Chapter 821
Recovery, Guiding the Way
Rumble.
The deep rumble of thunder echoed endlessly.
Clusters of luck gathered in the sky, and spiritual energy was visibly poured downwards.
Ye Tongxuan's expression kept changing.
"Su Mu has broken through again?"
He couldn't help but ask the Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect.
As for why he used the word "again", Ye Tongxuan couldn't explain it either.
The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect glanced at him but did not speak.
However, the joy on his face betrayed his true feelings.
The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect was overjoyed.
Su Mu has been in seclusion for two months, and now he has finally succeeded.
Ye Tongxuan was unaware, but the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect was well aware that Su Mu had always been injured.
Their main purpose in venturing to Da Luo Tian was to help Su Mu recover from his injuries.
During this period, they traveled around, secretly searching for the medicinal herbs that Su Mu needed to heal his injuries.
Only now has Su Mu truly recovered.
However, there's no need to tell Ye Tongxuan about this.
It would be a good thing if Ye Tongxuan misunderstood that Su Mu's strength was about to break through again.
But then again—
Looking at the commotion in the sky, even the Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect felt a sense of dread.
Su Mu does seem to have become stronger.
Although the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect had never fought Su Mu, Su Mu had the experience of killing two Dao Extreme Realm experts, so the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect knew that Su Mu's strength was definitely above his own.
However, the Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect always felt that Su Mu might be stronger than him, but not by much.
After all, he was also a Dao Realm expert, while Su Mu hadn't broken through much earlier than him.
Only now does the Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect realize that he was wrong.
That's completely wrong.
He now had a feeling that if Su Mu wanted to kill him, he would probably die without a doubt.
The thought that Su Mu had broken through to the next level only a few months earlier than him, yet his strength had already far surpassed his own, filled the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect with a sense of powerlessness.
Fortunately, he and Su Mu were friends, not enemies.
Otherwise, he would be even more desperate now.
With a thought, the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect turned to look at Ye Tongxuan.
"You saw it? What do you think of Su Mu's strength compared to your Eternal Heaven?"
The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect spoke up.
"The Eternal Heaven is all-powerful and omnipotent."
Ye Tongxuan said expressionlessly.
"Alright, I guess you've never seen the Eternal Heaven make a move. Let's not talk about how strong the Eternal Heaven is, but just look at the Four Heavenly Kings of your Great Luo Heaven. How do you think their strength compares to Su Mu's?"
The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect said.
"What do you mean?"
Ye Tongxuan's face darkened, and he said coldly.
"You know what I mean."
The Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect smiled and said, "Looking across the Great Luo Heaven, in a one-on-one fight, the only one who can reliably defeat Su Mu is probably your Changsheng Tian."
No, even your Eternal Heaven might not be able to guarantee a victory.
"Hmph, I don't believe that there are many people in your vast world who are stronger than Su Mu."
Ye Tongxuan snorted coldly.
He had also been to the Great Thousand World and seen many Dao Realm experts there, but in his personal opinion, those Dao Realm experts might not be as strong as Su Mu.
Just look at those Dao Realm experts who broke into the Great Luo Heaven. They were all thrown into the void turbulence by the Luo Heaven Formation and haven't come out yet.
Su Mu is the only Dao Realm expert who has survived the Luo Tian Grand Formation unscathed.
Of course, Su Mu was able to enter the Great Luo Heaven smoothly because the Eternal Heaven did not make things difficult for him.
Otherwise, Ye Tongxuan believed that even Su Mu would not have been able to enter the Great Luo Heaven unscathed.
You're right.
The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect rarely expressed his agreement, nodding and saying, "Looking at the vast world, there aren't many people who can surpass Su Mu."
Since you know his power, why not abandon the darkness and join us in accomplishing something truly momentous and unprecedented?
"What important thing are you planning?"
Ye Tongxuan couldn't help but ask, "The big event you're talking about, could it be the conquest of our Great Luo Heaven?"
"That's all the vision you have."
The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect said disdainfully, "You can ask around. Neither I nor Su Mu have ever done anything to invade others."
The world is vast and can accommodate so many people to let loose and do whatever they want.
I have always believed that cooperation is worse than conflict.
"Unfortunately, this is just your idea."
Ye Tongxuan said, "You can't control the Great Qian Dynasty, nor can you control the Yanfu Sect."
