Chapter 1217 - The Same Longevity as Heaven and Earth
A long-brewing, strange, and grand tribulation.
Its aura alone was enough to make the World Kings feel stifled, and their hair stood on end.
Yet now, a single slash had cut through it!
Everyone looked over at a bit of a loss. Rather, they were dumbfounded.
Even if you’d hit them over the head, they could never have even imagined Su Yi overcoming such a strange and terrifying grand tribulation with such ease.
One slash, and he cleaved through the formation clouds!
The splitting clouds transformed into a rain of light, like a waterfall pouring down from the nine heavens.
“Aren’t you just delivering me a free lunch?” Su Yi laughed and soared into the air.
Boom!
The rain of light filling the skies flooded into his tall, upright figure.
His cultivation base instantly seemed to shatter a barrier. It surged like floodwaters bursting through a dam, surging past the firmament and shaking the stars.
It was a complete metamorphosis and sublimation.
Half a year ago, Su Yi had already achieved perfect foundations in the Imperial Apex Realm. Over the past six months, his cultivation base had fully fused with Dark and Gold Essence.
Now that he’d successfully undergone tribulation, he effectively soared into the heavens in a single bound, going from a worldly emperor to the king of the stars!
Boom!
Within Su Yi’s body, the sound of the Grand Dao rumbled like thunder and reverberated like a bell.
His skin, flesh, blood, sinews, meridians, acupoints, and organs all underwent a rapid transformation.
His cultivation base gathered like mad in his dantian, repeatedly shrinking and condensing into what looked like the rough outline of a black hole.
This was a Grand Dao Black Hole, and it resembled the birth of a star realm!
Meanwhile, his soul seemed to blaze with divine flames as radiant as the sun. They repeatedly expanded and sublimated...
The tribulation light filling the heavens was like the purest, most boundless of vital energies. It was emblazoned with the undying power of the Grand Dao, which Su Yi absorbed to fuel his transformation.
Boom!
The Sea of Chaos boiled over, and waves of the source power of the Laws surged and resonated with Su Yi’s aura.
All of a sudden, strange phenomena appeared throughout the surrounding area.
Flowers fell from the heavens, and golden lotuses bloomed from the earth. Divine radiance fell, and auspicious light rose. All manner of wondrous powers of the Grand Dao rose and fell in waves.
That grand, seemingly holy scene left the World Kings dumbstruck, their hearts coursing with emotion.
“Old Peacock, have you ever seen anyone trigger such an unbelievable phenomenon upon proving their Dao and becoming a World King?” Lu Yan asked in a daze.
Kong Shen shook his head and said softly, “This... is perhaps because he’s proven his Dao atop the Sea of Chaos, or perhaps, Fellow Daoist Su has already divined the most fundamental mysteries of the Dark and Gold Star Realm’s Laws during his time here. Perhaps that’s what lets him resonate with the chaos source’s power.”
The crowd gasped.
If that were the case, just how terrifying were Su Yi’s Profound Unity Realm foundations, for him to accomplish this while proving his Dao?
They couldn’t even imagine it.
When these world kings proved their Daos and entered the Path of Heaven’s Ascension, not one of them had achieved this.
“He overcame an unprecedented tribulation. Thus, he’s triggered unprecedented phenomena!” Lu Yan sighed.
“This old man’s experience is limited, but to the best of my crude knowledge, even out amongst the stars, I’ve never heard of such a thing happening before. It’s simply a miracle!” Meng Changyun spoke with unconcealable excitement.
A moment later, his face filled with reverence, and he said solemnly, “But I don’t think there’s any need for such surprise. This is His Excellency the Temple Master. For him, such things are to be expected.”
Everyone was stunned. To be expected?
“The Temple Master?” Lu Yan said thoughtfully. “Fellow Daoist, might you tell us more about Fellow Daoist Su?”
The others all looked attentive.
All they knew about Su Yi was his name. Meng Changyun and the Heavensdeath Demon Empress aside, no one else knew anything about his background, origins, or past.
“Uh...” Meng Changyun hesitated, then said thoughtfully, “I dare not speak without the Temple Master’s permission.”
This only made the crowd even more curious.
Meng Changyun was a Heavenly Longevity World King, but it seemed he viewed Su Yi with heartfelt respect and awe.
“Relax,” urged the Heavensdeath Demon Empress. “Just pick the details that are okay to share. If Brother Su blames you, I’ll speak up on your behalf.”
In truth, she knew nothing about Su Yi’s life as the Temple Master either, and she was extremely curious.
But Meng Changyun shook his head. “Fellow Daoist Heavensdeath, please don’t make things difficult for me.”
He’d grown shrewd in his old age, and he could tell that his unparalleled charmer had an extraordinary relationship with the Temple Master.
But that didn’t mean he didn’t have principles!
If His Excellency the Temple Master let him speak, he naturally wouldn’t help back anything he knew.
But if His Excellency the Temple master didn’t let him speak, even one word out of turn was a sin!
The Heavensdeath Demon Empress glared hatefully at Meng Changyun, but there was nothing she could say.
Meng Changyun smiled apologetically. “Later on, you’ll surely come to understand just how legendary an existence the Temple Master is. Out amongst the stars, not knowing the Temple Master’s illustrious name is an embarrassment to any cultivator!”
The others found it a shame, but Meng Changyun’s lips were sealed. He said no more on the matter.
Beneath the dome of heaven.
Su Yi’s transformation was still ongoing, and it provoked all manner of strange phenomena. They were immeasurably grand.
