Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 2739 Extraordinary Means

The group of sword cultivators lingering outside the cave abode stopped in their tracks and turned around.

The initial clamor gradually faded.

Beiming Xue looked normal. When she saw the many sword cultivators gathered outside, she frowned slightly and asked, "What are you guys doing here?"

"We—"

Many sword cultivators exchanged glances with awkward expressions and hesitated without saying anything.

They could not possibly say that they were worried that Beiming Xue would be bullied by her master and came over to save her, right?

In the crowd, Jian Chen stood out.

No matter what, Su Zimo was led into the Sword World by him from the outside. If Beiming Xue was hurt, he would feel uneasy as well.

Jian Chen explained, "All your senior brothers and sisters were worried about you when they saw that you and Fellow Daoist Su stayed in the cave abode for three days and three nights without coming out."

"Worried about what?"

Beiming Xue asked.

"Um…"

Jian Chen coughed gently. "After all, we don't know Fellow Daoist Su very well and you haven't met him for years either, Junior Sister Beiming. Therefore, um… we were worried that Fellow Daoist Su might hurt you."

"He's my master. Why would he hurt me?"

Beiming Xue said calmly, "Even if everyone in the world is my enemy, he will stand in front of me and protect me."

Back in the South Region of Tianhuang Mainland, it was Su Zimo who protected her and even fought against the three aristocratic families!

When they heard that, the sword cultivators had conflicted expressions. They were embarrassed and envious.

How lucky was Fellow Daoist Su to make Junior Sister Beiming trust him so much?

Jian Chen sighed internally.

Right then, Su Zimo walked out of his cave abode.

Instantly, the gazes of many sword cultivators landed on Su Zimo.

Everyone sized Su Zimo up continuously, wanting to see who Beiming Xue's master was.

Su Zimo had a calm expression and was long used to such gazes.

Jian Chen hesitated for a moment before greeting Su Zimo.

Su Zimo nodded slightly and did not exchange pleasantries with him. He said to Beiming Xue, "Let's go cultivate at the Sword Cleansing Pool."

"Yes."

Beiming Xue nodded.

Under the gazes of the sword cultivators, the two of them walked towards the Sword Cleansing Pool.

"Hmph! I thought that this person had some brilliant Dharmic formulation. In the end, isn't he just choosing to go cultivate beside the Sword Cleansing Pool? How is this different from Junior Sister Beiming's usual cultivation?"

"He's only a Convergence Perfected Immortal. In my opinion, he's not qualified to impart the Dao to Junior Sister Beiming."

"That's right. Right now, I'm worried that not only will Junior Sister Beiming waste time cultivating the Martial Dao with this person, she'll also waste her Sword Dao talent."

"Let's go take a look together."

The group of sword cultivators discussed and walked towards the Sword Cleansing Pool as well.

In the past three days, Su Zimo had already helped Beiming Xue formulate her cultivation direction.

The most suitable place to temper one's body and bloodline was none other than the Sword Cleansing Pool at the foot of Carnage Sword Peak.

Prior to this, Beiming Xue had only cultivated beside the Sword Cleansing Pool.

As for Su Zimo, he was prepared to let Beiming Xue enter the Sword Cleansing Pool so that she could withstand the impact of the violent sword qi and the invasion of the killing intent!

This cultivation method was extremely dangerous but it could maximize the transformation of Beiming Xue's physique and bloodline.

Furthermore, under the continuous invasion of the killing intent, Beiming Xue's Martial Intent and Dao Heart would undergo a further transformation!

Of course, the entire process would definitely be extremely painful.

The Sword Cleansing Pool was used to refine weapons.

But now that Su Zimo wanted Beiming Xue to cultivate in the Sword Cleansing Pool, it was equivalent to treating Beiming Xue's flesh and blood as a weapon to temper!

The moment many sword cultivators arrived at the Sword Cleansing Pool, they saw Beiming Xue jumping into it.

"Ah!"

