Chapter 1976: Gathering

“How are you?”

Tang Ziyi’s voice sounded from behind and Su Zimo turned around.

Tang Ziyi was startled!

Right now, Su Zimo was only a human skeleton without any facial features or flesh—he was extremely terrifying.

Tang Ziyi was long prepared. Even so, she was shocked by Su Zimo’s left eye.

It was like a black hole that emitted a cold and dark aura. Embedded in Su Zimo’s eye socket, it seemed to be able to suck in one’s soul!

Tang Ziyi merely took a single glance and felt her consciousness blur.

As though he sensed something, Su Zimo lowered his head slightly and did not continue staring at Tang Ziyi.

After a while, the darkness in his left eye gradually dissipated.

“Hurry and eat this Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng,”

Tang Ziyi said hurriedly, “This immortal herb can revive the dead and flesh the bones. The flesh that you lost can definitely be nourished with the help of the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng.”

Su Zimo nodded and sat down in a lotus position without hesitation. He placed the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng into his mouth and bit off half of it!

The Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng did not have the bitterness of herbs. Instead, it was sweet.

Su Zimo chewed a few times and swallowed it. A warm current flowed down and an unimaginable amount of essence energy exploded in his stomach and flowed through his entire body!

The energy was way too powerful. Su Zimo opened his mouth slightly and rays of light spewed out.

Tang Ziyi merely absorbed some Essence Qi from the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng nearby and felt her injuries heal slightly.

Su Zimo’s body was burning and every single inch of his bones felt itchy.

He was delighted.

He knew that the itch was a change that could only happen when flesh was born!

Su Zimo lowered his head and saw that a thin blood membrane had already grown on the surface of his jade green bones. Rich essence energy was still colliding and condensing on it!

His flesh was recovering at a visible speed!

Just as Su Zimo was about to devour the remaining half of the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng, he paused and pondered for a moment before sealing the remaining half and putting it away in his storage bag.

Actually, the energy of half of the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng was already extremely terrifying.

If not for the fact that Su Zimo was the Green Lotus True Body and a supreme god of the Flora race, the energy of the half Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng might have caused him to explode!

But now, the Green Lotus True Body was growing rapidly as he absorbed the energy of the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng continuously!

In reality, not long after Su Zimo broke through to Grade 9 Black Immortal, he encountered the Spirit Mine Blood Calamity and was taken away by the Green Cloud County Governor.

If he wanted to break through to the Earth Essence realm, it would take at least hundreds or even a thousand years.

Although the Green Lotus True Body absorbed Heaven and Earth Essence Qi at a fast speed, the amount of Essence Qi energy required to grow was extremely shocking.

If the energy in that half of the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng was completely absorbed and refined by the Green Lotus True Body, it would be equivalent to hundreds of years of effort!

If the Green Lotus True Body could break through to the Earth Essence realm, Su Zimo’s combat strength would increase significantly!

This was not only an increase in cultivation realm, but also a transformation of the Creation Green Lotus itself!

When he underwent Tribulation Transcendence and ascended, the Green Lotus True Body grew to Grade 9 and created an unfathomable treasure that could be used for both offense and defense, the Nine Heavens Living Soil.

The Nine Heavens Living Soil originated from the Creation Green Lotus to begin with.

This meant that as the cultivation realm of the Green Lotus True Body increased, the power of the Nine Heavens Living Soil would increase as well!

If the Green Lotus True Body could grow to Grade 10, there would be another treasure as well!

Su Zimo did not know what exact form it would take either.

In his consciousness, the refinement of the Hell Suppression Tripod continued.

Su Zimo could clearly see that most of the cracks on the third tripod wall had healed and the pattern etched on it had already formed an embryonic form.

One of the four sacred beasts, the Black Tortoise!

At that time, the Prajna Nirvana Sutra would be even more perfect and the Black Tortoise Sacred Soul would leave behind its inheritance.

At that time, Su Zimo would undergo a complete transformation and his combat strength would increase significantly!

Of course, there was a prerequisite for that—he had to get out of the Emperor’s Tomb alive.

As time passed by, Su Zimo’s flesh grew.

After half a day, his appearance and features gradually appeared.

After a day, his flesh grew continuously and his skin regrew. It looked as fair and tender as a newborn baby with a green glow flowing on it.

In Tang Ziyi’s eyes, the Green Lotus True Body was flawless and crystalline. Sitting in a lotus position, it looked like a jade green lotus.

Tang Ziyi retracted her gaze.

Although she could tell that Su Zimo’s body was extraordinary, she could not recognize the origin of the Green Lotus True Body given her experience.

…

The cultivators around the lake did not disperse after a day. Instead, more gathered.

Cultivators of various factions headed over.

In the northwest direction of the lake, dozens of cultivators were gathered. Their leader was not old, but he had an indescribably noble aura.

“What’s going on over there?”

The person asked softly with his hands behind his back and sharp eyes.

“Commander Yun Ting, I heard that a Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng grew on the lone island in the lake,” A cultivator at the side said.

Yun Ting was unmoved. “There must be danger lurking around such a treasure!”

The cultivator said, “Commander, you are right. There are many Eyeless Fishes and a Scarlet Black Squid guarding this lake and many people have already died. However…”

The person paused for a moment. “I heard that a man and a woman from the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom have used some unknown method to break through the obstruction and descended on the lone island.”

“Oh?”

Yun Ting raised his brow in surprise.

The cultivator continued, “The man and woman should have obtained the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng. However, a day has passed and they haven’t come out of the lone island.”

“Could the two of them have eaten the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng?”

Another person asked.

“Absolutely impossible,”

Yun Ting shook his head gently and smiled. “Even my body can’t withstand the energy contained in the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng. If the two of them really dare to consume it, they’ll be courting death.”

“Let’s go take a look too,”

Yun Ting said in a deep voice and headed in the direction of the lake.

A gentle breeze blew past and the badge on his waist fluttered. There were two words written on it—Zi Xuan!

One of the three Immortal Kingdoms of the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain, the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom!

On the other side, another group of cultivators walked over.

Their leader was an old man with a walking stick and a badge on his waist with the words Yan Yang written on it!

The Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom!

“Elder Ge, do you need me to snatch the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng later?”

A black-robed man behind the old man asked softly.

“There are many people gathered here and the situation is unknown. If you really snatch the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng, you’ll easily become a public enemy.”

Old Man Ge said indifferently.

“So what if I become a public enemy?”

The black-robed man sneered, “I, Fang Xuan, am invincible in the lower worlds and ascended through the Four of Nine Heavenly Tribulation. I’ve never met a match in the Black Essence realm! Even if they join forces, I’ll be fearless!”

“Hehe,”

Old Man Ge laughed oddly. “There’s quite a bit of commotion here and many people have already been attracted. Notwithstanding the fact that the three Immortal Kingdoms are gathered, even people from the four immortal sects have appeared. We should keep a low profile.”
