Saint Sovereign of Nine Heavens

On the way back, Su Tang turned her head and looked at Chen Yu as if she was looking at a monster. It was fine if Su Tang was looking at him with a gaze of tender adoration, but the way she was looking at a monster rendered Chen Yu speechless. Thus, he decided to just say it.    

"Anything?" Su Tang said.    

"En!" Chen Yu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Just asking. That Fifth Master behind you would definitely want to know anyway!"    

"Then I'll ask!" Su Tang's expression was joyous as she said, "What happened to Mountain Master? "I said that I wanted to take you in as my disciple, so what happens after that?"    

Coincidentally, he walked over to the stone tablet. He pointed at it and said, "The four words on it do indeed contain a sword art. I happen to know a little more about this sword art than Elder Lu. Therefore, after I barely managed to execute my sword arts, Elder Lu's emotions fluctuated greatly, and he wanted to obtain the portion of the sword arts I know of! "    

"This …" Su Tang was speechless. It sounded simple, but the simple fact contained within was enough to shock Ming Lan.    

"Don't worship me too much!" Chen Yu said proudly, "Then I will be embarrassed!"    

"You are so thick-skinned that you would feel embarrassed?" Su Tang said: "I feel more and more that Fifth Uncle asking you to come to Minglan City was the wrong decision!"    

"Ha ha!" Chen Yu laughed when he heard that.    

"Don't be too complacent, you're in big trouble!" Su Tang couldn't bear Chen Yu's complacent mood and said, "Even I am implicated by you. In the family, there will be many people who will alienate and be hostile to me!"    

Chen Yu shrugged and said, "You have your Fifth Uncle's backing, would you be scared?"    

"It's not that bad to be afraid. It's just that it's not comfortable to be looked at with a different kind of eyes!" Su Tang said.    

"Then I can't help you anymore!" Chen Yu smiled and said, "At most, I will allow you to come find me at any time. It won't be a problem to have a meal, chat, and sleep with me!"    

"Who wants you to sleep with me? Go to hell!" Su Tang's face turned slightly red, as she kicked towards Chen Yu.    

After Chen Yu calmly avoided it, he smiled and said, "Tell me, what kind of trouble will I get into?"    

"Today, your battle has made you famous, and you have to tell the entire Minglan City of your arrival!" Su Tang's expression turned serious as she said, "On Su Family side, the geniuses of the Su Family will naturally come to find trouble with you one after the other. You should be able to handle the people in the first level of Heavenly Astral Stage, Su Lieh is on the second level of Heavenly Astral Stage, and Su Jingrong is currently in closed door training. When he comes out, he should have already broken through the third level of Heavenly Astral Stage! "    

"It's just two, there aren't that many!" Chen Yu said without much concern.    

"They are going to participate in the next city war!" After all, she was a member of the Su Family, and said: "Su Lieh is twenty-three years old, Su Jingrong is only twenty-one years old, and is a true genius of Su Family younger generation, his strength is not something Su Faang can compare to!"    

Chen Yu nodded his head when he heard this. Although he did not put it to heart, but he had to admit in his heart that reaching such a level of cultivation at such an age was indeed a genius!    

The cultivation of Heavenly Astral Stage was not comparable to that of Qi Condensation Stage. Breaking through into a small realm was not easy, and one would need a huge amount of resources to support it!    

"Other than the two of them, there are a few other geniuses in the younger generation who are at the fourth, fourth, and fifth levels of Heavenly Astral Stage!" Su Tang continued, "However, they are already over 25 years old and can no longer participate in the city war. Relatively speaking, they are not that free. If they want to make a move against you, they must have the approval of the higher ups in the clan! "    

"In other words, if Su Qingfeng didn't send the experts of the older generation, he might have sent these people to kill me?" Chen Yu asked.    

Su Tang nodded and said, "If they make a move, Fifth Uncle won't be able to stop them either!"    

Chen Yu's heart immediately went cold. He was very clear about his own strength, dealing with the second level of Heavenly Astral Stage was already quite strenuous, so against a fourth or fifth level of Heavenly Astral Stage, the odds of winning were extremely slim.    

Seeing that Chen Yu's expression didn't change, Su Tang revealed a helpless expression and said, "You aren't worried at all?"    

"What's the use of worrying?" Chen Yu said, "Tell your Fifth Uncle to send an expert to protect me."    

"That's impossible!" Su Tang said: "Today, you are hostile to the entire Su Family, so Fifth Uncle cannot stand on the opposite side of the entire Su Family!"    

"This ally of his is really not helpful at all, he's too weak!" Chen Yu said helplessly.    

"Your troubles do not stop there!" Su Tang said, "And the other three families' young geniuses might come looking for trouble with you as well!"    

"Uh, no?" Chen Yu said in a speechless manner.    

"Who allowed you to be so eye-catching today?" Su Tang laughed in schadenfreude, "The Jun Family Jun Mingyi, the Yan family Yim Zifong, and the Zhan family Zhan Ruyi. These three people are geniuses from the three families that have given their all to train and prepare to participate in the next city's competition, and the more you shine, the more they will treat you as their opponent, as they will treat you as a whetstone!"    

"Grindstone?" Chen Yu laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid of the blade breaking?"    

"They are all at the second level of Heavenly Astral Stage, and their strength is on par with Su Jingrong!" Su Tang said.    

"Cultivate them for the city war!" Chen Yu smiled and said, "Su Tang, have you thought about participating in the city war?"    

"Of course I want to!" A tinge of sadness appeared on Su Tang's face as she said, "It's a pity that I haven't even broken through Heavenly Astral Stage. Participating in the city war is just a suicide or a burden to my clan!"    

"What are the chances of these four geniuses passing the city war?" Chen Yu asked.    

"It's still very uncertain. It depends on whether the luck is good or bad!" Su Tang said: "In the last ten city battles, only one person from the Minglan City have passed through the City Battle Trial and become an inner disciple of the Ruling Spirit Sect. Most of the others have fallen in the city battles, and only a few survived! These four people were considered rare geniuses in the last ten years, but they were still far inferior to the geniuses from the other cities. It is said that in the seventy-two cities under the jurisdiction of Ruling Spirit Sect, there are a few young geniuses within several large cities that are only able to break through to the fifth level of the Heavenly Astral Stage by the age of twenty-five! "    

Chen Yu's heart shivered when he heard this. The ruthlessness of this city war was even greater than what he had expected!    

On the way here, Su Tang had already explained the cruelty of the city war, but it wasn't as straightforward as this time.    

Using the strength of the third level of Heavenly Astral Stage as a reference, Chen Yu discovered that if he wanted to pass through the City Battle Trial, he still needed to increase his strength.    

Chen Yu already knew the rules of the city war. The young geniuses of the seventy-two cities all gathered together, and there were usually only ten spots for them in Minglan City, which was not as many as forty or fifty spots for some of the big cities. On this point, Minglan City was actually still at a disadvantage!    

As they chatted along the way, they had already arrived at the entrance of the small courtyard.    

Su Tang said a few more words before taking her leave.    

Chen Yu instructed Uncle Shun not to disturb him and then went into the training room to start cultivating.    

During this trip to the Martial Arts Palace, Chen Yu reaped quite a lot of rewards. Not only did he win twelve bottles of True Pills, he also won a Nirvana Spiritual Jade Pendant and the ten bottles of True Pills that Lu Yuan promised!    

Thus, Chen Yu had already gathered all the required resources to break through Ninth Layer of Qi Condensation. He could break through Ninth Layer of Qi Condensation without any obstructions within a month.
