Su Zimo looked around.
The Grand Primordium Ancient Temple had already left Jade Toad Ridge with them.
Su Zimo took out some elixirs to recover his Essence Spirit from his storage bag and consumed them before resting for a moment.
Thereafter, he grabbed a random Mystic Mist Eagle from the surrounding forest and used it as his leg strength to head towards the bamboo forest where Yan Beichen lived in seclusion.
That way, he could recuperate and recover his strength while traveling.
The Mystic Mist Eagle tore through the clouds at an extremely fast speed and flew extremely steadily.
Su Zimo sat on the back of the Mystic Mist Eagle and recuperated while recalling his bizarre experience.
The trip to the Grand Primordium Ancient Temple this time round was a calamity for most cultivators.
Of the more than five thousand cultivators that entered, less than ten would have made it out alive!
However, for Su Zimo, it was a turnaround and he obtained an unimaginable opportunity!
Until now, he still could not understand why the Blood Demon Dao Lord would suddenly change his mind and let him go. Furthermore, he returned the complete Mingwang Prayer Beads to him!
The Mingwang Prayer Beads were of great significance to Su Zimo.
It had an extremely obvious increase in his combat strength as well.
That was because the two lost Buddha Beads contained the two strongest Dharmic seals of the Daming Dharmic Seal, the Great Vajra Wheel Seal and the Great Mount Meru Seal!
According to Monk Yuan Bei, those two Dharmic seals were the strongest and were extremely ferocious!
Furthermore, the combination of the six Dharmic seals would produce an even stronger Dharmic art!
Su Zimo rubbed the Mingwang Prayer Beads gently and his heart skipped a beat as he recalled the way the white-robed man looked at the Mingwang Prayer Beads …
The change in the white-robed man's attitude towards him seemed to be after he saw the Mingwang Prayer Beads as well!
"What's the relationship between the Blood Demon Dao Lord and the Mingwang Prayer Beads?"
Su Zimo murmured, "It's more likely that Monk Daming is related to the Mingwang Prayer Beads …"
Suddenly!
Su Zimo's voice came to an abrupt halt.
His eyes widened as he thought of an extremely terrifying and absurd possibility!
Could it be that the white-robed man he saw was not the Blood Demon Dao Lord, but Monk Daming?
This speculation was too shocking.
However, now that Su Zimo had recovered his energy, his thoughts were gradually becoming clearer. When he recalled what had happened in the hall, he couldn't help but think in this direction!
The white-robed man was able to cultivate four Buddhist Dharma Idols, the Four Guardian Vajras.
Furthermore, the reason why his attainments in Buddhism were so terrifying might be because the white-robed man was Monk Daming!
In fact, there were many traces of Buddhism on the white-robed man.
Su Zimo's first impression was that the white-robed man was the Blood Demon Dao Lord. The main reason was that the white-robed man knew the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra.
However, this did not prove that the white-robed man was the Blood Demon Dao Lord.
That was because Su Zimo knew it as well!
He had not been trapped in the stone coffin for long before he understood the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra. It was only normal for the white-robed man to learn the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra after being trapped in the stone coffin for 40,000 years.
More importantly, Su Zimo recalled something.
The white-robed man admitted that he had met Su Zimo once.
In fact, he even admitted that he was the skeleton that revived from the underground fiend palace more than a hundred years ago!
However, right from the beginning, the white-robed man had never admitted that he was the Blood Demon Dao Lord!
The white-robed man once said, "Fiends can become Buddhas and Buddhas can become fiends. There's no difference between the two."
Now that he thought about it, he seemed to have said that from the bottom of his heart!
That was the only explanation that made sense. Why did the white-robed man's attitude change when he heard that Su Zimo was the successor of Daming Monastery?
He even took out his two Buddha Beads and returned the complete set of Mingwang Prayer Beads to Su Zimo!
Even if Monk Daming had turned into a fiend …
He had an unforgettable feeling towards Daming Monastery!
For more than a hundred years, the Grand Primordium Ancient Temple had appeared many times in Tianhuang Mainland. However, it had never been to the North Region – it was most likely because it wanted to avoid Daming Monastery.
However, the white-robed man did not know that Daming Monastery was already a thing of the past.
Furthermore, given Monk Daming's seniority, there was a high chance that he knew Monk Yuan Bei!
That was perhaps the only old friend that he knew.
"Is that true?"
Su Zimo murmured with a lost expression.
Even if he thought of that possibility, he was unwilling to believe it in the depths of his heart.
40,000 years ago, the titular disciple of Daming Monastery, the benevolent Monk Daming who wanted to suppress the Blood Demon Dao Lord and save the masses, actually ended up in his current state?
Actually, Su Zimo already had an answer in his heart.
That was because he had cultivated the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra before as well.
To be precise, he had only cultivated a few Dharmic arts from the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra.
Even so, he nearly fell into the fiend Dao and became a bloodthirsty fiend!
Each time he channeled the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra, he would develop a reliance on this cultivation technique.
The feeling of being able to obtain endless power through bloodthirst was truly inextricable!
Of course, deep in his heart, Su Zimo still believed that the white-robed man had not truly become a fiend like the Blood Demon Dao Lord.
At the very least, the white-robed man still had a sense of longing and nostalgia towards Daming Monastery.
Otherwise, the white-robed man would not have returned the complete Mingwang Prayer Beads to him or let him leave.
Perhaps in the white-robed man's heart, he was no longer worthy of carrying this Dharmic weapon of Daming Monastery and that was the reason why he handed it to Su Zimo.
Of course, all of this was merely Su Zimo's speculation.
There were still some doubts that were difficult to explain.
For example, if the white-robed man was Monk Daming, why was he locked in that stone coffin?
Who was the one who carved the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra in the stone coffin?
Could all of this be the doing of the Blood Demon Dao Lord?
What was the Blood Demon Dao Lord's motive for doing so?
There was also the most important question – was the Blood Demon Dao Lord still alive?
Su Zimo could not help but recall the blood-colored human face that appeared in the Thousand Year Blood Sea in Thousand Demon Valley.
Of course, there were still some unexplainable things.
If the white-robed man was Monk Daming, it would have been 40,000 years since then!
How could Monk Daming live for 40,000 years after being trapped in the stone coffin?
Even if there were Mingwang Prayer Beads in the stone coffin that were made from Soul Nurturing Wood and could nurture one's Essence Spirit, it could not extend a cultivator's lifespan.
There must be something else that Su Zimo had not considered.
After thinking so much and sorting out his speculations, a day and night had passed before he knew it.
Coupled with superior-grade elixirs, Qinglian's true body had mostly recovered.
"Go on,"
Su Zimo stood up and tapped the Mystic Mist Eagle beneath him with the tip of his foot. He gave it a few bottles of elixirs and a Dharmic weapon.
Upon receiving the reward, the Mystic Mist Eagle could not help but cry into the skies and the resentment in its heart was swept away.
Su Zimo smiled – no matter how fast the Mystic Mist Eagle was, it could not compare to him!
His figure turned into a streak of golden light and fled into the distance.
Su Zimo had to return to the bamboo forest as soon as possible to hand the Nine Revolutions Soul Return Elixir to Yan Beichen.
