Chapter 1377 - Breaking Through
“Li Zhong, a month from now, lead all subordinates who meet Fellow Daoist Su\'s conditions to Mount Clearmoon.”
“Understood!” Li Zhong was happy too, and he assented with a smile.
Mo Qingchou thought for a moment, then added, “Right, we can’t let Fellow Daoist Su assist us in vain. I’ll choose a few presents. When the time comes, I’d like you to deliver them.”
She could no longer hide her delight. “Relationships are always a two-way street. I trust that after this, Fellow Daoist Su will be all the more eager to cooperate with us!”
......
The Red City Daoist Sect.
An old fogey let out a hearty laugh. He felt absolutely grand. “This was the right move! Going forward, we and Fellow Daoist Su will surely have even more opportunities to work toward our mutual benefit.
“And everyone in the Red City Daoist Sect will have an opportunity to rebuild their fleshly body and resume their cultivation. Even in this rapidly changing world, we’ll be able to point our swords at immortality once more!”
The other gathered Red City Daoist Sect higher-ups all beamed with delight.
The old-timer leading the discussion immediately made a decision. “Liu Xing, a month from now, lead every member of our sect at or below the Dao Integration Realm to Mount Clearmoon.
“Remember, you must be polite to Fellow Daoist Su. We cannot be even the slightest bit remiss in our manners.
“Furthermore, select some gifts from our treasury and take them with you. Fellow Daoist Su is doing us a good turn, and we cannot let him leave empty-handed.
The one he called Liu Xing stood, smiled, and inclined his head.
...Similar scenes played out in numerous ancient orthodoxies.
It hadn’t been long since they’d agreed to do their best to help Su Yi locate the Tailor. They wouldn’t have expected that their reward would arrive this quickly. Only a few days had passed, but Su Yi was already willing to aid them!
Even though Su Yi was only helping those at or below the Dao Integration Realm, this was such a wonderful start that it filled the ancient orthodoxies with eagerness and anticipation.
......
As for the Illusory Sword Immortal Tower, the Yellow Springs Demon Mountain, the Hidden Skies Immortal Sect, and the other factions that had already established grudges with Su Yi? This news left them unable to stay calm. They were completely overcome with fury!
“So, that Su person knows fear after all? Or else, why would he try so hard to earn those ancient orthodoxies’ favor?” someone said with a cold laugh.
“This is ultimately just an exchange. Rest assured. Even if they agree to help that Su person, there’s no way those ancient factions will forge an alliance with him!” someone said with conviction.
Everyone already knew that. Still, even if the ancient factions didn’t forge an alliance with Su Yi, after accepting his kindness, how could they turn around to view him with enmity?
Su Yi had effectively reduced the number of factions opposing him!
“Argh. If only we hadn’t participated in the battle of the Violet Heavens Platform. Perhaps then, we could have seized this opportunity too,” someone sighed, overcome with regret.
“Just wait and see. Unless that Su Yi person offers up the secrets of reincarnation, no matter how long he jumps around, he’ll ultimately get what’s coming to him!” someone said through gnashed teeth.
...In summary, the factions hostile to Su Yi all reacted differently, but without exception, all of them were jealous!
Jealous of the factions that had instead agreed to help Su Yi find the Tailor!
After all, who didn’t want to break their curse as soon as possible?
Who didn’t want a new lease on life?
Even the descendants of immortals couldn’t remain calm. They all started discussing their response and considering how to handle Su Yi going forward.
......
As the wind rose and the clouds gathered outside, Su Yi was in seclusion.
Boom!
Resplendent Dao Light fell like a waterfall, flowing over Su Yi’s cross-legged figure and making his aura seem holy and solemn.
Within his body, the outline of his World of the Grand Dao slowly revolved. Its power wove into suns, moons, and stars. Mountains, rivers, and nature in all its facets formed on the world’s surface, as if manifesting the natural development of a planet in an endless, self-perpetuating cycle.
Translucent, crystalline Transcendent-level pills hovered in front of him, each as radiant as the light of a new dawn. Their quality was extraordinary, and they were like a row of stars slowly revolving around Su Yi.
At regular intervals, Su Yi’s aura drew in one of the pills, fusing it into his body, where it transformed into overflowing, dense medicinal power. Their power spread through every last inch of him, flowing through his meridians and reaching his acupoints.
During this process, Su Yi’s vital energy was continuously quenched, tempered, and sublimated...
Su Yi had long since grasped the mysteries of the Cosmic Enlightenment Realm. After all, both the Temple Master and Shen Mu had unique and unprecedented attainments in this realm.
With their memories, Su Yi felt as if he were retreading familiar ground. He’d once stood at the very top. Now, he was seeking even greater heights!
When you stood on the shoulders of giants, you could naturally see even further away. Now, Su Yi “stood” on the shoulders of his past selves. Naturally, he sought a path far beyond theirs!
Just ten days later.
Su Yi refined a batch of Transcendent-level medicine, and his cultivation base broke into the mid-stage Cosmic Enlightenment Realm smoothly and naturally.
In truth, he was deliberately taking his time to solidify and condense his attainments in the Grand Dao, so he was suppressing his cultivation speed. He could have broken through whenever he wanted.
