Through the conversations between Black Tiger Emperor, Xia Tianyi, and the others, Su Yi learned that Xiwan City's arrival had drawn the attention of every faction.
Luoshui Sect was the first human sect to make a move. Other sects would arrive next, while the demonic path and other members of the Demon Race were also stirring restlessly.
"No wonder the Human Emperor wanted to impart cultivation techniques to us."
Su Yi sighed. He did not know whether cultivating the Demon Emperor Divine Technique was the right choice.
Though he had cultivated for only a few days, under the effects of the Dragon Strength Pill, his body had already begun transforming toward that of a demon.
If he stopped now and started over, he would suffer severe damage. Even his Hundred Dragon Strength would be depleted by more than half. For some time, he would be unable to move, and the process would be unbearably painful.
At this point, he could only walk this road into darkness and see whether there would be a chance to change course in the future.
Before long, Nan Xiaopao and the others woke up.
"Is this real? We can cultivate?"
Zhang Manting cried out in delighted surprise. She was ecstatic. After all, she was still in school and had read plenty of novels in her spare time. She had once yearned for cultivation as well.
Her parents were equally excited. If things were truly as described in the cultivation technique, then once they became cultivators, they would have the power to resist monsters.
"Wow, I can cultivate too! Once I become stronger, I'll be able to protect you!"
Nan Xiaopao grinned at Su Yi. After saying that, she stuck out her tongue sheepishly. Su Yi was so powerful—how long would she have to cultivate before she could catch up to him?
"Then I'll wait for you. You can cultivate here from now on. I need to go out for a while. With your family here, you can look after one another."
Su Yi said with a smile. Nan Xiaopao possessed One Dragon Power. If she cultivated, no one in the entire city would be her match, not to mention that she had the Exquisite Dharma Robe protecting her.
He, meanwhile, wanted to find an uninhabited place to cultivate and practice the Immortal Slashing Heart Sword as well as the divine ability scroll Old Lord Qiyang had given him.
"Where are you going? Are you abandoning your wife?"
Nan Xiaopao immediately grew nervous. Her words made her aunt and uncle break out in cold sweat.
This girl was always so improper with her words.
"No. I have something to do. I'll come back to find you later."
Su Yi smiled as he rubbed her hair. In all of Xiwan City, Nan Xiaopao was the only one he cared about. Having come to Desolate Ancient, he would naturally protect her well, but it was inconvenient for him to cultivate within the city.
Nan Xiaopao thought it over and finally nodded in agreement.
Naturally, Zhang Manting's family had no objections. In this apocalyptic situation, they had not dared place complete trust in Su Yi to begin with.
Just like that, Su Yi left the residential complex.
"Cousin, just how strong is Su Yi?"
Zhang Manting asked. She and Nan Xiaopao stood on the balcony, watching Su Yi walk away.
Nan Xiaopao did not take her eyes off him. "Very strong. I can't explain it to you."
"Tch!"
Zhang Manting snorted dismissively and turned back inside. Her parents had already begun trying to cultivate, and she did not want to waste time either.
At the same time, a wave of cultivation swept through the entire city.
Far fewer people were heading to Baiqiao University. Tens of thousands had fainted on the athletic field while receiving inherited cultivation techniques, giving Mo Haosheng and the others a terrible fright. Once the people woke up, they hurriedly questioned them and only then learned what had happened.
"Xuanyuan Human Emperor? How is that possible!"
Mo Haosheng was greatly shocked, and the other Luoshui Sect disciples were the same.
"The legendary Human Emperor really exists?"
"No way... wasn't that just mythology?"
"We're done for. This city was transported here by the Human Emperor. If we interfere, will we offend him?"
"What are we supposed to do now?"
The Luoshui Sect disciples became even more panic-stricken. Although Luoshui Sect was powerful, before the Human Emperor, it was not worth mentioning at all.
"Wait here. I'll return to the sect first and report this news."
Mo Haosheng spoke, then leaped into the air and departed atop his sword.
