508: Chapter 58 He didn't want it anymore, why insist on giving it to him?
Su Yun cupped his hands and said respectfully,
"Senior Martial Immortal, this Junior shall take his leave now!"
After speaking, he turned directly to leave.
This entry into Martial Immortal City...
...could be considered quite a bountiful harvest.
He had even comprehended the Law of War.
It could be said that the trip was already worthwhile!
Even if he didn't obtain the Martial Immortal's other Legacies, it wouldn't be a loss!
"Don't be in such a hurry, little friend Su Yun, please stay."
"I still have things to say!"
The Martial Immortal took a step forward and arrived in front of Su Yun.
"Hmm? Does Senior have any other instructions?"
Su Yun was somewhat puzzled.
Hadn't he just refused?
Why were there still other things to say?
Could it be that he wanted to forcibly transfer his power to him?
Hiss~ that's not right!
He didn't even want it, yet he still insisted on giving it?
"Little friend Su Yun, don't misunderstand, I have no other intentions."
"Then what do you mean?"
The Martial Immortal coughed lightly, his tone gentle:
"Ahem, congratulations, you have passed my Heart-Questioning trial."
"Little friend Su Yun, you undoubtedly possess the most stable Dao Heart."
"I truly did not misjudge you."
"Do you know?"
"In tens of thousands of years."
"Only you have passed the trial with increased difficulty."
"When I first set up Martial Immortal City."
"I didn't set the trials to be too difficult."
"The result was..."
"...many peerless Geniuses who passed the numerous trials..."
"...could not withstand the temptation of power."
"In the end, they chose to reach the heavens in a single bound."
"Though they had extremely strong talent..."
"...their Dao Hearts were unstable."
"Their hearts for seeking the Dao were not firm."
"Thus, not a single person was able to pass the final Heart-Questioning trial."
"That's why I later increased the difficulty of the trials."
"Thinking that this would allow me to filter out a more suitable person."
"Just now, if you had agreed..."
"...I actually wouldn't have given the Legacy to you."
"In truth, there is no such good thing as reaching the heavens in a single bound."
"You can only rely on your own cultivation..."
"...to become an Immortal Realm powerhouse."
"On the path of Immortal cultivation..."
"...especially after Immortal Ascension..."
"...if one wishes to cultivate the Great Dao..."
"...the firmness of the heart towards the Dao is even more important."
"There are many Cultivators with extraordinary talent who became Immortals."
"But because their hearts towards the Dao were not stable..."
"...it was difficult to increase their cultivation."
"In the end, they wasted their natural talents for nothing."
"So that's how it is."
"This Junior has been enlightened."
Su Yun said respectfully.
He was wondering why the Martial Immortal's words seemed a bit strange just now.
They contained a peculiar power.
So it was a trial!
"Little friend Su Yun, it's good that you understand!"
"Come, follow me."
"I will pass on all the martial Dao Spells I've collected in Martial Immortal City to you."
"This also includes a large number of Heaven And Earth Treasures I've collected, as well as the primal spirit source that constitutes Martial Immortal City."
"The primal spirit source is a supreme treasure from the ancient era."
"It happens to be suitable for you."
"This way, you'll be better able to deal with the crisis of the Haomiao Realm."
The Martial Immortal waved his hand and spoke directly.
Hearing this, Su Yun's eyes lit up.
The Martial Immortal had actually mentioned the crisis of the Haomiao Realm.
That meant the Martial Immortal might know something.
But that wasn't surprising.
After all, the Martial Immortal was in the Immortal Realm.
He certainly knew more.
Presumably, the Martial Immortal very likely knew the specific purpose of the Jiyuan Palace.
Why use a Formation to blockade the Haomiao Realm?
What exactly were they looking for?
Only by knowing these things...
...could he better prescribe the right medicine...
...to resolve this crisis.
Thinking of this, Su Yun cupped his hands again and asked:
"Senior Martial Immortal, I have a question I'd like to ask you!"
"Oh? Ask away."
"What exactly is the crisis of the Haomiao Realm you mentioned, Senior?"
"I don't know."
The Martial Immortal shook his head directly.
???
"Senior Martial Immortal, you are an Immortal Realm powerhouse."
