Just as Zhang Xuan was considering whether there was any other way to save Xue Qianqiu, the space above the Northern Sea flickered, and Xue Qianqiu emerged from the depths of the sea.
"Damn it, damn it … Su Yin, I swear that I'll kill you!"
He thought that he would be able to obtain the Qilin Monarch's Heart with his Qilin Arm as long as he entered Northern Yuans. However, not only did he fail to obtain the treasure, he even lost his possession. The more he thought about it, the more furious he felt.
This Su Yin was like his nemesis, able to restrain him every single time. There was nothing he could do.
"Junior Brother, what happened?"
At this moment, the space trembled, and the silhouette of a lady suddenly appeared before him. Seeing Zhang Xuan in such a state, she frowned.
Xue Qianqiu hurriedly bowed. "Paying respects to Senior Chan Gui! It's nothing much. I just suffered a little when I was trying to obtain the Qilin Heart … "
The person who appeared before him was the other disciple of the Firmament Pavilion, Fairy Chan Gui!
Fairy Chan Gui did not dwell on the matter. "Teacher has asked me to accompany you to the Five Elemental Sacred Ground. Can you go now?"
"This …"
Xue Qianqiu's face paled.
Under normal circumstances, he should have been able to reach grade-6 Saint after obtaining the Qilin Monarch's Heart. At that time, he would be able to invite the other party to the Five Elemental Sacred Ground. However, in his current state, it would be useless for him to go now.
"I'm injured, and I'm missing an arm. I can only go after I recover from my injuries …" Xue Qianqiu said.
"Recover from your injuries?" Fairy Chan Gui extended her Spiritual Perception and quickly scanned Zhang Xuan's condition. "Your injuries are indeed severe. Furthermore, you've lost an arm, and your vitality has been greatly damaged. Ordinary treasures won't be able to heal you in a short period of time. Unless …"
"Unless what?" Xue Qianqiu asked.
Fairy Chan Gui said, "Unless you obtain one of the Three Treasures of the Yellow Springs, the Bridge of Helplessness! If you use the bridge as an arm, not only will you be able to recover from your injuries, you'll be able to advance to grade-6 pinnacle, or even become an Overlord! "
"The Bridge of Helplessness?"
Fairy Chan Gui nodded. "It is equivalent to the skeleton of the Underworld Saint. It is one of the most precious magic treasures in the world. If you succeed, your cultivation will definitely surpass Senior Sister's. If you meet any of the Five Elements Saints, you won't have to worry."
Xue Qianqiu was puzzled, "What we cultivate is the Dao of Cang Qiong, which is completely different from the Dao of Yellow Springs. One is heaven and the other is earth. How can I refine the Bridge of Helplessness?"
"Haha!" Fairy Chan Gui laughed. "It seems that Junior Brother still doesn't understand how terrifying the Thousand Year Great Dao that you cultivate is! Time was everywhere. Whether it was the sky or the earth, nothing could escape the corrosion and erosion of time! If it were you in the past, you might not have been able to refine the Bridge of Helplessness. But now … even though you've suffered a great loss and suffered heavy injuries, you must have also obtained great benefits, right? "
"Yes!" Xue Qianqiu nodded. "My comprehension of time has deepened significantly … As long as my body recovers, I'll be able to push for a breakthrough to the sixth rank without relying on external help."
The moment he fell into the Ruoshui, he had comprehended the concept of 'time is fleeting'. His comprehension of the Thousand Year Great Dao had deepened, and he could even trace back to the river of time.
This kind of comprehension was definitely a qualitative leap for him. Normally, it would be impossible to achieve without a thousand years of accumulation. Yet, he had succeeded in such a short period of time.
"With your comprehension, the Bridge of Helplessness might not be weak, but it won't be able to harm you. As long as you refine it, the two laws of the Heavens and Earth will merge, and your strength will skyrocket."
Fairy Chan Gui explained.
Xue Qianqiu said, "Then … where should I find the Bridge of Helplessness? What should I do? "
If he wanted to take revenge, he had to raise his strength as soon as possible. In the current situation, the Bridge of Helplessness was obviously the best solution. If that was the case, there was nothing to worry about.
With Senior Sister Chan Gui, who was at the peak of the sixth rank, if the Masters of the Laws did not make a move, who could compete with her?
"If we rope in the Five Elements Sacred Ground, the Underworld Saint will definitely do the same. The person in charge of this matter should be the Underworld Saint. We just have to set up an ambush at the Ruoshui River and wait for him to appear. It will be easy to kill him!" Fairy Chan Gui said.
From her tone, it seemed like she had a plan in advance.
"Alright! But … "
Xue Qianqiu nodded and hesitated. "If we kill the Underworld Saint's disciple openly, he will definitely be unhappy … How about this, we should disguise ourselves as Su Yin …"
Although the Cang Qiong teacher and the Underworld Saint were not close, they did not fall out with each other. If they really killed the Underworld Saint's disciple, they would definitely be unhappy.
