Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 3321: Battle of the Saints

Near the village at the foot of Mount Xuan Pin, the fisherman who was originally fishing seemed to have sensed something and opened his eyes. He glanced over and gave a knowing smile.

The woodcutter who was logging heaved a sigh of relief and turned around.

When he saw the two of them hugging under the peach blossom tree, the woodcutter grinned and continued waving his axe to chop wood.

The farmer who was originally plowing stopped the hoe in his hand and stood up to look over. A simple and honest smile appeared on his slightly withered face.

In front of a straw hut at the foot of the mountain, an old man in a loose white robe was half-lying on a rocking chair. An open tattered book covered his face and his white beard was tugged by the children beside him.

The naughty children tugged at the old man’s beard and swung him on the swing, letting out laughter. They played happily but the old man was not angry.

A child stepped on the rocking chair and grabbed the old man’s beard, climbing clumsily into the old man’s arms and standing on him.

The child had sharp eyes and could not help but widen his eyes when he saw the man and woman under the peach blossom tree in the distance. “Grandpa Mountain Chief, who’s that hugging Sister Die?”

The white-robed old man did not move or lift the tattered book on his face. However, he said, “That person is your Sister Die’s Dao Companion and a great hero of the human race.”

“Huh?”

When they heard that, the many children were interested and scrambled to climb onto the old man, shouting, “Grandpa Mountain Chief, tell us a story quickly. We want to hear the story of this great hero!”

“Fufu.”

The white-robed old man laughed. “I’m going to take an afternoon nap. Someone will tell you guys in the future.”

“Who’s going to tell us?”

“Grandpa Mountain Chief, you’re lying!”

A group of children chattered.

The white-robed old man said, “In the future, if you see a fair-faced, beardless and slightly plump wandering Daoist cultivator at the entrance of the village, just hold him back.”

“Huh? Then how long do we have to wait?”

The many children asked relentlessly.

“Soon, soon…”

The moment the white-robed old man said that, faint snores sounded between his breaths.

The many children were still making noise earlier on. When they saw the white-robed old man fall asleep, they hurriedly fell silent and climbed down softly, dispersing.

…

After a long time.

The man and woman under the peach blossom tree separated reluctantly, but their palms were still holding each other’s hands.

The two of them sat side by side on the bench under the peach blossom tree and confessed their love for each other.

It was only when he was with Die Yue that Su Zimo would relax completely and ignore the commotion in the outside world.

It would be as though the two of them were the only ones left in the world.

As for Su Zimo, he could sense that Die Yue seemed to have changed a little as well after her rebirth.

There was less coldness in her expressions and words. Instead, there was a hint of shyness, just like a young girl, making her look even more enchanting.

After her rebirth, Die Yue was no longer from the Butterfly race, but the human race.

However, she was still surrounded by many butterflies.

Su Zimo asked, “You’ve been at Mount Xuan Pin the entire time after your rebirth?”

Die Yue shook her head. “I was reborn in the Northwest Region of the major chiliocosm. There were frequent wars there. Fortunately, I was taken care of by many butterflies and was spared from the flames of war, growing up gradually.”

“When I was ten years old, a white-robed woman looked for me and sent me here.”

“White-robed woman?”

Su Zimo frowned slightly.

Die Yue said, “Previously, she did not reveal her identity. Now that I’ve recovered my memories of my previous life, I know that she’s Empress Evil and the current Evil Lady of the major chiliocosm.”

“Back then, the Evil Lady only looked like a little girl in the medium chiliocosm. It was mainly because she was injured and her cultivation realm was suppressed, so she did not recover to her peak.”

Su Zimo nodded.

It was the same for Brahma Ghost Mother and the Fiend Lord back then.

When the calamity that hunted the Martial Dao Prime Body broke through the barrier of the Three Realms, Brahma Ghost Mother’s cultivation recovered and she was no longer in her aged form.

“Why did the Evil Lady send you here?”

Su Zimo asked.

Die Yue said, “She didn’t elaborate. She merely said that the situation in the northwest was chaotic and she couldn’t take care of me, so she brought me here.”

“Northwest…”

Su Zimo was deep in thought.

The original Reincarnation Sanctuary was in the Northwest Region!

Die Yue said, “The Northwest Region was originally ruled by the Heavenly Being race and there were a total of 33 Heavens. After the Fiend Lord, Evil Lady, Brahma Ghost Mother and Lord of Hell ascended, a huge battle broke out with the 33 Heavenly Palaces in the Northwest Region and countless people died.”

“50,000 years ago, five Sanctuaries descended in the northwest and helped the 33 Heavenly Palaces suppress the Fiend Lord, Evil Lady, Brahma Ghost Mother and Lord of Hell. In the end, the situation escalated continuously, resulting in a battle between Saints.”

“Great Saints from both sides attacked. The five Sanctuaries suffered considerable casualties and many Saints even died.”

A battle between Saints!

Great Saints attacked!

Saints died!

It was not difficult to imagine the tragic battle in the northwest with just those few words.

“What happened next?”

Su Zimo asked.

Die Yue said, “The five Sanctuaries were unable to take down the Four Paths. The experts of the various factions withdrew from the 33 Heavens for the time being. Both parties recuperated and did not do much during this period of time.”

“The Fiend Lord, Evil Lady and the others are so strong that they can actually defend against the encirclement of five Sanctuaries?”

Su Zimo was surprised.

If the Reincarnation Sanctuary was so strong, it would not have been destroyed back then.

Furthermore, the Reincarnation Sanctuary of this generation had already been destroyed, leaving only the Four Paths—Asura, Ghost, Beast and Hell.

Die Yue shook her head. “The Fiend Lord, Evil Lady, Brahma Ghost Mother and Lord of Hell should have already become Great Saints. However, I don’t know why four of them can defend against the encirclement of five Sanctuaries.”

Suddenly, Su Zimo recalled that Uncle Feng had mentioned something in the Ancestral Fire Sanctuary.

The Lord of Vermilion Heaven was in seclusion to recuperate.

Now that he thought about it, there was a high chance that the Lord of Vermilion Heaven’s injuries were left behind in the battlefield of the 33 Heavens.

After returning in this generation, the Lords of the Four Paths had already become Great Saints.

It did not matter to Su Zimo that the Fiend Lord, Evil Lady and even the Lord of Hell had become Great Saints.

However, the fact that Brahma Ghost Mother had become a Great Saint meant that the difficulty of taking revenge on her would increase countless times!

At the same time, Su Zimo understood something.

He understood why the various Sanctuaries sent Saints to personally descend on the medium chiliocosm more than six billion years ago to establish the Heavenly Court and seal the medium chiliocosm.

The Lords of the Four Paths were way too powerful and there would be endless trouble in the future.

Only Saints had endless lifespan and could suppress the Lords of the Four Paths in the medium chiliocosm forever, preventing them from ascending to the major chiliocosm.

In this generation, if not for the appearance of the variable, the Martial Dao Prime Body, the Lords of the Four Paths would not have had the chance to break through the seal of the Heavenly Court.

“Was the human race involved in that battle?”

Su Zimo asked.

Die Yue shook her head. “In the end, that battle had already escalated to a battle between Saints. In fact, the various Saint Lords even attacked. There are no Saints in the human race. Even if they went, they would have just died in vain.”

When he heard that there were no Saints in the human race again, Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat and he could not help but ask, “Why are there no Saints in the human race?”
