Previously, Su Yu used the Source Heavenly Patterns, which alarmed the Stone King. Many people thought that the Stone King was here and wanted to try their luck by bidding for the Source Stone here. Even Source Arts Masters such as Ouyang Ye and Nangong Qi were no exception.
The Stone King possesses a spirit, enabling it to evade their Source Arts and supernatural powers. Facing the Stone King, they are no different from other cultivators, and can only rely on their luck.
However, these people lacked luck. They didn't even see a trace of Divine Source despite having hundreds of Source Stone. Although these Source Stone were not expensive, they added up to nearly a million source stones.
No wonder Ji Tianyao was overjoyed before leaving. With the longevity elixir and the stone workshop's achievements, he might be entrusted with an important task during this trip to the Southern Region, taking over the Ji Family's power of punishment and becoming one of the top five figures in the Ji Family. Moreover, he would also be able to reunite with his Daoist partner.
Only a few elders of the Ji Family guarded the vast stone garden. The Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family retreated to the exit of the Heaven-Class Stone Garden, summoned a crimson divine sword, and exuded profound Void principles. His vast divine sense transformed into a crystal-clear light curtain, covering the entire island.
The Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family stood in the sky and said loudly, " Elder Cao! Rest assured in your search for the Stone King, I will take care of everything."
The sound echoed throughout the stone garden, stirring a thought in Ji Ziyue's heart.
The legendary Stone King!
Little Moon gently ground her canine teeth, feeling quite tempted. However, because of Su Yu, she dared not approach that area and couldn't help but inwardly curse Ji Haoyue.
"That big idiot, he's gone mad from forging swords and demons. He just arrived in the Northern Region and he's already gone into seclusion."
Just as she was pondering whether or not to go, several elderly people walked together toward Su Yu. Ji Ziyue made up her mind and quietly followed behind them.
Although Cao Yusheng is terrifying, the Stone King is a once-in-a-millennium phenomenon, and it's even one's own family's stone archway. If this opportunity is missed, there may not be another chance.
Chapter 211 Suppression by the Demon Jar
At this moment, in the Stone Garden, Su Yu walked around the area in front of him, began to carve in this area, condensed the Source Heavenly Patterns, and combined the Earth Observation Technique and the Qi Observation Technique to deduce the location of the Stone King.
His body was enveloped in a surge of dragon energy, radiating a terrifying aura that captivated the soul. The aura of the First Heaven of the Immortal Platform was not concealed in the slightest, permeating the entire region.
The overwhelming pressure swept across the sky, causing the expressions of several Dragon Transformation Elders to change drastically. They grabbed Ji Ziyue and retreated to the back, while Ji Ziyue stared wide-eyed as specks of blue light rained in her Bitter Sea, beginning to sense the changes ahead.
The sky was filled with radiant light, Zixia soared into the heavens, turning all the Source Stone purple, creating an incredibly dreamlike and dazzling scene.
Su Yuhua transformed and disappeared into the purple light. The dense Source Heavenly Patterns intertwined and changed drastically on the ground, even affecting the dragon energy in the surrounding Source Stone. It exuded a rich Life essence, surrounded by clouds and mist, almost like a fairyland.
Several elderly people looked on with admiration and praised him repeatedly.
"As expected of a successor to the Source Heavenly Master, look at that dragon energy! This Source Arts is practically comparable to a killing technique!"
" Ziyue, Heavenly Master Cao is the number one young talent in the Eastern Wasteland. You must seize this opportunity!"
" The Desolate Ancient Sacred Body is impossible to cultivate. Ziyue, don't be fooled by that rogue cultivator."
Upon hearing her elders' earnest advice to bring them together, Ji Ziyue's previously poised head immediately drooped, her thin eyebrows furrowed tightly, and she looked extremely distressed.
Due to the involvement of Ji Biyue and the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family, Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue's escape journey was different from the original one. They encountered the pursuit of Elder Dragon Transformation. If it weren't for that Purple Jade Gourd, the two might have already perished.
Moreover, a powerful cultivator from the Immortal Platform Secret Realm appeared afterward, just as the Void Great Hand Seal was about to strike them.
At the critical moment, the Bronze Immortal Palace tore through the Void, startling the Immortal Platform cultivator away.
Even so, Ye Fan's identity was still exposed. The Ji Family even found out all his origins: Ye Fan, the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body of Spirit Ruins Paradise.
