Su Yu, who was originally about to make a move, stopped his sword technique when he saw the seven-colored halo and did not kill.
As the owner of the Kirin Immortal Medicine, Su Yu had some understanding of auspicious energy.
The auspicious energy flowing from this crane is not innate, but acquired, formed by the pure thoughts of all living beings, through its influence on the region.
This auspicious energy is extremely rare; it cannot be simply accumulated through the Power of Faith, but involves a deeper level of transformation.
To generate such auspicious energy, one must at least educate the mortals of a region. In Su Yu's entire cultivation career, he has only ever seen one such being.
After all, cultivators are high above, so how can they go out of their way for the weak mortals? Those who care about all living beings are ultimately a minority. If they are like moths drawn to a flame, although they are powerless, they are still touching!
Just like in the original timeline, Jiang Taixu, Ji Zi, Shennong, Yellow Emperor, and Ye Fan rushed into the Dark Turmoil.
Deep down, Su Yu wasn't that kind of person; he wasn't that great. However, he still held those who went against the tide in his heart!
"Killing someone who has performed such great deeds is an omen of misfortune!"
Thinking of this, Su Yu fluttered slightly, his Immortal Sword gleamed, and he unleashed a deadly sword aura from afar.
"Buzz!"
The sky was hazy and Chaos, with swords flashing across the Void. The sound of swords clashing was incessant. A law of order condensed into a sword light, its radiance dazzlingly bright. It pierced through Eternal, turning countless water droplets into dark ashes, and slashed towards a certain point.
This aura is enough to annihilate Half-Saint; no one but Saint can stop it!
" White Feather King!"
The crowd was unsure whether to be shocked or relieved. The sword energy was incredibly powerful, yet it didn't strike them; instead, it rushed towards the direction where Daoist White Feather had gone.
The sword energy shone brightly, like a divine blade slashing down, its clang deafening. Everyone was terrified; let alone experiencing it firsthand, just sensing the fluctuations was enough to send chills down their spines.
Even the several kings Severing the Dao were trembling. As fellow Third Heaven of the Immortal Platform, they were like heaven and earth compared to this person undergoing tribulation, with no room for resistance whatsoever.
Looking at the Chaos ribbon falling from the sky, the crane with pure white wings and auspicious energy cried out, as if it could sense its own future.
The sword light struck down, but it did not cause a huge upheaval. The original Chaos Dao patterns revealed a gap, with calm blue waves outside and raging waves inside, a scene of apocalypse. Two completely different scenes appeared in one place.
Gazing at the vermilion-purple line at the boundary, Bai He's eyes gleamed with a sharp light, and his eyes sparkled with auspicious light as he discerned a trace of the path contained within it.
These patterns are incredibly profound. Even a cursory glance at them has greatly benefited him, and the bottleneck that had bound him for thousands of years has begun to loosen.
Daoist White Feather suppressed his reluctance and prepared to fly away into the distance. He was already extremely lucky to Undying this time, so how could he dare to hope for the opportunity to obtain the ancient scripture?
Just as he stood at the intersection of the red and purple lines, a crazy thought suddenly arose in his Crane Immortal Platform, and immediately took root, filling his entire soul in an instant, and refusing to leave!
This is a Divine Prohibition King of an Imperial Clan, and the other party seems to have goodwill towards me.
Even if I escape today, I will surely die within three years. If I turn back, I might be able to defy fate and go further on this path of cultivation.
He wanted to take a gamble...
After releasing the meritorious cultivator, Su Yu took a step forward, Shrinking the Earth into Inches, and appeared in front of the group of cultivators. With a wave of his sleeve, he removed the Void Dao patterns from their bodies.
Seeing the great cultivator surrounded by Immortal Qi and the pure aura of his divine power, many cultivators felt a sense of relief, as if they had just escaped death.
A lot can be learned from the scriptures that cultivators practice. For example, the cultivation techniques of the great demon of Hezhou and the heavenly demon of the Northern Region both involve killing and blood tempering. Those cultivators who practice demon scriptures and demonic arts will also be affected by the techniques and become more and more bloodthirsty.
After gaining their freedom, many people turned their attention to the eldest son of the Lord of Yuanqiao Island, since he was the only one who had broken the Void Immobilization Art without authorization.