The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty wants to seize the secrets of my Great Luo Heaven; this is a war to the death.
"I can't control it, but someone else can."
The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect spoke in a somber tone.
Ye Tongxuan's gaze unconsciously drifted towards Su Mu's secluded cultivation location.
Of course he knew who the Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect was talking about.
Can Su Mu control the Great Qian Dynasty and the Yanfu Sect?
“You know he can do it.”
The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect continued, "Even if it doesn't work now, it will work in the future."
The more you contribute now, the sooner that day will come.
The Grand Elder of Yokoyama Sect rarely showed such sincerity.
This caused a slight stirring in Ye Tongxuan's heart.
Before he could speak, a figure slowly walked out from in front of him; it was Su Mu.
Su Mu had already concealed his aura, and he looked just like an ordinary person.
If Ye Tongxuan hadn't known his strength, he might have thought the person walking towards him was just an ordinary person.
Without revealing a trace of his aura, Su Mu had indeed become stronger again.
Ye Tongxuan sighed inwardly. Who else could improve so quickly at the Dao Realm peak?
He, a peak Dao Source Realm cultivator, has been stuck in this realm for many years.
Sometimes he even wondered if Su Mu's Dao Extreme Realm was fake.
Who can improve their cultivation level to the highest realm as easily as breathing and drinking water?
While feeling moved, Ye Tongxuan was also curious. Su Mu had become stronger again, and he wondered what Su Mu would do next.
To be honest, Su Mu didn't need to personally handle the recruitment of talent; the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect was enough.
After all, they recruited martial artists below the Dao Source Realm.
This doesn't even require two Dao Realm experts to intervene.
Moreover, Ye Tongxuan always felt that what Su Mu was trying to do was probably not so simple.
Just as he was thinking this, Su Mu had already walked up to him.
suddenly.
Su Mu looked up at the sky and said calmly.
"Sorry, the commotion we just caused was a bit too much, but it did point them in the right direction."
"what?"
Ye Tongxuan was completely confused and didn't quite understand what Su Mu meant.
Just then, a deafening roar suddenly came from the sky.
Immediately afterwards, the sky seemed to be torn open like a piece of cloth, with a crack appearing instantly.
Several figures passed through the gap and appeared before everyone's eyes.
Ye Tongxuan was shocked and his expression changed drastically.
A Dao Realm expert in the vast world!
They actually traversed the chaotic void and arrived at the Great Luo Heaven!
Ye Tongxuan finally understood what Su Mu meant by those words.
The commotion caused by Su Mu's breakthrough allowed the Dao Realm expert of the Great Thousand Worlds, who was in the turbulent void, to sense the location of the Great Luo Heaven.
Those Dao Realm experts who were originally disoriented in the chaotic void are now guided by a beacon.
These Dao Realm experts were all incredibly powerful. Seizing the opportunity, they broke through the void and descended into the Great Luo Heaven.
Ye Tongxuan's expression suddenly became extremely tense.
This is the sixth level of the Great Luo Heaven. The highest cultivation level here is only the Returning Void Realm, and he is the only one in the Dao Source Realm. How can he possibly withstand several Dao Extreme Realm experts?
I wonder if the Eternal Heaven has noticed the changes here.
Even if they notice, it will take them some time to come to their aid.
And this time was enough for these Dao Realm experts to turn the Sixth Heaven upside down.
Ye Tongxuan subconsciously looked at Su Mu.
Currently, within the sixth level of the Great Luo Heaven, perhaps only Su Mu can turn the tide and stop these Dao Extreme Realm experts from acting recklessly.
Su Mu didn't even glance at Ye Tongxuan, but calmly looked at the Dao Realm experts.
"metropolitan!"
The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect suddenly whispered.
Su Mu followed his gaze and saw a burly middle-aged man looking at the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect with a surprised expression.
Su Mu knew that this person was Huang Chao, the sect leader of Hengshan Sect.
"Elder, what are you doing here?"
Could it be that while we were trapped in the void turbulence, the Great Qian Dynasty had already conquered the Great Luo Heaven?
Huang Chao spoke, his voice like muffled thunder, making people's eardrums ache slightly.
The Grand Elder of the Hengshan Sect opened his mouth, unsure how to respond. He looked at Su Mu as Ye Tongxuan had, his eyes filled with a plea for help.
