Chapter 74:
(The Beiyang continent)
The Su family's flying boat came to a stop above a dense forest of ancient towering trees.
Inside the boat, Su Changyu sat upright, his eyes closed in deep concentration. A radiant aura surrounded him, giving him an almost divine appearance.
Within the space around him, light and shadow flickered, as if a mysterious force was stirring.
This was a separate space he had created using his soul power.
Creating a separate space was a feat even Heavenly Saint Realm wasn’t possible.
Of course, it was difficult for even Heavenly Saint Realm experts to manifest space in this world. It could only be utilized by the creator for purposes like storage or soul cultivation.
After a while, the light and shadow dissipated, and Su Changyu slowly opened his eyes.
"The Void Shadow technique is slower to cultivate compared to soul techniques, but I've made some progress over these days."
The Void Shadow technique was another supernatural ability contained in his Dao Bone, specializing in cultivation progress.
However, Dao techniques were never that simple. This one, in particular, contained elements of spatial law, potentially extending to all spatial laws if fully understood.
The Great Dao was diverse, each with its own characteristics.
But among the billions of cultivators, very few could comprehend both the time and space paths of the Great Dao. but it was definitely rare in the Azura Realm, even among the prodigies he knew.
While the Great Dao offered diverse paths, comprehending both time and space was exceedingly rare. Su Changyu didn't know about other places, even among the prodigies he knew in the Azura Realm.
So, one could imagine the difficulty.
"This saves me a lot of trouble with villain points," Su Changyu smiled faintly.
Supernatural abilities could be directly improved using villain points.
However, since he was free and his cultivation progressed quickly, why waste precious villain points?
Facing Tang Chuan, he made considerable gains this time.
Altogether, Su Changyu gained nearly 3000 villain points, he pondered slightly and used the villain points to directly advance his cultivation to the peak of the Creational Realm.

"Peak of the Creational Realm. One step further, and I'll reach the Heavenly Saint Realm.”
The gap between the Heavenly Saint Realm and the Creational Realm was much greater than that between the Creational Realm and the Nirvana Realm.
Why were all beneath the Heavenly Saint Realm considered ants? Because after reaching the Heavenly Saint Realm, one's soul power would greatly increase and expand his consciousness. With the Heavenly Saint Realm, opponents' combat power was halved before even fighting.
Not only that, besides oppressing others, there was also the domain power embodied in the Heavenly Saint Realm.
That was a further understanding of the Dao.
For example, from sword intent to sword domain, it was a process of stepping into the Heavenly Saint Realm.
Of course, there might be geniuses who comprehended their domain before the Heavenly Saint Realm, as Tang Chuan did.
However, mastering a domain represented strength, but not invincibility.
Su Changyu hadn't specifically cultivated a domain before. His focus was on improving his cultivation, yet he remained invincible.
"I don't need to cultivate any domain. The supreme Dao essence contained in my Dao Bone is my domain." Su Changyu closed his eyes again to sense the celestial runes within his body.
As his mind settled, strands of the Dao's voice spread outward. Anyone who heard this voice felt their consciousness blur.
On the flying boat, Xuanyuan Taiyi suddenly opened his eyes and looked toward the luxurious palace at the center of the Dingliang Pavilion, his face showing surprise.
"What supernatural ability is the young master cultivating?"
Old Li lightly smiled. "No need to be surprised. The young master has the bearing of a great emperor, suppressing the current era. What's there to worry about?"
He had followed Su Changyu for many years and had become accustomed to such things.
However, there was a certain inexplicable sense of superiority in telling others from his mouth. 'You don't know how amazing the young master is, do you? I do!'
Xuanyuan Taiyi sighed, "Truly worthy of the Young Supreme. Throughout history, there hasn't been such a peerless genius in the Azura Realm for many years."
Suddenly, Old Li's gaze sharpened. "With fame comes trouble."
Xuanyuan Taiyi looked out of the flying boat, and his expression became indifferent.
"Aren't we here for this?"
With that, the two figures flashed away.
Only the sound of roaring reverberated in the void as the crushing hand of heaven pressed down, its aura spreading for thousands of miles, startling the beasts outside.
In no time, the duo returned, and the eerie aura outside the flying boat had long disappeared.
"Guard the surroundings. If any ill-intentioned fellows appear again, kill them on sight!" Xuanyuan Taiyi ordered.
