Chapter 2525
2525 Fiend Cave
After Su Zimo helped Xie Qingcheng obtain the Spirit Cloud Seal, he did not linger in the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom. Instead, he bid farewell to Xie Qingcheng and returned to Heaven and Earth Academy.
Naturally, Xie Qingcheng was the biggest winner in the battle for the seal this time round. However, he had benefited as well!
If not for the opportunity at the bottom of the Malevolent Blood Lake, it would have taken him at least a thousand years to cultivate to become a Grade 7 Heaven Immortal.
Furthermore, he would not have the chance to comprehend the peerless killing secret skill, White Tiger Corpse Collection!
After cultivating at the bottom of the Malevolent Blood Lake for a month, the Green Lotus True Body absorbed countless malevolent blood qi and the malevolent blood in the White Tiger Bone had already been exhausted.
The White Tiger Bone became a pile of bone scraps thereafter as well.
Su Zimo returned to Heaven and Earth Academy, prepared to enter seclusion once more.
If there was nothing else, he intended to cultivate until the Divine Firmament Immortal Meet and strive to advance further to become a Grade 8 Heaven Immortal!
Once he cultivated to become a Grade 8 Heaven Immortal, he was confident that he could defeat Yun Ting even without using his Green Lotus bloodline!
Su Zimo returned to his cave abode. Just as he was about to enter seclusion, he sensed a commotion from the Martial Dao Prime Body.
…
Fiend Domain.
Tianhuang Sect was located at the corner of the Fiend Domain and was remote.
However, over the years, Tianhuang Sect grew rapidly under the watch of Thunder Monarch Heavenly Wrath[1] and the five Fiend Generals. They conquered and gradually expanded outwards.
Although it was not fast, it grew steadily.
Furthermore, Thunder Monarch Heavenly Wrath and the five Fiend Generals grew increasingly famous in the Fiend Domain as well.
Of course, at the mention of Tianhuang Sect, everyone’s first thought was of the Sect Master of Tianhuang Sect, Desolate Martial!
Although Desolate Martial had not appeared all these years, the battle in the heartland spread through the entire Fiend Domain and the battle in the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain shocked the entire Heavenly World!
Because of that battle, countless cultivators joined Tianhuang Sect one after another.
This day, the Martial Dao Prime Body who was in seclusion suddenly had a thought and took out a black incomplete diagram from his storage bag.
The black incomplete diagram looked extremely ancient and was made of a special material that was as thin as paper.
The Martial Dao Prime Body had tried it before. Given his current cultivation, he could not tear the black incomplete diagram even if he released his full strength!
Not long after the Martial Dao Prime Body ascended into the Fiend Domain, he destroyed Scarlet Dark Valley. This was obtained from the Valley Master of Scarlet Dark Valley.
The Valley Master of Scarlet Dark Valley’s cultivation realm advanced by leaps and bounds and rose extremely quickly—the origin of it was this black incomplete diagram.
When the Martial Dao Prime Body first obtained the black incomplete diagram, it depicted a headless figure wielding a weapon that resembled a spear.
At that time, he merely took a casual glance and felt his mind and gaze drawn in by the figure in the black incomplete diagram.
Every single trajectory on the incomplete diagram seemed to have turned into countless runes that surged into his mind.
Immediately after, a berserk, murderous and destructive emotion rose in his heart!
At the same time, an endless stream of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi swarmed into his body which he absorbed and refined at an unimaginable speed!
Strange black patterns appeared on his skin and face in a mysterious manner.
The Dao Heart of the Martial Dao Prime Body was indestructible and unyielding—that emotion naturally could not affect him.
He calmed down quickly. However, the black patterns on his body did not disappear immediately.
The power adhered to his body, as though it wanted to take root. However, it was refined by his blood qi and vanished after he summoned the Martial Dao Furnace.
After that, the Martial Dao Prime Body did not take another look at the black incomplete diagram.
