Chapter 1469: Origin of Monk Daming

Translator: Legge

Standing in front of the library, Su Zimo suddenly recalled something.

This matter pertained to a guess he had regarding Monk Daming’s identity!

If the library truly contained many books that recorded history and many other things as the storyteller had said, there was a high chance he could get the verification he wanted within one of the ancient books in the library!

“Senior, can I enter the library to take a look?”

Su Zimo said, “I’m not going to look at the cultivation techniques and secret skills of Enigma Palace. I just want to look through the records of history from tens of thousands of years ago and verify some things.”

“How can that do!”

Before the storyteller could reply, Di Ji glared and said in a deep voice, “What’s your identity? The library is an important place. It’s not a place that an outsider like you can enter casually!”

Lin Xuanji pouted. “Senior Brother, stop talking. Didn’t an outsider just enter and even steal the Mystic Firmament Record?”

“If anyone else in Enigma Palace knows about this, it’ll definitely cause a huge uproar,”

Although Di Ji was flushed red from the rebuttal, he straightened his neck and argued, “It’s different! Since we already made a mistake, we can’t continue making more mistakes!”

“That’s enough,”

The storyteller waved it off and nodded to Su Zimo. “Of course you’re qualified to take a look. However, there are many books in the library and there are countless records of history. Which year do you want to take a look at? Why don’t you say it and we’ll have Xuanji bring you there directly so that you don’t have to spend your energy searching?”

“Around 30,000 to 40,000 years ago.”

Su Zimo replied ambiguously.

“Alright,”

The storyteller looked at Lin Xuanji. “Take Desolate Martial in.”

He glanced sideways and smiled when he saw Demoness Ji’s curious expression. “If you’re curious, you can follow along and take a look.”

“Master, that can’t do!”

Unable to hold it in, Di Ji stood out once more and said in a deep voice, “It’s fine if you make an exception once, but how can you do it repeatedly? Where are the rules of the sect?!”

“She’s the successor of Founder Master Ling Long. Do you think she’s qualified?”

The storyteller glared at Di Ji and blew his beard as he asked.

With a stunned expression, Di Ji murmured, “T-That means she’s qualified.”

“Kid, you’re trying to ascend to the heavens, huh?!”

The storyteller pointed at Di Ji’s nose and scolded as he smacked the latter’s head, “You even dare to boss me around now when I’m trying to do something? You even want to talk to me about sect rules?!”

On the other side, Lin Xuanji waved to Su Zimo and Demoness Ji. “Let’s go, I’ll take you guys in.”

After being scolded by the storyteller, Di Ji wilted completely and did not even dare to breathe heavily.

As for the storyteller, he looked at the backs of Su Zimo and the other two and stroked his long beard, murmuring, “Something major that happened 30,000 to 40,000 years ago… the battle between the Blood Fiend and Monk Daming?”

In the library.

There was a heavenly-piercing stone pillar that required dozens of people to wrap around. It stood in the middle of the hall and connected to the entire library!

Around the stone pillar were many ancient books.

There were even more ancient books and bamboo scrolls on the walls around the hall.

Lin Xuanji was rather familiar with this place and brought Su Zimo and Demoness Ji inside. They only stopped after dozens of steps.

“Everything that happened around 30,000 to 40,000 years ago is recorded in these ancient books. Take a look,”

Lin Xuanji pointed to a row of books on the wall.

“Thank you,”

Su Zimo expressed his thanks and walked forward, casually picking up an ancient book to browse through.

Demoness Ji closed in as well and picked one up to read.

After a long time, Demoness Ji was getting impatient.

Initially, she came in to take a look out of curiosity. To her surprise, the contents of the report were extremely boring and she lost interest after a casual glance.

However, Su Zimo continued browsing, as though he was searching for something.

Demoness Ji did not leave either and accompanied him quietly at the side, casually picking up an ancient book to pass time.

On the other side, Su Zimo flipped through another ancient book and suddenly stopped after flipping a few pages!

This ancient book recorded the battle between Dao Lord Blood Fiend and Monk Daming 40,000 years ago!

The records of that battle were similar to what Monk Yuan Bei had said.

The two of them fought three times but there was no clear victor.

After the final battle, both of them went missing and their fates were unknown. They had never appeared till now and should have died!

What Su Zimo wanted to know about was not this battle.

He wanted to know about the origin of Monk Daming.

There was a sentence recorded in the ancient book.

“Monk Daming was not human and was a remnant of the Heavenly Eye race. He was abandoned by the Heavenly Eye race and taken in by Daming Monastery later on.”

True enough!

That statement verified Su Zimo’s speculation on Six Stars Mountain!

Monk Daming was not a human—he was from the Heavenly Eye race!

Back when he first met Monk Daming in the Grand Primordium Ancient Temple, Su Zimo caught a vague glimpse of a blood scar on his glabella.

However, the scar was covered by Daming Monastery’s long hair and was not obvious.

It was only until this time round on Six Stars Mountain when he witnessed Monk Daming fight against the Blood Vine Half-Martial Ancestor with his own eyes that he saw everything clearly!

The scar was way too similar to the Heavenly Eye race’s Heavenly Eye!

That was also the reason why the scar could defend against the Green Lotus Sword and the Essence Spirit secret skill of the Blood Vine Half-Martial Ancestor!

That was because Heavenly Eye was the strongest technique of the Heavenly Eye race to begin with!

In that case, Monk Daming had yet to truly use his Heavenly Eye trump card.

He merely used his Heavenly Eye to defend.

It was hard to imagine how devastating and apocalyptic the scene would be if he had attacked with his Heavenly Eye!

At the same time, another doubt in Su Zimo’s mind was resolved.

The skeleton in the stone coffin deep underground was Monk Daming.

However, Monk Daming was someone from 40,000 years ago!

He was trapped in the stone coffin underground for 40,000 years. Even Conjoint Body Mighty Figures with 20,000 years of lifespan would have long died, let alone Dharma Characteristic Dao Lords!

However, Monk Daming did not die. Instead, he appeared in this generation!

Although it was partly because of the Mingwang Prayer Beads, there was no way Monk Daming could have lived for more than 40,000 years.

Today, Su Zimo finally understood.

That was because Monk Daming was not human to begin with—he was from the Heavenly Eye race.

Even though he was a remnant of the Heavenly Eye race, his lifespan at the Dharma Characteristic realm was far longer than humans and that was why he could last 40,000 years in the stone coffin!

After resolving that doubt, Su Zimo was prepared to leave.

Right then, he swept his gaze across and looked at the ancient book in Demoness Ji’s hands. With a thought, he asked, “What’s in this ancient book of yours?”

“It’s nothing much, just an unforeseen event of the fiend sects 20,000 years ago.”

Demoness Ji shrugged her shoulders casually.

“20,000 years ago!”

Su Zimo’s eyes lit up. “Let me take a look.”

Based on time, there was a Thousand Demon Tribulation 30,000 years ago.

There was the Great Qian Empire war 10,000 years ago.

In that case, something major might have happened 20,000 years ago!
