Eternal Sacred King



Be it Su Zimo or Ming Zhen, they were already on the brink of a breakthrough after receiving the inheritance of Emperor Ananda.

However, because there was no Heaven and Earth Essence Qi in Avici, their cultivation realms showed no signs of changing.

If the two of them were to leave this place and absorb Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, they would break through right away!

"Tens of thousands of monks from Vessa Monastery have died here. If you're the only one who returns safely, you'll probably be in endless trouble."

The Martial Dao Prime Body said, "I have a faction in the Fiend Domain. Why don't you follow me to the Fiend Domain? There's an old friend from Tianhuang Mainland there as well."

"Alright."

Ming Zhen nodded. "As long as one is dedicated to the Buddha, they can cultivate anywhere, be it the Fiend Domain or the Pure Land."

"I'm from the lower worlds. Although I was able to join Vessa Monastery after ascending to the Pure Land of Bliss all these years, I've never felt any sense of belonging."

Ming Zhen did not say it explicitly but Su Zimo already understood.

All these years, he had encountered countless injustices in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain because he came from the lower worlds.

Although he joined Heaven and Earth Academy, there were still many cultivators discussing his background in secret.

In the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain, he killed his way through, destroying the Execution Guards and obtaining the top of the Earth Ranking. He killed many paragons and condensed the tenth stone step on the Dao Heart Stairs, creating many unprecedented records!

Even so, he was targeted by people; how could it be any better off for Ming Zhen who never bothered about worldly affairs?

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Thunder Emperor, Feng Cantian, was domineering and talented. However, in the end, he was imprisoned for hundreds of thousands of years.

Even after he managed to break free, he was tortured and severely injured, only able to flee far away into the Fiend Domain.

After this matter, be it the Green Lotus True Body or the Martial Dao Prime Body, they were prepared to leave Avici and return to Heaven and Earth Academy and the Fiend Domain respectively.

However, there was still something strange about this matter of Avici.

Avici did not have any cracks at all. Even Immortal Kings would die here if they entered it!

Where did that news come from and how did it spread through the Heavenly World?

Was it done on purpose or was it leaked by accident?

Out of caution, Su Zimo decided to separate his two true bodies and leave Avici at different times one after another.

At that thought, the Martial Dao Prime Body came before Mo Qing and handed over the Divine Ghost Immortal Fiend Painting in his hands. "This painting should be yours, right?"

Earlier on, he suppressed Sect Master White Bones and comprehended the secret of the Hell Suppression Tripod. Immediately after, he appeared to save Ming Zhen and did not manage to return the painting to Mo Qing.

Mo Qing hesitated for a moment before taking it and saying softly, "Thank you."

The Martial Dao Prime Body said, "If there's nothing else, I'll send you guys out of this place right now."

Yun Zhu frowned slightly and glanced at Su Zimo beside her, feeling anxious for him.

The Hell Suppression Tripod was taken away by Desolate Martial but it was never returned. Yun Zhu had witnessed this and remembered it in her heart.

But now, Su Zimo's expression was calm and there was nothing unusual about him, as though he had forgotten about this matter completely.

Even now that they were about to leave, Su Zimo did not seem like he had any intention of asking for it.

When Yun Zhu saw the Martial Dao Prime Body return the Divine Ghost Immortal Fiend Painting to Mo Qing, she felt that it was a suitable opportunity.

At that thought, she looked at the Martial Dao Prime Body and smiled. "Fellow Daoist Desolate Martial, thank you for saving us this time round."

The Martial Dao Prime Body nodded slightly without saying anything.

Yun Zhu changed the topic. "However, there's something I want to tell you, Fellow Daoist. The Bronze Square Tripod you obtained after suppressing Sect Master White Bones belongs to my friend."

"I believe that you definitely have no intention of taking it for yourself. Perhaps you've forgotten about this matter, so I'll take the liberty to remind you. Please forgive me if I've offended you."

No matter what, Desolate Martial had just saved them. Therefore, Yun Zhu spoke with politeness.

Su Zimo listened at the side and was curious what Yun Zhu wanted to say to the Martial Dao Prime Body.

To think that he would be implicated with just a few words…

He coughed gently. "It's fine, it's fine. We're all on the same side."

"Huh?"

Yun Zhu was stunned and looked at Su Zimo in confusion.

Su Zimo explained hurriedly, "I'm very familiar with him. It's just a lousy tripod. Let him play with it. It's fine."

"Lousy tripod?"

Yun Zhu was dumbfounded.

The Hell Suppression Tripod was an Emperor weapon and might even be the key to wielding Avici!

No matter how close the two of them were, there was no way he could give away a treasure as such casually, right?!

Su Zimo thought for a moment. "Well, he's just someone with a tough fist. Other than that, he's actually very poor and doesn't have any Dharmic treasures to protect himself. It's nothing much to give him a tripod."

"I've still got some lousy stuff here. In fact, I was vexed that I had no one to give them to!"

As he said that, Su Zimo opened his storage bag and rummaged through it. He caught sight of something in a corner—it was an ancient bronze lantern.

He rolled up the bronze lantern with his robes and took it out of his storage bag, tossing it to the Martial Dao Prime Body as he said casually, "Since this lousy lantern can't be lit, it's yours."

That bronze lantern was the Soul Lantern Su Zimo obtained in the Emperor's Tomb!

The origin of the Soul Lantern was mysterious and it could absorb souls as oil to ignite with the flames of one's spirit consciousness.

Back in the Emperor's Tomb, the oil in the Soul Lantern had long been exhausted.

Although Su Zimo had carried the Soul Lantern with him all these years, he had not discovered the origin of it.

The reason why he rolled up the Soul Lantern with his robes was because once he touched it, his Essence Spirit and soul would be in danger of being absorbed by it!

This Soul Lantern was definitely an extremely powerful treasure since even the Hell Suppression Tripod could not devour and refine it.

Back in the Emperor's Tomb, the flames of the Soul Lantern could even isolate the curse of the Emperor's Tomb!

In the hands of the Green Lotus True Body, the Soul Lantern was akin to a pearl covered in dust and he did not have the chance to use it.

As for the Martial Dao Prime Body, he had already smelted the Hell Suppression Tripod and would return to Avici in the future.

If the time was right, the Martial Dao Prime Body even wanted to explore Greater Avici. He could have greater confidence with the Soul Lantern by his side.

Thanks to Yun Zhu's question, Su Zimo took the chance to throw the Soul Lantern to the Martial Dao Prime Body.

When the Martial Dao Prime Body saw the Soul Lantern fly over, he reached out and wanted to receive it.

However, the moment his palm made contact with the Soul Lantern, his expression changed!

The Martial Dao Prime Body experienced the same situation when the Green Lotus True Body first touched the Soul Lantern in the Emperor's Tomb. His Martial Spirit was pulled by a powerful force and was about to enter the Soul Lantern!

Once the Martial Spirit entered the Soul Lantern, it would become the oil of the Soul Lantern!

The Martial Dao Prime Body reacted extremely quickly and the Martial Spirit Fire burned. Thereafter, he circulated the Fiend Obsession Sutra and activated the Mara Mask, isolating the connection between his Essence Spirit and Soul Lantern.

The suction force of the Soul Lantern weakened slightly.

The Martial Dao Prime Body retracted his hand hurriedly and waved his sleeves, sweeping up the Soul Lantern into his storage bag.

The entire process happened in a flash.

Naturally, no one could tell that the Martial Dao Prime Body had just experienced immense danger in that instant!
