Su Yi's heart, like a small sun suspended in midair, glowed brightly in a vibrant shade of red. It radiated a dazzling, crimson light, pulsating with life. It was connected to his flesh, thriving and bursting with vitality, brimming with youthful energy and a flourishing spark of life!
In the void, a brilliant radiance shone, dazzling to the eyes.
Su Yi sat cross-legged, emanating a pure and sacred aura. His bare body was flawless, without any imperfections.
At this moment, the aura emanating from Su Yi began to steadily rise, roaring and surging.
As time passed in the outside world, half a month had already gone by in the blink of an eye.
On the calm void, there were many fierce and ferocious birds soaring and flying across the empty space.
As the ferocious bird spread its wings to several dozen zhangs, several figures sat cross-legged on its back, undisturbed by the roaring airflow around them. They remained still like solid rocks, not even a single strand of hair or fold in their garments stirred.
"Up ahead is the Divine Sword School. It is said that this time, many talented young disciples have emerged within the school. Some have a mixed bloodline of half-human and half-monster, some possess extraordinary talents, and there are even those who have received unmatched benefits left behind by the Divine Sword School's founder. We should pay close attention when the time comes."
Upon this ferocious bird mount, a man in his fifties sat cross-legged. He had the appearance of a mature elder, wearing a flowing robe adorned with embroidered patterns resembling badges. It seemed to signify a certain status or position.
On the elderly man's slender face, there was a look of contemplation, as if he was pondering something deeply. His eyes flickered with an uncertain glimmer.
At this moment, if Su Yi were here, one would surely recognize him at first glance. This person was none other than Wang Quande, the Dharma Protector who was sent by the Sacred Mountain to Man City in the past. He was also the one who plung Su Yi down the cliff of ten thousand feet.
"Su Yi, is it just a coincidence that they have the same name and surname..."
Wang Quande murmured to himself, his heart filled with thoughts. He had long forgotten that name, considering it insignificant, as if it had never been etched in his heart.
But recently, news had come to the Divine Sword School that the name of a certain Su Yi had unintentionally reached the ears of Wang Quande.
The champion of the Grand Swordsmanship Competition from the Divine Sword School, Su Yi, ascended to the seventh level of the Heavenly Stairs. Their age seemed to be quite similar, which made Wang Quande suddenly reminisce about that insignificant ant from before.
Wang Quande had joined the group that came to the Divine Sword School this time in order to personally see if Su Yi was indeed the insignificant ant he had once killed.
But Wang Quande thought to himself, however, he couldn't help but feel that it was simply impossible.
A mere insignificant servant ant, how could he become the top of the young generation in the Divine Sword School in such a short time? It must be a mere coincidence of having the same name and surname.
However, despite thinking this way, Wang Quande still decided to come and see for himself.
In front of the Divine Sword School, the sound of breaking wind resounded, and in the distance, many flying demon beasts approached.
Situ Liuyun, Elder Yu Changqing, Elder Shangguan Hu, and many other senior experts from the Divine Sword School, appeared in front of the school at this moment. They gazed into the distant void, as if waiting for something.
"The people from Sacred Mountain must have a purpose for coming. They claim it's to discuss matters regarding the Saint Martial Assembly, but I suspect they want to gather information and act accordingly," Situ Liuyun murmured, his gaze fixed on the depths of the void.
The mighty elders of the Divine Sword School nodded, their brows slightly furrowed. The arrival of the people from Sacred Mountain, they feared, was not solely for the purpose of discussing matters related to the Saint Martial Assembly.
In the mysterious void, time passing slowly, Su Yi stood firm, with wisps of crimson light swirling around his body.
Faintly, one could see the rise and fall of Su Yi's chest, beating to a special rhythm. It was neither fast nor slow, but resolute and powerful. If one were to listen carefully, it would resemble the pounding of a celestial drum.
It was a mysterious and peculiar sight. It seemed that with each beat of Su Yi's chest, the eerie void would tremble in response with a resounding boom.
