Chapter 1861: Change in Snow Wind Ridge

The desolate lands, seclusion cave abode.

A green figure sat in a lotus position and his black hair swayed without any wind. Circulating his mental cultivation technique, he breathed in and out Heaven and Earth Essence Qi that coiled around his body and rose in a dense fog.

The entire cave abode was like a paradise.

Although he became famous in the battle beneath Dragon Abyss City, Su Zimo was not arrogant.

He knew in his heart that his cultivation realm was still too low.

He was not confident of winning against Liu Tong who was a Grade 8 Black Immortal, let alone a Grade 9 one!

Furthermore, this was only the Dragon Abyss Star.

After all, the Dragon Abyss Star was only a remote star under the jurisdiction of the Green Cloud County of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom.

Even the native immortals stationed in Dragon Abyss City had limited combat strength.

True geniuses and monster incarnates would definitely not come to the Dragon Abyss Star!

When Su Zimo left the Dragon Abyss Star in the future, he would definitely face those experts.

He had to raise his cultivation as soon as possible!

He took out an Essence Condensation Pill from his storage bag and swallowed it before cultivating.

Time passed by quickly.

Su Zimo had been cultivating in his cave abode for 50 years!

For other cultivators, 50 years was a fleeting period and their cultivation would not change much.

However, Su Zimo was already at the peak of the Level 5 Black Essence realm and was only a step away from Level 6!

The Green Lotus True Body, coupled with sufficient cultivation resources and a powerful cultivation technique like the Prajna Nirvana Sutra, was the reason why such an effect could be achieved—neither of them could be lacking!

Su Zimo opened his eyes and woke up from his seclusion cultivation.

He had encountered a bottleneck.

Of course, this bottleneck was nothing to him.

As long as he continued cultivating and consuming Essence Condensation Pills, he would be able to break through to the Level 6 Black Essence realm in a few hundred years!

However, Su Zimo did not force himself to cultivate.

His spirit consciousness moved and a half-yellow, half-green leaf flew out from his storage bag—it was the Sal Tree Leaf!

Although it was only a single leaf, it possessed a mysterious might.

Su Zimo’s spirit consciousness merely made contact and he could sense that the leaf was like a vast starry sky that was filled with endless mysteriousness.

If this leaf fell into the hands of other factions, they would definitely treasure it and keep it to raise the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi in the surroundings.

The reason why Su Zimo took out the Sal Tree Leaf at that moment was because he wanted to refine it to break through his bottleneck!

Back in Tianhuang Mainland, he obtained a section of Ashoka Wood.

Although it was only a small piece of weathered wood, it was an extremely obvious improvement for the growth of the Green Lotus True Body!

However, the Sal Tree Leaf was only half withered—it definitely contained an even stronger power!

The moment he refined the Sal Tree Leaf, his body shuddered.

In a daze, he seemed to have fallen into an indescribable illusion.

The cave abode had already vanished.

Around him stood countless monks who clasped their palms together and chanted sutras softly with a divine might!

The monks looked ahead with pity in their eyes.

Su Zimo turned around instinctively.

Not far ahead, there was an ancient tree with lush leaves. Every single leaf was made up of seven leaves and shone with a Buddhist light.

“The Sal Tree!”

Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat.

He realized that the ancient tree before him was one of the legendary sacred trees of the Buddhist monasteries, the Sal Tree!

Beneath the ancient tree, an ancient Buddha sat in a lotus position. He had a benevolent expression and gentle eyes, smiling as he plucked flowers.

Su Zimo’s gaze met with that person’s.

There was a boom in his mind.

Instantly, he seemed to be sitting under the Sal Tree and listening to the Sanskrit chanted by the monks, entering a mysterious state!

He seemed to have fused with the ancient Buddha and experienced everything the latter was experiencing!

He comprehended everything the ancient Buddha saw, contemplated and thought about!

The ancient Buddha’s comprehension of Buddhism had already reached its peak.

Su Zimo’s attainments in Buddhism were insignificant compared to this ancient Buddha!

He could clearly sense that the ancient Buddha was undergoing Nirvana Transcendence beneath the Sal Tree!

Su Zimo came to a realization.

He vaguely realized that this was the scene of Buddha undergoing Nirvana Transcendence beneath the Sal Tree Leaf back then!

Buddha was imparting the Dao through the Sal Tree Leaf!

As Su Zimo listened to the Buddhist sutras chanted in his ears, he suddenly realized that they had many similarities with the Prajna Nirvana Sutra he cultivated.

At that moment, through the Buddha’s Nirvana Transcendence beneath the Sal Tree, he gained a brand new understanding of the Buddhist Sutra!

If anyone was in the cave abode, they would definitely see an extremely shocking scene!

Su Zimo hovered in midair and countless mysterious golden Sanskrit words circled around his body. There seemed to be a vast Sanskrit sound that lingered in the cave abode!

In fact, a gigantic halo appeared behind Su Zimo’s head!

If anyone from the Buddhist monasteries were to see this, they would be shocked and kneel on the ground to kowtow!

Right then, Su Zimo’s body shuddered.

The surrounding phenomenons vanished instantly.

Su Zimo woke up from that mysterious comprehension.

The Sal Tree Leaf in front of him had already withered completely and fell slowly, turning into an ordinary withered leaf.

When he refined the Sal Tree Leaf and made eye contact with Buddha, it seemed like hundreds or even thousands of years had passed.

However, in reality, it only took a few breaths in the cave abode.

The illusion of time was extremely mysterious.

Su Zimo sensed it and could not help but feel delighted!

In just a few breaths, his cultivation had broken through to the Level 6 Black Essence realm silently!

The Buddha imparting the Dao through the Sal Tree Leaf was an unimaginable opportunity!

The bottleneck he encountered was nothing much.

In those few breaths, the benefits he obtained were much greater than the dozens of years of cultivation previously!

After refining the Sal Tree Leaf, the Green Lotus True Body had also grown significantly!

Su Zimo suppressed the joy in his heart and beckoned with his spirit consciousness.

Outside the cave abode, a streak of light darted in.

It was the glow of a messenger talisman.

The reason why he was jolted awake from his comprehension was because of the same fluctuation outside the cave abode!

“Snow Wind Ridge is in trouble!”

The streak of light dispersed and turned into six elegant words.

Su Zimo frowned and his expression darkened.

Back when he left Snow Wind Ridge, he handed Xia Qingying a messenger talisman and instructed her to tear it if she encountered any danger.

This messaging talisman was meant as a precaution.

To think that something would truly happen to Snow Wind Ridge!

Without hesitation, Su Zimo pushed the door open and walked out of the cave abode.

“Boss, you’re out of seclusion?”

Duan Tianliang hurried over.

Yue Hao and the others appeared one after another when they heard the commotion.

“Brother Su, did something happen?”

Yue Hao asked when he saw that Su Zimo’s expression was amiss.

Su Zimo said in a deep voice, “Snow Wind Ridge is in trouble. I’ll go take a look.”
