Chapter 593: A New Heart!
"Besides being excluded from the Saint Martial Assembly, what kind of punishment is it to face the wall for three years? It's clearly just for show!"
"It seems that the higher-ups in the sect are definitely favoring Yun Lingfeng. Elder Su can't compete with them."
"Ah, Su Yi is truly extraordinary. Given enough time, he would surely become renowned throughout the world. Alas, the heavens are jealous of his talent!"
"Yun Lingfeng was granted great benefits. He was considered the future of the Divine Sword School. On the other hand, Su Yi, despite his remarkable talent, tragically passed away. It was only natural for people to favor Yun Lingfeng."
"..."
Upon hearing the news of Yun Lingfeng's punishment, whispers filled the air among the disciples of the Divine Sword School. They sympathized with him and felt it was unjust.
"It is said that the Saint Martial Assembly is no ordinary event. All the powerful forces in the Central Region will participate. If one can achieve something in the Saint Martial Assembly, they will become famous throughout the world. Yun Lingfeng had his spot in the Saint Martial Assembly taken away, thereby losing the opportunity to become famous."
"What is the Saint Martial Assembly?"
"The Saint Martial Assembly, a grand event for the young generation of the Central Region. Any young person under the age of twenty-five can participate. It is a great opportunity for the disciples from various major forces in the Central Region to showcase their talents."
"The Sacred Mountain, a place of great importance, held the Saint Martial Assembly. Those who showed exceptional talent would have the opportunity to enter the Sacred Mountain for a period of training. This was a tremendous chance of a lifetime!"
"Will the young generation of the Sacred Mountain also join?"
The news of the Saint Martial Assembly spread, capturing the attention of all the young people. It was a grand event for the young generation of the Central Region.
In the mysterious and eerie void, where nobody ventured and nobody knew.
Inside the dazzling cocoon of light, Su Yi was completely enveloped in a radiant glow.
Su Yi's pierced heart, was gradually being completely corroded and melted away, and ultimately shattered and destroyed.
"Whoosh..."
The mysterious vitality and radiance that originally surged on Su Yi's heart were completely unable to withstand the destruction of the red light, causing even the mysterious vitality and radiance to crumble.
Inside the destructive red light, there invisibly carried a strange energy that connected Su Yi's shattered heart together.
Making it appear as if Su Yi's heart had been destroyed, but in reality, it had shattered without dispersing and cracked without splitting apart.
"Hooooray..."
After who knows how long, Su Yi's entire heart transformed into a blazing fire, with intense heat spreading throughout his body.
The blazing fire seemed to want to consume everything, to turn Su Yi's entire body into ashes.
Underneath the terrifying red light, even the dazzling cocoon of light enveloping Su Yi gradually succumbed to the spreading red light, and then was slowly destroyed.
The relentless red light seeped into every pore, enveloping Su Yi's entire body from the center of his heart, its scorching heat capable of consuming all in its path.
Su Yi seemed to have fallen into a deep state, as if he had lost all sense of awareness.
But the agonizing pain, the searing torment that consumed his entire physical being, continued to convulse Su Yi's body relentlessly.
"What is this exactly, this aura... This is a great opportunity, who exactly is this youngster and where does he come from?"
A gentle voice resonated within the space, filled with astonishment, trepidation, and a great sense of excitement.
"Great opportunity, it was a tremendous advantage..."
With a voice filled with astonishment and an uncontainable joy, a layer of mysterious vitality and radiance began to emanate from deep within Su Yi. Though consumed by blazing flames, it continued to surge forth endlessly, as if it were boundless.
Su Yi's entire heart had already transformed into a sea of fire, as if it had turned to ashes. It felt as though his heart had been brutally ripped away, leaving behind nothing but an empty void.
This kind of pain, which pierced through the heart, was undoubtedly the most terrifying trial in all of humanity. For an ordinary person, it would have long been overwhelming.
"Sizzle, sizzle..."
Su Yi's heart continuously emitted sizzling smoke from his chest, completely enveloped in flames of crimson red.
"Human child, I suppose I have saved half of your life, helping you completely, but in return, will our lives be intertwined forever?"
The gentle voice whispered softly, echoing in the air, and soon returned to tranquility.
Only the endless radiance of vitality filled the air, emanating from within Su Yi's body and flowing towards his heart. Though unable to withstand the scorching flames, it provided some protection and continued to infuse life into Su Yi's heart.
No one else could see it, for if they did, they would surely be left speechless.
Su Yi, at this moment, though he said that his heart was shattered but not scattered, cracked but not divided, it was still very dangerous. One wrong move and he could instantly turn into ashes.
But this mysterious radiance of vitality was secretly protecting Su Yi's heart.
"Yin and yang, reaching for the sky and diving into the moon's cave, breaking through chaos and plucking grains of corn, using the five elements of yin and yang to transform and give life to everything. The energy forms shapes, becoming the spirit of all things. In the beginning, heaven is with it, but in the end, heaven takes it away. To achieve the path of alchemical transformation, if one desires to cultivate the path of heaven's yang, one must embrace this yin and yang. However, it is only for this moment, easy to lose and difficult to find, easy to mistake and hard to come across. If obtained, one enters the path of life, but if lost, one falls into the path of death. The path of alchemical transformation is the way of heaven's yang, the way of preheaven. The way of preheaven encompasses heaven and earth, moving the heavenly yang, and connecting to the secret outside of heaven and earth. Therefore, it can comprehend life and death, avoid reincarnation, and transcend the mundane to achieve the sacred foundation..."
In a dazed state, Su Yi seemed to be murmuring something, while his body was already sitting cross-legged on the cracked ancient stone platform. Occasionally, handprints would form in his hands.
As time went by, Su Yi's heart seemed to have completely shattered. The crimson flesh and glowing flames merged together, forming a new heart.
This heart became somewhat different - it beat the same, strong and resounding, but it was a fist-sized sphere. It was incredibly crimson, radiating a brilliant red light, resembling a small sun, casting a dazzling glow.
In the mysterious space within Su Yi's mind, the crimson light continued to spread, flowing through his limbs and body, pulsating with waves of red light.
Most importantly, this crimson light infused Su Yi's new heart, undergoing countless refinement and reshaping. It was as if planting stronger seeds within it, injecting a greater vitality, and enabling it to take root and sprout with renewed vigor.
Letting Su Yi's new heart flourish and thrive, as if the rising sun, filled with new life and vitality...
Finally, Su Yi's body no longer convulsed, as if he had completely passed through the heart-wrenching ordeal. The mysterious radiance of life had also vanished without a trace.
Su Yi sat cross-legged, his whole body glowing, completely immersed in a mysterious state.
The robes on his body had turned to ashes, leaving Su Yi completely naked. His flesh emanated a radiant golden glow, but it was translucent and pure, resembling a precious jade. All his injuries had long since healed.
In this mysterious void, time held no meaning. It was incredibly silent, uninterrupted by any person.
After what seemed like an eternity, Su Yi's body became increasingly translucent and radiant, enveloped in a gentle glow. A faint sound of harmony could be heard emanating from within him.
