Weiyang Capital.
Office of the Demon Extermination Division.
Chen Wangchuan stood with his arms folded.
As he looked at the golden light that shot into the sky, the rumbling sound of thunder resounded in his ears, and his expression was extremely solemn.
“Holy-grade perfect, it really is Holy-grade perfect talent.”
“In this case, His Majesty can’t keep silent…”
Thinking of his daughter’s stubborn appearance, he couldn’t help but sigh slightly.
“I hope Qingluan doesn’t quarrel with Su Shi and returns safely.”
……
Zhaotian Palace.
A gorgeous and tall building.
Green smoke billowed from the gilded beast incense burner.
The dazzling golden light shone through the window glass into the hall, and the booming sound of thunder surrounded the light for a long time.
There was silence in the hall for a moment, then there was a “boom” sound and chaos broke out.
“The Demon Star is in the sky, this is a sign of great evil!”
“If the boy gets it, who can stop him in the future?”
“If we don’t get rid of this boy, he will become a great danger!”
“Your Majesty, we cannot hesitate anymore!”
The ministers knelt down to advise, their faces extremely frightened.
Although Su Shi had exploded the Soul Jade Perception stone, proving his terrifying talent, after all, people had not seen it with their own eyes and were skeptical about it.
If there was such a genius, why would the Demonic path hide him for ten years?
This was not in line with common sense.
Many people believed that this was a smokescreen put up by the Demon Empress to destabilize the Imperial Dinasty and the Righteous people.
Now, the facts were already in front of them.
The people was all in a panic!
One Demon Empress had devoured away at three parts of the world, and with the addition of a genius that had not been seen in ten thousand years, they were worried that the Imperial Dynasty would be in danger!
“Silence!”
With a sunken brow, the flamboyantly dressed eunuch was reprimanded.
Silence returned to the courtroom, and the courtiers all looked towards the bright yellow phoenix robe sitting high in the sky.
After a long wait, an indifferent and dignified voice sounded, “Tell the guards to blockade Tianqu Mountain!”
“Yes!”
“Your Majesty is wise!”
……
Land of the Great Clouds.
Sikong Lanyue stood atop the mountain.
Silently gazing at the pillar of light that pierced through the heavens and earth, the mist around her was colored with golden light.
Behind her, the gray-robed Daoist Priest frowned, “Sect Leader, are we still keeping quiet?”
Sikong Lanyue shook her head and asked rhetorically, “Before this, Qingchen was the number one genius in the world, and after years of strife between the Righteous force and the Demonic force, has Yun Qilou ever laid a hand on her?”
The gray-robed Daoist Priest looked puzzled, “This, this can’t be compared, Su Shi is a demon–”
“Even demons understand the virtue, right?”
Sikong Lanyue coldly said, “If we kill Su Shi, Yun Qiluo will definitely open the end of the war and stain the Nine Regions with blood! At that time, people’s lives will be ruined, wouldn’t that be a sin committed by our Tianji Pavilion?”
“For the sake of something called ‘Righteous Path’, thus risking the lives of many people, do you think it still deserves to be called ‘Righteous path’?”
If Su Shi was a little commander, he would have already been killed.
But now that he has become a Holy-grade perfect genius, he cannot be touched!
It was important to finish off the geniuses of the Demonic path, but the people of this world must not bear the cost!
“Enough, let’s never discuss this matter again. You may leave.”
“Yes.”
The gray-robed Daoist Priest’s face turned pale as he bowed and retreated.
Sikong Lanyue stood alone for a long time before finally letting out a silent sigh.
“The white moon is in the sky, the stars are dim, the demon star has come out, who else can claim the word Peerless Genius?”
“Qingchen is very talented, but she happened to be born in the same era as him ……”
……
Su Shi didn’t realize what kind of uproar was happening in the outside world.
He was in a vast and boundless universe, as if he was a flat boat wandering in the Milky Way.
Starlight that had traveled through billions of years flowed over his body, coalescing into a glorious light that enveloped him like a cocoon of light.
Each starlight contained an infinite image, and although the universe was silent, the sound of the Great Dao resounded in his ears.
This was a gathering gift from an ancient great emperor, given to a true genius.
As for how much could be understood, it depended on one’s creation.
As the Heavenly Sutra ran automatically, points of starlight entered his body, and as spiritual energy flowed unceasingly, it continuously infiltrated his meridians and dantian.
Intense beeps rang in his ears, but Su Shi was so immersed in the starlight that he didn’t even notice.
After an unknown period of time, the river of stars gradually dimmed, as if all the light had been absorbed.
Amidst the chaos, he faintly saw a door of white light.
Unconsciously, he drifted towards it.
……
The air fluctuated and rippled.
Poof.
One by one, figures fell to the ground like dumplings.
The people opened their eyes in confusion.
“What did you just see?”
“I saw the yellow sand in the sky and seemed to have some feelings…”
“I, I don’t really remember…”
“I didn’t feel anything at all.”
Aagh~
At that moment, the cultivator was seen turning into wild sand, like a sweeping storm, before regaining his human form once more.
“I, I’ve sensed divine power!”
The cultivator looked at his hands in shock.
“Divine power?”
“Could this be the so-called opportunity?”
“Damn it, why can’t I!”
People feel envious or disappointed, hating themselves for not realizing it properly now.
But things like enlightenment are mysterious and mysterious.
It is not something that can be obtained just by being serious.
After a while, the figures of the Heavenly Prides also appeared.
Each of them looked thoughtful.
Zhan Qingchen’s eyes glittered and her breathing hardened, obviously having made considerable gains.
It seemed that she had just entered the Earth Realm and felt the pulse of the earth, and now her dao heart was as solid as a rock!
Her sense of heavenly dynamics is becoming more and more clear, which is of great benefit to her cultivation realm!
“Qingluan, what are you feeling?”
She looked at the young girl in green beside her.
“I just fell into the earth’s lava core ……”
The Autumn Water in Chen Qingluan’s hand groaned softly, and the sword was ignited with red light, as if it was magma rolling around, and the searing heat made people dare not look directly at it.
Sword Qi is now equipped with attributes!
Both of them have entered the Earth Realm, but the enlightenment they have gained is completely different.
“This stone tablet is very mysterious, it seems to be the inheritance of an ancient great power.”
“That’s right, it can really polish my Sword Intent.”
They were already Heavenly Prides from the start, and this enlightenment made them even greater!
Ye Xiao fell from the air with an incomparably joyful expression!
He had already broken through to the Middle Stage of Golden Elixir Realm in just one sweep!
“Mountain Realm!”
“I have comprehended the Mountain Will!”
“The fall of mountains and water, the changing of seasons, the withering of grass and trees, the rising and setting of the sun and moon!”
Thinking of that man, Ye Xiao’s smile was very gloomy.
“Hmph, so what if his talent is good? My enlightenment is unrivaled in the world!”
“One day I will trample you under my feet!”
“You guys, you guys, look!”
At that moment, someone pointed to the sky and exclaimed.
Ye Xiao looked up in confusion, and a smile froze on his face.
He saw the air fluctuating like water, and the void looked like an open curtain.
Amidst the dazzling universe of stars, a dazzling white dress came striding into the air!
Clad in the Milky Way, her feet stepped on the stars!
Su Shi slowly opened his eyes, and in his eyes seemed to be the evolution of the sea and the stars!
The crowd stared blankly at the upright figure.
There was no sound!
