Chapter 144 – Difficult to subdue

"The foundation-building technique in Yuanshuo is called the Qigong Method, while the Heavenly Court God Illumination in overseas countries is called the Guiding Method. The meaning between the two is somewhat different."

Comparing the differences in techniques between the two places, Su Yun thought to himself: "My classmate once told me about the differences between Yuanshuo in the east and overseas countries. He said that overseas countries ask the gods, while Yuanshuo asks the people. This is also reflected in their techniques."

Although the Heavenly Court God Illumination mainly focuses on visualization, it mainly visualizes the gods and is somewhat similar to god worship.

The Yuanshuo technique is more about the individual's internal cultivation, such as the transformation of the Honglu furnace and the stacking of the sun and moon, which refine the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth for one's own use. The martial arts within it are based on observing some divine beasts or natural phenomena, thus achieving the effect of enhancing one's martial strength.

"I have only compared the foundation-building techniques, and I don't know much about the other techniques in overseas countries. It's better not to be biased."

Su Yun thought for a moment and asked, "Ying Ying, do you know about overseas countries?"

"I have never left the Tian Dao Academy before, and my knowledge of overseas countries comes from the books in the Wen Yuan Pavilion."

Ying Ying sat on his shoulder, propping her chin with her hands, and said, "I heard that overseas countries were still in a primitive period when Yuanshuo was already highly developed. There was a time when the emperor ordered people to build ships and explore overseas, only to find that the people there were still living in a primitive state. The emperor lost interest and did not conquer them. Later, many Ling Shi (spiritual masters) crossed the ocean to go there, and wrote books such as "The Chronicles of the Sea Country," "The Record of Strange Tales from Overseas," "The Examination of Foreign Countries," "The Map of the Sea Mistakes," "The Map of Sea Monsters," and so on. The language of Yuanshuo spread there, and gradually the language spoken in overseas countries became Yuanshuo."

Su Yun was lost in thought, thinking of that period when many Ling Shi crossed the ocean to explore unknown lands, studying the geography, customs, and culture of Yuanshuo.

It was an exploration of unknown lands, and they were bound to discover many strange and unbelievable things.

"Later, the civilization of overseas countries gradually developed, and many people were sent to Yuanshuo to study its culture and techniques, and the Yuanshuo cultivation methods were transmitted overseas. Because they had to cross the ocean, there were many storms, demons, and inexplicable phenomena, and many people died."

Ying Ying stretched out her palm and pressed down, and the text and patterns of the Heavenly Court God Illumination Guiding Method that were swirling around Su Yun condensed into a book, floating in front of him.

"Studying in Yuanshuo as a foreign student was a trend in overseas countries. It is said that those countries regarded Yuanshuo as a superior country."

She compressed the other five techniques into books as well and said, "Until forty-seven years ago, everything changed. I watched Qiu Shuijing grow up. The first book he chose when he entered the Tian Dao Academy and the Wen Yuan Pavilion, I remember it all. One day, he entered the Wen Yuan Pavilion, but instead of choosing a book, he said goodbye to me."Ying Ying was lost in thought.

At that time, Qiu Shuijing no longer had the spirit of a heavenly prodigy. Instead, he was depressed but determined.

He told Ying Ying that he wanted to study overseas, to learn the techniques and abilities of the people in the foreign country across the ocean. He said that their powers and weapons surpassed those of Yuan Shuo, and their knowledge was called the "new learning" which overwhelmed the old sacred knowledge of Yuan Shuo.

He wanted to learn from them and then teach the people of Yuan Shuo, to change the current situation of weakness.

"Later, Qiu Shuijing returned from overseas, but I didn't meet him. When I met him again decades later, he was already the Tai Chang of the Tian Dao Yuan."

Ying Ying asked him if he had achieved his ambition, but he shook his head.

Su Yun and Ying Ying fell silent and stopped talking.

Suddenly, Ying Ying became excited and hit Su Yun's forehead with a book, urging him to quickly complete his spiritual abilities by practicing the six techniques.

Su Yun tried to focus on his training, but he couldn't help but think of Qiu Shuijing's failure to change Yuan Shuo and wondered if his path was wrong. He also thought of the conversation between the great figure and the young Qiu Shuijing at the temple.

"Don't lose focus!" Ying Ying hit him again with a book, warning him that he wouldn't be able to learn the six techniques if he didn't concentrate.

When the Jiaolong carriage arrived at the Tong family, Zuo Songyan was already waiting there with Tong Lao Shenxian and Tong Qingyun. Su Yun greeted them and sat quietly, waiting for the meeting to begin.The old Taoist and Zuo Songyan were chatting and laughing. Tong Qingyun seemed to willingly lower his status below Zuo Songyan's and asked Su Yun, "I heard that Su Xiaoyou has a fairy technique, can we see it this time?"

"Is this why Tong Qiuyu was sent out to fight?" the curious girl Wu Tong asked.

"Tong Dajia wants to see this fairy technique, so he sent out Tong's strongest disciple to force out this technique from the eldest senior brother," Zuo Songyan explained.

Tong Qingyun's gaze fell on her, and Wu Tong was shocked. Tong Qingyun's gaze went straight to her without any hesitation. Obviously, his cultivation level was probably even above that of the old Taoist!

And she couldn't see Tong Qingyun's demon nature in her heart!

A human and a demon can see the demonic nature in a person's heart, but Wu Tong couldn't see Tong Qingyun's demonic nature. This was strange. Even Qiu Shuijing could see some demonic nature, but Qiu Shuijing's demonic nature was very short-lived and would be erased by him after it appeared.

"Tong Qingyun cannot be without demonic nature!" Wu Tong continued to sense, but Tong Qingyun's heart was like a holy land without any stains.

