Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 3308: Answer

Apart from obtaining the Merits Gold Lotus, his greatest gain from this trip to the Ancestral Fire Sanctuary was the news of Die Yue.

Su Zimo could not wait to look for Die Yue.

However, he was also clear about the circumstances.

Given his current situation, heading to Mount Xuan Pin in the Southwest Region to look for Die Yue might bring an unpredictable calamity to her!

At the very least, he had to survive the upcoming dangers before he could make a move.

If he did not intend to join the Ancestral Fire Sanctuary, it was not a solution to hide here for a long time.

Perhaps he had to return to the Southeast Region.

On the one hand, the Chaos Sanctuary was there to begin with.

On the other hand, according to his lineage memories, the four lotus seeds fell in that direction as well.

Su Zimo willed with his spirit consciousness and he arrived in the Heaven and Earth Creation Diagram.

Many cultivators inside sensed something and appeared one after another.

“Master, your Essence Spirit has already entered the Dao Hegemony realm?”

Paramount Supremacy Lin Meng probed Su Zimo’s Essence Spirit realm and asked hurriedly.

The other Dao Supremacy experts were surprised as well.

This meant that after more than six billion years, they could finally leave the Heaven and Earth Creation Diagram and return to the major chiliocosm!

Su Zimo nodded. “I’m currently in the Ancestral Fire Sanctuary and it’s inappropriate to let all of you appear now.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine!”

Paramount Supremacy Lin Meng burst into laughter.

However, some of the Dao Supremacies present seemed displeased.

Everyone had been trapped in the Heaven and Earth Creation Diagram for many years and yearned to leave. However, from Su Zimo’s tone, it seemed like he had no precise deadline to give them.

“There might be some trouble later on.”

Su Zimo briefly recounted how he fought against the five Saint race beings in the Ancestral Fire Sanctuary. As for the Merits Gold Lotus, he did not mention it.

Su Zimo said, “After leaving this place, there’s a high chance that the experts of the four Sanctuaries will come knocking.”

When they heard that Su Zimo had offended the four Sanctuaries, the Dao Supremacies present frowned with worried expressions.

Paramount Supremacy Lin Meng had a grim expression. He pondered for a moment and said, “With our current strength, we might stand a chance against a single Sanctuary. However, we definitely don’t have a chance of winning against four Sanctuaries.”

After Su Zimo synthesized the three lotus flowers, he could already sense that four of the Flora race beings in the Heaven and Earth Creation Diagram had bloodlines that were clearly stronger than others!

Apart from Paramount Supremacy Lin Meng, there were three others.

The four of them should be from the Saint race of the Chaos Sanctuary.

“Due to the Heaven and Earth Creation Diagram, there has never been Saint race beings with atavistic bloodlines born here.”

Paramount Supremacy Lin Meng said, “With the destruction of the Chaos Sanctuary, most of the Saint race beings back then died in battle. Right now, there’s only the four of us who are from the Saint race.”

Paramount Supremacy Lin Meng pointed to the three people beside him and introduced them to Su Zimo.

The three Saint race beings were all Paramount Supremacies. There were two men and a woman and they were all old.

The man on the left had a long beard and an immortal bearing. His Dao title was Chang Qing.

The woman in the middle was graceful and beautiful. Her Dao title was Hua Ruo.

As for the man on the right, his face was pale and his body was shrouded with a deeply sinister aura. His Dao title was Huai An.

Although Su Zimo’s cultivation was far inferior to the three of them, with his bloodline, he could sense their true bodies.

For example, Paramount Supremacy Huai An’s true form was a pagoda tree. He devoured countless ghosts to gain sentience and eventually attain the Great Dao. That was the reason why the aura around him was extremely sinister.

Paramount Supremacy Huai An said coldly, “Even when the Chaos Sanctuary was at its peak back then, we could not defend against the encirclement of four Sanctuaries, let alone now.”

Paramount Supremacy Chang Qing said, “It’s mainly because there are no Saints among us. If the Saints of the four Sanctuaries attack, all of us combined won’t be able to defend.”

Paramount Supremacy Hua Ruo said, “We can only have a chance to break through to the Saint realm if we return to the major chiliocosm as soon as possible.”

Su Zimo said, “As far as I know, Saints won’t interfere in such conflicts. When Saints kill living beings below the Saint realm, they will be tainted by karma and their combat strength will be affected. They might even attract Divine Punishment and die.”

“Huh?”

