Comprehension Ability: I Come From the Great Emperor Family
Chapter 169 - 157: Dao Heart Damaged! Fusion, Celestial Fury!

Chapter 169: Chapter 157: Dao Heart Damaged! Fusion, Celestial Fury!

Upon sensing Su Changqing’s indifferent gaze, fear welled up in Xiao Fan’s eyes.

Although Su Changqing was only at the Divine Body realm, he brought a profound sense of powerlessness from within Xiao Fan.

It wasn’t oppression from strength, but rather a dimension-reducing blow from a level of talent.

Watching Su Changqing, who stepped on the Killing Array golden dragon and bore the ancient Dao diagram, Xiao Fan understood.

If Su Changqing did not die, he would never surpass him for the rest of his life.

No matter how high his cultivation became in the future, there would always be the shadow of today’s Su Changqing looming over his Dao Heart.

"Such audacity!"

At that moment, Fang Lin’s voice filled with overwhelming murderous intent echoed from outside the valley.

The Prince of Xiao Family, his grandson, had his limbs mercilessly crushed right under his nose!

At the time of arriving at the Wu family, he confidently assured the Xiao and Fang families that there wouldn’t be any issues, and they would return triumphant.

But now, not only had they lost the Heaven-Covering Array, they hadn’t comprehended much of the Great Emperor’s Killing Array either.

Moreover, Xiao Fan’s limbs were utterly ruined, and even if they could be healed, there would undoubtedly be lingering ailments.

Such an outcome, how could he face going back?

Thinking about returning to the Eastern Domain and facing the Fang family’s surprise and the Xiao family’s reprimand, Fang Lin couldn’t help his rising anger.

"Wu De! We came across domains for friendly exchange and mutual advancement!"

"Yet you all were so ruthlessly aggressive, breaking my grandson’s limbs. Your Wu family must give an explanation for this!"

Fang Lin looked at Wu De with eyes filled with fury.

The people of the Fang family beside him also stared angrily, showing indignation.

"Hey, don’t blame me, Brother Fang." Wu De crossed his arms and replied with a faint smile, "I clearly said back then, each should comprehend their own, don’t fight and spoil the harmony."

"It was you who suggested letting the youths solve their own matters."

"So now, I agreed with Brother Fang’s suggestion, and it turns out I was wrong?"

The Wu family crowd upon hearing this also showed a gleeful expression.

What does it mean to lift a stone only to drop it on one’s own foot?

Hey, this is it!

The Fang family’s raised hand ended up slapping their own face, making the Wu family feel quite delighted.

"You..."

Fang Lin’s face turned green and red alternately, but he was speechless and couldn’t refute a word.

He initially thought Xiao Fan would undoubtedly win; thus, he acted this way. But who would have known...

Fang Lin glanced at Xiao Fan in the pool of blood, and a gloomy expression flashed across his face.

He understood well, it wasn’t his fault this time, nor was it Xiao Fan’s fault.

It was Su Changqing’s terrifying perception...

Facing such a monster, let alone Xiao Fan, even he would likely be crushed if he stepped onto the stage.

"Open the array!"

Fang Lin took a deep look at Su Changqing and then strode towards the valley.

Wu De chuckled and waved his hand lightly, and the array within the valley instantly opened.

Fang Lin carefully lifted Xiao Fan, stopping the incessant flow of blood from his wounds, and fed him a precious pill.

After a simple treatment, Fang Lin took Xiao Fan out of the valley.

"Uncle Wu."

In the valley, after Xiao Fan left, Su Changqing pointed to the golden dragon beneath him and hesitantly asked:

"The contest is over; may I continue comprehending for a while longer?"

Su Changqing didn’t plan to understand the Killing Array fully but intended to record it first and slowly review it later.

He had been away from Little Immortal Sect for almost two months.

The Celestial Demon Pool was about to open; he did not have much time to waste here.

"Hahaha." Wu De heard Su Changqing’s question and readily waved his hand, laughing:

"Nephew Changqing, feel free to comprehend as much as you want, whenever you want to comprehend until."

Su Changqing heard this, smiled, and cupped his hands in a respectful salute, then once again sat cross-legged.

"Grandfather... let’s go later."

Xiao Fan, pale-faced, looked towards Su Changqing in the valley, "I want to see how great the gap between him and me truly is."

