Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 3245: Fate

Xu Rui and the other two had grim expressions as they stared at a Spirit Devouring Flower beneath the spirit vessel, not noticing Su Zimo’s subtle action.

There were Spirit Devouring Flowers in Tianhuang Mainland as well. However, they seemed way too insignificant compared to the one before him.

The Spirit Devouring Flower was dozens of feet tall and the edges of the flower were jagged, like two rows of intersecting sharp fangs. All of them opened like bloody mouths, wanting to devour the spirit vessel!

Just as Chen Qianhe had said, everything in the major chiliocosm, including life, was abnormally powerful!

Xu Rui took a step forward and controlled the spirit vessel, avoiding the attack range of the Spirit Devouring Flower by a hair’s breadth. The spirit vessel’s speed increased and transformed into a streak of light, escaping from this place.

The three of them only heaved a sigh of relief when they were out of the attack range of the Spirit Devouring Flower.

When Chen Qianhe returned, she unintentionally caught sight of a pile of sand by Su Zimo’s feet. However, she did not think too much about it.

After all, they had just escaped danger and she still had lingering fear.

Chen Qianhe looked at Su Zimo. “In the major chiliocosm, especially in the Southeast Region, most plants have sentience and some are even extremely aggressive.”

Su Zimo nodded with a calm expression.

The Spirit Devouring Flower was not much of a threat to him.

He had the Green Lotus Body and had a natural bloodline suppression against living beings of the Flora race!

This bloodline suppression came from the depths of their memories and souls.

Take domesticated dogs for example. Even if they had never seen a ferocious beast like a tiger, they would tremble in fear the first time they met.

Su Zimo asked, “Fellow Daoist, what’s the relationship between your Chaos Palace and the Chaos Sanctuary?”

At the mention of that, Chen Qianhe sighed gently. “It’s just some theories passed down by our ancestors. Initially, there was a Chaos Sanctuary in the Southeast Region. However, it was destroyed by a huge turmoil later on and our ancestors were uprooted. Things gradually declined and now, the only thing we’re left with is the name of Chaos Palace.”

Su Zimo nodded to himself.

The turmoil Chen Qianhe mentioned should be related to the apocalyptic scenes in his lineage memories. The black-robed man had also said something similar.

“Fellow Daoist, what Great Dao do you cultivate?”

Chen Qianhe asked.

“Chaos Dao.”

Su Zimo said.

Chen Qianhe was stunned when she heard that.

Xu Rui looked at him in surprise.

Meng Shi cackled strangely, as though he wanted to say something. However, he pouted when he was stopped by Xu Rui’s gaze.

Su Zimo asked, “What’s the problem?”

“Fellow Daoist, you cultivate the Chaos Dao and are fated with our Chaos Palace. Unfortunately…”

Chen Qianhe smiled bitterly and hesitated.

“Fellow Daoist, you ascended way too late.”

After pondering for a moment, Chen Qianhe explained, “Fellow Daoist, if you had ascended at the World realm, you could have chosen a relatively easy Great Dao to cultivate.”

The World realm was the Emperor realm equivalent here.

Chen Qianhe said, “There are 3,000 Great Daos. Their strengths are different and the difficulty of cultivating them is also completely different. The Chaos Great Dao is one of the strongest Great Daos. Although its combat strength is powerful at the same level, it’s extremely difficult to cultivate.”

“Fellow Daoist, if you had a longer lifespan, you might have been able to disperse your Dao Imprint and cultivate again. But now…”

In Chen Qianhe’s opinion, Su Zimo did not have much time left and would definitely not have the chance to advance to the Dao Comprehension realm since he cultivated the Chaos Great Dao.

Even if he chose another Great Dao to cultivate, it was already too late.

Su Zimo smiled and did not explain anything.

To others, cultivating the Chaos Great Dao might be as difficult as ascending to the heavens. However, to him, it was the easiest Great Dao to cultivate!

He had synthesized the Creation Green Lotus and Karmic Fire Red Lotus and possessed the lineage memories of the Chaos Green Lotus.

