Chapter 1158: Chapter 1158: Demon God Movements

Ye Qingci confirmed the condition of Su Chengyu after he landed, and as expected, it was much worse than it appeared.

Hundreds of channels in his body through which mana flowed were severed, and his God’s Soul was also somewhat affected, yet for some reason his mental state remained remarkably stable, exhibiting no abnormalities due to this.

However, compared to the final outcome, these injuries were already of little consequence.

"To have slain a Hollow Vacuum right after entering Nascent Soul, Su Chengyu, you have indeed exceeded my expectations," said Ye Qingci.

Engrossed in recovering from his injuries, Su Chengyu naturally did not hear Ye Qingci’s words, and it was precisely for this reason that she felt free to speak them.

After ascertaining that Su Chengyu’s body was steadily healing, Ye Qingci personally set up a confusing formation around them, and took her place beside Su Chengyu.

Although the Demon Clan nearby had been pushed back by the formidable power of Su Chengyu’s sword, Ye Qingci still made the worst-case scenario preparations, just in case.

After all, the fact that the Ping Shan Demon had actively sought out Su Chengyu was already something amiss in itself.

Yet after the confusing formation was set up, apart from a few shortsighted minor demons who came to this place wanting to investigate what had happened and were casually slain by Ye Qingci, no other accidents occurred.

On the contrary, the speed at which Su Chengyu recovered somewhat surprised Ye Qingci.

In less than half an hour, Su Chengyu had already regained consciousness.

"Won’t you rest a while longer?" Ye Qingci asked without reservation, speaking directly upon seeing Su Chengyu awaken.

Su Chengyu shook his head, "Mount Fuji is fraught with dangers, and the longer we idle here, the greater the risk. The remaining injuries can recover on their own well enough."

Ye Qingci blinked calmly and asked, "If you knew this place was dangerous, why did you still come in?"

Although Ye Qingci’s face remained expressionless at this moment, Su Chengyu knew that her words carried a hint of reproach, and he responded with a forced smile.

"Aunt Ye, I had no choice. The direction of the Dragon Cave pointed here—I doubt I would have been able to avoid coming even if I wanted to, as that old man from the Koka Clan would surely have forced me."

"Hmph! Shinazugawa Tengen is merely at the level of Hollow Vacuum, but what lies hidden within Mount Fuji is a Demon God. Can’t you weigh which is more critical?"

Su Chengyu blinked as he saw Ye Qingci getting truly a bit angry and ventured, "Is it still possible for us to leave now?"

"Just before you clashed with the Ping Shan Demon, the Great Formation within Mount Fuji had been activated. Now Mount Fuji is basically in a state where you can only enter and not leave. It’s too late to think of leaving now."

"Aunt Ye can’t leave either?" exclaimed Su Chengyu, genuinely surprised by this development within Mount Fuji.

Ye Qingci shook her head, "No, I might have a chance if I entered Hollow Vacuum, but as it stands, I truly can’t."

Upon hearing this, Su Chengyu glanced at Ye Qingci and then asked with curiosity, "Aunt Ye, you should be able to face the Tribulation by now, shouldn’t you?"

"Yes, but I haven’t found a suitable place. Moreover, my Heavenly Tribulation is somewhat different from that of ordinary people; it has higher requirements for the surrounding Spiritual Energy. Even this place cannot meet the conditions for initiating my Hollow Vacuum Tribulation," Ye Qingci explained.

Su Chengyu nodded, somewhat understanding that the Heavenly Tribulation faced by cultivators is different for each individual, especially for those with unique cultivation methods.

Someone like Chen Mengmeng, for instance, doesn’t need to face a Heavenly Tribulation. All her realms are naturally bypassed as her apertures open.

Yu Yanshu’s Heavenly Tribulation is even more bizarre. During the Crossing the Tongxuan Tribulation, the lightning directly transformed into a Yin Yang Tribulation, targeting the God’s Soul. It’s not just about crossing Tongxuan—even if a Golden Core were to face it, there are only a few who dare say they could withstand it.

Ye Qingci’s cultivation method is even more special, so it’s not strange that her Heavenly Tribulation is different from ordinary people.

"Oh, right, Aunt Ye, what’s the deal with the Dragon Slayer Sword? Its blade flew over from your place, didn’t it?"

As he spoke, Su Chengyu took out the Dragon Slayer. The sword, looking completely renewed on the outside, was entirely different from before, yet its internal aura had not changed at all, identical to its earlier state.

Ye Qingci, seeing the perfectly merged Dragon Slayer Sword, was somewhat surprised and spoke softly, "I obtained this sword in the Izumo Society. It was Splitting Heaven who reminded me that it could be used as the blade for the Dragon Slayer Sword. I took it on impulse, and also refined the previous Artifact Spirit."

Upon hearing this, Su Chengyu immediately said, "The previous Artifact Spirit was at least of an Extreme Artifact’s level, right?"

"Mm, is there a problem?"

Ye Qingci asked in return.

Su Chengyu was momentarily at a loss for words. He had also taken a cursory look at the weapon refining techniques Ye Qingci had taught him, but only realized upon closer inspection that even for a secondary processing of a King-grade Divine Artifact, one had to cultivate at least seven levels of the nine-layered technique.

Yet, Ye Qingci had casually refined it on her way, her mastery in weapon refining was of such level that Su Chengyu hadn’t expected.

Ye Qingci, noticing Su Chengyu’s expression, understood and said softly, "When I was younger, progress in cultivation was slow, so I enjoyed learning a number of other things. While these things do not seem to directly affect one’s strength, they can open a new door on the cultivation path, just like the Alchemy that you have always kept up with. Hasn’t it also helped you avoid many detours?"

Su Chengyu nodded emphatically. Indeed, if he hadn’t devoted some of his energy to Alchemy, he would have probably faced even more difficulties on his cultivation path.

"Accumulate knowledge to achieve a sudden leap forward. Uncle Su arranged your path for the first twenty years, helping you ascend the Dao and laying a solid foundation. However, you must be reaching your limit by now. To go higher and further in the future, you must not only look ahead but also pay attention to where you stand. With an unstable foundation, being impatient for success will only lead to self-destruction."

Listening to this, Su Chengyu couldn’t help but smile wryly, "I’d like to slow down, but often, I’m not given a choice."

Ye Qingci understood what Su Chengyu was referring to and said, "I will tell the Demon Slayer Department that it was you who killed Ping Shan Demon Monarch."

"Ah?" Su Chengyu was taken aback. When he killed Ping Shan Demon Monarch, he had no intention of taking credit for Ye Qingci’s work, "Aunt Ye, isn’t this inappropriate? Wasn’t this your goal for coming to Dongying?"

"But you were indeed the one who killed him," Ye Qingci said softly. "If he had died by my hand, even if you begged me, I wouldn’t attribute to you the credit that doesn’t belong to you. However, since he did die by your hand, it’s only fair to report honestly."

Su Chengyu was momentarily speechless, and Ye Qingci continued, "This matter won’t change the overall situation, but it should at least make your time in the Capital City a bit easier. Of course, this is assuming that we can still make it back to the Capital City alive."

Ye Qingci’s sudden comment startled Su Chengyu, and realizing something, he instinctively asked, "Aunt Ye, what’s happened?"

Ye Qingci looked around, making sure that certain presence had vanished from their side before she spoke.

"The Divine Sense of Yamata no Orochi just swept over this area."
