P. S.: This is a long chapter. Dear readers, starting tomorrow, we will resume updating with two long chapters each.
"Is it over?"
Su Xiuyi's Su Xiuyi strike was incredibly powerful, but very few people actually saw it. The rest only saw a horde of demons, blotting out the sky and radiating an aura of world-destroying might, vanish instantly, leaving behind streaks of sunlight.
These people felt as if they had walked on the edge of hell. Their bodies were still trembling slightly at that moment. After confirming that they had survived, they collapsed to the ground.
Some forces further away were completely bewildered, having no idea what was happening, but the scene that unfolded today instantly spread throughout the world.
Many people want to know what exactly happened in the Great Zhou Imperial Capital, but there are no answers.
At the Myriad Text Academy, Su Xiuyi's body slowly descended, holding the Blood Dog in his arms, stroking Blood Dog fur with one hand, as if the scene just now had nothing to do with him.
The palace where Su Xiuyi lived was now covered with a thick layer of dust. Countless cobwebs covered the eaves and windows, and everything here was dilapidated. Dry yellow grass grew in some corners.
Everywhere you look, there is only ruin.
Beside Su Xiuyi's body, a Spirit Character appeared: 'Pure'.
The power of the 'Clean' Spirit Character erupted, and the surrounding dust, weeds, and spider webs vanished instantly under its Spirit Character, as if countless people had carefully wiped the place clean.
After the Spirit Character power swept across, Su Xiuyi waved her hand, and the broken tiles on the palace were restored to their original state by a strange power.
The courtyard, which was dilapidated just a moment ago, has become brand new in the blink of an eye.
The withered grass and dry trees in the flowerpots suddenly burst forth with life the moment Su Xiuyi's other "Life" Spirit Character appeared.
The withered flowers and grass, which seemed destined to turn to ashes after a strong wind, have now burst forth with life, with leaves appearing and flowers blooming one after another.
The old trees that had withered and died are now slowly sprouting new branches, and green leaves are appearing on the branches.
Su Xiuyi took a deep breath, a smile appearing on her lips.
A tea table appeared in front of Su Xiuyi. The Blood Dog jumped onto the tea table and activated its demonic fire to boil water and brew tea.
Su Yun's figure appeared in front of the dilapidated Myriad Text Academy.
The tightly closed courtyard gate slowly opened on its own, even without any wind.
Su Yun's body flashed by, silently entering the Myriad Text Academy, where the dilapidated gate slowly closed.
Over the years, as the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Su Yun has ruled the world and has unconsciously cultivated a terrifying aura.
However, when Su Yun entered the courtyard and saw the figure sitting there basking in the sun in the distance, his eyes were filled with admiration, and his imposing demeanor vanished instantly.
Upon approaching, Su Yun immediately bowed and greeted the Crown Prince, " Su Yun pays respects to the Shenghuang!"
"Please sit down!"
Su Xiuyi waved her hand gently, and a chair appeared on the other side of the tea table. Upon seeing the chair, Su Yun's face immediately lit up with excitement. He had been here many times, but rarely had the opportunity to be invited by Su Xiuyi to sit down and have tea. At this moment, Su Yun felt flattered.
" Shenghuang Prince!"
Su Yun immediately bowed, showing utmost respect. While excited, he was extremely respectful to Su Xiuyi, daring not to offend her in the slightest.
Su Xiuyi is the pillar of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"You've come here, something must have happened, right?"
Blood Dog poured Su Xiuyi a cup of tea. Su Xiuyi looked at Su Yun and said calmly.
" Your Shenghuang, I have indeed come here on business. Although Your Shenghuang's sword strike has subdued all demons and restored peace to the world, preventing those powerful demons from causing trouble, according to some information I have received, this peace may not last long."
"According to the news brought back by the Night Watchers, some ancient clans will emerge when the first Spiritual Qi Tide arrives, and according to the prophecy left by His Majesty the Shenghuang Emperor, the Spiritual Qi Tide will arrive soon." Su Yun's voice fell, his face serious.
Su Xiuyi was somewhat surprised to hear this.
Su Xiuyi obtained the physical body of the Shenghuang, but she had no memory of the Shenghuang at all, because she was born after the Great Zhou Saint Emperor Su Xiuyi. Her teacher, Wang Lin, might know something, but he didn't explain anything when Wang Lin died, so Su Xiuyi really didn't know anything about the Su Shenghuang. However, the fact that he had calculated the time of the first Spiritual Qi revival a long time ago surprised Su Xiuyi greatly.
Clearly, Su Shenghuang's strength had reached an extremely terrifying level at that time.
At this moment, Su Xiuyi suddenly became interested in Su Shenghuang.
Su Xiuyi blew on the tea, took a sip, and looked at Su Yun, saying, "With me here, there is no crisis for the Great Zhou for the time being. Even with the arrival of the Spiritual Qi Tide and the revival of the ancient sects, there is no danger. Everything is under my protection."
