Chapter 359 - Xuantian City
Not long after Ji Yaoxue left, Night Spirit escorted Xiaoning over as Su Zimo repaired the array formations around the cave abode.
“What’s wrong?”
He asked when he saw Xiaoning hesitant to speak, as though something was bothering her.
She hesitated for a moment before taking out an ancient Elixir Furnace and frowned. “Brother, for some reason, this Elixir Furnace has been emitting heat ever since we entered the ancient battlefield.”
Su Zimo received the Elixir Furnace and touched it.
Indeed, the Elixir Furnace was giving off a faint heat that was not too obvious.
This was the Elixir Furnace was the source of their feud with True Fire Sect back in the capital of Great Zhou.
Ever since Xiaoning obtained that Elixir Furnace, she was able to focus with ease and reach her peak performance for elixir refinement!
The strength of the ferocious beasts they encountered was getting stronger and they were even ambushed by some other cultivators a couple of times. Apart from Su Zimo, almost everyone else was injured.
Although they were of the same cultivation realm, the six meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivators they encountered in the depths of the ancient battlefield were much stronger than those at the borders.
Even Ji Chengtian was beaten in a one-on-one fight despite possessing Ethereal Peak’s three major secret skills.
As for Su Zimo, the pressure on him was mounting.
He could ensure the safety of the six of them at the borders of the ancient battlefield.
But now, he could only ensure two at most!
They continued on the road for 10 days with barely any time to cultivate.
Even though their cultivation realms were similar to before, Ji Chengtian and the others experienced significant growth in their strength due to the intense battles and brushes with death in those 10 days.
That was a transformation that cultivation in seclusion could never achieve.
10 days later, an ancient city appeared on the horizon close to evening, as if an ancient beast was sprawled there.
That was a place indicated on the map as a gathering spot, named Xuantian City.
Cities that were left behind in the ancient battlefield were usually the biggest gathering spots where cultivators of all factions gathered.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
They were worn out physically and mentally after being on the road for 10 days. Apart from Su Zimo who was still brimming with energy without any signs of fatigue, the others bore injuries and were already at their limits.
If they could not find a place to settle down before the sky turned dark, that would have been an arduous night for them.
Along the way, Ji Chengtian and the others gradually viewed Su Zimo with increasing curiosity and respect.
Be it at the borders of the ancient battlefield or deep inside, nobody could read Su Zimo’s limits.
That seemingly frail body of his seemed to possess limitless energy and his vigor and endurance were shocking!
The few of them knew that if not for Su Zimo, they would have died on the journey before they even saw Xuantian City.