The purple-haired Holy Lord was the most terrified person at this moment, as if he were being watched by an ancient ferocious beast. His whole body was trembling, and he was about to collapse under Su Yu's aura, which was as deep as the ocean.
However, being from a celestial island, the purple-haired middle-aged man recited a calming mantra, then bowed deeply and respectfully said, "Greetings, Saint Senior!"
The other cultivators from the East Sea also bowed and shouted "Saint!"
In the Dharma Ending Age, no matter where the Life Source Land, Saint are a minority standing at the pinnacle of the spiritual realm, and there is a completely different world between those below the Saint.
Once one becomes a saint, one will be high above! One can speak with only combat power, which can be said to be beyond the realm of humanity. One can regard those who Severing the Dao as ants and look down on all living beings.
" Saint..." Su Yu's lips curled slightly, neither confirming nor denying.
Given his current state, calling him a Saint wouldn't be an exaggeration. If a few more Ancient Saint were to be summoned, he might be able to reach the end of the Severing the Dao Realm.
Looking down at the assembled Great Power and King, Su Yu said calmly, "How many Saint exist in this sea area? I need the real information!"
"Your Saint, the Eastern Sea is boundless, but the Saint is elusive and nowhere to be found. The only ones we know are the Saint Cang of Yuanjiao Island and the Saint Li of the East Sea Dragon Palace," the old man in a purple-gold Daoist robe stepped forward and said respectfully.
"Are there only two, Saint Cang Saint Li?"
Su Yu's gaze swept across the vast sea, his body shrouded in Chaos energy, exuding an otherworldly aura.
This information was different from what he had obtained from the lords of the Dragon Palace.
Not far away, auspicious clouds of seven colors filled the air, and a pure white crane flew in, transforming into an old man dressed in feathered robes amidst the celestial light.
Everyone was incredibly surprised to see the White Feather King return. Why would he choose such a perilous path when there was no way to survive?
Daoist White Feather remained calm and bowed, saying, "Senior, seven hundred years ago, I saw a Daiyu Immortal Island, where dozens of cultivators lived. Only ancient sages could refine the essence of Daiyu and Yuanjiao Immortal Islands."
" Daiyu? One of the legendary Five Mountains? I didn't expect there to be a legend of a fairy island here." Su Yu chuckled lightly, remaining silent, and waved his hand, signaling Daoist White Feather to continue.
As he drew nearer to this Saint, White Feather King felt an increasing sense of peace and tranquility, prompting him to marvel at the saintly nature of the sage and to continue recounting the deeds of Ziwei:
"Besides the Eastern Sea, at the far end of the Western Sea, there is an ancient demon of unparalleled power. Four thousand years ago, that ancient demon ravaged half of the Western Godaniya and was eventually suppressed by the Hezhou Cultivators' Alliance."
" The Saint Kunji Yuan of the North Sea has not appeared for thousands of years, and his whereabouts are unknown. There is also an ancient being among the Merfolk Tribe of the Dustless Sea in the South Sea who has turned the Southern Sea Eye into a forbidden area, and no one dares to enter without permission. This is a well-known fact in the seas!"
"As for the four continents, aside from the profound heritage of each Immortal of the Foreign Realm lineage, a strange event occurred in the Northern Kuru Reed Continent eight hundred years ago. At that time, the Heavenly River Mouth, which runs through Luzhou, turned into quicksand in a single day. I once went to the old site and sensed the remaining Dao patterns on the inscriptions. It is highly likely that this was caused by the intervention of Saint..."
"For thousands of years, there have been no traces of Saint in the Eastern Divine Continent and the Western Godaniya, while there are many rumors of Saint in the Southern Jambudvipa. However, most of them are just the imaginations of juniors in the Dao Palace and the Four Extremes, and their authenticity is questionable."
Daoist White Feather spoke in a calm tone, slowly recounting the events of the Zhouming Continent over the past three thousand years. Even today, only an old man like him, who has experienced so much of the past, knows so many ancient secrets.
All the cultivators listened intently. Although the words were few, they contained the highest secrets of the Ziwei Ancient Star Domain, involving ancient sages.
