Chapter 1943: Chapter 1400: Conversation_2
"The Reform Faction wishes to use the might of this sword to invade the Other Realm, while the Ancient Faction seeks to wield it to fend off external forces. Neither the Reform Faction nor the Conservative Faction are willing to let this sword fall into others’ hands, but I am different..."
Elder Jiu looked at the Absolute Heaven Sword held closely in Su Yuan’s embrace, a touch of emotion and reluctance in his voice, and said:
"I have wielded this sword for many years, yet it has never truly yielded. With the pride of such a sword, it certainly would not recognize Your Excellency as its master merely because you are the Space Emperor, nor would it aid Your Excellency in breaking through to the True Domain... It seems Your Excellency possesses extraordinary qualities unseen by us."
"Whether to advance or retreat, whether to move or remain still, there is no certainty. Under the Heavenly Tribulation, no one can ensure they are correct." Elder Jiu’s gaze shifted from the Absolute Heaven Sword to Su Yuan, implying something as he said, "But I believe the judgment of the Absolute Heaven Sword will not be wrong."
Su Yuan’s eyes flashed, and he smiled, saying, "Well said."
With that, Su Yuan rose to his feet.
The two stopped at that point, saying no more.
Looking at Ba Shu standing by the side, Su Yuan said, "In a few days, you may return to this Absolute Heaven Forbidden Area. Since I have entered the True Domain, I can comprehend more of the space mysteries and offer you some guidance."
With the Absolute Heaven Sword, Su Yuan could sever the void and return here at any time.
In the cultivation endeavors of those around him, besides providing resources, his ability to aid was limited, but he could still offer some guidance to this disciple proficient in the space element.
Ba Shu’s eyes brightened, and she bowed in surprise and gratitude, "Thank you, Master!"
Su Yuan nodded slightly, glanced at Elder Jiu who sat as if he were meditating, and then transformed into a streak of spirit light, disappearing from the scene.
This conversation with Elder Jiu ended without any agreements or contracts.
But among the clever, understanding each other’s stance suffices...
So everything can proceed accordingly.
Of course, Su Yuan would not completely trust Elder Jiu, let alone the Grey Realm with its three factions.
What Su Yuan trusted was the Absolute Heaven Sword in his hand and... himself!
...
Upon returning to the Yan Court, Su Yuan began devouring the numerous King-level Star Cores provided by the Demon Sky Palace with the God-controlling Sword, commencing cultivation of the final two laws among the Ten Constant Laws: the Law of Light and the Law of Darkness.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Although a great distance remained to the Mystic Sky True Domain and its "Hundred Rules," continuous accumulation was essential.
Afterward, Su Yuan, with a flicker of his body, exited the Qingming Realm.
In the grand hall of the Yu Emperor Tower, Yang Aoshan was hosting Green Emperor, Red Emperor, Spirit Emperor, and Ling Xiao.
Seeing the Jade Talisman Yang Aoshan brought and sensing the pulse of the Absolute Heaven Sword, they rushed to the Yu Emperor Hall.
Within the hall, as the space slightly rippled, Su Yuan appeared and said, "Everyone, thank you for waiting."
Upon seeing this, Yang Aoshan gave a small smile and quietly withdrew.
Green Emperor smiled, "We have just arrived too."
Spirit Emperor looked puzzled and asked, "Yu Emperor, that space fluctuation earlier seemed like..."
Su Yuan nodded slightly and casually revealed the Absolute Heaven Sword, "I have obtained this treasure!"
"Is it truly the Absolute Heaven Sword?!" Their eyes gleamed brightly, "Good, with this, great things are achievable!"
Regarding how to counter Cangding, over the years Su Yuan has held secret discussions with the various emperors of Great Flame.
Green Emperor felt Su Yuan’s strategy was too risky, lacking geographical advantage, and could end in total defeat, so he voted against it.
Red Emperor believed that Blue Sea was already weak, and abandoning terrain advantage was essential to catch them off guard; otherwise, even a victory would be a pyrrhic victory, so he voted in favor.
Spirit Emperor considered both viable and abstained.
With Su Yuan himself, the proposal passed within Great Flame with two votes in favor, one against, and one abstention.
Having reached a decision, Green Emperor also set aside his objections, joining forces with the others to prepare around Su Yuan’s strategy, and worked on informing and persuading other forces.
After all, the fundamental guarantee to defeat the strong with the weak is unity among the people!
Now that Su Yuan finally obtained the Absolute Heaven Sword, the pivotal component for implementing the strategy, everyone was naturally delighted.
Spirit Emperor, examining the Absolute Heaven Sword in Su Yuan’s hand, said, "With this treasure we’ve acquired, and the emperors of Cangding Realm prepared to return, it seems the time to inform all parties is near..."
Green Emperor and Ling Xiao both nodded.
However, Red Emperor, who had remained silent, fixated his burning gaze on Su Yuan and said, "Yu Emperor, there appears to be a difference?"
The eyes of Green Emperor, Spirit Emperor, and Ling Xiao turned to Su Yuan with surprise, scrutinizing him up and down.
