Inside the Demon God Grotto-Heaven, Su Xiuyi focused wholeheartedly on her cultivation.
Time flies, and five years have passed in a flash.
In the Demon God Grotto-Heaven, an extremely terrifying demon was suppressed by Su Xiuyi with a flick of her wrist.
Its body sank into the ground, covered in blood, roaring angrily, but under Su Xiuyi's oppressive aura, it was completely unable to move. The Blood Dog in Su Xiuyi's arms, a hint of excitement appearing in its demonic eyes, seized the opportunity to suck in a large amount of essence blood, which was devoured by the Blood Dog.
Not only was it severely injured, but it also lost countless essences and blood. The great demon roared madly, but it couldn't change anything. The Blood Dog, having devoured the essences and blood, had a look of smug satisfaction in its demonic eyes. It completely ignored the great demon's Blood Dog. For the past five years, in the Demon God Grotto-Heaven, every time Su Xiuyi severely injured these great demons, it would devour their essences and blood. Four years ago, it even awakened its devouring talent. The Blood Dog's strength had been increasing dramatically every day, because the great demons who had sealed themselves in the Demon Body Grotto-Heaven were all extremely powerful beings. The ones it had devoured before were all supreme great demons who had Defying Heaven and Changing Fate.
With such a terrifyingly rich supply of demon blood to sustain its cultivation, it was impossible for its cultivation level not to skyrocket. In just five years, the Blood Dog's strength had already broken through to the Half-Step Great Tribulation of Wind and Fire, its advancement speed was nothing short of lightning.
The great demon she was devouring at this moment was even more terrifying in strength, having reached the level of Grotto-Heaven in ancient times. If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't absorb Spiritual Qi in the Demon God Grotto-Heaven, Su Xiuyi wouldn't have been able to suppress it.
However, Su Xiuyi and the Blood Dog completely ignored the wrath of these powerful demons.
Su Xiuyi Su Xiuyi waited quietly in the void, completely numb to the great demon's furious roar.
[bite!]
[Today's check-in is available. Would you like to check in now?]
As Su Xiuyi waited expectantly, the system's mechanical voice sounded once again.
Sign in.
Su Xiuyi was filled with anticipation.
[bite!]
[Sign-in successful! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a Heavenly Dao Fortune. Heavenly Dao Fortune can enhance your own fortune!]
The system's voice sounded again.
"Um!"
At that moment, a glint of light appeared in Su Xiuyi's eyes. In the past five years, Su Xiuyi had signed for countless treasures, but since that time, she had never signed for a Heavenly Dao Fortune reward. At the same time, Su Xiuyi was also well aware of the benefits of Heavenly Dao Fortune.
Su Xiuyi never expected that he would receive the Heavenly Dao Fortune reward once again today. At this moment, Su Xiuyi clearly felt that a blessing had descended upon his Destiny, and his entire soul had been sublimated.
The final level of the Saint Realm, defying Defying Heaven and Changing Fate, is extremely difficult and not everyone can accomplish it; the Heavenly Dao Fortune is incredibly precious.
Su Xiuyi never expected that she could obtain a second strand of Heavenly Dao Fortune.
Let's go!
"Swallow less, or he'll die!"
A hint of excitement appeared on Su Xiuyi's lips as she watched the Blood Dog continue to devour the great demon's essence blood. She smiled faintly.
" Sage Su, I understand. This guy is incredibly stubborn, he keeps roaring. I'll teach him a lesson!"
The Blood Dog withdrew its devouring power and glanced contemptuously at the monster on the ground.
Back in front of the house, Su Xiuyi entered the Dao Comprehension Thatched Cottage and sat cross-legged.
He murmured, "Five years have passed. My cultivation has reached the pinnacle of the Great Tribulation of Wind and Fire, but my willpower has not yet reached its limit. Although the strength of my physical body is improving slowly, it can still be enhanced somewhat."
"There are still five years until the first wave of Spiritual Qi Tide. In five years, at the current rate of sign-in, it will be time to finish signing in. This Demon God Grotto-Heaven will then be useless. Releasing these great demons will cause the strength of the Demon Race to surge, but at the same time, their appearance will also cause the Spiritual Qi Tide to arrive earlier."
Defying Heaven and Changing Fate is extremely dangerous, as it is inherently a matter of going against the will of Heaven. Su Xiuyi dared not be careless. In recent days, she has been constantly gathering Daoist essence, trying to stack her Daoist essence to the extreme, so that it could help her Defying Heaven and Changing Fate.
Su Xiuyi would not defy Defying Heaven and Changing Fate ten years later as she had told Tie Ling. Su Xiuyi's real goal was to enter the Grotto-Heaven ten years later.
Otherwise, how could they dare to release the great demon within the Demon God Grotto-Heaven?
······
Five years have passed, and the strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been further enhanced.
The promotion of the Martial Hall in various regions has cultivated countless powerful individuals for the Great Zhou over the past five years. Five years ago, the feudal lords were wiped out, and Su Yun spent five years to severely weaken the influence of aristocratic families. Without the injection of new blood, the influence of aristocratic families can no longer affect the court.
The Great Zhou seemed to have reached its peak, but the situation was secretly changing. In five years, Su Yun had completely controlled every part of the dynasty, but in these five years, the recovery speed of Spiritual Qi had increased to a terrifying level. In just five years, the concentration of Spiritual Qi had reached ten times that of five years ago.
From the messages constantly sent back by the Night Watchers, Su Yun already knew that countless ancient powerhouses had successively reached the realm of the Great Tribulation of Wind and Fire.
