Chapter 851
Ancient Ferocious Beast
Lu Yin stood by Su Mu's side the whole time, watching Huang Chao being scolded and driven away by Su Mu, and his feelings were somewhat complicated.
He and Huang Chao were old acquaintances.
Back then, they were on the same level.
They had previously served under Su Mu.
Huang Chao relinquished his position as sect leader of Hengshan Sect and handed over Yanfu Sect to Su Mu.
These two people, who shared the same plight, now seem to have embarked on two completely different paths.
When Huang Chao failed to break through and left in disappointment, Lu Yin actually felt some sympathy for him.
Lu Yin was happy for Huang Chao that he had his own opportunity.
But Huang Chao's biggest mistake was helping others plot against Su Mu's forces.
Huang Chao was willing to sever ties with the Daqian Dynasty and hand over the Hengshan Sect to Su Mu. What a brilliant move he made!
As long as he doesn't betray Su Mu, Su Mu will definitely help him reach the peak in the future.
Lu Yin firmly believed this.
Having spent a long time with Su Mu, Lu Yin came to deeply believe in Su Mu's character.
Moreover, he believed that Su Mu would definitely become the most powerful being in the world in the future.
At that time, how could those who follow Su Mu be any worse?
Huang Chao was too hasty.
Those so-called Heavenly Sects may seem powerful, but can they really help Huang Chao?
It's all about self-interest.
"Huang Chao—"
Lu Yin sighed and said helplessly.
Once you've gone down the wrong path, it's hard to turn back.
"He has the right to choose his own path."
Su Mu said calmly, "Everyone has their own ambitions."
Senior Lu, what are your thoughts on the Heavenly Sect?
"Tianzong?"
Lu Yin looked thoughtful and said in a deep voice, "I believe what Huang Chao said. Such a force may really exist in this world, but I don't think they are that terrible."
"how do I say this?"
Su Mu said with great interest.
"Even if they really are experts at the Primordial Beginning Realm, just think about it: since they bewitched Huang Chao to steal our forces, it means that they are not above worldly affairs either."
Lu Yin analyzed seriously, "If that's the case, why have they remained hidden from the world all this time?"
This suggests that either they are not strong enough, or they are afraid of something.
Regardless of which one it is, we don't need to be afraid of them.
Lu Yin had one more thing he didn't say: they had Su Mu with them!
Even when facing the most powerful enemy, as long as Su Mu is there, they have nothing to worry about.
Because Su Mu has never failed.
Lu Yin felt that perhaps no one in this world could truly defeat Su Mu.
With Su Mu around, he wasn't afraid of that Heavenly Sect he'd never even heard of.
However, he was too embarrassed to say such flattering things out loud.
"No matter what, you need to know yourself and your enemy to win every battle."
Su Mu said slowly, "Since Huang Chao has made it clear, we can at least confirm that the number of Tianzong members is no less than three."
If I'm not mistaken, then Qian Guanyu should be from the Ziwei Heavenly Sect.
When I fought him before, he mentioned a place called Dragon Hidden Mountain. Senior Lu, have you ever heard of this place?
Su Mu wasn't particularly interested in the Heavenly Sect that Huang Chao mentioned, but he was quite interested in the Heavenly Realm where the Heavenly Sect resided.
Although he didn't necessarily need to go to the Heavenly Realm to break through to the Primordial Beginning Realm, he still had other people around him.
If that so-called celestial realm is really suitable for martial artists to cultivate, wouldn't it be great to seize one and let Lu Yin and the others cultivate there?
Why should the Heavenly Realm be occupied by those people?
If these people don't provoke him, even if he knows about the existence of the Heavenly Realm, he can't just take action directly.
Now that the other party made the first move, he will have no scruples whatsoever when he attacks.
"You want to explore Dragon Hidden Mountain?"
Lu Yin said with a serious expression, "I have heard that there is a forbidden area in the Great Qian Dynasty, which is the place where the emperors of the Great Qian Dynasty returned to the ruins."
It is said that every emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty would enter that forbidden area when his lifespan was about to end.
That forbidden area must be Dragon Hidden Mountain.
How about this, I'll try to find out.
“If that forbidden area is indeed Dragon Hidden Mountain, and Dragon Hidden Mountain is the Heavenly Realm of the Ziwei Heavenly Sect, then it would be inappropriate for you to go there.”
