Chapter 2489
2489 Fight For the Seal
Heavenly Wolf had once told the Martial Dao Prime Body some information about the Asura race.
According to Heavenly Wolf, the Asura race was not human, demon, ghost or god. However, they were innately strong and ugly, possessing extremely powerful and ferocious combat strength.
Furthermore, their cultivation realms could not be detected and could only be judged based on their appearances.
If the Asura race cultivated to the Perfected One realm, they would have two heads and four arms!
Three Heads Six Arms was the innate divine power of the Asura race. However, it was changed and re-created by predecessors, turning into a supreme divine power that humans could cultivate.
Su Zimo asked, “How many princes are there in the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom who are prepared to fight for the seal this time round?”
“Including me, there are a total of eight princes and a princess.”
Xie Qingcheng pondered for a moment. “To be honest, Brother Su, the cultivation and status of the eight of them in the royal family is above mine.”
“How many people have you gathered?”
Su Zimo asked again.
At the mention of that, Xie Qingcheng smiled bitterly. “Less than 20.”
Su Zimo was not surprised about that.
A wise bird chooses a proper tree to nestle in. In the eyes of many Heaven Immortals of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom, Xie Qingcheng was definitely not the best choice.
He had no backing, background or potential.
Xie Qingcheng said, “Apart from the Asura race, there are also some Yakshas and various powerful demon beasts in the Asura Battlefield.”
“Yakshas?”
Su Zimo frowned slightly.
He seemed to have seen the word Yaksha before in Avici.
Xie Qingcheng explained, “It’s said that it’s a race from an ancient era that has long gone extinct. The living beings of the Yaksha race are extremely ugly, like malevolent ghosts. That’s why they’re called Yakshas.”
Su Zimo frowned slightly as a thought flashed through his mind in deep thought.
Xie Qingcheng continued, “In reality, those living beings have already died a long time ago. They merely reincarnated because of the special blood qi in the Asura Battlefield.”
“These things are irrational and only know how to attack and kill wildly.”
“Furthermore, the blood qi on the Asura Battlefield has an impact on cultivators as well. If their Dao Hearts are not strong enough, there’s a high chance that they will be invaded by the blood qi and lose their minds completely, turning into puppets controlled by the blood qi.”
“Because there are many dangers for this trip, I don’t have many people I can use.”
Actually, there were more than a thousand Heaven Immortals under Xie Qingcheng.
However, there were not many Grade 8 and 9 Heaven Immortals.
Among them, there were also some people who might not be willing to take the risk to follow him into the Asura Battlefield.
Apart from the irrational living beings like the Asuras, there were also experts of the Heaven Ranking Prediction in the Asura Battlefield.
Xie Qingcheng could not even gather the full hundred Heaven Immortals—there was no chance of him winning against the other eight princes.
“Since the goal is to snatch the seal, it might not be useful even if there are more people.”
Su Zimo consoled, “When will the Asura Battlefield open up this time round?”
“Three days later, in the capital of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom.”
“Alright, I’ll look for you in three days.”
…
Three days later.
In the living room of the inner courtyard of Heaven and Earth Academy, many cultivators were gathered. There were around a thousand of them with various attires and different auras.
The sect badge on their waists proved that these cultivators were from different sects and factions.
Almost all the thousand cultivators were Grade 9 Heaven Immortals.
Apart from some cultivators of the major immortal Dao clans and even Heaven Immortal experts from the three Immortal Kingdoms, there were also experts from the other three immortal sects.
The experts of those heaven-grade factions sat at the front of the living room proudly.
“Is Su Zimo going to come out of seclusion?”
“Fufu, do you really think that he’s truly in seclusion? That’s just an excuse!”
“In my opinion, he’s just afraid of battle.”
In the living room, many cultivators discussed fervently.
Yan Bingying led a group of disciples from the academy and sat in the middle. When she saw that, she had a headache.
In the past year, the number of cultivators who came knocking to challenge increased. In fact, there were even some who refused to leave unless Su Zimo appeared.
“Everyone, quiet down. My ranking is far beneath Senior Brother Su.”
Yan Bingying frowned slightly and declared, “If anyone wants to challenge Senior Brother Su, they can get through me first.”
A man on Yan Bingying’s left smiled. “Fellow Daoist Bing Ying, there’s no need for that. Su Zimo of the academy is the only one we want to challenge.”
The man was from Flying Immortal Sect and his Dao title was Tian Zhe.
Another Heaven Immortal of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom sneered, “Su Zimo was extremely audacious to dare to assassinate a prince in the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom. Why is he so scared that he doesn’t dare to appear now?”
“Prince Yun Ting even views him as an opponent. I don’t think he’s worthy at all!” The person who spoke was Fairy Bai Hua, from the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom.
Yan Bingying had a helpless expression.
Others might not know Su Zimo’s strength, but she had witnessed with her own eyes how he suppressed the number one of the inner sect, Fang Qingyun!
“Everyone, please return. Senior Brother Su doesn’t want to appear because he doesn’t want to fight you guys,” Yan Bingying persuaded.
Everyone in the hall was unmoved.
A disciple of the academy sent a voice transmission, “Senior Sister Yan, many of them are not even here to challenge Senior Brother Su. They’re here for personal feuds.”
“That’s not all.”
Yan Bingying shook her head gently. “There are also some people who might be after Senior Brother Su’s Jade Pure Jade Manual.”
Right then, two young Dao children passed by the entrance and glanced inside.
A green-robed Dao child asked in surprise, “You guys haven’t left yet?”
“It’s him!”
Someone pointed to the green-robed Dao child. “He’s from Su Zimo’s cave abode!”
The two children were naturally Tao Yao and Liu Ping.
“Where’s Su Zimo?”
Flying Immortal Sect’s Heaven Immortal Tian Zhe stood up and asked in a deep voice, “Since the two of you came out, Su Zimo must have come out of seclusion as well, right?!”
“That’s right.”
Liu Ping nodded and did not hide anything.
When they heard that, more than half of the cultivators in the living room stood up with fighting spirit and bright eyes.
Liu Ping shook his head quickly. “However, you guys are still a step too late. Senior brother has already left to take part in the Asura Battlefield.”
“What’s the Asura Battlefield?”
“Recently, the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom is choosing a new Prince of Spirit Cloud County. It’s said that the competing princes can bring a hundred Heaven Immortals into the Asura Battlefield. Whoever can snatch the prince’s seal will be the new Prince of Spirit Cloud County.”
“I heard that there are many Heaven Ranking experts in the Asura Battlefield this time round. It’s said that the third on the Heaven Ranking, Zong Feiyu, was invited out of seclusion by Princess Yu Yan.”
“Not only that, there are quite a few in the top ten of the Heaven Ranking!”
“Su Zimo actually dares to partake in that?”
“There’s quite a bit of commotion this time round. From what I know, the Divine Firmament Palace will even send a few Perfected Immortals to record what happens in the Asura Battlefield and update the Heaven Ranking Prediction at any time.”
“How can we see the real-time updates? Let’s see how much waves Su Zimo can even cause. Who knows, he might be suppressed the moment he enters!”
“Is there a need to ask? Heaven and Earth Academy will definitely be able to see it.”
Many cultivators turned to look at Yan Bingying and the other disciples of the academy.
Yan Bingying snorted coldly.
Those cultivators had evil intentions and were waiting to see Senior Brother Su make a fool of himself. However, she could not chase them away and said in a deep voice, “Everyone, move to the square in the inner courtyard. The Heaven Ranking Prediction there will be updated in real-time.”
