Chapter 581: Chapter 405: Hidden Intentions Revealed in the Endless Night

At this moment, the remains of this tremendous power still lingered within Su Mu. Su Mu could even directly attempt to wield this power that did not belong to him.

Prowess surged between every gesture!

In an instant, as if enlightened, consciousness suddenly became clear.

It was like seeing the light through clouds, revealing the clear sky!

Like a long drought meeting the rain, every minute and every second, Su Mu was greedily absorbing insights, devouring them like an unceasing Seeker, craving every bit of realm comprehension.

The path that once seemed obscured in endless night began to be illuminated, like the battle where the Great Sage slew the flood dragon a thousand years ago, lighting up the night and guiding the way forward.

Amidst this, Su Mu quickly took the first step, surpassing his own power level in realm comprehension.

He then linked it with the understanding taught by Thunder God for breaking through the Fifth Forging; paper theories finally seemed shallow. Now that Su Mu could employ this power firsthand, he began to apply it in practice.

"The severance of the Path of Fifth Forging originates from the ban of the Master of Endless Black Fog..."

"But there might be a path to break through the ban!"

"Moreover, my Martial Arts are inherently different from those of the human Martial Arts in this world... the imprints of Qi and Blood, Spiritual Power, and physical body already have a nascent form. What’s left is the Martial Momentum and the Power of Origin Rules demonstrated in the battle with the flood dragon. The Ye Family ancestor was reminding me..."

"In the past, perhaps just forming one imprint would suffice to achieve Martial Saint, but now it’s impossible. A lone imprint would only be interfered with by the Master of Endless Black Fog, leaving no one able to break through the Sword Intent... Only by Five Seals Combined might there be enough power to blast open the ban of the Master of Endless Black Fog..."

"At that time, just a crack would suffice!"

In this process, once Su Mu took the first step, his realm level began to rise rapidly, swiftly surpassing his own power level, and then he began to integrate and synthesize.

Thus, the breakthrough in realm level also began to feed back into his own power, with Spiritual Power showing premonitions of breakthrough first.

In his Sea of Consciousness, the slowly transforming Crystal Human Form showed signs of change, beginning a startling transformation into the Diamond Human Form. For a time, the Silver Radiance of the Sea of Consciousness was splendid, with star sands of Spiritual Power shining like stars.

As time passed, the time for the first Superpower soon arrived.

Without hesitation, Su Mu activated it a second time, continuing his insights.

[Target: Self]

[Range: One meter]

[Time: Slowing]

[Flow Speed: Sixty-nine times]

The accelerating transformation of the Crystal Human Form made the Superpower Su Mu unleashed even stronger, with the Time Flow Speed unknowingly reaching a terrifying sixty-nine times.

...

Southern War Zone, special ward.

On the hospital bed, Jiang Miaomiao’s face was flushed as her body trembled in the Sea of Consciousness where she was cocooned shut.

The Dream Shadow sighed softly, gazing northward, her sigh filled with intense reluctance and nostalgia. As the long sigh concluded, more resolve emerged.

"Teacher, you will definitely succeed, definitely..."

The Dream Shadow made a certain decision.

On the hospital bed, two lines of tears flowed from the unconscious Jiang Miaomiao’s eyes, and then the self-sealed Soul Cocoon began to show a subtle change.

...

Tens of thousands of miles away, in the land of the Northwest Desert. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Suddenly, a terrifying Spiritual Power shot up into the sky, causing a sandstorm in the depths of the Northwest Desert, with yellow sand swirling wildly.

"The Master is about to break through. Such a breakthrough in such a short time, what an astonishing Spiritual Power."

Dao Yi was momentarily stunned but then showed fanaticism, immediately guarding respectfully beside Fire Shadow.

Dao Yi’s heart was blazing hot at that moment; with the Master’s breakthrough in strength, the seizing of the Saint Slayer was closer!

...

Inside a luxurious stretched sedan heading toward Ye City.

In the back seat sat a pair of young men and women. The woman wore a white cheongsam, her long hair falling to her waist. One hand cupped her chin as she listened rather uninterestedly to another person in the car, then gazed out at the passing scenery.

