Clumsy Peak, as its name suggests, has no magnificent scenery, no majestic presence, no spiritual essence, and nothing extraordinary about it.
Su Yu glanced around and saw a nine-tiered jade staircase not far away. This was the Heavenly Trial of Clumsy Peak. The top of the staircase was smooth and new, indicating that it had been used before.
He sensed two familiar auras in the ancient hall ahead and followed them.
The ancient gate opened, and inside the hall, Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue were somewhat wary upon seeing two unfamiliar figures.
They were relentlessly pursued by Ji Biyue, and eventually Dragon Transformation cultivator appeared, whom even the Purple Jade Gourd could not withstand, having some of its Dao patterns obliterated. If it weren't for the riot at the Bronze Immortal Palace, they would have already perished.
"These are two distinguished guests, no need to panic!"
The old man explained, his face calm and expressionless.
Su Yu did not speak to the two of them. He took out a piece of divine jade and handed it to Li Ruoyu. This was a material of Great Power level.
Li Ruoyu waved his hands repeatedly, refusing to accept the divine jade.
"No need for that, meeting is fate!"
Seeing that the old man refused, Su Yu took out another piece of Purple Light Jade Marrow, which was King- level immortal material. Li Ruoyu was still unmoved, so Su Yu had no choice but to give up.
Ji Ziyue, who was standing to the side, recognized the two divine materials and had some guesses about Su Yu's identity.
After the three exchanged pleasantries, finished their tea, and left, Ye Fan finally asked, "Who are they?"
Ji Ziyue glanced at Su Yu in the distance and whispered, "I've seen that special piece of purple jade in the Northern Region. That Daoist Cao has a purple jade sword specifically for cutting stone!"
That's it?
Ye Fan was somewhat skeptical. What could the same material prove? Moreover, the other party's aura was not the same as Cao Yusheng's; they were quite different.
"Suit yourself, I can't be bothered to say anything more!"
Seeing that Xiao Yezi didn't believe her, Ji Ziyue snorted and ran to the side, ignoring Ye Fan.
Chapter 168 The Nine Secrets: Jie
Withered vines, old trees, and crows at dusk; the blood-red sunset sinks in the west, a scene of gloomy stillness prevails.
At this moment, the lineage has not yet been established, and Clumsy Peak is desolate. There are no signs of immortals, only broken walls and ruins, endless rubble, overgrown weeds, and thorns everywhere. There is no mountain path left.
Looking at the magnificent red glow, Li Ruoyu sighed. He had guarded Clumsy Peak for over five hundred years, yet he still hadn't received the inheritance of the Natural Dao.
"You two may do as you please, but please do not harm my two poor disciples!"
After speaking, he feigned a frail and aged demeanor and walked towards the ancient hall.
Looking at the withered grass and trees, Su Yu said calmly, "That's natural. Why do you sigh, fellow Daoist? I see the auspicious aura surrounding the mountain peaks. Something extraordinary will happen in the next few days. At that time, the Immortal Two will be nothing to us; we can break through it with ease!"
Ling Yang surveyed the Clumsy Peak; all around were withered trees and weeds, with no trace of auspicious energy.
Li Ruoyu paused, but didn't turn around, and said, "I hope it's as you say, fellow Daoist!"
Watching the old man's departing figure, Ling Yang Power surged, and the powerful divine sense of the Third Heaven of the Immortal Platform covered this world.
A red glint flashed in his eyes as he said to Su Yu, "If he can't break through to the next realm, he only has a few hundred years left to live!"
Su Yu nodded slightly and said softly, "His lineage is indeed like this, but these few days are the beginning of the inheritance. Don't alert others. The secret of 'Ji' is on this mountain peak."
Upon hearing Su Yu's words, Ling Yang was shocked and extremely surprised.
The fame of the Nine Heavenly Venerable Venerables of Daoism is known throughout the world. The Nine Secrets, which seize the Fortune of heaven and earth, are absolutely supreme divine arts. This inconspicuous mountain peak actually buried the inheritance of the "All" secret.
The two ascended to the Ninth Heavenly Ladder, where wisps of Chaos energy descended and intertwined at Su Yu's feet to form a Green Lotus futon. He sat upright on the Clumsy Peak, his body radiating divine light, concealing himself within his form.
His Devouring Heaven Demon Lid in the Chaos Bitter Sea emitted a faint light, causing the atmosphere of this place to fall into complete Chaos, hazy and indistinct.
As the " Indestructible Heavenly Art " was activated, the boundless Bitter Sea emitted a wisp of sacred aura, pure white, with Immortal Spirit soaring through the sky and giant waves surging.
"When the Way is empty, it waxes and wanes; when Heaven and Earth collapse, what remains of the Immortal of the Foreign Realm..."
