Hearing Su Yu's explanation, Ling Yang was even more horrified; this old man was actually a Saint King.
In the current cultivation world of Big Dipper, no King appear and Saint are extinct. Only the Victorious Fighting Buddha of Mount Sumeru in the Western Desert spreads his holy name. And in this desolate wilderness, an old man is encountered by chance, who turns out to be Saint King.
The white-haired Old Madman cried and made a scene, running around in the mountains. His clothes were tattered and looked very old, not at all like the clothes of this era.
"Endless skeletons, mountains of corpses and seas of blood, it... has come again..."
"Hahaha, they're all dead, all dead..."
"Waaaaah..."
The Old Madman burst into tears, his cloudy eyes brimming with tears, and he violently tore at his messy white hair.
Su Yu stepped forward, took out a bottle of Divine Spring, and wanted to hand it to the other party. However, the Mad Old Man just stared blankly at the mountain, his clothes covered in dust, and did not take the Divine Spring.
Su Yu chuckled softly, placed the jade bottle in the Old Madman's hand, and said earnestly, " The Tianxuan Holy Land has passed away, senior, please accept my condolences! Decades later, the Ancient Clans will emerge, and we will need you to support the Human Clan!"
After speaking, Su Yu returned to Ling Yang's side.
The Old Madman, meanwhile, stood there blankly, holding the jade bottle in his hands, still weeping. He hadn't glanced at Su Yu once, completely absorbed in his own world.
Let's go!
"Your Highness, what is that?" Ling Yang asked, somewhat puzzled.
"A disciple of Tianxuan from six thousand years ago, he killed Great Accomplished God King Body at the same level back then," Su Yu briefly introduced.
In the original work, the Mad Old Man fought a bloody battle against the Primordial Ancestral King in the starry sky, and as Saint King, he fought against the Great Saint. His heroic spirit is admirable, but his fate is also very sad.
Six thousand years ago, the Road to Immortality appeared in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land. In order to achieve Longevity, the Tianxuan Holy Land chose the most extreme method: the entire sect attacked the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land in order to ascend to Flying Immortal as a whole.
Unfortunately, unless one is exceptional, even those on the Almost-Enlightened One cannot venture deep into the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, let alone the disciples of the Holy Land led by Great Saint Sage. The Dao of Time permeating the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land alone is enough to obliterate cultivators below the Saint Realm.
The fate of the Tianxuan Holy Land was also tragic; the Holy Land was destroyed, and only this old man escaped.
"But what is the reason behind the Ruthless One taking the Tianxuan Saintess as his Desolate Slave?"
Su Yu looked at the Old Madman, thinking of the Tianxuan Saintess in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, standing in the Void, gazing at the Life Forbidden Zone from afar.
Six thousand years have buried everything. The once glorious Tianxuan Holy Land now has only three survivors, and the reason for this remains unknown!
If the goal is to become an immortal, then the Tianxuan Saintess can indeed be considered an "immortal" in a certain sense, existing forever in the world!
In this sense, the original goal of Tianxuan Holy Land has been achieved: the Holy Maiden has attained Eternal!
Moreover, the Mad Old Man obtained the " Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist " from the Road to Immortality!
Chapter 154 Immortal Tribulation Sword Art
Let's go!
Looking at the deranged old man, Su Yu said with some emotion that he didn't want to follow him forever.
Tomorrow marks the journey to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, where the spiritual springs and Sacred Fruit far surpass the value of the incomplete "Journey" secret.
And the complete "Xing" secret is in the sacred cliff of the Immortal Mountain. All the secrets of the crazy old man are the incomplete Nine Secrets.
Although he had opened his Heavenly Eye and was able to comprehend the Merak Steps from the traces of Saint, it was only a fragmented version, far inferior to the divine art of the Void Scripture, which Su Yu did not care about.
Waiting for Divine Silkworm Princess to emerge from seclusion, or for him to master his secret technique, the complete Nine Secrets: Xing will be within easy reach.
Ling Yang concealed his aura, nodded, and had no objection.
Just as the two were about to leave, the madman took a long stride, covering several miles in a single step, truly living up to his name of Shrinking the Earth into Inches. Each footprint was extraordinary, interwoven with mysterious patterns, exuding a natural Daoist charm.
Su Yu activated his Heavenly Eye, and the core of the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree on his wrist emitted a rich Daoist aura, making his mind clear.
He followed the Mad Old Man with the Void Divine Steps. Under the gaze of the Chaos Heavenly Eye, these Dao patterns were incredibly clear, revealing the rules and mysteries of heaven and earth. Countless Great Dao Runes evolved into real Dao power, within which the most profound spatial Dao was nurtured.
In Su Yu's eyes, the Mad Old Man in front of him transformed into a Innate Dao Diagram. The complex Dao tracks were arranged in the diagram, crystal clear. He knew all the tracks by heart, and they were transformed into a chain of Dao principles.