Meanwhile, his soul seemed to leave this stretch of heaven and earth to arrive amongst the stars. Worlds big and small instantly appeared in his sea of consciousness in full detail.
Thirty-six worlds and planes clustered around the Wilds, like stars clustering around the moon.
The Wilds stood at the center of a seemingly endless void, empty save for a few scattered worlds.
Su Yi quickly located the Azure Continent. Its Laws were broken and in chaos.
After passing through worlds great and small, he arrived in an ancient, gray and overcast world.
It floated there, seemingly vast beyond limit, shrouded in endless gray. There was no end in sight.
That was... the Netherworld!
Boom!
Suddenly, Su Yi’s soul trembled, and everything he saw disappeared, replaced with something reminiscent of a divine curtain covering the star realm’s Laws.
It was like flowing clouds or flying catkins swathed in chaotic light, reflecting the fluctuations of the Laws in an endless, self-perpetuating cycle.
These were the Laws of the Dark and Gold Star Realm!
This was Su Yi’s first time sensing them with such clarity.
They enveloped the Wilds, as well as the boundless space between them and the other worlds and planes of the Dark and Gold Star Realm.
Boundless. Vast.
And grand!
But before long, Su Yi sensed that the Laws of the Dark and Gold Star Realm were damaged in numerous places, like porcelain covered in cracks!
There was no doubt about it. Those were the marks that mysterious catastrophe had left behind.
Su Yi exerted his will, and instantly, something unbelievable happened.
The Laws of all worlds of the Dark and Gold Star Realm, both great and small, suddenly quivered, as if resonating with Su Yi’s energy.
“My mind and body fused with the Laws, and my Dao resonated with the star realm. Thus, I can ascend to become a king. This is a true, perfect breakthrough....” Su Yi completely understood.
The Temple Master had been right. It was only by fusing his Dao with a star realm’s Laws that he could achieve truly flawless foundations in the World King Realm.
Boom!
Su Yi’s transforming cultivation base rumbled and boomed as he broke smoothly into Heavenly Longevity.
Disregarding everything else, he sat cross-legged in the sky and started solidifying his cultivation base. His entire body was bathed in radiant, holy light.
“He did it!” Lu Yan felt a massive weight lift from his shoulders. The others looked excited too.
All of them were World Kings. How could they fail to realize that Su Yi had already taken his first step onto the Path of Heaven’s Ascension?
The Three Realms of the Path of Heaven’s Ascension were Heavenly Longevity, Oneness, and Cosmic Enlightenment!
“Heavenly Longevity” meant that one’s lifespan was as long as that of heaven and earth.
Upon reaching this realm, the body’s energy transformed, condensing a Grand Dao Chaos Black Hole, reminiscent of the genesis of a star realm.
All an Emperor’s power of the Grand Dao would transform into that of Celestial Laws!
Even the fleshly body and soul would undergo an earth-shaking transformation.
What was a World King?
Someone who could proclaim themselves king of an entire star realm!
And any given star realm encompassed too many lesser planes and worlds to count.
Those who stepped into the World King Realm had unquestionably established themselves at the peak of an entire star realm.
Boom!
The Sea of Chaos churned. Everything resonated, and numerous strange phenomena arose.
Throughout the Wilds, divine radiance surged beneath the dome of heaven. Auspicious light poured down to earth, and all manner of strange and unbelievable phenomena appeared.
Countless cultivators were startled, astonished, and at a complete loss.
“Auspicious omens are descending from the heavens, and the Laws are shifting. Could it be that a change so great as to affect the natural order has taken place?”
The Little Western Paradise.
Buddhist Master Inkstone Heart stood beneath the Bodhi Tree, an uncharacteristic look of surprise on his face.
He could clearly sense that the power of the Laws blanketing the Wilds seemed bursting with newfound, shocking vitality!
“This is unprecedented good fortune, enough to benefit everything and everyone beneath the heavens!” Buddhist Master Inkstone Heart quickly reached this conclusion, his heart already full of excitement.
Who could have triggered such a change?
Don’t tell me... it was Old Monster Su!?
Buddhist Master Inkstone Heart’s snow-white eyebrows rose. This wasn’t at all impossible.
Half a year ago, he received a letter from Su Yi saying that he planned to enter the Graveyard of Fallen Immortals in search of an opportunity to break through. He asked Buddhist Master Inkstone Heart to keep an eye on the Grotto of Abstruse Force in his absence.
It had been half a year since Su Yi’s departure. There’d been no word from him in all this time.
Buddhist Master Inkstone Heart naturally understood that if Su Yi’s expedition went well, he’d be a true World King by the time he returned!
Although Su Yi had yet to return, Buddhist Master Inkstone Heart had a strong premonition that the startling changes affecting the Wilds were somehow connected to him!
Is it really as I imagine? I’ll naturally find out once Old Monster Su returns, Buddhist Master Inkstone Heart thought to himself.
The Nine Extremes Profound Capital.
Ancestor Peng shot out of seclusion and arrived beneath the dome of heaven in a single bound.
He looked around and saw divine radiance swaying and drifting around him. Auspicious clouds surged, and throughout the heavens, the power of the Laws surged and transformed.
He let out a strange shout. “Don’t tell me that the Laws damaged for countless years are going to recover, like a leafless tree in spring?”
He could clearly sense that his cultivation base, which had long stagnated at the peak Profound Unity Realm, was stirring!
The changes were extremely subtle, but he detected them in full detail. This made him completely lose his composure, and his chest heaved violently.
Does this sudden development imply that the long-severed Path of Heaven’s Ascension will soon re-enter this world!?