Paramount Supremacy Lin Meng and the others were confused when they heard that.

When Su Zimo saw everyone’s strange expressions, he could not help but ask, “Everyone, you don’t know about this?”

Paramount Supremacy Lin Meng shook his head. “Saints will indeed be tainted by karma when they kill ordinary living beings and it will affect their combat strength. However, I’ve never heard of them attracting Divine Punishment.”

Su Zimo narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

He learned about this from Uncle Feng. There was no need for Uncle Feng to lie to him about this.

However, Paramount Supremacy Lin Meng and the others knew nothing about this!

Su Zimo recalled Uncle Feng’s words carefully.

Uncle Feng merely said that being tainted by karma might attract Divine Punishment.

Could it be that the matter of Divine Punishment only happened after the huge turmoil more than six billion years ago?

That was the reason why Paramount Supremacy Lin Meng and the others did not know anything about it.

This also meant that there was a high chance that Divine Punishment was not a rule of the Heavenly Dao, but was controlled by someone.

The Divine Punishment Sanctuary!

Su Zimo was shocked.

Right then, Su Zimo sensed something and left the Heaven and Earth Creation Diagram, returning to the residence.

“Young Friend, your cultivation has improved. Congratulations.”

Uncle Feng stood not far away and smiled at Su Zimo, asking, “I wonder if you’ve considered my suggestion previously?”

Su Zimo had an apologetic expression as he cupped his fists. “Thank you for your kindness, Senior. It’s just that my circumstances are special and it’s not convenient for me to join the Ancestral Fire Sanctuary.”

“I was also planning to look for you to bid farewell…”

“In that case, I won’t force you.”

Uncle Feng pondered for a moment. “This was originally your opportunity. Since you’re unwilling to join, I’ll answer a question of yours as a parting gift.”

“Can I ask any question?”

Su Zimo asked.

“Of course, I’ll tell you everything I know.”

Uncle Feng smiled gently.

Su Zimo asked bluntly, “Senior, may I ask where the Apocalyptic Black Lotus is?”

“Wha—”

Uncle Feng was stumped by that question and shook his head. “I don’t know…”

At that point, Uncle Feng suddenly paused. After a moment of silence, he corrected himself. “The Apocalyptic Black Lotus involves the secrets of the Sanctuaries and it’s not convenient for me to tell you. Change the question.”

Su Zimo had been observing Uncle Feng’s expression earlier on.

Initially, Uncle Feng did not seem to know the whereabouts of the Apocalyptic Black Lotus.

However, after a moment of silence, he changed his answer.

What was even stranger was that although Uncle Feng did not seem to tell him the whereabouts of the Apocalyptic Black Lotus, he also told him indirectly that the Apocalyptic Black Lotus was in the few Sanctuaries!

Could it be that Uncle Feng changed his answer at the last minute after someone sent a voice transmission to him while he was silent?

Of course, Su Zimo still had many questions.

Change a question…

What happened in the major chiliocosm more than six billion years ago?

What was up with the matter of Divine Punishment?

Who was the black-robed man…

He had too many questions in his heart. However, he was silent for a long time before saying slowly, “In the minor chiliocosm, an old friend of mine was very talented but could not break through in his cultivation realm. In the end, her lifespan was exhausted and she died.”

“I guarded her coffin for a year and never left. However, her corpse vanished into thin air, leaving behind only a set of clothes.”

“Senior, I’d like to ask you for an explanation regarding that. What happened?”

“Is she alive or dead?”

“Or perhaps, has she already reincarnated…”

To be precise, this was no longer a question.

However, Uncle Feng did not refute. Instead, he listened to him quietly.

Uncle Feng was silent for a long time without saying anything.

A moment later, Uncle Feng did not reply directly. Instead, he asked, “Is this person your family or Dao Companion?”

Su Zimo shook his head. “She’s not family nor is she my Dao Companion.”

Uncle Feng said indifferently, “Since she’s not family nor is she your Dao Companion, why are you asking about her?”

“This is very important to me.”

Su Zimo thought for a moment and continued, “She’s very important to me as well. I can’t let it go and want to seek an answer.”

Uncle Feng had a conflicted expression and remained silent.

When Su Zimo saw that, he realized that there was a high chance that Uncle Feng knew something!

He said hurriedly, “Senior, if it’s inconvenient for you to tell me, you can give me some clues and I’ll find the answer myself.”

Uncle Feng looked at Su Zimo deeply before saying, “Follow me. Someone will give you an answer.”
