The Martial Dao Prime Body continued forward.
The coldness in the depths of the North Sea was even more intense and the Yin wind was chilling to the bones. Even the Martial Dao Prime Body had to channel his bloodline with all his might to withstand the coldness!
No life could be sensed within the range of the Martial Dao Prime Body’s spirit consciousness anymore.
He was already in the depths of the North Sea!
Right then, the Martial Dao Prime Body looked into the distance and his heart skipped a beat.
On the distant horizon, there were no longer snow-white glaciers. Instead, a dark ocean with an extremely cold aura appeared.
Even the outermost perimeter of the North Sea was frozen all year round.
This was already the depths of the North Sea. However, there was an ocean that could withstand the surrounding cold without any signs of freezing!
When he got closer and stood at the edge of the glacier and gazed at the deep ocean, the shock he felt was even more intense!
The ocean was bottomless and boundless with a frightening calmness. It was as though there was an extremely terrifying life form hidden deep in the ocean that could explode at any moment and create torrential waves!
The Martial Dao Prime Body knew that this was the legendary forbidden ground of the Kun race—Beiming!
“Carefree, your home is here,”
The Martial Dao Prime Body removed Carefree from his storage bag and said softly.
Although Carefree was afraid of the Martial Dao Prime Body in his heart, he had already gained sentience and knew that the Martial Dao Prime Body was his master. At that moment, he was extremely reluctant and dawdled, unwilling to leave.
“Go on,”
The Martial Dao Prime Body waved his hand. “Cultivate well. Perhaps I’ll look for you again one day. I hope that you’ll still acknowledge me as your master at that time.”
The Kun Peng egg was still motionless.
The Martial Dao Prime Body smiled gently and gave a light push.
Thump!
Water splashed everywhere.
The Kun Peng egg fell into the deep ocean and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The Kun Peng had returned to Beiming!
The Martial Dao Prime Body did not linger and turned to leave.
He knew very well that if nothing went wrong, that Kun Peng egg would cause a huge stir in the Beiming and the Kun race would definitely hatch it with all their might!
At that time, the Kun race with the Taboo Kun Peng would most likely be a power that could change the situation in Tianhuang Mainland!
With this done, the Martial Dao Prime Body headed towards Ping Yang Town, prepared to continue his seclusion.
Time was running out.
Although Su Zimo had three true bodies, if a massive battle that affected the entire cultivation world were to break out in Tianhuang Mainland, the strength of those three true bodies would not be enough!
He had to advance to the Mahayana realm as soon as possible and become an Ancestor realm expert!
…
At the same time, the Green Lotus True Body had already left the territory of the three aristocratic families and arrived near a temple with a long history.
One of the six Buddhist monasteries, Dapamkara Monastery!
Su Zimo had not seen Ming Zhen since the Dao Inheritance Ground.
All the major sects and factions gathered for the battle of Heaven and Earth Valley but Ming Zhen did not appear.
That was still considered normal.
However, it was odd that Ming Zhen did not appear even with the passing of Patriarch Yuan Bei!
Given Ming Zhen and Patriarch Yuan Bei’s relationship, he would definitely rush back to the North Region the moment he heard about this matter.
However, Ming Zhen did not appear the entire time.
Furthermore, Su Zimo received no news of Ming Zhen. Even the spirit crane that he sent to Dapamkara Monastery received no response.
This time round, Su Zimo arrived at the South Region by some freak coincidence. As such, he made a move to head to Dapamkara Monastery!
Dapamkara Monastery had a long history and every single building in the monastery exuded an ancient aura that was filled with signs of time.
Su Zimo descended from midair.
Usually, one would head through the entrance to inform others about their first visit.
If he were to travel through the air, firstly, it would be disrespectful and secondly, it would easily lead to misunderstandings.
On both sides of the entrance of Dapamkara Monastery stood a little monk.
Although the two little monks were not old, both of them were at the Golden Core realm!
“Patron, stop!”
A little monk reached out with his tiny hands and stopped Su Zimo from afar. “Patron, may I ask why you are at Dapamkara Monastery?”
“I’m Desolate Martial and I’m here at Dapamkara Monastery to look for an old friend. Fellow Daoists, please enter and inform him,”
When Su Zimo approached, he did not put on any airs as a Mighty Figure nor did he make things difficult for the two little Golden Core monks. Instead, he cupped his fists and explained his intentions.
“Desolate Martial?”
The two little monks turned their heads slightly and frowned in deep thought.
“That name sounds familiar,”
One of the little monks muttered.
All of a sudden!
The other little monk seemed to have thought of something and his expression changed as he exclaimed, “Y-You’re Dao Lord Desolate Martial!”
“N-No! You’re Mighty Figure Desolate Martial?”
The little monk’s face was pale and his mouth was quivering.
The other little monk looked at Su Zimo with widened eyes and said instinctively, “Legend has it that Desolate Martial has green robes, black hair, refined features… there’s no mistake about it!”
“Y-You! Patron… no, senior! Wait here for a moment! I’ll inform about your arrival right away!”
One of the little monks muttered incoherently before turning to flee.
The other little monk was also scared out of his wits and ran up the mountain, not daring to linger!
Su Zimo shook his head gently and laughed.
It was no wonder why the two little monks were so frightened.
Back in the Ximen villa, even a Conjoint Body Mighty Figure was stunned by Desolate Martial’s name and did not dare to attack him, let alone two little Golden Core monks.
Su Zimo was in no hurry. He stood at the entrance of the mountain and closed his eyes to rest, waiting quietly.
Time slowly passed.
Before long, an hour passed.
The two little monks seemed to have disappeared and did not return.
Su Zimo’s expression was unchanged and his eyes were still closed.
In the blink of an eye, two hours passed.
Su Zimo frowned.
Even if anything went wrong in between, two hours was more than enough time for the news to be sent!
Su Zimo took a deep breath and did not act rashly, continuing to wait.
Four hours.
Six hours!
The sun in the west gradually set.
Su Zimo finally opened his eyes. Expressionlessly, he said slowly, “I’m Desolate Martial and I’ve come to Dapamkara Monastery to meet an old friend! He is the titular disciple of Dapamkara Monastery!”
Although his voice was neither loud nor soft, it echoed through every corner of Dapamkara Monastery!
“Patron Desolate Martial, please return,”
Right then, a voice sounded from Dapamkara Monastery. “The titular disciple of Dapamkara Monastery used to be Kong Ru. He doesn’t know you, Patron Desolate Martial, much less is he an old friend of yours.”
“Hmm?”
Su Zimo raised his brow.
He remembered clearly that Ming Zhen used to be the titular disciple of Dapamkara Monastery.
Could the titular disciple of Dapamkara Monastery have changed?
Su Zimo was already getting impatient. With a cold expression, he declared once more, “The old friend that I want to see is Ming Zhen!”
A moment later.
The voice from Dapamkara Monastery sounded once more. “Ming Zhen has already left the monastery. Patron Desolate Martial, if you wish to see Ming Zhen, please search for him yourself.”
“Left the monastery?”
Su Zimo sneered internally.
If Dapamkara Monastery had told him that in the beginning, he might have believed it.
But, now that Dapamkara Monastery was being secretive and even forbade him from entering the monastery, there was no way Su Zimo could believe that!
“Since that’s the case, I won’t request to meet my old friend for my visit to the monastery today. Instead, I want to meet all the accomplished monks and discuss the Dao and Buddhism with them!”
Su Zimo’s expression was cold as he rose into the air slowly, shouting, “If you guys refuse to meet me, don’t blame me for barging in!”