"Little girl, you can't speak recklessly..." Tong Qingyun said, but as soon as he spoke, Wu Tong was shocked to see Tong Qingyun's seemingly pure heart suddenly become extremely dark. A twisted and hideous face appeared in the darkness, behind which were countless terrifying demons, like the hell that Buddhism spoke of!

"This person usually hides very well, but when he speaks, the demonic nature in his heart is released!" Wu Tong was excited and trembling. "Just coming here has greatly increased my cultivation!"

At this moment, a sudden dragon roar came, and a yellow bell appeared above Su Yun's head, bursting out a ringing sound.

"Clang!"

The yellow bell vibrated, and shield-sized dragon scales flew from outside the immortal's residence, rapidly rotating around Su Yun. The big yellow bell rotated, and the sound of the bell shook.

Suddenly, the bell sound became dim, and it turned out that there were too many dragon scales, which broke through the defense of the yellow bell!

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

A series of breaking sounds came, and Su Yun, who was sitting there, was instantly pierced by the shield-like dragon scales all over his body!

Tong Qiuyu was extremely excited, jumping and flying, continuing to use his divine power. Dozens of dragon scales flew in the air and stood up like dozens of mirrors, each with a strange dragon eye in the center.

The dragon eyes opened.

"Boom!"

The divine light in the mirror burst out, shining on Su Yun's body. The violent shock came, and Su Yun, along with the dragon scales and the big yellow bell, was blasted high into the air and hung on the curtains of the immortal's residence.

"We got it!" Wu Tong exclaimed excitedly.Suddenly, scales flew up one by one, and Su Yun, who was under the scales, was almost unharmed except for his clothes being cut.

Tong Qiuyu's face changed drastically, but she saw the scales break apart and turn into elemental energy that dissipated.

On the curtain window, Su Yun jumped up and came to Tong Qiuyu in the air with a step, pushing forward with both hands, and the Huang Zhong crazily rotated and pushed forward!

Tong Qiuyu desperately urged his blood and energy, using his divine power to resist, but Su Yun's fierce magic power directly crushed him!

Tong Qiuyu saw his undeveloped divine power directly shatter, and then his fingers twisted, the bones cracking, and his arm bones snapped backwards!

He was hit by the terrifying impact and flew up with a whoosh, sticking to a bronze pillar in a big character shape.

Su Yun stopped, and Tong Qiuyu fell to the ground with a thud.

Su Yun took out a Qinghong coin and held it in both hands, respectfully placing it in front of Tong Qingyun, saying, "Tong Pushe wants to see my immortal technique, but I am not available today. Pushe has a funeral to attend to, and I don't want to disturb him. Let's do it another day."

Tong Qingyun looked at him with a smile, and he never looked at Tong Qiuyu from start to finish.

"Is this the immortal body that can withstand the impact of immortal techniques?" Tong Qingyun looked at Su Yun and asked kindly.

The young girl Wu Tong was inexplicably excited. In her eyes, Tong Qingyun's demonic nature became heavier and heavier, and in the end, Tong Qingyun's figure seemed to be a demon king wearing an emperor's crown, sitting on the throne of the emperor, with countless gods and demons kneeling at his feet!

"His ** is completely twisted by him! Power, longevity, make him more like a demon than a human!" The young girl Wu Tong suddenly opened the second celestial realm in her spiritual world, making her even more excited. "If I could stay by Tong Qingyun's side, my cultivation would surely soar, and I could reach the Elemental Movement Realm in just a few days! Unfortunately, he is too dangerous!"

In just a moment when Tong Qingyun's demonic nature erupted, the young girl Wu Tong took the opportunity to cultivate to the second celestial realm, and her cultivation strength increased at an incredible speed!

Su Yun shook his head and said, "Tong Pushe is overthinking it. There is no immortal body in this world, and there is no one who can live forever. Even the emperor and the saint cannot escape death."

He walked outside.

Tong Qingyun's voice came from behind him, "There is an immortal body in this world, because there is an immortal realm and immortal visitors! There is a legend that a person who can live forever escaped from the Celestial Market Wall. He is the son of the God King! He carries the secret of immortality!"

Su Yun ignored him and left the Tong family.

Li Zhuxian, Ye Luo, and Bai Yuelou followed Su Yun. Li Zhuxian turned his head and waved, "Wu Tong, let's go!"The young girl Wu Tong followed them reluctantly, thinking to herself, "What a pity for this demonic cave..."

Tian Shi Yuan, the deserted area with no one, and the God King Palace.

Xue Qingfu, Xue Saint, sat quietly there, facing the God King who was surrounded by brilliant divine light and the old demon king who was covered in demonic energy from head to toe.

And the God King Palace was like a court, with the eight heavenly generals and other demon kings sitting in danger, with fierce appearances.

"Xue Saint, you came alone, but do you think you can leave alive?"

The old demon king suddenly shouted, "Today is different from before. Let me tell you, the old immortal of the Zhou family is here too!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Wanan, the old immortal of the Zhou family, walked out of the back hall of the God King Palace. Although this woman was at least 170 years old, she looked like a beautiful woman in her twenties or thirties, with a seductive charm.

"Xue Qingfu, are you convinced of your death today?"

Zhou Wanan covered her mouth and laughed, "Do you think no one can anticipate your coming here and persuade the God King and the old demon king? As long as we know your movements, killing you is not difficult."

Xue Qingfu sighed and said softly, "That's what I mean too, Zhou family."

He took out a jade pendant and placed it on the table, pushing it forward.

The God King and the old demon king in the deserted area both looked at the jade pendant, which was like a gateway, with a half-unfolded book engraved on it.

"God King, old demon king, it's time to keep your promise."

Xue Qingfu took the token and stood up, walking out and saying, "Send her on her way."