The five deities within the Dao Palace were chanting the Remnant Scripture of Immortal Blood. This was an ancient scripture that Su Yu obtained from the Bronze Immortal Palace. It was possibly Emperor Scripture created by the third Empress, involving the transformation of divine consciousness and capable of tempering his divine soul.
Ling Yang also sat cross-legged to the side, silently waiting for the inheritance to begin.
On the third day, a Void appeared atop Clumsy Peak, extremely tranquil, where vegetation flourished and withered, sometimes lush and verdant, sometimes withered and desolate.
The nine-tiered heavenly ladder, hazy and indistinct, kept expanding, until magnificent palaces and pavilions appeared above, lying across the Void.
The purple jade bracelet in Su Yu's hand emitted a faint glow, startling him. A strange feeling welled up in his heart, Chaos and dissipating the mist, revealing his true form.
At the mountaintop, the extreme Void and profound tranquility seemed to be an evolving world, where inexplicable "Tao" and "principle" were intertwined.
Everything is in full bloom, brimming with life, in a cyclical and ever-changing process. In the beginning, the flowers are in full bloom and the leaves are lush and green, but in the end, they wither and fall, returning to their roots.
This is the inheritance of the Natural Dao!
Su Yu stood motionless atop the Clumsy Peak, his eyes shifting from brilliance to desolation, from light to emptiness, as if he too had experienced a transformation from prosperity to decline.
It's as if I've transformed into a blade of grass, and in the blink of an eye, from birth to death, life and death have traversed countless Lunhui.
It seemed as if inexplicable traces emerged between heaven and earth, forming complex and profound rules and order, giving rise to mysterious patterns and designs.
Clumsy Peak, returning to simplicity and authenticity, embodies the Tao and its principles. The entire mountain is a scripture, requiring a corresponding state of mind to capture its mysterious, ever-changing trajectory.
The heartwood of the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree on his wrist exuded a faint Daoist aura, drawing him into the deepest Dao Realm.
Su Yu remained oblivious to everything around him, his eyes swirling with the Chaos Dao. Under the Chaos Divine Eyes, the ordinary, Clumsy Peak transformed into countless Dao patterns, intertwined together.
"A great achievement is like a lack, a great success is like a rush, a great skill is like a clumsy..."
Clumsy Peak, where the lineage had been severed for five hundred years, has seen the reappearance of profound teachings, the opening of the Daoist gates, and the unfolding of wondrous truths. There are no Divine Spring gushing from the earth, no auspicious omens descending from the sky, only a simple tradition and a Daoist rhythm flowing through the air.
This Daoist rhythm tempered Su Yu's state of mind. His heart was incredibly clear and empty, the Chaos chaos trembled slightly, resonating with the myriad Daos of heaven and earth, and his whole being merged with Clumsy Peak.
Suddenly, a strange Daoist aura began to circulate, appearing incredibly mysterious, quite different from the ancient Clumsy Peak.
No sound came, no waves rippled, only a strange charm appeared on the summit of Clumsy Peak.
" The Nine Secrets: Jie!"
Su Yu focused his mind, ceasing to comprehend the Natural Dao, and instead immersed himself in this Daoist rhythm.
The entire Clumsy Peak exudes an ancient charm, as if it has traveled through time and returned to ten thousand years ago. It is like a desolate mountain, seemingly undeveloped and even more ordinary than it is now, yet a natural aura flows through it.
In his eyes, it was as if lines were interwoven between heaven and earth, and unknown rules were transformed into order, giving rise to inexplicable power and constructing various patterns in the Void.
All things wither, grass and trees decay, turning into soil, returning to their roots, moving from movement to stillness, returning to their true nature, as if an Eternal law is evolving.
From birth to return to the origin, through vibrant life, extreme prosperity, and then to the fading of splendor and ultimate tranquility, returning to the source, there are countless "Dao patterns" in the world that are born and die, finally transforming into a familiar divine Dao pattern diagram.
The unique Dao patterns of the Nine Secrets! He was very familiar with these Dao patterns, having seen them twice before.
Surrounded by three thousand Chaos energies, Su Yu was enveloped in dark light, merging with heaven and earth, becoming one with the Clumsy Peak, using the power of nature to cleanse his soul.
It's as if I've transformed into a stone, a blade of grass, or a vine on the Clumsy Peak, imprinting every detail and endless charm into my heart.
Finally, on the silent, Clumsy Peak, all the scenery disappeared before his eyes, leaving only a seed and a patch of soil. He passed by like a gentle breeze.
The seeds of nature sprouted from the soil, revealing a touch of green. His mind was at peace, as still as a deep well, and he eventually transformed into a few drops of water, which fell down and nourished the soil.
