Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 1919: A Thousand Years Have Passed

“W-What do you want?”

The burly man panicked when he was suppressed by Su Zimo.

The mine was dark all year round and Earth Immortal experts outside would not come down here.

Therefore, a community of its own was formed beneath the mine.

If Su Zimo were to kill him and replace him, no one would care about this matter.

“If you behave yourself, I’ll spare your life,”

Su Zimo said coldly, “I don’t have many requests. Help me settle the 5,000 Essence Spirit Stones that I have to submit every year.”

Su Zimo came to the mine to cultivate.

If he killed this burly man, he would not have the energy to manage the hundred-odd people in the mine below. Instead, it would cause trouble.

The burly man heaved a sigh of relief and his expression softened.

It was just an additional 5,000 Essence Spirit Stones a year—it was extremely simple.

There were more than a hundred people in the mine. As long as he looted more ruthlessly, he could gather the 5,000 Essence Spirit Stones.

“Fellow Daoist, don’t worry. Leave your 5,000 Essence Spirit Stones a year to me!”

The burly man said firmly.

Su Zimo nodded. “One more thing. Watch over here and don’t let anyone enter my mine tunnel!”

Beneath the mine, there were many mine tunnels in every direction.

Some of the mine tunnels had two or three cultivators mining together while others had even more people.

Su Zimo was prepared to cultivate in this mine and naturally could not let others see him.

“No problem!”

The burly man agreed readily.

Those two requests were nothing to him.

Surveying his surroundings, Su Zimo’s gaze was sharp and none of the cultivators beneath the mine dared to meet his gaze!

The noseless cultivator felt a sense of regret.

If he had known that this seemingly frail scholar had such methods, he would not have rushed to sever ties with this person.

The Green Lotus True Body was the most sensitive towards Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.

Closing his eyes for a moment, Su Zimo walked towards one of the mine tunnels that was still shallow.

There was once a cultivator who dug more than a hundred feet into this mine tunnel and retreated after obtaining nothing.

However, Su Zimo sensed an extremely rich Heaven and Earth Essence Qi in this mine tunnel!

With the jade spatula in his hands, he dug continuously in the mine tunnel.

Indeed.

A mere 30 feet later, he unearthed a large Essence Spirit Stone!

That Essence Spirit Stone weighed five kilograms!

A single Essence Spirit Stone was 500 grams.

However, this Essence Spirit Stone could be cut into ten normal-sized Essence Spirit Stones!

Su Zimo was delighted.

Even the many Earth Immortal experts guarding outside would not be able to obtain Essence Spirit Stones so easily, let alone on the Dragon Abyss Star!

Without hesitation, Su Zimo assumed a lotus position and pinched an Essence Spirit Stone each with both hands. Circulating the Prajna Nirvana Sutra, he began to refine and cultivate.

Just like that, Su Zimo gathered Essence Spirit Stones and cultivated at the same time.

His Essence Spirit Stones were never depleted and he cultivated daily!

Time flew by year after year.

All these years, Su Zimo had almost never left this mine tunnel. Every year, the burly Grade 8 Black Immortal outside would help him pay the 5,000 Essence Spirit Stones.

His entire focus was on cultivation.

With the help of the Green Lotus True Body and the Prajna Nirvana Sutra as well as the endless accumulation of cultivation resources, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds!

After entering the mine for 189 years, Su Zimo broke through and entered the Level 8 Black Essence realm!

That cultivation speed was terrifying!

Even paragons and monster incarnates groomed by aristocratic families and sects would have difficulty reaching that level.

Su Zimo did not leave after becoming a Grade 8 Black Immortal and continued cultivating beneath the mine.

He was prepared to cultivate to become a Grade 9 Black Immortal before making further plans. If possible, he was even prepared to break through from the Black Essence realm and become an Earth Immortal!

771 years after he entered the mine, Su Zimo entered the Level 9 Black Essence realm!

Over the years, the cultivators in this mine had changed batch after batch.

Many of them could not hold on.

