Chapter 1213 - Twilight Years

Chapter 1213: Twilight Years

In the inheritance ground, stone statue cemetery.

The heart of the Green Lotus True Body stirred. As though he sensed something, he woke up from his cultivation comprehension and received the information from the Dragon True Body.

Both true bodies were Su Zimo and their minds were connected – there was no difference.

The Green Lotus True Body smiled gently when it sensed the joy of the Dragon True Body.

The Dragon True Body cultivated smoothly and obtained an opportunity to become the young master of the Dragon race and reign over the five lineages. It was a firm foothold and the Green Lotus True Body no longer had to worry about his counterpart.

The Green Lotus True Body was in no hurry to enter the Dharma Characteristic realm.

Or rather, the reason why he came to the Dao Inheritance Ground was not because he wanted his cultivation to advance, but because he wanted to deduce the Martial Dao!

In truth, from the moment he arrived at the Dao Inheritance Ground, the Green Lotus True Body had already prepared for the worst.

That was... the failure of the deduction!

To create a grand Dao unlike the immortal, Buddhist and fiend Daos such that mortals without spirit roots could cultivate – how difficult was that?

Throughout history, countless wise sages and experts exhausted their entire lives to no avail.

That was the case for the Mighty Figure of Tomb Sect in the ancient battlefield as well.

However, Su Zimo was only a Dharma Characteristic Dao Lord.

He knew very well that this was a path of no return.

Since he was already on it, he could only continue until the end of his life!

However, he did not regret it.

In fact, Su Zimo was mentally prepared for the fact that his deduction would fail and his Green Lotus True Body would pass away at the end of its lifespan!

That was the worst possible as well as the most likely outcome!

Su Zimo severed his connection with his Dragon True Body and immersed himself in the cultivation technique of Half-Martial Ancestor Instant, comprehending and verifying it repeatedly.

Even though he cultivated the cultivation techniques of the immortal, Buddhist and fiend sects, he had no clue how to deduce the Martial Dao immediately.

What he wanted to do was to comprehend all the 30 odd inheritances in the cemetery and memorize them. He wanted to fuse the essence of the cultivation techniques of the immortal, Buddhist and fiend sects and find a possible path!

He wanted to find a possible path to alter fate!

Cultivation was endless.

It was the same day after day.

It had only been three years on Tianhuang Mainland, slightly more than a thousand days.

However, Su Zimo had already spent more than a thousand years in the cemetery beneath the stone statue of Half-Martial Ancestor Instant due to the flow of time there!

Prior to this, Su Zimo was only more than a hundred years old.

For Void Reversions a hundred years old was equivalent to a youth.

But now, after more than a thousand years, Su Zimo had already become a young man at the Void Reversion realm.

He had never cultivated for such a long time.

However, the thousand years were not wasted after all.

In the stone statue cemetery, he had already comprehended more than 30 ancient inheritances of the immortal, Buddhist and fiend sects, including the Immense Heaven Sea Burial Secret Manual, Apocalyptic Heavenly Fiend Manual, Great Might Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva Sutra and so on!

The Dao Inheritance Ground was a world of its own.

It was impossible for his cultivation to advance here.

Although Su Zimo’s cultivation had not improved after more than a thousand years, his combat strength had already reached an extremely terrifying level after comprehending more than 30 inheritances!

The 30 odd stone statues had been passed down from the ancient era.

Nobody had entered this place before.

Anyone who could obtain any of those inheritances would be able to dominate the world!

However, Su Zimo managed to comprehend all the inheritances here – he was the first in history!

Under normal circumstances, after obtaining an inheritance, the other stone statues would no longer view this person as their successor.

The reason why more than 30 stone statues chose Su Zimo was not only because he crossed the Three Tribulations Domain.

More than that, it was because he had established his Dao heart here 10 years ago to impart martial arts to all living beings!

Among the 30 odd stone statues, there were still remnant consciousnesses of ancient Mighty Figures.

Those remnant consciousnesses wanted to do everything they could to help Su Zimo!

After leaving behind the inheritances, the remnant consciousnesses did not disperse – they wanted to see the final outcome as well!

However, time was merciless.

Even true life could not withstand the passage of time, let alone remnant consciousnesses.

After more than a thousand years, there were only a few remnant consciousnesses that remained and accompanied Su Zimo.

It was relatively simple to comprehend those inheritances. The true difficulty lies in the deduction later on!

Su Zimo assumed a lotus position with his eyes closed. He recalled the cultivation of his life and tried his best to search for an opportunity.

Time flew like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, another thousand years passed in the stone statue cemetery!

Only slightly more than six years had passed in Tianhuang Mainland. However, Su Zimo had spent more than 2,000 years here!

After more than 2,000 years, Su Zimo was already equivalent to a middle-aged Void Reversion. His face had matured and there was a hint of age in his eyes.

In the cemetery, even the few remnant consciousnesses that remained and accompanied him dissipated with indignance.

In the end, they could not endure through it.

Su Zimo’s eyes were slightly red as he bowed deeply towards the 30 odd stone statues. “Seniors, don’t worry. Even if I have to exhaust my lifespan, I’ll definitely deduce a Martial Dao and change the fates of the masses!”

Nobody answered him.

He was the only one left in the cemetery.

It was as though he was going to be alone on that path for all eternity!

Su Zimo took a deep breath and composed himself before continuing to deduce.

He had gained quite a bit in the past thousand years and had found some clues.

Actually, it was impossible to create a complete Martial Dao.

His cultivation realm was only at the Void Reversion realm.

However, it was relatively easier if he merely wanted to allow mortals without spirit roots to cultivate.

Su Zimo did not have a spirit root and started off with demonic cultivation.

There was an extremely important realm for both immortality and demonic cultivation – core formation!

It was similar to how the different Daos were different means to the same end.

Core formation was an insurmountable realm!

After forming a core, one could form their Yin Spirit through demonic cultivation.

Immortal cultivators could create Essence Spirits that were similar.

In other words, if he could create a cultivation technique and allow mortals without spirit roots to form their cores without taking on demon form, it would be equivalent to settling the most critical aspect of deducing the Martial Dao!

That was because one would cultivate an Essence Spirit after forming a core.

The cultivation of an Essence Spirit would break free from the shackles of the spirit root and one would be able to comprehend Heaven and Earth with their Essence Spirit!

Su Zimo continued to deduce based on that line of thought.

Time slowly passed.

In the blink of an eye, another thousand years passed.

Su Zimo stood motionlessly at the foot of the stone statue. His body was covered in dust and his original green robes could no longer be seen.

It had only been nine years in the outside world.

However, Su Zimo was already more than 3,000 years old!

Over the years, he had never rested and had been constantly deducing and comprehending.

He failed countless times but he never gave up.

Time continued to pass.

In the blink of an eye, another thousand years passed!

Su Zimo was already more than 4,000 years old!

The lifespan of a Void Reversion was only 5,000 years.

At more than 4,000 years old, it meant that he was in his later years and his blood qi was starting to deteriorate, entering a twilight state!

At that moment, Su Zimo’s hair had already turned grayish-white and rested on his shoulders.

There were also some wrinkles on his face.

The cruelty of time was unstoppable!