Su Mu shook his head and said, "According to Lu Yin, there must be Tai Chu Realm experts in this so-called Heavenly Realm. If you are discovered by them, you may not be able to return."
Therefore, I have to go there myself.
"No!"
Lu Yin's expression changed drastically. "Your life is related to the survival of the Great Xuan Dynasty, Yanfu Sect, and Hengshan Sect. How can you take such a risk?"
For things like this, my presence is sufficient.
Even if I really die in it, I will find a way to send back the information I have gathered.
That way, when you face them again, at least you'll be more prepared.
"Senior Lu, you've been following me for so long, yet you still don't understand me."
Su Mu smiled faintly and said, "I never do things I'm not sure about."
"This celestial realm is indeed dangerous, but they're still a bit too weak to threaten my life."
Su Mu's tone was calm, but Lu Yin could still hear the powerful confidence contained within it.
He was slightly taken aback, and then suddenly understood.
"Could it be that you—"
He was breathing heavily, looking at Su Mu with some disbelief.
Su Mu smiled calmly and nodded slightly.
Lu Yin couldn't help but gasp.
He knew, of course, that Su Mu would one day be able to break through to the Primordial Realm.
He also believes that this period of time will not be long.
After all, Su Mu's cultivation speed is undeniable.
But he didn't expect that Su Mu would reach the threshold of the Primordial Realm so quickly!
The distance between the half-step Primordial Realm and the true Primordial Realm seems to be only half a step, but only those who have come into contact with this realm know how far that half-step is.
Even a powerful ancestor like Qian Guanyu of the Great Qian Dynasty, who cultivated in the Dragon Hidden Mountain for so many years, was always stuck at the half-step Primordial Realm and could not take that final half-step.
Qian Guanyu is no ordinary person; he was once a peerless genius who dominated the world.
Given Su Mu's age, even if he breaks through to the Primordial Realm within a thousand years, he would still be the youngest person in the world to reach the Primordial Realm.
Lu Yin originally thought that even if Su Mu had the best aptitude, it would probably take him several hundred years to break through to the true Primordial Realm.
How long has it been since Su Mu broke through to the half-step Primordial Realm?
Su Mu is actually confident that he can break through to the Primordial Beginning Realm?
This is absolutely an incredible miracle.
Lu Yin took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
Although it was somewhat unbelievable, since Su Mu said it himself, Lu Yin believed it to be true.
Su Mu would never joke about something like this.
If Su Mu is truly confident in breaking through, then he has no fear of those Primordial Realm cultivators in the Heavenly Realm.
“If that’s the case, then your safety is naturally not a problem, but I still have some doubts.”
Lu Yin pondered for a moment and said, "Since the Heavenly Sect has been hiding from the world all this time, why has it suddenly appeared now?"
What happened to make them suddenly appear in the world?
If Qian Guanyu was invited by Qian Wudi, then what about the Pofa Tianzong sect that Huang Chao came into contact with?
The Heavenly Sect has existed for so many years, I think there must have been people who accidentally wandered into the Heavenly Realm before.
Why didn't the Breaking Law Heaven Sect show up before?
"This is indeed a problem."
Su Mu nodded.
Lu Yin, the former sect leader of Yanfu Sect, was once one of the strongest people in this vast world. He had never heard of the existence of Tianzong before, which means that Tianzong had been hiding its secrets very well.
Something must have happened to bring these Heavenly Sects, which have been hidden for so many years, into the world.
"However, we can't guess these things. My trip to Dragon Hidden Mountain will be a good opportunity to investigate the truth."
Su Mu said.
Before he could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed, and he abruptly looked up.
Lu Yin then noticed the anomaly and looked ahead, just like Su Mu.
A streak of light shot towards them at an unimaginable speed from afar.
boom!
The streak of light suddenly stopped when it was still a hundred feet away from Su Mu.
Between movement and stillness, waves of air surged, accompanied by the sounds of wind and thunder.
Only then did Su Mu and Lu Yin realize who the newcomer was.
A stranger's face and a familiar person.
"Eternal Heaven!"
Lu Yin spoke up, somewhat surprised.
Everlasting Heaven of the Great Luo Heaven had been missing since he was defeated and forced to flee by Su Mu last time. It was unexpected that he would dare to appear here.
Lu Yin's gaze fell on the stranger.
If I'm not mistaken, the reason Changshengtian dared to appear so openly before them was because of this person.
