ETERNAL MARTIAL EMPEROR, VOLUME 7 - Season 20 Episode 77

Old Man Ge glanced at Fang Xuan. “Although you’re invincible in the Black Essence realm of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom, you might not be able to dominate the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain.”

“Do you know who he is?”

Old Man Ge pointed to the young man leading the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom and asked slowly.

“I don’t recognize him,”

Fang Xuan frowned slightly. “Could that person have ascended through the Four of Nine Heavenly Tribulation as well?”

!!
“Hehe,”

Old Man Ge smiled. “That child’s name is Yun Ting and he’s from the upper world.”

“The surname Yun… he’s from the royal family of the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom?”

Fang Xuan asked with a frown.

Old Man Ge nodded slightly. “Yun Ting is not only from the royal family, he’s also the youngest son of the Zi Xuan Immortal King. He’s a prince and is dearly loved by the couple.”

Fang Xuan was even more puzzled and asked, “Why would someone of his noble status come to the Emperor’s Tomb personally?”

“I don’t know about that,”

Old Man Ge shook his head.

Fang Xuan pondered for a moment and smiled. “I think he’s just a rookie who doesn’t know what’s good for him. That must be why he came to the Emperor’s Tomb.”

Old Man Ge harrumphed coldly. “Don’t look down on the fact that this child is only around 200 years old. He was destined to be extraordinary from his birth!”

“This lad was born with a phenomenon. The moment he was born, the sound of a sword buzzing echoed for three days, lingering in the ears. At 100 years old, he comprehended a divine power of the Dao of the sword. That is extremely rare in the world! The Zi Xuan Immortal King and his wife even collected countless treasures to nourish his tendons, bones, flesh and blood.”

“There’s no doubt that the number one Black Immortal in this Emperor’s Tomb is Yun Ting. You’re not his match either,”

When he heard that, Fang Xuan was indignant. “No Dharmic treasure is useful in the Emperor’s Tomb. Even if he knows how to use a sword, he can only fight barehanded here and his combat strength will be greatly reduced.”

“Before we fight, nobody can determine who will be the victor!”

“There’s no need to argue!”

Old Man Ge’s expression darkened as he slammed his walking stick heavily. “How about you take a clear look at his status! Even if you can truly defeat him, you will have to die ten times over if you even hurt a single hair of his!”

Fang Xuan lowered his head and clenched his fists without arguing.

…

A day and night passed.

Su Zimo opened his eyes slowly and heaved a sigh of relief.

The flesh on his body had already returned to normal and the darkness in his left eye had vanished, as though it had never appeared.

In just a day and night of cultivation, he had already reached the peak of the Level 9 Black Essence realm and was only a step away from breaking through to the Earth Essence realm!

The energy of half of the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng was way too great and there was still a portion left in his body.

This was the Emperor’s Tomb and was not suitable for him to continue cultivating.

Su Zimo stopped after recovering his flesh.

“You’re fine now?”

Although Tang Ziyi was worried about Su Zimo, there was no expression on her face and her tone had returned to its usual coldness.

Su Zimo nodded and turned to look at the mud pit where the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng was originally, deep in thought.

“What’s wrong?”

Tang Ziyi could not help but ask when she saw Su Zimo’s strange expression.

Su Zimo pointed to the mud pit in the distance and said softly, “There seems to be… a corpse down there.”

He still had lingering fear when he recalled the scene of the corpse.

That corpse gave him an indescribable fear and pressure!

Even when he saw the corpse of King Feng Xuan back then, the fear and pressure was not as strong.

Tang Ziyi’s pupils constricted when she heard that.

“I got it,”

Tang Ziyi said, “Be it the lake or this island, there’s nothing strange about the surroundings. The reason why the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng was born was because of that corpse!”

The corpse provided the nutrients to nourish a supreme treasure like the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng!

Tang Ziyi said slowly, “This corpse was definitely at least a King when he was alive to be able to nourish a Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng.”

“The darkness earlier on should have been emitted by that corpse,”

Su Zimo said deeply.

“Since we’ve already obtained the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng, let’s leave first,” Tang Ziyi said.

Su Zimo nodded.

He did not want to experience that darkness again.

Given his cultivation, it was already extremely fortunate that he could escape alive.

…

“Why aren’t they out yet?”

Beside the lake, Li Tian was getting impatient.

The shrubs on the lone island were dense and the cultivators waiting by the lake did not know what was going on either.

However, everyone could clearly see that the seven rays of light that belonged to the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng had vanished.

This meant that someone had already plucked the immortal ginseng!

“Look, they’re out!”

Right then, a man and woman rose from a lone island far away and flew towards the shore—it was Su Zimo and Tang Ziyi.

Odd enough, the bloodthirsty Eyeless Fishes and Scarlet Black Squid from earlier on did not appear throughout their journey.

Even Su Zimo and Tang Ziyi were puzzled, let alone the cultivators on the shore.

“How could this be?”

Tang Ziyi murmured softly.

Su Zimo pondered for a moment and vaguely guessed an answer.

Without the obstruction of demon beasts, the two of them arrived at the shore before long.

There were many cultivators around the lake and various factions were gathered, staring at the two of them. The attention of everyone formed an invisible pressure.

However, both of them were calm and expressionless.

That was Tang Ziyi’s nature. No matter how many people she faced, she was expressionless.

Su Zimo was used to storms and naturally, such a scene could not suppress him.

“Fellow Daoists, it seems like you’ve already obtained the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng. Congratulations,”

Far away, the young man in the lead of the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom cupped his fists and declared, “I’m Yun Ting of the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom. I wonder if you guys have any intention of selling this immortal ginseng. You can name any price you want.”

“If you want to let it go, why don’t you open it for bidding openly so that everyone will have a chance,”

Another cultivator said.

“That’s right,”

That suggestion attracted the agreement of many cultivators.

“You guys can’t beat me,”

Yun Ting smiled gently. “No matter the price, I can make the decision and add 30%!”

Instantly, the discussions around them quietened down.

Those who entered the Emperor’s Tomb did not have high statuses. Even the fat and skinny old men were only servants of Prince Yuan Zuo.

The young man before them was an actual prince!

Even if their wealth was added together, it would not be as much as this person.

Seeing that many cultivators were silent, Yun Ting was pleased and cupped his fists. “Thank you for letting me win.”

“Prince Yun Ting, I’m afraid we’ll have to disappoint you,”

The skinny old man said slowly, “This Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng was obtained by the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and will not be let go.”

Yun Ting shrugged his shoulders slightly, seemingly unconcerned.

The fat old man looked at Su Zimo and Tang Ziyi and asked softly, “Who has the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng? Hand it over to me for safekeeping first!”

“Why?”

Su Zimo raised his brow slightly and asked.

The skinny old man urged with an impatient expression, “Don’t ask so many questions. Hurry and hand over the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng!”

“Prince Yuan Zuo said that if we obtain the treasures in the Emperor’s Tomb, we can take them for ourselves. What do you guys mean by that?”

Su Zimo asked with a fake smile.

A killing intent flashed through the skinny old man’s eyes.

The fat old man took a deep breath and controlled his temper, saying in a low voice, “You’re now the target of everyone. It’s not safe to leave the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng with you. It’s only safe in our hands!”

“Hand it over when you’re asked to! Stop with your nonsense!”

Unable to hold it in, Li Tian glared at Su Zimo and hollered.

“And if I refuse?”

Su Zimo asked with an indifferent expression.
