Chapter 613: 196 Promotion to Elder, Guarding Duty_2
 

Meanwhile, news had begun to spread throughout the Ten Imperial Cities.

“Have you heard? A Paragon Tao Child from the Yu Long Palace was slain by Jiuling Immortal Mountain, and now people from both Yu Long Palace and Jiuling Immortal Mountain are battling it out in the Heavenly Demon Sacred Forest!”

“Hiss, no wonder those people from Yu Long Palace had such a strong Evil Qi about them earlier, it all makes sense now!”

“We’ve just driven back the Demon Clan, and now Yu Long Palace and Jiuling Immortal Mountain are quarrelling amongst themselves….With so many people from Yu Long Palace having just arrived, are they planning to wipe out the people from Jiuling Immortal Mountain in the Heavenly Demon Sacred Forest?”

“Ah! It’s people from Jiuling Immortal Mountain, they’re here too!”

Within half a day, people from both Yu Long Palace and Jiuling Immortal Mountain have successively arrived in the Ten Imperial Cities, all of them rushing towards the Heavenly Demon Sacred Forest.

Su Yu was rather startled when he heard the news.

The two major immortal sects were going to go to war in the Heavenly Demon Sacred Forest? If that was the case, then this news would certainly shake up the entire Daqian Cultivation World!

Several months later.

The Land Immortal Mansion, Dayu Peak.

Taoist Tianyu, Huang Zhu and other strong figures from the Land Immortal Mansion had retreated from the Heavenly Demon Sacred Forest. After hearing the news, Su Yu also returned to Dayu Peak.

In the small fenced courtyard, Su Yu, while brewing tea for Taoist Tianyu, listened to his narration about the conflict between Yu Long Palace and Jiuling Immortal Mountain.

Taoist Tianyu said with a frown, “Something’s not right about this. The conflict between Yu Long Palace and Jiuling Immortal Mountain came too quickly. First, a Paragon Tao Child from Yu Long Palace died, then Yu Long Palace ambushed and killed a core elder in the late Nascent Soul stage from Jiuling Immortal Mountain.”

“This led to an immediate conflict between Yu Long Palace and Jiuling Immortal Mountain in the Heavenly Demon Sacred Forest, without any diplomatic discussions.”

“Although people from both Yu Long Palace and Jiuling Immortal Mountain have dispersed now, it is clear that this matter will not end here and the two major immortal sects are likely to clash again.”

Su Yu didn’t care too much about it, after all, the matter between Yu Long Palace and Jiuling Immortal Mountain had nothing to do with him.

However, hearing his Master putting it this way, Su Yu couldn’t help but feel curious and asked, “Master, do you suspect someone is trying to instigate a conflict between Yu Long Palace and Jiuling Immortal Mountain?”

Taoist Tianyu contemplate for a long time, then, after drinking some Spiritual Tea, he continued, “Not long after you left the Heavenly Demon Sacred Forest, someone tried to ambush me. Unfortunately for them, I’m no longer injured as I was before. Unless it’s a Dividing Spirit Realm ambush, I fear nothing.”

“The person failed and had to retreat. But from their cultivation methods and strength, it doesn’t seem to be someone from our Daqian Cultivation World.”

Su Yu was startled and asked, “If it’s not someone from our Daqian Cultivation World, then who is it?”

Taoist Tianyu carefully expressed his thoughts, “I can’t be sure, maybe someone from the wasteland, or maybe, the Azure Prison Immortal Palace?”

Before Su Yu could respond, Tianyu continued, “Besides the assassination attempt on me, other forces have encountered similar incidents, causing a fair amount of disturbances.”

“It’s just that the conflict between Yu Long Palace and Jiuling Immortal Mountain is the most severe and has overshadowed any frictions and conflicts amongst other factions.”

He glanced at Su Yu and said, “You should be extra careful if you go out. Although the major Human Clan forces joined hands this time to deal with the Demon Clan, the outstanding results do not mean that the relationship between the factions is harmonious.”

“There’s even a likelihood that due to the vast treasures obtained from the Heavenly Demon Sacred Forest, the Daqian Cultivation World will become even more chaotic due to resource issues.”

“There is discontent not only due to scarcity, but also distribution inequality. If some people or forces could not get a chance in the Heavenly Demon Sacred Forest, they may try to turn others’ opportunities into their own.”

“Buzz!”

At this point, both Taoist Tianyu and Su Yu became alert and looked towards the direction of Moon Lanz Peak. The large formation there had been activated, hiding most of the movements, but they could still sense the momentum of someone breaking through the Core Formation stage and trying to reach into the Nascent Soul Realm.

Upon sensing the fluctuation, Su Yu showed a hint of joy and said, “It’s Junior Sister Qingquan, she’s been preparing for so long, and is finally about to breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm.”

The fluctuation associated with Taoist Qingquan’s breakthrough to Nascent Soul Realm lasted nearly a month, and then gradually quiet down on the Moon Lanz Peak, restoring peace.

More than a month after Taoist Qingquan broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, on the Guijian Peak, another surge of energy broke through the Core Formation bottleneck, aiming for the Nascent Soul Realm.

Seeing both women breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm, Taoist Tianyu felt envious and turned to Su Yu, roaring in frustration, “The two of them have broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm, when do you plan to break through?”

Su Yu, who was earnestly begging the Old Master to share the mysterious secret of arranging the fourth-order lower-class large array, hurriedly replied, “Soon, soon.”

“I’m only a superior Spiritual Root talent. Naturally, it’d take about a hundred more years for me, right?”

Taoist Tianyu was so angered that his beard bristled and he wanted to hit Su Yu; fortunately, Su Yu had successfully arranged a new fourth-order lower-class large array, which spared him from being beaten up.

Even though his disciple had not yet broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, Su Yu had become a fourth-order lower-class Alchemist, Fu Lu Master and Array Master with his cultivation in the Core Formation stage…

That’s not considered inferior to other Paragons, right?

Barely passable. Though satisfied, there was always a smug smile of accomplishment on Taoist Tianyu’s face; in his mouth, Su Yu remained barely a passable disciple.

He shouldn’t let this lad get cocky, or he may take two hundred years to breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Half a year later.

No sooner had Su Yu returned to Dayu Peak from celebrating Luo Qianyu and Taoist Qingquan’s breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm than Taoist Tianyu called him into the small fenced courtyard.
