Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 398: The boy does not know the taste of sorrow

Lou Ban inquired about Su Yun's experience, and Su Yun then recounted how he was led by the Yuan Ci Divine Sword, breaking through various bans without any hindrance and entering the Immortal Family Hall.

"I fell asleep on that cushion and dreamt of some strange things," Su Yun said.

At that time, Lou Ban and the others were fighting outside, while Su Yun was sitting on the cushion, falling into a dream. In the dream, he felt his body become extremely light, rising up, passing through layers of clouds, wandering in space, witnessing the magnificence of the universe, leaping through layers of nebulae.

He was reborn with the newborn sun in the nebula, danced with the planets in the flames, and perished with the sun in destruction, transforming into a new form.

Finally, he crossed the Northern Crown Wall.

While crossing the Northern Crown Wall, he encountered the Immortal Sword.

He saw himself, at the cost of losing an arm, blocking the invincible Immortal Sword, successfully leaping over the Northern Crown Wall, becoming an immortal!

That scene was the most shocking scene Su Yun had ever seen in his life. The Immortal Sword broke through the sky, turning into a heavenly tribulation, killing those who tried to break through the wall. The sharp edge of the Immortal Sword shone brightly under the Northern Crown Wall, but he blocked it himself!

However, this person was not Su Yun, but Su Yun saw the experience of the armless immortal from the perspective of the owner of the cushion in the dream.

As for what happened after crossing the Northern Crown Wall, Su Yun's memory became blurry. He could only see the earth shattering, and when his vision recovered, he had become a fallen immortal, landing in this Imperial Seat Cave.

"At the cost of an arm, resisting the Immortal Sword, and successfully crossing the tribulation?"

Lou Ban and Master Cen's eyes lit up, but Su Yun shook his head and said, "Although I saw the move he used to resist the Immortal Sword, if I were to perform it myself, the power might be much weaker. Also, the cultivation level of that fallen immortal at the time was very high, very high..."

Lou Ban was quite dissatisfied, "How high?"

Master Cen said calmly, "Higher than the Sinful Disciple?"

Su Yun thought for a moment and said, "Much higher."

Master Cen immediately admitted defeat, but Lou Ban was still not convinced. Su Yun said, "It's much higher than the God Emperor Yu Daoyuan."

Lou Ban sneered, "When I was in charge of the Heavenly Tower, the God Emperor couldn't interfere with it. He could only wait until I died to split the Heavenly Tower."

Although he said that, he no longer asked how high it was.

Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief. His knowledge and experience were limited to the existence of Yu Daoyuan, Qin Wuling, and Yu Jin, so he could only use these people for comparison.

But the strength of the fallen immortal when he ascended, compared to the specific heights of the God Emperor, Yu Jin, and Qin Wuling, was not something he could estimate.

"This cushion is with me. If you want to learn that move, you can take it to comprehend."

Su Yun took out the cushion and said, "In my opinion, this move did not crack the Immortal Sword, but minimized the loss and sought survival by sacrificing an arm."

Lou Ban was quite moved, but then shook his head, "We are spiritual beings, and spiritual beings cannot learn it..."

Spiritual beings are highly solidified and condensed thoughts and true elements. After a person dies, their thoughts will no longer evolve, so he felt that he could not learn it.

Su Yun smiled and said, "The immortal light and immortal energy in this cushion can enhance the spiritual beings and refine the golden body. Maybe the immortal light and immortal energy can also help you learn this move?"

Lou Ban took the cushion, sat on it, and suddenly fell into a strange state.

He entered a state of cultivation, and the thoughts and true elements that made up his spiritual beings suddenly became extremely active. Su Yun took a look and saw the immortal light and immortal energy enhancing his spiritual beings, but whether this change was good or bad was not something he could know.

Wu Tong asked, "The fallen immortal finally fell into the Imperial Seat Cave and left his descendants here, which is the God King Chai Yundu. So where did this armless fallen immortal go?"

Su Yun shook his head, "I did not see where he went in the cushion. After he left the cushion, he never came back, and the cushion also had no record of his whereabouts."

