The White-Robed Scholar, upon witnessing the appearance of the Golden Sacred Dragon and seeing through Su Xiuyi's strength, knew in his eyes that Su Xiuyi was doomed to die.
However, what he saw before him was completely unexpected.
Just how many tricks does this person have up their sleeve?
"Who is it again? Over the years, I've sent countless spies into the capital of the Great Zhou Imperial Capital, but I haven't received any information about him. He's too mysterious."
The White-Robed Scholar frowned, wanting to make a move, but sensing danger, he forcibly stopped himself from acting.
Ten Thousand Devils Hall, the Human Emperor Book in the White-Robed Scholar's hand trembled slightly. The spirit of the artifact was hinting to the White-Robed Scholar not to venture too far into the Great Zhou Imperial Capital. At that moment, the White-Robed Scholar suppressed his impulse to attack.
Today, though seemingly quiet, the world was in turmoil. The Golden Sacred Dragon was terrifyingly powerful, having reached the Thirty-Third Heaven of the Layered Tower Realm. Such a terrifying existence had reached the limit of the constraints of heaven and earth, but unexpectedly, it was suppressed by Su Xiuyi and directly refined into a pill.
Those forces that had previously disregarded the Great Zhou were now trembling slightly, their faces filled with fear and unease, showing extreme apprehension towards Su Xiuyi.
Thinking that he hadn't attacked Great Zhou, he felt a sense of relief.
Within the Demon God Mountain Range, an extremely powerful Demon God, his demonic eyes filled with terror, hurriedly withdrew his gaze.
How is that possible?
"How did he do that? Is he really a reincarnation of God?"
"His cultivation has increased so terrifyingly, and this person is too cunning, actually concealing his cultivation level in an attempt to lure powerful figures from all over the world into the Great Zhou Imperial Capital. It seems that he doesn't take anyone in the Human Realm seriously."
"We can't stay in this Human Realm. With him here, the Demon Race can't continue to develop." This Demon God looked wary. He knew there was another option: to submit. But the pride in his bloodline made him reject the idea. In the Demon God Mountain Range, the last great demon, led by the Demon God, disappeared into the Human Realm.
Inside the Myriad Text Academy, Su Xiuyi, dressed in white, stood with her hands behind her back, her brows slightly furrowed.
" Sage Su, what are you sighing about?"
Beside Su Xiuyi, the Blood Dog, having consumed the pill refined by the Golden Sacred Dragon, was now at the Thirteenth Heaven of the Layered Tower and was extremely excited. However, seeing Su Xiuyi frowning and looking puzzled, it hurriedly asked...
"Nothing?"
"It's just a bit of a pity." Su Xiuyi withdrew her gaze and stroked the Blood Dog in her arms.
"What's a pity?" Blood Dog still didn't understand and asked again.
However, the moment the Blood Dog's voice fell, the gates of the Myriad Text Academy slowly opened.
The gate, long neglected and dilapidated, looked as if it might collapse at any moment. The instant the gate opened, Su Yun, dressed in a dragon robe, walked in with a tense expression.
Su Yun quickly arrived at Su Xiuyi's location. When the Blood Dog saw Su Yun arrive, it realized that Su Xiuyi had summoned it and had something to tell it. It remained silent and quietly stayed in Su Xiuyi's arms, like a pet.
"Greetings, Shenghuang!"
Su Yun stopped a few meters behind Su Xiuyi, not daring to approach, and bowed respectfully. He showed no airs of an emperor, and Su Yun knew that Su Xiuyi was the guardian deity of the Great Zhou, a member of the royal family, and should be worshipped, not feared.
"They're here!"
Upon hearing Su Yun's words, Su Xiuyi slowly turned around, her gaze falling on Su Yun.
"Having consumed the pill refined by the Golden Sacred Dragon, your strength will increase rapidly in a short period of time. Your talent is indeed remarkable."
Su Xiuyi was somewhat surprised to sense Su Yun's presence.
After Su Xiuyi finished speaking, she stopped Su Yun's cultivation level and said, "I asked you to come here today because I have something to tell you."
"From now on, I will go into seclusion to focus on breaking through my cultivation level. I will not be distracted by taking care of the Great Zhou Imperial Clan. If I encounter someone I cannot overcome, I will retreat gracefully."
"Originally, I intended to bring powerful figures from various factions to the capital today, but they were far too cautious. Therefore, we only managed to slay the Golden Sacred Dragon. Slaying the Golden Sacred Dragon wasn't enough to deter the world. Perhaps some unexpected events will occur during my seclusion."
At this moment, Su Xiuyi spoke calmly.
"Um?"
However, upon hearing Su Xiuyi's words, Su Yun was instantly filled with horrified horror, his eyes wide with disbelief. Su Yun understood that Su Xiuyi had concealed her cultivation level today, yet Su Xiuyi had still managed to instantly kill the terrifying Golden Sacred Dragon, causing Su Yun's body to tremble uncontrollably.
At that moment, Su Yun's breathing became extremely rapid, and he said in shock, " Shenghuang, do you intend to go into seclusion in an attempt to break through the Layered Tower and step into the next realm?"
As Su Yun's voice fell, a look of terror appeared in the small eyes of the Blood Dog in Su Xiuyi's arms.
Startled by Su Yun's words, Blood Dog, who followed Su Xiuyi Su Xiuyi closely, understood her better than anyone else. Blood Dog knew that Su Xiuyi was not some ancient being; all her cultivation was self-taught. Currently, he couldn't see through Su Xiuyi and thought Su Xiuyi strength was around the Twentieth Heaven of the Layered Tower. However, he never expected that Su Xiuyi had already reached the peak of the Thirty-Third Heaven of the Layered Tower and was preparing to break through.
Under the expectant gazes of Su Yun of the Great Zhou Emperor and the Blood Dog, Su Xiuyi said calmly, "Indeed, I have reached the limit of the Layered Tower Realm, but in this All Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms, I am but an ant. Without breaking through the Layered Tower, I will feel no sense of security in this All Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms."
"I don't know how long this seclusion will last. It could be a month, a hundred years, or a thousand years!"
" The Great Zhou Dynasty can only rely on you."
Su Xiuyi stared at Su Yun, her expression serious.
" Your Shenghuang, as long as you succeed, the bloodline of my Great Zhou will not be severed. I am the Great Zhou Emperor, but it is only through your protection and help that this vast land has been preserved. I, Su Yun, swear to protect this vast land with my life."
" Su Yun also knows that your talent, Shenghuang, is unparalleled throughout the ages. You are the number one genius in this era. Su Yun believes that the Shenghuang will soon break through to the next realm," Great Zhou Emperor Su Yun of the Great Zhou Dynasty said firmly.
Because he believed in Su Xiuyi, even blindly so; in Su Yun's eyes, Su Xiuyi was an omnipotent being.
"Where in the world is there absolute Invincible? The Great Zhou Dynasty depends on you."
"I have divined that a great calamity is about to befall this world. The second Spiritual Qi Tide will arrive soon. At that time, most of those self-sealed forces will be unsealed, which will be very dangerous."
"However, I will make one more move before I go into seclusion."
"If they won't come, then I will go!" A cold smile appeared on Su Xiuyi's lips, and an extremely domineering aura instantly spread throughout the Myriad Text Academy.
