"Brother Su?"
Zhao Chengkong's voice pulled Su Yu out of his thoughts.
He came over with two cups of freshly brewed hot tea and saw Su Yu still standing in front of the painting, his eyes fixed.
Su Yu looked away and took the tea cup. "Thank you."
Zhao Chengkong sat down on the futon opposite him and blew on the tea foam. "What do you see?"
"This painting is not simple." Su Yu said bluntly.
Zhao Chengkong's hand holding the tea paused, and she looked up at him. "What should I say?"
"The ink is old, but the ink on the dragon scales is brand new, and..." Su Yu paused, "When I lightly touched the edge of the scroll with my spiritual consciousness, it reacted."
Zhao Chengkong put down the tea cup, and the usual honest expression on his face became lighter, revealing a thoughtful look underneath.
He was silent for a few breaths, his eyes fell on the scroll on the wall, and a trace of complexity flashed across his eyes.
This painting was left by his father.
His father passed away when he was very young, leaving only this side courtyard and this painting, and he also left a sentence: "There is opportunity in it".
He has been studying for more than ten years, inputting true energy, dripping blood, and even invited the array master in the village to come and check, but in the end he found nothing.
Over time, he has long regarded this painting as a memory left by his father, rather than as a unique inheritance.
But now, Su Yu has reacted to the scroll.
Zhao Chengkong felt a mixture of emotions in his heart, including shock, confusion, and even a hint of sadness that his heart was touched.
This painting is a relic of my late father and should not be allowed to be seen by outsiders.
But Su Yu is the helper he specially invited, not only for himself, but also to resolve the current crisis of the Heavenly Evolution Mountain Manor.
If Su Yu can really realize the opportunity, maybe it is his father's secret arrangement?
He picked up the tea cup, then slowly put it down, and finally spoke in a calm tone, "Brother Su, if you can understand something, it means that this is your opportunity. You can understand this painting."
As soon as the words fell, the entanglement in my heart disappeared.
Opportunity cannot be forced or blocked.
Su Yu looked at him and nodded gently without any unnecessary excuses. "Thank you, brother Chengkong."
"You're welcome." Zhao Chengkong waved his hand and his expression returned to normal, "Now there are constant attacks and assassinations in the villa. With one more trump card, we will have more confidence in protecting ourselves."
The two no longer mentioned the scroll, and instead discussed the current situation in a low voice.
The great elder Zhao Y ehan holds the villa's security and communication array, and his power is overwhelming.
The owner Zhao Kuohai has an ambiguous attitude and unclear position.
The elders' meeting three days later will be the key to determining the direction of the situation.
Zhao Chengkong needs to secretly find out the position of the other elders Soul Control Faction, and at the same time beware of Zhao Y ehan taking desperate risks.
Su Yu also warned Zhao Chengxiong that although Zhao Chengxiong had been defeated by him, Soul Fusion Faction's demonized disciples were still a big threat, and they should especially be wary of the other party's secret attacks.
The two talked for about half an hour, then Zhao Chengkong stood up and said goodbye.
"Brother Su, you rest here first. I'm going to see Chengyu and inquire about the opinions of several elders. This courtyard is in a remote location and few people come here on weekdays. You can just feel free to study it."
"Okay."
Zhao Chengkong walked to the door, looked back at Su Yu, and seemed to have something to say, but in the end he just nodded, opened the door and walked out, closing the door gently.
The courtyard instantly became quiet, with only the bamboo leaves rustling in the night wind.
Su Yu did not go to the scroll immediately. He walked slowly around the room, adjusted his breath, and allowed himself to completely calm down.
After a while, he walked one step away from the scroll, sat cross-legged, and quietly looked at the majestic sea of clouds in the painting and the Azure Flood Dragon breaking through the clouds.
He slowly closed his eyes.
Within the sea of consciousness, Purple-Gold Prison-Suppressing Platform trembled slightly.
A wisp of purple-gold spiritual consciousness that was condensed to the extreme, as if it were substance, turned into a slender thread, quietly stretched out, and gently touched the surface of the scroll.
Buzz--
This time, the tremor coming from the scroll was much clearer than before.
Su Yu only felt that his consciousness was being pulled by an invisible hand, sinking straight towards the depths of the scroll.
