Chapter 1088: Chapter 1088: More Beautiful Than Celestial Beings

Long Xuan’s gaze slightly shifted to Su Chengyu, trying as much as possible to avoid the golden characters swirling around Su Chengyu.

Although it appeared normal to outsiders, Long Xuan also felt a sense of dizziness when he first set his eyes on the golden characters.

Long Xuan had arrived here, in fact, because he was attracted by the aura emanating from The Great Path Manifestation.

Even after witnessing them firsthand, Long Xuan couldn’t determine what the golden characters were.

But he was certain, the aura of antiquity and simplicity that the golden characters emitted was almost close to Dao.

What disappointed Long Xuan was that these golden characters seemed not to be an opportunity for himself.

This made Long Xuan somewhat curious about the owner of this opportunity, a mere Golden Core that caused such an unusual phenomenon.

"Mr. Su must be the Saint Envoy from the Demon Hunting Office of Xia Nation..."

"Demon Slayer Saint?"

Long Xuan talked to himself, then furrowed his brows.

"Daoist Long Xuan, is something wrong?"

Chiyomiko looked at Long Xuan’s reaction, and asked somewhat curiously.

Long Xuan turned his head slightly and gave Chiyomiko a cold glance, making her feel her hairs stand on end and her whole body stiffen subconsciously.

Realizing she had spoken too much, Chiyomiko immediately bowed her head in silence, not even daring to meet Long Xuan’s gaze.

Seeing this, Long Xuan also basically confirmed that Chiyomiko was not lying, and probably she herself did not know the identity of this person.

Although Long Xuan did not have much contact with the Twelve Saint Envoys of the Demon Slaying Office, he had heard of their names, and none of them had the surname Su.

Moreover, even if it was considered that the other party had hidden their name, the strength of Golden Core Realm did not match with most of the Demon Slayer Saints.

However, Long Xuan did not take these matters too seriously.

Long Xuan’s journey here was ultimately for his own breakthrough, and having determined he was fated not to have this opportunity, he had no intention of seizing it by force.

Moreover... Long Xuan did not believe he could manage it.

The golden characters seemed to have broken away from the world to form a phenomenon, but Long Xuan could feel the tight connection between the golden characters and the cosmos.

To seize this opportunity would mean making enemies with the cosmos.

This was not as simple as confronting a heavenly tribulation, it was making enemies with the Dao and the rules, trying to do such a thing without having reached the realm of a Land Immortal would only result in him not even knowing how he died.

Just like what happened to Shuten-dōji just now.

In his normal state, Long Xuan also had the confidence to kill Shuten-dōji, but it wouldn’t have been so easy.

Merely relying on three swords and a heavenly thunder to completely scatter his original spirit, a big reason was that Shuten-dōji’s original spirit had been severely damaged by the golden characters.

And Long Xuan believed that if their roles were reversed, his fate would not be any better than Shuten-dōji’s.

This opportunity was so great that even they, at the Peak of Hollow Void, had no right to touch it even slightly.

Could it be him?

Long Xuan’s question flashed by, and then he stretched out his right hand and began calculating.

Having obtained the answer, Long Xuan soon shook his head.

It wasn’t him.

Long Xuan found it somewhat amusing internally.

Indeed, even if this young man’s current opportunity was substantial, with his strength only at Golden Core Realm, how could he have the qualifications to seize what was meant for his own ascension?

The difference was too great.

Still further to the east?

Long Xuan’s descent from the mountain was not an aimless adventure; after listening to his master’s advice, Long Xuan also decided to put the matter of his breakthrough aside for now.

After descending the mountain, Long Xuan had set his sights on the individual who would contest with him for the chance to ascend to immortality.

Long Xuan had always pursued the Dao in this manner; anything that could belong to him, he never allowed anyone else to have.

If he couldn’t change himself, then he might as well change everyone else.

The individual before him, a Golden Core Realm Su by surname, was not the one snatching his opportunity to ascend.

Su? Golden Core?

Suddenly thinking of something, Long Xuan turned his gaze towards Chiyomiko.

Thinking she had done something wrong, Chiyomiko immediately knelt down, not daring to utter a single word.

"Does he possess an Immortal Artifact?"

Facing Long Xuan’s interrogation, Chiyomiko had almost no room to think, the immense pressure made her instinctively say, "Yes..."

Upon hearing this answer, Long Xuan was completely certain of Su Chengyu’s identity.

In the entire world, not a second Golden Core Realm individual could possibly possess an Immortal Artifact.

No wonder Long Li had died; in terms of fortune and opportunity, Long Li indeed fell far short of this Su Chengyu.

Setting aside other matters, just the huge opportunity before him, which even he could not fully discern, was something Long Li could never hope to encounter in his lifetime.

Long Li’s death was something Long Xuan actually had little understanding of.

And since it happened in the Kunwu Realm, Long Li was even less inclined to delve too deeply.

In such a place, murder for treasure was all too common; Long Xuan himself had also emerged from life-and-death struggles in his time.

It was just that he was the one who survived, and the others perished.

One could say that if Zhao Huanzhen hadn’t spoken up, Long Xuan would not have bothered with this Long family matter at all.

Even though he had confirmed that the person before him was Su Chengyu, Long Xuan would not become another Shuten-dōji.

Eliminating Su Chengyu, in his view, was merely a trivial matter, but these golden characters were indeed strange; he wouldn’t jeopardize everything just for this person to become another Shuten-dōji.

Long Xuan took out a jade talisman and threw it to Chiyomiko, not waiting for her to ask anything before he spoke proactively.

"If he awakens, shatter the talisman to inform me."

He would not become another Shuten-dōji, nor would he be detained just because Su Chengyu was here cultivating in seclusion.

Who knew if that would take days or decades?

In Long Xuan’s eyes, even if Su Chengyu could provoke such an anomaly, he still was not worth his attention.

Catching the jade talisman, Chiyomiko was startled, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

Yet Long Xuan did not care for her reaction; after giving Su Chengyu one final glance, he flew away on his sword, leaving the Golden Palace.

Inside the great hall, yet to recover, Chiyomiko heard Long Xuan’s voice once again.

"If he wakes and you fail to shatter the talisman, I will kill you along with him."

Chiyomiko firmly knocked her head on the ground, not daring to harbor any doubts, thus sending Long Xuan off, and she did not dare utter a single word.

Only after nearly a stick of incense had passed and Long Xuan’s presence had faded did Chiyomiko slowly stand up, her chest heaving violently, still clearly shaken.

Her gaze shifted towards the throne, feeling the lingering traces of demon Qi in the air; she shivered.

Clearly, they were of the same realm, but whereas Shuten-dōji felt unbeatable, Long Xuan seemed to exist on an entirely different level!

Not an immortal, yet surpassing an immortal!

Chiyomiko had no doubts that not in ten years, a hundred years, or even if she spent her whole life trying, she could never catch up to that man’s stature.

He, as if born a celestial being.
