"Miss Die, where are you going?"
Su Zimo chased her to the courtyard and shouted, unable to conceal the reluctance in his eyes.
"Of course it's my world."
Die Yue turned around and smiled at Su Zimo. She teased, "You and I are from two different worlds."
That was what Shen Meng Qi said when she left Su Zimo.
Now that it came out of Die Yue's mouth, there wasn't the slightest hint of contempt. Instead, it was like two good friends who had known each other for many years were teasing each other, mixed with a trace of melancholy of parting.
Die Yue had never spoken to Su Zimo in such a tone and rarely smiled at him. It was only now that Su Zimo realized that Die Yue was really leaving.
"But you haven't taught me the rest of The Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness. Why are you leaving?" Su Zimo racked his brains and finally came up with a reason.
Die Yue shook her head. "You already have spirit roots. Join an immortal sect in the future. Don't cultivate as a demon anymore."
"Why?"
Su Zimo frowned and said, "I want to cultivate as an immortal. I want to cultivate as a demon too!"
"Immortal and demon cultivation at the same time?"
Die Yue raised her beautiful brows and could not help but laugh. "You're quite ambitious."
Pausing, Die Yue asked, "Spirit qi can nourish and temper the body. Although it can't compare to demons, the body won't be too weak. But do you know why most cultivators have weak bodies?"
"Why?"
"There's a limit to a person's strength. Be it immortal or demon cultivation, there's no way to live forever. Immortal and demon cultivation at the same time. The biggest possibility is that you won't be able to reach the end of either path. "
Su Zimo thought for a moment and said, "I want to give it a try."
Die Yue continued, "If you're immortal and Buddhist cultivation at the same time, I won't stop you. But immortals and demons are different. Immortals are immortals and demons are demons. If you're immortal and demon at the same time, neither side will be able to tolerate you. Give it up now while you're still a demon. "
"I don't want to give up," Su Zimo insisted stubbornly.
"Even if the entire world is your enemy?"
"Even if the whole world is my enemy!"
In Su Zimo's heart, this cultivation technique was imparted to him by Die Yue and had other important meanings. Even if the world stopped him, he would continue to cultivate it!
Die Yue was silent for a moment before replying, "The Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness gets harder towards the end. You won't be able to master it without me by your side."
Looking at Su Zimo's stubborn gaze, Die Yue sighed softly and finally compromised.
Die Yue's eyes flashed with a demonic light. A few scriptures appeared in Su Zimo's mind.
Die Yue looked at Su Zimo and said gently, "This is the scripture at the back. Remember it. If you can't cultivate it, don't waste your energy on it. Also, if that monkey in the Cang Lang Mountain Range is in trouble in the future, help him. "
Hearing this, Su Zimo's eyes flashed with understanding.
Die Yue had arranged for him to train in Cang Lang Mountain Range for another reason.
Without the spirit monkey, Su Zimo would not have been able to master the Sanguine Ape Three Styles within a year.
Without the spirit monkey, Su Zimo would not have activated the Sanguine Ape Transformation.
Although Die Yue did not appear during that one year in Cang Lang Mountain Range, she had been watching Su Zimo. Otherwise, she would not have appeared at the last moment.
After all, Die Yue was concerned about him.
Su Zimo looked at Die Yue quietly. His gaze was scorching and unreasonable, as if he wanted to imprint Die Yue's appearance deeply in his memory.
"If you want to cultivate both immortality and demonic, you will experience unimaginable hardships. But remember, these hardships will make you stronger. There is a saying in the Avatamsaka Sutra of Buddhism that I will give you. If you want to be a dragon or elephant, you must first be a horse or a cow! "
With that, Die Yue turned around and waved at Su Zimo with her back facing him.
Die Yue took a step forward and arrived in mid-air. Under Su Zimo's gaze, her graceful figure disappeared and she transformed into a blood-colored butterfly. There were two bright crescent moons imprinted on her wings.
"I have left you three things. The first is the spirit root in your body. As for the remaining two things, you might be able to use them in the future. "
Die Yue flapped her wings and the surrounding space collapsed and shattered instantly. Cracks appeared and one could vaguely see the dark and gloomy void. Chilly winds blew and it was heart-palpitating.
The butterfly flew into the darkness and gradually disappeared.
"Die Yue!"
Su Zimo ran a few steps and shouted in the direction that Die Yue left. "I will look for you!"
The space gradually returned to normal and the cracks healed.
At this moment, a voice came from the depths of the void.
"Sure, I will wait for you."
Die Yue transformed into a butterfly and left.
…
It was only until the moment that Die Yue left that Su Zimo realized that he had such a strong attachment and dependence on Die Yue in his heart.
Su Zimo stood at the same spot, recalling the bits and pieces that happened here a year ago. For a moment, he was in a daze.
The morning sun rose and the sunlight broke through the fog.
Unknowingly, Su Zimo stood under the peach blossom tree for an entire night, not moving at all.
Finally, Su Zimo raised his head and looked into the distance. His eyes regained clarity and he hid the sorrow and reluctance in his heart. He took a deep breath and turned to leave.
…
Su Zimo stopped in his tracks when he passed by the Su family's residence.
Logically speaking, everyone in the Su family should be hiding in the Sky Treasure Pavilion in Cang Lang City. However, at this moment, the door of the Su family's residence was wide open and there were faint voices coming from inside.
Su Zimo was puzzled and walked in.
"Second Young Master?"
"Second Young Master is back!"
When the people in the Su family saw Su Zimo, they hurried to greet him. Not long after, Su Hong led everyone out to welcome him.
"Zimo, are you alright?"
Su Hong went forward and grabbed Su Zimo's shoulders, sizing him up.
"I'm fine." Su Zimo shook his head and asked, "Why aren't all of you in the Sky Treasure Pavilion?"
Song Qi said, "We were planning to leave Ping Yang Town but a lady in a red robe suddenly appeared and stopped us."
As if recalling this scene again, Song Qi's eyes revealed deep shock. He said, "This lady is so powerful. She can leave the ground and soar into the sky without any external help. She is at least a Jin Dan cultivator! She asked us to wait here and she will bring you back, Second Young Master. "
"Then, then she disappeared before our eyes!"
At this point, everyone in the Su family could not hide the shock in their eyes.
Su Zimo lowered his head. No one noticed the loneliness and sadness in his eyes.
"Zimo, that lady is your master, right?"
Everyone in the Su family vaguely guessed that the mysterious lady was the reason why Su Zimo could transform from a weak scholar to a powerful cultivator who could kill Qi Refinement Warriors.
"She is not my master."
Su Zimo shook his head.
Although Die Yue taught him demonic cultivation, Su Zimo had never treated Die Yue as his master.
"Where is this lady then? No matter what, the Su family has to thank her. We cannot neglect her," Su Hong asked again.
"She has left."
Su Zimo said softly.
Everyone was silent.
Su Zimo composed himself and smiled. He asked, "Brother, what are your plans next?"
The Su family's situation was very special. They could not go to the Country of Yan and the Country of Qi could not accommodate them. They could only leave their hometown and settle down in other vassal states.
"I don't know either."
Su Hong sighed softly. He looked in the direction of the Country of Yan and murmured, "I can't bear to leave after all."
At this moment, a black-armored cavalry galloped from afar. Before he even got close, he shouted, "Reporting to Young Master, the Yan Kingdom's army is attacking. Dust is billowing everywhere. There are at least hundreds of thousands of people, and there are traces of Cultivators among them!"
