Eternal Sacred King Chapter 407 - Fog Valley

Chapter 407: Fog Valley

That piece of news was enough to stir up the entire ancient battlefield. In fact, it would cause a stir in the cultivation world as well after they left the ancient battlefield.

Theoretically, everyone should start to discuss and wonder about who obtained the Saber Emperor’s inheritance thereafter.

However, at that moment, everyone went silent.

That was because someone among them had just admitted to obtaining the Saber Emperor’s inheritance!

If both events had happened separately with some time in between, no one would have connected the dots.

But now that someone had just admitted to it, the news spread to the city! Everyone looked towards Su Zimo instinctively with strange expressions.

Was it for real?

It was a fleeting thought as everyone denied it internally right after.

The Saber Mountain Spirit Sea was formed in the ancient era. Since then, countless geniuses had attempted and yet, only a single person had managed to pa.s.s the test and obtain the inheritance.

It was obvious how difficult it was.

It was not ridiculous to call the fiend sect cultivator a thousand years ago a peerless paragon!

Could a peerless paragon exist among their midst as well?

It was a mysterious and surreal feeling.

“Everyone, I’ll go check on Xiaoning.”

Right then, Su Zimo spoke and bid farewell with cupped fists before floating off.

After Su Zimo was far away, Feng Manman suddenly asked, “Xiao Yu, do you think that he was speaking the truth?”

“I have no idea as well.”

Tang Yu chuckled bitterly and shook her head.

…

For the next period of time, news of Poison Sect being destroyed was taken over completely by the news of the Saber Mountain Spirit Sea vanis.h.i.+ng.

Nearly everyone in Xuantian City was discussing who the cultivator who obtained the Saber Emperor’s inheritance was. While everyone had different sayings and guesses, none of them had an accurate answer.

Among them, there were people who said that a green-robed cultivator obtained the inheritance.

That saying did not mean anything much to outsiders.

However, Tang Yu and the others thought of Su Zimo instantly the moment they heard that.

However, Su Zimo had been in seclusion during this period of time and Tang Yu did not have the chance to verify the facts.

As time pa.s.sed by, the atmosphere in Xuantian City became more tense.

Recently, many foreign faces appeared in the city and they possessed extraordinary strength.

The seal of Elixir Pool Sect was about to disperse!

Previously, things were relatively fine between the major factions in Xuantian City.

However, once the seal was dispelled and treasures revealed themselves, it would definitely bring about an apocalyptic and b.l.o.o.d.y battle royale!

This day, an Elixir Yang Sect disciple knocked on Su Zimo’s door, requesting for him to gather at the Front Hall.

Su Zimo sat in a lotus position on his bed with Blood Quencher placed horizontally before him. Letting out a deep breath, he opened his eyes that shone clear as water with a calm expression.

He knew that Tang Yu would not disturb him unless necessary.

Now that they were knocking on his door, it was most likely because something big was happening at the Elixir Pool Sect ruins!

Descending to the ground, Su Zimo followed the Elixir Yang Sect disciple and arrived at the Front Hall before long.

The Front Hall was already filled with people by now.

At a single glance, there were close to a thousand people!

Su Zimo finally understood what was meant by a major sect.

Before entering the ancient battlefield, the Emperor of Great Zhou mentioned that the Great Zhou Dynasty’s strength was enough to teleport fifty cultivators at most.

However, some of Tianhuang Mainland’s top factions could send hundreds to thousands of cultivators into the ancient battlefield!

As one of the four unorthodox groups, although Elixir Yang Sect wasn’t specialized in combat, their sect had strong foundations and mighty figures to support them – that was why they could send more than a thousand cultivators in!

The difference between them was like Heaven and Earth.

Tang Yu nodded in greeting when she saw Su Zimo enter.

Unlike his ordinary self, Uncle Liang who was behind Tang Yu took the initiative to smile at Su Zimo as well.

Ji Chengtian and Xiaoning had arrived long ago.

Suddenly, Su Zimo felt a hostile intent and could not help but frown. Turning around, he glared over without being subtle.

It was Yan Jun!

Ten days ago, Yan Jun fainted after receiving a slap from Su Zimo.

In reality, Yan Jun was not severely injured because Su Zimo showed mercy. Thanks to the miraculous elixirs of Elixir Yang Sect, Yan Jun recovered within a couple of days.

When he saw Su Zimo looking in his direction, Yan Jun turned away hurriedly and avoided the former’s gaze, looking somewhat s.h.i.+fty and fearful.

“Everyone,”

Right then, Tang Yu’s voice sounded and the chatter in the crowd softened gradually to silence.

Tang Yu said in a deep voice, “In at most two days, the seal of Elixir Pool Sect will be dispelled entirely. At that time, a cruel battle awaits everyone. Please be prepared.”

“Elixir Pool Sect is located in a valley 5 kilometers south of Xuantian City. Due to its terrain, the valley is covered in fog that cannot be dispersed throughout the year and visibility is extremely low. That is also the reason why the Elixir Pool Sect ruins haven’t been discovered till now.”

These were extremely valuable news and everyone listened attentively.

“The dispelling of the Elixir Pool Sect’s ruins’ seal does not mean that we can have a smooth journey and arrive safely. According to the scouting of a few junior brothers, the valley is home to many pure-blooded ferocious beasts, ancient remnant beasts and extinct ancient lifeforms with terrifying strength!”

“The lifespan of demon beasts is much longer than that of humans. These pure-blooded ferocious beasts have not been able to form Inner Cores due to the rules of the ancient battlefield. However, their strengths are at the peak of Foundation Establishment and they are extremely terrifying!”

Su Zimo furrowed his brows slightly.

Through those simple statements, he could tell how dangerous it was and that the situation was not to be underestimated!

First, although they had the advantage in numbers with close to a thousand cultivators, they could not compare with the pure-blooded ferocious beasts and ancient lifeforms that have resided and reproduced in the ancient battlefield for countless years!

Second, this place was deep in the ancient battlefield. Pure-blooded ferocious beasts aside, even the most ordinary ancient lifeforms possessed terrifying strength!

Third, environment.

The environment was extremely unfavorable for them.

The intelligence of those pure-blooded ferocious beasts was not inferior to humans.

The reason why they rarely attacked the city was because they knew that the humans had the terrain advantage and they couldn’t win.

However, the situation was reversed this time round.

The demon beasts had the terrain advantage!

All the factions had limited knowledge about the valley and did not know much about the terrain within. However, these demon beasts that had lived inside for countless years knew everything.

Apart from that, there was an even scarier reality – night!

Tang Yu said, “With the fog surrounding the valley, our vision is reduced and it’s hard for us to fight at maximum strength. When night arrives, our vision of sight will be further reduced. At that time, if we’re surrounded by pure-blooded ferocious beasts…”

Tang Yu did not go on but everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

After a brief pause, Tang Yu continued, “That is why we have to enter the territory of the Elixir Pool Sect ruins before the first night! Once night falls, we will sleep in the valley forever without being able to see the light of the second day!”
