Eternal Sacred King

2426 Emergence of the Prime Body

Lin Luo was not interested in the variant blood peach blossom tree at all.

However, when she saw that Su Zimo’s expression was amiss, she did not say anything and observed silently at the side.

Realizing that he had lost his composure, Su Zimo closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Before long, his expression returned to normal.

Although he thought of a possibility, it was not completely verified.

Su Zimo asked, “What was the humanoid peach blossom spirit you mentioned earlier on, Commander Jiang? How did it cause a peach blossom tree immortal seedling to transform once more?”

Jiang Xuanyou said, “Throughout history, because of the characteristics of the peach blossom tree race, there have been very few precedents of them taking on human form. It has nothing to do with their cultivation realms.”

“However, this peach blossom tree obtained some sort of opportunity and inherited some Dharmic Dao. To think that it can transform into a human at will. That’s why the City Lord calls it the peach blossom spirit.”

Lin Luo gradually reacted and frowned when she heard that. She could not help but say, “This peach blossom tree has already gained sentience and can even transform into a human. It’s no different from a human.”

“Isn’t it way too cruel for Song Xuan to use its blood to nourish and nurture other peach blossom trees?!”

“Fufu…”

Jiang Xuanyou chuckled and said with a disdainful expression, “This peach blossom spirit merely ascended from the lower worlds with a lowly status. The fact that he’s given this chance means that the City Lord thinks highly of him! This is a gift for him from the City Lord!”

At that point, Su Zimo no longer had any doubts.

Previously, he had heard Song Xuan mention the blood peach blossom tree once. At that time, he did not think too much about it. Now that Jiang Xuanyou mentioned it, he thought of Tao Yao.

Tao Yao had ascended a long time ago, even before the Prime Body.

However, there had been no news of him all these years. After all, the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain and even the entire Heavenly World were way too huge.

Furthermore, the Heavenly World was only one of the trichiliocosm.

Su Zimo had once thought that Tao Yao might have ascended to the Great Wilderness because he was a demon.

However, just now, he suddenly thought of another possibility.

There was an Immortal Peach Tree in the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain that condensed Heaven and Earth Essence Qi. In this Immortal Domain, peach blossom trees were everywhere and it was more probable that Tao Yao might have been guided here!

The possibility of Tao Yao ascending to the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain was the greatest!

“So, those that ascended from the lower worlds are lowly?”

Lin Luo’s expression turned cold.

Jiang Xuanyou raised his brow slightly, as though he had just recalled that Lin Luo’s parents were both people who had ascended from the lower worlds. He explained, “I misspoke.”

“Someone from the Fiend Domain?”

Lin Luo frowned.

Jiang Xuanyou said, “In recent years, a Perfected Fiend named Desolate Martial has risen in the Fiend Domain. Have you heard of him?”

“I have.”

Lin Luo nodded.

News of the battle in the Fiend Domain a thousand years ago spread through the Heavenly World one after another.

However, almost no one believed the rumors about the ten Heavenly Tribulations as well as how he destroyed a million-strong fiend army singlehandedly and killed four Perfected Fiends on the Perfected Fiend Ranking, including the Supreme Perfected Fiend.

Everything sounded way too exaggerated and had already surpassed the common knowledge of the Heavenly World.

It was already the limit for an ancient Great Emperor to trigger nine Heavenly Tribulations after entering the Perfected One realm—how could there be a tenth Heavenly Tribulation?

After discussing it for a while, many cultivators forgot about it and did not take it to heart.

Jiang Xuanyou continued, “The peach blossom spirit admitted personally that he came from the same place as Desolate Martial and was once his Dao child.”

“Since ancient times, immortals and fiends have always been irreconcilable. The fact that the City Lord merely used the blood of the Dao child instead of killing him is already benevolent on the part of the City Lord.”

At the side, Su Zimo who had been silent for a long time suddenly asked, “Where’s the blood peach blossom tree?”

“Why? Are you interested?”

Jiang Xuanyou said, “Not today, the Blood Peach Banquet of the day has already ended. I’ll bring the two of you over tomorrow to take a look.”

