Chapter 2447
2447 Old Friends
At the mention of Feng Ziyi, Su Zimo could not help but think of someone else.
Prince Yuan Zuo!
Back then, it was because Prince Yuan Zuo held the Hunting Meet that he got to know Feng Ziyi and eventually saved Feng Cantian.
A thousand years ago, near Great Tie Wei Mountain, Prince Yuan Zuo joined forces with Flying Immortal Sect’s Heaven Immortal Gui Yuan, Pang Yi of the Pang Clan, Xie Tianhong of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom, Tang Peng of the academy and the others to ambush and kill him. In the end, they were defeated by the four Sacred Souls awakened from the Hell Suppression Tripod and suffered immense losses.
Pang Yi, Heaven Immortal Gui Yuan, Tang Peng and the others were all dead!
Xie Tianhong, Perfected Immortal Jing Yue and Perfected Immortal Imperial Dragon were buried in Avici as well. Only Prince Yuan Zuo noticed that the situation was bad and escaped back to the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom.
All these years, there had been no news of Prince Yuan Zuo, as though he had vanished without a trace.
Su Zimo had joined Heaven and Earth Academy and was now backed by one of the four immortal sects. Even Zither Immortal Meng Yao did not have much chance to attack and Prince Yuan Zuo could only give up.
“If I were to search for Perfected Immortal Burial Night and Feng Ziyi alone, it would be akin to searching for a needle in a haystack. I’ve got to use the academy’s strength.”
At that thought, Su Zimo was prepared to head to the inner sect and ask Yang Ruoxu about what to do.
Right then, an auspicious cloud sped over not far away with three figures standing on it.
Su Zimo looked up and could not help but smile.
Yang Ruoxu and Princess Scarlet Rainbow held hands and walked together.
Beside them stood a child around nine years old. He wore a green robe and had a tender face. He looked very cute but his eyes were mature—it was Liu Ping.
The three of them could be considered as Su Zimo’s only acquaintances in Heaven and Earth Academy. Since Yang Ruoxu was among them, it saved him the trouble of making another trip.
“Brother Su, how have you been?”
Before he arrived, Yang Ruoxu said loudly with a smile as he stood on the auspicious cloud.
Princess Scarlet Rainbow and Liu Ping beckoned and greeted him as well.
Su Zimo smiled. “I’ve obtained the legacy of the Sect Master and divined with my fingers to know that old friends are coming to visit today. As such, I came out in advance to welcome them.”
“Hahahaha!”
Yang Ruoxu and the other two burst into laughter.
In the blink of an eye, the three of them descended. Su Zimo brought the three of them back to the cave abode and sat down one after another.
It had been a thousand years since the four of them last met.
Yang Ruoxu said, “Over the years, there have been a few times when I wanted to look for you. However, I saw that you were in seclusion and did not disturb you.”
“To think that you would run to the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain after coming out of seclusion this time round and even encounter an unprecedented battle.”
Su Zimo shook his head gently and smiled bitterly. “It was a freak coincidence.”
“Senior Brother, y-you…”
As though he had discovered something, Liu Ping pointed at Su Zimo with widened eyes. “You’ve already cultivated to become a Grade 5 Heaven Immortal?”
“Mmm?”
Yang Ruoxu swept his spirit consciousness and detected Su Zimo’s cultivation realm.
Indeed!
“How strong!”
Yang Ruoxu could not help but exclaim.
Princess Scarlet Rainbow was shocked as well.
Back at the 10,000 Year Meet, the three of them entered the Heaven Essence realm at almost the same time and joined the inner sect.
Over the years, Princess Scarlet Rainbow and Yang Ruoxu spent a lot of time together. She was a little lazy in her cultivation and had just entered the Level 2 Heaven Essence realm.
After Liu Ping’s assimilation, he underwent a complete transformation and gained extraordinary potential. He cultivated wholeheartedly but was only at the peak of the Level 2 Heaven Essence realm right now!
However, Su Zimo had already cultivated to become a Grade 5 Heaven Immortal!
