Eternal Sacred King



A thousand years later.

Divine Firmament Immortal Domain, Heaven and Earth Academy.

A sword beam sped over from afar at the legacy ground. In the blink of an eye, it arrived before a cave abode and appeared—it was Sword Immortal Yue Hua.

Right then, the door to the cave abode opened and a woman who seemed like a fairy in a painting walked out slowly. A snow-white butterfly danced around her—it was Fairy Mo Qing.

When Sword Immortal Yue Hua saw Mo Qing, he smiled and welcomed her. "I heard that all these years, you will head to the messenger pavilion of the academy every once in a while to browse through some news of the Heavenly World, junior sister?"

"Yes."

Mo Qing nodded slightly and replied indifferently without explaining further.

"Junior sister, why are you suddenly interested in the events of the Heavenly World?"

Sword Immortal Yue Hua knew that Mo Qing's personality was as such and was not bothered, asking with a smile still.

"It's nothing."

Mo Qing shook her head. "I'm just taking a casual look to expand my knowledge."

Sword Immortal Yue Hua knew that Mo Qing was not telling the truth, but he did not expose her and remained silent.

This junior sister of his was obsessed with the Dao of painting and cultivated in seclusion in the academy all year round. In fact, she rarely traveled and never cared about the outside world.

There must be a special reason why she was suddenly concerned about the Heavenly World.

However, Sword Immortal Yue Hua could not guess.

For the past thousand years, he had been paying close attention to the relationship between Yang Ruoxu and Mo Qing.

Logically speaking, Yang Ruoxu should be closer to Mo Qing after entering the Perfected One realm and joining the legacy ground.

However, to his disappointment, despite his constant observation, the two of them had never interacted with one another. In fact, they had not even met, let alone express any signs of flirtatious behavior.

On the contrary, Yang Ruoxu was very close and intimate with an inner sect disciple named Princess Scarlet Rainbow.

This puzzled Sword Immortal Yue Hua.

"Senior brother, is there anything?"

Mo Qing did not look at Sword Immortal Yue Hua and merely said softly, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Ah!"

Sword Immortal Yue Hua snapped out of his stupor and took out a messenger jade scroll from his storage bag. Handing it to Mo Qing, he smiled. "Junior sister, you're going to the messenger pavilion, right? I've brought you the latest news. It's nothing major, probably just some Immortal Domain Meet, Immortal Peach Banquet or the likes…"

"Thank you, senior brother."

Mo Qing hesitated for a moment before receiving the jade scroll. Her spirit consciousness was immersed in it as she browsed through it.

A moment later, a hint of disappointment flashed through Mo Qing's eyes after she read through the information.

"Why isn't there any news of the Fiend Domain?"

Mo Qing asked in a seemingly casual manner.

"The Fiend Domain?"

Sword Immortal Yue Hua pondered for a moment. "The Fiend Domain is extremely chaotic everyday with bloodshed everywhere and fighting. It's always the same."

"The greatest thing that happened in the Fiend Domain during this period of time might be the death of the Supreme Perfected Fiend Yan Zui and the others a thousand years ago."

When she heard that, Mo Qing's eyes lit up as she nodded.

She had long heard about this.

Sword Immortal Yue Hua continued, "I heard that a monster incarnate was born in the Fiend Domain. He's known as Desolate Martial and founded Tianhuang Sect. When he entered the Perfected One realm, he attracted the Nine of Nine Heavenly Tribulation and killed an army of a million fiends."

"Even the Supreme Perfected Fiend Yan Zui, and the other three experts on the Perfected Fiend Ranking died in his hands."

Suddenly, Mo Qing spoke and corrected him seriously, "It's not just the Nine of Nine Heavenly Tribulation, there was the Tenth Tribulation."

"Fufu…"

Sword Immortal Yue Hua sneered, "Junior sister, you're still too inexperienced in the pugilistic world. It's obvious that's fake news. It's way too ridiculous."

"Throughout history, there have been countless paragons and monster incarnates. Even the Great Emperors of history can only attract the Nine of Nine Heavenly Tribulation at most. There's no Tenth Tribulation."

"This matter goes beyond common sense. Most likely, it was exaggerated by busybodies and got more ridiculous through word of mouth."

"I reckon that this person might not have even attracted the Nine of Nine Heavenly Tribulation."

Mo Qing frowned slightly, seemingly displeased. "I believe it's true."

Sword Immortal Yue Hua could see the displeasure in Mo Qing's eyes and did not think too much about it. He thought that she was angry because he had scolded her.

On the contrary, he was secretly delighted.

Prior to this, Mo Qing had always been indifferent to him. Notwithstanding the fact that she had never smiled, she was not even angry at him.

Now that he saw that Mo Qing seemed displeased, Sword Immortal Yue Hua felt that the distance between the two of them seemed to have closed up.

Sword Immortal Yue Hua smiled gently and explained, "Junior sister, what I just said is only one of the reasons."

"It's said that Desolate Martial attracted the Nine of Nine Heavenly Tribulation and turned the million-strong fiend army into ashes with no survivors."

"Since they're all dead, who spread the news?"

"Furthermore, Desolate Martial's Tribulation Transcendence means that he has just entered the Perfected One realm. How can he kill four experts on the Perfected Fiend Ranking? In fact, there's even the Supreme Perfected Fiend among them!"

"Junior sister, why don't you ask other people and see how many of them would believe such a thing?"

Mo Qing said, "That's just your speculation. You've never seen him before, so how do you know his capabilities?"

"Fufu."

Sword Immortal Yue Hua smiled. "If Desolate Martial truly dares to appear in front of me, I'll definitely sever his facade and destroy this myth!"

The more Mo Qing listened, the more displeased she felt.

"If there's nothing else, senior brother, I'll take my leave."

They could not agree on anything. As such, Mo Qing spoke coldly and turned to leave before Sword Immortal Yue Hua could even reply, speeding towards the direction of the inner sect.

Sword Immortal Yue Hua froze on the spot with a dark expression, unable to recover for a moment.

He looked at Mo Qing's back view and was at a loss. He did not know how he had angered this junior sister with just a few words.

Sword Immortal Yue Hua took a deep breath and looked at the void in the distance, sending a voice transmission with his spirit consciousness, "Follow her and see where she's going."

The void swayed slightly and a figure flashed, following far in the direction of Fairy Mo Qing.

The inner sect of the academy.

Within the cave abode, Su Zimo opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

After a thousand years of cultivation, his cultivation realm broke through once more and he was already at the peak of the Level 4 Heaven Essence realm!

His cultivation speed had far surpassed cultivators of the same cultivation realm.

For example, Princess Scarlet Rainbow and Liu Ping had only cultivated to the Level 2 Heaven Essence realm.

However, Su Zimo could clearly sense that it was much more difficult to cultivate in the Heaven Essence realm.

Such seclusion cultivation would only allow one to break through a realm at most before they would be stuck and encounter a bottleneck.

He had been stuck at the peak of the Level 4 Heaven Essence realm for more than a hundred years.

Su Zimo stood up and came to a spirit garden not far away. He looked at the Ashoka Tree Trunk planted a thousand years ago with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

For the past thousand years, he would take care of the Ashoka Tree every once in a while.

However, even after such a long time, the Ashoka Tree showed no signs of recovery.

Right then, Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat as he touched his storage bag and took out a jade talisman.

The jade talisman was the one he obtained in the Emperor's Tomb back then!

All these years, there had been no activity from the jade talisman.

But now, the jade talisman in Su Zimo's palm began to heat up and was filled with a green glow!
