A day later, news of the destruction of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion spread throughout the land.
However, to the surprise of all the powerful figures in the world, the Great Zhou Dynasty did not take action. Instead, it was the ancient powerhouse, the Mingzhi, from the Vajra Temple who made the move. While the world was puzzled as to why the Vajra Temple had intervened, another piece of news spread throughout the world. This time, Su Yun issued an imperial edict, designating the Vajra Temple as the state religion.
The sects of the world had just begun to send their disciples to travel the world to test the reaction of the Great Zhou Dynasty when they suddenly learned that the Vajra Temple had been designated as the state religion and had begun to spread its teachings in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Countless sects and forces instantly became envious.
Because at this moment, these sects and forces instantly saw the benefits. Since ancient times, Buddhism and Daoism have been at odds. Countless Daoist Dao Sect expressed their dissatisfaction with Vajra Temple Great Zhou Kingdom. Countless forces went to Vajra Temple to discuss the Tao.
The pressure on the Great Zhou suddenly disappeared.
Inside the palace, as the Night Watchers continuously delivered intelligence, a smile appeared on Su Yun's face. This was the result he had wanted most. Regardless of the motives of these forces vying to become the state religion, the Great Zhou was now more relaxed and could further accumulate strength.
The old eunuch standing to the side, seeing a smile creep onto Su Yun's lips, hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is wise! This time, not only has the might of our Great Zhou remained unscathed, but we've also caused the Great Tribulation of Wind and Fire from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion to perish. It's a great victory! Now, the conflict between Buddhism and Daoism has once again created an opportunity for the development of our Great Zhou."
Su Yun laughed, "This is just the beginning. Next, we'll send our people to infiltrate the Buddhist and Daoist factions, adding fuel to the fire. This fire isn't burning bright enough yet!"
"However, with the conflict between Buddhism and Daoism, those of the Human Race guarding the borders must not let their guard down, as powerful figures from all races are highly likely to seek opportunities to infiltrate the Human Realm and cause trouble."
The old eunuch hurriedly accepted the order.
Soon, another year passed. Inside the Myriad Text Academy, the flowers and plants had long since withered, and the palace where Su Xiuyi used to live was covered with a thick layer of dust. Countless spider webs covered the palace, making it extremely dilapidated.
Suddenly, a figure in white appeared in the Myriad Text Academy, standing out from the surroundings like a celestial being descended from heaven.
It was Su Xiuyi had been signed for over six years.
Today, Su Xiuyi has everything prepared. His Daoist aura has reached its peak, and under the cleansing of two strands of Heavenly Dao Fortune, his destiny has begun to transform. It is time for him to break through to the next realm.
After Su Xiuyi appeared, two Spirit Character appeared beside her, one for 'divination' and the other for 'fortune telling'. She began to make calculations, and soon a look of surprise appeared in Su Xiuyi's eyes.
"Um?"
"More than six years have passed. With the rapid recovery of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, the Great Zhou Dynasty has become even more stable. The world is at peace, which is a sign of a prosperous age. Su Yun is indeed worthy of being an emperor. He has a good grasp of power politics and has even created a situation of conflict between Buddhism and Daoism. This can indeed bring peace temporarily."
After learning that everything was alright in the Great Zhou, a smile appeared in Su Xiuyi's eyes. After all, the Great Zhou was in a golden age, which could only benefit him in his Defying Heaven and Changing Fate.
"Let's find a suitable place first; there's still some time before the thunderstorm."
Su Xiuyi had already predicted that there would be a heavy rain tonight, and he would use this rain to cover up the strange phenomenon of breaking through to the next realm.
At midnight, on a desolate plain, Su Xiuyi, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened her eyes and uttered two words.
"They're here!"
The instant Su Xiuyi's voice fell, an extremely terrifying bolt of lightning, like a giant Silver Dragon, appeared in the pitch-black night sky, accompanied by a thunderous roar that echoed through the void.
"Boom!"
The Lei Ming sound instantly deafened countless people.
In the night sky, large raindrops finally fell, followed by a huge thunderstorm.
Under the lightning, raindrops in the void became extremely clear.
Standing in the pouring rain, Su Xiuyi watched the raindrops fall from the sky, a smile playing on her lips. "Rain is born of the heavens and dies on the earth, and I only wish for Undying. Today I Defying Heaven and Changing Fate and step into another realm. From this day forward, I am no longer a mortal with a mortal body and a mortal destiny."
At this moment, Su Xiuyi let the heavy rain fall on his face, a smile appearing in his eyes.
Today, Su Xiuyi has waited for a full sixty-nine years.
"Bring it on!"
"Today, I defy fate and Heaven-Slaying Sword Strike!"
The moment Su Xiuyi's voice fell, Su Xiuyi instantly released her long-suppressed destiny, which began to rapidly transform. At the same time, during this transformation, a gigantic eye suddenly and strangely appeared in the previously dark sky.
This eye, transcending Space-Time, instantly landed on Su Xiuyi.
A dull, terrifying, and merciless voice boomed in Su Xiuyi's mind, "A mere mortal dares to defy fate and attempt to change his destiny, to escape my control! He shall be executed!"
As the icy voice fell, an even more terrifying bolt of lightning appeared. The next moment, the void suddenly cracked open, revealing a heavenly hand wreathed in terrifying lightning power, striking towards Su Xiuyi with power that was terrifying to the extreme.
However, at this moment, Su Xiuyi smiled, showing no fear whatsoever, but rather exclaimed with immense excitement, "I've waited for you, waited for a full sixty-nine years! Come, my darling!"