Lu Yin sized up the other person and felt that the aura emanating from him was unfathomable, giving him an extremely dangerous feeling.
He felt a chill run down his spine, and two words involuntarily popped into his mind: Heavenly Sect!
In this world, anyone who can make him feel threatened, even if they are not at the Primordial Realm, is at least one of the best among those at the half-step Primordial Realm.
He was unaware of the existence of the Heavenly Sect before, but now he is almost certain that the reason why there are no Primordial Realm experts in the Great Thousand World is because Primordial Realm experts are hidden in the Heavenly Realm.
The celestial realm has been occupied by these celestial sects.
Since this person in front of me has such cultivation, he must undoubtedly be from the Heavenly Sect.
Unexpectedly, following Huang Chao's ascension to the Heavenly Sect, Changsheng Tian of the Great Luo Heaven has also ascended to the Heavenly Sect. Su Mu and Lu Yin exchanged a glance, both understanding the meaning in each other's eyes.
It seems they were right; all these Heavenly Sects are indeed starting to emerge.
Otherwise, why have we never heard of the Heavenly Sect before, but now they are appearing one after another?
The stranger stood with his hands behind his back and nodded arrogantly.
As if receiving some instruction, Changshengtian bowed slightly, then took a step forward and shouted loudly at Su Mu.
"Do you want to live or die?"
Chang Shengtian wore a disdainful expression, as if he didn't take Su Mu and Lu Yin seriously at all.
Lu Yin was so angry he laughed.
Chang Shengtian was indeed an unparalleled powerhouse at the time, even causing the Great Qian Dynasty and the Yanfu Sect to suffer a great loss.
But now it seems that the strength of the Eternal Heaven is nothing more than this.
Let alone Su Mu, even Lu Yin himself has the power to fight him.
A defeated general of Su Mu actually dared to come up to them and act so arrogantly.
"I say, Eternal Heaven, have you forgotten about your hasty escape before?"
Lu Yin pointed at the Eternal Heaven and shouted.
Since it was Changshengtian speaking on the other side, they naturally didn't need Su Mu to personally engage in the battle.
The Eternal Heaven is not yet qualified to make Su Mu speak.
"Coming here to spout nonsense, I think you're the one who's tired of living!"
Lu Yin said menacingly.
Chang Shengtian glanced at Lu Yin and said with a disdainful look, "I was careless last time."
Do you think you can defeat me this time?
Don't blame me for not giving you a chance. I'll ask you one more time: do you want to die, or do you want to live?
"What if I want to die? What if I want to live?"
Lu Yin sneered.
"If you want to live, then you'd better surrender obediently and obey our every command from now on."
Chang Sheng Tian laughed loudly, "If you want to die, that's simple, we'll kill you right now."
"You guys?"
Lu Yin said, "Come on, I want to see how you kill us."
He took a step forward, and his aura exploded.
"court death!"
Chang Sheng Tian sneered and took a step forward, releasing an equally overwhelming aura.
"and many more."
suddenly.
The man who came with Changshengtian spoke up.
"grown ups--"
Chang Shengtian turned around, somewhat puzzled, and said, "This Lu Yin is no match for me. I can handle him!"
The man ignored Changshengtian and stared intently at Su Mu.
"I never imagined that someone outside the Heavenly Realm could cultivate to this level."
"The Eternal Heaven did not lie; you do indeed possess a great secret."
He slowly said, "If you hand over the secret now, I can spare your life and give you a chance to enter the Heavenly Realm."
"Can't you people change your story?"
Just as Lu Yin was about to unleash a torrent of curses, Su Mu raised his hand to stop him and said slowly.
"Qian Guanyu says this, and you say this too. I'm starting to suspect that you two planned this together."
Tell me, which celestial sect do you come from?
Su Mu's words made the man's expression freeze for a moment.
Chang Sheng Tian was also taken aback.
They never expected that Su Mu would actually utter the words "Heavenly Sect".
"You know about the Heavenly Sect?"
The man couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing special. Do you think it's strange that I know the Heavenly Sect?"
Su Mu said calmly, "Qian Guanyu from the Ziwei Heavenly Sect just left not long ago, and someone from the Pofa Heavenly Sect came by just now."
You have the same goal as them, don't you?
They all want to seize the power under my command?
You guys have a really good idea. You've been living in seclusion for so many years, and now you want to come out of the world and immediately become high and mighty.
