56: Isn't this dual cultivation? Ancient secrets!

Looking at the Three Grand Elders' bewildered expressions, Su Yang explained, "That day, after my Breakthrough, I tried to continue to Cultivate, but I unexpectedly found that I could sense the Spiritual Qi from outside, yet I couldn't absorb it into my body."

"Due to some special reasons, Junior Sister Yun Yao appeared again. Afterward, I discovered that by Dual Cultivation with female cultivators, the external Spiritual Qi could rapidly enter my body."

"So, after my Breakthrough, Junior Sister Yun Yao and I often Cultivated together, and my strength grew rapidly, progressing from Foundation Establishment Stage - Early Phase to Foundation Establishment Stage - Mid Phase in a short time."

Su Yang paused, and in their increasingly curious gazes, he continued, "When I arrived at Burial Immortal Valley, I received the recognition of the divine sword. The divine sword contained a large amount of Spiritual Qi from the Upper Realm."

"I found that through this Cultivation method, I could convert the Spiritual Qi from the Upper Realm within me into my true essence. Therefore, during my time in Burial Immortal Valley, my strength greatly increased again, quickly advancing from Foundation Establishment Stage - Mid Phase to Late Foundation Establishment Stage - Peak."

Su Yang omitted some details, but he did not hide anything about his Cultivation method.

He would be Cultivating under the Three Grand Elders in the future, which meant they would discover his special Cultivation method sooner or later. Rather than being passively discovered, it was better to tell them proactively.

If he were not the master of the divine sword, this Cultivation method might have been unacceptable to them.

But Su Yang now had something to rely on; his identity as the master of the divine sword allowed him to be very certain that the Three Grand Elders would not dwell too much on his special Cultivation method.

Telling them truthfully was the major prerequisite for him to be able to Cultivate peacefully and openly in the future.

"Your Cultivation method, why does it have a hint of the Demonic Path's style?"

Grand Elder Xuan Yan looked at Su Yang with a strange expression.

"Isn't this just Dual Cultivation?"

Grand Elder Xuan Jian said directly.

"It indeed resembles the Hehuan Sect's Cultivation method."

Grand Elder Xuan Qing also expressed his opinion.

The three of them exchanged glances again, in tacit understanding. Initially, they wondered if Su Yang was the Reincarnation of a Great Power. Now, hearing about Su Yang's Cultivation method after his Awakening, they silently suspected he might be the Reincarnation of a Great Power from the Demonic Path.

Otherwise, it was just too strange.

How could someone only be able to improve their cultivation through Dual Cultivation?

Even for the Hehuan Sect, Dual Cultivation was merely one Cultivation method, not the only one.

According to this, could this young man in front of them be considered the Demonic Path of the Demonic Path?

Isn't that a great demon!?

Yet, the true essence within Su Yang was extremely pure, without a trace of Demonic Path true essence.

More importantly, he was the master of the divine sword.

The divine sword in Burial Immortal Valley was not a demonic sword, but a supreme sword.

To be recognized by a supreme sword, he couldn't possibly be a person of the Demonic Path.

"Strange!"

"You, young man, are truly strange."

Grand Elder Xuan Yan scratched his already disheveled hair, then simply got up and paced around Su Yang, three circles to the left and three to the right.

"Revered Master Xuan Yan, this Disciple also finds it strange, but this Disciple is also helpless. Currently, I can only Cultivate through this method."

Su Yang said, meeting the gaze of the Three Grand Elders directly.

"You just said you could convert the Spiritual Qi from the Upper Realm into your own true essence?"

Grand Elder Xuan Qing asked.

"Yes."

Su Yang replied.

Grand Elder Xuan Qing nodded, said nothing, and his gaze towards Su Yang deepened.

Silence fell in the room for a moment.

Su Yang broke the silence, "Three Masters, do you have any other questions?"

"No more."

Grand Elder Xuan Qing shook his head, temporarily suppressing his doubts, and said to Su Yang, "Your Cultivation method is somewhat peculiar for the Righteous Path. We will discuss how to handle it later and inform you."

Then he changed the subject, "Returning from Burial Immortal Valley, you must have questions in your heart. Ask whatever you want to ask."

As expected of a Great Power at the Grand Elder level, he knew Su Yang had questions even before he spoke.

Su Yang was not worried about the Cultivation issue. He thought for a moment and asked, "May I ask the Three Masters, what exactly happened with Burial Immortal Valley? Why did the Spiritual Qi from the Upper Realm fall from the Upper Realm? And those eleven giant mountains, are they mountains or people?"

