Chapter 820: Chapter 820: Arriving at Kunwu Mountain
Su Chengyu heard this and couldn’t help but curse inwardly. ’Demon Slayer Twins,’ ’unmatched pair of their time’—wasn’t this referring to his father, Su Zhedian, and the current Sect Master of Demon Slayer, Yang Chengyin? Although Su Chengyu didn’t know how strong their talents were, the fact that Master Cangqing described them with phrases like ’peerless twins’ and ’unmatched pair of their time’ meant without a doubt that they were top-notch geniuses.
And this Long Xuan is said to be comparable to the ’Demon Slayer Twins’? Who exactly is this heaven-defying figure?
At this moment, Su Chengyu deeply realized the truth in the saying, "There’s always someone better out there."
He had always been very satisfied with his own talents. Having entered the path of cultivation less than a year ago, he had already reached the Tongxuan Realm. When he cultivated the Thunder technique, he leveraged the might of thunder to break through his realm once again, and now he was at the Second Layer of Tongxuan Realm. His talent was definitely top-notch, but now, hearing about this person known as Long Xuan, Su Chengyu once again realized that he had been too self-satisfied.
Not only himself, but the people around him were also extraordinary.
Xu Nanzhi, with an Innate Divine Body and the inheritance of the Martial God, is exceptional. Lin Chuxue, with her Innate Spirit Body, is also rare. Yu Yanshu has the Primordial Eye, which is quite extraordinary. Chen Mengmeng, with a keen and clever mind, cultivates the technique ’Word Follows Law’. Aren’t they all outstanding figures? Yet compared to this disciple from Mount Longhu, they all seem a bit less impressive!
"So amazing, I’m impressed. Such a character, I must meet him if I have the chance," Su Chengyu said.
"The ten-year discourse is coming up soon. You should be able to meet Long Xuan then, and witness his elegance," Cai Zi Feng said.
"What exactly is the ten-year discourse?" Su Chengyu asked, puzzled.
Chen Mengmeng explained to Su Chengyu that the ten-year discourse was a competition of Daoist orthodoxies within the Dao Sect and that it would surely be a grand event. However, Su Chengyu also knew his own capabilities—given his current strength, he might only serve as a stepping stone for others at the discourse, unable to compete with them.
But Su Chengyu wasn’t disheartened; on the contrary, he felt a surge of ambition. Miracles were created by people, and without trying, how would he know whether he could achieve the impossible?
"Alright, let’s set off," said Ji Yuzhu, who had remained silent until now, as she took the lead and summoned her Flying Sword, turning into a streak of light as she flew away.
"Is Ms. Ji in such a hurry?" Su Chengyu commented lightly.
"She probably doesn’t want to hear us discuss Long Xuan," Bai Ling Shan said.
"Oh? Why is that?"
Bai Ling Shan pursed her lips and quietly said, "I’ve heard Sect Master say that Mr. Ji seems to fancy Long Xuan."
"Ms. Ji fancies Long Xuan? No way!" Cai Zi Feng exclaimed in surprise.
Ji Yuzhu was very beautiful, and among the disciples of Qingcheng Mountain, there were more than a few who secretly admired her. None though had managed to win her affection. It was said that Ji Yuzhu was devoted to her cultivation with no interest in romantic entanglements. Bai Ling Shan, however, being quite frank, had blurted out the secret.
"That’s normal, isn’t it? With someone like Long Xuan, who is exceptional in every way, it’s only natural for Ms. Ji to feel affection," Su Chengyu said.
Remembering the complex look in Ji Yuzhu’s eyes and her expression when Long Xuan was mentioned, Su Chengyu realized that Bai Ling Shan’s words were true.
"Ah, I spoke without thinking! You four, please don’t say it was me who told you," Bai Ling Shan covered her mouth as if she had caused a huge blunder.
"If she likes him, she likes him. Liking someone is one’s personal freedom, there’s nothing that needs to be hidden," Su Chengyu said.