"Do you think this fallen immortal is still in the world?" Wu Tong asked with a relaxed attitude.

Su Yun looked at her in surprise. This demon girl seemed to have gained some humanity compared to before. The previous Wu Tong indulged in the growth of the demonic thoughts in people's hearts, feeding on people's demonic nature, and her actions were somewhat radical.

But now, her mentality seemed to have undergone some kind of wonderful change.

Master Cen interrupted his reverie and suddenly said, "I think I know whose suppressed flesh it is! Little Yun, do you think it's this person?"

His thoughts moved slightly, and he visualized a painting. In the painting, there was a middle-aged man, with a majestic appearance, sacred and extraordinary, with numerous great Dao phenomena behind him!

Su Yun carefully examined it and exclaimed, "It's him! Master Cen, who is he?"

"God King Chai Yundu."

Master Cen let out a sigh of relief and said, "When I came here, I saw that the Chai family had taken over all the wealth of the Imperial Seat Cave, and the people were living in misery. The people were driven to the sea and had to pay tribute every year, so I came to reason with the Chai family."Ying Ying followed Su Yun out of the spiritual realm, sliding down the clock wall and sitting on Su Yun's shoulder, curiously asking, "Then, she said she couldn't beat you, so she suppressed you in anger."

Master Cen looked a little embarrassed and said reluctantly, "It's almost like that. But when I reasoned with the Five Elders, I saw a painting hanging on the wall in the adjacent main hall. The person in the painting is the Divine Lord Chai Yundu."

Su Yun was shocked and exclaimed, "Why would the Divine Lord Chai Yundu abandon his physical body? Where did his spirit go?"

Master Cen reminded, "Xiao Yun, don't you think he's in seclusion?"

Su Yun shook his head, puzzled, "If he is in seclusion, why would his spirit run away? Also, how did his sword end up in Yuanshuo? Right, when the two caves merged, the sky was filled with magnetic divine light. This divine sword was formed from the attack of my magnetic divine light. Could it be..."

Wu Tong said, "The divine heart is like a demon."

Su Yun collected his thoughts, paced back and forth, and said in a low voice, "Could it be that the attacks of magnetic divine light from all over the world are all caused by this Divine Lord Yundu? This divine sword of mine is a treasure he refined, and I'm afraid that the other magnetic divine lights and various chaotic celestial phenomena are also treasures he refined... Why would he do this?"

"He did it to test the strength of Yuanshuo and then swallow it up in one fell swoop."

Master Cen said, "When I was suppressed by the Five Elders of the Chai Family, I heard them mention this. The Divine Lord Chai Yundu has long harbored the intention to swallow up Yuanshuo. According to the Five Elders, Yuanshuo hides a great secret, it is the former imperial court!"

Su Yun's heart trembled slightly, and he remembered the adventurous notes of the old God King, which recorded the four mysterious places in Yuanshuo: the imperial court, the suspended coffin, the rear court, and the illusionary sky!

"Divine Lord Yundu must know something, so he is obsessed with the imperial court, and the spirits of the sages of the past have brought him news of the imperial court through the ascension path, which has aroused his greed!"

Su Yun looked at Lou Ban sitting on the cushion and continued, "It's just that the distance between the two realms is too far, and the physical body is difficult to cross, so the Divine Lord Yundu has never attacked our world. However, Yu Jin sacrificed the ninety-six divine demons and planned to ascend the world, sending our world into the immortal realm, but unexpectedly connected Tian Shi Yuan and the Emperor's Seat Cave, turning it into a whole."

Wu Tong said, "And this gave Chai Yundu an opportunity. He let his physical body seclude in the Immortal Cloud, and his spirit ascended to the sky, heading to our world."

Su Yun glanced at her again, feeling surprised.

Wu Tong continued, "He created various celestial phenomena to attack us from the sky, in order to test how many experts are in our world. However, he did not expect that at this time, someone could pass through the North Sea, pass through the Black Iron City, and come to the Emperor's Seat Cave."

