After Tan Fei left, Duan Lingtian continued to learn about Wanfa Academy. Although he was distracted, his attention was still on the dark network.
Afterwards, he opened the darknet again and started browsing the various tasks posted on it...
The above tasks are either limited to beings below the God Emperor, or have no cultivation requirements. As for the tasks that are limited to beings above the God Emperor, I haven't seen any of them.
"I guess I can't see this kind of mission because I'm not strong enough."
"The person who arranged this 'dark net' is either the soul of the auxiliary artifact, or someone is controlling the dark net with the help of the formation that covers the Wanfa Academy... There are only two possibilities."
"The first time I opened the darknet, it seemed to confirm my cultivation level. It should be based on the divine power that appeared when I did my hand seals."
"However, as the saying goes, 'there is no smoke without fire'. Since the dark web is said to be created by the soul of the auxiliary artifact, it must be the same."
"Moreover, if someone was arranged to host the darknet, it would be impossible to hide the information so tightly after so many years."
"If it is a weapon soul, it can be explained. After all, as long as the owner of the weapon soul does not give orders, the weapon soul will definitely not talk nonsense in front of others."
Speaking of "weapon soul", Duan Lingtian is no stranger at all. His top-grade divine sword, Qiqiao Exquisite Sword, has a weapon soul, and it was also the weapon soul of other divine swords in the past.
At first, the other party's attitude was a bit cold.
But when the other party became his divine sword soul, she was completely loyal to him and obeyed his words. Even if he wanted her to self-destruct, she probably wouldn't frown.
The soul of an artifact exists because of the artifact and lives for its owner.
"The owner of that artifact should undoubtedly be the current sect master of Wanfa Academy."
"Moreover, after each generation of sect masters retires, they should pass this artifact on to the next generation of sect masters and pass it on from generation to generation."
"In this way, the dark web can continue to this day and continue to exist."
…
Duan Lingtian looked at the tasks hanging above on the dark web and found that there were even tasks to kill someone... However, no one took them yet.
"Are you killing people inside Wanfa Academy or people outside?"
"If it's the people inside...the palace master of Wanfa Academy, can he tolerate it?"
The Wanfa Academy also has rules. In the academy, all killings are strictly prohibited. If you want to kill someone, sign a life-and-death contract and then kill. No one will care about you.
But if you kill the other party without signing a life-and-death contract with you, then you have violated the rules of Wanfa Academy and will be directly executed!
Thinking of this, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but summon his third senior brother, Yang Yuchen.
Yang Yuchen, as the deputy palace master of Wanfa Academy, wanted to know more about this aspect.
"The Dark Web is indeed controlled by the soul of the artifact. There is no doubt about this... Our inner palace lineage has some inheritance classics, the kind that have been passed down to leaders of the past generations. Now that I have it in my hands, it also explains this."
"And the dark web artifact should and is indeed in the hands of the palace master."
Yang Yuchen said.
"should?"
Duan Lingtian was confused, even his three senior brothers didn’t know?
"It can only be said that it should be."
Yang Yuchen sighed and said: "This possibility is one-third... Of course, it is also the most likely possibility."
"one third?"
Duan Lingtian became even more confused. Is the possibility so small?
Before he could continue asking questions, Yang Yuchen had already continued: "The other two possibilities... One of them is that the dark web artifact is in the hands of the hidden powerhouse of our Wanfa Academy. That kind of thing is something that few people know about, and maybe only It’s in the hands of a powerful hidden man known to the Palace Master.”
"Such a strong person will not appear unless the Wanfa Academy encounters the disaster of annihilation."
"Of course, it's hard to say whether such a strong person exists...but what is certain is that in the many years of history of Wanfa Academy, there have been more than one such strong person, but they rarely show up."
"Even if there is, I'm afraid only the palace master knows about it."
Having said this, Yang Yuchen paused and continued: "The second possibility is that the soul of the dark web artifact exists independently and does not recognize the palace master as its master, but the palace master knows his existence and acquiesces to it. of his behavior.”
"No matter which possibility it is, it shows that the palace master acquiesces to the existence of the dark web."
When Yang Yuchen said this, he paused for a moment before continuing: "As for the issue you mentioned about publishing killing missions on the dark web... Actually, this is quite sensitive."
"In the past of Wanfa Academy, at the beginning, with the emergence of the dark web, few people dared to actually post killing missions on it...until a brave person posted a killing mission and actually solved the target. From now on, the entire Wanfa Academy will be shaken by it!"
Hearing what Yang Yuchen said, Duan Lingtian's pupils shrank slightly, "Third senior brother, was the person who was killed also a student of Wanfa Academy? Or was he someone from outside?"
