Eternal Sacred King

2261 Breakthroughs

Now that the 10,000 Year Meet was over, there was naturally no way Xie Ling would stand guard here. Therefore, he left.

Su Zimo and the others passed through the water barrier in front of the cave and entered the Parasol Tree Secret Ground as well!

At the same time.

In the capital of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom, an ordinary carriage drove in slowly.

“Your Highness, aren’t you going to inform the other princes now that you’ve returned to the palace?”

The driver of the carriage looked to be old and his beard was grayish-white.

Although the driver did not send a voice transmission with his spirit consciousness, his voice seemed to have converged into a line that entered the carriage without spreading out at all. The surrounding crowd did not hear anything either.

In the carriage sat a young man with a graceful bearing and a dignified aura. However, he did not move at all and exuded the might of someone who had been in power for a long time!

However, the young man’s lips were extremely thin and coupled with his aquiline nose, his features looked sinister and cold!

“There’s no need,”

The young man replied indifferently, “It’s just a small matter of returning to the palace. There’s no need to alarm others.”

Without saying anything more, the driver rode on the ordinary-looking carriage and gradually disappeared into the crowd.

…

The moment Su Zimo and the others entered the secret ground, they felt a heatwave surge towards them. It was unbearable and suffocating.

It felt a little like the Raging Flame World of Level 1 of the Nine Heavens.

However, everyone quickly sensed that the surrounding heatwave contained a tremendous amount of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi that was far beyond their imagination!

In the middle of the secret ground, there was a gigantic tree with a massive trunk that required dozens of people to surround.

Every single leaf was more than enough to fit a palace.

“Is this the ancient Parasol Tree…”

Liu Ping raised his head with deep shock in his eyes.

Although the leaves of the ancient Parasol Tree were emerald green, if one focused their gaze, they could see that every single leaf burned with fine flames!

There were already cultivators who could not wait to find a spot to cultivate.

Time was precious. Even Su Zimo only had a hundred days of cultivation in the Parasol Tree Secret Ground!

“The closer you get to the Parasol Tree, the richer the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi will be,”

Princess Scarlet Rainbow secretly sent a voice transmission to many of her fellow sect mates from Heaven and Earth Academy using her spirit consciousness.

Everyone advanced one after another and tried to approach the ancient Parasol Tree.

Indeed, the closer to the ancient Parasol Tree, the richer the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi that could be sensed.

However, the searing energy contained by every single wisp of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi became increasingly terrifying and many cultivators could not withstand it at all!

Before long, everyone found a suitable spot for themselves.

The furthest distance from the Parasol Tree was more than a thousand feet. For example, Princess Scarlet Rainbow was on the closer end and she was around 200 feet away from the Parasol Tree.

To begin with, she cultivated fire-elemental cultivation techniques that were closer to the aura of the Parasol Tree. As such, she had better endurance.

Apart from Princess Scarlet Rainbow, Feng Yin and Liu Ping were the closest at less than a hundred feet away from the ancient Parasol Tree!

It was not hard to understand why Feng Yin could reach this point.

However, to everyone’s surprise, Liu Ping was comparable to Feng Yin!

Liu Ping inherited the body of the gigantic willow and possessed a tremendous amount of lifeforce. Coupled with the fact that he was a flora living being like the Parasol Tree, that was the reason why he could cultivate here.

Right then, a figure passed Feng Yin and Liu Ping and approached the Parasol Tree!

Su Zimo!

Feng Yin looked at that figure with a dark gaze.

But soon, as though he recalled something, he sneered and ignored Su Zimo, continuing with his cultivation.

Su Zimo arrived beneath the ancient Parasol Tree and closed his eyes to sense.

The Heaven and Earth Essence Qi here was the richest, most searing and berserk!

If it was drawn into his body, the destructive power would be shocking. However, it was nothing to the Green Lotus True Body.

Su Zimo leaped and landed gently on a gigantic Parasol Tree leaf. His body was bathed in flames as he began to absorb and refine Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, prepared to break through to become a Grade 9 Earth Immortal!

A day passed.

The cultivator at the bottom of the Earth Ranking did not break through. The badge on his body shone and he left the Parasol Tree Secret Ground regrettably.

Two days passed.

10 days passed…

Boom!

A vibration sounded from a leaf of the Parasol Tree as an incomparably powerful aura burst forth and surged into the skies!

Although Su Zimo was still in a lotus position, his cultivation realm had already crossed to the Level 9 Earth Essence realm!

At the same time, his Essence Spirit broke through to become a Grade 2 Heaven Immortal!

In just 10 days, Su Zimo had already made a breakthrough.

Everything happened naturally without any obstacles.

Boom!

...

Right then, a vibration sounded not far away from the ancient Parasol Tree.

“Ah!”

Someone stood up and roared into the skies. His black hair danced wildly and he was filled with an extremely powerful and violent aura that had already surpassed the Earth Essence realm!

Feng Yin had broken through and entered the Heaven Essence realm, becoming a Heaven Immortal!

As a reincarnated Perfected Immortal, Feng Yin was indeed extraordinarily strong.

If he had not encountered Su Zimo who appeared out of nowhere, he would not have ended in such a crushing defeat.

Although it seemed difficult to reincarnate and restart the entire cultivation process, his memories recovered more as his cultivation realm increased.

With the memories of his previous life, there were many times when bottlenecks in his cultivation could be easily resolved.

In that aspect, Feng Yin had a huge advantage!

Among the hundred Earth Ranking paragons, Su Zimo was the first to break through while Feng Yin was the first to break through to become a Heaven Immortal!

After breaking through that barrier, Feng Yin’s Essence Spirit, Blood Qi, Essence Qi and everything else evolved.

...

His injuries healed in the blink of an eye!

The regeneration capabilities of Heaven Immortals were even stronger than Earth Immortals!

Feng Yin sneered and walked towards the ancient Parasol Tree.

When he was a Grade 9 Earth Immortal, he could only cultivate at that spot.

Now that he was already a Heaven Immortal, his endurance was even stronger and he could come to the Parasol Tree directly to cultivate!

“Feng Yin, what are you doing?”

Princess Scarlet Rainbow looked nervous when she saw that.

She was afraid that Feng Yin would attack Su Zimo in the Parasol Tree Secret Ground after his breakthrough.

Feng Yin sneered without saying anything.

He truly had no such intention.

Firstly, even though he was now a Heaven Immortal, he did not have absolute confidence of killing Su Zimo, a Grade 9 Earth Immortal, here.

Right now, Su Zimo was in his peak condition!

The methods that Su Zimo displayed in the Earth Ranking competition made Feng Yin extremely wary.

Unless he was confident of victory, he would definitely not attack Su Zimo rashly.

Furthermore, there was no need for him to do anything in the Parasol Tree Secret Ground this time round—there would naturally be someone who would help him kill Su Zimo!

When she saw Feng Yin sitting on another leaf of the Parasol Tree without any activity, Princess Scarlet Rainbow was relieved.

On the other side, Su Zimo’s expression was calm and he did not even open his eyes.

If Feng Yin truly dared to attack him, he would not mind killing a second reincarnated Perfected Immortal!

Time passed by and on the 40th day, Liu Ping broke through and became a Heaven Immortal.

On the 48th day, Yue Feng broke through.

On the 66th day, Princess Scarlet Rainbow broke through.

After Su Zimo broke through to become a Grade 9 Earth Immortal, his cultivation was still increasing rapidly.

However, at this level, it was difficult to break through and advance without thousands or tens of thousands of years of accumulation.

A hundred days was still too short.
