Enduring humiliation for three years, seizing the elixir, the treasure, and the holy maiden.

Jiang Shiyu stared at him.

"You little rascal, you're cunning and ruthless."

"It's not as simple as I initially thought."

Su Chen raised an eyebrow.

"Yo."

"Is this a compliment?"

Jiang Shiyu rolled her eyes at him and turned her face away.

Stop being so vain.

"I will do as you say."

"I listened to whatever you said the whole way."

"But you have to remember this."

Jiang Shiyu's voice turned colder.

"I, Jiang Shiyu, will remember this favor."

"There will always be a time to pay it back."

Su Chen hadn't expected that this girl could be quite interesting when she got serious.

"make a deal."

Su Chen stood up and dusted himself off.

"Then let's get started."

"You, hide behind me."

"Take care of yourself."

Jiang Shiyu nodded.

She stopped trying to be brave and obediently retreated behind Su Chen.

The ankle that was exposed outside the skirt was still covered with some dust.

Su Chen didn't pay any attention.

He held the square seal in his palm.

His brow furrowed.

A wisp of crimson heavenly tribulation power slowly surged out from the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness.

The power of that calamity was unleashed.

The temperature inside the entire stone tower suddenly rose.

Su Chen flicked his fingers.

That streak of crimson then seeped into the square seal.

hum.

The seal emitted a low hum.

The faint crimson hue on his body suddenly thickened.

Su Chen pushed open the tower door.

Outside.

The spirit beasts filling the hall seemed to have sensed something.

They all turned and looked this way.

A dense array of eyes.

Beneath the cold light of that night pearl, it gleamed with a faint glow.

"Let's go."

Su Chen gave a low shout.

The square seal held in the palm of his hand suddenly slipped from his grasp.

boom!

In the blink of an eye.

That seal swelled into a mountain that blotted out the sky.

The mountain-like imprint was on his body.

Strands of crimson lightning, baring their fangs and claws, roamed about.

That was the malevolent energy of a heavenly tribulation.

One of the most domineering things in this world.

Ordinary spirit beasts, let alone being hit by it.

The sheer force of the lightning tribulation was overwhelming.

That's enough to utterly destroy them.

The seal descended directly upon the horde of beasts.

With a loud bang.

The sky collapsed and the earth cracked.

Those few Qilins, comparable to Nascent Soul cultivators, were the first to be attacked.

It was enveloped by that crimson lightning.

The cloud of mist surrounding him instantly dissipated.

One by one, they lay on the ground, trembling like leaves, unable to even lift their heads.

That fiery red golden crow chick, that eerie black python.

They were so oppressed by that murderous aura that they were firmly rooted to the spot.

The hall was filled with mythical beasts.

Beneath that mountain-like square seal.

A dark mass of people knelt down.

"Right now!"

Su Chen grabbed Jiang Shiyu, and with a swift movement, transformed into a streak of light.

They skimmed along the ground, heading towards the other path deep within the main hall.

That seal suppressed the beasts.

They carved out a path for the two of them.

Su Chen moved extremely fast.

All that could be heard was the whistling wind.

It's unclear how long they looted.

Before my eyes, a door deep inside was right in front of me.

Su Chen waved his hand.

The mountain-like square seal shrank back with a loud bang.

It fell back into his palm.

just.

The seal is on the surface of that square seal.

The original ancient patterns have now faded considerably.

Those few strands of crimson that were still clinging to each other had mostly scattered.

Su Chen held the seal tightly, feeling a slight pang in his heart.

Good guy.

This has truly damaged the foundation.

That's it.

Su Chen put the seal back into his sea of ​​consciousness.

As long as the green hills remain.

Step over that door.

The scene before us has changed once again.

Jiang Shiyu stood inside the door, gazing at the scene before her.

Silly.

Good guy.

What kind of grand hall is that?

It was clearly a library with an endless top.

Rows and rows of bookshelves, one on top of the other, densely packed, piled up one on top of the other.

They piled it up until it reached the dark top, where the top was nowhere in sight.

On each shelf.

It's all filled with them.

There is a jade slip.

There are animal hide scrolls.

There were also some strange booklets that Su Chen couldn't even name.

A faint, aged fragrance of ink wafted from the study.

"This is..."

Jiang Shiyu's voice was trembling.

She walked step by step to the nearest row of bookshelves.

He stretched out his fair hand and pulled a jade scroll from the shelf.

He probed inside with his divine sense.

"The Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang..."

Jiang Shiyu's hand trembled slightly.

"This...this is an ancient martial arts technique that has been lost for countless years!"

She pulled out another roll.

"Nine Netherworld Soul Refining Technique..."

Draw another roll.

"The Classic of Returning to the Origin of Simplicity..."

The more Jiang Shiyu flipped through the pages, the wider her eyes widened.

This shelf is full of martial arts techniques.

I randomly picked out a roll.

Put it outside.

Those major sects would fight tooth and nail to get them.

It can be found here.

And so, they were piled up, one roll next to another.

It was covered in dust.

Su Chen was also strolling slowly among the bookshelves.

He randomly picked a few rolls.

one look.

Hey.

They really are all extraordinary things.

There is a sword technique that teaches the way of controlling a sword, which is somewhat similar to his Luoyun Guanri sword technique.

There is also a body-refining method, which is extremely powerful.

Su Chen stroked his chin, pondering for a long time.

It's a good product, though.

only...

The ancient cultivator's cultivation technique floated into Su Chen's mind.

The scroll that Master Hongfu once treasured.

Compared to that roll.

These so-called ancient techniques are right in front of me.

The difference is not just a little bit.

Su Chen put the jade slips back in his hand.

That's it.

These look intimidating.

For me personally, it's not of much use.

"that..."

"elder brother...."

Jiang Shiyu, carrying a large stack of jade slips, came over.

He was completely speechless.

However, he had made a prior agreement with Su Chen that he couldn't refuse to call him "brother."

But calling it that feels a bit cheesy.

A holy woman like her has never addressed a man in such a way.

"These techniques."

Jiang Shiyu's aloof demeanor softened considerably.

After all, the cultivation techniques here are extremely precious, and they don't exist in the outside world at all.

"I...I want to stay here a little longer."

"Consider this carefully."

Su Chen was delighted; the way he was called "Brother Su" made him feel exceptionally comfortable.

"OK."

Su Chen nodded.

"but."

Su Chen held up three fingers.

"At most, three days."

"After three days, it doesn't matter whether you've grasped the meaning or not."

"You all have to follow me and keep moving forward."

Jiang Shiyu was stunned for a moment.

"How come it's only been three days?"

"So many cultivation techniques..."

"Three days is too many."

Su Chen interrupted her.

Jiang Shiyu bit her lip.

Those two little tiger teeth reappeared.

After a long pause, he finally nodded.

"become."

"As you wish, three days."

She held the stack of jade slips and found a dark corner.

He sat down cross-legged.

Su Chen shook his head.

I found a clean spot, leaned against it, and sat down.

Close your eyes and rest.

And this moment.

Beneath the dojo in Tian Shu Star City.

In the drainage tunnel at the other end.

But things weren't so peaceful then.

A pungent, bloody stench permeated the dark passageway.

It lingered for a long time.

Wang Mang leaned against a damp stone wall, his sword in hand.

He was breathing heavily, gasping for breath.

...
