Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 3325: Space Time Forbidden Ground

Another 20,000 years passed.

All these years, because Lin Xuanji traveled the southwest to tell stories, he attracted three old friends of the medium chiliocosm—Feng Cantian, the Iron Crown Old Man and Chess Immortal Jun Yu.

When the old friends were reunited, they were overjoyed and shared their experiences with one another.

Lin Xuanji, Feng Cantian, the Iron Crown Old Man and Chess Immortal Jun Yu had all consulted the Mountain Chief. All of them gained insights and had already advanced to the Dao Comprehension realm.

In the blink of an eye, Su Zimo had been with Die Yue on Mount Xuan Pin for more than 50,000 years.

During this period of time, it was truly as though he had distanced himself from all the commotion and disputes to enjoy a rare period of peace since he started cultivating.

Occasionally, news came from the southeast. Under the lead of Paramount Supremacy Chang Qing and the others, the Chaos Sanctuary grew stronger day by day and became famous.

Under the protection of the Chaos Sanctuary, the Flora race gradually rose and began to occupy the major territories. The factions of the ten thousand races withdrew one after another.

For the past few days, many cultivators had come to the vicinity of Mount Xuan Pin, breaking the long-awaited tranquility.

These cultivators came from all over the world and were human experts of the 36 Grotto-heavens and 72 Blessed Grounds. There were many of them and it was extremely lively.

Even Su Zimo and Die Yue, who were in their rooms every day, sensed it.

“What happened? Why are there so many people outside?”

When Su Zimo and Die Yue arrived outside, they could not help but ask curiously when they saw Lin Xuanji, Jun Yu and the others walking over.

Lin Xuanji chuckled and teased, “The two of you sure are capable. You’re stuck together all day and won’t leave each other’s side for an inch, living alone without caring about the chaos outside.”

Feng Cantian burst into laughter as well. “When are the two of you going to get married? We’re still waiting for the wedding banquet!”

Although Su Zimo and Die Yue had long become Dao Companions, there were no weddings or marriages.

Die Yue was not interested in that.

Su Zimo did not care about such formalities either.

In their hearts, it was enough as long as they could be together.

Something like a wedding ceremony was dispensable.

When he heard Feng Cantian’s words, Su Zimo shook his head and smiled. “Forget about the formality of a wedding ceremony. We can just find a time to gather with our old friends and drink to our hearts’ content.”

Su Zimo looked at Die Yue with a questioning expression.

“Up to you.”

Die Yue smiled.

Thereafter, she seemed to have thought of something and said faintly, “However, you have to prepare a proper ‘heartfelt’ gift for me this time round.”

Su Zimo blushed when he heard that.

He could not help but recall the gift he gave Die Yue when he looked for her in the Great Wilderness World…

“Wasn’t that gift good enough?”

Su Zimo coughed gently, feeling a little guilty.

“What do you think?”

Die Yue rolled her eyes at him.

“What did he give you?”

Lin Xuanji’s eyes burned with the fiery flames of gossip as he leaned forward and asked with a sleazy expression.

“Get lost!”

Su Zimo pushed Lin Xuanji’s head away and changed the topic. “What happened outside?”

“I heard that the Space Time Sanctuary opened a forbidden ground and allowed Paramount Supremacies of the ten thousand races to head there to attempt to break through to the Saint realm and become a Saint.”

The Iron Crown Old Man was the one who spoke to help Su Zimo out of that embarrassing situation.

The Iron Crown Old Man said, “After hearing that news, many human experts of the 36 Grotto-heavens and 72 Blessed Grounds gathered here, prepared to head over.”

“Space Time Forbidden Ground?”

Su Zimo raised his brow.

Jun Yu said, “It’s said that usually, only experts of the five Sanctuaries can enter this Space Time Forbidden Ground to attain the Dao. It’s indeed a rare opportunity for them to open it up to experts of the ten thousand races now.”

Su Zimo frowned and asked, “Even if it’s the forbidden ground of the Space Time Sanctuary, why would they be so kind as to open it to experts of the ten thousand races?”

