ETERNAL MARTIAL EMPEROR, VOLUME 8 - Season 24 Episode 31

“You’re the Book Immortal?”

Although the plain-robed woman did not reply, Su Zimo was still surprised when he heard Xie Tianhong’s shout and could not help but ask.

“Why? I don’t look befitting?”

Yun Zhu smiled and asked instead.

Su Zimo replied, “No, I’m merely surprised to meet you in Avici.”

Pausing for a moment, he continued, “I’m also surprised at the fact that the person who stood in to help me at the Immortal Sect Selection was one of the legendary four great fairies, the Book Immortal.”

“The legendary four great fairies? We’re not that high and mighty.”

Yun Zhu teased, “Furthermore, you know three of the four great fairies. At the Immortal Sect Selection, the Zither Immortal and the Painting Immortal even fought over you.”

“You must be joking, Fellow Daoist.”

Su Zimo broke out in sweat.

He knew that Yun Zhu had only mentioned it casually and did not take it to heart.

Su Zimo had interacted with three of the four great fairies before. Although the three of them were peerless beauties with devastatingly alluring faces, their personalities, styles, temperaments and character were different.

Zither Immortal Meng Yao was arrogant, cold and extremely vengeful.

Painting Immortal Mo Qing was quiet and indifferent, as though she did not take anything to heart. No matter who it was, she was lukewarm to them and would not get close to anyone.

As for Book Immortal Yun Zhu, she had a gentle personality. When speaking to her, one would feel comfortable and could not help but relax.

Book Immortal Yun Zhu exuded a noble aura that even exceeded the other two fairies.

This aura did not stem from her background, status or appearance.

This was something that was consolidated after reading countless poems and ancient books and was indescribable.

When Su Zimo was young, he once read a poem describing the radiant aura of a scholar.

Now, from the Book Immortal, he truly experienced that radiance.

He had already seen three of the four great fairies and did not know what sort of a person the Chess Immortal would be like.

“What are you thinking about?”

Right then, when Yun Zhu saw Su Zimo fall silent, she suddenly asked, “Are you wondering about the Chess Immortal?”

“You can even guess that?”

Su Zimo was surprised.

Yun Zhu smiled. “It’s just a wild guess. As for the Chess Immortal, she only likes two things in her life. One is chess and the other is combat.”

“If she notices you, you only have two choices. You can either play a game of chess with her or fight her.”

“It’s better for me not to meet her.”

Su Zimo chuckled bitterly.

On second thought, he recalled something and asked in a seemingly casual manner, “Fellow Daoist Yun Zhu, where are you from?”

Yun Zhu was smart. The moment Su Zimo asked that question, she could guess what he was thinking.

“There’s no need to guess. Yun Ting is my younger brother.”

Yun Zhu said.

“Erm”

Su Zimo coughed gently.

Indeed, he had that guess in his heart. However, he was too embarrassed to ask her directly, therefore he chose an indirect approach.

To think that Yun Zhu would be so direct.

“Back then, I did not know that he went to the Emperor’s Tomb.”

Yun Zhu said, “No matter what, I have to thank you for showing mercy in the Emperor’s Tomb.”

“It’s not to that extent, I only defeated him by luck.”

Su Zimo recalled that battle. Apart from the power of his bloodline, he had almost released all his foundational methods before finally defeating Yun Ting.

That was also the most difficult battle he had encountered since he ascended.

At the mention of that, Su Zimo could not help but recall the jade talisman that he had kept in his storage bag for many years. It was the item that Prince Yuan Zuo valued the most and was also something he fought with Yun Ting for.

“What’s the use of that jade talisman?”

Su Zimo asked, “I heard that it has something to do with a Taboo Mystic Classic?”

Yun Zhu said, “It’s a rather famous Taboo Mystic Classic and is a cultivation technique that the Longevity Great Emperor cultivated in the previous era. It’s called the Three Pure Ones Jade Manual.”

Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat. It was a cultivation technique cultivated by a Great Emperor!

Yun Zhu continued, “As the name implies, there are three Jade Manuals for the Three Pure Ones. They are the Supreme Pure, Jade Pure and Grand Pure Jade Manuals.”

“After the Longevity Great Emperor passed away, the Three Pure Ones Jade Manual dispersed and passed through the hands of different cultivators. Many years later, it finally gathered in the hands of an Immortal Emperor.”

“This Immortal Emperor was the one in the Emperor’s Tomb. Unfortunately, he could not advance further and suffered a terrifying curse, dying on the spot.”

“It’s said that this Immortal Emperor knew that he did not have long to live. Before his death, he placed the Three Pure Ones Jade Manual in three different ruins and left it for fated people.”

“To be precise, this jade talisman is related to one of the ruins. There should be more than one such jade talisman.”

“No one knows who will finally obtain the Jade Manuals after entering the ruins.”

Su Zimo exhaled deeply.

…

It was only now that he understood the meaning behind the jade talisman.

Yun Zhu continued, “From what I know, the Supreme Pure and Grand Pure Jade Manuals already have owners.”

“It’s still a mystery who has the Supreme Pure Jade Manual. However, the Grand Pure Jade Manual is in the hands of a Heaven Immortal expert in the Grand Firmament Immortal Domain. Only the Jade Pure Jade Manual has yet to appear.”

“If I’m not wrong, the jade talisman you obtained should be related to the ruin of the Jade Pure Jade Manual.”

Yun Zhu paused for a moment before continuing, “Every single one of the Three Pure Ones Jade Manual is a supreme immortal cultivation technique. It’s not difficult for anyone who obtains one of them to cultivate to the Perfected Immortal realm and there’s even a high chance they can become an Immortal King.”

“If one’s talent and opportunities are enough, there’s a high chance they can advance to the Emperor realm.”

“Furthermore, it’s said that after the Three Pure Ones Jade Manual is fused into one, there will be even more mysterious changes. Back then, the Longevity Great Emperor comprehended this profound meaning and was able to live a long life.”

Su Zimo said, “There has been no reaction ever since this jade talisman was with me.”

“Wait patiently.”

Yun Zhu told him everything she knew about the jade talisman without hiding anything.

“May I ask what you’re doing in Avici, Fellow Daoist?”

…

Su Zimo put away the matter of the jade talisman for the time being and asked.

“There are many secrets about the Infinite Great Emperor.”

Yun Zhu said, “I’ve read some records about him but there are many blanks. Therefore, I’m very curious about him and want to look for some answers in Avici.”

“The secrets of the Infinite Great Emperor?”

Su Zimo frowned slightly.

Yun Zhu said, “For example, what was the original intention of establishing Avici?”

“I heard that it’s to suppress evil.”

“Perhaps, perhaps not.”

To that, Yun Zhu did not say much nor did she have an answer.

After a while, when she saw that Su Zimo seemed to be unfamiliar with the environment and terrain and was merely running around, she could not help but ask, “Don’t you know anything about Avici?”

“No.”

Su Zimo shook his head. “I don’t even know what the purple snakes I encountered previously and the poisonous scorpions that surrounded you were.”

“They are all living beings of Hell transformed from malevolent ghosts of this place.”

Yun Zhu replied confusedly before thinking to herself, ‘He has the Hell Suppression Tripod. How does he know nothing about Avici?’

After a brief pause, she continued, “If I’m not wrong, the Hell Suppression Tripod should be with you, right?”

When he heard that, Su Zimo stopped in his tracks and his expression changed slightly. Fairy Yun Zhu was even almost thrown off his back
