Chapter 99: A Name that Shakes Heaven and Earth
nt of displeasure in his words.Just like Xia Mang's strength, it left him somewhat disappointed."That's good."Xia Mang had also stopped his movements at this time. He stood in front of Su Xin, not far..."Master Situ, you are a respected Nirvana realm expert. To attack a mere Void Core mid-stage disciple is beneath your status."
A middle-aged man with purple hair stood with his hands behind his back, letting out a hearty laugh. He didn't emit any aura fluctuations, yet just by standing there, the entire world seemed to revolve around him.
"Qingzhou's Prefect, Yi Changkong" Situ Bole's face changed slightly.
In the Heavenly Flame Empire's thirty-six states, there are thirty-six state governors. Most of these thirty-six governors are at the peak of the Void Breaking realm, but some states have governors who are strong cultivators at the Nirvana realm.
Like Qingzhou, as one of the most prosperous state capitals in the Heavenly Flame Empire, the governor of Qingzhou, Yi Changkong, is a genuine Nirvana Realm expert.
Furthermore, this is easy to cultivate and originates from the Heavenly Inferno Palace.
"Su Xin, are you alright" Yi Changkong turned his head to glance at Su Xin.
"Junior brother" Su Xin was startled.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Yi Changkong, just like you, I am also a disciple of Tiangyan Palace. However, over twenty years ago, I had already completed the graduation assessment. Now, I serve as the governor of Qingzhou, Yi Changkong.
"I've seen Master Yi, don't worry, I'm just slightly injured, nothing serious." Su Xin hurriedly bowed, his heart filled with admiration.
Tianshan Palace, as the cultivation holy land of the Heavenly Flame Dynasty, has cultivated countless geniuses. Many of these geniuses have eventually broken through to the Nirvana Realm, becoming the top figures in the Heavenly Flame Dynasty. Senior Brother Yi is clearly one of them.
"Master Si Tu Bo Lei, how dare you injure my junior brother" Yi Chang Kong gave Master Si Tu Bo Lei a cold look.
“Humph, your disciple killed a guest of my Situ family right in front of me. I merely punished him slightly, which was already very courteous. Yi Changkong, if you want to stand up for your disciple... wait a while, when my ancestor returns, you can always request a lesson!” Situ Borei said coldly.
"Oh, scaring me with that old geezer Situ Feng" Yi Changkong's eyes were cold, carrying a hint of ferocity.
The ancestor of the Situ family, Situ Feng, had already broken through to the Nirvana realm over a hundred years ago. His strength in the Nirvana realm was also considered quite strong, slightly stronger than Yi Changkong. However, if they truly fought, Yi Changkong would not be afraid.
"Easy, brother. Let's call it a day today. As for the Situ family, your junior brother will settle the score with them later," Su Xindao said.
"Alright, since you put it that way, I'll let this Situ Yi Changkong off for now." Yi Changkong nodded. "Brother, let's go."
They immediately swept towards an empty space on the side.
Sipu Bole could only watch helplessly as Su Xin left.
"Su Xin, this young master of the Su family, what means did he just use"
Si Tu Bo Lei frowned, recalling Su Xin's just-displayed attack methods...
That kind of attack was unique and eerie. Even he, under such an assault, experienced a certain degree of influence, his consciousness momentarily faltering.
Although he recovered immediately, Su Xin still found an opportunity and struck him with his sword, sending his figure sinking. He then took the chance to kill Nie Jiuyou.
“At only the middle stage of Void Breaking cultivation, he is already this accomplished. The special techniques he uses can even affect me. If we let him grow unchecked, he will definitely become a major threat to our Situ family in the future,” Situ Bore murmured.
Though he wished to kill Su Xin, he dared not take the life of a disciple of Tianyan Palace within the borders of the Heavenly Flame Empire.
"We can only wait for the ancestor to return and then make a long-term plan," Situ Bole thought secretly.
But at this time…
"Sithu Baili, wash your neck clean and wait there nicely!"