The other Luoshui Sect disciples gnashed their teeth in fury. That fellow had run off so fast without even discussing it with them.
Yet they did not dare show their emotions and could only swallow their resentment.
Half an hour later, Su Yi finally left the city.
Xiwan City was enormous, and with the towering forest tangled in every direction, even moving at full speed took him quite some time.
He moved like a leopard through the woods and swiftly arrived atop a mountain peak.
From here, he could overlook one corner of Xiwan City. He could vaguely see figures moving about, and some people were even cultivating on rooftops or terraces.
Su Yi took the Zhouwu Sword and the Immortal Slashing Heart Sword manual from the Dao Vault. He held the sword in his right hand and began flipping through the manual with his left.
Besides basic sword techniques, the Immortal Slashing Heart Sword also came with a finishing move.
At minor mastery, defeat enemies with sword speed!
At major mastery, move the sword with the heart!
It could slay immortals!
It looked incredibly formidable. Su Yi memorized every sword move and began practicing with his sword.
At first, his movements were clumsy, but fortunately, the Dragon Strength Pill had cleansed his meridians and marrow, allowing him to learn quickly.
Before long, he could execute the entire set of sword moves with complete mastery. He flickered rapidly across the mountaintop like a white shadow.
Thus, Su Yi began his path of cultivation.
He practiced swordsmanship during the day and absorbed Moon Essence at night to increase his cultivation.
In the blink of an eye.
Ten days passed in a rush.
Su Yi had already entered the threshold of the Immortal Slashing Heart Sword. He now carried the bearing of a swordsman, and his cultivation had advanced considerably. He could already sense demon power within his dantian.
That day, Su Yi took out his phone and joined the Emperor Su Sect group chat.
Emperor Su: I gave the Immortal Slashing Heart Sword to a mortal. He reached minor mastery in ten days. How is his talent?
Xia Tianyi: Ten days? Impossible!
Black Tiger Emperor: Really? The Immortal Slashing Heart Sword is the Sword Saint's famous signature technique!
Old Lord Qiyang: A mortal? Why are you cultivating a mortal, Emperor Su?
Wu Qingyao: Such monstrous talent—he really is a mortal?
Su Yi smiled as he read. Looks like I'm a genius!
Ever since he began cultivating, he had felt that his talent was extraordinary. It was not merely the Dragon Strength Pill's effect. Could his phone have influenced him?
Su Yi began bragging, declaring that he would uncover countless geniuses and forge the strongest sect. Their joining Emperor Su Sect was their honor!
His boasts left the Emperor Su Sect members thoroughly fired up.
The reason they did not doubt Su Yi was that the pressure he exuded when angered was simply too terrifying. He was definitely not as simple as an Earthly Immortal.
After bragging for a while, Su Yi continued practicing his swordsmanship.
He wanted to master the Immortal Slashing Heart Sword as soon as possible, moving the sword with his heart and annihilating everything with a single kill!
He had also examined the divine ability scroll Old Lord Qiyang had given him, but he could not comprehend it at all. When he opened it, there was not a single trace of writing inside.
Two days later.
At the far end of the desert north of Qiling Land, a black line appeared, separating heaven from earth.
Drawing closer, one could see an uncountable army of demon beasts charging forward. Dust billowed into the sky, and the earth shook like mountains were collapsing. Among the army were ten-meter Demon Wolves, hairy elephants as large as small mountains, and every kind of monster imaginable. All of them roared, alarming Xiwan City.
"That sound is..."
"The monsters are here! The monsters are here!"
"What a terrifying sound! Could it be a beast tide?"
"It's coming from outside the city. What's going on?"
Everyone in the city who was diligently cultivating was alarmed. During this time, Xiwan City had entered a state of citywide cultivation, and few people walked the streets.
They had thought peace had arrived, but it was shattered so quickly.
Many soldiers stood guard north of Xiwan City. Most were armed police officers and regular police officers who had organized themselves to protect the city. But when they saw the army of demon beasts ahead, even the hands clutching their guns trembled.
