194: Great terror, the severance of cause and effect
"Aaahhh!"
Su Yu plummeted from the sky and crashed into the ground, smashing a deep crater into the earth.
Terrifying blood flowed from both his eyes; one could even see his shattered eyeballs on the ground nearby.
Furthermore, Su Yu's skull had split open like a watermelon, held together only by a force that tightly bound it, preventing his head from completely shattering.
However, a trace of milky-white substance seeped out through the cracks.
An inexplicable power flooded Su Yu's body, nearly causing him to burst.
In the next instant, Su Yu channeled the True Spirit Nine Revolutions with all his might, transforming into the True Spirit form of the Heavenly Peak Giant Ape.
He attempted to resist this power.
However, it was still to no avail!
The power surged wildly through Su Yu's body in an instant. With a strange cry, he exploded like a watermelon.
Blood covered the sky, clinging to the Void Realm like viscous slime.
"Phew!"
Su Yu suddenly jolted awake from the deduction. Looking at the scenes from the deduction, he felt a chill run down his spine from the fright.
Fortunately, he had interrupted the deduction in time. Had he continued, he would have perished completely, just like the version of himself in those visions.
Just who was that being? During the Art of Heavenly Secrets deduction, the version of himself within the vision had merely glanced at that person before dying such a miserable death.
With such a level of cultivation, even a True Immortal wouldn't be able to achieve that, right?
Could it be a powerhouse at an even higher level above the True Immortal stage?!
This was the first time Su Yu had encountered such vivid imagery during a deduction.
In the past, he only received information through feedback from the Art of Heavenly Secrets.
Now, he could clearly see images.
Could this be some kind of omen?
"No, I can't stay in the Netherworld Realm any longer!"
Su Yu made up his mind; he had to leave the Netherworld Realm immediately.
After all, this place was so close to the Underworld, and since the Underworld was a part of the Immortal Realm, it wasn't impossible for a True Immortal to cross over.
In fact... Su Yu didn't even dare to think further!
Taking Mysterious Wind with him, he departed in a hurry. In less than half a day, he traversed hundreds of millions of miles and left through that spatial crack.
After leaving, he sealed off the area. Still feeling it wasn't secure enough, he purchased a high-grade heaven-reaching spirit treasure made of Golden Thunder Bamboo from the System Mall to suppress the site.
Only then did Su Yu breathe a sigh of relief.
Following Su Yu's abrupt departure, the Ghost Ancestor Lingguang was left looking completely bewildered.
He had been pondering how to deal with this person, but he hadn't expected him to suddenly leave in such a rush.
It was as if some evil ghost were chasing him from behind.
Such strange behavior left Lingguang scratching his head.
So, he sought out his two close friends and shared his confusion.
However, after a bout of analysis, they felt that something must have gone wrong in the Nine Spirits Realm that required his urgent attention.
Nevertheless, it was for the best that Su Yu had left; they were much more at ease. The three of them even joined forces to reinforce the spatial crack between the Netherworld Realm and the Nine Spirits Realm, fearing Su Yu might descend again.
What neither side knew was that at this moment, an intangible and invisible eye in the sky was watching everything with indifference.
In particular, Su Yu's actions in the Nine Spirits Realm could not be hidden from the gaze of this eye.
However, the owner of this eye made no move, merely watching silently.
An unknown amount of time passed, as if through the shifting of seas and mulberry fields and the passage of ages.
A deep sigh drifted from where those eyes were... Su Yu had now returned to Immortal Spirit City. Upon his return, he instructed everyone not to go out for a hundred years and then entered secluded cultivation.
Su Yu upgraded his Art of Heavenly Secrets and purchased every Cultivation Technique and secret art he could use from the mall.
While his Art of Heavenly Secrets combined with the Heavenly Saint Divine Ability could peer into a sliver of his future,
the risk was too great.
It was far better to improve his Art of Heavenly Secrets itself.
Otherwise, it would be truly disastrous if he saw such a terrifying being again one day.
Once the Art of Heavenly Secrets reached a profound level, anything involving his life would provide timely feedback.
That way, when he deduced the heavenly secrets again, he would know what he should and should not attempt to deduce.
He wouldn't be like he was in the Netherworld Realm, using the Heavenly Saint Divine Ability to assist when the heavenly secrets were difficult to deduce.
It was fortunate that his Art of Heavenly Secrets wasn't poor, allowing him to interrupt it in time.
Otherwise, his end would have been exactly like the scenes he saw in the deduction.
A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye, like a white horse leaping a gap.
Su Yu finally Cultivated the Art of Heavenly Secrets to an unfathomable level.
Now, as long as something involved him, he would receive feedback from the heavenly secrets.
He didn't even need to use his full power to deduce; even secrets involving the Mahayana Stage would be fed back to him.
This way, when he possessed the spirit puppet, he could avoid many risks even within the Immortal Medicine Garden.
Meanwhile, his original body would focus all its efforts on refining his cultivation to reach the Mahayana Stage as soon as possible.
By then, even without a xuantian spiritual treasure, he would be at the level of a Peak Mahayana Stage Cultivator.
"Eh? Why is she back?"
Suddenly, Su Yu seemed to sense something as the heavenly secrets provided him with a piece of information.
It was none other than Moon Chang returning to Immortal Spirit City.
Furthermore, according to the feedback, Moon Chang's Realm had reached the Peak of the Mid Integration Stage, only a hair's breadth away from the Late Stage.
Su Yu couldn't help but be stunned by such rapid progress.
"Just what kind of Opportunity did this girl find? To have such speed, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it unprecedented!"
However, at that moment, the heavenly secrets seemed to change again.
Moon Chang only arrived in the sky above Immortal Spirit City without entering. Instead, she gave a deep, respectful bow toward Su Yu's direction before her figure flickered and vanished.
Su Yu was surprised to find that the Divine Soul mark he had left on Moon Chang had actually disappeared.
Following that, in the deduction of heavenly secrets, his Karma with Moon Chang also vanished.
Before he could even attempt to deduce further, the heavenly secrets gave him a sliver of dangerous feedback.
It seemed that if he continued the deduction, he would encounter something of great horror.
For a moment, Su Yu was completely stunned.
In the short span of a hundred years, he had encountered so many incidents.
And each was more significant than the last!
First was that vision in the Netherworld Realm, and now the severing of his Karma with Moon Chang.
It seemed to hint at something unusual.
He knew Moon Chang was special, but he hadn't expected her to be this special.
"Forget it, this is for the best. After all, I'm involved in too many things. Her severing Karma with me saves her from being dragged into my troubles."
Su Yu sighed, ultimately convincing himself to look on the bright side.
He held the immortal key to the Immortal Medicine Garden. At this moment, the immortal key was flickering, emitting a hazy white light.
Su Yu understood that the Immortal Medicine Garden was about to open.
Thus, he transferred his entire cultivation into the spirit puppet and also handed over all his Spirit Treasures to it.
Next, Su Yu embedded a wisp of his Divine Soul into the core of the spirit puppet.
His consciousness shifted, and in the next instant, his perspective saw himself through the eyes of the spirit puppet.
"Quite miraculous, even more so than an external incarnation!"