" The Nine Secrets: Xing!"
Having exhausted the divine patterns within the Dao diagram, Su Yu stepped into the Void, transforming into a streak of extreme speed, and disappeared into the sky.
At this moment, the Mad Old Man stopped on a rocky hill, staring blankly into the distance. A flash of black light appeared, and Su Yu appeared in front of the Mad Old Man. He took out another pot of Divine Spring, but the Mad Old Man did not answer.
Su Yu took out a silver ribbon, strung the silk cord and the jade pot together, and then tied it around the other person's waist by hand.
"Thank you for the guidance, senior!"
He took two steps back, bowed, and his gaze was very deep.
This old man may seem crazy, but he lives with more clarity than anyone else. He also contributed his strength during the Dark Turmoil times and is a great monk worthy of respect.
Having done all this, he vanished into the light, leaving only the Mad Old Man on the rocky mountain.
Amidst swirling clouds and scattered light and shadow, Su Yu found a sacred mountain outside the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land and sat cross-legged atop its summit.
He made a hand seal, summoned the Devouring Heaven Demon Lid, and took out a black jade slip from the imperial artifact.
The moment this jade slip appeared, it caused the world to lose its color, the Void to tremble slightly, and a vast and profound aura spread out. Outside the jade slip, there was a scene of Immortal Sword flying across the sky, and various kinds of divine blood flowed, exuding an ominous aura.
A sharp sword light flashed, with countless divine runes of heaven and earth engraved on it.
This is the eternal sword energy from the Chaos Small World, which Divine Silkworm Princess has stored in the Imperial Qi Jade Slip.
Although much of this sword energy was worn away by the Devouring Heaven Demon Jar, it was still powerful. A full-force strike was enough to kill Great Saint, and it was by no means inferior to Quasi-Emperor Buddha statue. The sword technique used by Su Yu was derived from it.
In an instant, two divine rays shot out from Su Yu's eyes as he stared at the sword-qi jade slip, activating the Chaos origin within his body.
In a daze, the myriad paths of heaven and earth merged with him. With the assistance of the heart of the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree and the Chaos Heavenly Eye, he seemed to be able to see through the jade slip and look directly at the undying sword energy sealed by the Emperor's Qi.
The terrifying sword energy stung his divine sense, but Su Yu did not back down. He continued to comprehend the arrangement of Dao patterns within the sword energy. His Chaos Eyes transformed into endless Great Dao Runes, with Dao paths wandering within them, revealing the ultimate profound meaning of the sword Dao.
He secluded himself in the Emperor's coffin for two years, spending half of that time studying this jade slip containing imperial energy.
The techniques contained within this wisp of sword energy were incredibly profound and mysterious, in no way inferior to ultimate secret arts. However, the divine runes within it differed from the divine arts of the " Indestructible Heavenly Art," and did not resemble the Empress's secret arts.
The sword-qi jade slip floated in the Void, Devouring Heaven Demon Lid cast down strands of dark light, enveloping the jade slip and Su Yu.
The distant Ling Yang disappeared into the Void, and the divine sense of the Severing the Dao covered this area, cautiously observing the surrounding situation.
After leaving the Feathered Immortal Valley, he encountered an Emperor-level artifact, Half-Saint avatar, and Saint King Realm being, which made him somewhat nervous. His arrogance, originally stemming from achieving the Third Heaven of the Immortal Platform, dissipated.
In his eyes, the Big Dipper Ancient Star was a place where extreme forces were deeply rooted and holy beings emerged one after another. It was nothing like the Immortal Second Realm Mighty Figure that Li Chonghua described, who roamed the Five Regions.
Su Yu was completely immersed in the sword technique.
He felt as if he were once again transported to the Chaos Small World of more than 200,000 years ago, witnessing the Empress unleash that earth-shattering sword light, annihilating the Imperial Saint Spirit and destroying everything in its path.
The sword light transformed into countless Dao patterns, arranged in the starry sky, eternally indestructible.
This is an Nameless Sword Art that draws upon the power of heaven and earth, transforming into a Divine Rainbow that causes all things to wither. It contains the lament of gods dying and demons weeping, as well as a chilling coldness that makes one's scalp tingle. When the sword light sweeps across, its sword intent is vast and magnificent, terrifying and frightening, causing one to face calamity for a lifetime.
The sword technique contained boundless killing intent, seemingly intent on completely devouring Su Yu's soul and turning it into nourishment for the sword energy. However, with strands of dark light protecting him, he was impervious to all attacks, and the sword energy bound by the Emperor Qi Jade Slip was completely unable to harm him.
"Heaven and earth are nothingness; all living beings are destined for calamity!"
Sitting cross-legged on the desolate mountain, Su Yu was enveloped in Chaos mist, surrounded by three thousand Chaos energies, exuding an incomparably profound aura.
