Chapter 1438: Soul Searching

Translator: Legge

Monk Daming went forward and captured the Essence Spirits of the three Blood Vine Half-Martial Ancestors as well.

At that moment, the Essence Spirits of the six Blood Vine Half-Martial Ancestors were imprisoned by Monk Daming!

Monk Daming had an indifferent expression as a transparent ball of light appeared in his palm. The Essence Spirits of Elder Cang Xi and the other Blood Vine Half-Martial Ancestors were imprisoned within.

Suddenly!

Black fiend qi appeared on the surface of the ball of light and coiled towards the Essence Spirits of the six Blood Vine Half-Martial Ancestors as though it was sentient.

In the blink of an eye, many black fiend qi coiled around the Essence Spirits of the six Blood Vine Half-Martial Ancestors and restricted them like chains!

“Soul Searching Art!”

Su Zimo exclaimed.

What Monk Daming was releasing right now was the secret skill, Soul Searching, from the Dao Heart Fiend Seed Sutra!

In the Dao Inheritance Ground, Su Zimo used that secret skill to obtain the Green Thunder Manual in Dao Being Zephyr Thunder’s memories and fused it to obtain the complete Great Void Spirit Refinement section.

To think that Monk Daming knew the secret skill of the fiend sects as well!

The more he interacted with Monk Daming, the more he could sense how terrifying this person was.

In fact, Su Zimo suspected that there was a high chance Monk Daming was still holding back on his combat strength!

‘What does he want?’

‘Is he searching the memories of the six Blood Vine Half-Martial Ancestors because there’s some secret or is it because he wants to get his hands on some cultivation techniques?’

Su Zimo was puzzled.

Monk Daming’s actions were clearly not a spur of the moment decision—he had planned this long ago.

Right from the beginning, he had not killed any Blood Vine Half-Martial Ancestors just for this moment!

The Essence Spirits of the six Blood Vine Half-Martial Ancestors were withering rapidly!

Suddenly!

The Essence Spirit of a Blood Vine Half-Martial Ancestor exploded and disintegrated.

The Soul Searching Art had a high chance of failure!

If the Essence Spirit that underwent the Soul Searching Art resisted continuously and affected the process, it would fail.

Before long, Elder Cang Xi’s Essence Spirit exploded as well and he died!

Two Blood Vine Half-Martial Ancestor Essence Spirits died in succession and it was clear that Monk Daming did not obtain anything from their memories.

However, his expression was calm and there was no hint of frustration or dejection as he continued to use the Soul Searching Art.

There were no more surprises thereafter.

Monk Daming closed his eyes and searched through the memories of the four Half-Martial Ancestors for what he needed!

Seven Kills Peak.

In that short period of time, Su Zimo’s Essence Spirit and Dharmic powers had recovered significantly.

He arrived at the place where Teng Lingzi died and picked up the latter’s storage bag under a pile of grisly corpses.

Circulating his spirit consciousness, Su Zimo erased the spirit consciousness imprint on the storage bag and opened it.

There were many elixirs and Dharmic weapons in the storage bag.

In the cultivation world, those were superior-grade treasures.

However, they did not interest Su Zimo.

His body was a Grade 7 Creation Green Lotus—what Dharmic weapon could compare to it?

Even Teng Lingzi’s Blood Gourd was ruptured by the Creation Green Lotus!

Suddenly!

Su Zimo focused his gaze on a piece of wood.

The piece of wood looked extremely old and was more than ten feet long. It was as thick as a water barrel and emitted a tremendous amount of lifeforce with a hint of warmth.

Furthermore, Su Zimo had an indescribable familiarity towards that piece of wood.

Without mistake, this should be the Ashoka Wood!

The Saraca Flower had long fused into his body.

Therefore, he felt a sense of familiarity when he faced the Ashoka Wood.

Looking at the large piece of wood, Su Zimo felt emotional and sighed internally.

It was because of that piece of wood that Southern Duel Sect was destroyed and hundreds of thousands of cultivators were buried here with grievances!

Right then, Su Zimo sensed something and looked up.

Monk Daming had already completed the Soul Searching Art with a calm expression.

Even Su Zimo did not know if Monk Daming obtained what he needed.

Nobody knew what Monk Daming was thinking.

Nobody knew the plans of Monk Daming either!

After the Soul Searching Art, the Essence Spirits of two Blood Vine Half-Martial Ancestors were already dead.

As for the other two Blood Vine Half-Martial Ancestors, their Essence Spirits were dazed and lost their memories—they were completely dumbfounded!

Monk Daming rubbed his hands casually and killed the two Half-Martial Ancestor Essence Spirits before heading towards Seven Kills Peak.

To be fair, Su Zimo did not know whether Monk Daming was now good or evil, Buddhist, fiend, foe or even friend.

He could not confirm anything.

It was as though good, evil, Buddha, fiend and righteousness had fused perfectly into this person without any bit of awkwardness.

Although Monk Daming helped him earlier on, he would not be surprised if Monk Daming suddenly killed him the next moment.

Even so, Su Zimo did not leave.

He had many questions in his mind—perhaps he could get an answer from Monk Daming!

“You seem like you have many questions?”

Right then, Monk Daming stepped foot on Seven Kills Peak with a wise gaze. As though he could read Su Zimo’s mind, he asked with a fake smile.

“Yes!”

Su Zimo did not hide anything and asked directly, “Are you Monk Daming?”

Everything about Monk Daming’s identity was merely Su Zimo’s speculation.

Therefore, he had to confirm this matter first.

“I was,”

Monk Daming smiled gently and did not hide anything.

That was an acknowledgment.

Su Zimo nodded and asked again, “In the battle of Heaven and Earth Valley, an expert hid in the dark. Although he did not appear the entire time, he attacked many times. That was you, right?”

“Yes,”

Monk Daming smiled.

“Amazing capabilities,”

Su Zimo said, “All the experts of the world were under your control and you left nothing out! Impressive!”

After a brief pause, he continued, “But no matter what, I only managed to escape thanks to your help. I’m grateful.”

“It’s nothing much, it was just a matter of convenience,”

Monk Daming smiled. “It’s the same today. I’m here because I have other motives, so I helped you out of convenience.”

“Oh?”

Su Zimo raised his brow and suddenly asked, “If I’m not wrong, you should have arrived here a long time ago, right? Why did you only appear after I fought against the Blood Vine race to the end?”

Of course, that was easy to explain.

Monk Daming wanted to wait till he was exhausted from fighting with the Blood Vine race before standing out so that he could clean up the mess easily.

However, Su Zimo felt that this was not Monk Daming’s true thoughts!

Monk Daming must have another motive!

True enough!

Monk Daming went silent for a moment when he heard Su Zimo’s question.

After a moment, he said slowly, “I wanted to see if you’ll use the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra in that desperate situation.”

“And if I did?”

Su Zimo narrowed his eyes and asked.

“I might kill you,”

Monk Daming replied indifferently.

Su Zimo could sense that Monk Daming was not joking..
