Chapter 1540 - 1541: When is the Hollow Vacuum?

Chapter 1540: Chapter 1541: When is the Hollow Vacuum?

Mount Qilong is located in the southern part of Capital City, at the end of the city’s Dragon Vein, where terrain changes have the least impact on the Spiritual Energy of Capital City.

Moreover, unlike the Demon Slayer Department where life-and-death fights take place, the Martial Arts Field itself is made of specially processed fine stone, and externally, it is protected by the Formation of the Demon Slayer Department to prevent any leakage of energy.

Therefore, even though the impact on Capital City is minimal, such a significant commotion still alerted those with keen senses to the disturbances at Mount Qilong.

Inside the Imperial Observatory, Master Chang Chun slightly pinched his fingers together, gazing leisurely at the sky, and murmured to himself: "This boy is likely facing a life-or-death ordeal."

Hearing the words of the Daoist, Zhao Shijue’s expression shifted slightly, hesitating, he said: "Master, should I intervene to help him then?"

"Intervene to help? How can you help? Those servants in your house were merely sent to die in the past. Improving Su Chengyu’s impression of you might be somewhat useful, but actually changing the situation in battle, the effect is minimal. Moreover, the affair with Huang Ting has already displeased many in your household, any further action from you will not be as simple as just going to have a look."

After pondering for a while, Zhao Shijue finally understood his master’s profound intentions and said: "Master, you mean, either I gamble heavily or I stay completely out of it."

Master Chang Chun chuckled softly, then spoke as if not directly answering: "A heavy bet yields heavy rewards, but likewise, the troubles it attracts are different too. Whether to involve yourself, weigh it yourself."

Leaving these words behind, Master Chang Chun turned his gaze towards the Yaoguang Dojo, not too far from the Imperial Observatory.

He understood that here, the negotiation between him and his disciple revolved around whether to continue betting on Su Chengyu.

But over there, it was not so simple.

"Lin An, I say it again, you are not allowed to go anywhere tonight."

Inside the dojo, Ji Yuguang sat cross-legged on a zabuton, eyes closed, and abruptly halted Lin An who was already sneaking out of the dojo.

Lin An turned her head, discontentedly saying, "Master, I don’t understand why you always have to make things difficult for him!"

"Making things difficult for him is not the doing of your master, nor have I meddled in those people’s affairs at all."

"But if it wasn’t for all of you choosing to be bystanders, how could those people from the Ancient Clan act so recklessly!"

Lin An exclaimed passionately, she clearly understood that the encirclement at Qilong Court, even though her master wasn’t involved, was nevertheless inextricably linked to him.

"Just the Ancient Clan?"

A rhetorical question made Lin An bite her lip instantly, then she continued: "I know it’s not just the Ancient Clan, there are also some people from the Capital City, and likewise those from the Demonic Path who are targeting Su Chengyu!"

"Demonic Path aside, if the Demonic Path or the Nether Clan takes action, even if they are not Land Immortals, there are others in Capital City who would act."

"But..."

"Do you know why the emperor sent you to me?"

Ji Yuguang interrupted Lin An abruptly and questioned her.

Lin An’s eyes flickered as she softly said, "Father also does not want me to be with Su Chengyu."

"Since you understand, why persist? In your father’s eyes, he might live, but he absolutely must not become the next Ye Qingci."

"Why?"

"Because of you."

Their eyes met, and Ji Yuguang’s clear, bright eyes stared into Lin An’s, stirring turmoil in Lin An’s heart.

She rapidly processed their logical connection, and after a long while, finally grasped some understanding and then murmured, "This can’t be possible."

Ji Yuguang watched her disciple’s reaction and chuckled softly, although the woman in front of her had her heart and mind dedicated to that man, it seemed she would not lie in front of her own master.

"I know she came to the Capital City with a purpose, I don’t know what it is, and I’m not inclined to pursue it. But he wants to prove himself worthy of being with you, and as of now, he is far from qualified."

"But his strength is already not inferior to mine!"

Lin An spoke excitedly.

Ji Yuguang’s gaze fell on Lin An again, and he spoke indifferently: "Others might not see that you are suppressing your potential, do you think your master can’t see it either?"

Those words made Lin An freeze on the spot, she bit her lips tightly, wanting to retort, but ultimately she didn’t dare to lie in front of her master.

"If it weren’t for him, how could you still not have entered the Hollow Vacuum stage by now? Can you still say this man has not delayed your cultivation?"

Lin An sighed deeply, and finally asked Ji Yuguang: "Let’s not talk about my father for now, Master, what would it take for you to approve of Su Chengyu?"

"His gaining my approval is his business, of course, if you would delay your cultivation because of him, even if he were the next Long Xuan, I wouldn’t consider him important."

The decisive words left no room for negotiation, making Lin An thoroughly comprehend, she stood up, glanced at Ji Yuguang and said softly: "Master, I will enter the Hollow Vacuum."

"When?"

"Tonight."

Ji Yuguang frowned and asked again: "Do you really have to go?"

"I must go."

Inside Mount Qilong.

A huge bright moon surged down, and Su Chengyu’s feet sunk into the ground, the oppressive force almost shattering his organs.

In Su Chengyu’s hands, the Dragon Slayer Sword let out a long cry, and the power of the Immortal-Slaying Style under the full strike of Martial God couldn’t even break the opponent’s technique – it was truly beyond Su Chengyu’s expectation.

Even though this sword strike was a weakened version by Su Chengyu, the Qi of Great Dao it carried was genuinely undeniable, and even now, using this move alone still greatly overstretched his Nascent Soul.

Where did he go wrong?

In his mind, he recalled the scene where he swung this sword facing Long Xuan, and soon Su Chengyu sharply noticed the fundamental difference between the two sword strikes.

That time facing Long Xuan, Su Chengyu had a mentality of being prepared to die, whereas now he was merely trying to withstand this strike.

The shift in mindset created a fundamental gap in the application of the mysterious Dao, resulting in a drastic change in power between the two incidents.

Taking a deep breath, looking up at the full moon and realizing this sword was not enough to extricate himself from this predicament, he summoned the Wasteland Battle Halberd with his other hand.

Without any reservation, he lunged the Wasteland Battle Ground towards the moon above with a mighty force!

With a combination of sword and halberd, Su Chengyu finally resisted the moon and strenuously stood up from the ground!

"Break for me!"

In the mirror’s flower, water’s moon, the Dharma Body of the full moon formed by Xiao Yuanfeng, finally showed cracks under the dual attack of the sword and halberd, explosively shattering in mid-air.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuanfeng took a big step back, watching Su Chengyu with a light smile: "Not bad, to actually withstand this strike, but you must have no energy left, right?"

Without responding, Su Chengyu stood with one hand holding the sword and the other holding the halberd.

Above his chest, unseen by others, a Traveling Dragon was moving differently within Su Chengyu’s body, and the potential of heaven and earth was faintly gathering towards him.