The surrounding light suddenly dimmed, then suddenly lit up the next moment.
When he opened his eyes again, Su Yu was already on a boundless sea of clouds.
Underfoot are the endless waves of gray and white clouds, and above the head is the deep ink sky, dotted with a few rays of broken starlight.
The strong wind howled, making his clothes rustle.
Ten feet ahead, the rolling sea of clouds suddenly parted to both sides, and a huge cyan figure entrenched itself in it.
It is Azure Flood Dragon in the painting!
The Azure Flood Dragon in front of me is far more real than the picture, and the whole body exudes a terrifying sense of oppression.
The scales are as if they were carved from fine sapphire, and under the reflection of broken starlight, they glow with a cold and lustrous luster.
Most of its body is hidden in the sea of clouds, and only the front half is exposed, making it look like a towering hill.
The dark green vertical pupils stared quietly at Su Yu who rashly broke into this place, with a calm gaze.
There is no hostility, no goodwill, only pure scrutiny.
Su Yu kept his steps steady and did not retreat.
He raised his head to meet Azure Flood Dragon's gaze, and the "Purple-Gold Prison-Suppressing Scripture" in his body began to operate autonomously. A thick wisp of Prison-Suppressing True Intent quietly spread out, facing the Dragon Might that was coming towards him.
The majestic pressure swept over like a tide, ancient and heavy, with an air of indifference overlooking all living beings.
This is not suppression at the cultivation level, but absolute overlooking at the life level.
The entire sea of clouds surged more and more violently under this pressure, and a low roar could be heard faintly.
Su Yu The waist is straight and the clothes are windless.
The Purple-Gold Prison-Suppressing Platform in the sea of consciousness shone brightly, and Prison-Suppressing True Intent condensed into chains of phantoms, hovering around him, layer upon layer, constantly counteracting and grinding away the incoming terrifying pressure.
One person and one dragon spent a long time in such a silent confrontation.
I don't know how long it took, but the unchanging indifference in Azure Flood Dragon's vertical pupils finally showed a slight fluctuation.
It slowly opened its huge mouth.
No sound came out, but a vaster and more ancient will, as if it had existed since the beginning of the world, suddenly rushed into the Su Yu sea of consciousness!
This is not an attack, but an inquiry and a test.
Su Yu's sea of consciousness shook violently, Purple-Gold Prison-Suppressing Platform's light flashed wildly, and Prison-Suppressing True Intent pushed with all his strength before he could barely stabilize his mind.
This will, wrapped in endless desolation and supreme majesty, pointed directly at his true heart.
"What are you after?"
Su Yu was shocked.
He never expected that the first test of the inheritance in this scroll would be to ask the heart.
He was not in a hurry to answer, countless images flashed through his mind.
The confusion of coming to another world for the first time, the journey accompanied by the system, the repeated experiences in the Demon Suppression Bureau, the blood and fire of City of Calamity and Chaos...
What exactly are you pursuing?
Do you want to keep getting stronger? Live a stable life? Or do you want to protect the people around you?
Thousands of thoughts emerged in confusion, but under the calmness of Prison-Suppressing True Intent, they gradually settled and returned to calm.
Finally, an extremely clear answer emerged in my heart.
He raised his eyes, looked directly into those green vertical pupils, and responded with his spiritual thoughts. His voice was calm, but with unshakable determination.
"What I want to cultivate Dao of Prison Suppression is... to suppress the evil in this town and subjugate the demons. That's all."
The entire sea of clouds suddenly became silent.
Azure Flood Dragon's huge body moved slightly, and its scales rubbed against each other, making a crisp sound of gold and stone.
In its vertical pupils, the layer of indifferent frost quietly melted a little.
Azure Flood Dragon slowly closed the huge mouth.
The ancient will that invaded the sea of consciousness slowly receded, and was replaced by a more peaceful but boundless artistic conception of the great road.
The sea of clouds in the scroll space began to rotate rapidly, forming a huge vortex with Azure Flood Dragon as the center.
The stars in the sky gathered from all directions and all fell on the huge body of Azure Flood Dragon.
Azure Flood Dragon looked up at the sky and roared Soundless.
In the center of the vortex, a deep blue stream of light suddenly flashed, extremely fast, and rushed straight into the depths of Su Yu's mind.