It even saved them the trouble of conquering the world.
Su Mu shook his head and sighed.
Chang Sheng Tian and the man exchanged a glance, their expressions turning extremely ugly.
Su Mu did indeed express what they were thinking.
The question is, how did Su Mu know all this?
"The Ziwei Heavenly Sect and the Pofa Heavenly Sect! They actually came here."
The man said in a deep voice, "I am different from them. I am Nan Tianxiang of the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect."
If you join my Beast Taming Heavenly Sect, I can make you a formal disciple of the sect.
Who cares?
Lu Yin couldn't help but scold, "You think too highly of yourself. Who do you think would want to be a disciple of your Beast Taming Heaven Sect?"
If you want to be a prostitute, don't pretend to be virtuous.
"presumptuous!"
A sharp glint flashed in Nan Tianxiang's eyes, and he let out a cold shout.
boom!
Suddenly, a striped tiger appeared behind him, roared, and pounced on Lu Yin.
No one saw where that tiger came from.
That was no ordinary beast, but an ancient mythical creature.
His strength is comparable to that of a half-step Primordial Beginning!
It was incredibly fast, arriving in front of Lu Yin with a gust of wind, and slammed down with a claw.
Lu Yin's expression was serious, showing no fear. He raised his hand and threw a punch upwards.
boom!
A loud bang.
Lu Yin staggered backward.
The tiger then stood in mid-air and pounced again.
"presumptuous."
Su Mu said calmly, uttering the same words as Nan Tianxiang.
Su Mu raised his hand and swung his sword forward.
Swish!
A flash of sword light appeared instantly.
In an instant, the sword light grew to a size of over a hundred feet and crashed down on the tiger.
A soft sound.
The sword light sliced the tiger in two without any hindrance.
Blood mixed with entrails rained down from the sky, like a shower of blood.
Nan Tianxiang's face turned pale, and he involuntarily took a step back.
A storm raged deep within his eyes, and a barely perceptible glint of fear flashed across them.
An ancient ferocious beast comparable to a half-step Primordial Realm was actually killed by Su Mu with a single sword strike.
He could tell that Su Mu hadn't used his full strength in that sword strike.
Even if he wanted to kill this ancient ferocious beast, it wouldn't be so easy.
Moreover, this is one of the strongest ferocious beasts under his command.
He was heartbroken to the point of bleeding after being killed by Su Mu.
Chang Shengtian was right; there was indeed something strange about Su Mu.
How could anyone outside the Celestial Realm possess such power?
"Su Mu, how dare you kill my ferocious beast?"
Nan Tianxiang stared at Su Mu, his gaze filled with a desire to devour Su Mu alive.
Su Mu remained calm.
"You dared to commit violence on my territory. I only killed the ferocious beast because you are a guest from afar. If you dare to utter another word of nonsense, believe me, I will kill you right now."
Su Mu said coldly.
Nan Tianxiang's strength is somewhat inferior to Qian Guanyu's.
Su Mu could severely injure even Qian Guanyu, so why would he care about Nan Tianxiang?
Nan Tianxiang's strength lies mostly in his ability to fight ferocious beasts; his own strength is not particularly strong.
Even if Su Mu doesn't advance to the Primordial Realm, he is fairly confident that he can kill his opponent.
Nan Tianxiang felt a chill run down his spine and actually dared not say anything more.
Chang Shengtian was also greatly shocked. The moment Su Mu made his move, he had already sensed that Su Mu's Nine Deaths Nirvana Technique had been cultivated to the eighth level of death, which was equivalent to his own.
However, Su Mu's foundation and talent far surpassed his, so even though they were both at the Eighth Death Realm, Su Mu's strength was far greater than his.
Su Mu was already capable of defeating him, but now, looking at Su Mu, he felt even more that he was unfathomable.
"Su Mu, how dare you be disrespectful to Lord Nan?"
Chang Shengtian mustered his courage and said, "Do you know what the consequences are for offending the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect?"
"If the ancient ferocious beasts under the command of the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect were to descend, they would wipe out your Great Xuan Dynasty!"
"In that case, you two may stay."
Su Mu said coldly, "I want to see if your Beast Taming Heavenly Sect's ferocious beast army can really annihilate me."
Before he finished speaking, Su Mu took a step forward.
In an instant, the world changed color. (End of Chapter)
