Ch. 359 - Advancing To Empyrean Meridian Realm
"Are you alright?" Xu Zimo asked.
"This Heavenly Dao is really ruthless. But the rules of the world aren’t that easy to break anyway," Paimon replied with a smile. "If it happens again, the Lord may not see me again."
"You’ll probably be leaving soon too, right?" Xu Zimo said.
Paimon paused slightly, then smiled, "Everyone has their own path to return to. Isn’t it the same for you, my Lord?"
"I don’t know what my path is. I just keep moving forward," Xu Zimo said calmly. "Strong enough to win against everything. Then fate and death won’t matter."
Paimon nodded heavily and said, "I believe in you, my Lord."
...
After chatting with Paimon for a while, Xu Zimo also met up with Luminous Master and Death God Qin.
The three of them had previously held off the three ancient ancestors outside.
"Why did the Blood-Devouring Evil Race suddenly retreat?" Luminous Master asked, puzzled.
"No idea. Maybe something came up," Xu Zimo replied, shaking his head slightly.
Death God Qin said nothing. He understood that Xu Zimo had likely already succeeded.
The situation in the Ancient Realm had come to a close.
There weren’t many gains for those involved, but for them, just surviving was already a huge fortune.
They didn’t dare ask for more.
Leaving the Ancient Realm, on the way through the Forbidden Grounds, Xu Zimo saw many native people trying to escape.
Exiting the Ancient Realm, they still returned to the temple inside Martial Magnificence Temple.
"What about those people from Martial Magnificence Temple?" someone asked curiously.
Wu Qianjun and the others were brought out in restraints. Xu Zimo didn’t interfere.
He knew Luminous Master wouldn’t kill them.
Compared to the panic and fear of others, Wu Qianjun looked much calmer and more composed.
"So, what should I do with you?" Luminous Master asked Wu Qianjun and the others.
"I’ve thought it over these past few days. Letting the Blood-Devouring Evil Race open the entrance here, I may not be the culprit, but I was still an accomplice," Wu Qianjun said calmly. "I accept whatever punishment you decide. Even death would not be undeserved."
"Just seal the temple," Luminous Master said after a moment of silence, then left.
The rest of the crowd quickly followed behind.
Watching everyone leave, Wu Qianjun stood silently for a long time.
His lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something.
In the end, he said nothing.
At that moment, his back looked much older than before.
...
Xu Zimo and Death God Qin arrived at the city of Buddha Reverence and found a meditation room.
"You should give me that item now," Death God Qin said eagerly.
"Afraid I’d go back on my word?" Xu Zimo laughed.
As he spoke, he tossed the Heavenly Dao Crystal to Death God Qin.
"I'm a man of my word."
"Thank you," Death God Qin said seriously, receiving the crystal.
He truly understood now the power of the Burial Buddha Temple, and knew that without Xu Zimo,
