Chapter 1425: Chapter 1425: Another Name

Despite hearing this voice for the first time, Su Chengyu felt an incredible sense of familiarity and warmth.

As Su Chengyu slowly lifted his head, he gazed upon a face that could easily rank among the top three he had ever seen in his life and instantly deduced the other’s identity.

The once number one beauty in the world, the top of the Nine Heavens Beauties List, the Green Hillock Empress!

"Grandma?"

Su Chengyu spoke somewhat dazedly, even though he was aware of the urgent situation he was in, everything happening at the moment turned his mind blank.

He had thought that after the Thousand-Mile Mountain and River Map was destroyed and Su Linyuan’s Divine Sense vanished, seeing his kin again would be a distant, extravagant hope.

He could have never imagined that in this foreign land and within his own Sea of Consciousness, he would see the figure of the Green Hillock Empress.

What he couldn’t have imagined even more was that this aura had accompanied him all these years from a very long time ago.

"Indeed, it is you, Chengyu. You look exactly like Lin Yuan did back in the day."

The gentle words came from the Green Hillock Empress’ phantom image, touching the heart. Seeing the once foremost beauty in the world in front of him, Su Chengyu couldn’t imagine how his grandfather had managed to make such a person willingly fall in love with him and accompany him away from Qingqiu.

"Your grandfather had that kind of charm, and of course, you have it too. I can see it," said the Green Hillock Empress, as if seeing through Su Chengyu’s thoughts, speaking with a smile that left Su Chengyu even more astonished.

Before he could ask, the Green Hillock Empress continued to speak.

"Chengyu, there’s no need to panic. My Qiuqiu Fox Clan has the innate ability to peer into people’s hearts, and now that I exist within your Sea of Consciousness, it is extremely easy for me to know your thoughts. If it were someone else, even a Land Immortal would be unable to do this, and besides, there are multiple layers of protection within your Sea of Consciousness."

Su Chengyu nodded, as he was also aware of this.

He knew that his master, Cang Qing True Master, as well as Aunt Feng, had both left a Divine Sense within his Sea of Consciousness to prevent Land Immortals from directly invading it.

Aside from being a form of protection, this was also a warning. Just as before Ye Qingci had advanced to the Earth Immortal realm, her father Ye Wujiang also left his Divine Sense in her Sea of Consciousness, warning others not to lay a hand on his daughter.

"Grandma, did you, like Grandpa, hide your Divine Sense in the Heavenly Fox Orb?"

Su Chengyu asked curiously.

However, the phantom in front of Su Chengyu shook its head: "Similar, but not the same. The Heavenly Fox Orb is the sacred object of my Qiuqiu Fox Clan. Not only me, but every Demon God of the Qiuqiu Fox Clan will leave a mark within the Heavenly Fox Orb. Its primary purpose is not to pass down a remnant of Divine Sense, but to strengthen the prohibitions on the Heavenly Fox Orb and protect it. Until now, I’m the thirteenth Demon God to cast such prohibitions."

"The secret of the Heavenly Fox Orb?"

Su Chengyu asked in surprise. He had had the Heavenly Fox Orb for such a long time, and he truly had not figured out what was so special about it.

"There’s no need to hurry, Chengyu. You have already begun to merge demonic power into your body. Coupled with the fact that you bear the direct lineage of my Qiuqiu Fox Clan, you will gradually uncover the secrets of the Heavenly Fox Orb. I believe that one day you’ll discover more within the Orb than I ever did."

Demonic power?

Upon hearing these words, Su Chengyu finally understood why no matter how he tried to activate the Heavenly Fox Orb in the past, there were no effects. It turns out that the basic condition to activate the Heavenly Fox Orb is the support of demonic power.

The power within the former Su Chengyu fully stemmed from the Supreme Xuanqing Jue; the Mana in his body was transformed from the most pure spiritual energy of nature, having no relation to demonic power whatsoever.

And now, having absorbed the inner core of the Demon God, even though Su Chengyu was still using the Supreme Xuanqing Jue, he inevitably relied on the one-fourth bloodline of the Qingqiu Fox Clan he possessed. The Mana within his body was no longer as pure as before, and this activated the Heavenly Fox Orb.

