2500 Fourth Secret Skill
Of course, that feeling was not obvious and was almost undetectable. Su Zimo was not certain either.
If he encountered energy that could be devoured, such as immortal herbs and spirit wood, the Green Lotus True Body would have a relatively obvious reaction.
However, on the Asura battlefield, the Green Lotus True Body was extremely quiet.
The malevolent blood qi could seal the Six Tusk Divine Elephant and Roc Wings. However, it could not seal the True Dragon Nine Flashes, Heavenly Perfected Water and Southern Mingli Fire. The reason could naturally be because the three secret skills were inherited from the Hell Suppression Tripod.
However, there was another explanation possible—the three secret skills came from the three sacred beasts!
Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat and his eyes lit up.
Suddenly, he thought of a possibility.
The malevolent blood qi might have something to do with the sacred beast, the White Tiger!
That was the only way the malevolent blood qi could seal the power of most demon beasts as well!
Legend has it that the four sacred beasts were the progenitors of the Dragon, Phoenix, Tiger and Turtle races. Born in chaos, they ruled over all other living beings!
In terms of bloodline, sacred beasts surpassed even taboos!
Back on the Dragon Abyss Star, when the Azure Dragon Sacred Soul on the Hell Suppression Tripod awakened, the Dragon Phoenix Essence Spirit part of Su Zimo’s Essence Spirit felt suppressed—it was clear how terrifying the four sacred beasts were!
If the malevolent blood qi in the Asura battlefield came from the sacred beast, the White Tiger, many things could be explained.
The White Tiger was located in the west and specialized in killing, possessing a malevolent aura.
The malevolent aura contained killing, berserk and violent emotions. If a cultivator’s Dao Heart was unstable, they would naturally be invaded by the malevolent aura and lose their minds.
As for the Asuras, Yakshas and various demon beasts that died on the battlefield, they were also controlled by the malevolent aura and only knew how to kill. That was the reason why they attacked Su Zimo and the others wildly.
There was something more important.
The reason why his flesh could absorb the malevolent blood qi of the battlefield was not because of the Green Lotus True Body. There was a high chance that it was because of the secret skill on the fourth tripod wall of the Hell Suppression Tripod!
That secret skill was inherited from the White Tiger Sacred Soul.
After the Hell Suppression Tripod was repaired, Su Zimo had already obtained the inheritance of this secret skill.
In reality, it was difficult for humans to cultivate the secret skills of the Hell Suppression Tripod and the four Sacred Souls.
He had once condensed the Dragon Phoenix True Body. Therefore, it was only logical for him to cultivate the True Dragon Nine Flashes and Southern Mingli Fire.
As for Heavenly Perfected Water from the Black Tortoise Sacred Soul, he had also obtained the innate divine power inheritance of the Spirit Turtle Shield from The Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness.
Therefore, it was not difficult to cultivate.
However, the fourth secret skill came from the White Tiger Sacred Soul.
Up till this point of his cultivation, he had not cultivated any cultivation technique or secret skill of the Tiger race, let alone the White Tiger.
Therefore, he could not cultivate the fourth inheritance secret skill successfully for a long time.
He had even thought that if his brother from the lower worlds, the Spirit Tiger, was by his side, it might be of some help to him.
However, Monkey, the Spirit Tiger, Little Fox and the others had ascended for many years and would definitely not land in the Heavenly World. Naturally, they could not be contacted either.
“Brother Su?”
At the side, Xie Qingcheng called out once more in a testing manner when he saw that Su Zimo was still silent.
“Ah.”
Su Zimo snapped out of his stupor and smiled apologetically. “It’s nothing much.”
After pondering for a moment, Su Zimo said, “There’s still more than 20 days to the final fight for the seal. Anything can happen during this period of time.”
Xie Qingcheng could clearly tell that Su Zimo was implying something.
Su Zimo said, “If anything happens to me during this period of time, don’t worry. Don’t give up until the last moment!”
The matter of the malevolent blood qi was only his own speculation and he was not certain. Therefore, he did not explain things to Xie Qingcheng.
“Alright.”
Xie Qingcheng did not ask further. Instead, he took a deep breath and agreed.
The group of them continued along the streets of the ancient city and the surrounding structures were already dilapidated.
However, from the outline of the buildings, it was not hard to guess that human cultivators like them lived in this ancient city back then.
After walking for a while more, Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat as he sensed a faint Essence Qi fluctuation.
He glanced sideways at a residence not far away on the street.
“Let’s take a look over there.”
Su Zimo pointed and headed towards the residence with Xie Qingcheng.
When they approached, Su Zimo did not hesitate and pushed the door open. Unable to withstand the external force, the door collapsed and dust billowed.
Everyone casually released a few cleansing techniques and purged the surrounding dust.
“How about settling down here?”
Xie Qingcheng surveyed his surroundings. The residence was not small and there were more than ten houses around it for everyone to settle down and rest.
Su Zimo nodded without any objections.
He followed the slight Essence Qi fluctuation and arrived before a room, pushing the door open gently.
The room was not big and there were some tables, chairs, beds, kitchen utensils and a single glance was enough to see everything.
Su Zimo’s gaze shifted and landed on the wall beside him.
It was covered with a thick layer of dust and spiderweb. Through it, one could vaguely see some marks on the wall.
The Essence Qi fluctuation came from this wall.
Waving his robes, Su Zimo removed the dust and spiderweb on the wall and focused his gaze.
There were diagrams etched on the walls, as though they were depicting a massive battle that happened here in the past!
However, those diagrams could no longer be seen clearly after the sands of time. He could only roughly distinguish some living beings with obvious characteristics.
It was as though there was an Asura within that looked indomitable. His head was already above the clouds as he looked down at the ground with a sinister gaze.
Su Zimo counted.
The Asura had eight arms!
According to Heavenly Wolf, only Emperor realm Asuras had eight arms!
Even after so many years, Su Zimo could still sense how terrifying and powerful the Asura was through the incomplete and dilapidated diagrams. His eight arms wielded different weapons, his martial arts moved the universe and his fiend might was unparalleled!
Apart from the Asura race, Su Zimo also caught sight of the Yaksha race.
The diagrams revealed the two different types of Yakshas they encountered on the battlefield as well.
Beside the Yaksha race, there was a line of small words.
According to the description, the Yaksha race had a total of three major lineages.
The first Yaksha that Su Zimo and the others encountered that appeared from underground was an Earth Yaksha.
Later on, the Yaksha that flew down from the skies like a gigantic bat was a Heavenly Yaksha.
There was another type that lived in rivers, lakes and oceans. Those were the Water Yakshas.
Apart from the three Yaksha lineages, there was an even stronger Yaksha known as the Void Yakshas and it was said that they were extremely rare.