Fang Lin, who was about to leave, paused his steps, and a gloomy expression flashed through his eyes as he looked at Xiao Fan.

He understood well, after this contest, Xiao Fan’s Dao Heart was already damaged...

...

Inside the valley, without Xiao Fan’s interference, Su Changqing immersed himself wholly in the golden dragon Killing Array before him.

This time, he didn’t choose to comprehend but memorized by rote, firmly remembering the array patterns and the arrangement of every dragon scale node.

The difficulty of this array was much stronger than the Heaven-Covering Array, with various complex array pattern transformations enough to make one’s head spin.

If it were someone else, even if merely memorizing by rote, it would take at least three to four months.

But don’t forget, Su Changqing, who once read hundreds of ancient texts in one day, was best at rote memorization!

After a brief five days, Su Changqing stood up slowly, his eyes as bright as stars.

Wu De, who was waiting quietly, was stunned and spoke, "Nephew Changqing, is there... something wrong?"

"Huh? No, nothing wrong."

Su Changqing was taken aback and then waved his hand with a smile, "Uncle Wu may disperse this array."

"I have already memorized it and will slowly comprehend it when I have time."

Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent.

Even though they had witnessed Su Changqing’s formidable perception before, seeing it again still left them a bit incredulous.

That was the Great Emperor’s Killing Array!

Mere five days to remember it all?

"Heh..."

Xiao Fan chuckled sadly, fully recognizing the vast gap between himself and Su Changqing.

Even with the Buddhist treasures aiding him, the initial estimation was three months, at least.

But Su Changqing... five days!

In merely five days, without any assistance, he’d already remembered it well.

This disparity... is disheartening.

"Grandfather..." Xiao Fan tightly closed his eyes, trembling as he said, "Let’s go."

Fang Lin took a deep breath, suppressing the tremor in his heart, glancing at Su Changqing once more before leaving with the Fang family.

Determined in his mind, regardless of the outcome, he must acquire the complete Heaven-Covering Array from Su Changqing!

...

By now, no one cared about the Fang family members anymore.

The Wu family elders were rubbing their hands eagerly, wanting to comprehend the Heaven-Covering Array first, but seemed rather embarrassed to speak.

Seeing this, Su Changqing smiled and said, "Dear seniors, please wait a moment, it’ll be ready soon."

As he spoke, his gaze turned to the ancient formation diagram behind him.

Due to Xiao Fan’s interference, his final thought to condense the Seal of Blocking the Heavenly Dao was interrupted.

Now, the first needle of the Celestial Doctor’s Nine Mystical Needle can finally condense the Dao Seal!

"I wonder what wonders the Lifebound Dao Seal of the Celestial Doctor inheritance possesses..."

Expectation gleamed in Su Changqing’s eyes.

Since he began cultivating, he increasingly felt the extraordinary nature of the Celestial Doctor inheritance, as it was the only cultivation technique he found challenging.

Even Teacher Wu’s Opening Divine Body, he could master quickly, but the Celestial Doctor’s Nine Mystical Needles proved otherwise.

After over two years of comprehension, he now barely managed to condense the first Dao Seal, making him hold great anticipation for it.

Su Changqing focused his mind, looked at the ancient formation diagram in front, pinched a seal with his fingers, and uttered softly,

"Unite!"

Sizzle!

Boundless silver brilliance suddenly spread across the sky.

Nine mystical needles formed by endless array patterns rotated fiercely in the void, as a huge vortex manifested above the sky.

At the center of the vortex, the nine mystical needles slowly fused into one.

And at the instant of their combination, a sky-piercing silver brilliance shot straight to the depths of the clouds.

The next moment...

Rumble...

The cloudless, bright sunny sky suddenly dimmed.

The thick layers of dark clouds appeared rapidly, covering the sky like day turning into night, as if they were about to collapse.

Within those heavy clouds, gigantic, twisted lightning serpents emerged, unleashing a world-destroying aura!

Su Changqing’s face changed drastically; a life-and-death peril that made his scalp tingle suddenly arose within him.

The crisis was so intense that even his hair stood on end, as though in the next instant, he would die and cease to exist.

Outside the valley, Grandmaster Xuanqing, who had been maintaining a calm expression, also showed a changed expression.

He looked up at the world-destroying calamity above, murmuring incredulously,

"Celestial Fury!"
