Chapter 736: The Early Bird Gets the Worm

Before Su Yi had time to think, the strange “eye” behind Qing Wan gazed up into the depths of the tribulation clouds overhead.

At that moment, the vortex-like blood-red tribulation lightning suddenly produced a sound that shook heaven and earth.

Immediately afterward, churning blood-red electrical tribulation light poured down like a waterfall, surging into the image of the strange eye.

After absorbing all that tribulation light, the eye shone as dazzling as a miniature sun, then fused into Qing Wan’s elegant figure, bit by bit.

Then, Qing Wan herself burst with radiant light!

Searing light soared into the heavens, dazzling beyond measure.

“This again…” A strange look appeared in Su Yi’s eyes.

He flipped his palm, and a mysterious soul jade appeared before him.

One surface was carved with a diagram almost identical to the strange eye, while the other side was carved with an elaborate, twisting Edict.

The soul jade originally belonged to Qing Wan. When Su Yi first obtained it, he could tell that it was made of Spirit-Harboring Profound Pith, a treasure of heaven and earth. Furthermore, the Edict and diagram were undoubtedly the work of an Imperial expert!

This was why Su Yi dared say with certainty that Qing Wan’s origins were extraordinary.

Furthermore, he’d inferred that the source power within the jade had long since transformed into a brand and fused into Qing Wan’s latent potential.

When Qing Wan encountered a lethal threat, the power of the brand would surge forth and help her avert disaster.

What was happening now was an example of this.

The final layer of her lightning tribulation was far beyond a Datura Flower Tribulation, and it contained a taboo aura that stunned even Su Yi.?However, Qing Wan used the power of the strange eye to crush the tribulation into powder!

Whoosh~~

As he pondered, Su Yi noticed that when the light of the tribulation enveloped Qing Wan, she underwent an earth-shaking metamorphosis.

Su Yi immediately took out a set of his clothes and charged over in a flash.

Qing Wan stood silently within the surging light, her graceful figure shrouded in ethereal, dreamlike spiritual light.

There wasn’t so much an inch of thread left on her.

What if someone saw this? Wouldn’t that be terrible?

Su Yi immediately wrapped Qing Wan in his clothing. However, that stunning scene lingered in his consciousness.

Tch, her figure’s getting better and better…?He couldn’t help but sigh to himself.

Now that he thought about it, this was his second time seeing Qing Wan entirely uncovered. Her beauty and figure were noticeably more exquisite than before.

“Uh…” Qing Wan had obviously realized what was happening, and her fair, jade-like face flushed red. She looked as if she longed to bury her head in her chest and hide.

When he saw how shy he was, Su Yi couldn’t help but laugh. “Quick, go back and cultivate. Take this time to stabilize your cultivation base.”

“Mm,” said Qing Wan, as quiet as a gnat.

With that, she disappeared into thin air, as if she were fleeing.

When we find a suitable opportunity, it’s about time for us to dual cultivate,?thought Su Yi.

Qing Wan had a pure Yin physique to begin with. Now that she was in the Spiritual Manifestation Realm and he’d already taught her the technique, dual cultivating would have enormous benefits for both of them.

Yin couldn’t exist with Yang, and Yang couldn’t grow without Yin.

Dual cultivation pursued the intermingling of Yin and Yang, the fusion of fire and water.

A moment later, Su Yi shook his head and looked up at the distant dome of heaven.

Although the tribulation clouds had dispersed, the stars still flickered, and the skies were still dusky. The rain of the light of the Grand Dao still poured down from the heavens.

This state had already lasted a little less than ten minutes.

However, the world’s cultivators only managed to obtain a small portion of this power.

The vast majority of the Grand Dao source energy ultimately merged into the Azure Continent, transforming into incomparably flourishing vital energy that nourished all living things. It would go on to transform everything about the continent…

However, it was still a bit early to discuss that.

Su Yi stood in midair, and although he’d yet to do anything, the raining Grand Dao source power poured into his body.

As he absorbed more and more, the Seed of the Azure grew within him. It was obviously thirty percent bigger than before!

“No——!”

Suddenly, someone shrieked in terror.

Far away, a cultivator coughed up blood, and his cultivation base crumbled as he plummeted from the heavens.

His cultivation was ruined. He’d been crippled!

The others striving for the rain of the light of the Grand Dao visibly reacted to this.

As wondrous of an opportunity as this is, too much is worse than too little. Overdoing it will inevitably result in backlash.?Su Yi shook his head.

One meal wasn’t enough to get fat. As miraculous as the rain of light was, it was important to be aware of how much one’s body could take. Going past your limits would do more harm than good.

A miraculous medicine could boost a cultivator’s cultivation, but if an ordinary mortal consumed the same pill, they’d be unable to bear its power. Their body would burst, killing them.

Gathering the light manifested?of the?Grand Dao was much the same.

The other cultivators took this scene as a warning, and all of them calmed down and repressed their greed.

This was indeed a grand opportunity, but they needed to make sure they could endure it!

A few of the cultivators even decided to stop here instead of coveting more.

“Qing Ya, don’t be greedy.” When Su Yi returned to Azurecloud Court, he saw that Qing Ya looked drunk. Her cheeks were ruddy, and she staggered. Su Yi couldn’t help but find the sight amusing.

He raised his hand and rapped her on the head.

