Chapter 1599: Not a Coincidence

Upon hearing this, Su Yi wondered which old man was speaking nonsense. He immediately lowered his voice and asked, "What is this logic? And what does it mean to be excellent? Please clarify, senior!"

"Oh!"

Old Man Gu Yue shook his head slightly and said, "Palace Master has always been unpredictable. This statement is not an exaggeration. I’ve said it before – as long as you please Palace Master, everything will be fine. But if you make Palace Master unhappy, he can chase you anywhere, north or south!"

After saying this, Old Man Gu Yue paused and continued in a low voice.

"Many, many years ago, there was a great figure in the palace who dominated Yutian Palace. They even achieved two first places in the Yutian Soul Race. Just that alone was enough to make them proud of the entire Yutian Palace! Since Sect Leader Su has decided to participate in the four grand competitions, you should at least win two first places!"

"Creak!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yi couldn’t help clenching his fists tightly. His eyes were filled with determination and fighting spirit. He gritted his teeth and said, "Not just two first places! I want all four first places! Palace Master, I’ll make you truly see today!"

The Su family is still missing, whether they are with the Palace Master is unknown. This Palace Master is starting to threaten himself. For the sake of Shi Ran and Achu’s lives, Su Yi will treat it as a tough battle!

"Alright! Try your best to fight for it. There are three days left. I will have Tian Chang give basic training to Shi Ran and Achu. You and Miss Han should try to improve your soul strength at Lingyue peak, have more battles, and experience the presence of the soul!"

"Okay!"

Su Yi and everyone else replied. Elder Gu Yue then explained the details and some common methods of soul control.

Afterwards, they returned to their rooms. In the ancient-looking rooms, Su Yi sat on the bed and began to meditate and practice the Heavens Taming Incantation.

This was the first time Su Yi wholeheartedly focused on practicing the Heavens Taming Incantation. Through his conversation with Old Man Gu Yue, Su Yi realized his previous understanding of the soul was too narrow.

The wonders of the soul are endless, and there wasn’t much time for the teachings of the ancestors at the cliff valley. Gradually, Su Yi entered a state of deep concentration, understanding the essence of the soul and feeling the presence of the surrounding spiritual energy.

The soul is also a form of energy, interconnected with the methods of spiritual energy. Su Yi gradually entered a state of "enlightenment," his aura calm and natural, like a monk in meditation.

A radiant divine glow emanated from his body, and the ascending energy seemed to span heaven and earth. As the light surged, mystical runes floated in the air like swirling snakes, emerging from his spiritual center. They were profound and unfathomable, incredibly marvelous.

"Boom!"

Inside the body, a series of breaths flowed like a river, pushing into the air. Even outside the house, one could feel the energy waves.

Su Yi, Han Yurou, Li Shiran, and Achu lived in a small courtyard. The courtyard was not big, but it was simple and neat. The moonlight poured down, creating a silver mist on the stone platform.

"Ah, I wonder if coming to Yutian Palace this time is right. Father has always been worried about the headquarters of Yutian Palace. I want to show those stubborn cultivators a lesson, let them know that Yun Region and Wuliang School are the bosses. Don’t just come to Yun Region and head straight to Yutian Palace for no reason. That’s why I have to win first!"

Han Yurou rested her chin on her hands and looked at the moon, which seemed to touch the ink plate in the far distance. She felt the waves coming from Su Yi’s room, one after another.

"Is he still practicing so late? Should I go find him and discuss the details of the competition?"

In the night, it is easy to let the mind wander. Han Yurou pursed her cherry lips, and a few red hues flew across her snow-white skin. Her body moved up and down, as if she was in a battle between heaven and earth.

Several times Han Yurou reached Su Yi’s door, then turned back to the center of the courtyard. Han Yurou scolded herself, saying, "Han Yurou, oh Han Yurou, when did you become so fussy? You used to be a strong… good daughter! Being so indecisive is really unacceptable! No wonder father always says you are not mature!"

"Phew!"

Han Yurou hopped in place and did some warm-up exercises. She took a few deep breaths and quickly stepped towards Su Yi’s house.

Her snow-white hands gently rested on the door, but ultimately decided to let go. She twisted her face and lightly tapped her own head, stomping her little foot.

"Oh my goodness, go back, go back! You’re such a pig!"

"Whoosh!"

At that moment, a rustling sound echoed from the distant mountains and startled a flock of birds. A deep and fierce roar of a demon beast resounded, sending the roar far away.

"Hmm, who’s there?" Han Yurou furrowed her eyebrows and instantly expanded her senses, feeling the presence in the distance.

After a while, without sensing any movement, Han Yurou lifted her delicate hand and rubbed the back of her head, doubtingly saying, "Did I sense it wrong? Ah, I better go back and rest!"

After Han Yurou left, a slender figure in a shade of green flashed in the forest. Her cherry lips lightly opened, and a melodious voice flowed out, as if singing like a nightingale.

"You little brat, you’re living a pretty good life without me! Women are relentless, huh?"

"Whoosh!"

Within the dark woods, there were mysterious shadows and a soft sigh. Then, a gentle touch in the empty space, as if fading away bit by bit.

"Little Wood, let’s go!"

"Boom!"

Immediately, a greenish light streaked by, and Lingyue Peak returned to its peaceful state. Within the condensed clouds of spiritual energy, it seemed as if fairies were dancing gracefully.

The first rays of dawn appeared, and the sun cast its radiant light onto Gongque Lake. With a gentle breeze, the lake sparkled like hundreds of little fishes leaping out of the water, creating dazzling reflections.

Rays of golden light burst forth, illuminating the back of Lingyue Peak, shining brightly against the clear sky, welcoming another morning on the banks of Yutian River.

Su Yi gently opened the door, his body fully recovered after a night of rest. Within his abundant meridians, there was a surge of powerful spiritual energy, resembling a dragon’s vigorous flow.

Su Yi inwardly observed his heart and soul. Within the Xuanling Divine Vein, the second gate radiated a harmonious mix of yin and yang. The Iron Soul Beast emitted a deep, dark aura.

I worked hard while the Iron Soul Beast slept comfortably and peacefully. It woke up and said, "Time to get up!"

"Don’t bother me, I’m exhausted. I’m asking you, did you use soul energy yesterday?"

"Yeah, what’s wrong?" Su Yi couldn’t help but wonder.

"Something strange happened with the Mountain Guard Array yesterday. It unexpectedly interacted with your second Xuan Gate. Otherwise, even if you had a Heavenly Grade soul, it wouldn’t have triggered such a powerful array!" Iron Soul Beast said with a deep voice.

The second Xuan Gate was formed by the fusion of Su Yi’s Water Crimson Heavenly Crystal and the Iron Soul Beast, located in the Xuanling Divine Vein.
