Chapter 2043: Secret News

Translator: Legge

The City Lord of Dragon Abyss City, Xu Shi, had once told Su Zimo that in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain or even the entire Heavenly World, the major sects could be divided into three levels.

Black, earth and heaven grades.

There were only four heaven-grade immortal sects in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain—Mountain Sea Immortal Sect, Imperial Wind Temple, Heaven and Earth Academy and Flying Immortal Sect.

Back in the abyss of the Dragon Abyss Star, Su Zimo’s Essence Spirit entered the dragon corpse and reanimated it, interacting with the experts of those sects.

The Sect Masters of heaven-grade sects were all Immortal Kings.

Beneath heaven was earth.

Sect Masters of earth-grade sects were usually at the Perfected Immortal realm.

The most common ones were black-grade sects where the Sect Masters were usually Heaven Immortals.

Astral Sect was a black-grade sect.

Su Zimo thought to himself that rather than hiding outside in fear, he might as well hide in a sect and cultivate.

Black-grade sects like this were way too common in the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom.

Even if Prince Yuan Zuo hunted everywhere and came to a black-grade sect, he could not search the disciples one by one.

The guards of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom guarded the major cities and fortresses and searched everywhere—they were already at their limits.

It was impossible for them to run into a black-grade sect and search wantonly. At most, they would just pass down a wanted notice.

Right now, the most important thing for Su Zimo was to cultivate in seclusion and raise his cultivation realm.

When he came out of the Essence Spirit Mine this time round, he entered the Ten Absolute Hell and the Emperor’s Tomb. He experienced many battles and witnessed too many experts fight and barely survived along the way.

Those comprehension experiences were his most precious experiences.

Furthermore, he had already accumulated a large number of spirit pills, Essence Spirit Stones and other cultivation resources in his storage bag casually along the way.

He had just broken through to the Level 1 Earth Essence realm. As long as he had sufficient resources and time, his cultivation could advance continuously without encountering much obstacles.

Most importantly, Su Zimo had benefited way too much in the past year!

Breaking through to the Earth Essence realm was secondary.

In the Ten Absolute Hell, he obtained the Void Thunder Manual.

Although he inherited the Thunder Emperor’s inheritance directly and could comprehend many things without even cultivating, there were still some insights that he had to comprehend himself.

In the Emperor’s Tomb, the third wall of the Hell Suppression Tripod was repaired.

He had yet to cultivate a secret skill imparted to him by the Black Tortoise Sacred Soul.

He did not comprehend the Prajna Nirvana Sutra on the third tripod wall either.

There was also the mysterious Trinity Auspicious Jade.

This treasure accompanying the Green Lotus True Body had endless uses.

Up till now, Su Zimo had only discovered one of those abilities.

If he wanted to cultivate and comprehend the secrets within, he would require a long period of seclusion cultivation!

The path of cultivation was long. Even if one was lucky and had endless opportunities, those with extraordinary talent could not succeed overnight.

Although the grade of Astral Sect was not high, it was suitable for Su Zimo to lay low and wait for an opportunity.

At that thought, Su Zimo carried the wine jar and flew through the air, swaying towards the few people who spoke earlier on.

“Hey, those few over there!”

Before Su Zimo got close, he shouted from afar, exhaling the smell of wine and cursing, “Bloody hell, I’m referring to the few of you!”

Now that he had changed his appearance, his words and actions had to change as well so that no one would see through him.

The few cultivators on the other side looked up and saw an ugly cultivator smelling of wine walking over from afar. All of them revealed disgusted expressions.

However, the older cultivator among them had a calm expression and whispered, “This is an Earth Immortal. Everyone, be careful not to anger him.”

“Greetings, Exalted Immortal,”

The older cultivator stood still and bowed to Su Zimo.

Although the other young cultivators were unwilling, they bowed as well.

Su Zimo glanced at the few people on the ground with an intoxicated expression. With a prideful expression, he burped and asked, “How do I get to Astral Sect?”

A few young cultivators, especially the female cultivator, lowered their heads slightly with disgusted expressions. In fact, they did not even want to look at Su Zimo.

The older cultivator smiled and said, “Exalted Immortal, follow this path and head east for more than 2,000 kilometers. That’s the location of Astral Sect.”

“There are seven peaks in Astral Sect that are the most striking and easy to identify.”

“Bloody hell, I actually got lost,”

Su Zimo cursed and took another mouthful of strong wine before swaying towards the east.

The older cultivator heaved a sigh of relief.

“Where did this drunkard come from? How disgusting,” A young man spat.

“Brother Liu, our family clan is rather strong in the vicinity of Cangyu City. Why should we be afraid of an alcoholic?” A young girl asked.

The older cultivator shook his head. “When you travel outside, you must not underestimate anyone. Even though he looks like he’s dead drunk, who knows what methods he has and what status he has?”

“All these years, there have always been some aristocratic families in Solar Luna County that would send their talented clansmen to join Astral Sect. This person might also be from some aristocratic family.”

Another person asked, “Brother Liu, are the rumors about Astral Sect true? Is there really a cultivation technique comparable to a Taboo Mystic Classic hidden in this black-grade sect?”

“That saying has been passed down for a long time and I don’t know if it’s true,”

The older cultivator said, “It’s said that many years ago, an extraterritorial King came to Divine Firmament Mainland and started a massacre. Among the Immortal Kings, no one was his match! Eventually, an Immortal Emperor attacked and killed him in that mountain range.”

“Thereafter, the terrain of the mountain range changed and seven mountain peaks rose against the tide, reaching the skies. The surrounding mountains rose and formed the current Astral Sect.”

“Ever since then, there have been all sorts of legends in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain. The most widely spread one was that the extraterritorial King died and left his inheritance in that mountain range. Some people said that it was a cultivation technique called the Exalted Mystic Spirit. I can’t remember its name either.”

Everyone behind him was engrossed and someone asked, “What happened after that?”

The older cultivator smiled. “Later on, many cultivators came to this mountain range, wanting to inherit the inheritance of this extraterritorial King and search for that ethereal cultivation technique.”

“I heard that in the beginning, cultivators from the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain, Nine Firmament Immortal Domain, even the Pure Land of Bliss and Fiend Domain came to obtain this opportunity.”

“However, in the end, they returned empty-handed.”

“Some people were unwilling to leave and guarded that mountain range all day long. Later on, they gradually developed into a sect and became the current Astral Sect.”

“When Astral Sect was first established, there were even Perfected Immortals presiding over it.”

“However, as time passed by and the first generation aged without anyone obtaining any opportunities, the number of cultivators that came to Astral Sect decreased.”

“Up till now, only some aristocratic families in our Solar Luna County will send some disciples over. Actually, we don’t bear much hope. Just take it as a training expedition.”

Everyone sighed when they heard that.

The older cultivator shrugged his shoulders and shook his head with a smile. “Actually, those are just rumors. I even heard that the King who died back then did not come from another territory, but another world instead!”

“Another world?”

Everyone was stunned.

The older cultivator said, “He’s not someone from our Heavenly World, but a King of another world.”
