237: Emperor Lingdan

The Ancestor Xuan looked at Su Changqing with some curiosity and asked.

It was already deep into the night. Could it be that Changqing had something indescribably important to discuss by seeking him out?

Su Changqing smiled faintly, then slowly rose to his feet:

"Ancestor Xuan, I see your Qi is at Perfection. I'm afraid you are only one step away from the Emperor Realm, aren't you?"

Upon hearing this, the Ancestor Xuan did not hesitate and nodded, saying:

"Indeed. Although it's only one step away, no one on the Heavenly Martial Continent has reached the Emperor Realm from the Peak Saint Realm for many years. Even with an Emperor Realm Cultivation Technique, this step remains difficult."

That's right.

From the Saint Realm to the Emperor Realm, it seemingly involves only one Realm, but in reality, it's like an insurmountable chasm.

The difficulty is extraordinarily immense.

Even the Ancestor Xuan didn't have much confidence.

Su Changqing smiled faintly. He flipped his palm, and a dark green Medicinal Pill bottle appeared in his hand.

He gently opened the bottle, and a dark, profound Medicinal Pill lay quietly inside.

Instantly, a vast Spiritual Qi emanated from the Medicinal Pill bottle, filling the entire room. Within that Spiritual Qi, an endless, terrifying aura spread.

"This... what kind of Medicinal Pill is this? Why is it so terrifying? Just a single sniff, and my Bottleneck has loosened slightly."

The Ancestor Xuan's voice was somewhat unsteady.

The efficacy of the Medicinal Pill Su Changqing took out was truly too terrifying; his internal Bottleneck had actually loosened slightly. If this were to spread, it would likely shock the entire Heavenly Martial Continent.

After all, he was already at the Peak Saint Realm, and there were already very few Medicinal Pills on the Heavenly Martial Continent that could help him Breakthrough.

Su Changqing said with a chuckle:

"This Medicinal Pill is called the Emperor Spirit Pill. As for its efficacy, it can increase the probability of a Breakthrough to the Emperor Realm by 50%."

Ancestor Xuan: "????"

What?

Inc... increase the probability by 50%?

Holy cow!

Is that true or false?!

His eyes were filled with disbelief.

50%, that's 50%!

If this were to spread, there probably wouldn't be a single Martial Artist on the entire Heavenly Martial Continent who could resist such a temptation.

"Changqing, are you... are you not joking?"

The Ancestor Xuan's mind was still somewhat muddled.

50%—increasing the probability of a Breakthrough to the Emperor Realm by 50%—that's simply an Immortal Pill.

Such a Medicinal Pill had never been heard of throughout the many years of the Heavenly Martial Continent.

Su Changqing smiled faintly and said:

"Naturally. When have I ever lied to you, old man?"

That's true.

Moreover, the Medicinal Pills Su Changqing had given him before all had extremely terrifying effects. Now, taking out this Emperor Spirit Pill, which can increase the probability of a Breakthrough to the Emperor Realm by 50%, also seemed reasonable.

The Ancestor Xuan tremblingly picked up the bottle of Emperor Spirit Pill, his eyes filled with excitement.

Emperor Realm!

This was the admission ticket to breaking through to the Emperor Realm!

"Changqing, this Medicinal Pill is exceptionally precious. You'll also need it when you Breakthrough to the Emperor Realm."

Su Changqing smiled faintly.

Increase the probability by 50%?

What's the difference between that and seeking death?

If he were to Breakthrough, he would naturally need more than just this item.

After all, Su Changqing was a cautious person.

Of course, although he didn't need it, this item was an incredibly rare Immortal Pill for all Martial Artists on the Heavenly Martial Continent.

"Don't worry, Ancestor Xuan, I still have more. Just take it and refine it."

More??

The Ancestor Xuan was stunned. Seeing Su Changqing's confident expression, he immediately understood.

"In that case, this old man will not decline."

