Hokkaidōjin's words were forceful and bold – he did not take Su Zimo's demonic cultivation to heart at all.
Neither did he take into account the major sects and factions that had a feud with Su Zimo.
Su Zimo was touched and thanked hurriedly.
At that moment, he had yet to realize the weight of Hokkaidōjin's words.
He did not know what sort of a figure Hokkaidōjin was in the cultivation world 5,000 years ago either!
After all, in Su Zimo's opinion, no matter how strong Hokkaidōjin was, he was merely the Dharma Daojun. His cultivation realm was comparable to the old immortal crane of Misty Peak and he could not protect Su Zimo at all.
Back then, during the battle of Misty Peak, the old immortal crane broke through to become a high-level fiend demon before she passed away and was equivalent to the Dharma Daojun.
However, Misty Peak was still insignificant against a colossus like Glass Palace!
Notwithstanding Glass Palace, Misty Peak did not have any status or right to speak before the Ten Upper Sects of the North Region!
Back then, Su Zimo had no choice but to leave the North Region.
In the battle of the Great Qian Ruins, he had offended almost all the Ten Upper Sects and aristocratic families of the North Region. If he were to stay in the North Region, Misty Peak would definitely do their best to protect him.
If that was the case, Misty Peak would definitely be met with a calamity!
Instantly, they would be reduced to ashes and their legacy would be lost forever, erased from the cultivation world!
However, Su Zimo did not know that Hundred Refinement Sect was not Misty Peak.
As for Hokkaidōjin, he was not the old immortal crane either!
When Su Zimo saw that the aura of Hokkaidōjin's Essence Spirit was strong and seemed to have recovered to the Dharma Characteristic realm, he asked, "Senior, have you recovered your cultivation?"
"Not yet. I've barely recovered seventy to eighty percent."
Hokkaidōjin smiled and said, "Originally, it would take me at least a few hundred years to recover my cultivation. I didn't expect that I would also benefit from your opportunity."
"Just now?"
Su Zimo stared blankly for a moment, then immediately understood.
It was no wonder that he had felt a suction force from his wrist in the Thousand Year Blood Sea.
However, when he released the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra and was surrounded by the young master of Levitating Goat Peak and the other five, he almost went berserk and did not think too much about it.
He did not expect that the energy accumulated in the blood ocean for a thousand years would not only boost his cultivation but also help Hokkaidōjin!
"Actually, the energy that was originally deposited in the blood sea was not enough for me to recover my cultivation."
Hokkaidōjin replied, "However, seven high-level fiend demons entered the Blood Sea later on and died mysteriously, causing the energy within the Blood Sea to surge. That was how I obtained enough energy."
"The reason why I did not attack you during your escape was because I was digesting the massive energy within the Blood Sea."
"That Overlord was extremely strong. If I hadn't recovered seventy to eighty percent of my combat strength, it would have been difficult for me to kill him. That was the reason why I did not attack recklessly."
At that point, Hokkaidōjin shook his head gently and lamented, "You're way too gutsy. You're at the Nascent Soul realm and yet, you wanted to kill an Overlord that was two major cultivation realms above you. Truly … "
Su Zimo felt a lingering fear when he recalled what happened.
An Overlord was far stronger than he had imagined!
He had released all his trump cards and caught the Overlord of Levitating Goat Peak by surprise with the Divine Phoenix Claw. However, he was still unable to kill the Overlord of Levitating Goat Peak.
If not for Hokkaidōjin, he would have been dead!
Although he had benefited immensely from this trip to the Blood Sea, it was truly perilous as well.
Not only was he hunted down by an Overlord, there seemed to be some unknown danger within that sinister and sinister blood sea as well!
Seven high-level fiend demons died mysteriously and were killed instantly by a bubble that floated from the bottom of the sea, destroying their Essence Spirits!
Was it really just a coincidence that the seemingly harmless bubble brushed past him?
Su Zimo still felt a lingering fear when he recalled that scene.
"Senior, that blood sea …"
The moment Su Zimo spoke, Hokkaidōjin's expression changed and he interrupted, "Don't return to that place!"
"There's definitely something extremely terrifying in the depths of that blood sea!" Hokkaidōjin said sternly.
If even Hokkaidōjin was like that, Su Zimo realized that the secret of the blood sea was definitely not something that he could come into contact with given his cultivation realm!
After a moment of silence, Su Zimo looked at Hokkaidōjin with a worried look in his eyes as he asked softly, "Senior, what about your body?"
Although one would lose their bodies after cultivating to the Void Reversion and Dharma Characteristic realm, they would not die.
However, their combat strength would decrease sharply without their bodies and they would not be able to release many Dharmic arts.
Furthermore, without the protection of their bodies, their Essence Spirits would become extremely fragile when exposed.
It was akin to a person without the protection of a spirit vessel floating in a treacherous sea that was filled with danger and could die at any moment!
There were two ways to obtain a body.
The first was through possession!
However, the conditions for possession were harsh and the cultivation realm of the person being possessed could not be too low.
The process of possession was extremely dangerous and one could easily be devoured if they were not careful!
Furthermore, every cultivator could only possess a body once in their lifetime.
The second was to obtain a perfectly preserved Dharma Characteristic body.
That was not easy to do as well.
What sort of people were Dharma Daojun?
It was extremely difficult to obtain their bodies.
Furthermore, it was a perfectly preserved Dharma Characteristic body.
The greatest possibility was that a Dharma Characteristic cultivator was killed by an Essence Spirit secret skill. That was the reason why their bodies were intact but their Essence Spirits were destroyed!
When he heard Su Zimo's question, Hokkaidōjin swept his gaze towards Su Zimo and asked with a fake smile, "Aren't you worried that I'll possess you?"
Su Zimo was stunned for a moment before shaking his head.
Back in Cang Lang Mountain Range, Hokkaidōjin had saved his life.
Just Now, Hokkaidōjin had saved him once more.
Su Zimo did not believe that Hokkaidōjin would possess him.
Hokkaidōjin had a strange expression and his tone suddenly turned sinister as he said coldly, "Although the difference in our cultivation realms is too great, your body and bloodline can be said to be perfect and unparalleled!"
"If you possess my body, it's definitely a win-win situation for me! As long as I cultivate a little, I'll be able to recover to my original state and my combat strength will be even greater than before! "
Su Zimo laughed involuntarily and shook his head again.
When Hokkaidōjin saw how certain Su Zimo was, he no longer tried to scare the latter and his expression returned to normal. "I'm heartened that you can trust me. However, I still have to remind you. "
"Your body can be said to be extremely terrifying at this point of your cultivation. There's no cultivator in the world who isn't tempted, including me!"
The fact that Hokkaidōjin could say that was already considered as a sincere gesture.
Hokkaidōjin continued, "In the cultivation world, the strong preys on the weak and it's extremely cruel. I won't possess you, but that doesn't mean that other cultivators won't do the same."
"Although I've saved you before, there's a high chance that I have other motives. You have to be careful in the future and not trust others easily."
Su Zimo nodded.
In reality, the reason why Su Zimo was so certain was not only because Hokkaidōjin had saved him before.
It was also because of his spirit perception!
After cultivating the Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness, Die Yue forced him to survive in Cang Lang Mountain Range. Countless bloody battles and countless close shaves of life and death had honed a unique sense of danger that was unpredictable!
That was Su Zimo's greatest reliance.
Through his spirit perception, he could not sense any killing intent from Hokkaidōjin towards him.
