Chapter 2523
2523 Even Stronger Opponent
At the same time, the cultivators of the major sects and factions of the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain who were paying attention to the battle for the seal saw the changes on the Heaven Ranking Prediction.
The Divine Firmament Immortal Domain was shocked!
This battle had established Su Zimo’s status in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain as a peak Heaven Immortal!
A Grade 7 Heaven Immortal was Rank 3 on the Heaven Ranking Prediction.
Not to mention Yun Ting, there had never been anyone in history who could achieve such an accomplishment!
As for the six Perfected Immortals of Divine Firmament Palace, their high evaluation of Su Zimo caused discussions among countless cultivators for the upcoming period of time.
“To think that even Zong Feiyu would be scared off. Su Zimo has become famous overnight!”
“It’s said that Zong Feiyu can’t unleash his strength in the Asura battlefield. That’s why he was forced to retreat. He’ll definitely regain his dignity at the Divine Firmament Immortal Meet.”
“The Divine Firmament Immortal Meet has yet to begin and the Heaven Ranking Prediction alone is already so tragic. I truly can’t imagine what sort of an intense battle will break out for the final Heaven Ranking.”
“Yun Ting, Qin Gu, Su Zimo and Zong Feiyu. Hehe, the four of them alone will provide a wonderful show!”
The moment the Heaven Ranking Prediction was released, the entire Divine Firmament Immortal Domain was in an uproar.
Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom, library.
Yun Zhu and Yun Ting were also paying attention to the battle for the seal.
Unlike the clamor of the outside world…
The room in the library was silent.
After reading the Heaven Ranking Prediction, Yun Zhu smiled gently and picked up an ancient book at the side to browse through.
To her surprise, Yun Ting suddenly turned silent and did not say anything for a long time.
Yun Zhu was extremely surprised.
Yun Ting was incomparably proud. Given her understanding of her younger brother, he should have revealed disdain when he saw the Heaven Ranking Prediction. How could he be so calm after reading such bold statements?
“What’s wrong?”
Yun Zhu asked gently.
“He’s very strong.”
Yun Ting said slowly, “Sister, you’re right. If our cultivation realms were the same, I might not be a match for him.”
The strange look in Yun Zhu’s eyes intensified.
Up till this point of his younger brother’s cultivation, he had been invincible. Coupled with his pride, although he lost once in the Emperor’s Tomb, he had never bowed down.
But now, Yun Ting would say something like that!
It was clear that the power that Su Zimo displayed in the battle for the seal had already made Yun Ting feel immense pressure!
A look of relief flashed through Yun Zhu’s eyes.
At that moment, she had a feeling that Yun Ting had matured and truly grown.
This momentary change in mental state might not have increased Yun Ting’s combat strength much.
However, it would be of great use to his future cultivation!
A good opponent could indeed allow Yun Ting to grow faster and have an even stronger motivation to break through himself!
Yun Ting bowed and prepared to leave.
“Where are you going?”
Yun Zhu asked.
“There’s still a thousand years left. Although I’m at the Grade 9 Heaven Immortal realm, I can’t be negligent!”
Yun Ting said in a deep voice, “I want to continue advancing and temper my Sword Dao. That’s the only way I can defeat Su Zimo at the Divine Firmament Immortal Meet!”
“Go on.”
Yun Zhu nodded with a smile.
After Yun Ting left, Yun Zhu seemed to be in deep thought. With a smile on her face, she murmured, “Interesting. Zimo, even you might not have expected that you might force out an even stronger opponent due to your ranking on the Heaven Ranking Prediction!”
…
Flying Immortal Sect.
Green mountains, clear waters, waterfalls, lush greenery and cranes soaring—the scenery was like a painting.
In the middle of the lake, there was a pavilion where a woman in plain blue palace robes sat. She had her hair tied into a bun and her skin was fair, beautiful and flawless. However, she had a cold expression.
A fragrance wafted from the side and an ancient zither was placed in front of the table. The woman in palace robes strummed the strings gently with her fingers and the sound of the zither lingered.
The sound of the zither contained a hint of anger and killing intent. It was hurried and chaotic.
“Pfft!”
The two maidservants guarding behind the woman in palace robes could not withstand it and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood with pale faces.
The two maidservants were also Heaven Immortals. However, at that moment, they had terrified expressions as they knelt on the ground hurriedly and kowtowed. “Princess, please forgive us!”
This woman in palace robes was a princess of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom, one of the four great fairies, Zither Immortal Meng Yao!
Meng Yao’s fingers paused and the sound of the zither gradually dissipated.
She closed her eyes for a long time before opening them and saying indifferently, “Rise. It’s not your fault. I was just a little vexed.”
“Is it because of Su Zimo?”
A maidservant probed.
Meng Yao said, “To think that this lad’s life is so tough that even Zong Feiyu was defeated.”
Right then, a maidservant seemed to have sensed something and took out a messenger talisman. “Princess, Heaven Immortal Luo Yang of Imperial Wind Temple requests an audience.”
“Luo Yang?”
Meng Yao frowned slightly. “What is he doing here?”
Another maidservant said, “Notwithstanding the fact that Heaven Immortal Luo Yang has been removed from the Heaven Ranking Prediction, even if he’s still Rank 8, he’s not qualified to meet our princess!”
The first maidservant said, “From the information here, he wants to report to you a secret about Su Zimo, princess.”
“Oh?”
Meng Yao’s expression changed as she pondered for a moment before saying, “Let him come over.”
Before long, a maidservant brought an old cultivator with white hair to the pavilion.
Meng Yao swept her gaze across him.
If she had not seen it personally, it would be difficult to imagine that Heaven Immortal Luo Yang, who was initially in his prime, woudl end up in such a state.
“Greetings, Fairy Meng Yao.”
Heaven Immortal Luo Yang bowed.
“Speak.”
Meng Yao said indifferently, “I hope that the secret you mentioned can interest me. Otherwise…”
She did not continue but her tone was cold.
Imperial Wind Temple would not say anything even if she killed this Heaven Immortal who was now in his twilight years.
Heaven Immortal Luo Yang shuddered in fear and said uneasily, “Back on the Dragon Abyss Star, I had the affinity of meeting you once. I wonder if you remember that, Fairy Meng Yao?”
“Dragon Abyss Star…”
Meng Yao murmured softly and recalled carefully. “Indeed, I’ve met you before. However, what has this got to do with Su Zimo?”
Heaven Immortal Luo Yang said in a deep voice, “Fairy Meng Yao, you must have forgotten. Actually, Su Zimo was also present in the abyss of the Dragon Abyss Star!”
“However, at that time, Su Zimo was only a mere Black Immortal.”
“Oh?”
The Zither Immortal frowned slightly.
She could not even remember Heaven Immortal Luo Yang, let alone a Black Immortal.
“Continue.”
Meng Yao said.
Heaven Immortal Luo Yang was invigorated. “At that time, there were three Exalted Immortals present. You, Sword Immortal Yue Hua and Perfected Immortal Wu Feng. The three of you were there to fight for a Pure Yang Spirit Treasure.”
“However, later on, the Pure Yang Spirit Treasure suddenly disappeared while a gigantic divine dragon appeared out of nowhere!”
At the mention of that, Meng Yao remembered it clearly.
At that time, the three of them Perfected Immortals fought against the divine dragon and were defeated. Even she was injured.
