2395 Secret Ground Opening When he saw the green glow emitted by the jade talisman in his hands, Su Zimo’s heart surged with anticipation. According to Yun Zhu, the jade talisman was related to the Taboo Mystic Classic, the Three Pure Ones Jade Manual. The Grand Pure Jade Manual and Supreme Pure Jade Manual already had owners. The jade talisman should be connected to the final Jade Pure Jade Manual. Although it was only a single volume, it was enough to make countless cultivators go crazy! For Su Zimo, obtaining the Jade Pure Jade Manual would not only be an improvement for the Green Lotus True Body. The Martial Dao Prime Body could also browse through the Jade Pure Jade Manual through the Spirit Consonance Art and smelt it to continue tempering the True Martial Dao Body. Right then, Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat as he sensed that someone had arrived outside his cave abode. “Eh?” Initially, Su Zimo wanted to ignore it. However, he could not help but feel puzzled when he saw that it was Senior Sister Mo Qing. He hesitated for a moment and decided to go out and take a look. Senior Sister Mo Qing cultivated in seclusion at the legacy ground all year round and rarely came out. There was most likely something important for her to come to his cave abode. Su Zimo placed the jade talisman in his storage bag first and opened the door of his cave abode to welcome her. “Senior sister.” Su Zimo cupped his fists and greeted. Mo Qing sized up Su Zimo and nodded slightly. “You’re cultivating very quickly. You’ve already broken through to the Level 4 Heaven Essence realm.” Su Zimo blinked. He could not tell what Mo Qing wanted to say and continued the conversation politely. “Senior sister, do you want to enter the cave abode for a chat?” “Yes.” Mo Qing nodded. Before Su Zimo could react, she walked into his cave abode, leaving him with a graceful back view. Su Zimo was stunned and was at a loss. He snapped out of his stupor quickly and followed hurriedly. Mo Qing entered the cave abode and sat down. Su Zimo brewed a pot of fragrant tea and the two of them sat opposite one another, sipping tea slowly without saying anything. Even after a while, Su Zimo did not say anything and Mo Qing remained silent as well. Mo Qing was indifferent and composed, as though she could not sense the strange atmosphere or awkwardness at all. Su Zimo could no longer hold it in. Given his understanding of this senior sister, it was not difficult for her to sit like this for a long time without saying anything. The activity of the jade talisman in the storage bag was getting more obvious—Su Zimo could not wait that long. “Senior sister, is there anything?” Su Zimo probed. Mo Qing said indifferently, “Oh, it’s nothing much. I just came to see if you had any doubts about your cultivation.” Mo Qing said indifferently, “Oh, it’s nothing much. I just came to see if you had any doubts about your cultivation.” “Not at the moment…” Su Zimo was confused. For some unknown reason, Senior Sister Mo Qing suddenly cared about him. On second thought, the two of them had been through thick and thin in Avici back then. Since they were in the same sect and now had the same master, it was only normal for Senior Sister Mo Qing to care about him. However, he felt that something was amiss. This did not seem like Senior Sister Mo Qing’s style. He wanted to send Senior Sister Mo Qing away as soon as possible and asked a few symbolic questions about cultivation. Mo Qing replied one after another. However, Mo Qing had no intention of leaving after a few questions. “Senior sister?” Su Zimo asked again. “Are there no other questions?” Mo Qing asked. “That’s all, that’s all.” Su Zimo said hurriedly. “Oh.” Mo Qing nodded. “Since that’s the case, I’ll head back first. If there’s any problem, you can look for me at the legacy ground as well.” “Alright!” Su Zimo agreed readily. Mo Qing walked out of the cave abode and asked casually, “By the way, have you heard of something major that happened in the Fiend Domain a thousand years ago?” “The Fiend Domain?” Su Zimo raised his brow slightly. Mo Qing said, “It has something to do with Fellow Daoist Desolate Martial who saved us. I heard that his Tribulation Transcendence attracted the Tenth Tribulation and he even killed the Supreme Perfected Fiend and a million fiend cultivators.” “I heard.” Su Zimo nodded. Mo Qing asked again, “Have you guys been in contact all these years?” “Huh?” Su Zimo was stunned. Mo Qing looked at Su Zimo. “Junior brother, I know that you guys are on good terms. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have handed a treasure like the Hell Suppression Tripod to him.” “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone that there’s a connection between you guys.” “The only difference between immortals and fiends is the Dharmic Dao they cultivate. There are also violent and heinous people in the Immortal Domain and righteous people in the Fiend Domain.” “Furthermore, Fellow Daoist Desolate Martial saved me… I mean us.” Although Mo Qing said a lot, most of Su Zimo’s attention was focused on the jade talisman in his storage bag and he did not listen carefully. Su Zimo replied ambiguously, “Yes, we do have some connection.” “How has he been recently?” Mo Qing asked softly. Pausing for a moment, she explained, “He saved us before after all. I’m worried because I haven’t heard any news of him for a long time.” “He’s fine and doing alright. He’s been in seclusion the entire time.” Su Zimo said as he observed the activity of the jade talisman in his storage bag. At that moment, the green glow emitted by the jade talisman intensified and contained a strange energy fluctuation! “He…” Just as Mo Qing was about to ask something, Su Zimo interrupted, “Senior sister, I have something to settle here. I’ll ask you about cultivation next time.” “Yes…” Although Mo Qing was inexperienced and rarely roamed outside, she could tell that Su Zimo was sending her off. She nodded and turned to leave without lingering. When she first arrived, she was a little unhappy. However, she felt an inexplicable joy in his heart after leaving. … When he saw Mo Qing leave, Su Zimo closed the cave abode and activated the immortal formation around it before retrieving the jade talisman from his storage bag. Right then, the jade talisman shattered and released a powerful force that tore through the void, pulling Su Zimo in! At the same time, in a secret chamber on the top floor of the pavilion, Old Xuan seemed to have sensed something and suddenly opened his eyes. He glanced in the direction of the inner sect of the academy and closed his eyes to rest once more. In a palace deep in the clouds of the academy, the Sect Master of the Academy opened his eyes as well. His eyes were deep and shone with a divine light. After pondering for a moment, the divine light in the Sect Master’s eyes faded and he returned to normal. The jade talisman was like a teleportation jade talisman that sucked Su Zimo into a spatial tunnel after shattering. After a moment of dizziness, Su Zimo fell from the spatial tunnel and stabilized himself hurriedly. He released his spirit consciousness and descended slowly from midair. This seemed to be a secret ground with a universe of its own—it was clearly different from the world outside. Not far ahead stood a palace made of gigantic rocks. It was dozens of feet tall and had a majestic aura, ancient and heavy, surrounded by a faint mist. Suddenly! Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat. The moment he descended, a crack appeared in the void not far away and a few figures ran out. Su Zimo swept his gaze. Including him, a total of nine people descended in this secret ground at the same time!
