Eternal Sacred King - Chapter 1470

Translator: Legge

Back at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley, Su Zimo told Monk Yuan Bei and the red-headed ghost about the blood face in the Thousand Year Blood Sea of Thousand Demon Valley.

Thereafter, the red-headed ghost mentioned the Thousand Demon Tribulation.

It was said that the battle 30,000 years ago was extremely tragic and not only were the demons of Thousand Demon Valley involved, even the demons of the other seven demon regions were implicated.

In that battle, countless fiend demons and even demon Emperors died!

After that battle, the eight demon regions took huge losses!

That was the reason why this battle was known as the Thousand Demon Tribulation.

If the appearance of the blood face in the ruins of the Great Qian Empire and the Thousand Demon Tribulation was not a coincidence…

In that case, something major might have happened in Tianhuang Mainland 20,000 years ago!

Su Zimo took the ancient book Demoness Ji handed him and read it.

“Six fiend sects?”

Su Zimo murmured softly.

Demoness Ji nodded. “Actually, 20,000 years ago, the situation in Tianhuang Mainland was divided between the nine immortal sects, eight Buddhist monasteries and six fiend sects.”

Su Zimo knew about the eight Buddhist monasteries.

The two super sects of the Buddhist monasteries, Daming Monastery and Fahua Monastery, were destroyed in the battle of the Great Qian Empire 10,000 years ago and turned into the current six Buddhist monasteries.

He truly did not know about the six fiend sects.

Demoness Ji said, “20,000 years ago, there was no Heavenly Dipper Sect among the nine immortal sects. Instead, there was another major sect, the Astral Sect! Also, Malevolent Earth Sect was not among the fiend sects.”

“Later on, Astral Emperor of Astral Sect failed his tribulation and was electrocuted into ashes by the Heavenly Tribulation, leading to a crisis for Astral Sect.”

The terror of Tribulation Transcendence was such that even Emperors would die with their Essence Spirits destroyed if they were careless!

Demoness Ji continued, “At that critical juncture, Patriarch Astral was ambushed by a Patriarch of the fiend sects and nearly died. Enraged, he triggered a massive battle against the fiend sects!”

“In that battle, five of the nine immortal sects were embroiled in it. As for the six fiend sects, they took part and fought till the end, even escalating to a fight between Emperors!”

As he listened to Demoness Ji’s description, Su Zimo browsed through the ancient books and matched them.

The ancient books recorded that more than 30 Mahayana Patriarchs of the immortal and fiend sects died in this battle and even Patriarch Astral died!

Even three Emperors were dead!

At that point, Su Zimo was secretly speechless.

The foundation of a super sect was truly terrifying!

Up till this point of his cultivation, Su Zimo rarely saw Mahayana Patriarchs because he had not cultivated to that level.

After all, Mahayana Patriarchs had a lifespan of 100,000 years.

Even if the super sects could only produce one every 10,000 years, after 100,000 years, they would have 10!

Demoness Ji sighed. “In the end, the Dharma Emperor of the Buddhist monasteries and the others mediated and managed to calm the battle down.”

“Even so, that battle caused great damage to the fiend sects. As for the nine immortal sects, Astral Sect was destroyed and split into two major sects!”

“One of them is the current Heavenly Dipper Sect of the nine immortal sects and the other is Malevolent Earth Sect of the seven fiend sects.”

At that point, Su Zimo was enlightened.

Back when he first met Demoness Ji, she had already looked down on Malevolent Earth Sect and said that Malevolent Earth Sect was not a true fiend sect.

But now, he finally understood—Malevolent Earth Sect was formally Astral Sect of the immortal sects!

That battle could be considered as a catastrophe for the immortal and fiend sects. Astral Sect was even split into two and everything was referred to by the later generations as the Astral Tribulation!

After a while, Demoness Ji saw that Su Zimo was still buried in the ancient book, reading it repeatedly as though he was searching for something.

“Zimo, what are you looking for?”

Demoness Ji asked.

Su Zimo replied, “I’m looking for the problem behind this battle.”

“What do you mean?” Demoness Ji was puzzled.

Su Zimo did not reply. After flipping through the ancient book a few times, he asked, “Who was the Patriarch of the fiend sects who attacked Patriarch Astral?”

“I’m not sure,”

Demoness Ji shook her head.

Su Zimo pointed to the ancient book in his hands. “That’s the problem. Even the ancient books of Enigma Palace have no record of this Patriarch of the fiend sects!”

“This matter was the reason for the Astral Tribulation, but nobody knew who this Patriarch of the fiend sects was,”

Demoness Ji frowned. “What can that prove? This must be absolutely true. Otherwise, Patriarch Astral wouldn’t have been enraged and launched a massive battle against the fiend sects!”

Su Zimo did not argue.

In truth, it was the same as the Great Qian Catastrophe.

Be it the Thousand Demon or Astral Tribulations, the two calamities carried the same strangeness.

For the Great Qian Catastrophe, Monk Yuan Bei and the red-headed ghost, two people who witnessed it personally, speculated with one another and Die Yue intervened.

Later on, they uncovered the strangeness behind the Great Qian Catastrophe!

As for the Thousand Demon and Astral Tribulations, they broke out 20,000 to 30,000 years ago. Anyone who had experienced both calamities personally would have died a long time ago.

Even if Su Zimo could sense that something was amiss with the two calamities, he could not discover the true problem.

The truth of the past might be buried with time.

However, this matter confirmed his guess!

The Thousand Demon Tribulation, Astral Tribulation and Great Qian Catastrophe were no coincidences.

“Now that I think about it, another 10,000 years have passed since the Great Qian Catastrophe,”

Su Zimo murmured softly with a grim expression.

The dangers of Tianhuang Mainland did not merely come from the primordial races. There was also a pair of invisible blood hands that were stirring the clouds and manipulating all living beings!

“Let’s leave this place,”

Taking a deep breath of air, Su Zimo buried those thoughts in his heart and left the library with Demoness Ji.

The storyteller did not leave and stood at the entrance of the hall, gazing into the distance in deep thought.

Ming Zhen, Little Fatty, Shi Jian and Yan Beichen were gone. It was likely that the cultivators of Enigma Palace had already arranged for them to rest.

“You found the answer you wanted?”

The storyteller glanced sideways and asked with a smile.

Su Zimo nodded.

Initially, the reason why he entered the library was because he wanted to find out the secret behind Monk Daming. To think that he even found out about the catastrophe 20,000 years ago by accident!

“You were the one who destroyed the Blood Vine race on Six Stars Mountain, right?”

The storyteller asked.

“Yes,”

Su Zimo hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Half of it was done by Monk Daming. However, since Monk Daming did not want to reveal himself, Su Zimo did not take the initiative to mention him.

“Why did you come directly to Enigma Palace after Six Stars Mountain?”

The storyteller asked again.

Su Zimo was just about to talk about this matter as he spoke in a deep voice, “The Blood Vine race set a Killing Badge on me. Someone told me that Enigma Palace might be able to help me resolve it.”

“Mmm?”

The storyteller’s expression changed starkly as he spun around.

A gray fog appeared in the storyteller’s eyes, as though he could see through all the secrets on Su Zimo!

“Indeed!”

The mist in the storyteller’s eyes gradually dispersed as he frowned. Extending his palm, he divined with his fingers and a supreme light flashed through his eyes as he hollered, “Not good!”