He really didn't know how to answer the sect leader.
Does that mean he handed over the Yokoyama Sect to Su Mu?
Does he mean he doesn't want to be complicit with the Great Qian Dynasty?
If he really said that, the sect leader would be the first to kill him.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you."
Su Mu slowly opened his mouth and said, "Da Qian did not conquer Da Luo Tian."
Apart from you few, no one else has entered the Great Luo Heaven.
"Who are you? Are you from the Great Luo Heaven?"
Huang Chao frowned and said in a deep voice, "Elder, could it be that you have sided with the Great Luo Heaven?"
"Of course I am not a person of the Great Luo Heaven."
Su Mu shook his head and said, "You can consider me the new sect leader of Hengshan Sect."
"If you are the new sect leader of Hengshan Sect, then who am I?"
Huang Chao laughed in anger, "Ignorant brat, how dare you spout such nonsense?"
"You could be a Supreme Elder of the Hengshan Sect, or you could be—"
Su Mu smiled faintly and said, "Dead man."
"What it is ultimately depends on your own choice."
Before Su Mu could finish speaking, Huang Chao was already furious.
His eyes widened, his face filled with murderous intent.
"Boy, you are courting death!"
He took a sudden step forward.
With a deafening roar, the earth trembled.
Ye Tongxuan and all the other geniuses from the Great Luo Heaven who had been recruited by Su Mu changed their expressions drastically and involuntarily retreated.
The aura emanating from Huang Chao was so powerful that it made it difficult for them to even breathe.
They even felt as if the sky had fallen, and those with weaker cultivation levels were even unable to stand steadily.
If their companions hadn't supported them, they would have been overwhelmed by Huang Chao's imposing aura and collapsed to the ground.
All the Dao Realm experts who appeared with Huang Chao were curiously sizing up Su Mu.
Before they entered the Great Luo Heaven, they had never heard of such a powerful figure in the Great Thousand World.
They've only been gone a short while, and someone's already trying to seize the Hengshan Sect?
The Hengshan Sect is no ordinary force; it is one of the top forces in the Great Qian Dynasty.
It seems even the Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect has been subdued by this young man. Just who is he?
The experts at the pinnacle of the Dao realm did not act rashly, but instead wanted Huang Chao to test Su Mu's strength.
They could only tell that Su Mu was a Dao Extreme Realm expert, but they couldn't fathom just how strong he really was.
"very good."
Su Mu looked at Huang Chao and said slowly, "It seems you have made your choice."
Since you've chosen to die, don't blame me.
He raised his hand and gently clenched it.
boom!
A deafening clap of thunder sounded.
A long sword suddenly descended from the sky at an incredible speed.
Su Mu casually slashed forward, and a sword light hundreds of feet long appeared, slicing a crack in the sky with a whoosh.
Huang Chao, the sect leader of Hengshan Sect, changed his expression.
He crossed his arms and pushed forward.
With a loud bang.
The sword light had already struck Huang Chao, the sect leader of Hengshan Sect.
Huang Chao let out a muffled groan, his feet sliding backward along the ground for hundreds of feet before he finally regained his footing.
His clothes on his arms were blown to shreds, revealing his well-defined muscles.
The contempt on Huang Chao's face had vanished, replaced by a solemn expression.
One move from the crowd reveals their skill.
After exchanging a single move, Huang Chao, the sect leader of Hengshan Sect, already knew that Su Mu's strength was no less than his own.
"No wonder he dared to speak so arrogantly; he must have some skill."
Huang Chao straightened up and said coldly, "What a clever tactic of 'besieging Wei to rescue Zhao'! We attack Da Luo Tian, and Da Luo Tian sends people to cut off our rear?"
Huang Chao recognized Su Mu as a powerful figure from the Great Luo Heaven.
Otherwise, how could a powerful figure whose strength is no less than his suddenly appear in this vast world?
The other Dao Realm experts also nodded in agreement.
They shared the same idea as Huang Chao.
A Dao Realm expert cannot appear out of thin air; he must have a growth experience.
But none of them knew Su Mu.
If Su Mu is a powerful figure from the Great Luo Heaven, then that makes sense.
“I have already said that I am not a person of the Great Luo Heaven.”
Su Mu shook his head and said casually, "However, I have a good relationship with Da Luo Tian, so I can't just watch you destroy Da Luo Tian."
