Chapter 593: A New Heart!
“Is facing the wall for three years really a punishment, or is it just a show since Yun Lingfeng was excluded from the Saint Martial Assembly?”
“It seems the higher-ups in the sect are favoring Yun Lingfeng. Elder Su stands no chance against them.”
“Su Yi is undeniably extraordinary. Given more time, he would have undoubtedly become world-renowned. Alas, the heavens are envious of his talent!”
“Yun Lingfeng was given significant benefits, seen as the future of the Divine Sword School. In contrast, Su Yi, despite his exceptional abilities, met a tragic end. Naturally, people favored Yun Lingfeng.”
“…”
Upon hearing news of Yun Lingfeng’s punishment, whispers spread among the Divine Sword School disciples, their sympathy leaning towards him and finding the situation unjust.
“It is said that the Saint Martial Assembly is not just any event. Powerful forces from the Central Region participate. If one achieves greatness there, they could become famous worldwide. Yun Lingfeng losing his spot means he’s missed the chance to make a name for himself.”
“What is the Saint Martial Assembly?”
“The Saint Martial Assembly is a grand event for the young talents of the Central Region. Anyone under twenty-five can join. It’s a chance for disciples from powerful forces to demonstrate their skills.”
“The Sacred Mountain hosts the Assembly. Those showing exceptional talent might be invited to train at the Sacred Mountain. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”
“Will the young talents from the Sacred Mountain also participate?”
As the news of the Saint Martial Assembly spread, it captured the attention of youth everywhere, becoming a highly anticipated event in the Central Region.

In a mysterious and desolate void, far from anyone’s reach, within a brilliant cocoon of light, Su Yi was enveloped in a dazzling glow.
His heart, pierced and broken, was gradually corroded, completely disintegrated, and shattered.
“Whoosh…”
The mysterious vitality and radiance, which once surged from Su Yi’s heart, couldn’t withstand the destructive red light, leading to their disintegration.
Within the destructive red light was an unseen energy that began to pull Su Yi’s shattered heart back together.
It seemed as though Su Yi’s heart had been completely destroyed, yet it remained whole—shattered but not scattered, cracked but not split.
“Hooooray…”
After an unknown time, Su Yi’s heart was transformed into a burning fire, its intense heat spreading throughout his entire body.
The blazing flames threatened to consume him, to reduce him to nothing but ashes.
The overwhelming red light seeped into every pore, enveloping Su Yi’s body with a scorching intensity, capable of consuming all in its path.
Su Yi appeared to have fallen into a deep trance, his awareness seemingly lost.
However, the excruciating pain, the searing torment that consumed him, continued to wrack his body mercilessly.
“What is this… What aura is this? This is a great opportunity. Who is this young man, and where does he come from?”
A soft voice echoed within the space, filled with amazement, fear, and excitement.
—
“A great opportunity, an immense advantage…”
A voice, filled with astonishment and joy, resonated as mysterious vitality began to radiate from Su Yi’s being. Even amidst the blazing flames, it surged continuously, as if boundless.
Su Yi’s heart had already become a sea of fire, as if reduced to ashes. It felt like his heart was ripped from his chest, leaving only emptiness.
This pain—piercing through his heart—was undoubtedly the most terrifying ordeal any human could endure. For an ordinary person, it would have been overwhelming.
“Sizzle, sizzle…”
Su Yi’s heart emitted a constant sizzling noise as smoke billowed from his chest, fully consumed by crimson-red flames.
“Human child, I suppose I’ve saved half of your life, aiding you in totality. But in exchange, will our fates be bound forever?”
The soft voice whispered gently, and the space soon returned to calm.
Only the endless radiance of vitality remained, emanating from within Su Yi and flowing to his heart. Despite the intense flames, it offered protection, continuing to breathe life into him.
No one could see this, and if they did, they would be speechless.
Su Yi, even though his heart was shattered but not scattered, cracked but not split, was still in extreme danger. One misstep could turn him into ash.
But this mysterious vitality silently protected Su Yi’s heart.

“Yin and yang, reaching for the heavens, diving into the moon’s cave, breaking through chaos, and harvesting grains from the world. Using the five elements of yin and yang to transform all things, becoming the spirit of the universe. In the beginning, it aligns with heaven, but in the end, heaven withdraws it. To follow the path of alchemical transformation, one must embrace both yin and yang. However, this moment is fleeting, easily lost and hard to find, easily mistaken and difficult to grasp. If acquired, one follows the path of life; if lost, one enters the path of death. The path of alchemical transformation is the way of heaven’s yang, of preheaven. Preheaven encompasses all, moves the heavenly yang, connects with the secrets beyond heaven and earth. Through it, one can understand life and death, evade reincarnation, and transcend the mundane to achieve a sacred foundation…”
In a daze, Su Yi seemed to murmur these words while sitting cross-legged on the cracked ancient stone platform. His hands occasionally formed seals.
As time passed, Su Yi’s heart seemed to have shattered entirely. The crimson flesh and radiant flames merged, reshaping into a new heart.
This heart, though it still beat strongly, became something entirely different. A fist-sized sphere, glowing crimson, resembling a small sun that radiated a dazzling light.
Inside the mysterious space of Su Yi’s mind, the crimson light spread, flowing through his limbs and body, pulsating with waves of red energy.
Most significantly, this crimson light infused Su Yi’s new heart, refining and reshaping it countless times. It felt as though stronger seeds were planted within it, injecting greater vitality, enabling it to sprout with renewed vigor.
Su Yi’s new heart flourished, filled with new life and energy, like the rising sun.
—
At last, Su Yi’s body no longer convulsed, as if he had passed through the harrowing trial. The mysterious radiance of vitality vanished without a trace.
Su Yi sat cross-legged, his body glowing, completely immersed in a mysterious state.
His robes had turned to ashes, leaving him naked. His flesh glowed with a radiant golden hue, translucent and pure, like precious jade. All his wounds had healed.
In this mysterious void, time lost its meaning. It was eerily silent, undisturbed by anyone.
After what felt like an eternity, Su Yi’s body became increasingly radiant, enveloped in a gentle glow. A faint sound of harmony could be heard emanating from within him.
