academy is, of course, a great sect in the world, with a glorious past and still powerful today. But for today's Taixu Pavilion, it is no longer enough to be seen.

When the eight giant crocodiles jumped into the history of Diligent Academy, there was actually not much maneuvering space in this small pool!

"Because for them now..." Huang Sheli looks back: "Except for transcendence, there are no major matters."

Someone is playing god tricks, racking their brains to arrange countless difficult problems, listing them one by one, confusing the mind. But with the power of Taixu Pavilion to horizontally sweep the four seas, they can completely overturn this house and point the sword at the root of all problems—it has been confirmed that Zhong Xuan is not in this time-space.

"The transcends we all recognize exist, and unknown transcends may be happening. Since we are all involved, the other side is still hiding its head and showing its tail, concealing... it's impossible for someone to just be trying to climb the absolute peak." Qin Zhizhen always walks at the back. He nods his mouth towards the person in front wearing green clothes: "If it's just the absolute peak, no matter where the Dao is proven, that one sword will block it."

Cui Yimo is silent!

Ji Kui asks at this time: "Does your Diligent Academy have a hidden grand Confucian who is stronger than Zuo Qiuwu? Everyone thinks he is dead, but he still exists. For example, Song Qiushi?"

Cui Yimo's heart is full of waves, one wave overturning another, shaking his head: "Hidden Misters should all be in Book Mountain. As for Ancestor Master Song... at least I haven't heard that he is still alive."

Ji Kui doesn't expect him to reveal any secrets and says very directly: "If not, the 'that person' we discussed is either Zuo Qiuwu or Si Maheng."

Cui Yimo finds it difficult to accept such a result. Zuo Qiuwu is the dean he respects and loves, and Si Maheng is the spiritual leader of all history cultivators, and even more so, the golden signboard of Diligent Academy. Whichever falls into degeneracy makes him sad.

But thinking about his own over three hundred years of wasted effort, being sealed and suppressed, having his cultivation locked... all the clues he has seen point towards that result.

Actually, there is another clear thought—since it has been confirmed that the changes in Diligent Academy are related to the academy itself, they just need to ask one more question: within Diligent Academy, who can so calmly suppress Zhong Xuan?

The answer is actually very few!

Because today's Zhong Xuan also stands outside the absolute peak.

"Since everyone has reached a consensus..." Cang Ming's hand hidden under his long robe gently pushes, and the blood-red eyes of the various outer god statues sweep horizontally in an instant. Destructive power, like an infinitely extending blood-colored sword, instantly cuts through the four directions of heaven and earth.

What red tiles and white walls, what small bridges and flowing water, what pavilions... all are like sections of cut paper, fluttering and sprinkling into the constantly flowing time.

Looking up, one world is instantly destroyed, and in the cracked pupils of Cang Ming, there are gaps flowing with blood light.

Jiang Wang glances at this scene and secretly praises.

After Cang Ming's eyes cracked open from the god pupils, there were two development directions: one was a more targeted god-exterminating power for gods, and the other was a purer destructive power. He is now obviously developing towards the latter.

The historical fragments extended by Cui Yimo only fly and turn in front, gradually scattering far away. Under their feet are whistling colored historical fragments, carrying countless stories within them, floating and sinking.

Everyone stands still, their bodies in the only preserved stable space—this is, of course, Qin Zhizhen's masterpiece.

He locks the void, making it like a raft, carrying everyone floating in the chaotic flow of years.

And Huang Sheli is at the forefront, searching with her light, she is the one steering.

Chong Xuanzun has already put away his knife at this time, still holding that volume of green slips and looking—when he was solving problems, it was a book in one hand and a knife in the other. The moment the knife leaves his hand, the book does not leave his hand, looking quite elegant. Everyone else has experienced dangers, only he seems to be on an outing.

Ji Kui notices something is wrong: "Where is Li Yi?"

Jiang Wang says: "He went to chase Zuo Qiuwu. He captured traces just now in a Heart Sword."

Dou Zhao squints at him: "Did he specifically notify you?"

Jiang Wang shrugs: "I guessed."

He of course did not just guess. The first time Li Yi left, he had already discovered it.

And his Ruyi Immortal Thought followed the crack in Cui Yimo's page of history, spreading within the entire history book of Diligent Academy...

"Do you... want to stop this?" Cui Yimo thinks again and again, finally asking this question.

Dou Zhao turns back and looks at him: "Do you want to stop us?"

"Don't scare him," Jiang Wang takes a step forward, blocking Dou Zhao's line of sight, and says to Cui Yimo: "Brother Cui has read more books than I have, so I don't need to teach you right from wrong. I won't talk about any big principles, I'll just say one thing—Zhong Xuan is a member of our Taixu Pavilion, and our Taixu Pavilion is responsible for him."

"Whether it's Zuo Qiuwu or Si Maheng, or even Zi Mister... no matter who that person is, no matter how grand their ideals are, they are not allowed to use our Mister Zhong as a consumable."

He finishes this declaration calmly, and says softly: "Do you want me to send you out first?"

Cui Yimo bows to him: "No matter what the result is... please let me see."

Everyone no longer speaks, and Dou Zhao just curls his lips, directly taking a step forward, jumping out of this stable space and killing into the chaotic flow of time-space—

Although this time-space is complex and the chaotic flow is more like knives and axes, the War Ghost Body traverses between them, letting time splash, without a single wound.

He sees that Ji Kui's lightning has already replaced the thunder of Cui Yimo's time-space and is spreading further into every page of this academy's history book. He also notices that while Cang Ming is destroying one world, he is also manifesting in various worlds, and the god-exterminating statues also have the spread of gods. Qin Zhizhen seems to be just honestly maintaining this space, but he has actually refined the void and extended it. Space is already connected to space... Everyone on stage has their own methods, how can he, Dou Zhao, fall behind?

He doesn't seek so many complex clues.

Diligent Academy has been established for more than forty thousand years. With this body traversing the torrents of history, he only asks—who can take this knife?