A few people vaguely felt that Su Yuan’s aura seemed even more deep and heavy, but they couldn’t quite make it out.
Confronting the few people before him, Su Yuan didn’t hide anything, nodding with a smile: "Red Emperor truly has eyes of golden flame... By the power of the Absolute Heaven Sword, I have luckily stepped into the True Domain."
"...True Domain?!"
The pupils of the Green Emperor and others shrank sharply, followed by an intense shock and amazement in their eyes as they stared at Su Yuan incredulously.
Cultivating in the True Domain is by no means easy.
First, one must reach the core of the Heart Domain’s deepest part, and then enter within to touch the true form condensed by the power of the soul and integrate its strength into one’s own domain.
Among those present, except Ling Xiao, countless years were spent consuming an unknown amount of Hongmeng Purple Qi and undergoing numerous realizations...
Other than the Red Emperor who had just comprehended the True Domain, neither the Green Emperor nor the Spirit Emperor had been able to step into this realm.
Yet Su Yuan, who has cultivated for less than a hundred years, having ascended to the Emperor Level mere decades ago, has unexpectedly entered the True Domain ahead of others??
Ling Xiao was the first to recover, smirking and shaking his head.
Despite how abnormal this is, Ling Xiao had long developed a certain resistance to Su Yuan’s anomalies.
After being stunned for a moment, the Spirit Emperor let out a dry laugh first, saying: "Yu Huang, indeed has the demeanor of heavenly people..."
The gap in talent here is truly on a scale that leaves one helpless and speechless; the Spirit Emperor really couldn’t hold back and could only shake his head with a dry laugh.
Not to mention the Spirit Emperor, even the Green Emperor felt somewhat impacted.
However, the Green Emperor’s thoughts were more focused on the Great Flame and Heavenly Tribulation.
"Good, very good!" The Green Emperor, shocked, burst into laughter, "With this, our odds have at least increased by another thirty percent!"
Star Card Master, quality over quantity!
As the core figure of the Earth Tribulation and Beast Tribulation, Su Yuan’s performance is evident to all.
Despite just becoming an emperor, having killed five emperors in the Cangding Realm is enough to show Su Yuan’s formidable strength, far beyond comparison with normal new emperors.
Now that Su Yuan has not only subdued the Absolute Heaven Sword but has also broken through into the True Domain at this time, his strength will surely increase once again, which is undoubtedly great news for us against the Heavenly Tribulation.
The Spirit Emperor quickly calmed his feeling of "frustration," exclaiming: "Good news keeps coming; soon, everything will be ready!"
The Red Emperor beside them flashed sharply in his eyes, saying: "However, there’s still one matter left unfinished..."
Su Yuan nodded slightly: "Bodhi Sect!"
...
Southern Continent, within Yixian Dao.
The Feather Transformation Mountain, full of white plum blossoms, dotted flowers, with fragrance permeating the path.
Clad in black robe, Su Yuan and Yang Aoshan walked from the Yixian Dao mountain gate to this place, yet seemingly unnoticed by anyone.
Only when Su Yuan and Yang Aoshan were about to ascend Feather Transformation Mountain did two female cultivators guarding the mountain realize the presence of a pair of strangers in black robes amid the sea of white.
"Hmm? Who are you two...!"
Just as they were about to shout sternly, a divine thought transmitted from the peak fell upon them.
Their expressions changed repeatedly, gazing at Su Yuan in surprise and curiosity, then respectfully saluting: "Upper Emperor, please, please enter..."
Su Yuan remained silent, leading Yang Aoshan by the hand to step forward and appreciate the plum blossoms.
"After years of seclusion, it’s either artifact refining or cultivation, truly it’s been a long time since I enjoyed such a scene~" Su Yuan glanced around, smiling slightly.
Yang Aoshan, holding Su Yuan’s arm, continuously surveyed the mountain full of white plum blossoms: "Thousands of plum blossoms, endless transformations. At first glance, there are 36,500 plum trees, but in detail, it’s 1,480,000 plum petals, corresponding precisely with the circulation of all stars..."
As the spiritual sense explored, Yang Aoshan’s face was increasingly filled with amazement.
"The entire Feather Transformation Mountain is a massive array, at least perfectly integrating three different array theories, the Chess Emperor’s proficiency in the array path is simply divine..."
"And even more, she is a heroine among women." Su Yuan smiled, "Back then, without her ambush move breaking through the heart of the Sky-reaching Divine Tree, there would be no victory of emperors in Chaotic Star Domain."
Yang Aoshan, who also participated in the battle in the Chaotic Star Domain, upon hearing this, held more admiration and curiosity towards this master of arrays, probing into the wonders of the full mountain of white plum blossoms.
As she continued to look, Yang Aoshan became completely engrossed in the operation of the array, her eyes burn brightly, continuously calculating, like an obsessive researcher, unable to move forward.
Su Yuan saw this, smiled slightly, and then proceeded to ascend Yuhua Peak...
