Chapter 25, Dao Palace, Second Heaven! [New book, please read!]
Qin Yao rushed up from behind and whispered, "Your Highness, should we go around her?"
"This place is rather remote. It might not be appropriate to run into a disciple being secretly trained by some powerful organization who is breaking through here."
Yan Ruyu remained silent for a few seconds.
Logically speaking, Qin Yao is right.
Right now, scouting locations is the most important thing.
But the lingering Daoist aura still trembled slightly in the air, lingering for a long time.
A cultivator with a special physique who can resonate with the heavens and earth would be a genius cultivated as a core disciple in any force.
If it's a rogue cultivator...
"Let's go take a look."
Yan Ruyu made her decision, her voice clear and melodious, and said, "If they are disciples of a powerful force, then so be it."
"But if he is a rogue cultivator... such talent might be worth befriending."
She didn't finish her sentence.
But Qin Yao and the three old women all understood the hidden meaning in their prince's words.
They are desperately short of talent!
The group changed direction and flew low towards the source of the fluctuations.
Inside the valley, Su Ye was still unaware of Yan Ruyu and the others approaching from the outside world.
After his mind was stabilized, the last trace of the medicinal power of the sacred fruit was still circulating in his meridians.
This amount of medicinal power is normally insufficient to open the second divine treasure, but if combined with the full operation of the innate Dao embryo, it is not impossible to open another gate.
Opportunities on the path of cultivation are fleeting; once the medicinal power of the sacred fruit dissipates, it is unknown when one will find such a blessing again.
He withdrew his consciousness from the spiritual repository of his heart and turned it towards the "kidneys" of the five internal organs.
The kidneys govern water and belong to the water element in the Five Elements theory, forming a balance of water and fire with the fire element of the heart.
Using the divine power of the Nine Yang Scripture as a guide, the last bit of golden medicinal power of the sacred fruit was poured into the kidney's spiritual storage.
The resistance was much greater than that of the Heart's Divine Treasury.
The medicinal power of the sacred fruit was nearly exhausted, and the Dao sound of the innate Dao embryo had also been released in large quantities during the first breakthrough.
However, Su Ye's Sea of Wheels Secret Realm has undergone nine extreme transformations, and its current foundation is terrifyingly solid, with the quality of its divine power far surpassing that of others in the same realm.
About fifteen minutes later, the gate to the kidney's spiritual essence was slowly opened with a low, muffled thud.
Among the five internal organs, the kidneys lit up with the azure divine light, which complemented the crimson divine light of the heart.
Water and fire were initially harmonized, and two divine powers of different attributes formed an incredibly delicate balance within the body.
The Nine Yang Scripture's circulation speed increased by 20%, and its divine power surged once again!
The second level of the Dao Palace is complete!
The heart and kidneys, two sacred sites, each radiate divine light, with a wisp of primordial fire essence quietly burning within the heart's sacred site.
The medicinal power of the sacred fruit was completely exhausted, but it also brought Su Ye a reward that satisfied him.
Nine transformations on the other shore, the cycle of rebirth is complete!
The Dao Palace opened two divine treasures in succession, and its combat power increased many times over compared to before its seclusion.
The aftershocks of the breakthrough had not yet subsided when the look of satisfaction on Su Ye's face froze.
The divine sense after the Nine Transformations of the Other Shore far surpassed that of before.
He sensed that several auras were heading towards the valley where he was.
The cultivation levels of three of them far surpassed his, indicating they were at least at the Fourth Extreme Secret Realm.
The fact that the opponent appeared at the crucial moment right after his breakthrough indicates that it wasn't just a coincidence...
It was attracted by the extraordinary phenomenon of his breakthrough to the Dao Palace Secret Realm!
Su Ye's gaze sharpened.
He did not panic, nor did he remove the concealment formation and flee in haste.
Although the person who arrived was fast, there was no murderous intent in their eyes.
At least not at the moment.
He slowly rose, his gaze piercing through the concealment array, coldly looking towards the source of the aura.