Those sects that sealed themselves off five years ago have now lifted the seal and begun sending their disciples to travel the world.
What was initially a very favorable situation began to change behind the scenes.
The intimidating power Su Xiuyi that night gradually faded.
Su Yun naturally understood the reason: five years ago, all the powerful figures in the world realized that Su Xiuyi had stepped into the realm of the Great Tribulation of Wind and Fire. Countless sects and forces went into hiding, and some ancient beings also instantly hid in the shadows, waiting for the right opportunity.
Now, their time has come. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is recovering at an extremely fast pace, and the constraints of heaven and earth are gradually loosening. Some people have recovered their strength to the level of the Great Tribulation of Great Tribulation of Wind and Fire.
However, all the powerful figures in the world are clear about one thing: the guardians of the Great Zhou are the people of this new era. With the revival of heaven and earth and the enrichment of Spiritual Qi, Su Xiuyi's strength cannot increase dramatically; it can only improve slowly. Unlike them, who can recover their strength by absorbing Spiritual Qi after undergoing tribulation.
Therefore, Su Xiuyi's intimidating power gradually disappeared.
"Your Majesty, new news has arrived from Shu."
While Su Yun was deep in thought, the old eunuch, bowing low, entered the main hall and presented a memorial.
Su Yun took the memorial and began to read it. After reading it, a Sha Qi appeared between Su Yun's brows. The old eunuch also sensed Su Yun's anger, but dared not speak. In the past five years, Su Yun's power had not been something that anyone could easily challenge.
" In Shu, a new force has emerged, called the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion. They claim to be able to predict all things in the world, and now a message has spread: our Great Zhou will surely perish within five years!"
"What do you think I should do?"
At this moment, Su Yun said calmly.
The old eunuch naturally knew that Su Yun was asking him a question. He took a deep breath and cautiously said, "Your Majesty, the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion is utterly despicable. They are testing the bottom line and strength of our Great Zhou. This servant believes that the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion should be killed."
"If such a force is not destroyed, it will damage the prestige of our Great Zhou. Destroying the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion will let the world know that the majesty of our Great Zhou is inviolable, and will also serve as a warning to all other forces in the world."
Hearing the old eunuch's words, Su Yun said calmly, " The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion dares to act this way, so they must have made preparations. Going there rashly will not only result in heavy losses, but it will also damage the prestige of our Great Zhou. The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion dares to test us, so they must have Great Tribulation of Wind and Fire powerful figure backing them up. The forces of the world are probably all waiting for a response from our Great Zhou."
As Su Yun's voice fell, the temperature in the hall instantly dropped several degrees, clearly indicating that Su Yun was extremely angry at this moment.
The martial arts world has dared to provoke the imperial court; this is intolerable.
The other party clearly knew the consequences of provocation, so they must have been well-prepared.
"Your Majesty, what should we do?"
"Should this old servant go to Shu?" The old eunuch had already embarked on the Great Tribulation of Wind and Fire.
"No!"
"The world may seem calm on the surface, but undercurrents are surging beneath. We should try to preserve our strength as much as possible. Aren't there sects that want to befriend our dynasty right now?"
"Then we'll use their strength against them, let them fight it out, and that way we can ensure our own strength isn't weakened."
"Take my imperial decree and go to the Vajra Temple. If the Vajra Temple can destroy the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, then I will designate them as the state religion and allow them to develop."
"I think Vajra Temple is very happy!"
Su Yun said calmly.
The old eunuch hesitated for a moment, Su Yun, naturally aware of his hesitation, explained, " The Vajra Temple is not far from the capital. If there is any disturbance, we can suppress it with a flick of our wrist. Isn't it a matter for me, the Emperor, to decide who is the state religion?"
Upon hearing this, the old eunuch's eyes lit up. "This servant understands! Your Majesty is wise! This servant will go and convey Your Majesty's decree immediately!"
The old eunuch's figure disappeared from the main hall and headed towards the Vajra Temple.
After receiving the imperial edict, the old monks of Vajra Temple looked extremely solemn.
"Abbot, this Zhou Emperor wants us to fight against the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion so he can reap the benefits!" a senior monk said with a gloomy expression.
"Amitabha Buddha, Mingzhi, do you know what a temple is?"
"As a monarch, wisdom is the most terrifying weapon. Our Vajra Temple Vajra Temple has no choice but to accept this imperial edict, otherwise, wouldn't we be branded as disobeying the imperial decree? The current royal family is not the same as it was five years ago, and the strength of the Great Zhou Emperor is unfathomable. There is also the formidable Princess Zhao. Our Vajra Temple must accept this imperial edict. This edict is not entirely without benefits. After we destroy the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, our Vajra Temple will be the rightful state religion, and then we can rightfully spread our teachings."
"This is also an opportunity for our Vajra Temple."
" Heavenly Secrets Pavilion was sent to its death anyway. A mere Great Tribulation of Wind and Fire is no match for our Vajra Temple. Mingzhi, you can go this time. The Buddhist sect has its wrathful Vajra. Heavenly Secrets Pavilion is plotting rebellion. If we destroy Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, we will gain more popular support. Popular support is very important to the Buddhist sect."
The abbot of Vajra Temple offered an explanation.
"Yes, Master! Mingzhi, go to Shu immediately! Heavenly Secrets Pavilion is acting against the will of Heaven, attempting to disrupt this prosperous age. They are Outer Dao. Leave no one alive!" The figure of Mingzhi Space Breaking in an instant.
