ETERNAL MARTIAL EMPEROR, VOLUME 8 - Season 23 Episode 66

Xie Ling released a massive spirit consciousness and a faint halo appeared behind his head. True Essence gathered in his hands and he conjured hand seals repeatedly, entering the Parasol Tree Secret Ground.

The energy fluctuation in the cave calmed down before long.

“Everyone, follow me,”

With an apologetic expression, Xie Ling sighed and led the way into the Parasol Tree Secret Ground.

Everyone from Heaven and Earth Academy rushed in hurriedly as well.

Xie Tianhong, Feng Yin and the other cultivators could not help but enter curiously.

Everyone was stunned and dumbfounded when they entered the Parasol Tree Secret Ground.

On the gigantic ancient Parasol Tree, a green-robed cultivator sat on a gigantic leaf. He had refined features and Heaven and Earth Essence Qi surged within his body with a powerful aura!

He was not dead?

How was that possible?!

What the hell?

Xie Tianhong froze for a moment. Disbelief flashed through his eyes before turning into shock, doubt and coldness. Gradually, his expression darkened.

Feng Yin’s expression was terrible as well.

“Hahahaha!”

When everyone from Heaven and Earth Academy saw that, they burst into laughter with delighted expressions.

Xie Ling heaved a sigh of relief.

It was for the best that Su Zimo was safe and sound. Otherwise, who knew how much trouble would be caused.

“The Parasol Tree Formation failed to kill Su Zimo. He’s way too lucky!”

“Didn’t Xie Tianhong say that even a Grade 9 Heaven Immortal would be burned to ashes when the Parasol Tree Formation was activated? Why…”

Many cultivators looked at Xie Tianhong with strange gazes.

Xie Qingcheng heaved a sigh of relief.

Princess Scarlet Rainbow smiled as well. “Junior Brother Su, it’s great that you’re fine!”

Right then, Su Zimo opened his eyes slowly and swept his gaze across everyone’s faces, pausing slightly on Xie Tianhong and Feng Yin.

Everyone present had different expressions. Some were delighted, some were shocked and some were puzzled. However, only the two of them looked extremely indignant.

In a flash, Su Zimo descended from the ancient Parasol Tree and walked over slowly.

“You…”

Right then, Xie Ling’s spirit consciousness scanned Su Zimo and his pupils constricted with a look of disbelief.

“You’ve broken through to the Heaven Immortal realm?”

Xie Ling’s words caused a huge stir in the crowd!

Many cultivators released their spirit consciousnesses and scanned Su Zimo.

Indeed!

“That’s impossible. Before Su Zimo entered the Parasol Tree Secret Ground, he was clearly a Grade 8 Earth Immortal. In just a hundred days of cultivation, he broke through two cultivation realms in succession? There was even a major cultivation realm difference!”

Feng Yin frowned and could not help but say.

Although he was a reincarnated Perfected Immortal, he had never seen such a cultivation speed. What sort of talent did one have to be able to reach this level?

“Two cultivation realms in a hundred days is probably unprecedented!”

“Could Su Zimo be a Grade 9 Earth Immortal to begin with and hid his cultivation realm?”

“Impossible! We saw Su Zimo break through to a Grade 9 Earth Immortal in the Parasol Tree Secret Ground.”

The crowd was in an uproar as they discussed.

In everyone’s hearts, this was even more shocking than Su Zimo being safe and sound in the Parasol Tree Formation!

This was beyond common sense and everyone’s understanding.

It was not only the cultivators present—even Xie Ling pondered for a long time before gradually accepting the truth.

“Zimo, what’s going on? Why are you…”

Elder Zhong could not help but ask.

Su Zimo smiled gently. “Initially, I was indeed unable to break through to the Heaven Immortal realm in a hundred days.”

“However, not long ago, a formation in this secret ground suddenly activated and by some freak coincidence, helped me.”

“I wonder who is the loyal Fellow Daoist who helped me as such.”

Su Zimo looked at Xie Tianhong and asked with a fake smile.

Feng Yin was a cultivator of Imperial Wind Temple after all and most likely did not have such power in the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom.

