Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 164 – One-hit wonder

Chapter 164 – One-hit wonder

Su Yun looked up and saw that there were seventy-two Yuqing Dongtian in the air, some big and some small. These Dongtian passed through the various Ling worlds and were connected to the fragments of the seventh Ling world.

"So..."

Su Yun suddenly asked, "If someone opens all seventy-two Dongtian and finds the seventy-two fragments of the seventh Ling world, can they be pieced together to form a whole?"

Ying Ying thought for a moment and said, "It is possible, but the difficulty lies not in how to piece together the seventy-two fragments, but in how to open the seventy-two Dongtian."

She explained, "If the Dongtian can be continuously opened, then Xue, Qu, and Qiu, the three Tai Chang, all have the ability to merge the seventy-two fragments. With their wisdom, they can also calculate the positions of other Dongtian. But why didn't they calculate further? Because they lack the power."

She flew up and pointed to the Dongtian in the first Ling world, saying, "If this is the Yuqing Dongtian corresponding to the first fragment you calculated, we set the minimum power needed to open it as one. Then the power needed to open the second Dongtian is two, the third Dongtian is three, and the fourth Dongtian is four, and so on. When you open the seventy-second Dongtian, the power needed to open the Yuqing Dongtian is seventy-two times the power needed for the first Dongtian!"

Su Yun's heart shook slightly.

"Is your magical power seventy-two times that of the Ling Shi who have cultivated to the sixth Dongtian of the Yulin realm? This is impossible!"

Ying Ying said, "Opening one more Yuqing Dongtian has limited benefits for your cultivation. Xue, Qu, and Qiu, the three Tai Chang, have rare talents indeed, but even they have only attempted forty-six kinds at most."

She tapped Su Yun's forehead and said seriously, "Don't think too much about it. Your goal now is to directly open the sixth Dongtian, and defeat Qiu Shuijing, who is known as the Tian Dao Yuan monster!"

"Tian Dao Yuan monster?" Su Yun was surprised.

Ying Ying nodded, "When Qiu Shuijing entered Tian Dao Yuan, the Tai Chang at that time was Xue Tai Chang, who had high expectations for him and believed he was the most talented of his generation. Qiu Shuijing did not disappoint him and surpassed other scholars in various competitions, even those who had entered the school many years before him! The title of Tian Dao Yuan monster was also spread from that time."

She flew up and pressed the symbols and formulas she had arranged into a book, saying, "Defeating Xue Tai Chang at the same level is only the first step. The next step is to open the sixth Dongtian and defeat Qiu Tai Chang Qiu Shuijing! You need to be even more of a monster than him!"

Su Yun was inspired and opened the book to study it carefully.These symbols and formulas were absorbed by Ying Ying from the records of the three Tai Chang who opened the Dong Tian, Xue, Qu, and Qiu, and combined together to make the obscure symbols and formulas of the three men easy to understand.

Even so, this book was extremely obscure and difficult for Su Yun to learn.

Symbols were the plane of divine power.

In Ying Ying's words, flattening divine power is symbols!

Formulas are formulas composed of symbols.

Different symbols represent different divine powers.

Divine power needs continuous contemplation and honing to be reflected through the spiritual energy, so it is called spiritual divine power. Symbols are simpler, easier to learn, and easier to master than divine power. Symbols only need to be contemplated and integrated with qi and blood.

Mastering different symbols was a challenge for Su Yun.

The spiritualists of each academy in the Wenchang Academy have basically started to learn about symbols, but only the monsters in the Ge Wu Academy have no teachers, so Su Yun can only learn through Ying Ying.

Ying Ying is a book monster of the Tian Dao Academy. Although she is knowledgeable, her knowledge is extremely profound and not something that beginners can learn.

Fortunately, although Su Yun was a beginner in symbols, he was smart, eager to learn, and would ask if he didn't understand, so he didn't learn slowly.

Ying Ying has been supervising Su Yun's progress, but after waiting for four days, Su Yun still had no progress.

"Has Su Shi Zi still not learned until now?"

Ying Ying couldn't help but doubt: "He has taken so long and still hasn't calculated the location of the first Yu Qing Dong Tian? Did I misunderstand him? Is he actually a fool disguised as a smart person?"

These days, she only saw Su Yun buried in reading, writing, painting, and calculating something, but Su Yun has not yet opened the first Yu Qing Dong Tian, which made her uncertain about Su Yun's progress.

"The day of the challenge with Di Ping is coming soon, and there are only two days left."

Ying Ying was a little anxious, pacing back and forth: "In two days, he must open the first Yu Qing Dong Tian! Otherwise, he will not be able to compete with Di Ping at all!"

What made her itchy was that when Su Yun was writing and drawing, he was avoiding her, sneaking around, afraid of being discovered by her.

When she was in Su Yun's spiritual world, Su Yun was writing and drawing outside, and when she came to the outside world, Su Yun was writing and drawing in the spiritual world.

"You little brat, playing hide and seek with me!"

Ying Ying couldn't resist her itchiness and flashed back into Su Yun's spiritual world the moment he released her.

