Tao Yao said, “Xie Qingcheng’s mother wanted to meet Immortal King Yan Yang to plead for mercy for Xie Qingcheng. In the end, she was chased out before she could even see Immortal King Yan Yang.”
“Later on, I heard that she was summoned by the consorts of Yan Yang and died m the harem.”
Su Zimo frowned when he heard that.
Tao Yao said, “Later on, Princess Yun Zhu asked around and found out that Xie Qingcheng’s mother was humiliated in the harem and tortured to death by the consorts in an extremely tragic manner.”
Su Zimo’s expression was cold.
It was impossible for Immortal King Yan Yang not to know about this.
Without his tacit approval, how could those consorts of the harem dare to do such evil deeds?!
“How’s Xie Qingcheng?”
Su Zimo asked.
After Xie Qingcheng’s cultivation was crippled and he was sent into prison he must have definitely suffered and might not be able to last long.
Tao Yao said, “Young Master, not long after your incident, Heaven and Earth Academy encountered an unforeseen event and declined. Although Princess Scarlet Rainbow wanted to save Xie Qingcheng, she was powerless. Therefore she came to the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom and asked Princess Yun Zhu for ’ help.”
“Princess Yun Zhu spent a lot of effort to deceive everyone and secretly swap
Xie Qingcheng out of the prison. By the time he was saved, he was already at the end of his rope. If it had been a few months later, he would have died inside and no one would have known.”
“What happened next?”
Su Zimo asked.
Tao Yao said, “Without his cultivation, Xie Qingcheng could only barely survive even after recuperating in the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom for a few years. He fell ill and became thinner by the day.”
“His mental state became extremely poor after he heard the news of his mother’s death. His old injuries often relapsed and his health deteriorated.” Su Zimo was silent.
This series of blows was way too great for Xie Qingcheng!
Without any hope of revenge coupled with his mother’s tragic death, no one would be able to pull themselves together.
Tao Yao continued, “Later on, Yang Ruoxu was the one who found Xie Qingcheng and imparted the Dharmic Dao of the Martial Dao to him, allowing him to see a glimmer of hope for revenge.”
The Iron Crown Old Man had mentioned to Su Zimo about imparting the Martial Dao to Yang Ruoxu.
The Martial Dao was meant for ordinary people to begin with.
Even without the Iron Crown Old Man’s impartation, Su Zimo would find an opportunity to pa.s.s down the Martial Dao.
Tao Yao said, “With the help of the Martial Dao, Xie Qingcheng’s body has gradually recovered over the years. Although his cultivation realm has yet to recover, he’s already on the right track. Right now, he’s cultivating in the academy and hiding his ident.i.ty.”
“It’s good as long as he’s still alive.”
Su Zimo heaved a sigh of relief.
At that moment, the cultivators who had just obtained the opportunity had already broken through one after another. Most of them had already succeeded but some of them had failed. They could only try again in the future.
There were still a few people who were still in the state of breaking through and had no results.
Nian Qi was one of them.
Su Zimo had just communicated with Tao Yao’s spirit consciousness and did not pay attention to Nian Qi. At that moment, he swept his gaze and frowned slightly.
Something seemed to have happened to Nian Qi’s breakthrough.
Nian Qi was the G.o.d Daughter of the Light World. After experiencing the baptism of the G.o.d race’s Divine Light Pool, she was reborn and her bloodline was already incomparably pure and divine!
However, at that moment, a cold and dark power surged from Nian Qi’s body. Others could not sense it, but Su Zimo could because there was the Nether Glow Divine Stone hidden in his left eye.
“What’s going on?”
Su Zimo was puzzled.
The reason why Nian Qi could not break through for a long time was because of the cold and dark power born in her body.
That power could not erupt completely under the suppression of the crown on Nian Qi’s head and was in a stalemate.
However, as time pa.s.sed, the cold and dark power in Nian Qi’s body became clearer.
In fact, a dark aura even seeped out of her Dao Fruit!
Under normal circ.u.mstances, such power should not have appeared on the G.o.d race who prided themselves on being the light.
Furthermore, Nian Qi was the G.o.d Daughter of the G.o.d race!
“This aura…”
Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat.
In the Evil Fiend Battlefield and the Land of Day and Night, he had encountered cultivators who emitted that aura-they were from the Darkness race!
Back then, Great Emperor Darkness established the Darkness World. However as he failed in the Heaven Conquest Battle, the Darkness World was completely destroyed and the Darkness race was mercilessly killed by the Heavenly Court. There were also a portion of descendants of the Darkness race who were imprisoned in the Sin Grounds forever.
At that moment, the change in Nian Qi’s body had already attracted the attention of others.
“Darkness power?”
The Iron Crown Old Man’s expression changed and he frowned slightly.
Emperor North Kun and Emperor South Peng exchanged glances and sent a voice transmission with their spirit consciousnesses. “Could the legend be true?”
“Darkness Mutation!”
Right then, a shout sounded from the crowd.
This time round, there were three G.o.d King experts who came with Nian Qi- two men and one woman.
The ones who shouted earlier on were the three G.o.d Kings!
At that moment, the gazes of the two G.o.d King men towards Nian Qi turned abnormally cold and even revealed killing intent!
The female G.o.d King had a conflicted expression as well, as though she could not bear it but was helpless.
As the power of the Dao Fruit acc.u.mulated continuously, the darkness power contained within rose continuously as well. In the end, it reached a limit and erupted completely!
However, the eight gems embedded in the crown on Nian Qi’s head shone with a divine light and flowed with divine power, was.h.i.+ng through Nian Qi’s body and Dao Fruit like a waterfall.
The eight gems on the crown were filled with boundless divine power. It was definitely the work of a G.o.d King expert!
“Ah!”
Nian Qi had a pained expression as she grunted and shuddered.
The divine power emitted by the crown had the absolute upper hand and wanted to kill the darkness power in Nian Qi’s body completely.
However, that darkness power was already accompanying Nian Qi.
Killing the darkness power was equivalent to wiping out Nian Qi’s lifeforce!
Faced with such a situation, the three G.o.d Kings merely watched coldly without any intention of saving her.
In a flash, Su Zimo arrived beside Nian Qi.
His left eye was pitch-black as the Nether Glow Divine Stone appeared.
Su Zimo channeled his spirit consciousness and the Nether Glow Divine Stone released a wisp of Extreme Yin power that surged into Nian Qi’s body.
The Extreme Yin power contained darkness power to begin with and fused into lan Qi’s bloodline, causing the darkness power in her body to strengthen immediately!
With the help of the Nether Glow Divine Stone, the darkness power in Nian Qi’s body strengthened continuously and gradually formed an opposing stance against the divine light power.
However, even under such circ.u.mstances, Nian Qi was still in danger.
Against the collision of the two extremity powers, she might even die, let alone advance to the Grotto-heaven realm!
“Nian Qi, you have to stay awake.”
Su Zimo sent a voice transmission with his spirit consciousness. “I’ll recite a sutra for you. Feel the changes in your body and try your best to comprehend
Su Zimo imparted the 600-odd words Yin Yang Talisman Sutra to Nian Qi.
He had no other choice given Nian Qi’s current situation. It would have to depend on how much she could comprehend from the Yin Yang Talisman Sutra at this critical moment.
With the help of the Nether Glow Divine Stone, Su Zimo channeled the Extreme Yin power into Nian Qi’s body continuously. After it transformed into darkness power, it fought against the divine light power released continuously from the gems of the crown and maintained the balance.
