Eternal Sacred King - Chapter 1918

Translator: Legge
Su Zimo followed an Earth Immortal to an Essence Spirit Mine outside Glass City with the noseless cultivator.

The Essence Spirit Mine was located near a mountain peak in the Wuning Mountain Range and was the seventh Essence Spirit Mine under the jurisdiction of Glass City.

Typically, every Essence Spirit Mine would have many mineral veins and one could begin collecting Essence Spirit Stones by mining along those veins.

Of course, the number of Essence Spirit Stones collected from each mineral vein varied.

If one was lucky, they might be able to gather 10,000 Essence Spirit Stones from a single mineral vein.

!!

If one was unlucky, they would only be able to gather dozens of Essence Spirit Stones from a mineral vein.

There were a thousand Earth Immortal experts guarding the surroundings of the seventh Essence Spirit Mine. Among them, there was even a Heaven Immortal expert guarding it—it was clear how much Glass City valued the Essence Spirit Mine.

Over the years, almost no one dared to harbor designs on the Essence Spirit Mines!

Su Zimo and the noseless cultivator were assigned to a mine.

Indeed, an Earth Immortal expert came before they entered the mine and sealed Su Zimo and the noseless cultivator’s storage bags and consciousnesses with a secret skill.

Actually, given Su Zimo’s current cultivation, he was completely capable of breaking free from the spirit consciousness seal.

However, that would alarm that person as well and there was no need for that.

Thereafter, the person tossed a storage bag and a jade spatula to Su Zimo and the noseless cultivator.

“5,000 Essence Spirit Stones to be paid once a year!”

The person said before turning to leave.

The noseless cultivator explained, “The Essence Spirit Stones that we collect will be stored in this storage bag. This type of jade spatula is the most useful for us to head down to mine.”

Su Zimo and the noseless cultivator followed a rope and entered the mine slowly.

As the two of them ventured deeper, their surroundings turned increasingly damp and dark.

However, given their cultivation realms, they could still see their surroundings clearly despite the circumstances.

A long time later, the two of them finally landed on the ground.

Although it was called a mine, it was extremely spacious.

There were many cultivators shuttling back and forth below and some mine tunnels appeared in the surroundings. Within, cultivators were waving jade spatulas and shoveling the sand in the mine tunnels continuously to collect Essence Spirit Stones.

“Hehe!”

In the middle of the mine, a burly man sat there boldly. He had a fierce expression and an unshaved beard. He glared at Su Zimo and the noseless cultivator who were descending and laughed strangely.

“Wow, another two newcomers,”

Su Zimo noticed this person the moment he entered the mine.

He was a Grade 8 Black Immortal.

Including the two of them, there should be around a hundred people in the mine.

Suddenly, the noseless cultivator sent a voice transmission, “That person should be the leader of this mine. Typically, we have to pay him 50 Essence Spirit Stones from the Essence Spirit Stones we collect every year. That way, he can easily gather 5,000 Essence Spirit Stones without doing anything.”

“The mine guards above are not going to interfere?”

Su Zimo frowned and asked.

The noseless cultivator pouted. “It’s dark beneath the mine and there’s even a chance of encountering some random things. The guards above are all extremely smart. Who would be willing to come down?”

“Even if those guards know, they’ll just turn a blind eye.”

Su Zimo pondered for a moment and his eyes flickered in deep thought.

The noseless cultivator warned, “The mine leader is the strongest in combat beneath this mine and is the boss here. Do whatever he tells you to do. Let me advise you to behave yourself and not dream of challenging him!”

“You two newcomers know the rules here, right?”

Right then, the burly man grinned and asked with a smile.

“We do,”

The noseless cultivator replied immediately.

Su Zimo looked at the burly man quietly without saying anything.

The burly man smirked and pointed to dozens of mangled and rotting corpses in a corner not far away, saying coldly, “All these years, there have always been people who refused to be disciplined and wanted to challenge the rules I set. This is their outcome!”

“Exalted Immortal, don’t worry. I understand, I understand,”

The noseless cultivator said hurriedly.

Su Zimo was still silent as he glared at the burly man, thinking about something else.

Mining in this mine required 5,000 Essence Spirit Stones per year.

However, he had to use Essence Spirit Stones to cultivate.

There would definitely be a conflict between the two.

He did not want to waste his time to collect Essence Spirit Stones and hand them over to others.

Su Zimo was still thinking about how to deal with this matter when he realized that the solution was right before him!

When the noseless cultivator saw that Su Zimo was tactless, he left hurriedly and distanced himself from Su Zimo, afraid that the burly man would misunderstand that they were together.

“Exalted Immortal, I don’t know this person,”

The noseless cultivator even explained.

The burly man waved it off and stood up slowly, smiling menacingly at Su Zimo. “Lad, are you prepared to die?”

“You set the rules here?”

Su Zimo smiled gently. His smile was a little strange, as though he had evil intentions.

“That’s right!”

The burly man gripped his fists tightly with a ferocious gaze. His entire body was tense like a demon leopard that could lunge out at any moment!

“Whoever is strongest will be able to set the rules here?”

Su Zimo asked again.

“That’s right!”

Before the burly man finished his sentence, he attacked first and lunged towards Su Zimo. Waving his hand, he punched out and released an extremely terrifying blood stench that was suffocating!

Black Immortals who entered the mine had their consciousnesses sealed and could not use supreme powers or Dharmic arts. What they competed in was their physique, blood qi and melee combat strength!

The burly man had tempered his body all year round and was terrifying in melee combat. He had dominated this mine for thousands of years and no one was his match.

Su Zimo was like a frail scholar that he did not take seriously at all!

Su Zimo’s expression was calm as he smiled gently and strode forward as well. Suddenly, he extended his fair palm and suppressed the burly man!

The Great Chaos Essence Palm burst forth!

Bang!

The burly man’s fist collided against Su Zimo’s palm.

The burly man shuddered and felt an extremely terrifying power surge into his arms. His sleeves were torn and the muscles on his arms felt a ripping pain!

Although the burly man was a Grade 8 Black Immortal and specialized in body tempering, no matter how strong his body was, he could not defeat the Green Lotus True Body!

Even without the use of blood qi, the Green Lotus True Body could suppress him!

The burly man grunted and retreated hurriedly.

Like a shadow, Su Zimo closed in and continued suppressing the burly man with the Great Chaos Essence Palm!

The burly man had no choice but to raise his arms to defend.

Bang!

The Great Chaos Essence Palm landed at the intersection of his arms.

The burly man let out a tragic cry as his legs sank deeply into the mud beneath his feet, extending past his knees. There was no way he could defend against the immense pain in his arms.

The Great Chaos Essence Palm tore through the burly man’s arms and continued suppressing, slapping down on his head.

“It’s over, this is where I die!”

The burly man lamented internally.

When the palm landed on his head, it suddenly retracted and hovered motionlessly.

The burly man did not dare to act rashly either.

He knew very well that as long as Su Zimo exerted strength in his palm, his mind would be shattered and his Essence Spirit would be destroyed!

The noseless cultivator and the surrounding miners were stunned on the spot with shocked expressions.

The entire battle had just begun and it was over before many people could react!

Su Zimo’s voice sounded slowly, “From today onwards, I’ll set the rules here!”
