Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 2760: Seeing Through the Mortal World

Translator: Legge

In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed since the battle between Beiming Xue and Yun Ting.

For the past half a year, Su Zimo had been in seclusion in Beiming Xue’s cave abode.

He enjoyed a rare period of peace after arriving at the Sword World. During this period, no one came to challenge him.

On this day, a spirit consciousness fluctuation came from outside the cave abode.

Although Su Zimo sensed it, the spirit consciousness fluctuation was a little weak. He remained in a meditative state and did not wake up.

“Brother Su, Brother Su…”

After a while, the spirit consciousness fluctuation spread in again cautiously. Yun Ting?

Su Zimo opened his eyes. He did not know what Yun Ting was doing here but he still channeled his spirit consciousness and opened the door of the cave abode.

When Yun Ting saw the door of the cave abode open, he did not walk in. Instead, he looked inside from the entrance of the cave abode, looking for something.

Su Zimo raised his voice. “Brother Yun, what’s wrong? Why not come in for a chat?”

Yun Ting coughed gently and sent a voice transmission with his spirit consciousness, “Brother Su, is your disciple inside?”

“Beiming Xue?”

Su Zimo said, “She’s not around. She went to Myriad Sword Palace to cultivate.” After Beiming Xue became a legacy disciple, she had the chance to head to Myriad Sword Palace and cultivate before the Zenith Heaven Sword Stele to comprehend the Taboo Mystic Classic of the Sword World—the Zenith Heaven Sword Classic.

The Zenith Heaven Sword Classic was imprinted on the Zenith Heaven Sword Stele.

In the Sword World, the Zenith Heaven Sword Classic did not belong to anyone. Back then, Great Emperor Zenith Heaven had once passed down an ancient rule that as long as a legacy disciple of the Sword World swore not to impart the sword classic privately or betray the Sword World, they could come to the Zenith Heaven Sword Classic to comprehend the Sword Dao.

It was also because of Great Emperor Zenith Heaven’s ancient rule that the Sword World was one of the strongest worlds in the past few eras!

Everyone who read the Zenith Heaven Sword Classic comprehended different Sword Daos according to their different experiences, physiques, bloodlines and cultivation techniques in the past.

From that, the eight most powerful Sword Daos of the Sword World were derived, creating the current eight Sword Peaks.

“Oh.”

When he heard that Beiming Xue was not inside, Yun Ting heaved a sigh of relief. As though it was a load off his shoulders, he relaxed and swaggered into the cave abode.

“What’s the matter, Brother Yun?”

Su Zimo asked.

Just as Yun Ting was about to speak, he suddenly noticed Su Zimo’s cultivation realm. His eyes widened and he cried out, “Your cultivation speed is way too fast. You’re already at the Celestial Being realm?”

Su Zimo nodded. “It’s been half a year.”

During the Tribulation Transcendence, Yun Ting’s attention was on Beiming Xue and he did not notice that Su Zimo had already broken through.

Advancement in the Perfected One realm was much more difficult than the Black, Earth, and Heaven Essence realms.

Not only did it require a large amount of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi and cultivation resources, it also required a new comprehension of the world.

Even with his talent and specialization in the Sword Dao, Yun Ting had yet to cultivate to the peak of the Convergence realm. However, Su Zimo was already at the Celestial Being realm!

Yun Ting had always treated Su Zimo as his opponent. Even after being defeated by Su Zimo twice, he was not discouraged.

However, his loss to Beiming Xue half a year ago had indeed dealt him a considerable blow.

Now that he saw that Su Zimo’s cultivation realm had already surpassed his, his heart suffered another blow.

The previous two times Su Zimo defeated him, Su Zimo’s cultivation realm was lower than his.

Furthermore, Su Zimo did not release his full strength—at the very least, he did not release the blood qi of the Creation Green Lotus.

Yun Ting’s chances were even less if they had fought at the same cultivation realm.

But now, Su Zimo’s cultivation realm was even higher than his.

This meant that there was no way he could defeat Su Zimo!

No matter how proud and conceited Yun Ting was, he could not help but feel discouraged.

Su Zimo smiled and changed the topic. “Are you here to spar with Beiming?” He thought that Yun Ting must have asked about Beiming Xue’s whereabouts because he wanted to spar with her.

Furthermore, Yun Ting was belligerent by nature. He would definitely not be willing to admit defeat after losing to Beiming Xue in front of everyone and would find an opportunity to fight again.

Unexpectedly, when Yun Ting heard the words ‘spar with Beiming’, he shuddered and said hurriedly, “I’m not looking for her. I’m not sparring with her!”

“Well…”

Su Zimo was stunned when he saw Yun Ting’s resistance.

Yun Ting was so belligerent and conceited. He actually did not want to regain his dignity after losing once?

He had defeated Yun Ting twice, but Yun Ting was unconvinced and wanted to spar with him for the third time.

Yet, Beiming Xue managed to subdue Yun Ting in one go?

Su Zimo looked at Yun Ting with a fake smile and asked, “Didn’t you want to court Beiming?”

“No, no, no!”

Yun Ting shook his head like a rattle drum and said with lingering fear, “That crazy woman…”

The moment he said that, he realized that it was inappropriate. He coughed gently and corrected himself. “That disciple of yours is way too fierce. I can’t deal with her.”

‘Tve had to recuperate for two months just after fighting with her! If we become Dao companions in the future, it’ll be terrible. I’m afraid I won’t be able to live past next year.”

Su Zimo:”…”

Even after half a year, Yun Ting’s face was still filled with deep fear.

Suddenly, Su Zimo regretted not watching the battle personally.

He did not know what happened in that battle between the two of them to give Yun Ting such a huge psychological trauma…

Su Zimo consoled, “Beiming is not the only woman in the Sword World. You can look for other women.”

“No thanks.”

Yun Ting waved it off and winced. “Women are all the same. They’re terrifyingly fierce. Although my sister is usually quiet and gentle, she’s ruthless when she goes crazy!”

“It’s best to just cultivate the Sword Dao. I won’t have such thoughts in the future. I should just focus on cultivating with my sword.”

“Brother Su, this tribulation is probably a test from the heavens for me. It reminds me that I should focus on cultivating the Sword Dao and not let my thoughts run wild.”

Yun Ting lamented, as though he had seen through the mortal world and was enlightened.

Su Zimo had a strange expression.

He could actually sense a Buddhist Zen aura from Yun Ting.

“Well…”

Su Zimo muttered internally.

Could Beiming Xue have beaten Yun Ting into thoughts of asceticism?

If Yun Zhu knew about this, who knew what she would think?

Right then, a voice sounded from outside the door.

“Young Friend Su Zhu, I’m the Peak Master of Carnage Sword Peak, Lu Yun. I’m here to visit.”

The Peak Master of Carnage Sword Peak!

Su Zimo and Yun Ting exchanged glances in confusion, not knowing why this Immortal King expert had come to visit.

“Please come in.”

Su Zimo stood up and welcomed Lu Yun into his cave abode.

When Lu Yun saw Yun Ting, he smiled and nodded slightly.

“Peak Master Lu, do you need me to leave?”

Yun Ting bowed and asked.

Lu Yun hesitated for a moment. “There’s no need for that.”

Thereafter, he turned to look at Su Zimo and cupped his fists slightly, saying in a deep voice, “I’m here this time round to thank you, Young Friend Su Zhu.”

“Senior, you’re being too polite. Why are you thanking me?”

Su Zimo asked.

Lu Yun said, “Thank you for imparting Beiming Xue the Martial Dao Young Friend. You nurtured such a peerless genius and even saved her from death..’
