2078 Dragon Race
Arriving at Cangyu City, Su Zimo headed straight for the teleportation formation.
There were still wanted notices of him on the city walls of the ancient city. However, after more than a thousand years, the security had gradually relaxed.
Su Zimo observed the city for half a day. There were no guards that would come forth and demand cultivators to reveal their Essence Spirits before they could enter the teleportation formation.
That way, there would not be any loopholes with his Essence Spirit wielding the Trinity Auspicious Jade.
Su Zimo swaggered into the teleportation formation and was teleported to the edge of Solar Luna County's territory, the city closest to the Dragon Abyss Star, Peerless City.
The longer the teleportation distance, the more Essence Spirit Stones to be paid.
The black-robed man had some Essence Spirit Stones in his storage bag that were enough for him to teleport.
After arriving at Peerless City, Su Zimo did not leave the city and continued teleporting to the Dragon Abyss Star.
Dragon Abyss City had not changed much in more than 2,000 years.
When Su Zimo reentered the ancient city, he could not help but feel emotional.
Back when he left Dragon Abyss City, he was only a Grade 7 Black Immortal.
When he returned this time round, his cultivation was already at Grade 4 Earth Immortal!
The moment Su Zimo walked out of the teleportation formation, he sensed that something was different.
The difference came from the gazes of many cultivators in the city.
Every cultivator looked at him with reverence.
Even the guard guarding the teleportation formation bowed slightly with a respectful expression when he saw Su Zimo appear.
The guard guarding the teleportation formation was only a Grade 6 Black Immortal.
"Who is the City Lord of this city?"
Su Zimo looked askance at the guard at the side and asked in a seemingly casual manner.
"Exalted Immortal, the current City Lord of Dragon Abyss City is Chu Ming,"
The guard replied.
Su Zimo raised his brow slightly and asked again, "I remember that the previous City Lord's surname seemed to be Xu."
"Exalted Immortal, you're referring to Xu Shi, right?"
The guard said, "After Xu Shi entered the Earth Immortal realm, he left Dragon Abyss City with his family. He should have headed to Divine Firmament Mainland to join the immortal sects."
Su Zimo nodded slightly.
Back when he bid farewell to Xu Shi, the latter had indeed said that he had such plans.
"Exalted Immortal, you're also here for the abyss here, right?"
The guard asked.
"Mmm?"
Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat as he asked, "Why? Other cultivators went to that abyss?"
The person said, "Exalted Immortal, you don't know. Ever since the unforeseen event on the Dragon Abyss Star back then, every once in a while, some Exalted Immortals of the Divine Firmament Mainland would descend here to explore."
"It's said that there's some treasure hidden there. However, I've never heard of anyone obtaining it after all these years."
Su Zimo nodded. "Has anyone been to the Dragon Abyss Star recently?"
"There are two sects, Black Ice Valley and Gui Yuan Sect. I heard that they are both black-grade sects," That person replied.
"What's the cultivation of the cultivators of these sects?"
Su Zimo asked again.
"They should be Earth Immortals. However, I don't know their exact cultivation realms,"
The guard smiled. "I'm a major cultivation realm apart from these Exalted Immortals. I can't tell at all."
Su Zimo nodded and took out a jade bottle from his storage bag, tossing it to the guard. "Keep it. Pretend that you've never seen me before."
The guard opened the jade bottle and was delighted when he saw that there were 10,000 Minor Essence Condensation Pills inside.
"Exalted Immortal, don't worry,"
The guard put away the jade bottle happily.
There were still many Minor Essence Condensation Pills in Su Zimo's storage bag.
After cultivating to the Earth Immortal realm, even if he consumed the Minor Essence Condensation Pills, the effects would be almost negligible for him.
He gave out 10,000 casually without any heartache.
Su Zimo leaped up and left Dragon Abyss City, heading straight for the abyss.
A day later.
Su Zimo's speed gradually slowed down and at the end of his vision, he could see a gigantic pitch-black crack that almost split the Dragon Abyss Star into two!
Before he arrived, Su Zimo heard an intense fight.
There was even a dragon roar mixed in those sounds!
Su Zimo frowned slightly and headed towards the abyss.
Before long, he arrived above the abyss and descended slowly.
At the bottom of the abyss, above the corpses, 13 figures could be seen intertwining continuously, summoning many Dharmic treasures and releasing various divine powers and immortal arts to trap a white-robed girl.
The 13 figures were all Earth Immortals.
The two Grade 5 Earth Immortals with the highest cultivation realms wore different sect badges on their waists—it was clear they were from different sects.
Among the other 11 Earth Immortals, the weakest were Grade 2 Earth Immortals—there were a total of two of them.
There were six Grade 3 Earth Immortals and three Grade 4 Earth Immortals.
However, the girl trapped in the middle was only at the Level 1 Earth Essence realm!
Su Zimo swept his gaze.
There were eight cultivators lying on the ground. It was clear that they had just died and the blood that flowed from their wounds was still warm.
These fallen cultivators died in tragic states.
They were either torn into two by a tremendous force, their entire heads were bitten off or their intestines were ruptured…
Without witnessing it personally, it would be difficult to imagine that those cultivators died in the hands of the girl.
There was only a single reason why the white-robed girl was able to kill eight cultivators despite being surrounded by so many Earth Immortals alongside a cultivation realm disparity.
She was not human!
Su Zimo sensed a familiar bloodline aura from the white-robed girl.
The bloodline of the Dragon race!
"Roar!"
Right then, another wound appeared on the white-robed girl's body. In her anger, she opened her mouth slightly and let out a dragon roar.
However, the white-robed girl was covered in injuries and the dragon roar was clearly weak.
Su Zimo nodded to himself.
The difference in cultivation realm between the white-robed girl and the Earth Immortals surrounding her was four levels.
It was truly not easy for her to last till now with such a huge difference.
Right now, Su Zimo was a Grade 4 Earth Immortal. Given his combat strength, it was hard to tell who would win if he was up against a Grade 8 Earth Immortal with a difference of four levels.
Of course, he had many methods.
Victory was often determined instantly in a life and death battle.
Under normal circumstances, dragons could only unleash their combat strength to its limits when they reverted to their true forms.
However, the white-robed girl did not transform into her dragon form.
Each time she wanted to activate her bloodline, a beam of light would descend onto her body.
The moment her figure began to transform, she would revert to her human form rapidly after being struck by the beam of light.
"Demon Revealing Mirrors,"
Su Zimo looked at the two ancient mirrors in midair.
Both ancient mirrors were Dharmic treasures of the two Grade 5 Earth Immortals!
Among the 13 Earth Immortals surrounding her, the two Grade 5 Earth Immortals blocked most of the white-robed girl's power.
If not for the two Grade 5 Earth Immortals, the remaining 11 Earth Immortals might not have been able to suppress the white-robed girl even though their cultivation realms surpassed hers.
"Haha!"
A Grade 5 Earth Immortal smiled. "I'm truly lucky today. I actually encountered a young dragon here on a sect mission! I'm going to capture it alive and tame it as my spirit beast!"