It was only when he reached unprecedented heights in each minor realm that he no longer needed to suppress his growth. When that happened, his cultivation would break free as naturally as water overflowing an overfilled cup.
It was much like when a flower bloomed; butterflies were drawn to it naturally!
Indeed, Transcendent-level divine medicines contain enormous amounts of pure essence of the Grand Dao. It’s colorless and invisible, but it can nourish and elevate itself. It’s truly too wondrous for words!
As Su Yi cultivated, he sensed on a deep, visceral level that the power of these Transcendent pills was like a gentle, silent spring rain nourishing his power of the Grand Dao.
During his cultivation, every Law he controlled—Manifesting Life, Reincarnation, Restricting the Profound, Flying Light, Light of the Universe, and Profound Ruin, among others—underwent further refinement and transformation.
Although these effects were extraordinarily subtle, they continuously built up over time!
Furthermore, Shen Mu’s memories contained ancient tomes describing the mysteries of the Path of Transcendence in elaborate detail.
Thus, Su Yi understood that treasures of the Path of Transcendence, from medicines and materials to rare and precious treasures, all contained extraordinary power of the Grand Dao. They were enormously beneficial to cultivators!
However, both here and in the Epoch of Demonism, it was extremely rare for World Kings to get a chance to cultivate with Transcendent-level resources. They just weren’t qualified.
They certainly couldn’t use them to cultivate on the regular, as Su Yi did. He’d been using Transcendent cultivation resources for a while now.
All of this meant that Su Yi’s cultivation and foundations in the World King Realm were practically firm and terrifying beyond imagination!
Another half a month passed in a flash.
Boom!
The cross-legged Su Yi’s qi rumbled and boomed, as if boiling over. It was in the middle of a shocking transformation. Dao Light surged forth, condensing flowers of the Grand Dao that fell repeatedly around Su Yi.
The sound of the Dao echoed throughout the room, like the natural music of the heavens.
This series of strange phenomena made Su Yi seem like a god or deity, holy and extraordinary.
The late-stage Cosmic Enlightenment Realm! He’d broken through again!
Su Yi’s whole body felt light and airy, as if he’d just drunk immortal dew. His skin, blood, flesh, organs, acupoints, meridians, and even his essence, qi, and spirit had all transformed and sublimated.
It was a sensation absolutely too wondrous to describe in words.
Less than a month, and I broke through two small realms in rapid succession. These unparalleled Transcendent pills really are too wonderful for words.
Su Yi opened his eyes and sensed the changes to his cultivation. Even he couldn’t help but sigh.
He was overcome with delight that he’d managed to rescue the Divine Replenishment Furnace in time. If he’d let the Sword of the Nine Hells eat it, he would have been desecrating a heavenly treasure, provoking the wrath of both men and gods!
However, after taking inventory of his Transcendent-level medicinal ingredients, much of Su Yi’s delight faded. His smile turned into a grimace.
He’d poured practically his entire fortune into refining Transcendent-level medicine, only to use seventy percent of it up within a month!
And I’m still just a World King. When I step onto the Path of Transcendence, how many resources will I need to satisfy the demands of my cultivation?
Su Yi rubbed his forehead.
Nevermind that just yet. Next, I’ll have to start preparing to break into the Path of Transcendence, thought Su Yi.
Neither the Temple Master nor Shen Mu had ever stepped onto the Path of Transcendence. It was completely unfamiliar to Su Yi too.
Fortunately, Shen Mu’s memories contained an enormous wealth of ancient tones. A portion of them described the mysteries of Transcendence in elaborate detail, including suitable legacies and cultivation techniques.
That aside, during his conversations with Sword Immortal Qingshi and the Universal Emptiness Sword Buddha, Su Yi had gained a complete understanding of the Path of Transcendence.
Thus, Su Yi wasn’t worried about his next steps.
It’ll be about two months before the complete Path of Transcendence re-enters the Laws, thought Su Yi, sinking into contemplation. Currently, modern-day Cosmic Enlightenment World Kings can only find opportunities to break through in the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone.
But the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone is the home base of numerous ancient orthodoxies, and they say there are true immortal revenants there. If I seek good fortune there now, I’ll surely face greater danger than ever before...
Here, Su Yi reached a decision. If he reached the very pinnacle of the Cosmic Enlightenment Realm and his mental state was without flaw, he wouldn’t mind paying the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone a visit. He could seek out good fortune and attempt a breakthrough then.
If conditions weren’t perfect and his preparations weren’t in order, all he had to do was wait. In two months, there’d be absolutely no need to visit the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone. He could just find the opportunity he needed to break through outside it.
Su Yi rose, took out his wicker chair, and sprawled out comfortably before taking out a jug of wine and drinking with relish.
I just broke through two small realms in rapid succession. Now that I’m in the late-stage Cosmic Enlightenment Realm, I’ve broken through in terms of my mastery of my Laws of the Grand Dao, too. Of them, Restricting the Profound, Manifesting Life, Flying Light, and the Light of the Universe have already reached the pinnacle of perfection within the World King level.
Even my mastery of the Laws of Reincarnation and Profound Ruin has improved. I’ve already achieved basic proficiency.
I just don’t know how much stronger I’ve become...
Su Yi silently compared and pondered, but in the end, to his frustration, he realized that not even he could gauge his strength.