A new breath of energy emanated from within Su Yi, surging and soaring, until it finally subsided upon reaching the seventh level of the Yuan Spirit Realm.
At that moment, Su Yi's breath calmed down, and he opened his eyes. A flicker of crimson light gleamed in his eyes, then subsided.
Staring at the dim void around him, Su Yi seemed a bit disoriented. Soon, he closed his eyes slightly, delving into the exploration of his inner spiritual power.
After a moment, Su Yi finally shifted his gaze, his eyes filled with surprise and a hint of delight.
Su Yi was astonished to find that his heart had transformed into a round sphere, like a miniature sun, radiating ancient, fiery energy. It pulsated with a resounding strength, teeming with vibrant life, limitless and full of vitality.
At this moment, the cultivation aura emanating from his body had also reached the seventh level of the Yuan Spirit Realm, shattering through in one fell swoop.
Immediately, Su Yi chuckled, filled with joy as he burst into laughter.
"Yun Lingfeng, now I can 'thank you' for your attack!"
Su Yi's laughter came to a halt as he recalled everything that had happened.
Su Yi, caught off guard by Yun Lingfeng, was stabbed with a divine weapon left behind by the founder of the Divine Sword School. It was incredibly terrifying and unstoppable, even his Indestructible Vajra Body couldn't withstand it, leaving his heart pierced.
However, to his surprise, in the end, he unknowingly cultivated the third layer of the Heavenly Sun Heart, eventually transforming his own body into the Chaotic Yuan Demonic Body.
"Darkness and light, rising from the roots of the sky and entering the moon's cave, breaking through chaos and plucking the pearl rice. With the transformation of yin and yang and the five elements, everything is born. Energy takes form, becoming the spirit of all things. It begins with the heavens, but the heavens eventually take it away. Without the path of turning gold into elixir, if one desires to cultivate the great path of the heavenly yang, one must abandon this yin and yang... Obtaining it leads to the path of life, losing it leads to the path of death... Escaping the cycle of rebirth, transcending the mortal world and entering the realm of the sacred..."
The Heavenly Sun Heart, if one wishes to cultivate it, is extraordinarily dangerous. If one were to fail, they would face a calamity directly. However, if one succeeds, they will enter the path of life, transcending the mortal world and entering the realm of the sacred.
Su Yi had always possessed the cultivation method for the third layer of the Chaotic Yuan Demonic Body's Heavenly Sun Heart. Since becoming the Chaotic Yuan Demonic Body, Su Yi had desired to cultivate the third layer of the Heavenly Sun Heart. However, he only had a partial understanding of it and time was limited. It was also extremely dangerous. Unexpectedly, due to a fortunate coincidence, he managed to survive a mortal crisis caused by Yun Lingfeng's sword. As a result, he directly cultivated the Heavenly Sun Heart.
Su Yi reminisced, recalling that in the end, Divine Sword Valley collapsed and everything was destroyed. His vitality was fading away, but his spirit seemed to remain alive.
Finally, there seemed to be a mysterious vitality permeating from within him, allowing him to recover and be reborn, like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
And then, inside the mysterious space, there was movement, allowing him to seize the opportunity to cultivate and become the Heavenly Sun Heart.
Even during the process, there was even that mysterious vitality assisting him.
In other words, if it weren't for that mysterious vitality, everything would still be unknown.
"It seems like there is someone, the voice sounds very familiar..."
Su Yi muttered to himself, his gaze lowered in deep thought. During this time, he seemed to have heard familiar voices before. It appeared that there were other people in this eerie place.
Su Yi raised his gaze, surveying the eerie and dim space all around him. It was hazy and there seemed to be nothing, except for a broken and incomplete sword and a few space bags that had fallen not far away.
"Is anyone there? Can you hear what I'm saying?"
Su Yi spoke up and asked tentatively, but unfortunately, no one responded.
"Could I have misheard?" murmured Su Yi, speaking to himself in a hushed tone.
"Kid, do you think it looks good to be naked?"
Suddenly, at that very moment, a faint voice was heard, reaching Su Yi's ears.