"You need to do something for me now. I know nothing about my father. The royal family should have some records. Could you give them to me?"
Upon hearing Su Xiuyi's words, Su Yun immediately replied, " Your Shenghuang, Su Shenghuang is the spiritual pillar of our lineage. We have always kept certain things for him, and I will go and retrieve them immediately."
Su Yun stood up and hurriedly left. Not long after, Su Yun returned.
At this moment, Su Yun was carrying a box.
They also brought some documents.
" Your Shenghuang, there are some seals on this box left by Wang Lin. He said that only the blood of the Shenghuang's Crown Prince can break the seals. The rest are records of the Shenghuang's departure." After giving these instructions, Su Yun carefully left, not daring to disturb Su Xiuyi any further.
"Did you leave behind?"
Su Xiuyi immediately became interested, and the Blood Dog also widened its eyes, staring at the box in front of it.
Su Xiuyi tried to force it open, but to Su Xiuyi utter surprise...
"Um?"
"My strength has surpassed the current limits of heaven and earth, reaching the limit of the Grotto-Heaven Realm, yet I cannot budge it in the slightest!"
After her attempts failed, a look of surprise appeared on Su Xiuyi's face.
Then, all that could be done was to drip a single drop of blood onto the box.
The moment the blood fell onto the box, lines appeared on its surface, and the seal was quickly broken. Su Xiuyi opened the box and found some books inside, which appeared to be manuscripts.
Su Xiuyi picked up the manuscripts and began to examine them.
After reading it, Su Xiuyi turned solemn.
"This cheapskate father is actually the reincarnation of a powerful being. No wonder he was able to leave this world before the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi had recovered."
"But is he still alive now?"
Su Xiuyi frowned slightly, because according to the contents of the manuscript, the reason why Su Shenghuang left was not because he wanted to leave, but because he discovered the traces of his opponent and had no choice but to leave.
Su Xiuyi put down the manuscript and picked up the other manuscripts in the box to look through them. After reading them, a complicated expression appeared on Su Xiuyi's face.
"They actually left me countless escape routes, but I doubt they anticipated what would happen next."
"As expected of the reincarnation of a powerful being, he possesses such profound insight into every realm. It turns out that I have not yet fully reached the limit of the Grotto-Heaven Realm."
"The limit of the Grotto-Heaven Realm is actually the merging of the nine Grotto-Heaven into one."
After reading the manuscript, Su Xiuyi's eyes gleamed with surprise.
Su Xiuyi had always practiced cultivation by signing in daily, and she wasn't very clear about the different cultivation levels.
" Sage Su, the Extreme Realm of the Grotto-Heaven Realm is actually the merging of nine Grotto-Heaven into one. The Spiritual Qi Tide is about to arrive. Is it still possible to catch up?"
"According to the records, to unify the nine great Grotto-Heaven, we must find a complete core crystal of the Grotto-Heaven. But where can we find a core Grotto-Heaven now?"
The Blood Dog in Su Xiuyi's arms couldn't help but ask at this moment.
"Don't we have the complete core of the Grotto-Heaven?" However, Su Xiuyi showed no worry at this moment, and a smile appeared on her lips.
Do we have them?
"Where?"
At this moment, Blood Dog looked completely bewildered.
" The Demon God Grotto-Heaven is actually formed from a complete core of Grotto-Heaven. I thought it might be useless before, but it turns out it has great uses."
The next moment, Su Xiuyi appeared in the Demon God Grotto-Heaven.
Her expression turned extremely solemn. At this moment, Su Xiuyi exerted all her magical Dharma Power to suppress the Demon God Grotto-Heaven. Soon, the Demon God Grotto-Heaven turned into a crystal in Su Xiuyi's hand.
However, at this moment, a huge hole appeared in the original location of the Demon God Grotto-Heaven, and this hole seemed to lead to the Land of Nine Netherworlds.
At this moment, Su Xiuyi frowned slightly.
[bite!]
[You can check in here. Would you like to check in now?]
As Su Xiuyi frowned, the system's mechanical voice rang in Su Xiuyi mind.
"I can even check in here? What kind of place is this?"
At this moment, a solemn look appeared in Su Xiuyi's eyes. She was extremely wary of this place, even though Su Xiuyi was incredibly powerful.
"Check-in!"
However, Su Xiuyi didn't hesitate at all and decided to sign in first.
[bite!]
[Successfully checked in at the Ancient Tomb. The reward is a Holy Buddha Sarira. Refining the relic will grant you Body Impervious to All Dharmas.]
At this moment, Su Xiuyi held a Holy Buddha Sarira in her hand.
" Sage Su, I feel so scared here."
The Blood Dog in Su Xiuyi's arms stared at the enormous abyss before it, its demonic eyes filled with terror.
"This place definitely feels dangerous. Let's seal it off first, just in case something unexpected happens."
Su Xiuyi dared not be careless and immediately activated her Spirit Character to seal the place. Of course, if he wanted to enter, it would be very simple.
