Su Zimo turned back and looked at the dark cave behind him. He was bewildered.
After being stunned for a moment, Su Zimo instinctively looked at the spirit monkey.
After all, he had not been back for two years. The spirit monkey should know best what was in this cave.
Unexpectedly, when he saw Su Zimo's gaze, the spirit monkey shook his head with a puzzled look.
"Down … the cold lake, into … the cave."
At this moment, Su Zimo suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice. It was extremely weak and intermittent.
This voice appeared extremely abruptly. It was as if it rang in Su Zimo's mind out of thin air!
There was someone in the cave?
Right under the cold lake?
What kind of means was this?
Su Zimo calmed himself down and took a look at the spirit monkey.
The spirit monkey did not sense anything. There was nothing unusual.
This meant that he was the only one who heard this voice!
Su Zimo had no idea what the other party's identity was and what his motive was. He could not help but feel perturbed.
But on second thought, if not for this person, he would have died Just Now under the Wolf's Kiss.
In the worst case scenario, he would just die again.
Su Zimo pondered for a moment and did not tell the spirit monkey about this.
The spirit monkey did not hear the voice of the mysterious person. There was only one possibility. The mysterious person did not want the spirit monkey to hear it.
Moreover, it was unknown whether it would be a blessing or a curse under the cold lake. Su Zimo did not want the spirit monkey to take the risk.
"Monkey, wait here. I will go in and take a look." Su Zimo endured the excruciating pain and struggled to stand up.
"Ooh ooh!"
The spirit monkey barked a few times. It supported Su Zimo with one hand and gestured with the other, indicating that it wanted to go in together.
"Wait for me outside. I will be back soon. Don't worry."
Su Zimo added and walked slowly towards the cave.
After entering the cave, a pungent yet familiar smell hit him. Su Zimo frowned.
It was that damn monkey's feces again.
There were not many changes in the cave. Su Zimo looked around and walked directly towards the cold lake.
Layers of white mist floated on the surface of the water. It was bone-chilling.
Su Zimo didn't hesitate. He took a deep breath and jumped in.
Because he was wearing the Mystic Gold Silk Armor, Su Zimo sank very quickly.
Two years ago, he had just cultivated to the Tendons Changing section. Halfway through, the blood in his body had already shown signs of freezing.
But now, as he continued to descend, Su Zimo's bloodline surged like a tidal wave, endlessly multiplying and surging, resisting the endless cold qi.
In the blink of an eye, Su Zimo stepped on solid ground and arrived at the bottom of the cold pond.
There was a huge rock in front of him and he could finally make out the words on it.
Extreme Fire Dao Palace!
Su Zimo was shocked and choked on a mouthful of cold water.
His abdomen wriggled, and in an instant, a chill erupted. Su Zimo's body trembled slightly.
One must know that the words' Dao Palace 'were not something that anyone could use.
Jin Dan realm was Perfected Being, Nascent Soul realm was Perfected Lord and above Nascent Soul was Void Reversion. Only Void Reversions could be called Dao Beings!
There was a high chance that the owner of this Dao Palace was a Void Reversion!
Void Reversion Dao Beings were way too far away from Su Zimo.
It was said that even at Misty Peak, the Patriarch's cultivation was only at Nascent Soul realm and had yet to reach Void Reversion.
Calming himself down, Su Zimo took a few steps forward and closed in.
There was a stone door beneath the huge rock.
Hesitating for a moment, Su Zimo exerted strength with both arms and pushed the stone door.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The two stone doors opened from the middle and an ancient aura of decay gushed over.
Gritting his teeth, Su Zimo stepped into the Dao Palace.
As though it was blocked by an invisible resistance, the water of the cold pond was blocked outside and the stone door closed slowly.
After entering the Dao Palace, Su Zimo opened his mouth slightly and froze on the spot.
Unexpectedly, the space of the Dao Palace was surprisingly small and could be said to be unobstructed. In fact, it could not even compare to Su Zimo's cave abode at Misty Peak.
There were not many decorations in the Dao Palace. Facing Su Zimo was a stone bed with a man lying on it. He wore scarlet robes with the emblem of a gigantic tripod embroidered on his sleeves.
Su Zimo had never seen that emblem before.
The man revealed his side profile and looked to be in his middle age. His face was black with a sinister green tinge.
The scarlet-robed man laid there stiffly. Coupled with his greenish-black face, he looked like a corpse that had been laid out for many years – it was terrifying!
"You … don't have to be afraid. I don't have much life left and won't hurt you."
Even though the scarlet-robed man's lips did not move, Su Zimo's mind suddenly rang out with that voice.
"I'm using my spirit consciousness … to communicate with you. Just Now, the death of that wolf was also due to the power of my spirit consciousness."
Spirit consciousness!
It was said that Perfected Being Jin Dan was only able to open up his spirit consciousness and possess spirit consciousness after advancing to the Nascent Soul realm.
Spirit consciousness was another type of power that was much stronger and more terrifying than one's vision. It was all-pervasive and could detect every single hidden corner.
Against the power of spirit consciousness, the wolf that had formed a core was destroyed instantly and was as insignificant as an ant!
Su Zimo asked, "How should I address you, senior?"
"Dao Lord … Extreme Fire!"
The voice that came from the spirit consciousness was extremely weak. However, when it landed in Su Zimo's mind, it exploded like thunder!
Dao Lord!
In the cultivation world, every single cultivation realm corresponded to a unique title. It was a symbol of identity, status and strength and could not be used carelessly.
Su Zimo only knew that Void Reversions could be referred to as Dao Beings.
However, he had never heard of the corresponding cultivation realm of a Dao Lord.
Logically speaking, a Dao Lord's cultivation realm must be above the Void Reversion realm!
"Thank you for saving me, Senior Extreme Fire. Is there anything I can help you with?"
After a long silence, Su Zimo asked.
At that moment, Su Zimo did not have any confidence either.
According to what the Hokkaidōjin said, he did not have much life left. What could a Foundation Establishment Cultivator like Su Zimo be of help?
"5,000 years ago, I … barged into a ruin. In a moment of carelessness, I was injured by … a lifeform in the ruin and was poisoned. Thereafter, I crushed … a Major Transference Talisman to escape death and was teleported here."
The Hokkaidōjin's voice sounded intermittently and incoherent. However, Su Zimo was completely dumbfounded.
5,000 years ago!
Perfected Being Jin Dan's lifespan was only 500 years.
The middle-aged man in front of him was actually a person from five thousand years ago, and he was still alive!
What was even more frightening was that there was a lifeform in that unknown ruin that could injure the Hokkaidōjin!
What sort of poison was it that even a Dao Lord could not withstand?
As for the Major Transference Talisman at the end, Su Zimo had never heard of it before.
"After creating … this place, the poison has already spread throughout my body and I can't leave. If my Essence Spirit leaves my body, it will be infected by the poison and I won't be able to live for more than an hour."
"Helpless, I can only rely on my spirit consciousness to resist the corrosion of the poison. 5,000 years … I can't hold on any longer."
There was a hint of regret, indignance and relief in the Hokkaidōjin's voice.
Su Zimo looked at the Hokkaidōjin with shock in his eyes and a torrential wave in his heart!
In that cramped Dao residence where he could not see the sun and almost lost his freedom, the Hokkaidōjin fought against the poison in his body alone for 5,000 years!
How strong was his willpower?!
