Chapter 848: Chapter 848: Xuan Turtle Island

"If that’s the case, let’s hurry and leave this place. If those two Demon Kings come back, it’ll be trouble," Su Chengyu said.

"Agreed, then let’s part ways here, until we meet again."

After saying this, Yu Shuang immediately took to Sword Flight, clearly not recognizing Su Chengyu.

Su Chengyu had also hesitated, considering whether to reveal his identity to Yu Shuang and ask about his mother’s situation in the Yu Clan, but in the end, he had decided against it.

After Yu Shuang left, Su Chengyu didn’t linger either and quickly departed. Right now, cultivation and increasing his realm were still the most important things for him.

The Kunwu Realm trial this time allowed Su Chengyu to witness many outstanding figures among the younger generation, all of whom were in the Golden Core Realm. He felt that compared with these individuals, he still had a long way to go.

Su Chengyu continued to fly over the sea. After more than half a month, exploring several unnamed islands and experiencing several battles with some gains, he had almost gathered all the materials needed for refining the Dragon Spirit Pill. He was just short of two main ingredients: the Heaven Heart Fruit and the Qingming Spiritual Leaf.

The Heaven Heart Fruit tree typically grows near spiritual veins, blooming once every hundred years and bearing fruit a hundred years after that. A single fruit could prolong life and ward off all poisons for an ordinary person.

The Qingming Spiritual Leaf, on the other hand, was even rarer. In the outside world, it was an extremely precious and invaluable treasure of heaven and earth.

These two ingredients were what Su Chengyu had yet to find. Before he realized it, more than a month had passed since entering the Kunwu Realm, and Su Chengyu had not encountered any real acquaintances. During this period, he had come across several practitioners, but as everyone was wary of each other, there wasn’t much interaction.

Over the past month and a half, Su Chengyu practiced The Cloud Rising Technique, greatly increasing his flight speed, faster than his Sword Flight. As for the Qi Watching Technique, Su Chengyu had only touched upon the threshold; it was one of the most difficult spells to practice in Mount Qingcheng.

Su Chengyu determined his direction and prepared to head towards Xuan Turtle Island. Xuan Turtle Island was the largest island in the eastern sea area and also the safest place there. The entire island was enveloped by a protective array. Beasts from the Kunwu Realm could not enter Xuan Turtle Island, and only trialists were allowed inside.

There was also a Teleportation Circle on Xuan Turtle Island. This circle was connected to the other four districts, allowing one to travel to the other areas. Of course, if one was powerful enough, they could also choose to traverse the Kunwu Realm directly.

Besides the Teleportation Circle, Xuan Turtle Island also had a special trial area known as the Ascending Heaven Tower, set up by the Kunwu Immortal. Everyone who entered Xuan Turtle Island had one opportunity to enter the Ascending Heaven Tower and face the trials.

The Ascending Heaven Tower had ten floors, with the tenth floor called Heaven beyond Heaven. Those who entered the Ascending Heaven Tower and passed each floor would receive corresponding rewards. The higher one climbed, the more substantial the rewards.

However, the higher one went, the harder the challenges became. For the first five floors, failure in the trials posed no risk to one’s life. Starting from the sixth floor, however, failure meant a risk to life, and one might die within the tower. Moreover, once someone failed, all the rewards accumulated from the first five floors would be lost. Even if they survived, it would be as if their efforts had gone down the drain, with no rewards to show for it.

To ascend to the sixth floor required both immense courage and strength, as well as a spirit of determination. Most trialists would not attempt the sixth floor.

As for the legendary tenth floor, Heaven beyond Heaven, very few have managed to ascend it. Such individuals were rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, only the most outstanding and exceptional of that era would have a chance to climb to Heaven beyond Heaven.

Aunt Feng had told Su Chengyu that reaching Heaven beyond Heaven would allow one to see the Divine Sense left by the Kunwu Immortal and receive the Immortal’s bounty.