But now, he suddenly felt a commotion from the black incomplete diagram.
When he took out the incomplete diagram and took a look, he could not help but frown.
The tall figure on the black incomplete diagram had already vanished.
In its place were curved trajectories that resembled a map.
Not only that, there was another power in the black incomplete diagram that seemed to want to guide him to a certain location!
“Interesting.”
The Martial Dao Prime Body murmured softly and stood up.
After all these years of seclusion, his True Martial Dao Body had already been cultivated to greater mastery.
Now, after pondering about things, he decided that he might as well take a look since he had the chance.
The Martial Dao Prime Body left the place of seclusion and Heavenly Wolf was sprawled not far away. When he heard the commotion, he opened his eyes and stood up with a tremble.
“Are you going out?”
Heavenly Wolf was invigorated and excited.
Given Desolate Martial’s current reputation in the Fiend Domain, he felt proud to be able to carry the latter out for a walk.
“Stay in Tianhuang Sect.”
The Martial Dao Prime Body said casually and disappeared in a flash, leaving behind a bitter Heavenly Wolf.
The Martial Dao Prime Body informed the Thunder Monarch before leaving Tianhuang Sect. According to the guidance of the black incomplete diagram, he sped in the direction of the heartland of the Fiend Domain.
About 10 days later.
The Martial Dao Prime Body gradually slowed down.
All these years, he had heard some rumors along the way.
It was said that the major heaven-grade sects and factions of the Fiend Domain had moved and headed towards the Bei Yin Mountain of the Fiend Domain—it was similar to his current trajectory!
The reason why Bei Yin Mountain was the most famous mountain in the Fiend Domain was because there was a fiend tree growing on it called the Undying Tree.
It was said that the Undying Tree was immortal and indestructible, having existed for countless years.
When the Martial Dao Prime Body underwent Tribulation Transcendence, he had interacted with a few heaven-grade factions of the Fiend Domain.
Apart from those sects and factions, there was another sect with an absolute overlord status in the Fiend Domain that sent a large number of cultivators as well.
Firmament Ascension Palace!
The name of this faction was enough to tell of its ambitions.
It wanted to ride above the nine firmaments!
The reason why Firmament Ascension Palace reigned supreme in the Fiend Domain and other factions could not contend against it was mainly because Firmament Ascension Palace had once given birth to an Emperor!
“Have you heard? A gigantic Fiend Cave appeared at the foot of Bei Yin Mountain. Sinister winds gust from within and it’s almost impossible for Perfected Fiends to enter with their cultivation realms!”
“What Fiend Cave? I heard that there’s a tomb of a Fiend Emperor beneath Bei Yin Mountain!”
“It’s said that the first appearance of this Fiend Emperor’s tomb alarmed many sects and factions. I wonder how many opportunities, Dharmic treasures and secret skills are inside!”
“I heard that even the prince of Firmament Ascension Palace is mobilized, prepared to head down to check things out.”
“I heard that there seems to be a traitor in Firmament Ascension Palace. While Firmament Ascension Palace was chasing after the traitor, this Fiend Cave appeared.”
Along the way, the Martial Dao Prime Body heard many rumors and gradually had an outline of this matter.
If he was not wrong, the black incomplete diagram in his hands should be related to the Fiend Cave that appeared beneath Bei Yin Mountain!
The closer he was to Bei Yin Mountain, the more fiend cultivators there were and most of them were Perfected Fiends.
Of course, there were also an extremely small number of audacious Heaven Immortals who wanted to join the crowd and test their luck.
However, be it Perfected Fiends or Heaven Immortals, when they saw the purple-robed man with a silver mask, they revealed looks of cautiousness and made way.
Nobody dared to get close to him!
[1] It was difficult to make complete changes in the past due to many conflicting terms. Now that the story has entered a new arc and the old terms are less likely to appear, the Emperors of Tianhuang Mainland in the past will now be known as Monarchs to avoid misunderstandings of power levels in the story as we continue forward
