Old Man Su's Speculation

Although the Purple Qi Coming from the East rare among martial arts practitioners, it is frequently recorded in historical texts due to the countless heroes throughout history.

However, the Purple Cloud Emergence was a truly extraordinary phenomenon.

Searching through historical records, it is difficult to find a similar scene: a purple cloud covering the vast and boundless Yunhuang. Such a scale is unprecedented and unparalleled!

Originally, no one would have associated "the Purple Cloud Emergence" with "Purple Qi Coming from the East".

And Old Man Su, for no apparent reason, had this thought.

Lin Xin Tong was stunned. "Teacher, how is this possible? The area where the Purple Cloud Emergence is so vast, it couldn't possibly be the Purple Qi Coming from the East."

"The Purple Qi Coming from the East signifies that a martial artist's Essence, Energy, Spirit have been recognized by the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi. But the Purple Cloud Emergence would likely disturb the entire Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi of the Great Wilderness, yet it still couldn't possibly manifest on such a scale!"

Lin Xin Tong found it hard to believe; even Great Emperor breaking through couldn't be this exaggerated.

Old Man Su nodded, gave a self-deprecating laugh, and said, "Haha, I was just saying it casually, it just came to mind for a moment."

Old Man Su never brought it up again, but sometimes, Old Man Su sudden flashes of insight and premonitions were actually quite accurate.

"Xin Tong, you left that kid a book of 'Dragon Marrow Tiger Bones Fist' with annotations, and he actually comprehended it to this extent. His comprehension is truly remarkable. In that case, Xin Tong, you're already this kid's master. Well, I'm your master, so this kid is my grand-disciple. Sigh, this kid has taken advantage of me again."

Old Man Su shook his head as he spoke, and Lin Xin Tong wanted to laugh. If others recognized a master of the grandfather's generation, they would be at a disadvantage, but with her master, anyone who recognized him as a master of the grandfather's generation would be getting a good deal.

"Xin Tong, you know what, I'm starting to think highly of him now. Speaking of which, have you figured out the influence he has on your Innate Yin Meridian?"

Lin Xin Tong shook her head; this feeling was unfounded and impossible to confirm.

That night, when she got home, Lin Xin Tong started circulating the <Mysterious Maiden Heart Sutra>, but no matter how she tried, her meridians remained depleted and there was no reaction whatsoever.

This result was actually expected...

Su Jie, however, was quite open-minded. He said, "Xin Tong, I will be meeting with Marquis Wen Yun in a few days. The reason for the Purple Cloud Emergence in Yunhuang is still unknown. However, Marquis Wen Yun came to Yunhuang with the national treasure Treasure Seeking Compass, and found an ancient secret place. This secret place is too dangerous; your strength is simply not enough to enter. Even several renowned figures from the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, including Marquis Wen Yun, have gathered together but have hesitated for a long time, not daring to enter rashly. This time, Marquis Wen Yun made a copy of a fragmented Formation Diagram of the ancient secret place and used it to invite me. I am very interested and plan to go. Perhaps there is the inheritance of the ancient Savage Heaven Master in this ancient secret place. If I can gain some inspiration, I might be able to continue your Xin Tong Fatal Meridian, Xin Tong."

As Su Jie spoke, Lin Xin Tong felt both worried and touched. "Master, that secret place..."

"Haha, don't worry, I'll be fine. My main task this time is to decipher the Formation Diagram. Besides, I've been traveling the Great Wilderness for so many years, when have I ever suffered a loss? When I was young, I often risked my life in secret realms, and I resolved even the most dangerous situations. Back then, countless people were eager to team up with me to enter secret realms."

Old Man Su said with great pride that he wasn't entirely bragging; he was indeed adept at defusing dangers and retrieving treasures from the many perils of the secret realm.

However, the fact that many people are vying to team up with Old Man Su to enter the secret realm is actually somewhat different from what Old Man Su said.

Before Su Jie became as famous as he is now, he often teamed up with others to explore secret realms. However, they encountered unexpected dangers in these realms and unfortunately all of them perished, except for Old Man Su managed to escape.

Sometimes, he even managed to gain some benefits, though Su Jie himself would never admit it.

Whenever he spoke to someone, he would feign grief, as if mourning those who had died, while simultaneously suggesting that the near-death experiences in the secret realm had deeply traumatized him.

But in the blink of an eye, people saw him strolling into underground Marketplace or auctions, selling off his unwanted treasures in exchange for what he needed, and returning home laden with spoils, a lewd smile on his face.

After several such incidents, people gave Su Jie a nickname – "Su Paopao" – and the name "Su Paopao" quickly spread. From then on, no one would team up with him to run dungeons anymore.

After they went there, everyone became cannon fodder, except for him who managed to escape. Who would dare to play with him now?

Therefore, there is reason to believe that Marquis Wen Yun invited Old Man Su this time because he had encountered an unsolvable problem in the secret realm and had no other choice but to ask Su Jie to solve it.

At this moment, amidst the puzzled, astonished, or bewildered gazes of the surrounding audience, Yi Yun stepped down from the white jade platform.

"Your name is Yi Yun? You're twelve years old?"

Just then, Yi Yun heard a true essence transmission in his ear. He looked up and saw Zhang Tan looking at him.

Yi Yun slowed his pace and nodded.

"What's your cultivation level? Qi Induction Realm?"

Yi Yun nodded again.

"Early stage of Qi Refining? Or peak stage of Qi Refining?"

"Peak." Yi Yun's lips moved slightly, and even from a distance, Zhang Tan understood.

This kid still can't force a sound into a line.

This is truly amusing. This is a simple trick that even someone at the Meridian Realm can learn. Did his master not teach him it, or does he not even have a proper master?

No, without a master, he couldn't have mastered that kind of "Dragon Marrow Tiger Bones Fist".

A multitude of thoughts flashed through Zhang Tan's mind in an instant.

This Yi Yun is truly a freak!

It seems that his breakthrough during the preliminary selection was from the early stage of Qi Refining to the peak stage!

While others struggled under immense pressure, he achieved a breakthrough despite it.

What's even more remarkable is that Yi Yun is only twelve years old!

At twelve years old, he possesses exceptional comprehension and impressive cultivation, making him a very promising talent.

"Do you know what the clouds you just summoned mean?" Zhang Tan asked.

Yi Yun's heart stirred, and he looked up at the sky. In the sky, the purple clouds stretched endlessly. Because of the long time, the light of these clouds had slowly diffused, like a set of scattered purple feathers, which was very beautiful.

Purple clouds filled the sky...

When Yi Yun was cultivating, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi) surged into his body, passed through the Purple Crystal, and was then expelled through countless tiny pores of his physical body.

It seems that this essence, interacting with the surrounding Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi), condensed into the purple glow.

This purple haze should also be related to the Origin Purple Crystal.

"If you don't know, that's fine. Remember, stay humble and avoid arrogance. There are countless outstanding people in this world, and the Great Wilderness World is too vast. The Tai'a Divine Kingdom alone has boundless and immeasurable territory. Don't think that your achievements are anything special. Working hard is the right path!"

Yi Yun humbly accepted Zhang Tan's teachings. In fact, even without Zhang Tan saying it, Yi Yun roughly knew that he had not even reached the starting point on the path of martial arts, and that his journey was still long.

With these thoughts in mind, Yi Yun left Baiyutai and walked towards his position. As a member of the Lian Clan, his location was adjacent to that of the Lian Clan.
