Su Zimo turned around slowly and looked at the valley behind him.
Suddenly, he recalled something.
Back when he first arrived at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley, he wanted to see what was at the bottom of the valley and walked along the cliffs towards the depths of the valley.
The valley was winding and he saw corpses strewn all over the ground before long.
Thereafter, he was haunted by malevolent spirits and nearly died. Thankfully, Ming Zhen arrived in time to save him.
Ever since then, he had not been to the end of the valley.
Now that that question flashed through his mind, Su Zimo pondered for a moment before walking along the craggy walls towards the depths of the valley once more.
Before long, he saw the same scene as before.
Corpses were strewn all over the ground!
In fact, some of their bodies were perfectly preserved and did not decay after 10,000 years!
There were a few drops of blood splattered on the surrounding walls.
Back then, the energy contained within those few drops of blood nearly killed Su Zimo!
But now, Su Zimo merely felt a slight sense of discomfort when he looked at those few drops of blood before adjusting to it quickly.
Su Zimo paused for a moment before continuing forward.
All of a sudden!
A sinister wind blew.
Behind him, a woman with disheveled hair appeared. She wore white robes that were stained with blood and her eyes were blind as she stuck out her scarlet tongue.
More than a hundred years ago, his cultivation was crippled and he was nearly killed by this malevolent spirit.
But now, he was already at the Void Reversion realm and was addressed as a Dao Being. He was considered an expert in the cultivation world – how could he be injured by a mere malevolent spirit?!
"Humph!"
Su Zimo did not even turn back as he hollered, "How dare you show your face? I'll send you to reincarnation today!"
Whoosh!
The Mingwang Prayer Beads on his left wrist shone brightly and enveloped the white-robed female ghost instantly.
Endless golden light pierced the white-robed female ghost's body like sharp swords, creating holes one after another!
Blood flowed out of the white-robed female ghost's body!
The malevolent spirit formed by the malevolent qi here had flesh and blood!
"Ah!"
The white-robed female ghost let out a series of tragic cries and struggled in the golden light before returning to silence.
A wisp of his soul entered the cycle of reincarnation and dissipated between heaven and earth.
Su Zimo stepped on the piles of corpses and continued forward.
After this short confrontation, no evil spirits dared to come out anymore.
Before long, Su Zimo paused in his tracks.
They had already reached the end of the canyon.
Along the way, corpses were everywhere. No one knew how many cultivators had been buried here in the battle back then. The murderous aura was soaring to the heavens!
Su Zimo's gaze turned and landed on a huge crater not far away.
It was not a big deal for a huge pit to appear in the middle of these white bones.
However, this deep pit looked somewhat strange.
The soil on the surface of the pit was somewhat moist, as if it had been soaked in blood.
It was as if this enormous pit was originally filled with blood, but as time passed, the blood had dried up, leaving behind such a deep pit.
A vague thought suddenly flashed through Su Zimo's mind.
But when he tried to capture it, the thought disappeared.
There were no other abnormalities in the vicinity.
Su Zimo shook his head and turned to leave.
Before long, he returned to the old temple.
He headed to the cemetery in the backyard of the main hall. Monk Yuan Bei happened to be there as well, chanting sutras silently to release the souls in the cemetery.
When he saw Su Zimo return with a reconstructed body, Monk Yuan Bei smiled and nodded.
"Tsk, tsk. This body is truly not bad,"
The red-headed ghost's voice sounded from the depths of the cemetery as well.
The fact that the red-headed ghost praised her as such was proof of the strength of Qinglian's true body!
Su Zimo hesitated for a moment before recounting the incident with the woman he encountered beneath the Great Qian Ruins. He asked, "Master, do you know who that woman is?"
"If I'm not wrong, she should be the Princess Yufei of the Great Qian Empire back then."
Monk Yuan Bei sighed gently. "She's probably the only one left of the Great Qian Empire."
"Princess Yufei?"
Su Zimo murmured softly.
Thinking back to that woman, she was indeed worthy of being pure and innocent.
Monk Yuan Bei said, "Princess Yufei was originally a mortal. However, she was extremely beautiful and had an ethereal appearance that could topple kingdoms. When the Emperor of the Great Qian Empire met her, he was shocked and invited her into the palace to be conferred the title of Princess Yufei. From then on, the concubines of the six palaces lost their colors! "
"Although she was conferred the title of consort, the Emperor of Great Qian did not dare to offend her at all and treated her with respect the entire time. He hoped that one day, Princess Yufei would fall in love with him."
The Great Qian Empire was vast and was considered the largest faction in the North Region at that time. Within its territory, there were two major Buddhist monasteries, Daming Monastery and Fahua Monastery.
The Emperor of Great Qian could be considered as the most powerful person at that time!
Even so, he could not obtain Princess Yufei's heart.
Monk Yuan Bei said, "Princess Yufei resided deep in the palace and was unwilling to fight with the other concubines, living alone. Afraid that she would be bored, the Emperor of Great Qian captured a spirit fox to accompany her. "
When he heard that, Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat.
As though he could tell what Su Zimo was thinking, Monk Yuan Bei nodded. "The fire fox that died in the Great Qian Ruins was the spirit fox by Princess Yufei's side."
"Princess Yufei had an extremely good relationship with the spirit fox and that little fox was the spirit fox's child. That's why I reminded you not to let that little fox suffer."
Su Zimo was enlightened.
Back then, when the spirit fox died and Princess Yufei woke up, she felt guilty towards the spirit fox and most likely transferred that guilt to little fox.
In Princess Yufei's heart, little fox was probably her only family!
Su Zimo asked, "Since Princess Yufei is a mortal, how can she be so strong?"
Monk Yuan Bei said, "Princess Yufei was a mortal before she entered the palace. After entering the palace, she had the opportunity to come into contact with many cultivation Dharmic formulations. It was only then that she knew that she possessed a spirit root and was extremely talented!"
"In just 2,000 years, Princess Yufei has already entered the Conjoint Body realm!"
"Psst!"
Su Zimo gasped secretly.
Conjoint Body cultivators had a lifespan of 20,000 years!
To enter the Conjoint Body realm in 2,000 years, that cultivation speed was rather terrifying!
Pondering for a moment, Su Zimo asked, "Princess Yufei's cultivation has advanced to such an extent. I'm afraid she won't agree to the Emperor of Great Qian, right?"
Monk Yuan Bei nodded but shook his head again.
"I believe Princess Yufei is touched by the 2,000 years of waiting,"
Monk Yuan Bei said, "Otherwise, given Princess Yufei's cultivation and strength, even the Emperor of Great Qian wouldn't be able to stop her if she wanted to leave!"
"What happened after that?"
Su Zimo asked.
Monk Yuan Bei was silent for a moment as a look of sorrow flashed through his eyes.
"Later on, the Emperor of Great Qian did something that angered the heavens and caused Princess Yufei to give up completely! This matter led to the calamity 10,000 years ago, and the Grand Qian Empire was annihilated because of this! "