"When the young master sets foot in the Situ residence again, it will be the day your entire Situ family is wiped out!"
"Haha~~~"
A burst of hearty laughter suddenly came from the void ahead, the direction Su Xin had left in, resounding throughout the heavens and earth.
Master Situ's face turned ashen, and he looked incredibly grim.
……
The scene above the Si family mansion was witnessed by many powerful individuals hidden in the shadows, who immediately spread the news to all factions and sects within the Tianyan Imperial Dynasty.
And upon learning the results, these powerful factions and sects, including many top-tier experts within the Heavenly Flame Imperial Dynasty, were all shocked.
Tianyan Imperial City, within a beautiful manor.
"Haha, this kid, he's only at the middle stage of Void Breaking, yet he dared to kill a powerful enemy who was invincible in the Void Breaking realm. He even chased him for three days and three nights, traversing all over the nine states, finally killing Nie Jiuyou right in front of the newly promoted Nirvana Realm Master Situ Bore!"
"What a great strategy, what guts!"
"As expected of me, I've always regarded you as a peerless genius. You truly live up to my expectations."
A gray-clad middle-aged man named Ge Meng, holding a fishing rod and fishing there, was grinning triumphantly.
From the very beginning, when Su Xin was still a fledgling cultivator, he saw potential in Su Xin's talent and bestowed upon him kindness. He has consistently kept an eye on Su Xin's growth ever since.
The stronger his faith, the more brilliant his performance, proving that his initial vision was even higher, and he felt even happier.
……
At the very top of a storeroom in the deepest part of an ancient sect, an arrogant old man had been sitting cross-legged for years.
But today, this defiant old man opened his eyes.
"Nie Jiuyou, is she dead"
"Back then, I had tried to kill him twice, but both attempts failed. Never did I expect that he would end up dying at the hands of a cultivator in the early stage of Void Breaking."
"Su Xin... you killed Nie Jiuyou, avenging my disciple. You've done a favor for me."
He muttered a few words, and the defiant old man closed his eyes once more.
……
Within the Tianyan Imperial Dynasty's territory, an ordinary town.
During the Void-Breaking Mid Stage, he was able to kill a Void-Breaking invincible expert, and even in front of a Nirvana Realm expert's obstruction, he directly killed him.
A stunning woman with long, azure hair sat quietly in a tavern, sipping her drink, but her mind was lost in deep contemplation.
"According to intelligence, this Su Xin is only twenty-one years old this year. Last year, he had just passed the hunt of the Tianyan Imperial Dynasty and entered the Tianyan Palace to cultivate. In such a short period of cultivation, he has already possessed such remarkable strength..."
“It seems I should put him on the list of candidates for observation. If he can maintain this progress, maybe my Jiusheng Mountain will have another prodigy who can be absorbed into the core layer at the Breaking Void Realm.”
……
Su Xin's pursuit of Nie Jiuyou was a huge affair, attracting the attention of all the top forces and powerful individuals in the Tianyan Imperial Dynasty.
When the final results came out, everyone was utterly astonished.
No one expected that Su Xin would actually be able to kill Nie Jiuyou, and he did so under the protection of Situ Bolei, a powerful being in the Nirvana realm. He directly forced back Situ Bolei and then killed Nie Jiuyou.
And Su Xin's name once again echoed throughout the entire Tianyan Imperial Dynasty.
But this time it's different from the imperial hunt.
As the victor of the Imperial Hunt, Su Xin naturally rose to fame. However, at that time, in the eyes of many top powers and strong figures, Su Xin was merely a young cultivator at the Sea Transformation Realm. He was simply gifted.
This time, Su Xin rose to fame once again. But many people no longer just saw him as a genius, but as a true powerhouse.
He has already touched the threshold of the Heavenly Flame Imperial Dynasty, the limit of top-tier power!
……
The border of Qingzhou.
"Su Xin, my fellow disciples, I'll send you here. Yi Changkong said."
