When Xue Yi saw Su Zimo stop in his tracks with a strange expression, he asked softly, "Junior Brother Su, what's wrong? You don't look too good."
Su Zimo did not reply.
As though he had thought of something, Xue Yi gasped and pointed at Su Zimo with a trembling voice. "That unlucky brat. I-I-It can't be you, right?"
Right then, Su Zimo felt a chill run down his spine and his scalp tingled – it was as though he was being targeted by an incomparably strong existence!
Su Zimo's body stiffened and his limbs turned cold. Turning around slowly, he raised his head.
Unknowingly, the gigantic crane not far behind them had opened its eyes and was looking over with a cold gaze.
In front of the crane, Su Zimo felt incomparably insignificant – not only in terms of size, but also in terms of strength.
If the crane wanted to kill him, it did not even have to make a move – a single thought was enough!
The air around them seemed to have frozen and a murderous intent gradually spread, as though the world could collapse at any moment!
All of a sudden!
The crane spread its wings and soared into the skies, flying over Su Zimo and Xue Yi's heads towards Ethereal Palace. Its gigantic wings covered almost half the skies as the wind howled and sand flew everywhere.
In the blink of an eye, the crane disappeared into Ethereal Palace.
In those few short breaths, Xue Yi's face was pale and he was drenched in sweat, almost fainting from fright.
Xue Yi could not help but look towards Su Zimo.
Su Zimo stood on the spot without a change in expression. The only difference was that his face was slightly pale and his eyes were indifferent.
"Junior Brother Su, aren't you afraid?" Xue Yi could not help but ask.
Su Zimo shook his head. "If senior crane wanted to kill me, it would have done so long ago. Why wait until now and even come to Ethereal Palace to wait for me?"
"That's true," Xue Yi panted slightly and nodded.
Suddenly, Su Zimo asked, "What's senior crane's cultivation realm?"
"I don't know, but its child is a spirit demon, equivalent to an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. Let me tell you, senior crane's child has an extraordinary bloodline. He's still in his infancy and has already reached early-stage Foundation Establishment without cultivating much. If he grows up, he'll be incredible, "Xue Yi's words were also meant to remind Su Zimo to be careful in the future.
…
Not long after, the haughty man, the white-clothed woman, Little Fatty, and the others arrived before the Misty Palace.
Little Fatty's eyes lit up when he saw Su Zimo. He greeted him and ran over.
"Not bad, Big Bro. You're already at Qi Condensation Level 1," said Little Fatty with a grin.
The arrogant man and the lady in white glanced at Su Zimo. Their expressions were indifferent. To them, reaching the first level of Qi Condensation in ten days was nothing special.
Using his Spirit Peering Art, Su Zimo checked on the others.
In ten days, the arrogant man and the white-clothed woman had already broken through to Level 6 Qi Condensation. Little Fatty was still at Level 5 Qi Condensation. As for the other three trial disciples, none of them were at Qi Condensation yet.
"I still don't know your name," Su Zimo started chatting with Little Fatty when he saw that the sect entrance ceremony had yet to begin.
Little Fatty had a rare awkward expression as he chuckled dryly. "My surname is Pang and my name is Zi."
Su Zimo was stunned for a long time. Holding back his laughter, he praised, "Your name is like your person. What a good name."
"Heh!"
Little Fatty pointed to the arrogant man and whispered, "That arrogant fella is called Feng Haoyu and that ice beauty beside him is called Leng Rou. Big Bro, have you noticed? "
"Noticed what?"
"Look, that fella's surname is Feng, meaning that he has a wind spirit root. That ice beauty's surname is Leng, meaning that she has an ice spirit root. I've already thought about it. My son won't have the surname Pang. He'll have the surname Lei, Guang, Dark and so on. He'll be born with a mutated spirit root. Hehe, just thinking about it makes me happy!"
Su Zimo: "…"
In just a short while, many cultivators had gathered in front of Ethereal Palace. Most of them were Foundation Establishment Cultivators or inner sect disciples of Misty Peak.