Aunt Feng herself had only reached the ninth floor, not daring to challenge the tenth.

Of course, even reaching the ninth floor required one to be a top genius.

Aunt Feng mentioned that Su Chengyu’s father, Su Zhedian, once ascended to the tenth floor, as did the current Sect Master of the Demon Slayer Department, Yang Chengyin, who also reached the Tenth Heaven of the Ascending Heaven Tower.

Before this, Su Chengyu had heard from his senior brother Cai Zi Feng that a man from Mount Longhu, named Long Xuan, had also ascended to the Tenth Heaven.

It’s not only in the East District’s Xuan Turtle Island that one finds an Ascending Heaven Tower; similar towers exist in each of the other four districts as well. However, each person only gets one chance to ascend the tower. For example, if one enters the tower in the East District, they cannot enter it again in the West District.

Su Chengyu had been in the Kunwu Realm for over a month and planned to visit Xuan Turtle Island first to see whether or not he wanted to try his luck at the Ascending Heaven Tower. Since his current realm was not quite sufficient, he wasn’t in a rush to attempt it.

As one only has a single chance at the Ascending Heaven Tower’s challenge, naturally, he should make thorough preparations before attempting it, striving to reach at least above the sixth floor.

Using the Cloud Rising Technique, Su Chengyu hurried towards Xuan Turtle Island. When he flew over a small island, he saw sword flashes below and descended from the clouds.

"Finally, I’ve encountered someone familiar."

Standing atop a towering tree, Su Chengyu saw three people fighting in the distance. Two men were ganging up on one woman wielding a red long whip with fierce techniques—it was Kou Shishi, who bore a grudge against Su Chengyu.

With Kou Shishi’s strength, being teleported to the trials in the East District’s sea area was unfortunate luck. The best trial zone for those in the Martial King Realm is the Middle District and then the West District. The sea area of the East District greatly hampers the movement of Martial Kings unable to fly.

Thus, trialists in the Martial King Realm who end up in the sea area of the East District either hide on an island, waiting out the duration of the trials, or they take a chance and try to cross the sea to Xuan Turtle Island to attempt the Ascending Heaven Tower, or they use a Teleportation Circle to leave the East District.

However, crossing the sea for someone in the Martial King Realm carries immense risks; encountering a hurricane or Beasts in the sea often means certain death.

Kou Shishi was originally of the Second Grade Martial King Realm. She had made some gains in the Kunwu Realm and had since advanced to the Third-grade Realm. However, the two men attacking her were both of the Fourth Level, above her own.

Relying on her advanced Martial Arts, Kou Shishi had the power to contend against a single Fourth Level opponent. But against two Fourth Level practitioners working together, she was no match.

Faced with their joint attacks, Kou Shishi could only struggle to hold on, her defeat inevitable.

From his vantage point above, Su Chengyu watched. After ten more moves, Kou Shishi was struck by a palm, her body sent flying backward as she spat out blood from heavy injuries and crashed to the ground in a sorry state.

"Don’t come any closer, the two of you. Do you know who I am?" Kou Shishi said with a fierce exterior but underlying timidity.

Su Chengyu shook his head slightly. Kou Shishi only knew this one tactic, to exert pressure through her identity. Unfortunately, this was the Kunwu Realm, not Yunzhou. Even if she were a princess of the Royal Family, it might not be effective here.

"Of course, we know. Aren’t you the daughter of Kou Wentian?" one of the horse-faced men said with a sinister smile.

"Knowing who I am, you still dare lay a hand on me? Tired of living!" Although Kou Shishi appeared defiant, inside she was in complete panic.

"Miss Kou, there’s no need to keep up the front. This is the Kunwu Realm, not Yunzhou. Your identity can’t threaten anyone here," the horse-faced man said with a laugh.

The two men revealed sinister grins and advanced towards Kou Shishi, who paled with fear and looked visibly frightened.
