Chapter 85:
"Chirp chirp!"
Xiao Jiu flapped her wings, seemingly impatient.
Su Changyu smiled faintly. "Jiuling, take the pearl and send her back."
"Yes." Su Jiuling immediately conveyed Su Changyu's order.
"Still unwilling to meet..."
Bing Yao's face darkened but quickly recovered. At least she had delivered the item, which meant Su Changyu had forgiven her, right?
Bing Yao handed over the Netherfire Pearl. Then, the Su family's flying boat quickly disappeared over the sky.
"Miss, why do this..." Aunt Lian sighed helplessly. "Even though this Young Master Su is a supreme talent, he is, after all, a person of the Zhongtian Continent. Why degrade yourself like this?"
Aunt Lian wanted to say this but dared not. The dignified Holy Maiden of the Jade Moon Sect was admired by countless people outside. However, she was now eagerly trying to please someone and not even succeeding!
"You don't understand," Bing Yao said confidently. "Aunt Lian, just wait and see. Su Changyu will soon reach the pinnacle of the Azura Realm. By then, people like us might not even qualify to catch his eye. Instead of regretting it later, it's better to act now... Besides, I'm not degrading myself. The strong are supposed to be treated this way."
Aunt Lian could only sigh helplessly.
...
Three days later, the flying boat crashed into the Great Holy Sect.
Su Mo and Su Chen left to return to the Su family, while Su Changyu had Old Lin stay with Zhuge Wanqing to help her establish the Tianji Pavilion. Then, he asked Old Li to find the destined ones. Although such a task was like searching for a needle in a haystack, even one success would be worth it.
"Holy Son, the Sect Elders request your presence."
Soon after returning, an elder came to Ziyun Peak to find Su Changyu. He tidied up briefly and went to the sect's main hall.
Upon entering, he saw the peak masters of all major peaks standing inside. Su Changyu greeted them as usual.
"Haha! The Holy Son has finally returned!" An elder laughed. "The young supreme talent, suppressing the entire Beiyang generation of prodigies, has truly brought glory to our holy sect!"
"I always knew the Holy Son was extraordinary and destined to soar to great heights."
"Fifth Elder, when Changyu was promoted to Holy Son last time, you were..."
"Ahem~ That was so many years ago, I've long forgotten. Why bring it up?"
"It was less than half a year ago, and you've already forgotten?"
Su Changyu's suppression of his peers in Beiyang, even killing the Holy Son of the Ancient Moon Sect, was certainly cause for celebration for the Great Holy Sect. Originally, provoking the Ancient Moon Sect was a bit troublesome, but since it was eliminated, it was a double blessing.
As for the matter of the supposed Young Palace Master, they didn't associate it with Su Changyu. After all, Su Changyu had grown up in the Su family and then joined the sect. When would he have had the time to be a Young Palace Master?
"Alright," Dao Tianweng waved his hand and smiled. "Let's discuss the main issue."
This time, Su Changyu was called here to prepare for the Great Azura Battlefield three months later. The so-called Great Azura Battlefield was an ancient burial ground of gods and demons, shrouded by the rules of heaven and opening only once every thousand years.
The battlefield wasn't located in any Dao Domain but existed in a separate space. Even god-realm experts couldn't find the entrance. It opened every thousand years and stayed open for a year, only allowing cultivators under a hundred years old to enter.
From what Su Changyu knew, the Great Azura Battlefield had disputes involving three Dao Domains: the Azura Domain, the Great Wilderness Domain, and the Ancient Heavenly Domain. In past battles, the Great Wilderness was the strongest, followed by the Ancient Heavenly Domain, with the Azura Domain usually ranking last. This was a source of pain for the top experts of the Azura Domain.
Besides the face, the Great Azura Battlefield contained countless legacies, rare treasures, and natural resources. It was said that the path at the end of the battlefield was filled with secret arts of gods and demons and legacies of the heavens. Even obtaining one of them could greatly boost a sect's power.
Over the years, Azura Domain had consistently fallen behind in these competitions, significantly losing ground to the other two Domains in overall strength.
"I've heard that the Great Wilderness Domain has produced another prodigy, even more powerful and talented than those before," Dao Tianweng said solemnly.
"More terrifying than before?" Lu Wuya was stunned. "Could it be another young supreme?"
"It's not known. The Great Wilderness Dao Domain has hidden him well. I only know his name: Chu He."
Chu He...
Su Changyu frowned slightly. He had no impression of this person, but someone with the surname Chu was either a protagonist or a villain.
Dao Tianweng looked at him seriously. "Holy Son, your talent is immense, but you are still young and suffer from your youth. Many of the prodigies in the Great Azura Battlefield are seventy or eighty years old, with cultivation long in the Heavenly Saint Realm. In the past, there have even been those who reached the peak of the Heavenly King Realm!"
Even within the Azura Domain, many were under a hundred years old in the Heavenly Saint Realm. But reaching the peak of the Heavenly King Realm was unprecedented. Such talent could only be described as defying the heavens.
Su Changyu smiled lightly. "Don't worry, Sect Elder. I will step into the Heavenly Saint Realm soon."
"Good. If you can reach the Heavenly Saint Realm, there is hope." He then handed Su Changyu a pill. "This is a Nine-Turn Tianyuan Pill. After reaching the Heavenly Saint Realm, take it; it will help you break through to the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Realm."
After the Heavenly Saint Realm, each cultivation base level was divided into early, middle, late, and peak stages. A pill that could span so many levels was truly terrifying!
Su Changyu checked it and found it would cost eight thousand villain points in his system!
"Thank you, Sect Elder."
He accepted it without hesitation. While using pills had drawbacks, one or two instances didn't matter. Moreover, Su Changyu had a solid foundation and wouldn't be significantly affected, which was the main reason Dao Tianweng gave him the pill.
Compared to the opportunities in the Great Azura Battlefield, that bit of loss was negligible. He could seek other opportunities to recover in the future.
Leaving the sect's main hall, Su Changyu returned to Ziyun Peak and immediately announced he would be closed-door cultivation.
"It's time to make a breakthrough into the Heavenly Saint Realm!"
-To be continued!