At this moment, an extremely terrifying sword intent appeared within Su Xiuyi's body.
At this moment, Spirit Character appeared around Su Xiuyi, and at the same time, a sword appeared behind Su Xiuyi. This sword was the Spirit Character Combat Technique, the Tyrant Sword Art, which Su Xiuyi had been nurturing for six years, waiting for this day.
"Cut!"
A cold voice instantly escaped from Su Xiuyi's mouth.
The sword behind him vanished instantly, and when it reappeared, it had already collided with the giant hand formed by the Heavenly Dao.
Sizzle!
A powerful sword strike severed the massive arm.
"Swallow!"
Su Xiuyi hurriedly activated the power of the Devouring Word Spirit Character, and the next moment a huge vortex appeared, directly swallowing the severed arm.
This arm was formed from the power of the Heavenly Dao, containing the power of Heavenly Dao Heavenly Dao. Su Xiuyi would naturally not let go of the opportunity to obtain the power of the Heavenly Dao. After Su Xiuyi absorbed the power of the Heavenly Dao, she hurriedly sat cross-legged. With the infusion of the power of the Heavenly Dao, the speed of Su Xiuyi's destiny transformation became even faster.
The speed of transformation increased more than tenfold instantly.
Moreover, no cultivator has ever dared to devour the power of the Heavenly Dao, because before changing their fate, no one had received the Heavenly Dao Fortune like Su Xiuyi, and had developed an affinity with the Heavenly Dao.
After Su Xiuyi's destiny underwent a transformation, she became incomparably holy, and Su Xiuyi temperament changed, becoming even more ethereal.
At the same time, Su Xiuyi felt that her strength had undergone a tremendous change in an instant, as if a secret realm within her body was about to be opened.
Su Xiuyi knew that it was the power of the Grotto-Heaven within her body.
Su Xiuyi did not leave immediately, but instead took out the Grotto-Heaven Fragment, a reward she had received from signing in, and began to refine it rapidly.
After refining the three fragments of the Grotto-Heaven that she had received as a reward for signing in these past few days, Su Xiuyi's inner Grotto-Heaven finally stabilized. The Grotto-Heaven's terrifying devouring power erupted, and the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and earth was instantly devoured by Su Xiuyi.
Su Xiuyi's aura is changing.
" Grotto-Heaven... is this the power of Grotto-Heaven?"
Su Xiuyi felt the world-destroying power, and a smile appeared on her lips.
For an ordinary person, after Defying Heaven and Changing Fate, it would take at least several years to recover, but Su Xiuyi doesn't need to. Moreover, with the fragments of her Grotto-Heaven, stabilizing her Grotto-Heaven is extremely simple.
Inside the Great Zhou Emperor, Su Yun suddenly opened his eyes, his body trembling.
How is that possible?
Su Yun thought he was hallucinating, but he still summoned the Golden Dragon of Fortune of the Great Zhou. After the Golden Dragon of Fortune appeared, Su Yun did find that the Golden Dragon of Fortune of the Great Zhou had indeed transformed and become more solid.
"Why has the Golden Dragon of Fortune become stronger? Could it be that Su Xiuyi... he... he took that step Defying Heaven and Changing Fate!"
Thinking of this, Su Yun felt a surge of shock.
Su Xiuyi returned to the Demon God Grotto-Heaven.
"Whoosh!"
The Blood Dog moved like lightning, instantly landing in Su Xiuyi's arms.
He exclaimed excitedly, " Sage Su, have you succeeded in Defying Heaven and Changing Fate?"
At this moment, Blood Dog was incredibly excited.
"Well, I guess so!"
"Let's go find a powerful demon and have a spar!"
Su Xiuyi smiled, very happy, and went directly to the third floor. As Su Xiuyi arrived, the last great demon slowly appeared in the third floor. His demonic eyes were full of anger. They were great demons at the Grotto-Heaven Realm, but in recent days, they had all been suppressed by Su Xiuyi with a wave of her hand.
He secretly absorbed some of the essence of a powerful demon and decided to eliminate Su Xiuyi today.
" Su Xiuyi, today I'll play with you!"
A chilling smile crept across the great demon's lips. To avoid being discovered by Su Xiuyi, the other great demons carefully transferred their essence to him, taking a full three years to complete the process.
Amidst their anger, countless powerful demons held anticipation in their eyes, for if Su Xiuyi were to be killed today, it would be the day they were reborn.
"Um?"
"So proactive?"
"With your mere cultivation level of a Grotto-Heaven realm, you dare to challenge me to a duel? Aren't you a bit too confident? You think you can defeat me by absorbing this little bit of Power of Origin?"
At this moment, Su Xiuyi looked at the great demon in front of her and a smile appeared on her lips.
"Um?"
Upon hearing Su Xiuyi's words, the great demons were struck dumb, becoming extremely cautious in all their actions. However, Su Xiuyi had already noticed.
At this moment, he no longer concealed himself and directly unleashed his supernatural power, his enormous beast claw slapping towards Su Xiuyi.
However, faced with such a terrifying attack, Su Xiuyi's lips curled into a disdainful smile. With a casual punch, the enormous beast claw shattered instantly, and a rain of blood bloomed in the void.
This great demon was instantly severely injured in its very essence, its demonic eyes filled with terror. "You... you're at the Grotto-Heaven Realm? How is that possible?"
At this moment, the Demon Lord was completely dumbfounded.
The ten thousand demons prostrated themselves on the ground, their gazes towards Su Xiuyi filled with apprehension.
"Why not? It's been six years now. If we didn't have the strength, releasing you would only bring chaos to the world!" Su Xiuyi said calmly.
