Chapter 1339 - Hermit
Chapter 1339: Hermit
“Comprehending the Dao by the seaside?”
Su Zimo nodded silently.
Upon arriving at Divine Phoenix Island, he witnessed the grandeur of the ocean with his own eyes and experienced the boundless power of the universe. Indeed, it was extremely helpful for him to comprehend the Saber Emperor’s inheritance.
For the next few days, Su Zimo took a spin around Divine Phoenix Island before heading to the Saber Dao inheritance palace of Divine Phoenix Island to comprehend the inheritance left behind by the Saber Emperor.
It had to be said that the Saber Emperor was truly magnanimous and treated all cultivators of Tianhuang Mainland and Divine Phoenix Island equally.
The Tidal Manual and Sea Calming Manual of Divine Phoenix Island were identical to what Su Zimo had learned.
The Saber Emperor did not hide anything in the inheritance he left behind in the Saber Mountain Spirit Sea.
Thereafter, Su Zimo went to the seaside and sat on a reef as well.
The place he chose was at the back of his palace and it was extremely quiet. There were no other cultivators by the seaside and he would not be disturbed.
Su Zimo sat on the reef by the seaside everyday, watching the clouds rise and fall, the ebb and flow of the tides and the surging of the waves. He comprehended the mysterious changes within and practiced repeatedly with his saber.
Initially, he swung his saber extremely frequently.
He had to slash thousands or even tens of thousands of times daily!
However, as time passed by, the number of times Su Zimo swung his saber decreased.
At the end, there would always be a long pause between each slash.
However, the saber intent released by his slashes turned increasingly terrifying and sharp.
His saber intent was almost at perfected for the first four stances of the Sea Calming Manual.
However, Su Zimo had no clue about the final stance, Sea Calming.
That was the true essence of the Sea Calming Manual!
This day, heavy rain poured and thunder rumbled!
On the surface of the ocean, waves surged and rumbled endlessly, as though the apocalypse was about to descend and destroy everything!
Su Zimo was waving his saber at the seaside when he caught sight of a small boat floating amidst the fog above the surface of the ocean.
The small boat was like a tiny speck of dust that could be devoured at any moment in the face of the raging ocean and storm!
On the small boat was a fisherman. He wore a green straw hat and a green woven rush raincoat. He swayed in the waves as though he could fall into the ocean at any moment.
Su Zimo swept his spirit consciousness and could not help but frown.
The fisherman was a mere mortal.
There were many other mortals like this on Divine Phoenix Island as well.
Su Zimo did not know how long this fisherman struggled in the waves before he caught sight of the latter.
He was prepared to get up to save the fisherman.
Right then, on the small boat, the fisherman suddenly took out a gigantic fishnet and cast it towards the turbulent ocean.
Su Zimo’s pupils constricted violently!
Initially, the raging tides created a series of roars but all of a sudden, everything went silent!
Instantly, the storm subsided.
The surface of the ocean was unusually calm, as though it was frozen without any ripples.
Even the skies were clear and the clouds that spanned thousands of kilometers were floating. The azure ocean and the blue skies were illuminating one another!
That scene was way too terrifying!
Even with Su Zimo’s strength, he could not do it.
This was practically changing the state of the world!
This was probably what it meant to connect to Heaven and Earth and be invincible.
This unassuming fisherman managed to calm the entire ocean and forcefully change the weather just by casting a fishnet!
Su Zimo’s expression changed, seemingly in deep thought.
“Sea Calming, Sea Calming…”
He muttered softly.
Although the fisherman looked like he was casting a fishnet, what he released was actually the intent of Sea Calming!
This was a true expert!
Su Zimo was secretly shocked.
Even he could not see through the cultivation of this expert!
In a flash, Su Zimo arrived at the seaside and bowed deeply to the fisherman on the small boat. “Greetings, senior. I’m Long Mo.”
“I see that you’ve been comprehending the Dao by the seaside for the past few days. Your comprehension talent is not bad, lad.”
The fisherman raised his head and looked at Su Zimo before bursting into joyful laughter.
He had an unshaved beard and looked no different from the fisherman mortals of Divine Phoenix Island.
Su Zimo had not expected that he was being watched for so long without realizing anything at all!
“Unfortunately, it’s impossible to comprehend Sea Calming at the seaside,”
The fisherman shook his head.
“Senior, please enlighten me.”
Su Zimo bowed once more with a respectful expression.
The fisherman said, “If you want to calm the sea, you must first enter the sea. You have to experience the boundless power of the ocean personally. What can you comprehend by watching the rise and fall of the tides here at the seaside?”
“If I want to calm the sea, I must first enter the sea,”
Su Zimo murmured softly, as though he understood something.
Although those words were simple, Su Zimo felt that there was a truth to them that could simplify things!
The more he pondered, the more he understood the endless mysteries within.
By the time Su Zimo returned to his senses, the latter was already riding on a small boat and singing fish songs. He floated into the depths of the sea and almost disappeared.
“Senior, may I know your name?”
Su Zimo shouted hurriedly.
“Hermit,”
A moment later, the voice of the fisherman sounded.
In the blink of an eye, he vanished into the fog in the distance.
Everything that happened earlier seemed like a dream.
Moments ago, there was a raging storm and lightning flashed. But now, everything was clear and peaceful.
“Mo Ying, do you recognize the fisherman from earlier on?”
Su Zimo turned around and said to Mo Ying.
Ever since he wielded the Dragon Soul Saber, Mo Ying had been by his side and was almost inseparable.
He comprehended the Dao by the seaside daily and Mo Ying followed closely behind.
“What fisherman?”
Mo Ying froze for a moment with a lost expression.
Su Zimo pointed in the direction where the fisherman appeared earlier on and continued, “Didn’t you see the fisherman earlier on? He even spoke to me.”
“No? It’s just been me and you here the entire time, young master,”
Mo Ying shook her head. “Furthermore, this sea region behind your palace is considered a forbidden ground. Cultivators of Divine Phoenix Island are not allowed to enter casually.”
This time round, Su Zimo was the one who was stunned.
He was certain that he was not wrong.
However, there was no way Mo Ying was wrong either given that she was a Conjoint Body Mighty Figure.
In other words, the means of Hermit was unfathomable and had even surpassed Su Zimo’s understanding!
“Amazing!”
Su Zimo thought to himself and turned to Mo Ying. “I’m prepared to enter the ocean to comprehend the Dao. There’s no need for you to follow me.”
With that, he leaped into the depths with the Dragon Soul Saber and headed towards the bottom of the ocean.
If it was any other cultivator, even Dharma Characteristic Dao Lords, their strength would definitely be suppressed and they would not be used to it deep in the ocean.
However, that was not the case for Su Zimo.
The Dragon race loved water to begin with and could create waves and overturn rivers and oceans with ease!
After the Dragon True Body entered the waters, he did not feel any discomfort and continued swimming towards the bottom of the ocean without slowing down!
Initially, Mo Ying chased Su Zimo deeper, her movement technique was impacted significantly in the waters.
At first, she could still see Su Zimo’s figure.
The deeper she dived, the more pressure she had to endure against the seawater. Before long, she lost track of Su Zimo entirely.
