Chapter 1494: Chapter 1495: Going Against the Norm

"The Qinling Dragon Vein we just delved into is tied to the fate of Xia Country, and I mustn’t draw too much from it lest those old bulls of Xia Country set their sights on me. Otherwise, I could swallow a whole dragon vein, and reaching the Peak of the Hollow Void wouldn’t simply be a matter of course, let alone achieving the status of a Land Immortal. Then you’d see that so-called dog-shit Mountain Lord getting rubbed into the ground by me."

Ao Tian looked toward the dragon vein in the distance and sighed.

Su Chengyu softly said to Ao Tian, who was still as haughty as ever, "My master and Master Chang Chun of the Imperial Observatory are old acquaintances, and if nothing is out of place, he is also an Earth Immortal."

Ao Tian rolled his eyes and said, "I’m aware that your Xia Country is now vast and prosperous, with many Earth Immortals. I don’t have the habit of bringing trouble onto myself."

Su Chengyu smiled but remained silent.

It was true that Ao Tian could rely on the dragon vein to restore his strength, but a dragon vein of Qinling’s scale could only allow him to return to the status of a Land Immortal, and Chengyu could see without calculating the amount of immense power that would be lost in the process.

This kind of loss was not something that Su Chengyu himself would advise Ao Tian to pursue.

After all, the restoration of power for Ao Tian and Bai Qiu seemed quite different from using a Heaven-Mending Stone; when they reached the Nascent Soul in the Hollow Vacuum, they wouldn’t appear to be as obviously throttled as when using the Heaven-Mending Stone and wouldn’t need to rush to success.

Emerging from the underground of Qinling and after estimating their bearings, Su Chengyu and Ao Tian almost simultaneously sensed the whereabouts of Bai Qiu and the others, still within the Water Mansion where Bai Qiu and Ao Tian had previously hidden.

Su Chengyu controlled his sword, while Ao Tian rode the wind. To conceal their presence, the two did not travel quickly.

Upon arriving at the Water Mansion, Ao Tian immediately displayed his Divine Skills to disperse the prohibitions in front of the Water Mansion’s gate, then rushed in with Su Chengyu.

"Ao Tian, Su Chengyu! You’re alright?"

Sensing the two return safely, Bai Qiu’s heart, which had been weighed down by a heavy stone, finally relaxed, and he softly asked.

Su Chengyu nodded with a smile: "Just minor injuries, how is Mengmeng doing?"

’Minor injuries’ of course were not just minor injuries, but compared to Chen Mengmeng who was still in a coma, they truly seemed negligible.

Nearly two hours had passed since they fled from the General’s Tomb, but the state of Chen Mengmeng, who had fallen into a coma, clearly had unusual aspects.

Bai Qiu shook his head and didn’t speak. Although he was born a God Beast, the fact was that the God Beasts were not specialized in healing Divine Skills, and regarding Chen Mengmeng’s present condition, Bai Qiu was just anxious and completely unable to do anything.

Su Chengyu then briefly inquired about Bei Tang Qian Xiao’s condition before personally examining Chen Mengmeng.

With his Divine Sense withdrawn, her external injuries healed; from appearances, she seemed to have no issues at all.

Yet Chen Mengmeng’s consciousness remained retracted within her Sea of Consciousness, showing no signs of awakening.

While Su Chengyu was puzzled internally, he noticed glimmers of golden light flickering within Chen Mengmeng’s Sea of Consciousness.

Under this mysterious state, the golden lights continuously gathered and wandered within the Sea of Consciousness, growing slowly at a rate imperceptible to ordinary people.

Seeing this, Chengyu was reassured and quietly said, "Don’t worry, this is a good thing and not bad. She should wake up after a while."

The crowd looked at Su Chengyu with some surprise in their hearts, yet knowing the deep relationship between him and Chen Mengmeng, since he had said so, they naturally stopped worrying.

"Could it be that Mengmeng has had some insight? It’s not as if she’s about to unlock another orifice, right?"

