Apart from the Merit Golden Lotus, his greatest gain from this trip to the Ancestral Fire Sacred Ground was news of Die Yue.
Su Zimo could not wait to find Die Yue.
However, he was also clear.
Given his current situation, there was a high chance that he would bring an unpredictable disaster to Die Yue if he headed to Xuan Mi Mountain in the Southwest Territory to search for her!
At the very least, he had to tide over the upcoming crisis before he could make a move.
If he did not intend to join the Ancestral Fire Sacred Ground, hiding here for a long time was not a solution.
Perhaps, he might even have to return to the Southeast Territory.
On one hand, the Chaos Sacred Ground was there to begin with.
On the other hand, according to his inherited memories, the four lotus seeds fell in that direction as well.
Su Zimo entered the Universe Creation Diagram with his spirit consciousness.
Many cultivators inside sensed it and appeared one after another.
"Master, your Essence Spirit has already entered the Dao Manipulation realm?"
Supreme Lin Meng asked hurriedly after detecting Su Zimo's Essence Spirit realm.
The other Dao Venerables were pleasantly surprised as well.
This meant that they could finally leave the Universe Creation Diagram and return to the Greater Thousand World after more than six billion years!
Su Zimo nodded. "I'm currently in the Ancestral Fire Sacred Ground. It's not convenient for you guys to appear yet."
"It's fine, it's fine!"
Supreme Lin Meng laughed loudly.
Among the Dao Venerables, there were some who were displeased.
After being trapped in the Universe Creation Diagram for so many years, everyone wanted to leave as soon as possible. However, judging from Su Zimo's tone, there did not seem to be an exact time limit.
"There might be some trouble coming up."
Su Zimo explained briefly about the fight with the five sacred clans in the Ancestral Fire Sacred Ground. He did not mention anything about the Merit Golden Lotus.
Su Zimo said, "There's a high chance that the experts of the four sacred grounds will come knocking if we leave this place."
The Dao Venerables present frowned and looked worried when they heard that Su Zimo had offended the four sacred grounds.
Supreme Lin Meng's expression was grim as he pondered for a moment. "Given our current strength, we might have a chance against a sacred ground. There's definitely no chance of winning against the four sacred grounds. "
After Su Zimo had fused with the three lotuses, he could already sense that four of the living beings in the Universe Creation Diagram had stronger bloodlines than others!
Apart from Lin Meng, there were three others.
These four should be from the Sacred Clan of the Primal Chaos Sacred Land.
"Due to the Universe Creation Diagram, none of the beings born here have undergone Ancestral Awakening," Qin Lie said.
"The Sacred Land of Primal Chaos was destroyed," Lin Meng said. "Most of the sacred clan members died in battle. Only the four of us remain."
Supreme Lin Meng pointed at the three people beside him and introduced them to Su Zimo.
These three were all Supreme-Beings of the Sacred Clan, two men and one woman, and all of them were rather old.
The man on the left had a long beard that fluttered in the wind. His Daoist name was Evergreen.
The woman in the middle was graceful and beautiful. Her Daoist name was Hua Ruo.
The man on the right had a pale face and was surrounded by layers of Yin energy. His Daoist name was Huai An.
Although Su Zimo's cultivation was far inferior to the three of them, he could sense their true forms with his bloodline.
Huai An's true form was a locust tree. He'd devoured countless ghosts and spirits, cultivated his own intelligence, and attained the Great Dao. That was why his body was filled with Yin energy.
Huai An said coldly, "Even when the Primal Chaos Sacred Land was at its peak, it couldn't withstand the combined attacks of the four sacred grounds. What more now?"
Supreme Evergreen said, "The main reason is that no Saint has been born among us. If the Saints of the four sacred grounds were to attack, we wouldn't be able to stop them even if we worked together."
Hua Ruo said, "Only if we return to the Greater Thousand Realms as soon as possible will we have a chance to reach the Saint Realm."
Su Zimo said, "As far as I know, the Saints won't interfere in a conflict like this. If they kill beings below the Saint Realm, they'll be tainted by karma and their combat strength will be affected. They might even be punished by the heavens and die. "
"Ah?"