As for the unfamiliar man in brocade robes, he looked like he had a noble status. Although he hid it well, Su Zimo could sense a hint of hostility from this person with his spirit perception!

“For some reason, the two guards guarding this place suddenly activated the formation. They’ve already been killed by Tianhong.”

Perfected Immortal Xie Ling explained at the side.

Since Su Zimo was safe and sound, he did not want this matter to expand further and pushed everything onto the two dead men.

“Oh?”

Su Zimo chuckled with a mocking expression. He looked at Xie Tianhong and said leisurely, “If that’s the case, I’ll have to thank you for your help, Your Highness.”

Everyone could hear the sarcasm in Su Zimo’s tone.

Xie Tianhong knew that this matter could not be hidden at all!

His gaze was cold and his tone was sinister, not concealing the killing intent in his heart at all. “There’s no need to thank me. We’ll meet again if there’s a chance in the future.”

Su Zimo smiled as well. “If we meet again, I’ll give you a huge gift!”

Both parties were smiling, but every single word contained a chilling killing intent!

Many cultivators felt their hearts skip a beat.

Su Zimo had just advanced to the Heaven Immortal realm and yet, he dared to threaten Xie Tianhong. The boldness of the top of the Earth Ranking was indeed far superior to others!

“Sure.”

Xie Tianhong had a high status and was a Grade 9 Heaven Immortal. Naturally, he did not take Su Zimo’s threat seriously and sneered fearlessly, “I’ll wait!”

With that said, Xie Tianhong turned to leave without any intention of lingering.

If the Parasol Tree Formation could not kill Su Zimo, he would only be embarrassing himself by staying here.

With Perfected Immortal Xie Ling and many cultivators of Heaven and Earth Academy around, there was no way he could kill Su Zimo openly.

However, this failure made Xie Tianhong even more determined to find an opportunity to kill Su Zimo in the future!

“Let’s go too.”

Everyone dispersed as well.

In the blink of an eye, Xie Ling was the only one left in the Parasol Tree Secret Ground.

He looked at the ancient Parasol Tree and frowned slightly.

He could clearly sense that the life essence in the ancient Parasol Tree had decreased significantly and a few leaves were slightly yellowed!

“Thankfully, I returned in time. Otherwise, this ancient Parasol Tree might not have been spared…”

Xie Ling was speechless.

…

Su Zimo followed many cultivators of his sect to rest in the palace. After bidding farewell to Xie Qingcheng and the others, he prepared to leave the Yang Immortal Kingdom and return to Heaven and Earth Academy.

This time round, Su Zimo had benefited immensely!

After returning to Heaven and Earth Academy, he wanted to enter seclusion immediately and absorb as much of his gains as possible.

He had obtained many cultivation resources at the top of the Earth Ranking this time round. Coupled with the Dragon Divine Pill he obtained on the Dragon Abyss Star previously, it was enough for him to cultivate in seclusion.

The Hell Suppression Tripod was completely repaired and the Taboo Mystic Classic, the Prajna Nirvana Sutra, was complete as well.

At the end of the Prajna Nirvana Sutra, there were two more Dharmic seals that were incomparably profound. Given his current cultivation, he could not understand them at all.

However, now that the White Tiger Sacred Soul was awakened, he could cultivate the secret skill on the fourth wall that was passed down to him.

There was also the third treasure derived from the Grade 11 Creation Green Lotus, the Primordial Unity Horsetail Whip.

The horsetail whip was extremely powerful and could be tough and flexible. Compared to the Nine Heavens Living Soil and Trinity Auspicious Jade, it was more suitable as an offensive Dharmic treasure!

In the Parasol Tree Secret Ground, flames burned and divine phoenixes appeared. Su Zimo even refined the Seven Tails Phoenix Feather Fan.

After absorbing a large amount of energy, the cracks on the Seven Tails Phoenix Feather Fan had already healed completely!

already a top-tier heaven-grade Dharmic treasure!

Although the Dharmic treasure had not recovered to the level of a Pure Yang Spirit Treasure, it was.