"I want to see what you are drawing!"

Ying Ying snatched the paper and pen from Su Yun's spiritual hand like a flying object, and aggressively said, "Don't come over!"

Su Yun's spiritual energy hurriedly came to snatch it back, but was pointed on the forehead by the pen of this book-sized girl, and then was scolded by her, so he had to stand there awkwardly.Ying Ying's face was serious as she flipped through Su Yun's drawings. Her expression gradually changed from seriousness to surprise, and the surprise only grew stronger.

Over the past four days, Su Yun had been drawing the patterns of various major Jade Clear Immortal Realms on paper, filling them with runes and listing various data.

Ying Ying quickly flipped through the pages and saw that Su Yun not only calculated the position of the first Jade Clear Immortal Realm, but also the positions of the following sixty-one Jade Clear Immortal Realms!

If given time, Su Yun could probably calculate all seventy-two Jade Clear Immortal Realms!

Although Ying Ying simplified the runes and formulas, it was still amazing that she was able to understand all of them in such a short time and calculate the positions of sixty-two Jade Clear Immortal Realms with her own abilities.

"What are you calculating so many Jade Clear Immortal Realms for?"

Ying Ying suppressed her shock and said calmly, "Even if you calculate all of them, you won't be able to open so many. Why waste time? You're foolish!"

Su Yun lowered his head in shame and explained, "I just feel that if Master Shui Jing can open forty-three Jade Clear Immortal Realms, it would be difficult for me to surpass him in the same realm and magical power if I can't open as many."

Seeing his embarrassment, Ying Ying softened her heart and said with a smile, "Okay, I won't call you foolish anymore. Are you a genius now? You're about to fight Di Ping, and the sooner you open the Jade Clear Immortal Realms, the faster your cultivation and spiritual power will improve, and the greater your chances of winning. I'm afraid that spending too much time on calculations will delay your progress."

Su Yun took the paper and pen from her and said with a smile, "Give me half a day to finish calculating the remaining ten Immortal Realms. From tomorrow on, I will focus on opening the Immortal Realms and challenging Master Shui Jing!"

Ying Ying had no choice but to leave him alone.

Su Yun calculated until late at night before he finally stopped, ate, washed up, and went to bed.

The next morning, Su Yun got up, washed up, made breakfast, and called for a carriage. Chi Xiaoyao also sat on the carriage. When they arrived at the gate of the academy, Dong Physician also came over, stopped the carriage, and jumped onto it.

Su Yun sat alone on the second floor of the carriage, closed his eyes, while Ying Ying flew out of his spiritual realm and looked around. She saw that behind their carriage, one after another carriage came out of the academy's fork road.

Many strange-looking people sat on those carriages, probably from various states and counties in the north. Some people on the carriage stood up and pulled down the curtains.

In addition to these people, many scholars and teachers from the Wen Chang Academy also squeezed into the carriages and followed their carriages out of the academy.

Ying Ying saw more than thirty carriages in total, all in a neat queue, occupying the road.As they drove onto the Yun Bridge, Su Yun saw dozens of mountain-bearing carriages converge into the caravan. The small buildings on the carriages were crowded with half-human, half-demon monsters who were the monsters from the Tian Shi Yuan coming to work in the city. Over forty carriages were packed full of them.

Ying Ying was a little confused. "Could it be that Master Shui Jing is so hated? So many people want to see him get beaten..."

She flew downstairs to ask Chi Xiaoyao. Downstairs, Chi Xiaoyao and Doctor Dong sat by the window. Chi Xiaoyao said gently, "The first time I saw Junior Brother Su, he was being chased by Lin Qingsheng and a group of students from the Shuofang Academy. Because he came from the Tian Shi Yuan, the monsters from the Tian Shi Yuan came out to protect him, and a bull demon died protecting him. So Junior Brother Su made a deal with Lin Qingsheng to fight to the death today."

Ying Ying looked out the window at the other carriages and saw that one of them had several cat demons who were also peering out the window.

Doctor Dong said casually, "Su Shi said that he hoped all the villagers on the street would come to watch the fight and see him avenge his fellow villagers. So everyone on our street came."

Watching this scene, Ying Ying suddenly felt a surge of heat rising in her heart.

This momentum, this kind of force, made her suddenly feel an inexplicable power surging into her heart!

The caravan followed them, making this momentum, this force stronger and stronger, more and more powerful!

Ying Ying flew back to the second floor and saw that Su Yun was still sitting there, as if in a deep sleep, but she knew that at this moment, Su Yun was in the purest state of mind, screening out all distractions!

When his last distraction disappeared, he would locate the Jade Void Divine Realm and open the Divine Realm!

Just then, Ying Ying suddenly felt a divine movement in Su Yun's spiritual realm, although it was slight, it was clear!

"Has his Jade Void Divine Realm opened?"

Just as Ying Ying thought this, a second movement came, followed by a third and fourth!

At this moment, the Lin family, one of the seven great families, led by Lin Zhiyuan, came out with a group of experts and boarded carriages, one of which was the most peculiar, with a prisoner's carriage made of black iron rods.

