Standing in front of the library, Su Zimo suddenly recalled something.
This was his speculation regarding Monk Daming's identity!
According to the old storyteller, there were many ancient books in the library that recorded many things. If that was the case, there was a high chance that he would be able to verify it in the books!
"Senior, can I enter the library to take a look?"
Su Zimo said, "I won't look at the cultivation techniques and secret skills of Enigma Palace. I merely want to look for historical records from tens of thousands of years ago to verify some things."
"How can that do?!"
Before the old storyteller could reply, Di Ji glared and said in a deep voice, "Who are you? The library is an important place. How can an outsider like you enter so casually?!"
Lin Xuanji pursed his lips. "Senior Brother, stop talking. Didn't an outsider enter earlier on and even steal the Xuantian Record?"
"If anyone from Enigma Palace finds out about this, it'll definitely cause a huge uproar."
Di Ji's face flushed red from being mocked. However, he still argued, "That's different! Since you've already made a mistake, you can't repeat it! "
"That's enough,"
The old storyteller waved it off and nodded to Su Zimo. "Of course, you're qualified to take a look. However, there are many books in the library and the historical records are as vast as the sea. Why don't you tell me which year you want to take a look and let Xuanji bring you there directly? That way, you won't have to waste your effort searching for it."
"About 30,000 to 40,000 years ago,"
Su Zimo replied ambiguously.
"Alright,"
The old storyteller looked at Lin Xuanji. "Bring Araki Takeshi in."
The old storyteller glanced sideways and smiled when he saw that Demoness Ji was also curious. "If you're curious, follow me in and take a look as well."
"Master, you mustn't do that!"
Di Ji could not hold it in and stood out once more, saying in a deep voice, "It's one thing for you to make an exception once, but how can you do it again and again? Where are the rules of the sect?"
"She's the successor of Ancestral Master Linglong. Do you think she's qualified?"
The old storyteller glared at Di Ji and asked with a huff.
Di Ji was taken aback. He stammered, "Then, then he should be qualified."
"Brat, are you trying to ascend to the heavens?!"
The old storyteller pointed at Earth Machine's nose and scolded him, "How dare you come out and tell me what to do now! How dare you talk to me about the rules of the sect! "
On the other side, Lin Xuanji waved to Su Zimo and Demoness Ji. "Let's go, I'll bring you guys in."
After being scolded by the old storyteller, Earth Machine had completely wilted. He was so scared that he did not even dare to breathe loudly.
As for the old storyteller, he looked at the backs of Su Zimo and the other two. He stroked the three locks of long beard on his chest and muttered softly, "The major event from 30,000 to 40,000 years ago … The battle between the Blood Demon and Monk Daming?"
In the Book Collection Palace.
There was a stone pillar that reached the heavens. It was so thick that it would require dozens of people to wrap their arms around it. It stood in the middle of the hall and connected the entire library!
Many ancient books were placed around the stone pillars. They were densely packed together.
There were even more ancient books and bamboo slips on the walls of the hall.
Lin Xuanji was rather familiar with this place and led Su Zimo and Demoness Ji in, stopping after dozens of steps.
"The approximate events that happened 30,000 and 40,000 years ago are recorded in these ancient books. Take a look."
Lin Xuanji pointed to an ancient book on the wall and said.
"Thank you,"
Su Zimo thanked him and walked forward, picking up an ancient book casually and browsing through it.
Demoness Ji leaned forward and picked up a book as well, reading it.
After a long time, Demoness Ji was a little impatient.
Initially, she came in to take a look out of curiosity. Who knew that the contents were so boring that she lost interest after a casual glance.
However, Su Zimo was still browsing through it bit by bit, as though he was searching for something.
Demoness Ji did not leave either. She accompanied him quietly at the side and picked up an ancient book casually to pass the time.
On the other side, Su Zimo flipped open another ancient book. After flipping through a few pages, he suddenly paused!
The ancient book recorded the battle between the Blood Demon Dao Lord and Monk Daming 40,000 years ago!
The records of that battle were similar to what Monk Yuan Bei said.
The two of them fought three times without a victor being decided.
After the final battle, both of them went missing. Their fate was unknown and their whereabouts were unknown. To date, they had not appeared and should have died long ago!
What Su Zimo wanted to see was not that battle.
It was about the background of Monk Daming.
There was a sentence recorded in that ancient book.
"Monk Daming is not human, but a remnant of the Heavenly Eye race. He was abandoned by the Heavenly Eye race and was later taken in by Daming Monastery."
True enough!
That sentence confirmed Su Zimo's guess on Six Star Mountain!
Monk Daming was not human, but of the Heavenly Eye race!
Back when he met Monk Daming for the first time in the Grand Primordium Ancient Temple, Su Zimo vaguely saw a blood scar on Monk Daming's glabella.
However, the blood scar was covered by Monk Daming's long hair and was not obvious.
It was only when he witnessed Monk Daming fighting against the Blood Vine race's Half-Martial Ancestor on Six Star Mountain that he saw it clearly!
That blood scar was way too similar to the Heavenly Eye of the Heavenly Eye race!
That was also the reason why the blood scar was able to defend against Qinglian's sword and the Essence Spirit secret skill of the Blood Vine race's Half-Martial Ancestor!
That was because the Heavenly Eye was the strongest method of the Heavenly Eye race to begin with!
In that case, Monk Daming had not truly used his trump card, the Heavenly Eye.
He was merely defending with his Heavenly Eye.
It was hard to imagine how terrifying the apocalyptic scene would be if that Heavenly Eye were to open and release an attack!
At the same time, that resolved another doubt in Su Zimo's mind.
The skeleton in the stone coffin deep underground back then was Monk Daming.
However, Monk Daming was someone from 40,000 years ago!
Monk Daming had been trapped in the underground stone coffin for 40,000 years. Even a Conjoint Body Mighty Figure with a lifespan of 20,000 years would have exhausted their lifespans and died a long time ago, let alone Dharma Daojun!
However, Monk Daming did not die. Instead, he appeared out of nowhere in this generation!
Although the Mingwang Prayer Beads played a part in that, there was no way Monk Daming could have lived for more than 40,000 years.
Today, Su Zimo finally understood.
That was because Monk Daming was not human to begin with, but of the Heavenly Eye race.
Even though he was a remnant of the Heavenly Eye race, his lifespan at the Dharma Characteristic realm far exceeded that of humans. That was the reason why he could last for 40,000 years in the stone coffin!
After resolving that mystery, Su Zimo was prepared to leave.
Right then, he swept his gaze and caught sight of the ancient book in Demoness Ji's hands. His heart skipped a beat as he asked, "What's recorded in that ancient book of yours?"
"Nothing much. There was a change in the fiend sects 20,000 years ago."
Demoness Ji shrugged and replied casually.
"20,000 years ago!"
Su Zimo's eyes lit up. "Let me take a look."
According to the timeline, there was a Tribulation of Ten Thousand Demons 30,000 years ago.
There was a war in the Great Qian Empire 10,000 years ago.
In that case, something major might have happened 20,000 years ago!