If it were someone from outside, Duan Lingtian would think it was normal and not surprised.
But if it is an outsider, how can the darknet determine whether the target is correct?
After all, the dark web only covers the Wanfa Academy. How do you know people outside?
"It can't be someone from outside."
Yang Yuchen said: "The Dark Net only exists within the Wanfa Academy. You can issue hunting missions, but you can only hunt people in the Academy... People outside the Dark Net don't know and will not accept such tasks. "
"On the dark web, you can post a mission to hunt the academy students, or you can post a task to hunt the academy teachers... or even, if you want, you can post a task to hunt the palace master."
"For example, the current master of our Ten Thousand Fa Academy Palace, someone once issued a mission to hunt him down... However, no one accepted the mission to hunt him down."
Hearing Yang Yuchen's words, Duan Lingtian was stunned, "Anyone else dares to issue a mission to hunt down the palace master? Is he crazy? Are you not worried about the dark web artifact soul telling the palace master who issued the mission?"
Yang Yuchen smiled and said: "The person who posted it is either crazy or just testing... Of course, there is a third possibility."
"To test, someone must have asked someone to issue such a task, and then hide it in the dark to see if anything happens to the person who posted it... As for the third possibility, it is the task issued by the palace owner himself, and the person who posted it is just for fun. ."
When he heard the first two possibilities, Duan Lingtian felt normal, but when he heard Yang Yuchen talk about the third possibility, Duan Lingtian was speechless.
Palace Master, are you that boring?
"Do you think the palace master shouldn't be so boring?"
Although Yang Yuchen was not in front of Duan Lingtian, he seemed to be able to see through Duan Lingtian's heart through the air communication... Of course, he did not really see through Duan Lingtian's heart, but said so based on speculation.
"Our current palace master of Wanfa Academy is different from previous palace masters..."
Yang Yuchen smiled and said: "If nothing else, just take the fact that he wants me to be his successor. It is different from the former sect master."
"The former Palace Master, no matter how outstanding the people from the Inner Palace were, would not think of handing over the entire academy to the Inner Palace."
"But he doesn't seem to have the slightest concern. As the leader of the inheritance lineage, he doesn't care at all about the feelings of other people in the inheritance lineage."
"If I hadn't met him, I would never have imagined that someone could do this..."
When Yang Yuchen talked about it later, his tone also contained sighs. It was obvious that even he found some of the actions of the contemporary master of Wanfa Academy to be unbelievable.
"In the history of Wanfa Academy, many students and teachers have been killed...except for the three people who were killed inside Wanfa Academy, the rest all died outside."
"However, even among the three people who were killed in the Wanfa Academy, only two murderers were found... Before the murderers were executed, they also admitted that they took over the task on the dark web."
"As for the person behind the scenes, he has not been found out and is probably safe and sound."
"Because of this, many people have begun to question... Is the Dark Web really in the hands of the Palace Master? If it is really in the hands of the Palace Master, will the Sect Master not care about the tasks posted on it that cross the bottom line of the rules of the Wanfa Academy? "
"Of course, some people think that in order for the dark network to have greater authority...even if it is in the hands of the palace owner, the palace owner will not destroy him like this."
"As this kind of thing continues to happen, the authority of the Dark Net in the Academy is getting bigger and bigger... Everyone knows that the Dark Net can cross the bottom line of the rules of the Wanfa Academy."
"Of course, there is a certain danger in taking on a task that crosses the bottom line of the academy's rules. Unless it is done in a watertight manner, only the dark web will know about it."
"Because of this, some people complete tasks outside, kill people, and bring corpses and other things that can prove the identity of the deceased back to the academy... Such people often live well."
"The Dark Web will not betray anyone."
…
Yang Yuchen's words also gave Duan Lingtian a better understanding of the dark web. At the same time, he also had some doubts. Is it really the work of the master of Wanfa Academy?
If so, what's the point?
In order to put more pressure on the students and teachers of Wanfa Academy?
To train them?
Or is it because of something else?
Duan Lingtian felt that the deeper he looked, the less he could understand the dark web...
"I don't know... when the person who took over the task of testing me and even suppressing me in public will come to challenge me."
After stopping the interrogation with Yang Yuchen, Duan Lingtian thought about the fact that the task he was targeted was taken over, and his attention was involuntarily drawn to it.
And five days later, he finally got the answer.
"Duan Lingtian, come out!"
A sound like thunder sounded outside the second dormitory, not only alarming a group of students in the second dormitory, but also the students near the sword.
"It's Wang Yuntian!"
Soon, someone recognized the young man standing in the sky outside the second dormitory, with a look of surprise on his face, "Is it him who took over the mission against Duan Lingtian?"