After hearing everything, Su Yu glanced at the boundless sea and exclaimed, "As expected of an imperial star, it is teeming with Saint King!"
Some of the things that Daoist White Feather said he knew, and some he didn't even know the three Dragon Kings, so they were of some use to him.
It seems we need to plan ahead for using Immortal Gold as bait. Directly attacking the holy land will inevitably lead to encounters with Great Saint array patterns or even Quasi-Emperor array patterns. It would be better to lure out these Great Accomplishment King and Ancient Saint.
Suddenly, a young cultivator stepped out from the crowd. He was handsome, dressed in white, and looked very heroic. He knelt down and performed a deep bow, saying, "Senior, there are people from Yuanjiao Immortal Island here!"
"The place where that Saint Cang resides?"
Su Yu's gaze shifted slightly as he looked at the purple-haired Holy Lord. After all, this was the only person who had broken his Immobilization Technique, and must be a disciple or descendant of Saint.
Sensing Su Yu's gaze, the purple-haired middle-aged man's spirit tightened, and his breathing quickened. He said in a deep voice, "My father is the Lord of Yuanqiao Island."
"Why are you so nervous? I'm not going to eat you!" Su Yu said in a low voice, his gaze deep.
He then waved his sleeve, gathering the Eastern Sea cultivators into his robes. With a flick of his finger, he bestowed a scroll of Saint scriptures upon Daoist White Feather before drifting away.
"Senior!"
Suddenly, a hint of determination flashed in the eyes of the ethereal White Feather King. Holding the purple jade divine tablet, he knelt down.
Su Yu turned around, his eyes filled with nebulae, golden Dao tracks drifting aimlessly, boundless and vast. He said slowly, "Actually, you know I'm only at the eighth small step of the third Third Heaven of the Immortal Platform. Senior, it's best not to repeat your words."
"If I could serve my benefactor, holding his whip and pulling his stirrups, and follow him to repay his life-saving grace, it would be the greatest fortune of all!" Daoist White Feather bowed again, his expression earnest.
Su Yu turned around, his gaze sharp as lightning, fixed on White Feather King as if trying to tear open his heart, and said coldly, "Do you Dao Self come from the Big Dipper Star Domain? Is what I've done this time for the Extreme Dao Scripture?"
"Having drifted through life as a humble rogue cultivator, I have now reached this point. With no hope of attaining sainthood, I see a glimmer of hope. How can I not fight with all my might, even if I die, I will have no regrets?" The Feathered Daoist said respectfully, making no attempt to hide his longing for ancient scriptures and divine arts.
Daoist White Feather raised his head and said softly, "When you first arrived in Ziwei, you dominated an entire continent. Now you have set foot in the Eastern Sea. Do you know why the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas have all come out? Dragon-Gathering Bell, all the dragon Dragon Clan of the Four Seas were summoned by Saint Li. Moreover, the East Sea Dragon Palace has connected with various Immortal of the Foreign Realm forces and it is said that they have already borrowed a Quasi-Emperor Artifact. You must be cautious, my benefactor."
" Quasi-Emperor Artifact? Which force was responsible?" Su Yu frowned slightly and asked.
Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon absolutely crush Great Saint Weapon and Saint Weapon, but Quasi-Emperor have the word "Emperor" attached to them. If the difference in cultivation between the Weapon Master is too great, the weapon master can block the Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon.
Daoist White Feather bowed again, his attitude sincere, and said, "In the past few days, the East Sea Dragon Palace and the various sects in Luzhou have been in close contact. The holy places that lent out the Quasi-Emperor Artifact are none other than the Longevity Temple in Nether Ridge and Heavenly Wolf Mountain in Luzhou. There is no enmity between the Immortal of the Foreign Realm lineages and benefactors who possess the Quasi-Emperor Weapon."
" The Longevity Temple, what a magnificent Longevity Ancient Daoist Temple!" The stars in Su Yu's eyes collapsed, his gaze became extremely ethereal, and strands of killing intent flowed out, almost causing the collapse of tens of thousands of miles of sea.
He looked at the Daoist White Feather, waved his wide sleeves, and summoned a Chaos Dao Seal. In an instant, the Great Dao roared, lotus charm arose, and countless rays of light swirled and changed, intertwining in this place. His expression was incomparable.