Her agitated, chaotic qi instantly mellowed, and she returned to normal, as if awakening from a dream.

“Quick, go sit down and meditate,” ordered Su Yi.

“Okay!” Qing Ya chirped, turned, and walked back into Azurecloud Court.

In the time that followed, Weng Jiu and the Xia Emperor stopped too. They no longer tried to absorb any of the falling energy. Clearly, they too had reached the limit of what they could endure.

In the end, only the old blind man, Xuan Ning, and Ye Xun remained.

The three of them had similar situations, and Su Yi wasn’t worried about them.

Both the old blind man and Xuan Ning had been injured in a spatial storm on their way to the Azure Continent, and all that remained of them was a wisp of their soul.

However, they retained their knowledge and experience. They naturally knew how to refine the light of the Grand Dao for their own use.

In his peak, Ye Xun was the world-famous Netherworld Asura Emperor. He too knew when to stop.

Su Yi stood there calmly. The rain was still gathering toward him from all directions.

Like rivers flowing into the sea.

Su Yi was in possession of the Seed of the Azure, so he naturally wasn’t worried about being unable to bear this massive, unending influx of Grand Dao source power.

It won’t be too late to break through after they’ve reached their limit,?thought Su Yi. contemporary romance

He planned to break through too. His goal was the Spiritual Incarnation Realm!

Meanwhile—

“Ninth Libationer, the Seed of the Azure has yet to appear. I’m afraid someone has long since beaten us to the punch.”

Within the Dark Immortal Grounds, Xue Ye furrowed his brow.

The Spirit Lamp of Redemption cast black, fiery light as it drew in and absorbed the rain of the Grand Dao.

Not far away, the bony Ninth Libationer fell silent. A moment later, he said, “Don’t panic. Let me investigate.”

As he spoke, he removed a shiny silver mirror from his sleeves and soared into the air.

The mirror lit up, and profound and inscrutable energy fluctuations emanated from its surface. Immediately afterward, a succession of strange scenes appeared reflected on the glass.

A little while later

The images suddenly froze.

The Ninth Libationer looked at it, and was astonished to discover an incomparably magnificent city reflected on the mirror’s surface.

“Throughout the Azure Continent, this city’s concentration of the rain of the light of the Grand Dao is the densest. It’s far beyond other places,” said the Ninth Libationer, his gaze somber and his voice raspy. “I suspect that one of the experts within the city has obtained the Seed of the Azure!”

This treasure was called the Heaven-Surveying Spirit Mirror. It could sense the changes in the energies of heaven and earth and reflect different scenes. It was extremely mystical.

“Ee? Isn’t?that Nine?Tripod City?” Cui Jingyan exclaimed from not far away.

Xue Ye’s heart shook, and he looked flabbergasted. “Don’t tell me…”

The Ninth Libationer reacted as if he’d been struck by lightning. “It’s him!?”

Nine Tripod City was the imperial capital of the Great Xia, but throughout the city, only one person could have silently seized the Seed of the Azure before anyone else, and without anyone else knowing it.

And that was Su Yi!

The corners of Xue Ye’s lips twitched, and his expression turned utterly unsightly. “How could this have happened? We didn’t even get a chance to compete for it. He just ran off with it before anyone else…”

Cui Jingyan burst into laughter, her eyes narrowing into crescent moons. “I said it, didn’t I? You ought to be most on guard against Su Yi. ?But… Even I wouldn’t have guessed he’d be so capable. He didn’t give the rest of us a chance at all…”

Xue Ye was completely out of sorts.

The Ninth Libationer had a complex look on his face as he sighed, “We ought to have realized this a long time ago. This is someone the Adjudicator of the Netherworld has his eye on. How could he have let the Seed of the Azure slip through his fingers?”

“Enough already! Stop with all the sighing. Since Su Yi seized the seed, how about… we go snatch it from him?” Cui Jingyan suggested gleefully.

The Ninth Libationer snorted coldly, “Jingyan, seems to me that you’re looking to avenge a personal grudge. We won’t fall for it! If conflict breaks out,?you’ll?be fine. Su Yi will hold back out of respect for your grandfather. But what about us? We’ll be finished!”

Cui Jingyan pursed her lips and looked at Xue Ye. “And are you willing to see Su Yi obtain the Seed of the Azure?”

After a moment’s silence, Xue Ye said, “I’m not willing, but so what? My family’s ancestors aren’t anywhere near as impressive as the Adjudicator of the Netherworld.”

“....” Cui Jingyan sighed in disappointment. “How awfully dull.”

……

The Kunwu Mountain Ye Family.

“The Seed of the Azure must be in Nine Tripod City!” Ye Xiao furrowed his brow, and the depths of his gaze surged with cold intent and murderousness. “Once this grand stroke of fortune comes to a close, we have to investigate!”

Similar scenes took place in every peak faction of the Azure Continent.

“How could the Seed of the Azure possibly have appeared in Nine Tripod City out of nowhere?”

“That punk Su Yi must be behind this!”

“Bastard!

“He’s over the line! This is just too much!”

The various major factions were shaken into action, and some of the old-timers were so angry that they almost coughed up blood.

They’d waited and prepared for today’s good fortune for a long, long time. They’d racked their brains over it, without ever realizing that someone had already run off with the greatest fortune of all, the Seed of the Azure!

Who wouldn’t have felt stifled? Who wouldn’t have felt like they were going insane?
