Chapter 1372: Divine Spring
Before long, the lights faded gradually.
The appearance of Beiming Town changed drastically as well!
The massive town seemed to have vanished and a gigantic pit appeared on the ground. It was dark and deep, leading to unknown places.
Su Zimo said, “Let’s go and take a look. The secret guarded by the Beiming aristocratic family should be beneath.”
“Yes,”
Beiming Xue nodded.
Worried about any danger, Su Zimo walked at the front with Beiming Xue behind him.
Some of the Beiming clansmen were jittery and lingered around the pit, not daring to head down.
About half an hour later, Su Zimo and Beiming Xue arrived at the bottom of the pit.
It was clear that someone had painstakingly built this place. There were stone steps beneath their feet that paved the way and many ancient rocks in the surroundings that gave off an antiquated aura.
At the bottom was a long tunnel.
Thanks to his Green Lotus True Body, Su Zimo led Beiming Xue forward.
The longer they walked, the more moist the air ahead became.
Furthermore, Su Zimo could clearly sense that the air in front of him was filled with immense vitality and rich spirit qi!
Before long, his ears twitched and he could vaguely hear the sound of water currents.
“There’s a river hidden underground?”
Su Zimo frowned slightly before shaking his head.
The water current was not loud and did not seem like it was some underground river.
He led Beiming Xue further forward. After a long time, their vision opened up and the two of them arrived at an extremely spacious hall.
Both of them looked over.
On both sides of the hall stood nine stone statues that were thirty feet tall. Each of the stone statues held different weapons in their hands and they were solemn with their eyes closed, filled with dust.
At the end of the two lines of stone statues was a gigantic pool surrounded by jade statues. Golden ripples surged within and emitted an extremely rich aura of life!
Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat as he exclaimed, “The primordial divine spring!”
“Ah!”
Beiming Xue exclaimed as well.
She had only heard Su Zimo mention it before. However, she had not expected that a primordial divine spring would be buried beneath Beiming Town!
Su Zimo was shocked.
This primordial divine spring was clearly different from the one beneath Gu Sect.
Because there was no source beneath Gu Sect, the water was stagnant.
In the middle of the pool was a continuous stream of golden bubbles. Clearly, there was a source beneath that gushed with divine spring continuously!
This was a primordial divine spring that was comparable to the Dragon Bone Valley!
Previously, Su Zimo was also curious about the secret guarded by the Beiming aristocratic family.
However, he did not expect that the secret would be so shocking when it was revealed!
A single primordial divine spring was enough to attract the greed of major factions and super sects.
With this primordial divine spring, there was a high chance that the Beiming aristocratic family could attract countless experts and even nurture many paragons and monster incarnates to restore its glory of the ancient era!
The primordial divine spring was way too precious.
Up till now, the only place Su Zimo knew of was the Dragon Bone Valley.
Buzz!
Just as Su Zimo was pondering, a series of lights burst forth from the hall!
The 18 stone statues opened their eyes one after another and shook off the dust on their bodies with a boom. Suddenly, they came to life with a chilling killing intent in their eyes!
“Anyone who trespasses into the Beiming territory will be killed without mercy!”
The 18 stone statues spoke at the same time.
Swoosh!
The stone statue at the front raised the gigantic sword in its hands and slashed down at Su Zimo.
The sudden sight of the primordial divine spring stunned Su Zimo momentarily. Before he knew it, the gigantic sword had already descended.
There was no time to dodge and he could only extend his palm, wanting to grab the gigantic sword.
Boom!
The gigantic sword collided against Su Zimo’s palm with a loud bang!
Su Zimo’s body shuddered as though he was struck by lightning. He was sent flying by the gigantic sword and fell hundreds of feet away with a bloodied wound on his palm!
Psst!
Su Zimo gasped.
The power of that stone statue was way too strong —it was definitely at the Conjoint Body realm!
The gigantic sword in the hands of the stone statue did not seem to be a Dharmic weapon. However, the might of the gigantic sword was obvious if it could injure the Green Lotus True Body!
“Could these Conjoint Body Mighty Figures of the ancient era have lived to this era?”
Su Zimo was shocked.
However, on second thought, he shook his head again. “No, even Mahayana Patriarchs only have a lifespan of 100,000 years. These stone statues can’t be human!”
“Puppets!”
A thought flashed through Su Zimo’s mind as he came to a realization. “They must be puppets!”
Only puppet stone statues could ignore time and survive from the ancient era till now.
Swash!
Another stone statue took a huge step forward and arrived before Su Zimo in the blink of an eye. Swinging its arm, it raised its saber and slashed!
Su Zimo could only raise his arm to defend.
Boom!
His entire arm went numb and lost all feelings after it was struck by that saber!
Su Zimo was sent flying once more and smashed violently against the wall behind him, sliding down.
“These stone statue puppets are way too savage!”
Su Zimo was secretly speechless.
Although these stone statue puppets were not alive, the power they released was comparable to Conjoint Body Mighty Figures.
If Su Zimo’s Essence Spirit was fine and he could use Dharmic powers, he would naturally have countless methods to slice the stone statue puppets into pieces.
But now that his Essence Spirit was damaged, his combat strength was greatly reduced.
He was helpless against the stone statue puppets.
It was quite thoughtful of the Beiming aristocratic family to arrange for 18 powerful stone statue puppets to guard the primordial divine spring and prevent it from being occupied by outsiders.
However, Su Zimo lamented internally.
If two stone statues were already enough to pummel him, how was he going to survive after the 18 stone statues surrounded him at the same time?
He had dominated his life and killed countless paragons and monster incarnates. He had never tasted defeat among his peers and was not even afraid of the Primordial Nine Races—was he going to be killed by these lifeless rocks?
If word of this were to spread, he would become the greatest joke in the cultivation world!
The dignified Dao Lord Desolate Martial, the number one monster incarnate of history, was hammered to death by a group of stone statues that had been passed down from the ancient era…
“Watch out, master!”
Beiming Xue reacted and exclaimed, lunging over with all her might to shield Su Zimo!
“Don’t!”
Su Zimo spoke hurriedly.
If the Green Lotus True Body was already beaten to such a state by the stone statues, Beiming Xue would not survive even if she had ten lives if the gigantic sword and saber slashed down!
Beiming Xue closed her eyes and spread her arms to shield Su Zimo.
Coincidentally, a gigantic axe slashed down. Just as it was about to land on Beiming Xue’s head, it suddenly shifted and avoided her body, slashing onto the ground with a boom!
The other stone statue puppets circled around Beiming Xue and charged towards Su Zimo once more!
“These stone statue puppets won’t hurt anyone from the Beiming clan!”
When they saw that, Su Zimo and Beiming Xue thought of that possibility at the same time.
Beiming Xue could only protect Su Zimo and retreat continuously. However, there was only one of her—how could she protect Su Zimo completely?
In a moment of desperation, she shouted, “Stop right there!”
Strange enough, when the stone statue puppets heard that, they froze on the spot and no longer attacked.