"You even said there's a crisis in the Haomiao Realm."
"How could you not know?"
Su Yun's mouth twitched upon hearing this.
"If it were my main body, I could probably find out."
"But I am only a Clone composed of a wisp of Immortal Sense."
"This Martial Immortal City was set up tens of thousands of years ago."
"Furthermore, the main body set a Restriction."
"I cannot interfere with anything within the Haomiao Realm."
"As for how I know the Haomiao Realm's crisis is imminent..."
"...it's because I practiced a special Immortal technique."
"I perceived a vision of the Haomiao Realm being destroyed in the near future."
"That's why I said that."
"Then Senior Martial Immortal, your main body..."
Su Yun was just about to say something.
The Martial Immortal seemed to see through Su Yun's thoughts and shook his head:
"The main body doesn't know about this."
"Because even I can no longer contact the main body."
"The main body should be in some special Immortal domain."
"So this matter can only be solved by yourselves."
"Alright, I knew it would be like this."
Su Yun nodded.
Another classic trope.
Clearly, there's an ascended powerhouse...
...who could easily solve the crisis.
But they just happen to go offline at the critical moment.
Either they can't be contacted, or for various reasons, they can't take action.
In the end, it can only rely on the protagonist to turn the tide...
...and solve the crisis.
And then obtain a great Opportunity.
This trope is just too classic.
Just to let the protagonist show off...
...things are made to be troublesome.
"Alright, follow me!"
Seeing that Su Yun had no more questions, the Martial Immortal simply waved his sleeve.
In an instant, the world changed.
The nearby jungle was like ink wash.
It quietly faded away.
Then it directly dissipated.
After a burst of spatial fluctuations.
Su Yun suddenly discovered that he had actually been inside a mural just now.
After leaving the mural.
He arrived directly inside a great hall.
And it wasn't the previous Hall of Miscellaneous Articles.
"Is this the Martial Immortal Hall?"
Su Yun looked at the surrounding furnishings and the statue of the Martial Immortal standing outside, and spoke directly.
"Indeed."
The Martial Immortal replied.
"Aside from the Martial Ancestor Scripture and the war soul essence you obtained previously."
"The rest of the Legacies are beneath the Martial Immortal Hall."
"That is the most core location of Martial Immortal City."
Just then, many Cultivators turned into streaks of spiritual light and flew into the Martial Immortal Hall.
They began searching for Legacies.
Soon, the entire Martial Immortal Hall became lively.
Su Yun took a look.
He saw that the Cultivators who entered were mainly those from the various Holy Lands.
This included Liu Chengfeng and some of the Taixuan Elder.
Immediately, his gaze fell on a figure at the very back.
That figure was a somewhat disheveled Ye Xuan.
At this moment, Ye Xuan's face was black and blue.
He was anxiously searching for something.
???
"What did I miss?"
"How did Ye Xuan end up like this?"
Su Yun was somewhat surprised.
Why did Ye Xuan look so miserable?
Wasn't he an Immortal's Rebirth?
To actually end up in such a sorry state?
Even worse than the previous few protagonists?
Could it be that the life script was written wrong?
That's also impossible!
The Martial Immortal noticed Su Yun's gaze and also looked at Ye Xuan, shaking his head and sighing:
"Little friend Su Yun, you know him?"
"Alas, I must say this little friend is truly a pity."
"Although his talent is extremely strong."
"His body contains a slaughter immortal bone."
"He is suspected to be an Immortal's Rebirth."
"He is also a person of destiny."
"But his Heart-Nature is too poor."
"He couldn't even pass the tests I set up very well."
"Ah?"
Su Yun suddenly understood.
It turned out that Ye Xuan being so miserable...
...was the Martial Immortal's fault.
Previously, Ye Xuan being suddenly sucked into Martial Immortal City...
...was likely also the Martial Immortal's doing.
As expected, there are no accidents.
Only behind-the-scenes manipulation.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."
"Little friend Su Yun, follow me!"
The Martial Immortal walked in front, slowly heading towards the deepest part of the Martial Immortal Hall.
Su Yun also followed.
At this moment, both of them were covered in a layer of faint white light.
The Cultivators passing by could not see their figures.
Even Ye Xuan didn't notice a thing.
