Eternal Sacred King

2075 Out of Seclusion

Divine Firmament Immortal Domain, Great Jin Immortal Kingdom.

Solar Luna County, Astral Sect.

It had been more than 1,500 years since Su Zimo entered seclusion.

All these years, he had not appeared.

Even the vicinity of his cave abode was filled with weeds. Furthermore, they grew extremely well and covered the cave abode.

If not for the fact that they could sense a faint lifeforce within the cave abode, many people would have thought that the drunkard from back then had already died within.

Back when he joined Astral Sect, the changes that happened on the stargazing platform were gradually forgotten by everyone as well…

Except Shangguan Qian of the Shangguan family.

Her cave abode was near Su Zimo's cave abode.

Every once in a while, she would come over to take a look.

"This person sure knows how to stone. He's probably in a drunken stupor in his cave abode and has long lost track of time,"

Not far away, a young man laid on a green stone and crossed his legs.

Another person said, "In my opinion, it's useless for us to waste time here. Who knows when that drunkard will come out of seclusion."

Xie Yong, a clansman of the Xie clan.

The other was Lin Gong, a clansman of the Lin clan. Both of them were Grade 1 Earth Immortals.

Back then, Xie Tianfeng and Lin Ming wanted to cause trouble for Su Zimo. However, they were blocked by the array formation outside the cave abode and casually sent two clansmen to watch over Su Zimo instead.

In the blink of an eye, more than a thousand years had passed.

"This drunkard sure is strange,"

Xie Yong said, "Normally, cultivators who join Astral Sect would bear a sliver of hope of finding the legendary cultivation technique in Astral Sect. However, this drunkard has never shown himself."

"That's right. He hasn't participated in any of the events and fights held by the sect," Lin Gong replied.

"Say, this person hasn't even done a sect mission before. Where is he going to get Essence Spirit Stones and Major Essence Condensation Pills to cultivate?"

"I reckon that even if this drunkard can complete any mission for the sect, he'll definitely exchange the rewards for wine."

"Haha!"

Both of them burst into laughter.

Right then, a creaking sound came from the cave abode not far away.

Xie Yong and Lin Gong were stunned and looked over hurriedly.

The door of the cave abode that was overgrown with weeds was opening slowly. Dust scattered and billowed.

Immediately after, a violent gust of wind surged out from the cave abode and dispersed the dust at the entrance.

A tall figure swayed out—it was the drunkard called Mo Ling!

"This person has actually come out of seclusion!"

Xie Yong heaved a sigh of relief.

When he saw that this person was out of seclusion, he could finally return to report and no longer have to watch over him.

"Brother Xie, something doesn't seem right,"

Just as Xie Yong was about to leave, Lin Gong suddenly grabbed him and said.

"Why?"

Xie Yong was in a hurry to report and asked impatiently.

Lin Gong asked, "I remember that the drunkard was only a Grade 1 Earth Immortal when he joined Astral Sect."

"That's right,"

Xie Yong nodded.

Thereafter, he could tell what Lin Gong was implying and could not help but jump in shock. He asked hurriedly, "Why? Has he broken through to the Level 2 Earth Essence realm?"

Anyone who could break through a level in 1,500 years was a genius among geniuses.

Even for disciples groomed by sects or successors of aristocratic families with sufficient cultivation resources, it was difficult for them to reach this level.

"He didn't break through to the Level 2 Earth Essence realm,"

Seemingly scared out of his wits, Lin Gong shook his head. "Take a look for yourself. I might be seeing things."

Xie Yong turned around and released his spirit consciousness to check.

Psst!

Xie Yong's expression changed starkly!

Level 4 Earth Essence realm!

Three levels in 1,500 years!

Xie Yong's mouth was agape in disbelief.

"H-How is this possible…"

Xie Yong could not accept it and murmured repeatedly.

When he wanted to check on the drunkard's cultivation again, he raised his head and realized that the latter had already flown into the air and disappeared from their line of sight.

"Level 4 Earth Essence realm?"

Lin Gong asked.

Xie Yong nodded with difficulty.

The two of them exchanged glances and stood up hurriedly, prepared to report this matter to Xie Tianfeng and Lin Ming.

Naturally, Su Zimo noticed the existence of Xie Yong and Lin Gong.

However, he ignored the two of them.

The reason why he joined Astral Sect this time round was because he wanted to make use of the sect's cover to cultivate in seclusion.

He did not want to provoke anyone or attract any trouble.

Su Zimo had benefited immensely from this seclusion.

He had comprehended the Prajna Nirvana Sutra, Void Thunder Manual and Divine Elephant Breathing Technique.

The secret skill imparted by the Black Tortoise Sacred Soul had also been cultivated to lesser mastery.

Furthermore, his cultivation realm was already at the Level 4 Earth Essence realm!

His Essence Spirit was at the Level 6 Earth Essence realm!

Even in the entire Heavenly World, there were few people who could surpass such a cultivation speed, let alone Xie Tianfeng and Lin Ming.

The main reason was because of the Green Lotus True Body and the Taboo Mystic Classic, the Prajna Nirvana Sutra.

More importantly, the reason why he came out of seclusion this time round was because his cultivation resources were depleted.

Although his cultivation realm could still advance if he continued in seclusion and cultivated with Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, his speed would definitely become extremely slow.

Su Zimo wanted to raise his cultivation as soon as possible!

His old friends from the lower worlds, monkey, Tao Yao, Nian Qi, Beiming Xue, Carefree, Lin Xuanji, Ming Zhen and the others had already ascended.

In the lower worlds, these people were paragons and monster incarnates who ruled over a region.

However, in the upper world, everyone had to experience everything he had experienced. In fact, they might even face situations that were more dangerous and be subjected to worse environments!

The only way he could protect himself and his old friends in Tianhuang Mainland was if he raised his cultivation as soon as possible.

Su Zimo arrived before a stele on Main Peak Alkaid.

Lines of words were written on the stele—they were all sect missions issued by Astral Sect.

They were divided into three grades—black, earth and heaven—and corresponded to cultivators of different cultivation realms.

Depending on the difficulty level, missions of each grade were divided into different types and marked with stars.

Nine stars were the most difficult and there was a high chance of death.

A single star was the easiest.

Upon completing the mission, one would obtain contribution points from the sect and could exchange for some cultivation resources, elixirs, cultivation techniques and secret skills from Astral Sect.

This was the case for most sects of the upper world.

For example, among the earth-grade missions, the one at the bottom with a difficulty of one star required one to search for a spirit herb.

The contribution points exchanged were only enough to exchange for a Major Essence Condensation Pill.

Minor Essence Condensation Pills were used for cultivation in the Black Essence realm.

At the Earth Essence realm, apart from Essence Spirit Stones, one could also consume Major Essence Condensation Pills.

Su Zimo's gaze shifted to another stele.

That stele was a special mission issued by the sect and could be accepted by cultivators of any cultivation realm.

The rewards were not contribution points either, but Essence Spirit Stones, Major Essence Condensation Pills or specific items.

The first was to look for someone.

There was a portrait posted on it. He had green robes, black hair and refined features—it was Su Zimo.