"Mm, I have the same idea. If we kill the Underworld Saint with Su Yin's appearance in the Five Elements Sacred Ground, the Immortal Realm will be in chaos no matter what the result is. When the Underworld Saint finds trouble with them, the Cang Qiong Faction can just watch from the sidelines!"
Fairy Chan Gui nodded.
Although the Underworld Saint had cut ties with his original body, it would definitely be unhappy if they were to refine his Bridge of Helplessness.
It would be best if someone could be the scapegoat.
"Then let's go and prepare …"
Xue Qianqiu consumed a pill to heal his injuries. With a slight shake, he and Fairy Chan Gui disappeared from the spot.
…
"Alright, the two of you should stop fighting for now. I don't have any good ideas on how to treat Empress Peacock either …"
Su Yin had thought of many methods, but none of them had a success rate of more than twenty percent. Thus, he could only stop the two of them.
Perhaps, when his cultivation reached grade-6, he would have more ideas, but for now, he really did not have any.
"Hmph!"
Hearing that Zhang Xuan was unable to treat Empress Peacock either, the Phoenix Empress heaved a sigh of relief and stopped her attack.
"Is it really impossible?"
The Phoenix Monarch's face paled.
The young man had created miracles time and time again, so he had great confidence in him. In the end, he received such news.
"Un. I am still lacking some treasures. If I can succeed, the chances of success will increase significantly …" Su Yin said.
Without the Underworld Saint's Three Treasures, the chances of curing the Phoenix Empress Peacock was less than twenty percent. More importantly, regardless of whether he succeeded or not, he would be greatly exhausted, and it would be difficult for him to recover in a short period of time.
In less than ten hours, the sacred ground that he had established would be viewed by the entire Immortal Realm … He could not afford to fail!
Thus, even if he could save the Phoenix Empress Peacock, it would not be now.
"What treasures are you lacking? Tell me, and I'll look for them …" the Phoenix Monarch said.
"This …" Su Yin shook his head. "Even if you are the Phoenix Monarch, it will be difficult for you to find this treasure. Forget it, let's not talk about it for now. Do you want to take Empress Peacock away or continue to stay here?"
"Of course, I'll take her away!"
The Phoenix Monarch said.
The Phoenix Empress already knew about this place. If he did not take Empress Peacock away, she would send someone to kill him.
"Feng Wuyou, I dare you to take her away …" the Phoenix Empress said furiously.
"Forget it, I'll take her with me. If I have the chance to see that treasure, I'll be able to treat her …"
Knowing that 'Xiaoru' would die sooner or later in the hands of the Phoenix Monarch, Su Yin could only speak up. At the same time, he grabbed the coffin and Empress Peacock into the Origin Energy Pearl.
Even though it was not as good as the Divine Beast Diagram, the Saint Spiritual Energy it contained could still prolong Empress Peacock's life. It would not be a problem for her to maintain her life for three to five thousand years.
"Thank you …" the Phoenix Monarch heaved a sigh of relief. His eyes shone with gratitude.
It was all thanks to Zhang Xuan. Otherwise, putting aside saving Empress Peacock, he might have been pummeled as well.
Everyone said that tigresses were fearsome, but the same could be said for phoenixes …
He really had no idea how Song Yu managed to tame his daughter to have so many close female friends.
"Let's go!"
With this matter resolved, Su Yin glanced at the God Beast Diagram. He knew that with his current strength, even if he wanted to investigate it, he wouldn't be able to find anything. Thus, he no longer hesitated. Controlling the leaf, he walked out of the cave.
He did not have much time left. He had to raise his cultivation as soon as possible. As he walked, he fell into deep thought. What did Xue Qianqiu comprehend that allowed him to move freely in and out of the Ruoshui River?
Even though he had caused Xue Qianqiu to suffer greatly this time, Xue Qianqiu's cultivation had also improved significantly. If he did not find a way to catch up to Xue Qianqiu, he might not be so lucky the next time they met.
The fact that Xue Qianqiu was able to move freely in the Ruoshui River must have something to do with the Great Path of Time. On the other hand, I have studied the Eternal Sands of Time and hastened the maturation of the Parasol Tree, so I have a certain understanding of the Great Path of Time as well … Perhaps, I might be able to deduce something from it!
The scene of Xue Qianqiu falling into the river replayed in Zhang Xuan's mind time and time again. The Great Path of Time that Xue Qianqiu had comprehended before he left also spread across his mind, but for some reason, he was unable to find a suitable connection point.
"The Great Path of Time is a branch of the Great Path of Time. Even the Firmament Saint was unable to comprehend it, let alone you …"
Knowing Zhang Xuan's thoughts, Yang Xuan said.
Su Yin sighed deeply.
Indeed!
If the Great Path of Time could be comprehended so easily, Xue Qianqiu would not have been the only one who had managed to do so over the years.
In fact, his talent was still slightly lacking compared to Xue Qianqiu's.
Su Yin pondered for a moment longer, but he was still unable to find a breakthrough point. Just as he was about to give up, Dahei's voice sounded by his ear. "Master, I've succeeded!"