The Ancestor Xuan's eyes were burning with fervor; he was already impatient to return and refine this Emperor Spirit Pill.

After chatting for a while, the Ancestor Xuan left in a hurry.

Su Changqing chuckled softly, his expression relaxed.

If the Ancestor Xuan could successfully Breakthrough to the Emperor Realm, the pressure on him would naturally lessen significantly.

Of course, now that the myriad races didn't know he was still alive, he could go into secluded cultivation for a period, which would be perfect for organizing his recent gains.

Three days later!

During these three days, Su Changqing spent time with his Revered Master, First Senior Sister, and Second Senior Sister respectively, making him quite busy.

Even a Great Master of time management would be no more so.

However, fortunately, all three parties were quite satisfied.

Indeed, a Great Master of time management not only needs precise control over time but also requires powerful personal strength.

Otherwise, if one were to move on to the next task while still fatigued, wouldn't it immediately expose everything?

After appeasing the three, Su Changqing officially began his secluded cultivation.

He set up a Formation at his residence on Lingyun Peak to isolate it from the outside world's aura.

"My Burning Sky Azure Flame is now of a higher Rank. I suppose my Puppet Technique and Alchemy can be improved."

Su Changqing sat cross-legged, pondering inwardly.

Without the slightest hesitation, he took out the Shennong Cauldron and began to refine Medicinal Pills and Puppets.

At this moment, outside.

Recently, the Disciples of the Tai Xuan Sect had returned to the Sect one after another, and the previously grand search for Su Changqing had also ceased.

"Father, we still haven't found any trace of Su Shengzi."

Wei Ranzhi frowned tightly, somewhat puzzled.

Could it be that Su Changqing really met with an accident?

That shouldn't be the case.

Upon hearing this, Wei Shengwu's face showed a smile, as if he had seen through everything.

"Ran Zhi, go and recall all the Sect Disciples. There's no need to search anymore."

Wei Ranzhi was stunned.

No need to search?

Could it be that Su Shengzi met with an accident?

In an instant, her face turned pale.

"Father, could it be that Su Shengzi encountered some dangerous mishap?"

Wei Shengwu laughed heartily:

"Of course not! And that boy is living well right now and has already returned to the Tai Xuan Sect."

Wei Ranzhi was confused, so Wei Shengwu continued to explain:

"Ran Zhi, a few days ago, the Tai Xuan Sect was originally making a huge commotion searching for Changqing's whereabouts, but now it has suddenly gone quiet. The entire Sect is silent; one could even say there's no movement at all.

This indicates that Changqing has returned to the Sect."

"Otherwise, the entire Tai Xuan Sect would have already erupted in chaos."

Upon hearing Wei Shengwu's explanation, Wei Ranzhi finally understood.

So that's how it is.

"I understand, Father."

Wei Ranzhi nodded.

Wei Shengwu smiled faintly:

"Ran Zhi, although your cultivation progress is fast, and with the augmentation of an Emperor Realm Cultivation Technique, you are even more powerful, there is still a considerable gap compared to Changqing. Therefore, I plan to let you enter my Wei family's ancestral Spirit Land. However, entering it carries unpredictable risks. Are you willing?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Ranzhi lightly bit her red lip.

"Father, your child is willing!"

The ancestral Spirit Land was the key to the Wei family's rise.

Back then, a young Wei Shengwu had gained many benefits from it, which led to his achievements today.

However, he had not previously intended to let Wei Ranzhi enter it, as it was too dangerous, and a slight mistake could lead to falling.

But now, he had changed his mind.

Su Changqing's growth rate was too fast. If Ran Zhi didn't increase her cultivation speed, she might never be able to catch up even a little bit in her entire life.

She might not even qualify to be his servant, let alone his wife.

"Good, truly worthy of being my Wei Shengwu's daughter."

"Alright, go prepare yourself. Tomorrow, I will personally send you in."

"Yes!"

Wei Ranzhi cupped her hands and then departed.
