Chapter 2989: Way Out
Translator: Legge
The Martial Dao Prime Body turned to look at Tang Kong and Hell Lord Bitter Springs and nodded slightly. “Thank you for this.”
He could naturally tell that without Hell Lord Bitter Springs and Tang Kong’s desperate protection, Consort Yu would not have been able to survive until now.
Tang Kong smiled. “Master, you speak too highly of us. It’s our responsibility.” Hell Lord Bitter Springs smiled as well. “I don’t have much time left. Now that I’ve seen Master return and guard Hell, I can leave in peace.”
The Martial Dao Prime Body patted Hell Lord Bitter Springs’ arm gently and said indifferently, “You won’t die with me around.”
“Huh?”
Hell Lord Bitter Springs was slightly stunned and did not understand what the Martial Dao Prime Body meant. He said hesitantly, “I’m afraid I only have a few thousand years left to live…”
Grotto-heaven Kings had a lifespan of a million years.
Although quasi-Emperor experts had not truly entered the Emperor realm, their lifespans had increased greatly and could reach two to three million ‘ years.
While thousands of years seemed long, it was only a blink of an eye for quasi-Emperors with a lifespan of three million years.
The Martial Dao Prime Body said, “Don’t worry, thousands of years are enough.”
The Martial Dao Prime Body did not say it explicitly.
He indeed had a way to give Hell Lord Bitter Springs and the others an opportunity. However, the time was not right yet.
When Hell Lord Bitter Springs saw that the Martial Dao Prime Body’s tone was firm, as though he was not joking with him, he could not help but let his imagination run wild.
He only had a few thousand years of lifespan left. If he did not want to die, there was only a single possibility-he had to enter the Emperor realm!
He could only survive after entering the Emperor realm and his lifespan increased exponentially.
However, the world of the Hell World was shattered and its laws were incomplete. He had been stuck as a quasi-Emperor for two million years and could not advance to the Emperor realm at all.
Could Master truly allow him to advance to the Emperor realm and become a true Emperor?
At that thought, Hell Lord Bitter Springs’ heart that had been dead for many years stirred once more.
The Martial Dao Prime Body looked at Hell Lord Bitter Springs and Tang Kong and said in a deep voice, “I’m prepared to enter seclusion in the Hell World for a period of time. I’ll leave this place to you guys for the time being.”
Hell Lord Bitter Springs and Tang Kong bowed in agreement.
Emperor Azure Flame declared that he would make a comeback. Die Yue estimated that it would probably be a few hundred years away and time was tight.
The Martial Dao Prime Body exchanged a few words with Consort Yu before heading to the Frost Springs of the other seven Hells to cultivate the remaining seven sections of the Nine Springs Hell Sutra and cultivate in seclusion.
Flower World, Green Lotus Star.
For the past ten years, the Martial Dao Prime Body and Die Yue discussed the Dao and interacted in the Great Wilderness. The Green Lotus True Body also benefited greatly from his seclusion here.
However, after the Martial Dao Prime Body entered Hell, the connection between the two true bodies was severed once more.
Su Zimo gradually woke up from his cave abode in seclusion.
After calling Beiming Xue and Carefree to his side, Su Zimo said, “Get ready. I’ll bring you guys out of this place and return to the Sword World.”
Naturally, Beiming Xue had no objections and nodded with a calm expression. However, Carefree had a troubled expression at the side. He stammered and hesitated.
“Why? What’s the matter?”
Su Zimo looked at Carefree in surprise and asked.
Beiming Xue smiled gently at the side. “Master, let’s go back together and let
Carefree stay here to accompany his dear Sister Mu T ian –
When Carefree heard that, his face flushed red.Novel Fire - novelfire.net
Carefree glared at Beiming Xue angrily without saying anything, as though he was silently protesting that Beiming Xue had exposed his thoughts.
“Huh?”
Su Zimo was stunned. When he saw Carefree’s embarrassed expression, he knew that Beiming Xue was not lying.