The prisoner's carriage was filled with the sound of howling, and Lin Qingsheng sat in it, panting heavily.

He no longer looked like the tall, handsome man he used to be. He could not be called a human being now. His bones were exposed, and sharp bone spurs grew out of his back. Horns grew from his head, his fangs were exposed, and his feet were like sharp claws.

Behind him were membranous flesh wings.

There was also a black dragon coiling around his body.

The black dragon suddenly straightened its body, and Lin Qingsheng tore out the dragon tendons from his body!

Lin Qingsheng pulled out the tendons, making them taut, and turned the black dragon into a seven-stringed guqin!

Lin Qingsheng played the guqin, his killing intent was sharp, and the cages around him shattered!Lin Qingsheng's long hair danced wildly, his face twisted and distorted, his throat emitted a roar, his eyes were like lightning as he looked towards the cloud bridge in another direction!

On that cloud bridge, Su Yun rode on a mountain carriage, and he was sitting on the second floor with his eyes closed, resting.

Lin Qingsheng roared repeatedly, and the demonic energy around his body was like a group of dragons, shuttling back and forth in front and behind him.

Lin Zhiyuan felt that his son was almost unable to restrain his killing intent, and quickly shouted, "Sheng'er! Endure it! Kill him in front of the Shaofang Academy!"

Lin Qingsheng's rationality was still there, and he suppressed the killing intent in his heart, staring at Su Yun.

Lin Zhiyuan stood up and saluted Zuo Songyan from afar, saying, "Left Imperial Censor."

Zuo Songyan snorted coldly, glanced at Lin Qingsheng, and said coldly, "Has the Lin family stooped so low? Even willing to turn their own son into a disaster gray monster! Lin family head, you are so ruthless."

"The way to victory is naturally to use all means necessary."

Lin Zhiyuan smiled slightly and said leisurely, "As long as my Sheng'er survives, he will be the victor. Sacrifices are also worth it."

Zuo Songyan's face darkened, and Master Tu Ming whispered, "Imperial Censor, isn't Lin Qingsheng no longer human? How strong is he now?"

"I don't know."

Zuo Songyan gritted his teeth and whispered, "However, we must see how strong Lin Qingsheng really is. I suspect that he is not the only one who has turned into a disaster gray monster. The demonic nature in Shaofang City has grown rapidly in recent days, and it must be related to this. Am I right, Scholar Wu Tong?"

The young girl Wu Tong was in the same carriage as them, and she nodded lightly, saying, "Old Piao has a clear understanding. There are 1,600 people in the seven major families who have similar demonic natures to Lin Qingsheng. As for their strength, it is not something I can know."

Zuo Songyan's face darkened, and he said, "From the fight between Lin Qingsheng and Su Yun, we can see his strength, and we will be prepared. Lin Qingsheng now is already a Ling Shi in the Yuan Dong realm..."

He was faintly uneasy. Lin Qingsheng had turned into a disaster gray monster and had advanced to the Yuan Dong realm. Although Su Yun was talented, could he test Lin Qingsheng's limits?

If they didn't test Lin Qingsheng's limits, no one would know how strong the disaster gray monster army prepared by the seven major families was!

Finally, the two teams of carriages arrived at the gate of Shaofang Academy, getting closer and closer to the gate.

Lin Qingsheng's demonic nature became even stronger, his roar becoming louder, and the demonic energy around his body was like dragons, becoming more and more dense.

At the gate of Shaofang Academy, thousands of disciples were waiting, even Tong Qingyun, the young Imperial Censor, was present. Other families from the seven major families had also come here. The seven major families also wanted to know how much a Ling Shi's strength would increase after turning into a disaster gray monster.Finally, Su Yun's carriage stopped, and the carriage carrying Lin Qingsheng also stopped.

Su Yun walked to the carriage door and opened it.

Lin Qingsheng roared angrily, stood up suddenly without getting off the carriage, and directly urged his magical powers. His demonic energy turned into a demonic dragon roaring and howling all over his body, accompanying his qin sound to rush towards Su Yun who opened the carriage door!

Su Yun looked up and punched out against the overwhelming magical powers.

"Clang!"

The melodious sound of the bell rang, and at the same time, the first Dongtian behind him revolved and appeared.

Followed by the second Dongtian, the third Dongtian!

In an instant, forty-five Dongtians appeared behind him, large and small, arranged in a disorderly manner. The violent heaven and earth aura surged and turned into Su Yun's violent blood in the copper furnace of heaven and earth!

The bell rang out from his fist, and the big yellow bell appeared in front of his fist. The bell mouth faced Lin Qingsheng, and its power was magnificent, causing the dragons to collapse!

Where the power of this punch hit, Lin Qingsheng's flesh and blood shattered, disintegrated, and his body exploded, leaving only a head flying into the sky.

Su Yun turned around, closed the carriage door, knocked on the car window, and said to the coachman, "Go to the Immortal Residence of Tianfang Tower and challenge my teacher, Master Shuijing."
