Eternal Sacred King - Chapter 2413

2413 Five Cities Twelve Towers
Su Zimo said, “The true test left behind by Immortal Emperor Dawn Twilight was actually in the hall of the Dawn Bell and the Twilight Drum.”

“Only those that obtain the baptism of the Dawn Bell and the Twilight Drum’s Dharmic Daos will not be rejected by the Jade Pure Jade Manual at the end.”

Lin Luo was enlightened.

Even if Ying Tian and Lang Qianqian did not tear the teleportation talisman and were teleported away, they would not have been able to obtain the Jade Pure Jade Manual.

Earlier on, when Lin Luo tried to make contact with the Jade Pure Jade Manual, she suffered a backlash.

Su Zimo’s spirit consciousness browsed through the Jade Pure Jade Manual briefly and he felt that the cultivation technique recorded on it did not seem to be just a simple body tempering technique. Instead, there were other uses.

However, now was not the time to cultivate.

“Where are we?”

Su Zimo looked around and asked softly.

Before he entered the Jade Pure Jade Manual, he was in Heaven and Earth Academy.

But now that he had exited the Jade Pure Jade Manual, it was clear that he had arrived at an unfamiliar place. He was surrounded by towering mountains and lush greenery without any emblems.

Lin Luo pondered for a moment. “If I’m not wrong, this should be the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain.”

“Oh?”

Su Zimo was slightly surprised—he did not know how Lin Luo determined it.

Lin Luo explained, “Before this, the inheritance of the Grand Pure Jade Manual appeared in the Grand Firmament Immortal Domain. The Jade Pure Jade Manual should be in the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain.”

Pausing for a moment, she pointed to their surroundings. “Furthermore, there are many peach blossom trees in the forest here.”

Su Zimo had noticed it as well.

The surrounding forest was filled with ancient trees and there were indeed peach blossom trees growing within—there were many of them.

That did seem a little strange.

In a normal ancient forest, even if there were peach blossom trees, there would not be such a large number of them.

Su Zimo frowned slightly. “But what has the peach blossom tree got to do with the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain?”

Lin Luo looked at Su Zimo in surprise. When she saw that he was puzzled and did not seem to be faking it, she explained patiently, “You should know that the Essence Qi in the Heavenly World is much richer than on other stars.”

“It’s because in the center of the Heavenly World, there’s a sacred tree called the Builder Tree. It gathers Heaven and Earth Essence Qi and connects to the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain, the Pure Land of Bliss and the Fiend Domain.”

Su Zimo nodded.

Back on the Dragon Abyss Star, the City Lord, Xu Shi, had mentioned this to him.

“That’s right.”
Lin Luo said, “However, in reality, apart from the Builder Tree in the middle of the Heavenly World, be it the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain, Pure Land of Bliss or the Fiend Domain, they all have spirit herbs and immortal wood that belong to their respective territories that gather Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.”

Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat as he came to a realization. “I heard that the Pure Land of Bliss has three sacred trees. In the Fiend Domain, there’s also the saying of the Undying Tree.”

Lin Luo smiled. “In the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain, there are also immortal trees holding down and absorbing Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.”

“For example, in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain you’re in, there’s a Mystic Frost Plum Tree. It’s said that this tree absorbs the coldest qi in the world. The surroundings of the plum tree are frozen and filled with frost, extinguishing all life.”

“As for our Green Firmament Immortal Domain, there’s an Immortal Willow. It once survived a calamity and was reborn from lightning, growing even stronger than before.”

At that point, Lin Luo paused for a moment. “In the first hall of the Jade Pure Palace earlier on, I fought with you for a withered branch.”

Su Zimo nodded—that was indeed the case back then.

However, he was the one who obtained the withered branch first and Lin Luo did not continue fighting for it. Both parties separated the moment they made contact and there was no intense conflict.

Lin Luo smiled. “The withered branch you obtained was actually a remnant branch of the Immortal Willow.”

“I see.”

Su Zimo recalled the scene back then. The reason why he snatched this withered branch was because the Green Lotus True Body had a reaction and wanted to devour and refine it.

From the looks of it, this withered branch was a treasure of the same level as the Ashoka Tree Trunk.

Su Zimo thought for a moment. “In that case, the immortal wood in the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain should be a peach blossom tree?”

“To be precise, it’s an ancient Immortal Peach Tree.”

Lin Luo said, “It’s also because of this Immortal Peach Tree that there are many peach blossom trees in the territory of the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain.”

Su Zimo asked, “Where are the spirit herbs and immortal wood such as the Mystic Frost Plum Tree? I’ve been in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain for many years. Why haven’t I seen them before?”

Lin Luo smiled. “Immortal wood as such are naturally hidden in the various palaces of the Emperors with heavy security. Furthermore, they are guarded by the Immortal Kings and Emperors.”

“For example, the Mystic Frost Plum Tree is in the Divine Firmament Palace while the Immortal Peach Tree is in the depths of the Jade Firmament Palace. There’s no chance to see it usually.”

Pausing for a moment, Lin Luo continued, “However, the various Immortal Domains will hold their own Heaven Ranking competitions. At that time, various factions and paragons will be invited to gather in the palace and they might have a chance to come into contact with these immortal trees.”

“If you can be ranked in the Heaven Ranking, you will have a chance to obtain some benefits from these immortal trees.”

“These immortal trees are nurtured by Heaven and Earth and have their own sentience. Be it leaves or fruits, they are rich in essence energy and have immense strength. They provide an unimaginable boost to one’s cultivation!”

Su Zimo nodded.

The Heaven Ranking competition was not only for fame, but also for rich rewards.

Back then, he obtained many opportunities in the Earth Ranking competition and even repaired the Hell Suppression Tripod completely.

It was also a large part of the reason why he was able to avoid danger in his trip to Avici.

“What are your plans?”

Su Zimo asked.

“I wanted to return to the Green Firmament Immortal Domain as soon as possible and test out these two treasures for father to see if they are effective.”

Lin Luo looked at Su Zimo with a hint of anticipation in her eyes. “Fellow Daoist, if you have nothing on, why don’t you follow me to the Green Firmament Immortal Domain? Father, mother and the others will definitely be extremely happy if they know that an old friend from Tianhuang Mainland has ascended.”

Su Zimo had benefited quite a bit this time round. Initially, he was prepared to return to Heaven and Earth Academy and cultivate in seclusion once more.

However, at the thought of the Human Emperor who was severely injured as well as Fairy Ling Long, he felt a sense of worry.

If he could meet Fairy Ling Long, he could ask her some of the questions that had been bothering him for the past few years.

When Lin Luo saw Su Zimo’s hesitation, she smiled. “There’s no need to make a decision in a hurry. No matter what, we have to find a teleportation formation first.”

“If we have to rely on our legs, be it the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain or the Green Firmament Immortal Domain, we won’t be able to reach them without a hundred years.”

Su Zimo heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s right.”

Lin Luo took out a map from his storage bag and compared it carefully.

Teleportation formations that could cross the Immortal Domains were rare.

In the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain, similar teleportation formations were only possessed by the three Immortal Kingdoms, four immortal sects and the Divine Firmament Palace.

“The teleportation formation closest to this place should be here.”

Lin Luo pointed to an ancient city emblem on the map.

“Langfeng City.”

Su Zimo looked at the ancient city and murmured softly.

Lin Luo nodded. “The Jade Firmament Immortal Domain is also known as the White Jade Capital. There’s even a poem describing it. Up in the heavens, the White Jade Capital houses five cities and 12 towers; its glory shall grant all longevity.”

“Langfeng City is one of the five cities!”
