2074 Traveling the World
Everyone from Tianhuang Mainland lamented when they saw that.
One person suppressed an entire world singlehandedly!
Who would have believed it if they had not seen it themselves?
The storyteller was even more excited.
Every generation’s storyteller bore the responsibility of writing about the civilization of Tianhuang Mainland, inheriting the spirit of the human race to impart merits and the Great Dao.
The original intention of Fairy Ling Long when she established Enigma Palace was to impart the Dao.
In Enigma Palace, every Emperor would have the storyteller pass down a personal legacy for them.
Back then, before Su Zimo was conferred the title of Emperor, the Mystic Emperor wrote a legacy for him because he established the Martial Dao and imparted martial arts to all living beings.
The Mystic Emperor once said that he did not name the legacy and left its title blank instead.
He did not know what Su Zimo’s future accomplishments would be.
Therefore, this legacy could only be completed by the storyteller of the next generation.
Later on, the battle of the ten thousand races broke out in Tianhuang Mainland as well as the Blood Fiend catastrophe. At that time, the Mystic Emperor had already become the Palace Guardian of the Human Emperor’s Palace and Lin Xuanji officially became the storyteller of that generation.
Lin Xuanji recorded the two unprecedented battles in that legacy.
Before Lin Xuanji ascended, he chose the next storyteller.
Initially, he had intended to fill in the name of the legacy of the Martial Emperor.
However, before he did it, he changed his mind and left it blank still.
Right now, the legacy had already been passed down to this generation’s storyteller.
Under normal circumstances, Tianhuang Mainland would enter a long period of recuperation after experiencing the battle of the ten thousand races and the Blood Fiend catastrophe.
Initially, the storyteller of this generation thought that Tianhuang Mainland after the Martial Emperor era was ordinary and boring.
However, he had not expected that he would personally witness the Martial Emperor conquer God’s Mainland and suppress an entire world singlehandedly. It was an incomparably resplendent and unprecedented battle!
Be it in terms of meaning, impact or the powerful methods displayed by various parties, this battle was not weaker than the battle of the ten thousand races and the Blood Fiend catastrophe!
The storyteller was extremely excited to be able to witness and even record it personally.
Before long, under the gazes of everyone in Tianhuang Mainland, Su Zimo walked over with a little girl from the God race.
“Zimo, are you alright?”
Ji Yaoxue asked softly.
Su Zimo smiled and nodded. Arriving before Ji Yaoxue, he handed her the God’s Crown.
“What are you doing?”
Ji Yaoxue lowered her head slightly and blushed.
As though he did not notice it, Su Zimo turned to the little girl from the God race and said, “Release the secret skill of the God race and activate this God’s Crown so that it can flow with the power of faith.”
Nian Qing was from the God race and she was the only one who could use the God’s Crown.
Ji Yaoxue also realized that there might be a reason why Su Zimo gave her the God’s Crown.
Nian Qing nodded and channeled her blood qi, releasing her spirit consciousness to condense a secret skill.
Nian Qing’s cultivation realm was not high enough.
A long time later, the eight gems on the God’s Crown shone gently and a milky-white glow flowed down slowly, landing on Ji Yaoxue like a waterfall.
Su Zimo’s spirit consciousness locked onto Ji Yaoxue and sensed the changes in her body.
After a moment, Nian Qing’s Essence Spirit was weak and could no longer activate the God’s Crown. Her face was pale as she panted slightly.
The power of faith that flowed down from the God’s Crown was severed as well.
“Is it still not enough…”
Su Zimo murmured internally and his eyes dimmed.
He could see that Ji Yaoxue’s cultivation realm showed no signs of breaking through and her lifespan did not increase either.
All these years, in order to help Ji Yaoxue extend her lifespan, he had searched for countless treasures and thought of countless methods.
However, it was all futile in the end.
This time round, when he sensed the mystical power of faith, his first reaction was to ask Ji Yaoxue to try and see if she could break through and extend her lifespan.
Unfortunately…
The combat strength of the Martial Dao Prime Body was invincible in the lower worlds.
His cultivation realm was already comparable to an Earth Immortal.
Even if he could establish the Martial Dao, impart martial arts to all living beings and smelt all Dharmic arts…
He was still helpless against this matter.
This also meant that if there was no other way, Ji Yaoxue only had a thousand years left to live!
For mortals, a thousand years was a long time.
However, for cultivators, it was fleeting.
Although he suppressed God’s Mainland today and resolved the greatest hidden ailment of Tianhuang Mainland, even obtaining a complete Essence Spirit Mine, Su Zimo did not feel any joy in his heart.
Everyone in Tianhuang Mainland could sense the change in the Martial Emperor’s emotions, but none of them knew the reason.
Ji Yaoxue smiled gently and removed the God’s Crown. She handed it back to Su Zimo and asked gently, “Are you worried about me?”
Su Zimo received the God’s Crown quietly and lowered his gaze in silence.
Ji Yaoxue smiled. “Zimo, actually, I no longer have any regrets after seeing you again.”
“I’m elated right now,”
Ji Yaoxue did not want Su Zimo to be overly upset. Instead, she smiled and consoled him.
“What are your plans next?”
Taking a deep breath of air, Su Zimo finally raised his head and asked Ji Yaoxue.
“I have no idea as well,”
Ji Yaoxue shook her head gently.
Suddenly, Su Zimo said, “Let’s go out for a walk.”
“Ah!”
Ji Yaoxue froze for a moment and asked instinctively, “Where?”
“To other minor chiliocosms,”
Su Zimo smiled. “There are a billion minor chiliocosms like Tianhuang Mainland in the lower worlds and each minor chiliocosm is different. They have different civilizations, legacies and living beings. They are quirky and filled with all sorts of strange things…”
Ji Yaoxue’s eyes shone brightly when she heard that.
Even the others in Tianhuang Mainland yearned to go out and broaden their horizons, let alone her.
Those were worlds that were different from Tianhuang Mainland and God’s Mainland!
What sort of civilizations, structures and customs were there in those minor chiliocosms?
Everything was unknown and new.
Unfortunately, even the Emperors of Tianhuang Mainland present did not have the ability to travel through the billion minor chiliocosms at will, let alone bring someone else along.
“I-I… O-Of course that’s good. However, aren’t you going to choose to ascend? Will it affect your cultivation?”
Ji Yaoxue was a little happy, excited and worried.
“There’s no hurry to ascend,”
Su Zimo smiled. “Cultivating is boring and it’s rare that I’m able to take a break as such. I can take the time to travel around. Of course, that’s if the Empress of Great Zhou is willing as well.”
Ji Yaoxue pretended to be dignified and pondered for a moment before replying.
“Granted.”
Although Ji Yaoxue had a stern expression, her eyes were so beautiful that they seemed like they were smiling on their own.
At that moment, both of them seemed to have abandoned their identities.
Su Zimo was not the Martial Emperor.
Ji Yaoxue was not the empress either.
It was as though time had reversed and the two of them had returned to that night when they first met. They looked at each other and smiled, feeling the same way.
There was no lust in their eyes and their gazes were clear, pure and beautiful.
In Su Zimo’s heart, Ji Yaoxue was different from others after all.
Back then, when Su Hong was in his twilight years, he was trapped at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley and did not have the chance to be by Su Hong’s side.
Now, Su Zimo did not want to leave any regrets.
Even if the two of them were not fated to be Dao companions in this lifetime, it did not affect Ji Yaoxue’s status in his heart.
He would choose to accompany Ji Yaoxue on this final journey.