Zhang Xuan hurriedly turned his gaze over and saw that the black donkey that had been following him since the Heaven Origin World had already morphed into the form of a Qilin. It was majestic and powerful, and its aura was unfathomable. Auspicious clouds surrounded it, making it seem as if an auspicious beast had descended upon the world.
Upon seeing Zhang Xuan looking over, Dahei snorted gleefully and said, "I'm already at grade-6 pinnacle now. I'm not the slightest bit inferior to Xiao Wu!"
Su Yin nodded in response.
He could tell that after assimilating the Qilin God Emperor's heart and the energy that the Qilin God Emperor had left behind, Donkey was already on par with Xiao Wu, comparable to a grade-6 pinnacle Saint.
This meant that there were already three cultivators who had reached grade-6 pinnacle on his side.
Dahei, Xiao Wu, and … the Origin Energy Pearl!
There were also two grade-5 pinnacle Origin Energy Pearls, and they were the Origin Energy Pearl and the True Dragon Sword.
As for Zhang Xuan, he was only at grade-4 pinnacle, making him the weakest of the bunch.
Dahei said, "By the way, Master, I've collected quite a bit of Xue Qianqiu's blood essence in the Qilin's arm. Do you think it's useful?"
The Qilin's limbs had been refined by Xue Qianqiu, and they were identical to his own arm. Since they had been severed, there was naturally quite a bit of blood left in them.
Su Yin's eyes lit up. "Give it to me!"
The blood essence of a Saint might be useless to others, but it was of great help to him. Back then, he had borrowed the blood of the Dragon Emperor to obtain the power that only the experts of the Dragon Tribe possessed.
He had also borrowed the blood of Sword Sage and Casanova to unleash the power of laws.
Whoosh!
Dahei raised its claw, and the blood essence flew over. There were a total of five drops, and each drop contained a tremendous amount of power.
Su Yin casually caught them.
As expected of the blood essence of a grade-5 pinnacle Saint. Each drop was as heavy as a mountain, and they were smooth and round like blood-colored pearls.
Zhang Xuan took out one of them and extracted it using the purification method of Agriculture Sage. A moment later, a unique law spread throughout his body.
Boom!
Su Yin punched forward.
The punch seemed slow, but in an instant, it appeared hundreds of meters away and landed on the cave wall, causing rocks to fly everywhere.
"Is this the Thousand Years Path?"
Su Yin's face was solemn.
As expected of the path that even the Firmament Saint valued. It was indeed extraordinary. The power that he had comprehended in the eternal sands of time was reflected here, and it was even more detailed and complex.
He punched forward, trying to comprehend the power of laws.
"You can comprehend the Path like this?"
"This is the terror of the Xiantian Constitution..."
"Of course, it also has to do with his comprehension of the Time Path. If he didn't understand it at all, even if he had the power of laws, he wouldn't be able to use it!"
Yang Xuan and the others were helpless when they saw this scene.
Different people's talents were really different.
If it were them, even if they gave their blood essence, they wouldn't be able to use the power of laws. However, this young man could easily do it and even comprehend it. No wonder he could comprehend thirty-six professions in just ten years. How heaven-defying!
Ignoring the thoughts of the teachers, Su Yin channeled his power and punched continuously. As he used more and more of the power of laws, his comprehension of the Thousand Years Path became stronger and stronger.
"Although I used the Three Autumns Sword before, I only understood the form but not the meaning. So that's how it is..."
When he was undergoing the tribulation to become a Saint, he had used the Three Autumns Sword against the Dragon Emperor. At that time, he had borrowed the power of the eternal sands of time, but he could only use it without understanding it. Now, as he refined Xue Qianqiu's blood essence, the sword technique became clearer and clearer.
Using the sword technique as a foundation to comprehend the Time Path...
Although the difficulty was high, it was equivalent to taking a shortcut.
Soon, a drop of blood essence was used up.
Two drops!
Three drops!
Four drops!
For an hour, Su Yin stood on the leaf and quietly comprehended the Thousand Years Path. His comprehension of the Thousand Years Path became stronger and stronger, and he knew more and more.
Stones from other mountains could be used to polish jade.
He didn't want to become a Thousand Years Saint, but... he wanted to know himself and his enemy.
Only by understanding the rules that the other party was good at could he teach them a good lesson and make them a qualified ATM.
"This is the last drop of blood. If I don't understand why the Thousand Years Path and the Weak Water Path can fuse together, I won't have the chance..."
After absorbing the power of laws from the last drop of blood, Su Yin looked at the Weak Water Path in front of him again.
The water was clear, and he could see the bottom clearly.
"He could comprehend it because of the pressure between life and death. Perhaps, I can find the trick from it..."
A thought popped up in his mind. Su Yin took a deep breath and stepped down from the lotus leaf. He walked straight toward the clear river in front of him.
If he didn't enter life and death, how could he stimulate his potential?
Time didn't allow him to delay any longer. He could only take a risk!