However, Su Xiuyi dared not go deeper at this moment. Su Xiuyi planned to improve her strength and merge the nine great Grotto-Heaven before going down to explore.
The world was quiet, and Su Xiuyi in the Myriad Text Academy was also very quiet as she began to refine the complete core of the Grotto-Heaven.
As time continued to pass, a great demon at the Ten Thousand Venerable Grotto-Heaven Realm emerged, accelerating the revival of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi once again.
A figure landed on a vast sea.
"Brother Silver Dragon, come out and greet me!"
As the man's voice faded, a whirlpool appeared in the sea, and within that whirlpool emerged a gigantic dragon horn and a Silver Dragon's head, rising above the ocean.
What is it?
The Silver Dragon King looked at the figure before him and said calmly.
"Brother Silver Dragon, the first Spiritual Qi Tide is approaching. Our strength will soon reach the Layered Tower Realm. When that time comes, would Silver Dragon be willing to join me in storming the Great Zhou Imperial Capital and killing that man? What's the point of our cultivation if we don't avenge the humiliation of the past ten years?"
The figure looked towards the direction of the Great Zhou Imperial Capital, his face filled with anger.
"Sorry, I'm not interested!"
No need to see me off!
Upon hearing this, a hint of apprehension appeared in the Silver Dragon King's demonic eyes. Without hesitation, he refused the other party, and his massive dragon body once again submerged into the sea.
"You······"
The figure, seeing the Silver Dragon King disappear, was filled with rage.
With a cold snort, it soared into the Space Breaking.
In the Demon God Mountain Range, several returning Demon God have now recovered their strength, reaching the peak of the Grotto-Heaven Realm. One by one, they have emerged from seclusion.
Knowing that several Demon God had emerged from seclusion, the Void Beast transformed into the appearance of a middle-aged man and went to pay its respects.
Upon entering the main hall, the Void Beast immediately knelt down.
" Void Beast, pays respects to the Demon God Demon God. Now that you have regained your strength, we beg you to uphold Demon God for us. For years, we have been suppressed by the Human Race. We implore you to take Demon God and annihilate the Human Race."
Upon hearing the Void Beast's words, the Demon God frowned but remained silent.
Seeing that the Demon God did not answer, the Void Beast wanted to continue speaking, but was interrupted by one of the Demon God.
" Demon Race, let's lie low for now. Although we've recovered to the peak of the Grotto-Heaven Realm, even if we join forces, we're probably no match for anyone."
This Demon God didn't hide anything, and said solemnly.
"What?"
" Demon God, how is this possible? Your strength is at the limit of the Grotto-Heaven Realm. Could it be that even if you joined forces, you still couldn't defeat him?" The Void Beast asked incredulously.
The other Demon God, his expression icy, retorted, "What do you know? That person is extremely mysterious, seemingly possessing a secret technique to suppress our Demon Race, capable of compressing our strength by several degrees. We are currently at the limit of the Grotto-Heaven Realm, but that won't be the case when we encounter him."
"Otherwise, do you really think he was capable of suppressing us back then, given that he was merely a Saint Realm?"
As the cold voice fell, the Void Beast's body trembled slightly, its face filled with despair. If the other party truly possessed such a secret technique, wouldn't the Demon Race be doomed?
The other party didn't give the Void Beast a chance to speak at all, coldly saying, "Pass down the order: we will withdraw from the Human Realm and go to the outer realms to establish new domains."
As the Demon Race quietly departed, Su Xiuyi, inside the Myriad Text Academy, slowly opened her eyes.
At this moment, Su Xiuyi finally refined the core crystal of the Grotto-Heaven, raising her cultivation level to the true limit of the Grotto-Heaven.
"Boom!"
At that moment, a Lei Ming sound echoed in the void. When Su Xiuyi looked up, she found that the Spirit of the Heavenly Dao had awakened and slowly opened its eyes, clearly noticing her abnormality.
At this moment, Su Xiuyi's expression changed.
To defy the Heavenly Dao is tantamount to courting death.
Immediately, Spirit Character appeared around Su Xiuyi: 'Conceal, Hide, Deceive, Hide, Seal'.
The Spirit Character's power enveloped her in an instant, quickly concealing Su Xiuyi's aura of the Grotto-Heaven Extreme Realm.
"Um?"
Am I misinterpreting things?
The Spirit of the Heavenly Dao shook its head and fell into slumber once more.
At this moment, countless beads of sweat appeared on Su Xiuyi's forehead. He had indeed been startled just now. According to records, the Heavenly Dao would not tolerate the Extreme Realm.
"Call!"
"I was careless!"
"Be more careful from now on; being targeted by Heavenly Dao is never a good thing!"
"I've finally reached the Grotto-Heaven Extreme Realm! My strength has increased tenfold! Now it's time to venture into the abyss and explore its depths!" A smile appeared on Su Xiuyi's lips.