Suddenly, a beam of Chaos Immortal Light flew out, transforming into a Chaos Immortal Sword that crisscrossed the Void, its sword energy surging and annihilating all things.
The cold, sharp sword light shattered everything, unleashing countless rays of light. The sword's radiance dissipated, dazzling yet poignant, illuminating an Eternal light.
The external surface of the device rippled and emitted a rich, Chaos Divine Light.
Runes bloomed and then condensed into a Immortal Sword, exuding a terrifying killing intent, as if it had slaughtered countless great worlds, making people's hearts tremble and feel as if they were facing a great calamity.
The Rune Immortal Sword transformed into a beam of sword light, piercing through the air and merging with the Chaos Immortal Sword, imprinting its Daoist power and divine patterns onto the sword's edge.
After the two merged, a fierce sword aura filled the Void, earth-shattering, indestructible, and unstoppable.
Ling Yang, standing in the Void, felt a chill in his gaze, his mind being suppressed by a peculiar "force".
He activated his divine power, and crimson light flowed, restoring nature to its original state. He was greatly shocked, as he had never heard of such a sword technique before.
The Chaos Immortal Gold Sword in the Void exuded surging Chaos energy. Unlike before, its blade contained a faint gray layer, stained with terrifying tribulation energy.
At this moment, Su Yu's Five Great Secret Realms resonated in unison, creating a spectacular phenomenon. The sky was filled with azure divine lotuses of the Great Dao, all appearing together and blooming into lotuses. The moment the azure Hua Hua opened, they transformed into countless avatars.
One after another, he himself materialized into a solidified figure, seated cross-legged on a lotus, chanting scriptures, his hands forming a mudra. The lotus and the figure together transformed into a wisp of sword light, surging into Su Yu's brow and forming a sword seal...
This training lasted for a whole day, and finally, he mastered the sword technique!
As dawn broke on the second day, the handsome young man sitting cross-legged on the mountaintop opened his eyes. A sword light flashed in his divine eyes, and his body exuded a sharp sword aura.
He gazed at the distant, Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, and said somewhat absentmindedly, "The Sword of Tribulation! Is it the Immortal Tribulation Sword Art from the Perfect World Era?"
Chapter 155 The Cage
The three great sword techniques of the Perfect World Era: the Grass Character Sword Art, the Sword Art of Quelling Chaos, and the Immortal Tribulation Sword Art. These three sword techniques are all supreme divine arts at the Immortal King level.
Among them, the Sword Art of Quelling Chaos focuses on cultivating the primordial spirit, which can transform the primordial spirit into a sword embryo Primordial Spirit Sword Embryo is indestructible and can shatter Eternal.
The Grass Character Sword Art is indestructible. Its cultivation method is very different from the Chaos Calming Art. The latter forges the primordial spirit and transforms it into a sword embryo, while the Grass Character Sword Art tempers matter into a sword embryo, even using arms, finger bones, etc., making it indestructible.
The Immortal Tribulation Sword Art is the most mysterious, and there was no successor in the Perfect World Era.
The technique that Su Yu comprehended from the sword energy was extremely mysterious. When activated, it depicted a scene of calamity befalling all living beings, and the lamentations of gods dying and demons weeping, illustrating a terrifying tribulation. With a single sword strike, all enemies would face their doom.
Moreover, the aura of this sword technique is different from that of the ultimate divine arts. Su Yu has mastered more than ten forbidden divine arts and is very familiar with the secret arts of the Emperor's Path.
However, this sword technique is different. It has an indescribable and inexplicable meaning, but its level is in no way inferior to a complete forbidden imperial technique.
Su Yu looked at the Chaos Immortal Gold Sword flying in the sky, and with a thought, he summoned the Immortal Sword, laid it flat on his knees, and slowly stroked the ancient patterns on the blade with his right hand.
He also engraved the Xian Dao divine patterns from the Three Lifetimes Bronze Coffin onto this Immortal Sword, giving it an aura of vicissitudes of time.
A faint hue of Phoenix Blood Red Gold adorns the sword's body, transforming it into Immortal Spirit scenes, within which countless Dao patterns are imprinted. The sword's edge contains a layer of faint gray, exuding an eerie and chilling aura, radiating a terrifying aura of calamity.
The technique he gleaned from the sword energy was incomplete; the Daoist runes and divine chains within it were fragmented.
"The sword technique that comes with the Legend of Immortal Sword and Fairy? Or is it the Empress's own opportunity?"
Su Yu gazed at the Chaos Immortal Sword in his hand, his black hair cascading down to his waist. He seemed to merge with the rising sun in the east, looking towards the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, his beauty incomparable under the morning light.
At this moment, a large number of cultivators gathered in a small town outside the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.
Hundreds of knights, seated atop various mythical beasts, charged out of the town, their killing intent soaring and their fighting spirit high.
All the strange beasts shimmered with divine light, their scales and armor gleaming. They all hovered three feet off the ground, galloping through the Void like a tsunami.
