Su Zimo pushed open the door and left.
For a moment, he forgot about the existence of malevolent spirits outside the old temple.
At that moment, the only thing in his mind was the scene of a woman crying above the Dragon Burial Valley a year later …
Who was the one crying?
Who was she crying for?
Su Zimo already had a vague answer in his heart.
The people outside all thought that he had died.
Theoretically speaking, today was the anniversary of his death!
After leaving the old temple, Su Zimo walked along the edge of the rift valley slowly.
Not long after, he heard intermittent sobbing in his ears.
After walking for a while more, Su Zimo came to a stop.
Although his Inner Core had not healed completely, his hearing was still there.
The sobbing woman was right above this place.
There were two people, one at the bottom of the valley and the other at the top.
They were thousands of feet apart.
Su Zimo raised his head. It was dark above and he could not see anything.
However, he already knew the identity of the person.
A teardrop slid down silently, crossing the thousands of feet deep abyss and landing on Su Zimo's cheeks with a hint of warmth.
Su Zimo was silent.
After a long time, the sobs gradually turned softer until they stopped.
"Zimo, today is the anniversary of your death. I'm here to visit you," The woman's voice sounded.
For some reason, Su Zimo felt as though his heart had been struck heavily the moment he heard that. His vision turned blurry and a layer of mist appeared in his eyes.
This was the Dragon Burial Valley!
How many people wanted to avoid this place?
How many powerful living beings had been buried in the past 10,000 years?
Just a year ago, countless paragons of the North Region were buried here!
Notwithstanding this ominous place, just how much danger would one have to take to pass through the Great Qian Ruins and the obstruction of the endless otherworldly soldiers to reach this place?
"I'm the Empress of Great Zhou now. I don't dare to cry in front of others in the palace and neither can I cry."
"This is the only place where I can cry without fear. Zimo, you're not allowed to make fun of me."
"Zimo, don't worry. I've already hidden Mr. Su Hong. Unless I die, no one will find him. It's just that …"
Pausing for a moment, the woman continued, "However, the cultivators of Glass Palace vented their anger on the citizens of the Yan Country and many innocent people died. Thankfully, the cultivators of the fiend sects' Pure Maiden Sect arrived and saved many people. "
Hearing this, Su Zimo clenched his fists, his eyes bursting with killing intent!
Although Su Hong was fine, he loved the people as if they were his children. No one knew how tormented he would be when he heard that the citizens of Yan Country were massacred!
To Su Hong, it was probably a fate worse than death.
"Glazed Tile Palace!"
Su Zimo's gaze was gloomy. The killing intent in his eyes was almost tangible!
The thing he was most afraid of when he stepped into the path of cultivation was to implicate his family.
Who would have thought that in the end, it still couldn't be avoided.
Although Su Hong was fine, the countless people who had died unnatural deaths were, in fact, implicated because of him.
"Fortunately, the appearance of the Pure Maiden Sect attracted the attention of many sects and forces in the Northern Region. Almost everyone thought that it was the Pure Maiden Sect who rescued Mr. Su."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."
The woman's tone seemed to have turned much lighter. "It's been a year since we last met. Let's talk about happy things!"
"In any case, Mr. Su is fine. Don't worry, Zimo. Misty Peak is fine as well. I've also entered the Jin Dan realm."
The woman murmured to herself above the Dragon Burial Valley, recounting everything that happened in the past year.
Su Zimo listened quietly without saying anything and touched the cold stone wall gently with his palm.
It was as though the 100,000 feet distance between him and the woman was gone through the stone wall.
It was as though the two of them were right in front of each other.
It was as though he was standing beside the woman and listening to her murmurs.
Su Zimo's Jin Dan was crippled and the crack on his Inner Core had yet to heal completely.
He could not fly in the air at all.
He could not cross this 100,000 feet height to meet the woman above the Dragon Burial Valley.
Su Zimo lowered his head slightly and his eyes dimmed.
Even if he could fly in the air, he probably wouldn't choose to go up and meet the woman.
That was because he was Su Zimo.
He was the person who offended Glass Palace and the entire North Region!
He was a demon that the entire cultivation world could not tolerate!
The moment he appeared in the North Region, he would definitely be hunted down endlessly!
Anyone who was related to him would be implicated!
That was the case for Su Hong and the citizens of Yan Country.
If he were to walk out of the Dragon Burial Valley and choose to acknowledge the woman and return to Misty Peak …
The only thing he would bring to the woman and Misty Peak would be a devastating catastrophe!
The moment he walked out of the Dragon Burial Valley would be the moment he left the North Region as well.
Sunrise and sunset.
Unknowingly, the sky gradually darkened and it was already dusk.
Su Zimo could clearly sense that the malevolent qi in the surroundings was much denser. The Mingwang Prayer Beads on his left wrist shone with a mysterious glow.
Many ghostly figures moved not far away but none of them dared to advance.
If that was the case at the bottom of the valley, it was naturally the same above as well!
Su Zimo's eyes were filled with worry.
Right now, he only hoped that the woman could leave this place as soon as possible!
After a while, the skies darkened and the firmaments were filled with stars. The woman finally said softly, "Zimo, I've got to go."
Su Zimo heaved a sigh of relief.
After a moment, he saw that there was no more movement above. Just as he was about to return to the old temple, the woman's voice sounded once more with a hint of sobbing, "Zimo, I miss you."
Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat.
The sobs gradually faded and the woman had already left.
However, Su Zimo did not move for a long time and remained silent.
The night passed and at daybreak, Su Zimo finally heaved a sigh of relief and moved back to the old temple.
Ming Zhen looked at the dejected Su Zimo who pushed open the door and entered. His eyes were filled with confusion and confusion but he was too embarrassed to ask.
He was only in his teens and had been living at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley isolated from the world – how could he know about such things?
Winter came and summer came.
Spring passed and autumn came.
Every year on this day, there would be a woman above the Dragon Burial Valley, murmuring softly about everything that happened in the past year without stopping.
Every year on this day, the woman seemed to have a lot to say that she could never finish.
Every year on this day, Su Zimo would leave the old temple.
He would spend an entire day and night outside.
One would be at the bottom of the valley while the other would be at the top.
They were thousands of miles apart and could not meet.
Every year on this day, when Su Zimo returned from outside, Ming Zhen would be able to see an unresolvable sorrow in the depths of the latter's eyes.
Finally, on this day, when he saw Su Zimo return to the old temple and enter the Sutra Chamber, Ming Zhen could no longer hold it in and ran to the old monk.
"Master, what's wrong with little junior brother?"
"Is there a woman waiting for little junior brother above the Dragon Burial Valley?"
"Little junior brother's Inner Core is almost fully recovered and he can fly. Why isn't he going up to meet her?"
Ming Zhen was filled with doubts as he asked all of them at once.
There was a long silence.
The old monk did not speak the entire time.
Just as Ming Zhen was about to leave in disappointment, the old monk opened his eyes and sighed gently. "Fate is shallow in a lifetime but deep in love."
