324 Death of the Golden-Crowned Eagles (1/2)
Before Zhou Donghuang could open his mouth, Su Mo's mind was already running through the ridiculous possibilities, including whether this master of his could have already entered the Primordial Soul stage?
Otherwise, why would he look like one?
In Su Mo's opinion, his master actually entering the early Primordial Soul stage was already an unbelievable feat. After all, when his master had left the Ziyun planet back then, he had not even reached the Dharma stage.
In less than five years, he went from the Primal Core stage to the early Primordial Soul stage, surpassing the four stages of the Dharma stage. This was already an incredible feat in Su Mo's eyes.
Su Mo did not even consider if his master had achieved more than that.
But now...
”Ultimate... ultimate Primordial Soul stage?”
When Su Mo heard Zhou Donghuang's calm answer, he was stunned beyond belief.
Of course, despite being frozen in shock, his mind was still racing with thoughts...
The ultimate Primordial Soul stage?
Besides transcending the four Dharma stages, he had also transcended the three stages of the Primordial Soul stage? And in less than five years!?
How... did his master achieve that?
At this moment, Su Mo could very clearly hear his heart beating louder than ever before.
Just as Su Mo barely managed to regain his senses, Zhou Donghuang's calm voice sounded out once again.
”Even though I am only at the ultimate Primordial Soul stage, if I wanted to kill a regular early Divine Transformation adept, that would not be a problem at all.”
Su Mo once again entered a state of shock, his heart beating faster again after having just calmed down slightly.
By the time Su Mo regained his senses again, he had realized that his master had already left, and there was no point in him continuing to hang around in the cave.
After all, the reason he had shut himself in there was to train to reach the Dharma stage.
Now that he had already successfully broken through, there was naturally no more need for him to stay.
...
”Xiao Lu, where are Big Gold and Little Gold?”
After leaving Su Mo's self-isolation cave, Zhou Donghuang arrived at the home of his mother, Lin Lan, and his little sister, Yun Lu. After taking a seat by the stone table in the courtyard, he carried Yun Lu into his arms and cheerfully said, ”On this trip back, other than at Lu Qinghu's side sect, I did not see them anywhere else.”
Big Gold and Little Gold were the two golden-crowned eagles that Zhou Donghuang had taken in years ago. When he had left the Ziyun planet, the two eagles had also successfully become Primal Core demons.
Yun Lu frowned, saying, ”In the past, when they left, they never stayed out for more than a month... but this time, it has already been two months, but they are still not back yet.
”They left before Sister Mengxi and Brother Da Zhuang came.”
After hearing Yun Lu's words, Zhou Donghuang nodded, and asked, ”Which stage are they at now? Have they been slacking off?”
”A few months ago, they just broke through to the ultimate Primal Core stage,” Yun Lu replied.
”Already reached the ultimate Primal Core stage?”
Zhou Donghuang nodded and smiled in satisfaction. ”Seems like they have not been slacking off. Given their training, if the two of them stick together, they would be powerful enough to go anywhere they wanted to on the Ziyun planet... furthermore, those few sects with Golden Essence adepts also know of them, so even if they were to meet, I don't think those clans would try to do anything to them.”
Yun Lu giggled and said, ”Exactly, those two rascals rely on this fact to frequently leech off the food and drinks of those sects... they will even grab a few of their spirit stones on their way out.”
”This sounds like something they would do.”
Zhou Donghuang laughed along.
...
The Ziyun planet had five main elite sects.
They were the Donghuang Sect, Shenguang Sect, Qianqiu Sect, Tianwu Sect, and the Xuesha Sect.
And before the emergence of the Donghuang Sect, the Ziyun planet also had five top tier sects, with the additional one being the Xuanyin Sect. However, it was extinguished by Zhou Donghuang.
The Xuesha Sect, being one of the Ziyun planet's top five sects, also had a long history.
However, during that fateful Ziyun feast five years ago, the Xuesha Sect lost one of their late Primal Core adepts, who unfortunately was also the Xuesha Sect Leader.
After that incident, the Xuesha Sect's status amongst the Ziyun planet's top five fell to the bottom.
Even on a daily basis, when the Xuesha Sect disciples were out, they felt a sense of inferiority to the disciples of the other four sects. This was due to the Xuesha Sect's most powerful adepts still being weaker than those of the other sects.
The Xuesha Sect's territory resided within a plain of grass. The grass in this plain was all blood red in color, and when looked at from afar, the entire plain looked as if it has been soaked in blood.
This place has also been named the ”Blood Plains.” Anyone who trespassed into this territory would face a terrible outcome.
At this moment, within the backyard of one of the mansions in the Xuesha Sect camp, stood an extremely scrawny old man in a grey shirt. He sat cross-legged amidst an open space, and one could very clearly see blood flowing through his entire body.
The streams of blood arose from the two large corpses as lying in the courtyard.