Lin Xuanji said, “I reckon that the five Sanctuaries have suffered considerable casualties in the 33 Heavens and some Great Dao Saint Positions are vacant. They want to gather more Saints as soon as possible and rally the ten thousand races to take on the Four Paths once more. That’s the only reason why they gave the ten thousand races such a chance.”

“According to what I know, after this news was released, the ten thousand races were shocked. All Paramount Supremacy experts who have cultivated to the perfected Dao Hegemony realm will probably head to the Space Time Forbidden Ground to give it a try.”

Su Zimo said, “What’s so special about this Space Time Forbidden Ground that can tempt the Paramount Supremacies of the ten thousand races?”

Lin Xuanji said, “I heard that in the Space Time Forbidden Ground, even if you fail your first attempt to break through to the Saint realm, it can guarantee that you will not die. Of course, continued attempts that fail will still lead to death by disintegration into the Dao.”

“Hmm?”

Su Zimo’s expression changed.

It was extremely dangerous to synthesize with the Dao to become a Saint.

Throughout history, countless Paramount Supremacies failed to synthesize with the Dao and died, disintegrating into it.

There was no other way out to become a Saint.

Upon failure, one would die instantly!

However, according to Lin Xuanji, one could even survive the first failure to break through to the Saint realm in this Space Time Forbidden Ground!

This meant that there were two chances to break through to the Saint realm in the Space Time Forbidden Ground!

This temptation was indeed too great for every Paramount Supremacy expert.

It was no wonder why the ten thousand races were shocked by this news.

Unfortunately, he had only just cultivated to lesser mastery of the Dao Hegemony realm and did not have the chance to break through to the Saint realm.

Otherwise, even he would have wanted to enter this Space Time Forbidden Ground to give it a try.

Su Zimo was puzzled and asked, “How can this Space Time Forbidden Ground be so heaven-defying that it can protect the life of a Paramount Supremacy who failed to synthesize with the Dao?”

“I don’t know either.”

Lin Xuanji shook his head.

Instinctively, Su Zimo looked at Die Yue.

Die Yue did not say anything in the conversation earlier on.

At that moment, her expression was indifferent and there was even a coldness in the depths of her eyes!

“Is the Space Time Forbidden Ground related to the human race?”

Su Zimo vaguely realized something and asked.

Die Yue nodded. “That Space Time Forbidden Ground is actually the Life Sanctuary of the past, a Sanctuary of the human race. However, more than six billion years ago, it was sealed and snatched away by the Space Time Sanctuary, taking it for itself.”

Everyone was shocked when they heard that.

Lin Xuanji was enlightened. “It was no wonder why I couldn’t find the Life Sanctuary even after traveling around for so many years. So, it was snatched away by the Space Time Sanctuary!”

Die Yue said, “In the Life Sanctuary, there’s a Life Stone. If one fails to break through to the Saint realm for the first time in the Sanctuary, this Life Stone will release a large amount of lifeforce to resist the backlash of the Great Dao and protect the life of the cultivator.”

“Initially, the Life Sanctuary was prepared for the human race. Unfortunately, it has been occupied by the Space Time Sanctuary all these years for the cultivation of the people of the five Sanctuaries.”

Su Zimo was silent.

Under the suppression and intimidation of the Divine Punishment Sanctuary, there were no Saints in the human race.

Because of that, there was naturally no way they could fight against such humiliation.

Jun Yu said, “Since the Space Time Sanctuary released the news this time round that this place is open to the ten thousand races, it naturally includes the human race. Fellow Daoist, you’ve already cultivated to the perfected Dao Hegemony realm. Why don’t you head to the Life Sanctuary to give it a try?”

“Forget it.”

Die Yue shook her head. “Someone has long become a Saint in the Great Dao I cultivate. Even if I head to the Life Sanctuary, I won’t have the chance to break through to the Saint realm.”

“To me, it doesn’t matter if I become a Saint or not.”

With that said, Die Yue and Su Zimo exchanged glances and smiled.

Both of them understood each other’s intentions.

If it was Die Yue in her previous life, she might have chased after eternal life and broader horizons.

However, after she died and was reborn once, her mentality had already changed a lot.

The moment she awakened her memories and saw Su Zimo, she realized what was most important to her.
