Chapter 320: Ready to Go!
Of course, there is still one hidden trump card that Su Yi has been concealing—his identity as a Soul Tamer.
Recently, Su Yi has made great strides, advancing to the Yuan Spirit Realm and now reaching the Yuan Spirit Realm Third Grade. Especially after cultivating the Divine Demonic Ancient Verse, Su Yi feels he has achieved significant improvements in soul power. Yet, he hasn’t had the opportunity to showcase this power, nor does he wish to reveal it prematurely.
The successful cultivation of the Divine Demonic Ancient Verse has further fueled Su Yi’s curiosity. He wonders if it truly lives up to the power described in the cultivation records.
A Soul Tamer can coalesce lingering spirits, summon them, and command them as allies. Soul Tamers of extraordinary ability can even summon ancient and powerful souls.
However, the Divine Demonic Ancient Verse’s Heavenly Demon Figure elevates this art to an entirely different level. It enables the Soul Tamer to not only summon and command remnant souls but also fuse with them, temporarily gaining the full strength of the soul when it was still alive.
The most terrifying aspect isn’t just the fusion. When cultivating the Heavenly Demon Figure, a sufficiently talented individual can even comprehend the abilities of the remnant soul, integrating its power as their own permanently.
For example, if an ancient beast is summoned and its power is comprehended, the cultivator can later wield the strength of that ancient beast at will. Such potential is nothing short of overwhelming and terrifying.
Su Yi had only dared to cultivate the Divine Demonic Ancient Verse within Cang Lan City. Were it elsewhere—outside the Demon Woods—he would have hesitated to cultivate it so openly, fearing the consequences.
After tidying up his surroundings, Su Yi noticed that daylight had faded, and another day had passed.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, with palms pressed together, Su Yi took deep, steady breaths. Over time, this methodical form of cultivation had become a daily routine for him. He no longer felt the need to return home during this period.
Nearby, the Serene Void Brutal Heavenly Leopard and the Golden Python stood guard, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings.
Not far from Su Yi, Da Bao and Xiao Ling appeared to be meditating, seemingly cultivating their breathing techniques. Meanwhile, the disciples of the Divine Demonic Sect, including Shangguan Yan, Xiong Zhan, Hu Chi, and Shangguan Xi Wei, were engrossed in closed-door cultivation.
The scars of the past haunted the Divine Demonic Sect. Their tribes had been massacred, their homes razed to the ground, and an overwhelming pain pierced their hearts. Driven by vengeance, they cultivated tirelessly, preparing for the day when they could seek retribution for their people.
Having mastered techniques like the Demonic Spirit Truth Interpretation, Mighty Desolate Verse, and Heavenly Tiger Art, they poured their hearts and souls into their training.
“Whew…”
Late at night, Su Yi slowly opened his tightly shut eyes and exhaled deeply.
The intense effort spent on cultivating martial arts left him drained, but a brief period of rest and focused breathing helped him recover quickly. He could feel the surging Yuan Qi within his dantian, a testament to the profound restorative effects of the Supreme Chaotic Yuan Technique. This was a technique far superior to ordinary cultivation methods.
“How much longer are you planning to stay here? This place is so boring,” Su Tian Que’s voice echoed, breaking the silence.
Bathed in moonlight, his small figure glimmered with a faint, radiant luster.
For quite some time, Su Tian Que had been frustrated. Cang Lan City lacked spiritual medicine to feast on, and there were no demon beasts to hunt or roast. To make matters worse, Su Yi had explicitly warned him not to cause trouble in the city, lest they find themselves unable to protect it—or themselves. Su Tian Que, though reluctant, had heeded the warning, afraid of the consequences.
“We’re leaving in two days,” Su Yi replied as he stood up, stretching. The sound of his joints cracking echoed in the quiet night, and his deep eyes glowed faintly crimson under the moonlight.
“In two days?” Su Tian Que asked in surprise, his gaze fixed on Su Yi. “What about the Divine Demonic Sect? What will happen to them?”
“They’ll be safe here for now.”
After a brief pause, Su Yi clasped his hands behind his back, lowered his head slightly, and fell into deep thought. Moments later, he looked up, determination gleaming in his eyes.
He had already decided to leave before cultivating the Divine Demonic Ancient Verse, and now everything was nearly ready. If he delayed any longer, he wouldn’t be able to escort the disciples of the Divine Demonic Sect away when the time came.
“That’s great! Finally, we can leave!” Su Tian Que exclaimed, his excitement palpable. He fluttered his wings energetically, eager for a change of scenery.
“Roar!”
The Golden Python, Serene Void Brutal Heavenly Leopard, Da Bao, and Xiao Ling stepped forward, their gazes fixed on Su Yi. Hearing his decision, they expressed their desire to leave with him.
Su Yi shook his head and said, “Stay here and hone your skills. Hopefully, when I return, you all will have progressed even further!”
The next morning, Su Yi went to seek out the Demon Emperor, Chi Qin.
He informed Chi Qin of his plans to leave for a time of solitary cultivation.
Chi Qin, the Demon Emperor, was surprised and somewhat perplexed by Su Yi’s decision. With a hint of doubt, he remarked, “I’ve heard rumors that some people have been unable to locate the disciples of the Divine Demonic Sect and have since left. But this is the Demon Woods, and for a human like you, even with your current cultivation level, leaving won’t be easy.”
“Thank you for your concern, Demon Emperor, but my heart is already set. On behalf of the disciples of the Divine Demonic Sect, I entrust them to your care. Your great kindness will not go unrewarded!” Su Yi said, bowing respectfully.
Chi Qin gazed at Su Yi, his expression contemplative, his eyes filled with uncertainty.
“Very well, but you must return early,” Chi Qin finally said. His tone grew solemn as he continued, “The disciples of the Divine Demonic Sect are humans. Even if they remain hidden in Cang Lan City, the news might eventually spread, which would cause trouble. I cannot guarantee their protection forever. Give me a definite time frame.”
After pondering for a moment, Su Yi replied, “At most five years. Within five years, I will return!”
Five years. Su Yi had no idea what cultivation level he would reach in that time, but he hoped for a significant breakthrough. Without it, taking the disciples of the Divine Demonic Sect safely out of Cang Lan City would be almost impossible.
“Five years…”
Chi Qin studied Su Yi carefully, his gaze contemplative. After a long pause, he finally nodded and said, “Alright. I will give you five years.”
“Thank you, Demon Emperor. There is one more matter I wish to discuss,” Su Yi said respectfully.
“Kid, you certainly have a lot to say. Speak!” Chi Qin replied, somewhat amused.
If it had been an ordinary human, they would have been trembling in fear or unable to speak in the presence of the Demon Emperor. Yet Su Yi stood before him, unmoved—neither overly humble nor arrogant. There was even a faint sense of suppression emanating from him, a presence that Chi Qin found strange.
Chi Qin let out a bitter smile inwardly. Su Yi was no ordinary human—that much was undeniable.
“I have several demon beasts that follow me closely. Their cultivation levels aren’t high, but they are extraordinary in their own right. I humbly ask the Demon Emperor to look after them during my absence,” Su Yi requested.
This was the Demon Woods, a place unsuitable for humans. However, the Golden Python, Fire-Eyes Beast Tiger, and the other demon beasts accompanying Su Yi were naturally suited to the environment.