Su Yun smiled, "That's right, it's me!"

Wu Tong said indifferently, "Before you, I had already passed through the Black Iron City and arrived at the Emperor's Seat Cave."

Su Yun confronted her, "However, you met Nan Buyi and became bandits with him."

Wu Tong smiled faintly, "However, you followed Master Lou here and were imprisoned by the Chai Family. If I hadn't come, you would have been discovered long ago."

The two looked at each other, neither giving in.

Seeing this, Master Cen coughed and said, "What the Divine Lord Chai Yundu never expected is that the divine sword he used to attack our world has become his death warrant. This divine sword actually brought you, passed through various seals and restrictions, and entered his seclusion place, where you killed him! The Divine Lord, unexpectedly died at the hands of a young man, it's really thought-provoking."

He sighed.

Su Yun shook his head and said, "Master Cen, he didn't die. I sealed his physical body, and I sealed him in a memory of mine."

Wu Tong chuckled, "Ignorant."

Ying Ying couldn't help but say, "You are not ignorant! Scholar Su naturally knows that the Divine Lord Yundu is already dead! Wu Tong, are you doubting my teaching skills?"

Wu Tong snorted.

Su Yun whispered, "Ying Ying, is Chai Yundu really dead?"

Ying Ying whispered, "Don't let the female demon see that you are ignorant. Just pretend that you already knew. I can't lose face in front of the female demon!"

Su Yun looked mysterious, while Ying Ying stood on his shoulder, unapologetic and confident.

Su Yun's heart was in turmoil, "Has the ruling Divine Lord Yundu really died? Did I kill him?"

He still found it difficult to accept this news.

He collected himself and pondered, "Even if Chai Yundu is dead, with only his spirit left, he is far from something we can contend with. The Winged Dragons are no longer divine beings and cannot compete with him. Now that the two realms are connected, the changes in the world's vitality will soon spread here. By then, Chai Yundu and the strong of the Chai Family will realize that the path to Tian Shi Yuan is no longer obstructed..."

His expression became serious, and he suddenly said, "Wu Tong, can you send Master Cen and Master Lou away, right?"Wu Tong pondered for a moment and said, "If someone can create chaos in the city to draw the attention of the Chai family's Golden Body Ancient God, I can help them escape. But to take them away directly, that's impossible."

The Golden Body Ancient God of the Chai family was overwhelmingly powerful, an existence whose strength surpassed the world's limits. Even Wu Tong could only barely conceal her presence from such a being!

Therefore, someone must draw the attention of the Chai family's Golden Body Ancient God, or there would be nothing but a dead end!

Just as Su Yun was about to speak, Master Cen shook his head and said, "If Yuan Shuo is not safe, we will not leave. The safety of Yuan Shuo will become an obsession in our spirits. Little Yun, you don't need to think of ways to send us away."

Su Yun hesitated for a moment, then stopped trying to persuade them and said, "Wu Tong, you have already slain the Dragon Spirit and avenged your great enmity. The matters here are unrelated to you. Since you can leave, then you should go on your own."

Wu Tong shook her head and said, "This body of mine was born from Yuan Shuo. The affairs of Yuan Shuo are not unrelated to me."

Su Yun gave her a deep look, smiled, and said, "Good, then we, as fellow disciples, shall join forces to confront this Cloud Crossing Divine Monarch!"

"It's senior sister and junior brother!" Wu Tong corrected him, saying, "Between you and me, we have yet to determine who is stronger or weaker!"

Master Cen looked at Su Yun, then at Wu Tong, and felt surprised. He pulled Su Yun aside and asked, "Little Yun, what is your relationship with this woman?"

"Master Cen, you've noticed as well?"

Su Yun stared at Wu Tong and said through gritted teeth, "That little witch is very powerful, full of thorns, and I might not be able to defeat her. The female demon's abilities are growing stronger, and her cultivation has also entered the Celestial Phenomenon realm a step ahead of me..."

Master Cen thought for a moment, then decided not to continue the conversation, thinking to himself, "This young man is not following the path. Well, let the younger generation handle it."