Su Chengyu swallowed and inquired, "Is it by relying on the Heavenly Fox Orb that you became a generation’s Demon God?"

"All of our Qingqiu Fox Clan members across generations did just that. We do not know exactly what resides within the Heavenly Fox Orb, but without exception, anyone who gained enlightenment from it became a Demon God."

This astonishing answer made Su Chengyu’s pupils constrict. The birth of a Demon God, in some respects, is even more difficult than that of an Earth Immortal Cultivator. After all, the cultivation cycle of the Demon Clan is incredibly prolonged—usually taking hundreds or even thousands of years. Even for those with impressive talents, becoming a Demon God inevitably requires an immensely long time, demonstrating that the demands on talent for the Demon Clan to reach the pinnacle are far more stringent than for humans.

Yet even so, for thirteen consecutive generations, the Qingqiu Fox Clan all became Demon Gods without exception because of the Heavenly Fox Orb—a miracle indeed.

No wonder the Green Fox, facing death, preferred not to surrender the Heavenly Fox Orb. One could say that with the Heavenly Fox Orb, the Qingqiu Fox Clan always had a chance for a resurgence!

It’s just a pity that I am, after all, only a half-demon...

"Yu Er, you need not worry about this. The things within the Heavenly Fox Orb are not solely comprehensible to the members of the Demon Clan. What previously prevented you from perceiving it was not the orb itself, but the prohibitions laid down jointly by the thirteen generations of Demon Gods from our Qingqiu Fox Clan."

"Is it to prevent others from detecting the anomaly of the orb?"

Su Chengyu immediately understood and spoke up.

"Yes, but you are different. Your blood carries that of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, and now the Mana within your body can also transform into demonic power; thus, comprehending the Heavenly Fox Orb shall pose no problem."

Su Chengyu blinked and looked at the Heavenly Fox Orb, a bold thought flashing through his mind, yet...

"Yu Er, being impatient won’t get you hot tofu; I know you are deeply concerned about the situation outside, but the Heavenly Fox Orb cannot help you instantly reach the status of an Earth Immortal..."

"I don’t need the level of an Earth Immortal! At the Peak of the Hollow Vacuum, it doesn’t need to be permanent, just temporarily for a short while would be sufficient!"

Su Chengyu interrupted excitedly, yet the Empress of Qingqiu still shook her head.

"Yu Er, as I said, the contents of the Heavenly Fox Orb require your own comprehension. It is not some instant success tool. As long as you attain some insight, you will naturally be able to reach Earth Immortal status, standing at the pinnacle of this world. But before that insight..."

"So it can’t be of any use for the current situation, can it?"

Su Chengyu’s voice betrayed a hint of dejection as he spoke.

The Empress of Qingqiu looked at Su Chengyu and blinked, "What? Having absorbed the inner core of the Demon God and advanced an entire realm, do you still lack the confidence to confront that guy outside?"

By absorbing the inner core of the Demon God, Su Chengyu not only fully replenished the Mana that had been exhausted within him but also directly ascended from the Fifth Layer of the Nascent Soul Realm to the Nascent Soul Sixth Layer.

This advancement was trivial for an inner core of a Demon God, yet such a terrifying rate of advancement was sufficient to place him at the apex of geniuses in the world.

Under normal circumstances, Su Chengyu would undoubtedly be totally content, but he was well aware of the kind of enemy he was up against.

A being of the Demonic Path, one who stood at the Peak of the Hollow Vacuum.

However, as Su Chengyu hesitated within, the Empress of Qingqiu softly said, "Your grandfather once told me that he had slain a Peak of the Hollow Vacuum entity when he was but at the Nascent Soul stage!"

The Empress spoke with a smile, "If I remember correctly, the sword he held in his hand at that time was still the rudimentary Dragon Slayer Sword, which at that point didn’t even bear the name ’Dragon Slayer’ but had another name."

"What?"

"Demon Extinguishing."