“Alright.”

Su Zimo replied and turned to leave.

By the time he returned to his room, his expression was cold and his eyes were filled with killing intent that was almost spewing out!

Lin Luo was shocked when she saw Su Zimo’s expression.

She had never seen Su Zimo reveal such a terrifying killing intent!

Lin Luo pondered for a moment and probed, “Why? You know that peach blossom spirit?”

“Yes.”

Su Zimo replied and did not explain further. He went to the bed and assumed a lotus position, closing his eyes in deep thought.

Initially, his plan was to leave this place with Lin Luo using the Teleportation Jade Badge given to him by the Sect Master of the Academy if the situation did not seem right.

But now that he knew that Tao Yao was imprisoned and was undergoing immense torture, there was no way he could leave with Lin Luo alone.

However, at the Blood Peach Banquet tomorrow, there would definitely be many Perfected Immortals present with Song Xuan hosting the event.

Even if he could see Tao Yao, it would be difficult for him to save the latter.

It was even more impossible for him to leave with Lin Luo and Tao Yao under the watchful gazes of Song Xuan and the other Perfected Immortals.

The Green Lotus True Body was only a Grade 5 Heaven Immortal. Under such circumstances, his strength was limited.

Furthermore, not only did he want to save Tao Yao, he wanted to take revenge for the latter!

The situation here could only be resolved if the Martial Dao Prime Body appeared.

Under normal circumstances, the two true bodies cultivated separately without interfering with one another.

Up till this point of his ascension, although the Green Lotus True Body had encountered countless dangers, he had never thought of alarming the Martial Dao Prime Body.

However, this matter involved Tao Yao and was extremely important. Su Zimo could not care less and called for the Martial Dao Prime Body who was far away in the Fiend Domain.

…

Fiend Domain, Tianhuang Sect.

“Mmm?”

In the secret chamber where he cultivated, the Martial Dao Prime Body suddenly opened his eyes. A divine light burst forth from his eyes before dissipating rapidly and returning to normal.

“Did something happen to Tao Yao?”

The Martial Dao Prime Body stood up and pushed the door open.

All these years, he had been forging the True Martial Dao Body and was at a critical juncture of seclusion. The True Martial Dao Body was about to be cultivated to greater mastery.

However, when he received the news, the Martial Dao Prime Body did not hesitate at all and gave up on his chance to break through, breaking out of seclusion.

Tao Yao’s status in his heart was self-evident.

On that night many years ago, when Die Yue imparted her Dharmic Dao, Su Zimo was not the only one who entered the cultivation world. Tao Yao inherited the Dharmic Dao as well and synthesized with Zhui Feng’s soul to gain sentience.

Tao Yao was not only an old friend of Tianhuang Mainland, but also a kin who witnessed him step onto the path of cultivation and accompanied him to cultivate until he ascended.

Su Zimo was definitely not willing to let Tao Yao get hurt at all!

“Master, what happened?”

At the entrance of the secret chamber, Heavenly Wolf was agitated by the killing intent of the Martial Dao Prime Body and jolted awake, asking instinctively.

The Martial Dao Prime Body glanced sideways in the direction of Feng Cantian’s secret chamber in seclusion and pondered for a moment without waking him up.

According to the news sent by the Green Lotus True Body, although there were many Perfected Immortals in Langfeng City, there were no Immortal Kings.

If Feng Cantian followed and released the power of an Immortal King, there was a high chance that the Immortal King experts of the 12 palaces would be alarmed.

At that time, the situation would be even more difficult to control.

“I’m going out.”

The Martial Dao Prime Body said before speeding into the distance.

Soon, he arrived before the teleportation formation of Tianhuang Sect and activated it. Before long, he arrived at the borders of the Fiend Domain and Jade Firmament Immortal Domain.

The teleportation formations between the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain were connected. As long as one had a sect badge and imprinted their spirit consciousness onto it, they could teleport freely.

As for the Martial Dao Prime Body, he was from the Fiend Domain and could not descend directly to the teleportation formation in Langfeng City. He could only arrive here indirectly before heading to Langfeng City.