Her story with Ye Fan has become a sensation throughout the Southern Region and has even reached the Central Province. The story of a princess in distress and a wandering cultivator struggling to cultivate has inspired countless love stories.
That's why everyone in the Ji Family knew about it!
Her reputation was half ruined, and she even passed on the Void Great Hand Seal to Ye Fan, the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, committing a grave mistake. Her status was greatly diminished, and she was imprisoned by Ji Yanzhi. Even the ancestor could not protect her.
The sixth son of the Ji Family even personally went to capture the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, forcing Ye Fan into the eighth level of the Fire Domain.
Ji Biyue's faction wanted to kill her, and Ye Fan risked his life to save her along the way, even having his Dragon Transformation forbidden artifact shattered, yet he ended up in such a state.
She wronged Ye Fan!
Because of this, she missed Ye Fan even more.
After her confinement ended, when she learned that her father and grandfather wanted to marry her off to Cao Yusheng, she resisted fiercely, partly because of Cao Yusheng's Ruthless One Lineage, and partly because...
There was no reason, just an instinctive resistance; perhaps a shadow already lingered in her mind.
Then, in a fit of pique, she ran away, but before she even left the ancestral land, she was caught and brought back by the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family.
If it weren't for the Eighth Elder of the Ji Family showing mercy and not informing others, she doesn't know how long she would have been imprisoned.
They had finally waited for Ji Haoyue to arrive in the Northern Region, but they didn't expect the pressure to get married here to be even stronger than in the Southern Region.
The Holy City cultivators' high regard for Cao Yusheng exceeded Ji Ziyue's expectations.
Enduring the pressure from her elders to get married, Ji Ziyue tilted her head and began her traditional act: you say yours, I'll watch mine.
In the Heaven-Class Stone Garden, Su Yu continued to Source Heavenly Divine Technique, his entire body enveloped in a deep purple light, like Immortal King descending to earth. The strange stones in the garden all radiated auspicious colors and divine brilliance, all trembling as if about to soar into the sky.
The various strange phenomena left the group in awe, and even Ji Ziyue stared in surprise at these wondrous sights.
At the bottom of the lake, Su Yu's fingers caressed the heartwood of the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree. Chaos energy swirled around him, and he directly entered the realm of oneness with heaven and man, where all the myriad paths merged. In an instant, he seemed to transform into this lake, able to sense everything within it.
However, this time it failed; he could not sense the Stone King.
Su Yu closed his eyes, frowned slightly, and had a guess in his mind.
"Is it because I was born a saint? The Saint Dao Laws interfered with my Chaos Body, but I sensed it yesterday as well."
Three breaths later, he opened his eyes, the sword mark between his brows moved, his forehead glowed slightly, and the Chaos primordial spirit in the Immortal Platform held the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar, radiating a faint dark light and flowing with Chaos energy.
Protected by the Ultimate Dao Laws, his divine sense instantly became much clearer, and he sensed that vast aura once again.
The bottom of the lake was also a world of its own, with fresh aquatic plants, clear water, and fish, insects, and plants swimming around. Su Yu strolled through it, walking in one direction.
He wouldn't have come if it weren't for the Bronze Ring and the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar.
Since the right time, place, and people are all in place, and Heaven has bestowed this upon us, if we do not accept it, we will suffer the consequences!
So, he came!
Soon, he arrived in front of a huge rock.
This stone is grayish-brown and unremarkable. It has many cracks and looks like it's about to fall apart. There are even hollow holes that are transparent from front to back. Anyone would consider it a worthless stone and that it's impossible for it to contain any precious treasures.
That is why the Ji Family placed it in the lake, treating it as a river stone.
Dao patterns flowed in Su Yu's eyes, and Chaos divine power surged out like a tide. The Devouring Heaven Demon Jar flew out from the Immortal Platform, floated above his head, and cast down strands of dark light, enveloping him. His aura was extremely profound, like that of a god.
Under his control, the imperial aura only covered this area and did not spill out.
Seemingly sensing the aura of the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar, the stone revealed a primordial energy, with wisps of Chaos Chaos spreading out, making the place appear mysterious and unpredictable.
Su Yu looked with his Chaos Heavenly Eye, but this time the usually effective eye failed him.
There seemed to be a wisp of Immortal Qi within the stone, enveloping something that, no matter how brightly he looked, he couldn't penetrate it or see it clearly.
Su Yu channeled his divine power into the Emperor Weapon and activated the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar.
"Buzz!"
