Supreme Warrior in the City-Chapter 2399: Difficult to Attain Saint Emperor

For three hundred years, Su Yang hadn’t taken a single step outside the Heavenly Sect; he was always cultivating in seclusion in this place.

In fact, more than two hundred years ago, Su Yang had already reached the Peak of Saint King realm, just a step away from the Saint Emperor Realm.

Under normal circumstances, Su Yang should have entered the Saint Emperor Realm two hundred years ago. However, he struggled for two hundred years and still hadn’t advanced to the Saint Emperor realm, which left Su Yang quite puzzled about what was going on with his body.

To enter the Saint Realm, he required much more power than others. Likewise, to reach the Saint Emperor Realm, he needed significantly more power. What’s going on here?

During these two hundred years, Su Yang consumed about seventy percent of the spiritual source he had previously acquired, leaving thirty percent remaining.

By normal estimation, such an amount of spiritual source would be enough for over a hundred Saint Kings to advance to Saint Emperor. In other words, the spiritual source Su Yang absorbed this time was dozens of times more than the average Saint King, yet he still hadn’t advanced, which was very strange.

Could it be that this situation is similar to when Su Yang advanced to Saint back then?

Su Yang didn’t know when he would reach the end by continually absorbing spiritual source. He estimated that the remaining thirty percent wouldn’t be enough for him to advance to the Saint Emperor Realm. So, he simply decided not to continue in seclusion and left the rest of the spiritual source to other cultivators in the Nine Realms to cultivate.

Although he hadn’t yet advanced to the Saint Emperor Realm, Su Yang clearly felt that his strength had significantly improved.

Taking a step back to the Nine Realms gathering place, Su Yang saw many cultivators there.

The strong ones all found secluded places to cultivate. They would each guard this gathering place to prevent any unexpected situations.

Half of the Nine Realms’ people entered the World Melting Furnace, while the other half remained in the Nine Realms.

Su Yang had initially considered sending all life from the Nine Realms into the World Melting Furnace, but after hearing the old man’s remarks about farming, he gave up on the idea.

Because the Guardian God was still farming in the Nine Realms, and if Su Yang sent all life into the World Melting Furnace, it would certainly arouse the Guardian God’s suspicion. This would easily summon the Guardian God, which was not a scenario Su Yang wanted to see.

So, Su Yang decided to leave half of the people in the Nine Realms. However, he was fully prepared. If something went wrong in the Nine Realms, he would immediately send the remaining half into the World Melting Furnace to avoid the crisis.

There were now many strong cultivators in the Nine Realms. If those Saint Venerables took action, they could send the remaining half of the Nine Realms’ people into the World Melting Furnace within three days, which was quite convenient.

Su Yang returned to the place and happened to see Su Zhan stationed there.

Over these twenty years, Su Zhan had finally advanced to the Saint King realm, dramatically improving his strength.

Seeing Su Yang out of seclusion, Su Zhan couldn’t help but be delighted: "Yang’er, have you advanced to Saint Emperor?"

"Not yet!" Su Yang shook his head and explained his situation. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

After hearing Su Yang’s words, Su Zhan was also puzzled. He had also cultivated the Secret Technique of Devouring the World, but didn’t face such difficulty advancing. This meant Su Yang’s situation was related to his own body’s condition.

"But it’s nothing!" Su Yang smiled: "Everything I do now is in preparation for advancing. Once I advance to the Saint Emperor Realm, I will surpass those who have been in the Saint Emperor Realm for a long time. Consider it as accumulating power in advance."

Su Zhan sighed softly, saying, "Although you say so, you’re still not a Saint Emperor. Your current strength is still weaker than the weakest Saint Emperor!"

This was what Su Yang worried about the most. He sighed lightly and said, "It’s okay, there won’t be anyone attacking the Nine Realms soon. I’ll go to the Endless Starry Sky again to continue seeking opportunities, and maybe then advance to the Saint Emperor Realm."

"That’s all we can do!" Su Zhan nodded, looking towards the Endless Starry Sky with a somewhat dazed expression.

Su Yang followed by Su Zhan’s side, noticing his expression, he softly said: "Father, you’re thinking of mother again?"

Su Zhan gave a wry smile: "It’s been so many years, I’ve already given up hope. But your sister still refuses to give up. However, if we could truly find your mother, that would be wonderful!"

Su Yang sighed quietly, recalling his father had told him about his mother.

Originally, when Su Zhan fought the first-generation Heavenly Court Master and fell into the Demon Abyss, Su Yang’s mother also dueled against someone in the Outer Heaven. But strangely, after that battle, Su Yang’s mother vanished without a trace, as if she had suddenly disappeared.

After learning about this, Su Yang had specifically gone to the Outer Heaven to search, but never found any trace.

Therefore, Su Yang suspected that during the duel, his mother might have been swallowed by a Demon Beast passing through the Outer Heaven. After all, their strength back then was too weak, and they weren’t opponents of slightly stronger Demon Beasts.

Over the years, Su Yang had been busy with the affairs of the Nine Realms, leaving no time to investigate this matter. But his sister, Black Widow, wasn’t like this; she had been investigating the matter in the Endless Starry Sky, trying to find their missing mother.

Looking at Su Zhan, Su Yang knew even though his father said he had given up, in fact, his father was the most persistent one. In his heart, he never truly believed his wife was gone!

In his thoughts, Su Yang suddenly felt some disturbance in his personal space. He was surprised, opened his personal space, and found two Jade Pendants inside flashing with light. These two Jade Pendants were given to him by Xuan Yi in the Qing Guang guarded world.

Su Yang took out the two Jade Pendants, feeling puzzled.

Xuan Yi gave him these two Jade Pendants to find the two people who came out of that world. Xuan Yi had said before that these two Jade Pendants would only light up when they encountered the Jade Pendants on those two people.

What’s going on now? Why are these two Jade Pendants suddenly lighting up?

At this moment, a few people swiftly flew over from the entrance of the World Melting Furnace. Leading them was Black Widow.

"Father, brother!" Black Widow was full of excitement: "Look what I’ve found!"

The two raised their heads, only to see Black Widow holding a Jade Pendant in her hand.

Seeing this Jade Pendant, Su Yang was pleasantly surprised. Because this Jade Pendant was identical to the two in his hand. Moreover, this Jade Pendant was also emitting light, meaning the Jade Pendant in Black Widow’s hand was one of the ones Xuan Yi mentioned from those two people!