His mind seemed to have become one with the seed, becoming that vibrant green. On the Clumsy Peak, a tranquil scene unfolded, and a single green sprout radiated boundless vitality, becoming unique in the world.
Su Yu closed his eyes, stood up, and appeared extremely ethereal, seemingly utterly empty and distant, as if standing on a cloud or separated by a starry sky, covered in the dust of history.
He obtained both the Natural Dao and the Nine Secrets, and his mind was cleansed by the Great Natural Dao, which was equivalent to Great Saint of the Human Clan personally preaching, purifying his soul, and returning him to his origin.
He glanced at the crowd in the distance, his divine sense like a sword, and a sword's cry resounded through the sky, repelling all the divine senses that were trying to probe him.
After a long while, Ling Yang finally woke up, as if from an eternal dream. His eyes were blurry as he regained his senses.
Chapter 169 The Caged Bird
At this moment, the others also woke up. Ye Fan calmed his mind, put away the Bodhi Seed in his hand, and turned his gaze to the purple jade divine chain in Su Yu's hand. He had seen Su Yu's Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree Heart Pendant before.
"Fellow Daoist has broken through a major barrier; you must be on the path of the Great Power of the past! I congratulate you in advance!" Su Yu said with a smile.
It was just a coincidence!
Li Ruoyu's expression was calm, displaying a magnanimous state of mind that was neither elated by external gains nor saddened by personal losses. After receiving the inheritance of the Natural Dao, he appeared even more ordinary, like a true old man in the mortal world.
Su Yu nodded and remained silent. He had come for the Nine Secrets, so it was perfectly normal for the other party to be wary of him.
At this moment, Ye Fan stood behind Li Ruoyu, secretly watching him.
A palm-sized piece of Purple Light Jade Marrow flew out, crystal clear and radiating a dazzling light, and landed in Ye Fan's hand.
Goodbye!
Without waiting for their refusal, Su Yu waved his sleeve, and a path of light covered with golden runes stretched towards the sky. He led Ling Yang onto the divine path and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, the Mingyue hung high in the sky, its pure white light bathing the land of Clumsy Peak like wisps of smoke. Dozens of stars appeared in the sky, crashing down upon him with an aura of annihilation.
Li Ruoyu's expression changed drastically on Clumsy Peak. He turned around and tried to stop the stars.
Before Su Yu could make a move, Ling Yang glanced coldly at Star Peak, flicked his sleeve, and the universe reversed. Countless spatial divine runes surged out, taking all the stars into his sleeve, and then waved towards Star Peak.
Dozens of stars, wreathed in crimson light, shot out at incredible speed, entwined with terrifying Void power, transforming into crimson divine light that shot toward the Star Peak.
"Boom!"
Loud explosions echoed from Star Peak, turning the main hall into ruins. Pavilions and towers collapsed, and the scenery of mountains shrouded in wisps of smoke, green trees entwined with vines, and flowing streams was completely destroyed. More than a dozen large craters were scattered across the once beautiful and magnificent sacred peak.
The ancient hall burst open, and a Daoist priest with disheveled gray hair flew out. He was in a sorry state, his black Daoist robe covered in dust, his face stained with blood, and he shouted angrily, "How dare you attack Star Peak!"
The 107 main peaks of the Taixuan Sect trembled, and countless disciples rushed to this place. More than a dozen white-haired elders took to the air and intercepted the two.
"No way..."
Li Ruoyu tried to stop the conflict and repeatedly tried to persuade the elders of Star Peak with kind words, but the elders were already furious and the main hall had been destroyed, so they wouldn't listen to any advice.
At this moment, a Severing the Dao aura emanated from Ling Yang, and chains of Order Divine Chains stretched across the sky, their imposing presence causing the heavens and earth to tremble.
The crimson chains of Severing the Dao the path to the heavens ripped through the sky, dazzling like a rainbow, causing everyone's expression to change. The oppressive aura of the Third Heaven of the Immortal Platform was overwhelming, like countless Demon Mountain pressing down, leaving no room for resistance and filling all the disciples with despair.
It was an indescribable feeling. Cultivators below the Great Power seemed to be suppressed by the Jiuyou Death Mountain, their lives hanging by A Will Eternal. All of them were under the control of the Severing the Dao Divine Chain. Only Great Power at the Immortal Platform Second Heaven could barely resist.
The Dao-Slaying King!
Severing the Dao, a being rarely seen in the Dharma Ending Age, has actually appeared at the Taixuan Sect.
Moreover, the other party was full of vigor and vitality, like the sun at its zenith, not the old Wang who was decaying and dying.
Like tiny ants trying to shake a great mountain, they could never succeed. Everyone present trembled, and some elders and disciples below the Immortal Platform couldn't help but kneel down, unable to withstand the pressure of the Third Heaven of the Immortal Platform.