The Devouring Heaven Demon Jar swayed slightly, emitting thousands of wisps of Chaos energy. Four supreme divine chains flew out, engraved with dense, mysterious patterns, and fell down like dark phoenix feathers, sealing the Stone King.
Then the lid flew off, and a beam of Chaos Divine Light shot out from the body of the jar, attempting to grab the Stone King inside.
The Stone King trembled violently, trying to break free from the Emperor's Qi and release more Chaos energy. However, the Supreme Dao Might was immeasurable, and no matter how much it shook, it could not escape.
"Boom!"
Chaos surged and suddenly exploded, as if a world had been cleaved in two. Yet everything was confined to a radius of one meter. The Devouring Heaven Demon Jar suppressed everything, and the Chaos Divine Light seized the Stone King, taking it into the jar.
"Bite!"
With a crisp click of the lid closing, the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar merged into one, and the whole world fell silent.
Then the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar flew back to Su Yu's Immortal Platform!
Su Yu stretched his body, somewhat moved, as the smoothness of the matter was beyond his expectations.
He had previously thought it would be very troublesome, as the incarnations outside and the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family were all prepared for the Stone Garden uprising!
However, none of these preparations were needed.
Limited by his stone body, and because it is not yet time for the birth of the Divine Child, his holy power has not been fully unleashed.
With the Supreme Dao Might of the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar, it's perfectly normal that it was so easy.
Chapter 212 Intent Moves Purple Mountain [Fourth Update]
On the island, a brilliant purple light shone, clouds and mist billowed, and hundreds of Source Stone trembled violently, conjuring up wondrous scenes that painted the stone garden with dazzling colors and auspicious hues, everything displaying a dreamlike luster, colorful and radiant.
This strange spectacle lasted for a quarter of an hour, but the Stone King never showed itself, so Su Yu had no choice but to stop.
He apologized to the Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family, admitting that his Source Arts were not proficient enough and that the Stone King might have surpassed the level of Holy Lord, making it beyond his ability to find.
The Eighth Ancestor of the Ji Family and the other elders offered kind words of comfort, and then very consciously withdrew from the stone garden, leaving this world to Su Yu and Ji Ziyue.
As the last old man left, the Stone Garden fell silent; Su Yu could even hear Little Moon's heartbeat.
However, he didn't say anything, merely glanced at Ji Ziyue, then turned and prepared to leave.
Ji Ziyue was a little nervous. Now that the two of them were alone in the stone garden, she could feel Su Yu's terrifying nature even more.
Her subconscious told her that Su Yu's slightly thin body contained terrifying divine power, his magical power was as deep as an abyss, unfathomable, like a lurking god, ready to unleash earth-shattering combat power at any time.
" Heavenly Master Cao, you... Ye Fan has been chased to the Fire Domain by Sixth Grandfather, can you save him?!"
After making her request, Ji Ziyue's gaze was somewhat evasive. She was unaware of the relationship between Su Yu and Ye Fan. During their escape, Ye Fan had not revealed anything about Su Yu.
However, when the three of them were in the Bronze Immortal Palace, Su Yu did take good care of Ye Fan, and it was because of this that Ji Ziyue dared to ask Su Yu for help.
Upon hearing this, Su Yu stopped in his tracks, smiled, and said, "Even if the Ji Family's patriarch personally intervenes, Ye Fan won't die. You should worry about the sixth son of the Ji Family."
After he finished speaking, his figure darkened, purple light flowed, and he disappeared into the divine island, leaving Ji Ziyue alone in astonishment.
She said absentmindedly, "Worried about Sixth Grandfather? How could that be! Does that little thief Ye have such a powerful background?"
She then recalled the Bronze Immortal Palace that had appeared from the earth's veins when they had encountered danger before.
Perhaps Ye Fan really does have some special identity.
Thinking of this, her worries about Ye Fan lessened considerably. Her eyes brightened, revealing her little tiger teeth, sparkling and regaining their usual playfulness and wit, making her appear very lively.
However, the thought of her sixth grandfather being in danger made her frown again...
Su Yu, hidden in the Void, looked down at the Ji Family Stone Workshop. Three thousand strands of Chaos energy swirled around him, his gaze was incredibly deep, and a trace of dark light emanated from the sword mark between his brows. This was a kind of vastness, and at the same time, it carried the power of Dao of Devouring patterns, endless vicissitudes, and endless power.
During this trip to the Holy City of the Northern Region, he acquired both the Divine Silkworm and the Divine Child!
It's just a pity about the Jade Lake Saintess.