There were also some cultivators who soared into the air. They were clearly Perfected Jin Dan.
The five peak masters were among them as well. They stood in front of Ethereal Palace, leaving the middle seats empty.
Before long, the sound of a bell rang from Ethereal Palace, reverberating through the five peaks and valleys.
Accompanied by the sound of the bell, an old man in his fifties dressed in golden robes walked over slowly from Ethereal Palace. Standing at the entrance, he swept his gaze across Su Zimo's group of seven.
For some reason, Su Zimo felt that the golden-robed old man's gaze seemed to linger on him for a while longer.
"I'm the Patriarch of Misty Peak, Ling Yun."
"Even though Misty Peak is one of the five major sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty, everyone should know that we're currently standing on Tianhuang Mainland. It's divided into four regions, three seas and one continent. The Great Zhou Dynasty is only a dynasty in the North Region of Tianhuang Mainland. There are three other dynasties that are similar to it in terms of strength."
Su Zimo's mouth was agape in shock.
Back in Ping Yang Town, the Great Zhou Dynasty was already something that he could only look up to.
It was only now that Su Zimo realized that compared to the entire Tianhuang Mainland, the Great Zhou Dynasty and Ethereal Sect were nothing.
If he were to continue staying in Ping Yang Town, he would be like a frog in a well, forever only able to see the palm-sized skies.
Of course, given Su Zimo's current strength, he could not even roam freely within the borders of the Great Zhou Dynasty, let alone four regions, three seas and one continent.
When he saw the shock in the eyes of Su Zimo and the others, the Patriarch of Misty Peak, Ling Yun, nodded and continued, "Among the seven of you, some of you are already at Level 6 Qi Condensation while some of you have yet to do so. There's no need to feel discouraged if your cultivation is lagging behind. The path of cultivation is long and bumpy. Now that you guys have just started, it doesn't mean that you'll have a future just because you're lagging behind now. "
"After Qi Condensation is Foundation Establishment. After that is the major realm of cultivation, core formation!"
"After forming a core, your lifespan will increase to 500 years and you'll shed your mortal body to become a Perfected Being. After core formation, there's the Nascent Soul realm where your lifespan will increase to a thousand years. At Nascent Soul, you'll be known as a Perfected Lord. You'll be able to open up your spirit consciousness and cultivate your spirit consciousness. Even if you can't see, you'll be able to sense everything around you and your spirit consciousness will be all-pervasive, covering the entire world! "
"After Nascent Soul is Void Reversion. After establishing your Dao heart, you'll be able to refine your spirit into the void. Your Nascent Soul will be cleansed of all impurities and undergo a qualitative change to form your Essence Spirit. Your Essence Spirit will be transparent and unafraid of the scorching sun. You'll be able to truly break free from the shackles of your physical body and roam the world with your spirit. It's equivalent to having an additional life and you can possess someone else's body and cultivate an external body with a lifespan of 5,000 years! At Void Reversion realm, you'll be known as a Daoist. "
When he heard that, Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat.
The Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness had a total of nine sections. The seventh section was on Core Formation, the eighth section was on Yin Spirit and the ninth section was on Yang Spirit.
The Yin Spirit section said that one would be able to see the spirit after breaking through the voids. Was the word 'voids' the spirit consciousness that Ling Yun mentioned?
Did the Yin Spirit correspond to the Nascent Soul of cultivation?
The Yang Spirit section said that one would be able to refine the dregs of the Yin Spirit and obtain a pure Yang spirit without Yin. That would be the Yang Spirit. In the later stages, one could even communicate with the power of Heaven and Earth and conjure a Heaven and Earth Dharma Form!
Did the Yang Spirit correspond to the Essence Spirit of cultivation?
Su Zimo lowered his head and tried his best to hide the shock in his eyes.
If he cultivated both immortality and demonic, there was a high possibility that he would have two Jin Dan in the future and two Essence Spirits!
