Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 2837: Floating Like a Dream

Translator: Legge

Just as Su Zimo was at a loss, his heart skipped a beat.

“Hmm?”

He had a surprised expression.

He could sense the existence of the Martial Dao Prime Body once more!

However, the state of the Martial Dao Prime Body was a little strange, as though he had fallen into a daze and had yet to wake up.

Su Zimo tried to call out a few times before the Martial Dao Prime Body woke up slowly.

In the endless starry skies.

The Martial Dao Prime Body stood motionlessly.

Although he had already regained consciousness and sensed the existence of the Green Lotus True Body again, he still had a blank expression under the Mara mask, as though he was trying his best to recall something.

Earlier on, he was pursued by an Emperor of the Heavenly Court. Thereafter, he saw a white pheasant. For some reason, he seemed to have suddenly entered another unfamiliar world.

The Martial Dao Prime Body tried his best to recall everything he had experienced in that world.

For some unknown reason, he could not recall most of the situations in that experience no matter how hard he tried.

He could only vaguely recall some fragments intermittently.

It was a terrifying world that he had never seen before!

In that world, there was ignorance, black and white were reversed. The people living there could not differentiate right from wrong, were insensitive, cold and heartless…

In that world, the Martial Dao Prime Body lost all his strength and became a mortal once more.

There seemed to be an invisible power there such that no one could cultivate.

It was the same for him.

There, lies were everywhere. Everyone who spoke the truth had to face immense danger and endure countless attacks, curses and bites before they were drowned in the vast crowd.

In that place, ferocity and tyranny were ubiquitous. Every kind person lived cautiously as though they were walking on thin ice.

If they accidentally released their goodwill, they would be surrounded by endless villains!

It was filled with darkness and ugliness. There was no warmth or beauty.

There, there was no justice and evil ran rampant.

When he saw that someone was in trouble, he helped but was dragged into the abyss instead.

When he saw a group of weaklings chained and kneeling on the ground, whipped and enslaved, he wanted to stand out and remove the shackles on them.

Unexpectedly, the moment he stepped forward, the initially numb faces of the group of people suddenly revealed a ferocious expression and their eyes turned red.

All of a sudden, those seemingly weak bodies of theirs released immense strength and swarmed forward, pinning him to the ground. They shattered his knees as they shouted angrily, “We’re all kneeling, what right do you have to stand?!”

The Martial Dao Prime Body was incompatible with this place.

He struggled to survive in this world and encountered obstacles everywhere.

He was covered in injuries but he never submitted.

He vaguely remembered that he had saved a homeless little girl called Ah Xie.

In that world, he had saved many people, but only that little girl did not harm him in the end.

He and the little girl relied on each other and seemed to have lived together for a long, long time until he finally grew old…

He could not cultivate and his lifespan was less than a hundred years.

In his memories, when his hair was white and he was in his twilight years, that little girl seemed to still be by his side.

It was unknown if there was a mistake in his memory or if it was for some other reason.

In his memories, the little girl never grew up.

Or rather, she had never changed.

It was the same as when the two of them first met. She was equally thin and wore a tattered shirt that had been washed white.

In his hundred years of life, he had done many things that were incompatible with that world.

Even though he had paid a huge price, he was honest and had a clear conscience when he was old.

Every time she saw him save someone, the little girl would watch silently from the side without helping or stopping him, completely uninvolved.

Occasionally, the two of them would talk.

On a certain day.

Ah Xie asked, “Isn’t it good to stand by and do nothing if someone is in trouble?”

The Martial Dao Prime Body was silent for a long time before saying, “If I stand by and do nothing, I can’t expect anyone to help me when I’m in trouble as well.”

Tm saving them, but in truth, I’m also saving myself.”

Ah Xie clapped her hands and smiled. “That’s a simple logic, but unfortunately, they don’t understand it.”

On another day.

Suddenly, Ah Xie asked, “Do you think they’re humans? If they are, why are they inhumane?”

The Martial Dao Prime Body was silent.

Ah Xie continued, “When they saw others suffer, they would either mock, add insult to injury or choose to remain silent. Why don’t they understand that they will suffer the same pain one day?”

“They always have the mentality of being lucky and think that they can be spared. However, karma is cyclical alongside fate and retribution. Who can escape the cycles of reincarnation?”

Ah Xie said self-consciously at the side.

After an unknown period of time, Ah Xie suddenly said hatefully, “They’re a bunch of beasts!”

In the boundless starry skies.

Suddenly, the Martial Dao Prime Body felt a headache and his body swayed slightly.

He took a deep breath and stopped recalling before the pain was gradually relieved.

From the Green Lotus True Body, he learned that only a day had passed since he entered that world.

However, he spent a hundred years and lived a lifetime in that world!ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novelenglish.net . ꜰɪre.ɴet

This kind of time difference made him a little confused.

The hundred years of life in that world was like a bizarre and absurd dream.

The Martial Dao Prime Body surveyed his surroundings. His location did not change at all.

It was as though he had never left this place.

However, the Emperor of the Heavenly Court who was initially chasing after him had disappeared.

The Martial Dao Prime Body recalled carefully. In that world, he seemed to have seen the figure of the Emperor of the Heavenly Court in a crowd.

However, the Emperor of the Heavenly Court was also a mortal like him.

As for anything else, the Martial Dao Prime Body could no longer remember.

Nothing in the surroundings changed.

The Martial Dao Prime Body clenched his fists slightly and murmured, “Is it really just a dream?”

Right then, he suddenly felt something strange in his palm. He only sensed it when he clenched his fist.

The Martial Dao Prime Body lowered his head.

Unknowingly, a white jade pendant had appeared in his palm.

It seemed to belong to Ah Xie.

When he saw the jade pendant, he vaguely recalled something about Ah Xie.

To be precise, this jade pendant was the last gift Ah Xie’s father left for her.

Ah Xie’s father had passed away early and she did not have any clear memories of him.

Her only memory was the jade pendant that her father had left for her.

Ah Xie valued the jade pendant very much and always wore it.

When the two of them first met, Ah Xie was severely injured and did not seem to have long to live.

She asked the Martial Dao Prime Body to bring her to meet her mother.

Initially, Ah Xie intended to give the jade pendant to her mother. She wanted to tell her mother that she was severely injured and might not be able to survive. If she died, her mother could sell the jade pendant in exchange for some money to bury her. Even then, there would be quite a lot of money remaining.

Unexpectedly, the moment Ah Xie said that she was severely injured, her mother’s face was filled with contempt as she waved her hands repeatedly to interrupt, “I don’t have any money, I’ve got nothing to give you to treat your injuries. Cripple, get lost! Don’t die here!”

“How can there be such a heartless mother in the world?!”

The Martial Dao Prime Body was enraged. He looked at the sickly Ah Xie in his arms and felt his heart ache again.. He carried Ah Xie and turned to leave, saying loudly to her, “Don’t worry, no matter if you live or die in the future, I’ll accompany you!”
