Chapter 1440: Secret of the Killing Badge
Translator: Legge
“The primordial races have set their Killing Badges on you. You have to be careful,”
Monk Daming said, “Among the monster incarnates of this generation, Teng Lingzi was the weakest.”
“The God race’s Firmament Emperor, Goddess Xiaoxiang, the Golden Crow Seventh Prince, the Rakshasa race’s Rakshasa Yu and the Witch race’s Young Master Arcane Ghost should all be trying to find out more about you.”
In truth, if it was a one-on-one fight, Su Zimo could suppress these monster incarnates of the primordial races!
However, if the other party brought many Mighty Figures, Half-Martial Ancestors or set up any traps, it would be difficult for Su Zimo to deal with them.
Of course, as long as he could cultivate to the perfected Conjoint Body realm and refine his Dharmic powers to their limits, nobody would be a threat to him unless a Patriarch attacked!
Time!
What he needed right now was time!
Right then, Monk Daming said, “You don’t have much time left. The annihilation of the Blood Vine race on Six Stars Mountain will spread to the Blood Vine race and shock the entire cultivation world before long!”
“More than 10,000 Blood Vine race beings died here. 50 Mighty Figures, six Half-Martial Ancestors and even the young master of the Blood Vine race. With such a heavy loss, there’s a high chance that a Patriarch of the Blood Vine race will hunt you down!”
Su Zimo raised his brow. “Half of the Blood Vine race beings here died in your hands. If a Patriarch comes out, you won’t be able to hide either, right?”
“Who knew that I was here?”
Monk Daming asked with a fake smile.
“The cultivators of Southern Duel Sect…” Su Zimo said instinctively.
Monk Daming shook his head and smiled. “Although I brought them away from Six Stars Mountain, I did not appear the entire time. They only saw you descending on Six Stars Mountain to fight against the experts of the Blood Vine race.”
“This time round, when they leave and obtain the news of the destruction of the Six Stars Mountain Blood Vine race, they will only think that everything was your doing and no one will know that I appeared.”
Su Zimo was silent.
It was only then that he realized that Monk Daming had shifted everyone from Southern Duel Sect in advance not because he was worried about their safety.
It was because he did not want to expose his tracks!
All the Blood Vine race beings on Six Stars Mountain were dead.
Right now, apart from Su Zimo, no one else knew the truth.
However, Monk Daming knew that Su Zimo would not publicize this matter.
There was a high chance that Monk Daming had already accomplished some sort of goal by descending on Six Stars Mountain this time round to search through the memories of six Blood Vine Half-Martial Ancestors.
However, he did not expose his tracks and stayed out of things completely!
It was the same for the battle at Heaven and Earth Valley.
Monk Daming did not appear but he was the eventual winner!
His combat strength was already superior to his peers.
Coupled with his profound wisdom and scheming capabilities that far surpassed others, someone like that was almost invincible without any weaknesses!
Up till this point of his cultivation, Su Zimo had encountered many paragons and monster incarnates such as Di Yin.
However, he was way too weak compared to Monk Daming!
If Monk Daming wanted to kill Di Yin, he might not even have to do it himself. He could do it by a scheme and Di Yin would not even know how he died!
However, someone as terrifying as this was defeated in the past as well.
He was suppressed for 40,000 years!
Right then, Monk Daming said, “There should be an Ashoka Wood in Teng Lingzi’s storage bag. The Ashoka Tree is a sacred tree of the Buddhist monasteries. As for you, you cultivate Buddhism and your body is the Creation Green Lotus. This Ashoka Wood is a great tonic for you!”
“If you’re able to absorb this Ashoka Wood completely, you’ll be able to break through to the mid-stage Conjoint Body realm with ease and might even reach the late-stage Conjoint Body realm!”
Su Zimo nodded.
“However…”
Monk Daming changed the topic. “Like I said, you don’t have much time left.”
“What do you mean by that?”
Su Zimo frowned slightly. “Once I leave Six Stars Mountain, I’ll find a secluded place to hide. Even if a Patriarch of the Blood Vine race comes out, will he be able to find me?”
That was Su Zimo’s plan.
Now that Monk Daming was fine, he no longer had any concerns.
Therefore, Su Zimo intended to lay dormant after leaving Six Stars Mountain and absorb all the Ashoka Wood before coming out.
“Sure,”
Monk Daming said with conviction, “The Patriarch of the Blood Vine race isn’t the only one who can find you. Every single one of them can!”
“Mmm?”
After pondering for a moment, Su Zimo murmured, “The Killing Badge?”
“That’s right!”
Monk Daming said slowly, “After the Blood Vine race released the Killing Badge on you, you gained a unique aura. No matter where you head to, they will be able to sense you!”
“The Killing Badges of the other primordial races have the same effect.”
“I see,”
Suddenly, Su Zimo was enlightened.
It was no wonder why Teng Lingzi had to get the Killing Badge out even when he was about to die.
Furthermore, the reason why he said that Su Zimo would be hunted down by the Blood Vine race for the rest of his life and would have to die was because of the Killing Badge.
If the Killing Badge was truly so powerful, Su Zimo would be located by the Blood Vine race no matter where he went—he would not have the chance to refine the Ashoka Wood!
“You’re well-versed in Buddhist and fiend secret skills. Are you able to dispel this badge?”
Su Zimo looked at Monk Daming and asked in a deep voice.
Given the methods displayed by Monk Daming right now, he was almost omnipotent and knew everything. Su Zimo would not be surprised if he could dispel the Killing Badge.
Monk Daming smiled and shook his head. “I can’t.”
After a brief pause, he continued, “However, there’s a place you can try. If the experts there are willing to do something, they might be able to dispel this Killing Badge.”
“Where?”
Su Zimo asked.
Monk Daming said, “Enigma Palace!”
At the mention of Enigma Palace, the first people Su Zimo recalled were Lin Xuanji and the old man with the Confucian crown.
The second person he recalled was someone called Heavenly Secrets and also knew the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra!
Heavenly Secrets was the one who schemed to capture Night Spirit and set up a trap in Heaven and Earth Valley to bait Su Zimo so that he could fight against the major sects, factions and primordial races.
He wanted to make use of that battle to refine the bloodlines of Heaven and Earth Valley.
However, he did not expect that he would end up paving the path for Monk Daming!
Before rushing to Heaven and Earth Valley, Su Zimo received a warning from Lin Xuanji. Furthermore, his handwriting was scribbled in a hurried manner.
Could something have happened to Enigma Palace?
“Right,”
Monk Daming continued, “I’ve also received news that your big brother should be rushing to Enigma Palace.”
“Big brother?”
Su Zimo was stunned for a moment before coming to a realization. “Big Brother Yan Beichen!”
“The Asura, yes,”
Monk Daming nodded. “Back in the battle of Heaven and Earth Valley, the Asura chased after Heavenly Secrets.”
“However, Enigma Palace had many secret skills. Heavenly Secrets had powerful escape techniques and fled the entire way. Although the Asura chased after him for thousands of kilometers, he still managed to return to Enigma Palace. Furthermore, he made use of the power of Enigma Palace to retaliate and injure the Asura severely.”
“If I’m not wrong, the Asura should be heading over for revenge this time round,”
Initially, Su Zimo was hesitant.
However, when he heard that, he made a decision to head to Enigma Palace immediately!