It had only been slightly more than 2,000 years since the 10,000 Year Meet.
That cultivation speed had already surpassed common sense and the understanding of ordinary people!
“Senior Brother Su, how did you cultivate?”
Princess Scarlet Rainbow could not help but ask.
Yang Ruoxu said, “Cultivating in seclusion in the Heaven Essence realm is not enough. There are too many bottlenecks. In order to advance, you have to head out often to train.”
“Exactly.”
Su Zimo was in absolute agreement with that point.
The reason why he could cultivate to become a Grade 5 Heaven Immortal in 2,000 years was mainly because of the trip to Avici a thousand years ago and this trip to the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain recently.
He had benefited immensely from the two expeditions and it was not only in terms of his cultivation realm that had advanced by leaps and bounds.
Right then, Tao Yao walked over from the depths of the cave abode with a pot of freshly brewed tea. He came before the four of them and filled their cups one after another.
In the battle of Langfeng City, the Martial Dao Prime Body went on a massacre and the battlefield was in chaos. No one noticed that Su Zimo had left with Tao Yao.
Therefore, he did not ask Tao Yao to hide either.
“Eh?”
Princess Scarlet Rainbow looked at the Dao child with clear eyes and makeup before her and asked in surprise, “Senior Brother Su, you’re finally starting to recruit immortal servants?”
All three of them knew that there had never been outsiders in Su Zimo’s cave abode.
Previously, Liu Ping even took the initiative to want to come over to Su Zimo’s cave abode to help with chores but the latter did not agree.
Now that a Dao child had appeared, the three of them were surprised.
The strange thing was that the Dao child’s aura was extremely pure and clean, untainted by the mortal world.
Princess Scarlet Rainbow could not help but reach out and pinch Tao Yao’s cheek gently.
Tao Yao did not dodge and merely smiled gently.
Although he did not know the three people before him, when he saw Su Zimo welcome them into the cave abode, he knew that they definitely had a good relationship with the latter.
Naturally, he expressed goodwill towards the three of them as well.
“Senior Brother Su, where did you find this immortal servant? He’s so obedient.”
Princess Scarlet Rainbow could not help but praise. She wished that she could hold Tao Yao’s tender face in her hands and kiss it a few times.
Tao Yao had never killed anyone and was not tainted by karma or blood. Any living being that saw him would not be able to help but have a good impression of him.
“He’s not an immortal servant. He’s an old friend of mine from the lower worlds. Right now, he’s a Dao child by my side called Tao Yao.”
Su Zimo shook his head gently and did not explain further. Instead, he introduced Yang Ruoxu and the other two to Tao Yao.
Tao Yao bowed respectfully to Yang Ruoxu and the other two.
Although that action seemed nonchalant and indifferent, it was far from simple!
What were the statuses of Yang Ruoxu and the other two?
They were inner sect disciples and legacy disciples of the academy!
If he was just an ordinary immortal servant, there was no need for Su Zimo to introduce Tao Yao to the three of them.
This action meant that the Dao child had an extremely important status in Su Zimo’s heart!
Since Yang Ruoxu and the other two could think of that, they did not dare to delay and stood up hurriedly to return the greeting.
Tao Yao smiled gently and retreated.
Liu Ping rolled his eyes and could not help but bring up the past. “Senior Brother Su, you’ve already made an exception to recruit people. I can move over as well and be a Dao child by your side.”
Actually, in Liu Ping’s heart, Su Zimo was not merely a senior brother of the same sect.
Back in the Nine Heavens of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom, if not for Su Zimo’s help, he would have died long ago.
Later on, not only did he survive, he even underwent a complete transformation and obtained an unimaginable opportunity!
In his heart, Su Zimo was more like a benefactor.
That was the reason why he wanted to move over time and again to help Su Zimo with trivial matters.
In truth, at that moment, Liu Ping did not understand it yet—the fact that he had such inclinations was not merely because Su Zimo was his benefactor.
More than that, Su Zimo was the one and only Creation Green Lotus!
All the flora in the world would inevitably want to converge towards the vicinity of the Creation Green Lotus!
