Eternal Sacred King

"Mr. Su, you've just woken up and you don't seem well. Go and rest first. I'll clean up here," Beiming Xue pointed to the courtyard.

Su Zimo nodded and did not decline.

He had just woken up and intended to check on the status of his body.

Back in his room, Su Zimo checked his consciousness and frowned.

More than half the power of the Life Severing Curse was destroyed by the Green Lotus Sword.

However, the curse was extremely vicious and still shrouded the black-haired Essence Spirit, preventing him from using his spirit consciousness.

There was no need to even think about comprehending Heaven and Earth or cultivating cultivation techniques to advance his cultivation.

This meant that if he could not remove the power of the curse, Su Zimo's cultivation would remain at the perfected Dharma Characteristic realm forever.

What was worse was that he could not use his Dharmic powers or any Essence Spirit secret skills!

It was difficult to remove the power of the curse with the power of the black-haired Essence Spirit—he had to make use of external forces.

Su Zimo gazed at the Creation Lotus Platform beneath the black-haired Essence Spirit thoughtfully.

At that moment, due to the existence of the Life Severing Curse, the Creation Lotus Platform was completely isolated from the black-haired Essence Spirit and even the glow that shot out from the lotus holes could not penetrate the power of the Life Severing Curse.

If the Creation Lotus Platform could recover to its original state and become a true Creation Green Lotus, the power of the green lotus would definitely be able to purge the Life Severing Curse!

However, how difficult would it be to resurrect the Creation Green Lotus?

It was probably many times more difficult than purging the power of the Life Severing Curse itself!

The only possibility was if he had the primordial divine spring.

But now, Dragon Bone Valley was the only place that had a primordial divine spring Su Zimo knew of.

However, the Green Lotus True Body could not enter it at all.

A year had passed since the battle in Heaven and Earth Valley. The Dragon race must have heard the news long ago. He wondered what the Dragon race would think if they knew that the Dragon True Body was a clone of Su Zimo.

The red-headed ghost and some elders of the Dragon race treated the Dragon True Body well.

Now that his Dragon True Body was exiled into the void and had disappeared, Su Zimo felt guilty towards the Dragon race and the red-headed ghost.

At the thought of the red-headed ghost, another doubt flashed through Su Zimo's mind.

After Patriarch Yuan Bei passed away, the red-headed ghost did not return to Dragon Bone Valley and nobody knew where he went.

Suppressing his distracting thoughts, Su Zimo closed his eyes and tried to connect to Heaven and Earth to remove the power of the Life Severing Curse.

Time gradually passed and in the blink of an eye, it was already late at night.

Su Zimo opened his eyes slowly and smiled bitterly, shaking his head.

He still could not do it.

The curse released by the self-destruction of a Mighty Figure of the Witch race was indeed terrifying!

It was already extremely fortunate that he was able to survive.

If not for the Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness, even if his Dragon True Body cultivated a powerful Essence Spirit and terrifying killing techniques such as the Reverse Scale, it would be difficult for him to defend against the Life Severing Curse!

"Huff! Huff!"

Right then, the sound of punches in the air could be heard from the courtyard.

Su Zimo walked out of the room and caught sight of a young girl practicing nine different motions under the bright moonlight. She was agile and graceful.

After a long practice, the girl's face was filled with sweat and she had a serious expression, not realizing that Su Zimo was beside her.

Su Zimo gazed at the round moon above his head in a daze, as though he had returned to that night many years ago.

Under the same moonlight beneath a tree where peach blossoms scattered, a woman granted him an opportunity and brought him onto the path of cultivation!

"Mr. Su,"

Right then, a voice sounded from the courtyard. Beiming Xue saw Su Zimo and stopped, panting slightly.

Su Zimo nodded. "This is the Martial Dao, right?"

"Yes,"

Beiming Xue said, "Desolate Martial wishes to establish a Dao and impart martial arts to all living beings. Even without a spirit root, one can cultivate the Martial Dao. Have you tested before to see if you possess a spirit root, mister?"

"I've tested and I don't have one,"

He shook his head.

"That's fine too,"

Beiming Xue smiled. "If you wish to cultivate, why don't you give it a try and cultivate the Martial Dao? I've been cultivating for around a year and I feel that my strength has grown. I've learned something from it."

When she saw that Su Zimo was indifferent and did not seem interested, she thought for a moment and said, "Even if you don't wish to enter the cultivation world, it's good for you to cultivate martial arts and strengthen your body."

"Actually, I know a little about the Martial Dao as well."

Su Zimo smiled gently.

"Huh? You know it too, mister?"

Beiming Xue asked in surprise.

"Yes,"

Su Zimo nodded. "There's something wrong with your technique."

Beiming Xue frowned and looked at Su Zimo skeptically. "This is a Dao move imparted by Desolate Martial. I've long memorized it. How can there be a mistake?"

Su Zimo did not say much and performed the nine actions of the First Transformation right in front of Beiming Xue.

"What's… the difference?"

Beiming Xue was still confused.

Their actions were almost identical.

There were only slight differences.

"You have to understand that among the Nine Transformations of the Martial Dao, there are only nine actions per transformation. These nine actions were tempered after countless years of deduction and there's no room for mistakes!"

Su Zimo said in a deep voice, "On the surface, it might seem like there's a slight difference. However, any deviation leads to a world of difference!"

Beiming Xue was still skeptical.

After all, she was once a cultivator and had even cultivated to the Golden Core realm.

If it was anyone else, they would be skeptical as well to receive guidance from a mortal without any cultivation.

In her opinion, how could a mortal who was not Dao Lord Desolate Martial understand his thoughts?

Beiming Xue said, "Mr. Su, I don't seem to have any problems cultivating. In the past year, my strength has increased. Although I'm not at the strength of nine bulls yet, I do have the strength of five bulls!"

Su Zimo said indifferently, "Given your cultivation speed, which transformation of the Martial Dao will you reach in three years time? The third or the fourth? In the aristocratic family competition, you will still be bullied by people like Dongfang Zhi, let alone take revenge."

Beiming Xue was silent.

She knew that Su Zimo was not wrong.

Given her cultivation speed, she would require at least 10 years to cultivate to the Blood Qi Golden Core!

Su Zimo continued, "Furthermore, if you continue cultivating like this, you might be able to condense a Blood Qi Golden Core in the future. However, your accomplishments will be limited as well. You can forget about reaching the later stages of Astral Infusion, Indestructible Diamond or even Dragon Elephant Force!"

Given Beiming Xue's talent, she could cultivate to the Sixth Transformation of the Martial Dao, the Blood Qi Golden Core, even if she were to cultivate on her own.

That way, she would have a chance to condense an Essence Spirit and advance to the Nascent Soul realm.

However, Su Zimo knew very well that the Sixth Transformation of the Martial Dao was not the endpoint!

The final three transformations of the Martial Dao were the true essence of the Martial Sutra. That was a heaven-defying technique that could transform one's body and suppress their peers!

Now that Beiming Xue's foundation was problematic, her future accomplishments would definitely be limited!

Beiming Xue could not help but be swayed by Su Zimo's irrefutable logic. After hesitating for a moment, she followed his earlier actions and practiced the first move.

Su Zimo shook his head gently and extended his leg, kicking Beiming Xue more than ten times in succession all over body!

Although Beiming Xue clearly saw Su Zimo kicking over, for some reason, she could not dodge at all. In a flash, she felt a sharp pain on her body.

Instinctively, she changed her actions.

The moment that action froze, her body surged with a hot sensation as though her body was burning and essence energy was fusing into her flesh!

Instantly, she broke out in sweat!