All these years, he had been in seclusion most of the time and did not pay much attention to this clueless disciple. To think that Carefree and Mu Lian would develop so rapidly.
Su Zimo smiled and asked, “I remember that before I went into seclusion, didn’t the two of you spend all day together discussing the Dao and sparring?” Beiming Xue pouted slightly. “He was only by my side for the first year and he was always going on about that senior sister. For the next few years, it was difficult for me to even see him once.”
“That’s not the case!”
Carefree pouted with an awkward expression.
Mu Lian was a chivalrous and upright person. If Carefree could become Dao Companions with her, Su Zimo would naturally be happy for him.
However, he had another worry in his heart.
That was also the reason why he wanted to leave the Flower World.
Su Zimo pondered for a moment. “Do you remember the Nether Calamity Poison that Immortal Queen You Lan mentioned when she visited the Sword World?”
Beiming Xue nodded.
Su Zimo said, “At that time, Immortal Queen You Lan said that a large number of water sources in the Flower World were tainted by the Nether Calamity Poison but no one noticed it. At that time, I suspected that this Nether Calamity Poison might have been spread by someone from within the Flower World.”
“Furthermore, this person’s status in the Flower World might not be low.”
It was precisely because of that suspicion that after arriving at the Flower World, Su Zimo instructed Immortal Queen You Lan to hide the situation of the three of them to prevent them from being targeted by this poison user.
“Why would the people of the Flower World want to harm their own clansmen?”
Carefree asked in confusion.
Su Zimo shook his head in silence.
That was only his guess and there was indeed no evidence.
Su Zimo said, “No matter what, Carefree, if you want to stay on Green Lotus
Star, you have to be careful everywhere. Not only do you have to hide your bloodline, you have to pay attention to some dangers hidden in the dark.”
Carefree nodded.
Su Zimo pondered for a moment and left a messenger talisman for Carefree. “If you sense that something is amiss, try to escape as soon as possible. If you really can’t escape, tear this messenger talisman apart and I’ll naturally know.” “Thank you, Master.”
Carefree knelt on the ground hurriedly and bowed to Su Zimo with reddened eyes.
“Get up.”
Su Zimo smiled and flicked his sleeve gently, lifting Carefree up.
Thereafter, he reorganized himself and brought Beiming Xue to bid farewell to Immortal Queen You Lan before steering the immortal boat towards the Sword World.
Although Su Zimo had yet to advance to the Grotto-heaven realm, he could break through the void and enter the spatial tunnel with the help of the phantom of the Yin Yang Grotto-heaven.
On the way back.
Su Zimo said, “I should be leaving the Sword World when I return this time round.”
“Leaving the Sword World?”
Beiming Xue looked at Su Zimo in confusion.
She could tell that Su Zimo might not be talking about leaving purely for a walk.
Su Zimo nodded. “Initially, when Emperor Iron Crown invited me to join the
Sword World, I told him that I would leave one day.”
Of course, this was not a spur-of-the-moment idea.
A long time ago, Su Zimo had thought of establishing a faction so that all living
beings of the lower worlds could cultivate equally.
Tianhuang Sect was established under that concept.
However, as time passed, chaos appeared in Tianhuang Mainland. Emperor Bo Xun entered the Pure Land of Bliss, Fiend Emperor Apocalypse revived and Immortal Emperor Dawn Twilight presided over the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain…
Every sign indicated that the Heavenly World was no longer a good place.
Tianhuang Sect would definitely retreat.
Furthermore, Immortal Emperor Dawn Twilight had once said something meaningful to him in the Emperor’s Tomb, telling him to escape as soon as possible to avoid being involved in a catastrophe.
Once the catastrophe that swept through the medium chiliocosm broke out, apart from the Martial Dao Prime Body, none of his old friends in Tianhuang Mainland, including his Green Lotus True Body, could defend against it!
Su Zimo had to leave a way out for these old friends of Tianhuang Mainland..