"Xue’Er, I heard you like tea. A few years ago, I accidentally found an ancient tea tree in a certain Beast Cave, with leaves slender as needles and color like white snow. I brought it back and transplanted it in the Ye Family. After several years, it grew its first batch of tea leaves, and I personally picked the tea tips to make this box of Snow Tea."

The man handed over the Snow Tea.

"Thank you."

Huangfu Xue reached out to take the tea, but the man’s hand smoothly grasped hers, a flicker of annoyance crossing her heart as she gently withdrew her hand.

Ye Jian was stunned, immediately apologizing.

"Xue’Er, I was abrupt. You haven’t been back to the Imperial Capital for quite a few years. Later, let me show you around."

"It’s fine, and you should just call me Huangfu Xue. I don’t really like others calling me Xue’Er, and I’m not accustomed to it."

"Alright."

The man maintained a gently warm smile as if bathing in spring breezes, while inside he sneered.

"Bitch."

Ye Jian coldly chuckled inside with silent curses, thinking that Huangfu Xue dared to show attitude in front of him. If not for Huangfu Xue’s special constitution which would aid his competition for the Martial Saint Tower in the future, he would not even consider this lowly Huangfu Xue or propose to ally with the Huangfu Family through marriage.

Currently, only Huangfu Tian of the Huangfu Family is valuable enough to catch Ye Jian’s eye, but Huangfu Tian could be considered part of the Ye Family.

But after all, Huangfu Tian bears the surname Huangfu and has no qualification to compete for the Ye Family’s Martial Saint Tower.

"However, despite pretending to be aloof, this bitch does have some allure, and her temperament is extraordinary. In the future, I will make you completely submit to me, hehe."

The two continued their conversation as Ye City grew nearer, and Ye Jian shifted the topic to the Celestial Pride exchange meeting at the grand banquet.

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Xue recalled her promise with Su Mu not long ago and became a bit more interested.

Noticing this, Ye Jian sneered inwardly, but lightly chuckled outwardly.

"Xue’Er, you need not worry. I am confident in this battle."

As his words fell, a massive aura flashed and vanished, immediately making the Grandmaster driving the car feel suffocated, breaking out in cold sweat.

"Ye Jian, you’ve been promoted to Titled?"

"A few insights recently, just by chance."

Noticing Huangfu Xue’s shock and joy, inside Ye Jian lamented that she was indeed a bitch, though he enjoyed her surprise.

Huangfu Xue was indeed slightly startled and somewhat delighted, but not for the reason Ye Jian thought. Instead, she anticipated how this newly promoted Fifth Forging Title Ye Jian would be severely trounced by Su Mu.

She knew Su Mu quite well; he never engaged in anything without assurance, like when he kept his promise during the Guangshen Province selection contest by beating up those from the Lin Family.

Facing a hundred alone, ultimately taking the top of the Huaxia Celestial Pride List in one battle.

So, what about this time?

Although her elder sister hadn’t detailed it, Huangfu Xue guessed that in the battle against Phantom Demon, Su Mu was likely the main force, possibly even directly killing the Phantom Demon.

Despite Ye Jian being a Demon, he had only recently been promoted, suggesting a gap in strength compared to the Phantom Demon.

How would Su Mu thrash Ye Jian this time?

Truly exciting!

Just then, the smoothly traveling luxury sedan suddenly shook, as a beam of Golden Light soared, capturing the duo’s attention.

"Looks like someone has reached the Sixth Floor of Junlin Pavilion, quite interesting."

Huangfu Xue watched the Golden Light in the sky, showing an odd expression. Could it be Su Mu at such timing?

Seeing Huangfu Xue fixedly watching the Golden Light, Ye Jian spoke with a tone of slight disdain.

"Though the Junlin Pavilion belongs to my Ye Family, due to my cultivation matters, I have yet to visit it. Since someone has triggered such a phenomenon, we should take a look too."

"I might as well give it a try, see what rank I, Ye Jian, can leave on the Sword Monument."

Ye Jian’s seemingly nonchalant tone was filled with great confidence. Leaving a name on the Sword Monument required passing the Eighth Floor of Junlin Pavilion, along with time and performance requirements.

Those who left their names were top-tier talents cultivated by prestigious forces, Demons among Demons, with rumors of even contemporary Martial Saints.

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Xue smiled and agreed.

"Alright, let’s go see."
