Chapter 1823 - To Dragon Abyss City
Part of the reason why Su Zimo came out of seclusion this time round was because he had a breakthrough. At the same time, it was because he no longer had Essence Condensation Pills.
In the Black Essence realm, Essence Condensation Pills were extremely useful for cultivators.
As for the Green Lotus True Body, his demand for Essence Condensation Pills was much greater than ordinary cultivators!
Although Su Zimo did not have any Essence Condensation Pills in his storage bag, he had more than three million stalks of Essence Nourishing Grass and Rain Frost Flower.
This was what he had gathered from the Evil Wolf Army and Shadow as well as the others of Blood Sun Valley 10 years ago.
If he were to exchange all those immortal herbs in Blood Sun Valley, he could get more than 30,000 Essence Condensation Pills in return.
Of course, even if he had no feud with Blood Sun Valley, Su Zimo would definitely not head there.
He had once heard Xia Qingying mention that if he could head to Dragon Abyss City, ten immortal herbs could be exchanged for one Essence Condensation Pill.
More than three million immortal herbs meant more than 300,000 Essence Condensation Pills!
In the past 10 years, Duan Tianliang had also collected 100,000 immortal herbs from the surrounding hundred Mu of spirit fields.
Now that Su Zimo was out of seclusion, he was prepared to head to Dragon Abyss City to take a look.
"What?!"
Duan Tianliang was shocked when he heard Su Zimo's decision.
Dragon Abyss City was the largest city on the entire Dragon Abyss Star and was also the only place where there were native immortals.
Ever since Duan Tianliang and the others ascended to Dragon Abyss City, they were chased out and had never returned.
"Boss, the journey to Dragon Abyss City is long. Apart from some dangerous places, the most terrifying thing is that there are all sorts of bandits. We…"
Duan Tianliang did not continue.
His meaning was clear. Although Su Zimo was a Grade 5 Black Immortal with immense combat strength and could even fight across cultivation realms, their overall strength was still too weak.
The Silver Giant, nine-headed bird and other ferocious beasts could only step foot into an area occupied by cultivators as mounts.
If they appeared rashly, all the cultivators could kill them even without any reason!
There were way too many Black Immortals on the Dragon Abyss Star that were stronger than the Silver Giant and the nine-headed bird.
Duan Tianliang said, "I remember that about a thousand years ago, when the Territorial Lord of Snow Wind Ridge had just broken through to Grade 6 Black Immortal, he was also in high spirits and wanted to head to Dragon Abyss City. To think that he would encounter bandits along the way."
"Snow Wind Ridge suffered immense losses. The Territorial Lord of Snow Wind Ridge only managed to survive and return because Blood Sun Valley arrived in time."
Pondering for a moment, Su Zimo said, "The three of us are the only ones heading to Dragon Abyss City this time round. Our group is too small a target and shouldn't attract attention. The danger will be much less as well."
Su Zimo looked at Big Yellow. "You should know the way to Dragon Abyss City, right?"
Big Yellow nodded hurriedly.
All these years, he had followed the Blood Sun Valley army to Dragon Abyss City.
That path was relatively safer.
Blood Sun Valley was one of the eight major factions of the Dragon Abyss Star after all and almost no bandits dared to provoke their army.
When they saw the flag of Blood Sun Valley from afar, many bandits retreated against the threat of them.
"Let's go,"
Su Zimo said, "Let's go now."
Rather than dawdle here, he might as well head to Dragon Abyss City as soon as possible to broaden his horizons.
Dragon Abyss City could be said to be the center of the Dragon Abyss Star!
That was the only place that could resolve many of Su Zimo's doubts over the years.
When Duan Tianliang saw that Su Zimo was determined, he did not dare to persuade further and could only grit his teeth and follow behind Su Zimo.
This time round, Su Zimo even specially had Duan Tianliang ride on the Ying Zhao and took out an inferior black-grade Dharmic treasure from his storage bag to give to the latter.
Instantly, Duan Tianliang beamed and swept away the doubts in his heart.
"Boss, even if it's a mountain of blades or a sea of flames ahead, I'll accompany you, let alone Dragon Abyss City!"
Duan Tianliang patted his chest excitedly.
The two men and two beasts did not linger in the desolate lands and left for Dragon Abyss City.
Big Yellow carried Su Zimo and led the way.
After a few days, Su Zimo's group of four passed by Snow Wind Ridge and looked from afar.
There had not been much changes to Snow Wind Ridge in the past ten years. Standing from afar, one could still see the scene of spirit farmers and guards patrolling.
Without any delay, Su Zimo rode on Big Yellow and continued around Snow Wind Ridge.
The four of them traveled day and night and only stopped occasionally to rest. They did not encounter any trouble along the way.
Some of the bandits had already retreated quietly when they saw the aggressive Level 5 Black Essence realm Ying Zhao.
This day, Su Zimo's group of four arrived before a mountain range.
Not far ahead, the mountains were lush and rose and fell endlessly like a green ocean.
"This is the Hundred Thousand Mountains,"
Over the years, Big Yellow's current body had become accustomed to human tongue again as it spoke, "It'll take about 10 days to cross the Hundred Thousand Mountains."
"Many bandits like to ambush cultivators in the Hundred Thousand Mountains,"
Duan Tianliang said, "I heard that there are many ferocious beasts and living beings here!"
Big Yellow said, "Indeed, there are many. However, many years ago, the Valley Master of Blood Sun Valley led the army of Blood Sun Valley and killed many ferocious beasts and living beings in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, opening up a path of blood!"
"Basically, no ferocious beasts or living beings would dare to step foot on this path of blood. That's why it's much safer."
Su Zimo nodded and patted Big Yellow on the head. "Let's go."
After searching the vicinity for a while, Big Yellow finally found a mark and burrowed in. After a few turns, the path ahead opened up.
A road filled with blood qi led deep into the mountains with corpses strewn beneath its feet. It was unknown how many ferocious beasts and living beings died in that battle back then.
On both sides of the blood path, ancient trees stood tall and it was dark.
Su Zimo's group of four advanced on the blood path.
After walking for about a day, Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat. As though he sensed something, he exerted strength in his legs and kicked Big Yellow's stomach.
Big Yellow understood and stopped in its tracks hurriedly!
The Ying Zhao had followed Su Zimo for many years and seemed to have realized something as well. Stopping in its tracks, it released its spirit consciousness and surveyed its surroundings warily.
Su Zimo narrowed his gaze slightly and looked at the dense forest on both sides of the blood path ahead in silence.
Before long, a rustling sound came from the forest ahead.
Immediately after, figures flashed.
In the blink of an eye, at least a few hundred people appeared from the forest on both sides of the blood path, glaring at Su Zimo's group of four with hostile expressions.
At the front of the blood path, three figures rode on menacing ferocious beasts and walked out slowly from the dark forest.
The ferocious beast looked like a ferocious tiger with gigantic feet and sharp claws. However, it was silent when it stepped on the ground!
There were two men and a woman. The person in the middle was a burly man with short hair and a beard. He was at the Level 7 Black Essence realm and wielded a gigantic axe. His upper body was half-naked and his muscles bulged like rocks, looking filled with strength!
The man and woman beside the short-haired burly man looked young.
Even so, the man and woman were both at the Level 6 Black Essence realm!
Most of the hundreds of figures in the forest were also Grade 4 or 5 Black Immortals!
