The Eternal Holy King
Chapter 51: The Power of a Tiger in the Heart

Su Zimo opened his eyes wide to clearly see Die Yue's every move, but a wave of fatigue struck him. Can't take it anymore, he fainted.

From the battle in the capital to the Luo Tianwu massacre in Jian An City, the ambush in the Cang Lang Mountain Range to the runaway journey for his life, he had not slept or rested for more than two weeks. After traveling day and night, Su Zimo had already exhausted the last of his strength in his body.

As he closed his eyes, Su Zimo could only see Die Yue stretching out her beautiful palm and blocking that dense purple sea with great ease.

At the next moment, Die Yue clenched her hands.

The purple sea exploded instantly, emitting a miserable yet dazzling blood mist.

Su Zimo fainted.

…

Not knowing how long it had passed, Su Zimo gradually came to a realization. He could feel a familiar aura when he opened his eyes.

This is a cultivation field.

Su Zimo was drenched in a wooden barrel. He seems to have gone back to a year ago.

Die Yue sat on the green stone not far from there with a cold and aloof expression. He had no idea what the woman was thinking.

“Where is the ape? She ... how is she? " The first thing Su Zimo did when she woke up was to check on the condition of the spirit monkey.

Die Yue did not reply.

Su Zimo hurriedly explained, “There is a spirit monkey lying in that cave. He was my friend and suffered serious injuries to save me. Miss Die, you must keep it!"

Su Zimo was agitated but he could not continue.

Given Die Yue's temperament, it was already surprising that she would appear to save him. Why would he care about the life of spirit beasts?

After some time, Die Yue said indifferently, “You don't have to bother about that. His physique is much stronger than yours."

"Aah?"

Su Zimo was stunned for a moment. After that, he was very happy. He asked again, "The monkey is still alive?"

Die Yue was speechless, it seemed like she did not bother to respond.

Su Zimo could not help but smile. He constantly nodded and muttered to himself, “Not bad, not bad. Since I managed to survive and the damn monkey physique was stronger than me, it was definitely still alive. "

After putting down his worries, a trace of doubt appeared in Su Zimo's heart again. He could not help but ask, "Miss Die, even though I am not part of the demon clan, after cultivating The Mystic Classic of Twelve Kings of the Wilderness, he said, why is my body still incomparable to that damn monkey?"

The corners of Die Yue's mouth coned slightly. "You have only processed three parts of – Body Tempering, Tendon Transformation, and Bone Strengthening, and have only achieved initial success for them. The hardest part of this skill that will cause major changes to your body is all in the next section. You're still a long way from that."

Su Zimo nodded. Looking at his body, he discovered that his right arm, which had almost become invalid, was completely fine now. There were no scars on his body at all.

"How long have I been sleeping?" Su Zimo asked.

"Ten days."

Su Zimo was secretly shocked.

He had suffered such serious injuries. Initially, he felt very lucky to have escaped death and thought that he would not recover completely. Unexpectedly, he almost recovered completely in just ten days after Die Yue saved and brought him back!

Not just that. After this battle, Su Zimo felt his body become significantly stronger and stronger. His bones are hard and strong. He had achieved initial success in the Bone Strengthening section!

This could be called reliving the dying with miraculous healing.

Is there anything else that Die Yue can't do?

Although Die Yue had told Su Zimo from the very beginning that she was not allowed to ask for her background and identity, Su Zimo often pondered over it personally.

Who exactly is Die Yue?

What cultivation world is he in?

Suddenly, Su Zimo felt something and turned his head.

On the green rock, Die Yue looked at Su Zimo calmly. Both of his eyes were as clear as water. They are beautiful and sparkling with traces of ripples.

For some unknown reason, Su Zimo suddenly felt a little nervous.

"Miss Die, you …"

Su Zimo's expression froze, and his mind went blank.

"You're not coming back?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Su Zimo was silent and fixated. At that moment, the happy feeling of surviving the calamity vanished completely into thin air.

Die Yue said, “I can't teach you anymore. Hence, I have planted the spirit root within you. His quality would not be inferior to the spirit root of heaven. For the next step, go look for an immortal cultivation clan to join."

"Can the roots of the spirit be planted?"

"The others can't, but I can."

Die Yue seemed to have thought of something. He smiled faintly and said, "After going into immortal cultivation, you can also perform the Sword Kinesis Flight. You won't be in such an embarrassing situation again."

Cultivators could execute the Sword Kinesis Flight and drop enemy heads within thousands of miles. It is not true that people say that he does not envy this.

If he had heard this news earlier, Su Zimo would definitely feel both happy and overjoyed

However, Su Zimo really could not lift his spirit right now.

"Why?"

After a long moment of silence, Su Zimo looked up and asked.

"Do you know why I brought you on the path of cultivation?" Die Yue asked him instead.

Su Zimo shook his head.

One year ago, when Su Zimo came down and came out and almost lost everything, Die Yue appeared in front of him and asked, "Do you want to cultivate?"

That scene, those words. Su Zimo would never forget them for life.

However, Su Zimo did not know why Die Yue gave him the cultivation technique of the demon clan and taught him cultivation.

“There are two reasons. First, when we met three years ago, I was at my weakest. It can be considered that you saved my life by bringing me here. For the next two years, you prepared food and sent it to my doorstep every day, never stopping once. Even though I ignored you, I remembered everything."

At the mention of this, Die Yue's slender figure left behind a green stone. His entire charisma changed, emitting an atmosphere of arrogance that surpassed heaven and earth and could not be ignored. He raised his voice and said, “I, Die Yue, have never begged anyone or owed anything to anyone, except you. Giving you a cultivation technique is considered to be the cover of this karma."

Su Zimo was stunned.

Who could be so sure not to beg anyone all their life?

Even immortal beings could not resist fear at certain times.

To not beg for life for anyone and achieve Die Yue success, it was hard to imagine the hardships one needed to experience.

“There are other reasons too. I see my old self in you."

Die Yue looked at Su Zimo and said, “Your outer appearance is weak and fragile, but you have the prowess of a tiger. It was just that this ferocious tiger had slept soundly. One year ago, the departure of your childhood sweetheart and the bullying by Perfected Cang Lang had stirred up this savage tiger in your heart. Do you remember your reaction when********* it came to kill you one year ago?"

Su Zimo pursed her lips gently and did not say a word.

"You almost killed him!"

Die Yue continued, “Who would have imagined that a weak and weak-looking scholar would have such a calm look in his eyes when he felt killed? Your wrist is very steady. At that moment, in my eyes, you are a jade that has yet to be carved and polished. You were born to venture into the cruel and bloody world of cultivation.”

Su Zimo felt a little emotional.

If Die Yue did not bring him onto the cultivation path back then, he would most likely die of depression in the remaining years of his life, let alone mention the blood feud of the Su family.

Even if he was a tiger at heart, he did not have spirit roots. Hence, he could only become an old tiger without claws.

Seemingly sensing Su Zimo's thoughts, Die Yue furrowed her brows gently and said in a daze, Your “endowmen are one in a million but you have no spirit root. Logically, everyone should be born with a spirit root. It was just that there was a difference between stronger and weaker spirit roots. However, in this part of the world, many people did not have spirit roots. It's so weird."

After pausing for a moment, Die Yue shook her head and said, “Forget it. There are secrets hidden in every part of the world. I also don't have time to investigate. I have to go."

After saying that, Die Yue's figure moved and she headed outside.

Su Zimo hurriedly jumped out of the wooden barrel, casually picking up a piece of clothing to cover himself and chasing after him.