Someone exclaimed, "Senior Sister Beiming, what are you doing? Do you want to die?!"

Many sword cultivators were shocked as well.

Jian Chen, Chu Xuan and some other Perfected Immortals hurried to the side of the Sword Cleansing Pool, prepared to release their Dharmic Daos to save Beiming Xue.

However, before Jian Chen and the others could attack, Su Zimo stopped everyone and asked in surprise, "What are you guys doing?"

Su Zimo truly did not understand why the group of sword cultivators were so nervous when he was teaching his disciple here.

A Perfected Immortal frowned and said in a deep voice, "The sword qi in the Sword Cleansing Pool is extremely violent and sharp. How can a body of flesh and blood withstand it?"

"The Sword Cleansing Pool is used to refine weapons!"

"Su, were you the one who made Junior Sister Beiming jump in?"

Many sword cultivators glared at Su Zimo and questioned in an unfriendly tone.

At that moment, Beiming Xue was in the Sword Cleansing Pool and was enduring the impact of the violent sword qi continuously. There was also the continuous invasion of killing intent—she could not be distracted and did not know what was happening outside.

Su Zimo said, "Everyone, I'm here watching over her. Don't worry."

Those words could not calm the anger of the sword cultivators at all!

Jian Chen looked at Beiming Xue, who was covered in injuries and drenched in blood in the Sword Cleansing Pool, and his heart ached.

Even some Perfected Immortal experts did not dare to set foot into the Sword Cleansing Pool casually.

He suppressed the anger in his heart forcefully and asked word by word, "Fellow Daoist Su, is this the Martial Dao you're talking about?"

Su Zimo was silent.

If he wanted to temper his body and bloodline, how could he build a perfect foundation without extraordinary methods and unbearable pain that was different from ordinary people?

Back when the Martial Dao Prime Body stepped into the True Martial realm, he endured the torture of Hellfire and the endless true intent of pain!

What Beiming Xue was enduring at the moment was merely a fraction of the Martial Dao Prime Body.

If she could not even withstand this bit of pain, there was no need for her to cultivate the Martial Dao any longer.

These sword cultivators had good intentions and were worried about Beiming Xue's safety. Su Zimo did not want to argue with them or cause any conflict.

When Jian Chen saw Su Zimo's silence, he was even angrier. He clenched his fists slightly and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Su, I believe you don't know how terrifying this Sword Cleansing Pool is. Why don't you jump in and experience it yourself?"

"That's right. As Beiming Xue's master, you should jump down first and set the example!"

"You're harming your disciple instead of jumping down yourself. Are you really worthy of being Junior Sister Beiming's master?!"

The other sword cultivators said one after another with increasingly stern tones.

Su Zimo was still motionless with an indifferent expression.

Jian Chen thought that Su Zimo was afraid and sneered, "As Beiming Xue's master, you can't even withstand the impact of the Sword Cleansing Pool yourself. Why do you want Junior Sister Beiming to suffer?"

Su Zimo did not reply. Suddenly, he took out a bowl and filled it with sword qi water from the waterfall of Carnage Sword Peak.

The water in the pool was so clear that one could see the bottom without any impurities.

Su Zimo said, "The water is very clean."

Jian Chen and the others looked at Su Zimo in confusion, not understanding what he wanted to do.

Right then, Su Zimo picked up the bowl and drank the pool water filled with violent sword qi and terrifying killing intent in one gulp!

Psst!

Jian Chen and the other sword cultivators gasped and widened their eyes in shock.

The accusations and questions from earlier on vanished instantly.

Given Jian Chen's cultivation, he could only struggle to hang on if he jumped into the Sword Cleansing Pool.

However, he would definitely not dare to swallow the sword qi water directly.

This meant that countless violent sword qi burst forth and exploded in his body. If he could not withstand it, his body would be torn into pieces by the sword qi!

Right then, Su Zimo turned around and looked at Jian Chen and the others, asking with a smile, "Everyone, you must be thirsty after saying so much. Do you want a bowl?"