This is a wisp of primordial Chaos energy imbued by Su Yu with the " Source of the Dao," containing three thousand Dao principles, equivalent to version 0.000001 of the Heavenly Heart Imprint, which can be considered a treasure for cultivators who Severing the Dao.
Su Yu's gaze shifted slightly, and the Chaos energy around him gradually subsided, revealing his figure. With the azure blue waves behind him and the sun high in the sky, he had a peaceful expression, his black hair flowing down his shoulders, and his sword-like eyebrows shining brightly, radiating ray of divine light, just like a deity.
Divine Rainbow shone brightly, and the rosy light blazed freely. Su Yu said solemnly, "The path lies ahead. What will you choose?"
Feeling the rich Daoist aura, Daoist White Feather couldn't help but tremble slightly. He was not a dull person; to become Great Accomplishment King as a rogue cultivator was definitely due to his exceptional talent.
However, his life was full of hardships. Born in the Southern Jambudvipa, where spiritual energy was almost extinct, he was a prince of a mortal kingdom. He practiced martial arts in his youth and only began his spiritual cultivation at the age of fifty, thus opening up the Bitter Sea.
However, the path of cultivation is fraught with difficulties. Pure Source are scarce in the Southern Jambudvipa, and most cultivators stop at the Sea of Bitterness Secret Realm.
Just as he was about to die at the Life Bridge, he stumbled upon an ancient cave dwelling and obtained the great opportunity of Dragon Transformation.
Afterwards, he went through many hardships and became one of the few great cultivators of the Immortal Platform Southern Jambudvipa. He also created a totem method suitable for places devoid of spiritual energy, thus Wuliang.
After passing down the totem in his homeland, he spent a great deal of time traveling throughout the continent to spread the method of cultivation across the entire continent.
For the cultivators of Immortal Platform, this was almost an impossible task, like the Foolish Old Man Moving Mountains. The continent was too vast, and the Southern Jambudvipa lacked spiritual veins, making it impossible to use teleportation arrays. Even preaching was as difficult as ascending to heaven. However, he did not care and still carried out the task.
Because of this, he exhausted all the resources he had gained in the ancient immortal palace, and by the time he ascended to the Third Heaven of the Immortal Platform, his lifespan was already very short.
Even so, he did not give up. He traveled all over the four continents and the four seas, and finally stepped into the ninth small step of the Third Heaven of the Immortal Platform Severing the Dao. He reached the Great Perfection of the Dao Severing Realm and became a nearly extinct Great Accomplishment King in the Dharma Ending Age. In the eyes of ordinary cultivators, he was already a legend among legends.
However, it is still not enough. In the Dharma Ending Age, it is far too difficult to reach the Saint Realm.
For thousands of years, not a single Saint has emerged from Southern Jambudvipa!
Now, a Divine Prohibition cultivator has appeared before him. This is his last hope, and his only person to defy fate!
"I am willing!" Daoist White Feather's voice was firm as he spoke his true feelings.
Su Yu's gaze remained unchanged as he calmly stated, "It's not that simple. If you follow me..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but some things didn't need to be said. To become King in the Dharma Ending Age, one must be a very clever person.
The Daoist in feathered robes remained silent. He rose, removed the Chaos Dao Seal, and pressed it to his brow, pondering its meaning deeply...
A moment later, wisps of sacred aura poured out, a beam of white light shot into the sky, and countless strands of auspicious energy lay out, condensing into a golden ring that hovered behind the Daoist in feather robes.
Su Yu was also somewhat amazed. In the blink of an eye, this Great Accomplishment King was almost about to step into the Half-Saint realm, his talent was absolutely outstanding!
He sighed, " The Dharma Ending, the passing years, how many brilliant minds have been shattered!"
If not for the limitations of time, it would be hard to imagine that such a stunning King of the Dharma Ending would bow down and willingly become his follower.
"My lord!" Daoist White Feather bowed his head and stood behind him.
He did not go into seclusion. After comprehending the Chaos Mark for a while, he broke free and accepted Su Yu's Thought Restriction.
"There's no need for that. I have a secret realm where you can cultivate and reach the Saint Realm as soon as possible," Su Yu said kindly.
