Anomalies outside the sect

Su Wu's will woke up quickly and faded back into slumber just as fast.

Although Su Ming felt some regret that certain things remained unsaid, he did not show it too much.

At the very least, he now knew the location of the Chaos Dao Lord's next Legacy site.

As long as they pursued the Legacy of this former strongest expert of the Outer Void, their family would be reunited one day.

Thinking of this, Su Ming deactivated the Time Acceleration Formation and looked toward the distant heaven-reaching pagoda.

There were still two days left.

With his current strength, he no longer had to worry about being unable to pass the trials of the heaven-reaching pagoda; instead, he had to worry if his cultivation would advance too quickly, preventing him from participating in the Longevity Realm challenges.

During this period of cultivation, the Meridians and Dantian within Su Ming's body had become increasingly fragmented.

According to records, this was already the extreme limit of 'Fractured Meridians'.

The next Breakthrough in Realm would complete the Nirvana Rebirth of his Meridians and Dantian.

However, Su Ming was currently only at the seventh level of the Longevity Realm.

Thus, Su Ming looked toward Qu Xiangyang. At present, the only one who could answer this doubt was this Three Saints Sect Ancestor who had been to the Outer Void.

However, at this moment, Qu Xiangyang was still immersed in the shock of Su Wu's recent appearance.

He had never imagined that a dragon court imprint could be directly destroyed.

And Su Wu's wild, unrestrained voice had shaken his heart even more.

In the Outer Void, the Dragon Court Dragon Clan was a top-tier power. Whenever their clansmen traveled out, weren't they always the center of attention?

He had once seen the Dragon Court Dragon Clan traveling from afar, and it was truly an incredibly grand sight.

Yet, such a powerful Dragon Court Dragon Clan was nothing more than insects in Su Wu's eyes.

This made him even more glad that he had made a wise decision.

It wasn't until he heard Su Ming's second inquiry.

"I have now reached the final stage of 'Fractured Meridians'. What will happen if I break through to the next Realm?"

"You mean to say you have already reached the final stage of 'Fractured Meridians'?"

Hearing this, Qu Xiangyang was shocked once again.

He had only heard of such things in rumors.

It was said that those with exceptional talent could skip minor Realms when required to break through to a major Realm.

He didn't expect to actually see it now.

"If that is truly the case, after 'Fractured Meridians', you will instantly step into the Nirvana Realm... Moreover, if you can sense Star Power while in the Nirvana Realm and light up the stars within your body in advance, you can similarly skip the minor Realm requirements to reach the Star Realm."

A living legend had actually appeared before his eyes.

At this moment, Qu Xiangyang suddenly felt it was a waste for Su Ming.

If he hadn't stayed in the Qianyuan Continent since childhood but instead followed Su Wu and Ling Xiao, his achievements would be far beyond this.

It was said that the key Disciples of certain top-tier powers could step into the Void Realm in their teens.

They must have been talking about a Prodigy of Su Ming's level.

Then Qu Xiangyang began to feel lucky again. If Su Ming's parents hadn't placed him in this world, he might never have had the chance to cling to such a powerful figure in his entire life.

"The Nirvana Realm can also skip minor Realms to enter the Star Realm in advance?"

"Yes. There is a power in the Outer Void called the Eternal Pagoda. It is said that the current Pagoda Master's personal Disciple sensed Star Power while at the seventh level of the Nirvana Realm, lighting the stars in his body and stepping into the Star Realm."

"I see..."

"Since the Young Lord intends to challenge the heaven-reaching pagoda, it's better to suppress your cultivation for now," Qu Xiangyang advised.

Once he stepped into the Nirvana Realm, the heaven-reaching pagoda would naturally arrange Nirvana Realm trials, which would be extremely disadvantageous for Su Ming.

"That is exactly my plan. Let's go; there are still two days until the heaven-reaching pagoda opens."

"Yes, Young Lord." Qu Xiangyang bowed respectfully and followed Su Ming toward the heaven-reaching pagoda.

However, they had barely walked for less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn when a streak of light flew before them.

"It's the Three Saints Sect's secret communication technique," Qu Xiangyang explained, then injected spiritual energy into the light.

Liu Yong's voice came from within: "Old Ancestor, Sect Master Su, anomalies have recently appeared around the Three Saints Sect. Settlements are being attacked continuously, and the number of casualties has exceeded a thousand..."

"We sent Disciples to investigate, but no traces were found at the scene. It is very likely the work of Demonic Path Cultivators."

Hearing this, Su Ming instantly had the answer in his heart.

Chu Fan had previously cultivated a Demonic Path Cultivation Technique and had also sucked Ye Nantian dry.

Following this clue, the culprit naturally came to light.

"Have them constantly monitor the actions of the Qingyang Peak Disciple, Chu Fan. They will likely catch whoever is behind all this."

"But once discovered, absolutely do not alert the enemy recklessly, understood?"

Although Qu Xiangyang wondered why Su Ming was so confident, he still did as requested.

What if the investigation really proved it was Chu Fan's doing?

After all, when they investigated Li Jianping earlier, they found that he indeed had a close relationship with Qingyang Peak, having brought the master and Disciple from Qingyang Peak into the Three Saints Pool.

As the saying goes, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be askew. With a fellow like Li Jianping around, there was a high probability that the closely related Qingyang Peak had problems.

After sending the message back, Qu Xiangyang and Su Ming continued toward the heaven-reaching pagoda.

As for the Three Saints Sect, it was a different scene entirely, especially at Qingyang Peak.

At this moment, Jiang Wang felt as if he had fallen into a pit.

After Chu Fan regained his Dantian, he indeed showed the potential a Genius should have.

Even his Blazing Sun Fire Body underwent a mutation under the stimulation of the Spirit Devouring Body Forging Art, and the flames he could control gradually turned into Blood Flames.

Just as both Chu Fan and Jiang Wang were excited about this change, the former suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood and immediately fainted.

Seeing this, Jiang Wang was instantly stunned. Chu Fan was clearly fine, so how did he suddenly end up like this?

The Spirit Devouring Body Forging Art shouldn't have any backlash.

Before he could recover his senses, the Remnant Soul of Taotie instantly occupied Chu Fan's body and launched an attack using the spiritual energy left behind by Ye Nantian.

Fortunately, Jiang Wang acted in time, sealing the Remnant Soul of Taotie back to avert a crisis.

If the Remnant Soul of Taotie self-detonated the Dantian again, the Chu Fan he had painstakingly nurtured would be ruined.

When he brought Chu Fan back to the Three Saints Sect to recuperate, the latter's condition took another turn for the worse, looking as if he might drop dead at any moment.

Having returned to Qingyang Peak, Jiang Wang had no choice but to take out his own Medicinal Pills to treat Chu Fan and use spiritual energy to stabilize his injuries.

Just when he thought everything had settled, he suddenly noticed that an extremely well-hidden Formation had been set up around Qingyang Peak. If he weren't at the Peak Star Realm, he probably wouldn't have sensed it.

"Could it be that I've been exposed?"
