After an unknown period of time, Su Zimo woke up slowly.
Gradually, his five senses began to recover.
First, Su Zimo caught a whiff of the faint scent of books and ink. He did not know how long it had been stored for, but it smelled nice even though it was a little old.
Thereafter, his vision gradually cleared.
The surroundings were dim and countless dust particles floated before his eyes. Su Zimo struggled to sit up and realized that there were two wooden planks tied to his right wrist to secure his wound.
His muscles were still sore and swollen.
"Am I not dead yet?"
Su Zimo surveyed his surroundings.
There were rows of wooden bookshelves around him and every single one of them was filled with many ancient books.
Most of the ancient books were covered in dust and it was unknown how long it had been since anyone flipped through them.
It looked like a simple study room that was extremely spacious and there were at least thousands of ancient books!
Su Zimo felt his head spin and his consciousness was still blurry.
He only remembered that he was chased by Xuanyu Daoren and leaped into the Dragon Burial Valley. He could not remember everything that happened after that.
Su Zimo shook his head and shifted his gaze. Unintentionally, his gaze landed on a bronze square tripod at the side and he gradually recalled some things.
Initially, he was prepared to die the moment he leaped into the Dragon Burial Valley.
However, he could not help but feel his heart ache when he caught sight of the fainted little fox in his embrace.
This little thing's fate was way too tragic.
She lost her mother at a young age and was imprisoned by the Scarlet Armored Gigantic Crocodile for dozens of years. She finally regained her freedom and followed him to the outside world only to suffer such misfortune.
The little fox had yet to see the beauty of the outside world – was she going to die just like that?
Su Zimo could not bear to watch and opened his storage bag. Using all his might, he pulled out the bronze square tripod and burrowed in with the little fox.
The Dragon Burial Valley was known as an ominous place.
Countless top experts and unparalleled experts were buried there.
Nobody knew what dangers lay within and the bronze square tripod might be their only hope of survival!
Although he was in the bronze square tripod, Su Zimo could clearly sense that he was falling rapidly!
The wind howled in his ears.
An extremely frightening aura surged outside the bronze square tripod!
A boundless power slammed against the walls of the tripod repeatedly.
It was increasingly violent and frightening!
Bang! Boom! Boom!
Every time it collided with the cauldron, a deafening sound would erupt. The momentum was terrifying, and it seemed like the cauldron would be smashed into pieces!
Su Zimo curled up his body, trying his best to protect the little fox in his arms.
But under such a violent impact, Su Zimo was knocked around inside the bronze square cauldron. His tendons and bones were on the verge of cracking. His injuries were piled on top of his injuries, and his bones were about to fall apart!
The terrifying roar seemed to be able to drown out everything!
Su Zimo could only hear a buzzing sound in his ears. His seven orifices were already bleeding!
The external forces of the Dragon Burial Valley were too terrifying!
If not for the protection of the bronze square cauldron, Su Zimo and the little fox would have been reduced to dust in an instant!
After a while, an even more violent collision occurred.
Su Zimo slammed heavily against the wall of the cauldron. Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.
When he woke up again, he was already in this spacious study.
"Could it be that there are still people alive at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley?"
Su Zimo thought to himself.
Suddenly, something beside him rubbed against his leg.
Su Zimo glanced sideways.
He saw a furry little thing looking at him with its big watery eyes. There was a trace of concern and joy in its eyes.
The little thing's fur was scarlet like flames, as though it was draped in a layer of brocade. Its eyes were like shiny black gems that were bright and spirited – this was the little fox that fell into the Dragon Burial Valley with him.
Previously, the little fox was injured by Xuanyu Daoren but it seemed like it had recovered by now.
Su Zimo felt slightly comforted.
"I'm fine,"
Sensing the little fox's worry, Su Zimo smiled. "My injuries this time round were a little severe. I'll be fine after resting for a few days."
As he said that, he stood up and lifted the bronze square cauldron with one hand, wanting to put it back into his storage bag.
"Hmm?"
Su Zimo's expression changed slightly.
The bronze square cauldron did not budge at all!
Although the bronze square cauldron was extremely heavy, Su Zimo could lift it effortlessly previously!
But now …
Suddenly, Su Zimo realized something.
His Jin Dan was destroyed and his Inner Core was shattered as well!
His Alchemy Dao was forcefully shattered by someone!
Instinctively, Su Zimo channeled his Inner Core and felt a tearing pain in his chest!
"Ugh!"
Su Zimo grunted dully and his body swayed as a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
The Inner Core was dim and lifeless, and it was covered with a series of shocking cracks!
Su Zimo sensed it carefully and his expression turned even more terrible.
There was no way to salvage his Inner Core.
Jin Dan's situation was even worse!
The dantian in his abdomen was empty like a black hole without a single bit of spirit energy.
Su Zimo took a deep breath of air and gathered the surrounding spirit qi slowly.
He could still sense the existence of spirit qi and absorb it into his body.
However, the spirit qi would vanish the moment it entered his dantian and would not linger for a single moment!
Right now, his dantian was like a leaky airbag.
Water could enter but it would not linger.
In other words, even if Su Zimo wanted to start from the Qi Condensation realm and cultivate step by step, it would be wishful thinking!
That was also the reason why crippling Jin Dan was the cruelest punishment for cultivators.
That was because they would not even have the chance to cultivate from the beginning!
Su Zimo grit his teeth and his eyes shone with an unyielding gaze. He channeled his bloodline and used all his strength to lift the bronze square tripod.
At the same time, he absorbed the spirit qi and made use of the short period of time the spirit qi circulated in his body to open his storage bag and send the bronze square tripod in.
That was an extremely simple action.
However, Su Zimo expended a huge amount of effort and was sweating profusely. His face was pale and he was panting heavily.
Su Zimo smiled bitterly.
Up till this point of his cultivation, he had dominated almost all cultivators of the same cultivation realm with an incomparably domineering stance. In fact, he had even killed opponents who were major cultivation realms above him!
He was hailed as the number one monster incarnate of history by the major factions!
To think that he would end up in this state one day.
Although Su Zimo still had the power of his bloodline, it was no longer possible for him to fight against true Jin Dan paragons.
There was no way he could seek revenge against Xuanyu Daoren one day.
"Is this my fate?"
Su Zimo gripped his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned pale!
"I'm not willing! I'm indignant! I'm indignant! "
"I'm going to fight against the heavens for my fate even if I have to give up everything!"
His sharp nails dug into his palms and blood seeped out. However, Su Zimo was oblivious to it and a demonic blood glint flashed in his eyes!
The little fox squatted beside Su Zimo's feet and looked up at him worriedly.
Although she could not speak, she could sense the pain and indignation in Su Zimo's heart.
There was nothing more despairing than losing hope.
Right then, a chant sounded from outside the door.
"Thus I have heard. Cultivate your body with compassion and enter Buddhist wisdom. Attain great wisdom. Come to this shore, you will be known as the boundless world. You will be able to see billions of living beings …"
The voice was pure and flawless like Sanskrit, reverberating endlessly and cleansing one's heart.
Someone was chanting sutras outside.