"Let’s set out too, Ms. Ji has gone quite a distance," Cai Zi Feng said.
Aside from Ji Yuzhu, the six-person group—Su Chengyu, Chen Mengmeng, Bai Ling Shan, and Cai Zi Feng were Cultivators, while the remaining two were Martial Artists, the disciples from Master Cang Lan, Xuan Wei, and another third-generation disciple, Zheng Tianrui, who were at the Martial King Realm and couldn’t fly, so Chen Mengmeng carried Xuan Wei, and Cai Zi Feng used Sword Control to carry Zheng Tianrui on a Flying Sword.
The six of them pierced through the thick layers of cumulonimbus clouds to encounter a different scene altogether.
Su Chengyu had recently been concentrating on cultivating the "True Way of Controlling Thunder" and hadn’t had the time to practice "The Cloud Rising Technique," so he too stepped onto the Dragon Slayer Sword and headed straight for Kunwu Mountain in Qizhou.
Shu Zhou is located in the southwest, while Qizhou lies in the west; a distance of ten thousand miles separates them. Even traveling by Sword Flight would take a considerable amount of time.
After flying for over an hour, they finally caught up with Ji Yuzhu, who was standing on a verdant Flying Sword and seemed to have intentionally slowed down to wait for the others.
Chen Mengmeng sent a telepathic message to Su Chengyu, discussing the content of their group chat.
Upon hearing this, Su Chengyu realized that in focusing on his cultivation, he had missed these important pieces of information. Thankfully, Chen Mengmeng, who was in the know, provided him with the clues.
"Number Five is from an Ancient Clan, which isn’t surprising, but it’s also a clue. Just make a note of it yourself. As for what Yang Junmo said, that’s easy to understand. He deliberately muddied the waters to throw everyone off and avoid having his identity exposed. You don’t need to worry about it."
In his mind, Su Chengyu thought Yang Junmo’s tactics, thinking himself clever at the fifth layer, were naive; he himself was at the stratosphere, far more astute than Yang Junmo.
"So, does that mean there is no one to avoid as he mentioned?" Chen Mengmeng asked.
"That statement is probably true. Didn’t you say Number Two also claimed to know about it? It’s likely that Yang Junmo doesn’t want to reveal who this person really is, so he went along with it and released a smoke bomb."
The information shared by Yang Junmo made Su Chengyu take it seriously. The official early opening of the Kunwu Realm’s trial must have a purpose, and this significant individual must exist.
"Then who could this person be?" Chen Mengmeng inquired.
Su Chengyu too was pondering in secret. Yang Junmo’s status was already solid, but it was quite clear that the identity of this person was even more formidable—likely to be from the Celestial Royal Family.
"No matter who it is, we might not even encounter them. It’s not worth worrying over," Su Chengyu reassured.
He didn’t share his analysis with Chen Mengmeng to avoid adding to her mental burden. After all, with the vastness of Kunwu Realm, it was highly improbable to bump into such a significant figure by chance.
Several hours later, the group finally arrived within the borders of Qizhou, entering what was broadly referred to as the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
The Hundred Thousand Mountains generally include all the mountains within several provinces in the west. Upon arriving in Qizhou, one could see below an endless chain of mountain ranges, some soaring into the clouds, others rugged with bizarre rocks and shrouded in heavy mist, their entirety inscrutable.
The seven people landed their swords and arrived at a small county town closest to Kunwu Mountain, where the towering Kunwu Mountain could now be clearly seen.
Kunwu Mountain is not a single peak, but a range of mountains with a vast area. According to the "Xia Country Mountain and Sea Scriptures," beasts roam within Kunwu Mountain, including a species known as Long Chi, also called Zhi (with the fourth tone).
This species is formidable. It resembles a wild boar but has a pair of legs and belongs to Ancient Relic Species. An adult Long Chi is comparable to a Golden Core Realm Cultivator and is difficult to deal with. However, the horns of the Long Chi are excellent materials for crafting, and their inner cores are exceedingly valuable.