Thank you, Master Yi and Brother Su for your kindness.
"Don't be so polite, things got a bit out of hand this time. The palace masters of Tiangyan Palace are all waiting to see you. I won't keep you any longer. When you have some free time, come to Qingzhou and we can get together properly." Yi Changkong smiled warmly and very friendly.
His enthusiasm wasn't just because Su Xin was a disciple of Tianyan Palace, but because he was his junior brother.
Most importantly, Su Xin's potential is truly enormous.
Of course, Yi Changkong was willing to be friends with such a talented and promising prodigy.
"I bet Su Xin is laughing, too."
After leaving Qingzhou, Su Xin did not immediately return to Tiangong Palace. Instead, he found a secluded place to rest and recover his injuries and spiritual power.
He wasn't seriously injured, he just swallowed a few pills and, after a slight recuperation, was back to his peak.
And then, Su Xin began to examine his spoils of war, which was Nie Jiuyou's Universe Ring.
Nie Jiuyou, as an invincible expert in the Breaking Void Realm and the master of the Nine Nether Mansion, is also extremely greedy by nature. He often secretly plunders resources from various forces and sects.
When the Su family was in danger, Nie Jiuyou took advantage of the situation and looted most of the Su family's resources.
Now that he is dead, the Qiankun ring he left behind...
Good fellow
Su Xin had only just probed a little, and was frightened away.
Within this乾坤戒, there are all sorts of resources and treasures, simply too numerous to count, piled high like mountains. Although most aren't exceptionally valuable, many are quite ordinary, only helpful for cultivators at the 真武境 and 化海境 stages. However, the key is that there's a vast quantity.
"My Su family, if we want to rise again, we have to start by changing from the most basic clan disciples. These cultivation resources will be of great use to my Su family." Su Xin's eyes flickered with a strange light.
Besides these common resources, Nie Jiuyou's Qiankun Ring is not without genuine treasures.
For example, treasures like these. Nie Jiuyou left behind quite a few, including even high-grade treasures, with as many as two!
There are also some top-grade elixirs, secret manuals, and many rare treasures, all of which are extremely valuable.
Su Xin was still in a corner of the Qiankun Ring, and saw thousands upon thousands of special crystals emitting a milky white light.
"Is this a crystal"
Su Xin took out a crystal stone and immediately felt an incredibly pure energy from within it.
Crystals of Origin, used by Nirvana Realm cultivators to restore their spiritual energy. They have a wide range of uses and are even used as currency by many Nirvana Realm cultivators.
Over a thousand yuan crystals, for Nirvana Realm experts, would also be a considerable fortune.
Thousands of Yuan Crystals, several mystical treasures, as well as numerous pills, secret manuals, heavenly and earthly treasures, and a massive amount of ordinary-level cultivation resources. All of these combined, in terms of value, probably wouldn't be much less than the fortune of a Nirvana Realm expert. Su Xin was secretly delighted.
This Nie Jiuyou is truly as greedy and plundering as rumored, a formidable Void-Shattering powerhouse. His wealth isn't much less than that of a Nirvana Realm expert.
This was still him replenishing his consumed qi and blood, his lifespan, by consuming a large amount of resources himself. This included several times when he was hunted by Nirvana Realm powerhouses, and he had to ask some strong individuals for help at a great cost.
Otherwise, his fortune would be even greater.
Su Xin carefully searched all around, but he was unable to find the cultivation method for the Blood Escape Secret Art.
That blood escape technique is very unique. If Su Xin could obtain it, his life-saving methods would be greatly enhanced, but unfortunately, he couldn't find it.
After Su Xin had finished inventorying all the treasures left behind by Nie Jiuyou, he set off to return to Tianyan Palace.
By the time he returned to Tianyan Palace, two days had already passed.
……ly pulled apart.This person's sword intent comprehension is so high, it surpasses even mine!At the beginning, Xiao Chen didn't take Su Xin seriously. However, at this moment, he was staring intently a...