Grand Elder Xuan Yan, who was pacing, said, "You should be able to tell that Burial Immortal Valley is an ancient battlefield. It is the dividing line between the first era and the second era. This war ended the first era and began the second era."

"Was it a war between the Immortal and Demonic Dao of the Myriad Spirits Realm?"

"During the first era, there was no such thing as the so-called Immortal and Demonic Dao. This term only appeared after the Battle of Burial Immortal Valley ended."

Grand Elder Xuan Qing said, "It is rumored that the war that erupted in Burial Immortal Valley was not fought by cultivators from the Myriad Spirits Realm, but by Immortals from the Upper Realm. For unknown reasons, they started fighting, from the Upper Realm down to the Lower Realm. In the Battle of Burial Immortal Valley, all Immortals from the Upper Realm perished, leaving no bones, only their Magical Artifacts."

"Ah? Immortals from the Upper Realm are that weak?"

Su Yang was astonished.

Although the battle pit in Burial Immortal Valley was spectacular, it wasn't particularly exaggerated. At that scale, two cultivators at the Body Integration Stage could easily create such battle traces by clashing.

And the millions of ancient Magical Artifacts in Burial Immortal Valley were enough to illustrate the immense scale of that battle.

If all participants were Immortals from the Upper Realm, then this scale could be described as a minor skirmish, like a temperamental child punching a sandpit, nothing more.

It was hardly terrifying.

Grand Elder Xuan Qing laughed, saying as he did, "Burial Immortal Valley has countless Magical Artifacts. Just based on these Magical Artifacts, do you think their owners would be weak?"

Su Yang was stunned for a moment.

He shook his head without hesitation.

The Magical Artifacts in Burial Immortal Valley were all very powerful, especially those golden Magical Artifacts. He had picked up many of them, and even after more than thirty thousand years of weathering, the power contained within them could still be described as devastating.

Not to mention the divine sword in his hand, which could destroy heaven and earth without effort.

"That's strange. Based on the battlefield situation I saw, it really doesn't match the strength of those ancient Magical Artifacts on the battlefield."

Su Yang murmured.

Grand Elder Xuan Jian said:

"It is said that Eternal Immortal Emperor stopped them! Legend has it that in the final battle, two Immortal Emperors from the Upper Realm gathered the power of all Immortals in their respective camps, both wanting to deliver a fatal blow to the other."

"The power of their clash was enough to reduce the entire Myriad Spirits Realm, including its land, to dust and ashes."

"It was Eternal Immortal Emperor who took action to save all humans in the Myriad Spirits Realm. He used his supreme power to restrain the terrifying, destructive power of the two Immortal Emperors, confining the force that could have destroyed the entire Myriad Spirits Realm, thus only causing the battlefield scale of Burial Immortal Valley that you see now."

"However, the power of the two Immortal Emperors was too formidable. After being restrained by Eternal Immortal Emperor, it inevitably pierced through the firmament of the Upper Realm, causing Spiritual Qi from the Upper Realm to continuously leak downwards."

"As for the eleven giant mountains you saw, we don't know whether they are people or mountains. We only heard that they are suppressing certain things."

"Suppressing?"

Su Yang's heart inexplicably skipped a beat.

"The power of the two Immortal Emperors could pierce through the Upper Realm, and naturally, it could also pierce through the Lower Realm."

"It is rumored! Only rumored! After the final blow of the two Immortal Emperors was restrained by Eternal Immortal Emperor, it simultaneously pierced through both the Upper and Lower Realms."

"Before this, no one knew that a Lower Realm existed. It was precisely when the two Immortal Emperors broke through the Lower Realm that extremely terrifying things escaped, and only then did people realize that a Lower Realm existed."

"Those eleven giant mountains you saw also appeared to suppress the Lower Realm."

"As for whether they are people, mountains, or some other things, too much time has passed, and it is impossible to verify."

"The so-called powerhouses of the current era also lack the strength to investigate the actual situation of those eleven giant mountains."

Grand Elder Xuan Qing said calmly.

Although he had lived for ten thousand years, the Battle of Burial Immortal Valley happened too early. He had not experienced these events himself, and what he knew were merely rumors.

"What happened to the two Immortal Emperors from the Upper Realm in the end?"

"And what about Eternal Immortal Emperor? What happened to him in the end?"

Su Yang asked curiously.
