2089 Eye of the Storm

"Even for paragons of our Astral World, it's extremely difficult for them to cultivate to Level 7 of the Exalted Mystic Spirit Big Dipper True Sutra,"

The remnant consciousness said, "However, with a treasure like the Auspicious Jade, there's a chance you can cultivate this true sutra to its peak."

"At that time, condensing a complete Mystic Spirit Big Dipper Diagram will trigger the power of all seven star regions and it will be enough to increase your combat strength by seven times, allowing you to look down on everyone of the same cultivation realm!"

As time passed by, the starlight that the Green Lotus True Body could absorb was gradually saturated and reached its limits.

The aura of the remnant consciousness became weaker and could dissipate at any moment.

"Unfortunately, something happened to you just now and there's a problem with your Dao Heart,"

The remnant consciousness continued, "Otherwise, absorbing the starlight of two star regions will be enough to raise your cultivation to the peak of a Grade 6 Earth Immortal!"

At that moment, the inheritance was about to end. However, Su Zimo's cultivation realm was still at Grade 5 Earth Immortal and he showed no signs of breaking through.

For cultivators, damage to their Dao Heart was extremely serious.

If they could not repair it, it would be difficult for their cultivation to advance in the future!

"Wan'er, I'm coming to see you,"

The remnant consciousness murmured and dissipated silently.

The final trace of this Astral World expert in the upper world vanished as well.

The starlight in the skies dissipated together and the night skies faded. Day returned to the world and the sun shone brightly. The stars that filled the skies earlier on seemed like an illusion.

At that moment, countless gazes landed on Su Zimo.

Jealousy, greed, scheming, envy and killing intent…

Su Zimo was indifferent to everything.

"Congratulations on obtaining Astral Sect's inheritance, Fellow Daoist!"

Zuo Zhuxuan was the first to step forward with cupped fists and a smile.

Shangguan Qian turned around as well and nodded to Su Zimo. "Congratulations."

Su Zimo still did not react and looked into the distance in a daze.

Zuo Zhuxuan was expressionless as he sent a voice transmission with his spirit consciousness, "Fellow Daoist Mo Ling, you're at the eye of the storm right now and you're in an extremely dangerous situation! There are many cultivators in Astral Sect and there will definitely be those with evil intentions."

"Come to my side now. I'll tear a teleportation talisman and take you back to the Zuo family directly. That way, you'll be safe."

On the surface, Zuo Zhuxuan was protecting Su Zimo.

However, his thoughts were simple.

As long as they were in the Zuo family, this person's life and death would be under his control!

In Zuo Zhuxuan's eyes, Su Zimo was now a huge treasure.

Apart from the inheritance of Astral Sect, there was also a treasure that could raise one's cultivation rapidly!

Su Zimo did not seem to have heard anything and had no reaction.

The darkness in Zuo Zhuxuan's eyes disappeared in a flash as he sent another voice transmission, "Fellow Daoist, don't worry. There's countless good wine hidden in my house as well. It's enough for you to drink to your heart's content!"

Su Zimo remained silent and did not even look at Zuo Zhuxuan.

Zuo Zhuxuan was enraged but he did not reveal it and continued smiling.

"Mo Ling, you had better know your place!"

Zuo Zhuxuan's tone turned cold as he threatened with a voice transmission, "You're only a Grade 5 Earth Immortal. I can kill you with a flip of my hand!"

Su Zimo still had no reaction.

Zuo Zhuxuan's expression gradually darkened.

Right then, a streak of light sped over from outside Astral Sect at an astonishing speed and arrived before them in the blink of an eye.

Everyone focused their gazes—the streak of light was an immortal boat with three figures standing on it.

The three figures wore Black Gold Feather Armor and hung the Execution Saber on their waists. With cold expressions, they leaped down from the immortal boat and arrived on Main Peak Alkaid.

Earth Execution Guards!

Their leader was a Grade 9 Earth Immortal.

The two people behind him were also Grade 8 Earth Immortals.

Those who could join the Earth Execution Guards were top-tier Earth Immortal experts and their cultivation realms were at least at Grade 7!

"Greetings, Commander Liu,"

Astral Sect's Sect Master, Astral Rain, seemed to know this person and hurried forward, greeting with cupped fists.

Although he was a Grade 9 Heaven Immortal and the master of a sect, he had to be respectful when he saw the Execution Guards of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom.

Even if he was an entire major cultivation realm above the three of them, he would still have to bow down at this moment!

The entire world belonged to the king.

The Execution Guards represented the royal family of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom.

In the territory of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom, even Heaven Immortals did not dare to offend the Execution Guards.

Furthermore, Astral Sect was only a black-grade sect.

"What happened earlier on?"

The leader of the Execution Guards, Commander Liu, surveyed his surroundings and asked coldly.

After hesitating for a moment, Astral Rain smiled. "It's nothing much. A cultivator of our sect triggered a universal phenomenon with his cultivation. To think that it would alarm the three of you."

Astral Rain knew in his heart that Commander Liu was extremely greedy.

If he mentioned the appearance of Astral Sect's cultivation technique and the fact that Mo Ling obtained it, Commander Liu would definitely force Mo Ling to hand it over.

If Mo Ling had handed it over obediently, he might be able to survive.

Otherwise, he would most likely be doomed.

Astral Rain's reply was actually to protect Mo Ling.

"Everyone, disperse!"

Astral Rain looked around and said in a deep voice, "Head back and cultivate. Don't run out the moment there's any activity. How can you cultivate the Great Dao with such an impetuous nature?"

The main reason why Astral Rain said that was to remind Su Zimo to hurry back to his cave abode and hide from the limelight.

"Mmm? Don't move first!"

Commander Liu shifted his gaze and sneered. He glared at Astral Rain and asked slowly, "Who cultivated what cultivation technique to cause such a huge commotion?"

As a commander of the Earth Execution Guards, he was naturally not so easy to fool.

It was clear that the Sect Master of Astral Sect was holding back in his words.

If it was just an ordinary cultivation, would all the cultivators of Astral Sect appear?

Furthermore, the starlight revealed earlier on was way too blinding and he could not help but recall the long-standing legend of Astral Sect.

Astral Rain smiled. "He's just a Grade 5 Earth Immortal, a nobody."

"Sect Master, just tell him the truth,"

Right then, a strange voice sounded from the side.

"Earlier on, it was clearly the birth of Astral Sect's inheritance that caused the universal phenomenon because this person obtained it!"

Xie Tianfeng could tell what Commander Liu was up to as well. He stood out and pointed at Su Zimo on the green stone, shouting.

He did not have any deep feud with Su Zimo either.

However, at the thought that this drunkard had obtained the inheritance of Astral Sect and had a high chance of surpassing him in the future, Xie Tianfeng felt a surge of jealousy.

Since he could not get it, he would destroy it!

Shangguan Qian's expression changed and she frowned slightly.

Xie Tianfeng was trying to kill with a borrowed knife and it was way too vicious—this was equivalent to pushing Su Zimo into a pit of fire!

Zuo Zhuxuan cursed internally as well.

To begin with, there was more than one person targeting Mo Ling's inheritance.

Now, an Execution Guard was added to the pool.

No matter how powerful the Zuo family was, they were only in Solar Luna County and could not afford to offend the Execution Guards!

"The inheritance of Astral Sect!"

Commander Liu's eyes lit up and he was secretly delighted.

Initially, he had received orders from Princess Meng Yao to hunt down a man and woman.

When he passed by this place, he saw the phenomenon of stars in daylight and changed his path at the last minute, descending on Astral Sect to ask about it.

To think that there would be such a huge gain!