"Yes!"
The figures on the flying boat dispersed into the air.
At that moment, a figure emerged from the central palace and the two immediately flew over.
"Young Master."
Su Changyu nodded. "Another group has come?"
Xuanyuan Taiyi said, "Young Master, rest assured, they are all insignificant figures, at most in the Heavenly Emperor Realm."
The disdainful tone toward the Heavenly Emperor Realm might make others embarrassed if they heard it.
These people were just probing for information, and Xuanyuan Taiyi didn't hold back. If he could kill, he would.
He was a Quasi-Divine expert, with unrivaled power. The Divine Realm Experts rarely appeared above, so for now, they were safe.
"Young Master, the Ancient Moon Sect might not act so recklessly." Old Li said.
"Not necessarily." Su Changyu understood the temper of the Ancient Moon Sect and knew its Sect Master's pampering attitude toward Tang Chuan. Since his wife's death, he naturally favored his son and gave him the best of everything.
Now that Tang Chuan's legs were broken, how could he swallow this anger?
Moreover, who said those causing trouble must be from the Ancient Moon Sect?
Those with grudges against the Ancient Moon Sect wouldn't miss this opportunity to provoke a conflict, especially since the person in Su Changyu's hands wasn't their Holy Son.
So, when leaving the Floating Cloud Ancient City, Su Changyu had Old Li relay the message that both the Great Holy Sect and the Su family were taking action.
Old Lao frowned. "Young Master, there's another matter. During this period, there have been rumors circulating outside that Chaos Destruction Flames have appeared at the Tianxing Cliff . Cultivators from all over the Beiyang continent are rushing there."
"Perhaps the Ancient Moon Sect deliberately spread it. In that case, this matter might not be so simple." Su Changyu's gaze turned indifferent as he stared into the distance.
"If they want to cause trouble, then let's make it even bigger."
Meanwhile, on a mountaintop a hundred miles away from the flying boat, a figure descended from the sky, falling down in a sorry state.
Boom!
This person's appearance immediately attracted others' attention.
"Holy Maiden," someone whispered.
On the blue stone, a black-clad woman wearing a veil slowly opened her eyes.
"Any news?"
The person on the ground hurriedly got up, and respectfully responded, "Holy... Holy Maiden, I'm useless. We were discovered before getting close to the flying boat. Besides me, everyone else was killed by the quasi-godlike expert beside Su Changyu."
The black-clad woman's eyes lifted slightly, her voice cold, "They are so vigilant. What is that Holy Son planning? By staying still for so many days, isn't he afraid of retaliation from the Ancient Moon Sect?"
"A Da, what's the situation on the Zhongtain continent?"
The middle-aged man beside her bowed his head, "Holy Maiden, according to our sources, the Great Holy Sect and the Su family are indeed moving, but if we take action, they won't make it in time."
The black-clad woman frowned slightly.
"How confident are you in dealing with that quasi-godlike expert?"
"Currently, it's fifty-fifty."
After speaking, A Da added, "The Xuanyuan Patriarch has the support of the Su family. His techniques and supernatural abilities are no less than mine."
"It's a pity that the elders of the sects are unwilling to come out. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so troublesome."
Divine Realm experts were the pinnacle existences of various top forces, akin to nuclear bombs. They won't appear unless absolutely necessary; otherwise, chaos would have broken out in the Azura Realm long ago.
Furthermore, they cultivated the Divine Realm to enjoy life and pursue higher realms, not to wipe others' backsides.
The black-clad woman knew this, but she had her own purpose for coming here.
"The Nine Nether Palace... I must take it back!"
The Nine Nether Palace, the Imperial Artifact of the Nine Nether Sovereign, was rarely known. When the Nine Nether Palace was destroyed, a core figure of the lineage escaped and, after hiding, established the Soul Demon Sect.
Although it had only been a few thousand years since its inception, the Soul Demon Sect's strength was already comparable to the top forces.
If it weren't for the joint attack by the righteous sects on the Nine Nether Palace, the ancient demonic sect wouldn't have been destroyed.
"If the Holy Son can obtain the Nine Nether Palace, the next Sect Master's position will be within easy reach." A Da said respectfully.
Just then, another figure descended.
"Miss, there's movement from the Ancient Moon Sect!"
The corners of the black-clad woman's mouth lifted slightly, "Excellent, let's wait and see."
