Chapter 1774: Farewell
After the end of the battle of Blood Fiend, Tianhuang Mainland finally welcomed a long-awaited period of peace. The ten thousand races recuperated and recovered their vitality in a peaceful manner.
For the past 40,000 years, due to the baptism of many calamities in Tianhuang Mainland, coupled with the endless fighting in the cultivation world, countless sects lost their legacies.
Among the immortal, Buddhist and fiend sects alone, some super sects were destroyed.
As for those sects, they left behind some seeds that began to establish new sects in Tianhuang Mainland to take in disciples.
After pondering for a long time, Su Zimo did not choose to leave the subsequent cultivation techniques of the Martial Dao on Tianhuang Mainland.
It was not that he could not bear to. It was just that even he did not know if this Dao would work and what the future would be like.
It was enough to inherit the Nine Transformations of the Martial Dao.
For mortals without spirit roots, as long as they could cultivate to the Sixth Transformation of the Nine Transformations of the Martial Dao, they could cultivate any Dao techniques of the immortal, Buddhist and fiend sects and had a bright future ahead.
However, the path ahead of the Martial Dao was dark.
Only the Martial Dao Prime Body had the determination and will to travel alone!
Of course, as Su Zimo’s eldest disciple, Beiming Xue was still summoned to his side to make her choice.
Without hesitation, Beiming Xue chose the unknown future of the Martial Dao!
Su Zimo did not hide anything and imparted the essence of the Martial Dao, including the latest Fate Ring Secret Ground, to Beiming Xue.
In the following period of time, Su Zimo was in no hurry to leave. Instead, he gathered with many old friends and bid farewell to them one by one.
The capital of Great Zhou.
A woman in a pale yellow dress stood in front of the stone steps of the palace with elegant green-robed scholars beside her.
The two of them chatted casually, exchanging glances and smiles from time to time.
After more than a thousand years, the appearance of the woman and the scholar did not change much.
The woman looked at the scholar with the same gentleness as before.
However, both their statuses had undergone a tremendous change!
Right now, the woman was the Empress of the Great Zhou Empire, the most noble person in the North Region!
Although her cultivation was not high and she was only at the Void Reversion realm, her status was comparable to the sect masters of the North Region and even the super sects of Tianhuang Mainland!
The scholar was no longer the little cultivator who was hunted down everywhere in the past. Instead, he was the Eternal Martial Emperor who was respected by the ten thousand races and was renowned throughout the world!
Of course, no matter how noble the Empress was, she could not stand shoulder to shoulder with the Emperor cultivators.
Let alone the Eternal Martial Emperor!
If anyone were to see the Eternal Martial Emperor standing shoulder to shoulder with the Empress of Great Zhou in the palace and smiling, they would definitely be shocked!
Although the identity of the woman and the scholar had changed significantly, there was no barrier between them when they interacted.
“Are you leaving?”
Turning to look at the scholar’s side profile, Ji Yaoxue smiled and asked softly.
“Yes,”
Su Zimo nodded.
Ji Yaoxue smiled. “Go to the upper world. There are still people waiting for you there.”
Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat as he turned to look at Ji Yaoxue with a conflicted expression.
“In truth, I’ve thought about what that person will be like. The one whom you can’t forget and often dream about,”
With a relaxed expression, Ji Yaoxue teased, “It was only when she appeared that I understood. Even I would fancy such a peerless woman who looks down on the world.”
Initially, Su Zimo’s heart felt heavy.
However, when he saw Ji Yaoxue’s smile, the sadness in his heart faded slightly.
Ji Yaoxue reached out and patted Su Zimo on the shoulder gently. “Alright, don’t be like this. It’s not like we’re going to part forever. Once you reach the upper world, cultivate well and come back to visit me… and other old friends if you have the chance.”
Su Zimo was silent.
Once he was in the upper world, it was almost impossible for him to descend again.
The Human Emperor had ascended for countless years. Even with his cultivation, he nearly died when he forcefully descended.
It would take countless years for Su Zimo to surpass the Human Emperor.
The lifespan of a Void Reversion was only 5,000 years.
At that time, even if he possessed the strength to descend to the lower world, everything would have changed.
Furthermore, everything in the upper world was unknown and dangerous.
Su Zimo knew that there was a high chance that this farewell would be forever!
“Yaoxue…”
Su Zimo lowered his head and spoke gently, as though he wanted to say something.
Ji Yaoxue pursed her lips and looked at Su Zimo quietly with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
After a long silence, Su Zimo sighed internally. “I’m leaving. Take care.”
“You too,”
Ji Yaoxue said softly.
Taking a deep breath of air, Su Zimo did not think further and turned to leave. Before long, he disappeared above the Great Zhou’s palace.
Ji Yaoxue stood on the spot and looked in the direction where Su Zimo left. She could no longer suppress the reluctance and sadness in her heart and her vision gradually blurred.
“Someone is waiting for him in the upper world, but isn’t it the same in the lower world?”
Right then, a voice sounded from behind Ji Yaoxue.
Ji Yaoxue looked a little flustered as she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes hurriedly, as though she was afraid that her thoughts might be exposed. Thereafter, she turned back.
Not far away, a slender girl in pink stood.
After all these years, Demoness Ji did not seem to have grown up and still looked like a young girl. However, she was filled with an irresistible charm.
“Yan’er, what are you talking about?”
Ji Yaoxue said.
Demoness Ji replied, “Sister, I know you the best. You don’t seem to care, but you can’t bear to.”
Ji Yaoxue was silent.
A long time later, she said softly, “So what if he can’t bear to? He wants to ascend to the upper world and we’ll probably never meet again.”
“Yan’er, when are you going to attempt Tribulation Transcendence to ascend?”
Ji Yaoxue changed the topic and suddenly asked.
“I haven’t become an Empress yet, it’s still early,”
Demoness Ji smiled and came to Ji Yaoxue’s side. She held the latter’s arm and smiled. “I can still accompany you for many years, unlike that heartless person.”
“You…”
Ji Yaoxue smiled and extended her finger, tapping Demoness Ji on the forehead gently.
“Sister, you don’t have to be sad,”
Demoness Ji continued, “I’ll take you to watch him undergo Tribulation Transcendence a while later! Hmph, at that time, he’ll definitely be struck by the Heavenly Tribulation badly and his soul might even dissipate! We’ll take that as revenge for you!”
“Ah!”
Ji Yaoxue was shocked and asked hurriedly, “Is Tribulation Transcendence that dangerous?”
At that point, Demoness Ji turned serious as well and retracted her smile. “Tribulation Transcendence is indeed extremely dangerous and there’s a high chance of death.”
“In the ancient books of the fiend sects, there are many examples of failed tribulations.”
“Actually, over the years, many people in Tianhuang Mainland could have chosen to undertake the Tribulation Transcendence. However, no one dared to take the risk.”
“This time round, all the living beings of the ten thousand races know that the Martial Emperor will definitely choose to undergo the Tribulation Transcendence and ascend! Therefore, many experts are waiting to watch the Martial Emperor undergo the Tribulation Transcendence so that they can gain some experience.”
