Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 3323: Old Friend

Time passed quickly and it had been more than 30,000 years since Su Zimo arrived at Mount Xuan Pin.

After settling down here with Die Yue, the two of them worked every day at sunrise and rested at sunset. They dug wells to drink and plowed the fields for food. They were like an ordinary couple in the mortal world, far away from the commotion of the secular world, enjoying peaceful and warm times.

Ever since Su Zimo entered cultivation, he had experienced countless dangers and lingered on the edge of life and death. Every single step was treacherous as he established the Dao in Tianhuang Mainland, quelled the chaos of the primordial races and resolved the catastrophe of the Blood Fiend.

After ascending to the medium chiliocosm, he led the living beings of the ten thousand races to break through the Nine Heavens and trample the Heavenly Court before ascending.

In her previous life, Die Yue also endured immense pressure to protect the Great Wilderness and the Butterfly race.

Those few years in Ping Yang Town made her feel the most relaxed.

As such, although she almost forgot all memories of her previous life after her reincarnation, she could vaguely recall some things and planted a few peach blossom trees here.

Having fought the entire way, the two of them felt a little tired in the depths of their hearts.

Prior to this, the time the two of them actually spent together could be counted with a single hand. Furthermore, it was always accompanied by all sorts of worries and pressure.

It was only at that moment that the two of them finally obtained some time that belonged to them and cherished it.

The two of them could stay together every day and not care about the fate of their race or worry about the future. Just like that, they could live an ordinary life.

On this day.

A few children arrived under the peach blossom tree and plucked a few ripe peaches. After wiping them casually a few times, they took a huge bite and their mouths were filled with juice. They were still discussing something and were beaming with joy.

“The Heavenly Court is truly evil. They sealed the medium chiliocosm and prevented people from ascending. Thankfully, Great Emperor Desolate Martial and Great Empress Blood Butterfly were around.”

“Desolate Martial established a Dao and imparted martial arts to all living beings. How bold is that? I want to cultivate the Martial Dao in the future!”

“I wonder if I’ll have the chance to see Great Emperor Desolate Martial in the future. I feel that he’s even stronger than my father.”

“I like Great Empress Blood Butterfly. Unfortunately, she was killed by Brahma Ghost Mother. I wonder how sad Great Emperor Desolate Martial was.”

The children chattered as they ate peaches.

In the room, Su Zimo and Die Yue were surprised when they heard the voices outside.

Logically speaking, the children outside should not have the chance to know about what happened in the medium chiliocosm.

The two of them walked out.

When the children saw Su Zimo and Die Yue, they waved their arms and greeted them.

“Brother Su, Sister Die, a storyteller has arrived at the entrance of the village and is telling the story of the medium chiliocosm. It’s exciting. Aren’t you guys going to listen?”

A child asked.

A storyteller?

Su Zimo and Die Yue exchanged glances.

Lin Xuanji!

Su Zimo burst into laughter.

To think that Lin Xuanji would come to Mount Xuan Pin to tell stories after his ascension.

“Let’s go and meet this old friend.”

Su Zimo held Die Yue’s hand and followed a group of children towards the entrance of the village.

In a village on Mount Xuan Pin.

A group of children were gathered at the entrance and there were many adults who had just finished farming around them, listening to something with interest.

In the crowd, a slightly plump Daoist cultivator in a gray robe had a fair and beardless face and a small table in front of him.

The gray-robed Daoist cultivator pressed down on a wooden block with one hand and fanned himself with a folding fan with the other. He spoke eloquently and spit flew everywhere. The surrounding children did not mind and were engrossed in his words.

The gray-robed Daoist cultivator put down his wooden block and picked up his tea, taking a large sip. “I’m not bragging, Great Emperor Desolate Martial is powerful, right? Actually, I’m not inferior to him either. The two of us can be considered the most dazzling geniuses in the world!”

A child pouted. “You’re just bragging, you’re talking about the amazing Great Emperor Desolate Martial! Earlier on, when you spoke about the chaos of the primordial races, the catastrophe of the Blood Fiend and the Heaven Conquest Battle, you didn’t even appear in any of them!”

“F*ck!”

The gray-robed Daoist cultivator’s eyes widened. “Hey, kid, watch your mouth! I’m just a low profile and humble person. I assimilate into the background and don’t like to fight, that’s all!”

“If I were to attack, Desolate Martial would have no place in these stories!”

“Pfft!”

A series of boos sounded from the surrounding crowd.

Many children giggled and the adults around them smiled without saying anything.

When the gray-robed Daoist cultivator saw that everyone did not believe him, he lowered his voice mysteriously and said, “To be honest, I even saved Desolate Martial’s life before!”

“I don’t believe it!”

“You’re bragging!”

Many children hooted.

The gray-robed Daoist cultivator’s face was not red as he said proudly, “Well, I guess these are just minor details. Let’s not talk about these minor trivia of Desolate Martial then.”

“Hey, tell us! Tell us!”

When the children saw that the Daoist cultivator was beating around the bush, they became interested and shouted.

The gray-robed Daoist cultivator said leisurely, “Hehe, back when Desolate Martial’s cultivation was still weak, he sneaked into a forbidden ground to steal someone’s Dragon egg and was caught by me!”

“I’m sure all of you know the kind of person I am after interacting with me for a few days. I’m definitely a warm-hearted and chivalrous person. When I witnessed this scene, I roared…”

Just as the gray-robed Daoist cultivator was talking excitedly, he glanced from the corner of his eye and saw a man and woman standing outside the crowd, looking at him with fake smiles.

When the gray-robed Daoist cultivator saw the two of them, he shuddered in shock.

He did not expect to bump into the main character in the middle of his bragging session. In his guilt, he could not even continue.

“What happened after?”

“What were you saying?”

There was no way the children would let him off as they asked relentlessly.

The gray-robed Daoist cultivator coughed gently with a calm expression. “At that time, I merely roared—leave some for me!”

“Tsk!”

The children burst into laughter.

The gray-robed Daoist cultivator was Lin Xuanji. He stood up and pushed everyone away, running towards Su Zimo and Die Yue with a surprised and excited expression. He rubbed his hands and smiled. “Wow, isn’t this a coincidence? Haha!”

Su Zimo was delighted to see his old friend as well and went forward to give Lin Xuanji a bear hug.

“Storyteller, you know Brother Su and Sister Die?”

A child asked curiously.

Lin Xuanji rolled his eyes and guessed right away that the people here did not know that Su Zimo and Die Yue were the Great Emperor Desolate Martial and Great Empress Blood Butterfly in his story.

“We’re old acquaintances.”

Lin Xuanji laughed and dealt with it casually.

“Fellow Daoist, you’re not dead?”

Lin Xuanji looked at Die Yue before looking at Su Zimo.

Su Zimo smiled gently. “It’s a long story. Let’s sit at our place and chat slowly.”

Su Zimo and Die Yue brought Lin Xuanji towards the foot of Mount Xuan Pin.

“When did you ascend? Are our old friends in the medium chiliocosm alright?”

Su Zimo asked.

When he saw Lin Xuanji, Su Zimo could not help but recall some old friends from the medium chiliocosm.

When he ascended to the major chiliocosm, Lin Xuanji, Demoness Ji, Carefree, Nian Qi, Tao Yao, Tiger and the others had yet to advance to the Emperor realm and could not ascend.

He did not know if they had managed to ascend to the major chiliocosm after all these years.

“Don’t worry.”

Lin Xuanji said, “Everyone is doing well. With that eldest disciple of yours guarding the medium chiliocosm, the Netherworld behaved itself and did not cause any trouble.”