Everyone except Master Huang can leave now.
Otherwise, if I were to drive you all out, you wouldn't look good.
Huang Chao snorted angrily.
The other Dao Realm experts also showed anger on their faces.
What if a kid who hasn't even grown up yet is at the Dao Realm?
With so many of them, are they really afraid of someone at the Dao Realm?
No matter how strong the opponent is, can they possibly deal with so many of their peers at the same time?
"Boy, the private affairs of the Hengshan Sect are none of our business, but if you say that, don't blame us for ganging up on you."
"A Dao Realm expert said coldly."
Several Dao Realm experts simultaneously took a step forward.
A powerful aura was released, causing the earth to shake instantly.
Thump thump.
Those geniuses from the Great Luo Heaven could no longer hold on and fell to the ground, trembling.
Even Ye Tongxuan's legs were trembling, and he had to exert all his strength to avoid falling to the ground.
Only Su Mu and the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect, both at the Dao Extreme Realm, remained standing.
The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect was also trembling slightly, clearly feeling the pressure.
Su Mu waved his sleeve, and an invisible force formed a barrier, blocking the powerful pressure.
Ye Tongxuan and the others immediately felt a sense of relief, and their faces showed a look of horror.
When they looked at Su Mu's back again, their eyes were filled with admiration.
Is this Su Mu's strength—to face several equally powerful opponents single-handedly?
Swish!
Su Mu swung his long sword.
A beam of light suddenly fell from the sky.
The expressions of those Dao Realm experts changed, but before they could react, they felt Su Mu's figure instantly disappear.
It wasn't Su Mu who was distancing himself, but them.
Their figures are moving away from the Great Luo Heaven at an incredible speed.
Ye Tongxuan's pupils contracted.
While others didn't realize it, he did—it was the Luo Tian Grand Formation!
Within the Great Luo Heaven, Su Mu was actually able to control the Luo Tian Grand Array!
Su Mu actually used the Luo Tian Grand Formation to throw these Dao Extreme Realm experts out of the Great Luo Tian.
The only one who survived was Huang Chao, the sect leader of Hengshan Sect!
Huang Chao stared wide-eyed and looked back, only to find that his companions had vanished without a trace.
His comrades, who had just been fighting alongside him, suddenly vanished.
Huang Chao experienced far more strange things in his entire life than he did today.
He had absolutely no idea how the kid on the other side had done it.
Those companions were all experts at the Dao Realm.
Who exactly is this person?
How did he manage to do that?
"Sect Leader Huang, out of consideration for the favors I once received from the Hengshan Sect, I will make an exception and give you another chance."
Su Mu said slowly.
"Sect Master, Emperor Qian has gone mad. You don't need to follow him to the bitter end. Becoming a Supreme Elder will give you a chance to break through to the Primordial Realm."
The Grand Elder of the Yokoyama Sect couldn't help but shout loudly.
"Elder, is this why you betrayed Hengshan Sect? Just because they allowed you to break through to the Dao Extreme Realm?"
Huang Chao looked at the Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect and said coldly.
"Sect Master, didn't you tell me that a wise bird chooses a good tree to perch on? If something is impossible, there's no need to go down a dead end."
The Grand Elder of Hengshan Sect said with a wry smile, "During the days you were trapped in Da Luo Tian, many things happened in Hengshan Sect. If it weren't for Su Mu, Hengshan Sect would have ceased to exist long ago."
He gave us, the Yokoyama sect, new hope.
Moreover, I believe that only he can lead our Yokoyama Sect to new heights.
"Sect Master, wouldn't it be better for you to step down now and focus on your cultivation?"
"Ha ha--"
Huang Chao laughed loudly, "If you want me to submit, you'd better defeat me first!"
He looked at Su Mu, radiating a strong fighting spirit.
"If you defeat me, the sect master, then the Hengshan Sect is yours to have."
With a loud shout, his body expanded at a visible speed, instantly transforming into a giant tens of feet tall.
Rumble.
He swung his arm, grabbed a small mountain, and used it as a club to sweep it towards Su Mu.
"Alright, let me test how far you've progressed in your Yokoyama Body Refining Technique."
Su Mu smiled faintly, took a step forward, and like Huang Chao, transformed into a giant, unleashing a punch. (End of Chapter)
