After recovering from his injuries, Su Zimo did not linger in the stomach of the Green Armored Crocodile for too long.
Ascending the riverbank, Su Zimo rode on his sword and patrolled the surroundings before taking out a map to compare.
As he had expected, he was getting further and further away from Misty Peak.
Given his current location, it would take him a month to return to Misty Peak even if he sped without rest!
"Hmm?"
Right then, Su Zimo frowned.
Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his mind without any warning!
Right after, Su Zimo's vision blurred, as though he saw the blood-robed youth who was already dead standing before him with a strange expression and a sinister smile.
A strange green color appeared in Su Zimo's eyes and paused for a moment before disappearing.
Su Zimo narrowed his eyes with a terrible expression.
Although the blood-robed youth was already dead, there was still the remnant power of the Blood Slave Art in his body.
Furthermore, he did not notice it when he was recovering from his injuries earlier on!
The cultivators of that mysterious faction knew some extremely strange methods that were unpredictable and impossible to guard against.
Just Now, was this strange pain a coincidence or was someone manipulating it from behind the scenes?
Su Zimo's gaze flickered and he fell into deep thought.
He was more inclined to believe that someone was behind this.
After all, he had never felt such a sharp pain when he was in the stomach of the Green Armored Crocodile. However, it appeared not long after he left Jishui River.
That was too much of a coincidence.
Furthermore, if someone was manipulating it from behind the scenes, what was that person's motive?
"Are they trying to determine whether I'm dead or alive or are they trying to track me down?"
After pondering for a moment, Su Zimo let out a long breath and murmured, "They're truly persistent."
If his guess was correct, it meant that he might be able to avoid the other party's detection in Jishui River.
However, Su Zimo could not stay in Jishui River forever.
He had to think of a way to deal with it!
If he wanted to take drastic measures, there were only two ways.
The first was to think of a way to get rid of the remnant power in his body.
The second was to think of a way to get rid of his pursuers!
Neither of those two paths was realistic and Su Zimo could not do it with his own strength.
Su Zimo had no clue about the first path.
Su Zimo had a vague idea about the second path.
Of course, the second path was way too dangerous and there was a high chance that he would die!
Su Zimo opened the map again and searched for his next destination.
There were some dangerous places marked on the map.
Some of them were labeled with danger, some were vague.
Among them, there was a small blood-red fork drawn on one of the spots. The color was extremely heavy.
That proved, that was the most place!
Su Zimo knew very little about this place and only knew that it was a ruin.
A ruin from the primordial era!
The Primordial Era was too far away from the present, so there weren't many things left behind.
However, there must be something special about the fact that the primordial ruin could be preserved to this day.
A vicious glint flashed through Su Zimo's eyes as he put away the map and sped in the direction of the primordial ruin.
"Let's see what dangers there are in the primordial ruin and if they can kill you guys!"
Su Zimo intended to lure his pursuers to the primordial ruin!
…
At that moment, it was almost evening.
Su Zimo did not rest and sprinted.
He did not know who the cultivators chasing after him were or what their cultivation realms were.
However, the earlier he arrived at the primordial ruin, the higher his chances of killing everyone behind him!
Morning.
Su Zimo was travel-worn and finally arrived at the periphery of the primordial ruin.
When he arrived, Su Zimo was shocked to discover that there were many cultivators around. There were Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment Cultivators and even some Jin Dan Perfected Ones standing in the air.
At a single glance, there were tens of thousands of cultivators gathered here. It was a shocking sight!
There were even a few cultivators among them – there was a high chance that they were Genying Zhenjun!
At the Nascent Soul realm, one could no longer tell their cultivation realms with the Spirit Peering Art.
Su Zimo merely felt that the auras of those people were terrifying and were even stronger than Perfected Jin Dan Perfected Ones!
"Something's not right,"
Su Zimo was confused.
Initially, he thought that those people were specially waiting for him here because they were recruited by the mysterious faction.
If that was the case, the methods of the mysterious faction were truly unpredictable!
However, after observing for a while, Su Zimo discovered that those people were clearly not from the same sect. Instead, they came from all over the world.
Su Zimo was even more confused.
Although he had yet to truly step foot into the primordial ruin, what was the point of gathering so many cultivators here?
Of course, in order to hide his identity, Su Zimo had already placed his sect's identity badge into his storage bag.
"Fellow Daoist, what are all of you gathered here for?"
Su Zimo asked a random itinerant cultivator at the Qi Condensation realm.
When the itinerant cultivator saw that Su Zimo was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he revealed a respectful expression.
That person cupped his fists. "Fellow Daoist, you don't know. A month ago, in the primordial ruin ahead, there was a golden beam of light that shot into the skies. It lasted for a long time and even attracted lightning and thunder! "
Before Su Zimo could say anything, another itinerant cultivator who was passing by could not help but interject, "I heard that it was a rainbow glow and was extremely extraordinary."
"I heard that there were even dragon roars and phoenix cries!"
"Tsk, I even saw a True Dragon. Although it was just a scale and a claw, it was shocking enough! Each of its scales is bigger than our bodies, and its claws are longer and sharper than our flying swords! "
More cultivators from the side came over and commented as though they were telling the truth. Spittle flew everywhere and their eyes shone brightly – it was clear that they were bragging and were getting more and more mysterious.
Su Zimo did not really understand and asked again, "So?"
"So, this proves that there are definitely treasures in the primordial ruin ahead! Furthermore, the treasure has just been born! "
"There's also another possibility. The restrictions of a cave abode of a powerful existence in the primordial ruin have disappeared and there are too many treasures within, causing a change in the world.
"Yes, it might be a legacy left behind by a sect from the primordial era that's waiting for me to inherit."
The surrounding cultivators chimed in with their own guesses.
"But I heard that the primordial ruin is a place of great danger?" Su Zimo added.
"Yes."
Someone nodded. "That's a rumor. However, very few people know what dangers lie within."
"Since ancient times, cultivators have died here almost every year."
"Of course, it's dangerous. However, it's a primordial ruin after all and there are many things left behind from the primordial era! If you manage to pick up a treasure, you might be able to soar! "
At that point, many cultivators' eyes shone with excitement.
If something left behind from the primordial era was still intact, it would definitely be a treasure!