However, be it the initial or later cultivators, they knew one thing.

There was a mine tunnel in the mine that was forbidden and no one was allowed to enter!

After becoming a Grade 9 Black Immortal, Su Zimo rested for a few days and did not leave this place. Instead, he continued cultivating and advanced towards the Earth Essence realm.

This day, Su Zimo was circulating his mental cultivation technique while refining Essence Spirit Stones. As he cultivated, he suddenly felt a familiar call in the depths of his heart!

His eyes burst wide open.

The Martial Dao Prime Body!

Earlier on, he received a connection from the Martial Dao Prime Body and jolted awake!

At that moment, he established a new connection with the Martial Dao Prime Body!

The Green Lotus True Body had once floated in the black hole for a period of time. He could not sense the passage of time and did not know how long he had wandered inside.

It was only after he established a connection with the Martial Dao Prime Body that he obtained an accurate time.

It had been a thousand years since the Green Lotus True Body left Tianhuang Mainland and arrived in the upper world!

Over the years, after the Martial Dao Prime Body refined the Dragon Phoenix True Body and fused it into his flesh, he cultivated continuously.

Back when many immortals descended, they left many Essence Condensation Pills and Essence Spirit Stones for the Martial Dao Prime Body.

The Martial Dao Prime Body had already cultivated to Level 5 of the Fate Ring Secret Ground!

The Martial Dao Prime Body had created an unprecedented cultivation path. Although the upper and lower worlds were separated and it was difficult for the Green Lotus True Body and the Martial Dao Prime Body to meet…

Su Zimo could vaguely sense that the Level 5 Fate Ring Martial Dao Prime Body was definitely not weaker than a Grade 9 Black Immortal in terms of strength.

In fact, it might even surpass the Green Lotus True Body!

The Martial Dao Prime Body and Green Lotus True Body were one to begin with and came from the same origin. In the blink of an eye, many things were understood.

“Hell Suppression Tripod?”

Su Zimo murmured softly.

This was a key piece of information he had obtained from the Martial Dao Prime Body regarding the Bronze Square Tripod!

A thousand years had passed.

Monkey, the spirit tiger, Qing Qing, Night Spirit, Little Fox and the Golden Lion chose to ascend together and leave Tianhuang Mainland 300 years ago.

Old friends of the past such as Ming Zhen, Lin Xuanji, Demoness Ji, Yan Beichen and the others had already ascended one after another.

Of course, for the past thousand years, among the experts who chose to ascend, some of them died under the Heavenly Tribulation and their souls were dispersed.

One of the things that shocked Tianhuang Mainland was the failure of the Mystic Emperor’s Tribulation Transcendence back then!

After the Mystic Emperor chose a new Palace Guardian for the Human Emperor’s Palace, he abandoned everything and began to undergo Tribulation Transcendence without any attachments. Unexpectedly, he welcomed the Three of Nine Heavenly Tribulation and died in the end.

A hundred years ago, Beiming Xue’s Tribulation Transcendence attracted everyone’s attention as well.

It was not only because Beiming Xue was the eldest disciple of the Eternal Martial Emperor.

More than that, it was because ever since the Eternal Martial Emperor ascended, Beiming Xue was the second person in a thousand years to attract the Four of Nine Heavenly Tribulation and ascend successfully!

The Martial Dao flourished in Tianhuang Mainland.

After the Four of Nine Heavenly Tribulation, the Martial Dao was pushed to its limits and was comparable to the immortal, Buddhist and fiend Daos!

In fact, there were many cultivators with heaven spirit roots who abandoned the talent brought about by their spirit roots and chose to cultivate the Martial Dao.

The legend of the Martial Emperor establishing his Dao was recorded by the storyteller and spread through the mortal and cultivation world, passed down by everyone.

Every year, countless cultivators would head to a small town in the North Region to reminisce about the past and catch a glimpse of the strange scenery of peach blossom trees and mountains blossoming!

However, no one knew that there was a truly terrifying existence hidden in the depths of the peach blossom forest!