Bei Tang Qian Xiao subconsciously spoke out, clearly finding her own conjecture hard to believe.

But Chen Mengmeng’s cultivation method is indeed special; it doesn’t simply divide into ten levels within one realm. With his Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart and the ability of Word Follows Law, his strength manifests more in the application of these two methods.

Upon seeing this, Su Chengyu shook his head: "It’s not that fast. Over the years, Mengmeng has been kept in the mountains by Master, for the purpose of refining his heart and stabilizing his mind state, so that it can match the ascension cultivation method of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart. That’s why Mengmeng will never be impatient for success, his breakthroughs in realms have always been steady and solid."

"Why is that?"

Ao Tian understood what Su Chengyu meant, as he had seen Chen Mengmeng’s mind state back then, realizing that Mengmeng had long possessed the ability to step into the Hollow Void, but simply didn’t consider himself qualified.

"It’s because of the Power of Cause and Effect. After this time, Mengmeng should be able not only to rely on the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart as a medium to exert the Power of Cause and Effect with Word Follows Law, but this Power of the Great Dao will merge into his body, as for how to use it, that’s up to Mengmeng himself."

Su Chengyu’s golden Power of the Great Dao first emerged in Liuli Country, where the situation was similar to that of Chen Mengmeng, except the activation of the complete Hongmeng Heavenly Book made his display even more magnificent than the current situation with Chen Mengmeng.

Of course, this does not mean that Chen Mengmeng’s encounter is inferior to Su Chengyu.

After Liuli Country, the Hongmeng Heavenly Book vanished, with a major part entering Su Chengyu’s body, becoming the seed of his Destiny Dao.

The other half was destined to return to heaven and earth, becoming a part of the Dao’s laws.

Just speaking of gains, Su Chengyu appeared to have gained much more, but Su Chengyu knew that his method was akin to fishing in a dry pond while Mengmeng was different.

The golden Power of Cause and Effect born within Chen Mengmeng all came from his innate Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart. Today, having grasped some of the Power of the Cause and Effect Great Dao, there is still enough power within the heart to support the full activation of Word Follows Law, waiting for Mengmeng to unearth.

Chen Mengmeng himself is like a massive treasure trove, a Daoist music score of the Great Dao even more vast than the Hongmeng Heavenly Book.

No wonder Master insists Mengmeng keep the secret of the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart.

The existence of Chen Mengmeng himself is a Hongmeng Heavenly Book that can enlighten people to the heavens...

"Is that Mountain Lord dead?"

Hearing Su Chengyu say Chen Mengmeng was unharmed, Bei Tang Qian Xiao finally asked about that Mountain Lord.

Su Chengyu shook his head and briefly recounted what had happened inside the General’s Tomb after they left.

Bei Tang Qian Xiao’s expression darkened slightly, and she softly said, "It was our Bei Tang Family’s oversight, to unexpectedly let a Demonic Path cultivator of the Peak of the Hollow Void hibernate in Qinling unnoticed for a hundred years. I’ll tell Grandfather about this incident and then report it to Xia Country."

"Mm."

Su Chengyu nodded; he had also planned to report this to the Demon Slayer Department when he returned to the Capital City, but since the Bei Tang Family would handle it, he could skip this trouble. After all, this might be connected to one of the Nine Ancient Tribes.

"Qianxiao, do you think that Mountain Lord from the Xiao Tribe willingly turned to the Demonic Path, or is it the entire Xiao Tribe..."

A single sentence caused Bei Tang Qian Xiao to suddenly look up, and after a moment of flickering in her eyes, she immediately said, "I don’t know, but no matter which is the case, I advise you should best avoid getting involved."

The foundation of the Nine Ancient Tribes is extraordinary; a single Ancient Clan is enough for any Aristocratic Family, even Xia Country, to take seriously, let alone a renegade Ancient Clan, which is not something Su Chengyu alone can afford to provoke.

However, Su Chengyu just gave a wry smile and said, "Avoid getting involved? Is that something I can achieve just by wanting to?"