As the daylight broke, the silhouettes of several figures gradually became clear on the mountainside at the valley entrance...
In the distance, the old woman's low voice could be faintly heard, as if she were saying something to the woman in the center.
Su Ye took out the Flame Pearl with his left hand and the Dragon Transformation Spear from the Sea of Bitterness with his right hand, his expression gradually darkening.
At the mouth of the valley, seven figures gradually became clear.
Su Ye remained seated, ready to unleash the remaining dragon-transforming killing energy within him at any moment.
The white-clad woman at the head of the group was at around the second level of the fourth realm, the two old women were of similar strength to her, and the other four maids were not a threat.
If a fight were to break out, the broken spear could be used to cripple one of them unexpectedly. With his newly broken Dao Palace level two and the Minor Destiny Technique, he might be able to hold his own against the remaining two at the Fourth Extreme Realm.
But he did not sense any murderous intent.
The woman in white stopped ten feet away from the valley entrance and did not approach further. Her gaze passed through the light barrier of the concealment array and landed on him, more out of curiosity than scrutiny.
Su Ye's mind raced.
Since the enemy didn't directly break through the formation, it means they weren't there to kill and rob. Continuing to hide inside the formation would only make them seem guilty.
He raised his hand and waved it away, removing the distorted light and shadow array in the valley.
The morning light shone completely into the valley.
Seven pairs of eyes simultaneously fell on Su Ye.
Qin Yao stood to the left and behind Yan Ruyu. When she saw the face revealed after the array dissipated, she was slightly taken aback.
She had thought that what awaited them was an ordinary, uneventful performance, but she never expected it to be such a young man.
His blue and white Taoist robe fluttered gently in the mountain breeze. His face was as gentle as jade, and he was incredibly handsome. He was the most handsome man she had ever seen in her life.
Those eyes were especially captivating; they were so calm.
His calm demeanor was unlike that of someone who would react when seven strangers had just blocked the mountain gate.
A hint of surprise also flashed in Yan Ruyu's eyes.
He looked no older than eighteen or nineteen, but his demeanor was clearly not that of a young man.
He didn't even blink when faced with the pressure from three cultivators at the fourth level of the cultivation realm.
With just one glance, she put away the slight disdain in her heart.
This person is no ordinary individual.
What stirred Yan Ruyu's heart even more was another feeling.
From the moment she stepped into the valley, the Azure Lotus bloodline within her body began to tremble gently.
It was very faint, almost imperceptible, yet she couldn't ignore it.
She glanced at Su Ye again subconsciously, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes before disappearing.
Just then, Yan Ruyu's gaze fell on the broken spear in Su Ye's right hand.
What truly made her pupils constrict slightly was the lingering Daoist aura on the spear.
The killing intent had long been worn away by time, leaving only a trace, but this trace made the two old women behind her change their expressions at the same time.
"Dragon Transformation Soldier..."
The old woman on the right stared at the broken spear for a full three breaths before speaking to Yan Ruyu in a secret, telepathic manner.
"The ancient script on the spear is a demon race's sacrificial incantation. The owner of this item should be a demon general in the Dragon Transformation Realm."
"Although it is broken and its spiritual essence is less than one-tenth of what it was, if the remaining killing intent is activated, the power of a single strike would be enough to threaten the four corners of the earth."
Yan Ruyu nodded slightly, without replying.
She had another layer of judgment in her mind.
This person not only has a special physique, but also wields a Dragon Transformation Weapon that can threaten the Four Extreme Realms.
This explains why he showed no fear in front of them.
After a few moments of silence, Su Ye spoke first: "What brings you all here uninvited?"
Yan Ruyu secretly praised him in her heart.
If it were an ordinary Dao Palace cultivator, facing three cultivators at the Fourth Extreme Realm with their entourage suddenly blocking the door, they would either be panicked and flustered or try to put on a brave face.
This person neither showed weakness nor acted aggressively.
