The Eternal Holy King
Chapter 52: Turning into a Butterfly

"Miss Die, where are you going?"

Su Zimo chased all the way to the courtyard, feeling reluctant to part with him. He called out loud.

"Certainly back to my world."

Die Yue turned around and looked at Su Zimo with a smile on her face, as she said jokingly, "You and I are from two different worlds."

This was what Shen Mengqi said to Su Zimo when he left her back then.

Now the same words were spoken by Die Yue, but there was no humiliation in them. Instead, it seems that they are very good old friends and are joking with each other. Of course, there's a little melancholy to it.

Die Yue had never used this tone when she spoke to Su Zimo. He rarely smiled at her. It was not until now that Su Zimo realized that Die Yue had completely abandoned him.

"But, you haven't taught me the cultivation techniques left over from The Mystic Classic of Twelve Demon Kings of the Wilderness. How can you leave?" Su Zimo racked his brain and finally appeared with an excuse.

Die Yue shook his head. “You already have spirit roots. You must join the immortal sect, don't continue with your demon cultivation."

"Why?"

Su Zimo frowned, saying, "I want to continue cultivating demons and learn immortal cultivation!"

"Eternal and demonic cultivation?"

Die Yue's beautiful brows slightly raised, she couldn't help but smile. "You're pretty ambitious."

Die Yue paused for a moment before she said, “Roh qi can nourish and muffle the body. Although his body would not be as strong as the demon clan, it was still quite strong. But do you know why most cultivators have weak bodies? "

"Why?"

“There is a person's energy limit. No matter if it was immortal cultivation or demonic cultivation, one could not live forever. One cannot escape life and death. If one were to continue with his immortal cultivation and demonic cultivation, there was a high chance that one could not reach the end for his cultivation either."

Su Zimo thought about it and said, "I want to give it a try."

Die Yue continued, “I won't stop you if you want to go ahead with the cultivation of immortals and demons. But immortal beings and demons came from different worlds. Eternal is eternal, while demonic devil. If you insist on doing the cultivation of immortals and demons, both sides will not tolerate you. Now that you have just started the demon planting, you should give up now.”

"I don't want to give up." Su Zimo insisted stubbornly.

"Even if the whole world would turn against you?"

"So what if the whole world turns against me!"

To Su Zimo, this cultivation technique was given to him by Die Yue. It has an important meaning. Even if the entire world wanted to stop him from cultivating, he would continue on!

After a short silence, Die Yue said, “The Mystical Classics of the Twelve Demon Kings in the Wilderness will be even more difficult. You can't make it without me by your side. ”

Die Yue sighed, facing the stubborn Su Zimo, she finally gave up.

There was a demonic luster in Die Yue's eyes. After which, there were a few more sutras on Su Zimo's mind.

Die Yue looked at Su Zimo, saying gently, “This is the remaining silk. Remember, if it is too difficult to cultivate, do not waste your effort on them. Also, if the monkeys in the Cang Lang Mountain Range are having problems in the future, give help.”

Su Zimo realized upon hearing his words.

Die Yue had other intentions when she arranged for him to go through training in the Cang Lang Mountain Range.

Without the monkey spirit, Su Zimo would not be able to master the Sanguine Ape Tri-style in a year.

Without the spirit monkey, Su Zimo would not be able to activate the Sanguine Ape Transformation.

Although Die Yue had never appeared during a year of training in the Cang Lang Mountain Range, she kept an eye on him. Otherwise, he would not have appeared at the final crucial moment.

After all, Die Yue cared deeply for him.

Su Zimo looked at Die Yue calmly. His views are sharp and somewhat irrational. It was as if he wanted to recall Die Yue's facial features and implant them in his memory.

“If you want to continue the cultivation of immortals and demons, you will experience a lot of unimaginable suffering. But you must remember that this suffering will only make you stronger. There's a saying in the Avatamsaka sutra from Huayan school that I want to give you the adieu, 'to be one of the greatest, to be one, You have to work in the foundation and be willing to take the hardships and serve others!' ”

With that, Die Yue turned around, waving to Su Zimo.

Die Yue took a small step and she was in the air. Under Su Zimo's unshakable gaze, her graceful figure gradually disappeared into the air, turning into a beautiful butterfly, with two bright crescent moons imprinted on a pair of wings.

“I left three gifts for you. The first gift is the spirit root in your body. As for the two remaining gifts, they might be useful to you in the future."

Die Yue flapped his wings and the space around him collapsed and turned into fragments. The crack that formed as a dark void could be faintly seen in the distance, stirring up a cold wind. That's grisly.

The butterfly flew into the darkness and gradually disappeared.

"Die Yue!"

The space around him gradually returned to normal and cracks fused together.

Just then, a voice sounded from the void abyss.

"Sure, I'll wait for you."

Die Yue had turned into a butterfly and left.

…

Only after Die Yue left did Su Zimo realize that he had developed a strong attachment and dependence on Die Yue.

Su Zimo stood glued to the ground, constantly thinking about what had happened here for the past year. He was deep in his mind.

The sun rises, through the dark clouds.

Unknowingly, Su Zimo had been standing under the peach blossom tree all night, not moving at all.

Finally, Su Zimo raised his head, looking into the distance, his eyes finally refocused. She hid the pain of separation and reluctance to part with Die Yue deep in her heart. He took a deep breath before turning around to leave.

…

Su Zimo passed through the Su family residence and stopped in his tracks.

Supposedly, everyone in the Su family should be hiding in the Sky Treasure Pavilion in Cang Lang City. But now, the door of the house was opened and he could faintly hear a voice coming from within.

Su Zimo felt puzzled and went in to check.

"Second Young Master?"

"Second Young Master is back!"

Everyone in the Su family residence was overjoyed to see Su Zimo. Su Hong came out with the rest to greet Su Zimo.

"Zimo, are you okay?"

Su Hong advanced, grabbing Su Zimo's shoulder.

"I'm fine." Su Zimo shook his head, asking, "Why aren't you all in the Sky Treasure Pavilion?"

Song Qi said, "We are going to leave Ping Yang City when a red-robed woman suddenly appears to stop us."

As Song Qi recalled what had happened, he still could not hide the shock he felt back then. “The woman is very strong. He did not need to utilize external objects and he could fly into the air. He should at least be a Gold Core Cultivator! He told all of us to wait for him, saying that he would take you back. "

"And he disappeared right in front of us!"

At the mention of the woman, everyone in the Su family could not hide their shocked expressions.

Su Zimo lowered his head, no one noticed the loneliness and sadness in his eyes.

"Zimo, is that woman your master?"

Everyone in the Su family could tell that Su Zimo had undergone a total transformation. He had transformed from a weak scholar into a warrior who could kill the Qi Refinement Warrior. It must be because of the mysterious woman.

"He's not my master."

Su Zimo shook his head.

Even though Die Yue taught her the cultivation of demons, Su Zimo never treated Die Yue as her master.

"Where is that woman? We should thank him. We must not ignore it," Su Hong continued to say.

"He's gone."

Su Zimo said softly.

Everyone is silent.

Su Zimo recovered and smiled. "Brother, what plans do you have next?"

The situation of the Su family was complicated. They could not go to the Yan State, and they could not stay in the Qi State. They can only leave their homeland to live in another state.

"I don't know either."

Su Hong sighed softly, looking towards the distant Yan Country as he said in a low voice, "I still can't bear to leave."

Just then, a black armored cavalry ran from afar and shouted loudly before he even reached. "Report, Young Master, the Yan State troops are approaching. There are hundreds of thousands of them. Among them were cultivators as well! ”