Supreme Lin Meng and the others were dumbfounded upon hearing this.
Su Zimo saw their strange expressions and couldn't help but ask, "You don't know about this?"
Lin Meng shook his head. "Saints will indeed be tainted by karma if they kill ordinary beings, and their combat strength will be affected. However, I've never heard of heavenly punishment."
Su Zimo narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
He'd learned about this from Uncle Feng. There was no need for Uncle Feng to lie about this.
However, Lin Meng and the others had no idea about this!
Su Zimo carefully recalled what Uncle Feng had said.
Uncle Feng had only said that tainting karma might lead to heavenly punishment.
Could it be that heavenly punishment only appeared after the great upheaval more than six billion years ago?
That was why Lin Meng and the others didn't know.
This also meant that heavenly punishment might not be the laws of the Heavenly Dao, but controlled by someone else.
The Heavenly Punishment Sacred Land!
Su Zimo's heart shook.
At this moment, Su Zimo sensed something and left the Universe Creation Diagram, returning to the residence.
"Congratulations on your improvement in cultivation, young friend."
Uncle Feng stood not far away and smiled at Su Zimo, asking, "What do you think of my suggestion?"
Su Zimo looked apologetic and cupped his fists. "Thank you for your kindness, senior. However, it's inconvenient for me to join the Ancestral Fire Sacred Ground due to my special identity."
"I was about to bid farewell to you as well …"
"Since that's the case, I won't force you."
Uncle Feng pondered for a moment and said, "This is your opportunity. Since you're unwilling to join, I'll answer a question for you as a parting gift."
"Can I ask any questions?"
Su Zimo asked.
"Of course. I'll tell you everything I know."
Uncle Feng smiled gently.
Su Zimo asked directly, "Senior, may I know where the Black Lotus of Destruction is?"
"This …"
Uncle Feng was stumped by that question and shook his head. "I don't know …"
Uncle Feng suddenly paused and changed his words after a moment of silence. "The Black Lotus of Destruction is a secret of the Sacred Ground, so I can't tell you. Please change your question."
Su Zimo had been observing Uncle Feng's expression.
At first, Uncle Feng did not seem to know the whereabouts of the Black Lotus of Destruction.
However, after a moment of silence, he changed his words.
What was even stranger was that Uncle Feng did not seem to tell him the whereabouts of the Black Lotus of Destruction, but he also indirectly told him that the Black Lotus of Destruction was among the Sacred Grounds!
Could it be that someone had said something to him while Uncle Feng was silent, causing him to change his words?
If it was something else …
Su Zimo still had many doubts in his heart.
Why did Uncle Feng help him?
What happened in the Vast Thousand Domains more than six billion years ago?
What was going on with the Heavenly Punishment?
Who was the black-robed man …
He had too many doubts in his heart, but none of them were as important as that.
Su Zimo was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "In the Small Thousand Domains, an old friend of mine was very talented, but she could not make a breakthrough in her cultivation realm. In the end, she ran out of life and died.
"I guarded her coffin for a year and never left, but her body disappeared into thin air, leaving only a piece of clothing.
"Senior, please enlighten me. What is going on?
"Is she dead or alive?
"Or has she reincarnated?"
To be precise, this was not a question.
However, Uncle Feng did not refute him. He quietly listened to him.
Uncle Feng was silent for a long time.
After a long while, Uncle Feng did not directly answer. Instead, he asked, "Is this person your relative or cultivation partner?"
Su Zimo shook his head and said, "Neither relative nor cultivation partner."
Uncle Feng said indifferently, "Since she is neither relative nor cultivation partner, why are you asking about her?"
"This matter is very important to me."
Su Zimo thought for a while and said, "She is also very important to me. I am worried and want an answer."
Uncle Feng's expression was somewhat complicated. He was silent.
When Su Zimo saw that, he realized that there was a high chance that Uncle Feng knew something!
He quickly said, "Senior, if it is not convenient for you to say, you can give me some clues. I will find the answer myself."
Uncle Feng looked deeply at Su Zimo and said, "Come with me. Someone will give you the answer."
