Chapter 1119: Chapter 1119: Half of the Map

"Aunt Ye."

Su Chengyu gazed at Ye Qingci who had been standing behind him after the formation broke, shielding his aura, and began to speak.

Ye Qingci nodded and asked, "How was the Heart Demon Tribulation?"

Su Chengyu gave a wry smile and shook his head, "To be honest, I still don’t know how I made it through. That Long Xuan... was terrifying."

Ye Qingci asked about the details of the Heart Demon Tribulation, and after hearing Su Chengyu’s response, she slowly said, "He wasn’t lying. If you really could withstand those three strikes, naturally, the Heart Demon Tribulation would have been broken."

Su Chengyu swallowed hard, "Really?"

"Of course, it’s true. It was a heart demon evolved one-to-one from your understanding of Long Xuan’s strength. Three strikes from a Peak of Hollow Void, and you withstood them all. How could that not count as passing the tribulation?"

But the question was, could he have withstood them?

"Could you withstand them, Aunt?" Su Chengyu asked Ye Qingci after swallowing hard.

Ye Qingci thought for a moment and replied, "If I give it my all, I’m eighty percent sure I can handle them."

Merely receiving the sword was far simpler than facing an enemy. When she said eighty percent sure, it was already a very conservative estimate.

"However, for you, this was an impossible test from the start."

Su Chengyu nodded, enlightened. No wonder that Long Xuan had told him this directly; it seemed it was never possible to begin with.

"As for why it was ultimately judged that you passed the Heart Demon Tribulation, I don’t know. That was your own heart demon."

Su Chengyu pondered for a moment and could only attribute the reason he overcame the tribulation to his last-ditch effort.

Perhaps it was indeed his desperate will to fight that earned acknowledgment and thus allowed him to pass the tribulation. After all, Su Chengyu couldn’t think of any other reason.

Ye Qingci looked at Su Chengyu and then said, "If I’m not mistaken, the heart demon you’ll encounter during your Hollow Void Tribulation will likely still be him. By then, there probably won’t be any tricks to dodge those three strikes."

Upon hearing this, Su Chengyu immediately clenched his fist and said, "Don’t worry, Aunt. If I ever have the chance to face that guy again, I’ll definitely withstand those three strikes."

Ye Qingci nodded but ultimately said nothing.

Encountering Long Xuan again during the Hollow Vacuum Tribulation wasn’t scary. The scary part was, by the time Su Chengyu reached that stage, would Long Xuan still be the same Long Xuan he had faced today?

By the time Su Chengyu got to the Hollow Vacuum Tribulation, Ye Qingci couldn’t help but suspect that the real Long Xuan might have already taken that final step.

And Ye Qingci was almost certain that if the real Long Xuan became a Land Immortal, the Long Xuan that Su Chengyu would face in his Heart Demon Tribulation would undoubtedly grow even stronger.

However, Ye Qingci ultimately didn’t share these thoughts with Su Chengyu, since he had just reached the First layer of Nascent Soul Realm. That time was still very, very far away.

"Keep it. Even though it’s broken, the cracks seem to have been polished in advance. It might be related to that Dragon Cave."

Ye Qingci raised her hand and tossed the shattered fragments of the Emperor’s Six Treasures to Su Chengyu.

Su Chengyu examined them closely and indeed, the fractures on the Emperor’s treasures were prearranged. When these fragments were pieced together, they astonishingly formed half of a map.

"No wonder Dongying could never uncover the secret of these treasures. They can neither extract the True Dragon Reverse Scale nor bear to destroy the Emperor’s treasures. Even if they had another thousand years, I doubt they’d realize that this method could lead to the Dragon Cave."

Ye Qingci nodded, "I just don’t know why that Demon Dragon would purposely leave this behind. It would have been nearly impossible to locate that Dragon Cave without leaving any trace."

Although the Dragon Cave was called a lair, as the stronghold of a Demon God Level True Dragon, Ye Qingci did not hesitate to believe it was absolutely a separate small realm.

Such a special place, without clear guidance, would be undetected not just for a century, but possibly even after thousands of years.

"Perhaps he anticipated his own defeat before clashing with Grandpa, which is why he deliberately left these six treasure seals, as for whom, I think it might be for the descendants of the Dragon Clan."

That Su Chengyu could peel away the True Dragon Reverse Scale was because he had come into contact with a fragment of the True Dragon Reverse Scale.

If he could do it, then the Dragon Clan, in possession of the True Dragon Reverse Scale, naturally could achieve this as well, and this explained for whom these maps were truly left behind.

"Are there really True Dragons in this world?"

Ye Qingci also expressed her surprise.

Su Chengyu immediately told Ye Qingci about Bai Qiu and Long Ao Tian, to which Ye Qingci replied in astonishment, "I had no idea there were so many hidden secrets in little Longjiang."

"Yes, it’s a pity that even when I deliberately searched later on, I couldn’t sense the presence of Xuanwu or Vermilion Bird, but I always have this feeling that in today’s Xia Country, one true form of each of the Four Symbols is hidden within."

Ye Qingci said calmly, "One should not be overly aggressive in pursuing opportunities; your fate has already been far greater than that of ordinary people. Chance is important, but to forcefully seek it out on the path of cultivation is to put the cart before the horse."

"Understood."

Ye Qingci nodded and then asked one last question, "Are you sure you don’t want to just go back to your country directly?"

Ye Qingci was already aware of the agreement between Su Chengyu and Shinazugawa Tengen, but as long as Su Chengyu wished to return home, she would surely escort him away.

Although she had been defeated by Long Xuan, Ye Qingci remained confident that if a Land Immortal-level Demon God appeared, nobody in Dongying would be able to stop her.

Su Chengyu shook his head, "I know I can’t be of much help to Aunt Ye right now, but I’m eager to explore the Dragon Cave as well."

Since the secrets of the Emperor’s Six Treasures were laid out before Su Chengyu, there was no reason for him to back away at this point.

Just the key alone was worth a fortune, with no less than six True Dragon Reverse Scales used to hide its secrets, leading Su Chengyu to suspect that there might be even more True Dragon Reverse Scales inside the Dragon Cave!

These items were of even greater value to Su Chengyu than ordinary Divine Artifacts, not to mention that he had another task yet to accomplish.

Reforging Dragon Slayer.

"Have you studied alchemy specifically?"

After hearing Su Chengyu’s plans, Ye Qingci took the initiative to ask.

Su Chengyu shook his head.

Seeing this, Ye Qingci took out a Cultivation Technique.

"This is the Ye Family’s method of alchemy; the emphasis is on the intention, not the form, so the requirement for the basics is not high, and you can use it right now."

"Thank you, Aunt Ye."

Ye Qingci gave Su Chengyu a cold look, "Save the compliments. If you can cause yourself less trouble, that alone will satisfy me."

Su Chengyu’s face reddened as he nodded, not daring to respond.

"It’s just as well you’re not going back. The time is not right, and the Long family might do something to you in this period. If anything happens to you in Dongying, I’ll always be able to look after you."

Su Chengyu let out a sigh of relief; what he feared most was that at this moment, Ye Qingci would insist on sending him back. Ye Qingci had helped him so many times in Dongying, and if she truly asked, it would be difficult for Su Chengyu to refuse.

"Don’t celebrate too soon. Once you find the entrance to the Dragon Cave, no matter what you plan to do, you must inform me first, understand?"

Ye Qingci suddenly spoke sternly, not giving Su Chengyu a chance to argue, leaving him with no choice but to nod and agree.

"Don’t worry, Aunt; I definitely won’t act recklessly when it comes to this."