Although these lineage memories were incomplete and intermittent, he still had an innate advantage when cultivating the Chaos Great Dao!

Before long, the four of them passed through the forest and the sky gradually darkened.

Su Zimo frowned slightly and asked, “Day and night alternates in the major chiliocosm?”

Chen Qianhe nodded and said, “Every twelve hours, there will be day and night.”

The phenomenon of day and night alternating was extremely similar to Tianhuang Mainland. However, Su Zimo looked up at the sky and did not see the sun, moon and stars.

“Without the sun and moon, why would day and night alternate?”

Su Zimo asked again.

Chen Qianhe shook his head. “I don’t know either. The major chiliocosm has been like this ever since I descended.”

Su Zimo asked for more information about the major chiliocosm and Chen Qianhe patiently answered them one by one.

At the side, Meng Shi was a little annoyed and could not help but mutter, “What’s the use of telling him so much? He doesn’t even have many years of life remaining.”

“Junior Brother Meng!”

Chen Qianhe berated softly before turning to look at Su Zimo with an apologetic expression. “Junior Brother Meng is a straightforward person. Fellow Daoist, don’t take it to heart. Your lifespan…”

Chen Qianhe wanted to say something comforting, but when she looked at Su Zimo’s aged face, she did not know what to say.

“Fellow Daoist, here’s a Source Stone. You can have it. Use it to cultivate.”

After a moment, Chen Qianhe seemed to have made a decision and took out a Source Stone from her storage bag, handing it to Su Zimo.

“Senior Sister!”

“Qianhe!”

Meng Shi exclaimed when he saw that.

Even the calm Xu Rui could not help but speak with a frown.

Meng Shi was a little anxious and said hurriedly, “Senior Sister, these Source Stones are so precious. You only have a few left on you and you’re still giving some to him?!”

Xu Rui said in a deep voice as well, “Qianhe, this Fellow Daoist’s lifespan is about to end. No matter how many Source Stones he has, he won’t be able to break through. You should keep your Source Stones for yourself.”

“It’s fine, it’s just one Source Stone.”

Chen Qianhe forced a gentle smile.

For some reason, she could not help but have a good impression of the white-haired Su Zimo; it felt as though she was seeing her family.

Perhaps it’s because he resembles Father.

Chen Qianhe thought to herself.

In fact, Su Zimo was the shocked one when he saw that the three of them did not seem to be faking their reactions.

Things had actually gotten so miserable after the Chaos Sanctuary declined?

There were still more than a hundred Source Stones in his storage bag. They were all obtained from the Heavenly Court in the Heaven Conquest Battle back then. In fact, these were the remaining Source Stones after his many years of cultivation.

From the looks of it, Xu Rui and the other two probably did not even have 100 Source Stones in total.

“Are Source Stones so rare in the major chiliocosm?”

Su Zimo asked.

Xu Rui explained, “Fellow Daoist, we’ve embarrassed ourselves. It’s just that our Chaos Palace isn’t strong enough to take over the Source Mines. As such, we don’t have many Source Stones on us.”

“If you regret joining Chaos Palace, there’s still time for you to leave.”

Meng Shi snorted softly.

Su Zimo was not angry when he heard that and laughed it off.

It was not easy for the three of them to hold on even after the Chaos Sanctuary was reduced to such a state.

“You’re right. I’m indeed fated with your Chaos Palace…”

Su Zimo smiled gently and said meaningfully.

Su Zimo did not reject the Source Stone handed over by Chen Qianhe. He received it and placed it in his storage bag.

Everyone continued speeding along. According to Chen Qianhe, the journey was not safe. As such, Su Zimo did not dare to cultivate rashly.

At the very least, he had to settle down before he could cultivate in seclusion and release all the power accumulated in his body over the years!

After watching over the Netherworld for 60,000 years, he had actually broken through the First Transformation of the Dao Manifestation realm. However,he was restricted by the Heaven and Earth laws and could not manifest it.

Furthermore, before he ascended, he had fused with the Grade 12 Karmic Fire Red Lotus!
