Chapter 483: 151 Fourth Layer Golden Cicada Method, Spirit Soul Transformation (10K Requests for Monthly Tickets)_6
Half a month later.
Su Yu and Taoist Qingquan left the Stone Axe Market together.
They were on their way to the market where Luo Qianyu resided.
Taoist Qingquan kept her beautiful eyes on Su Yu for a long time. Only after Su Yu relented and looked back at her did she respond with a sweet smile. “Would you be interested in accompanying me to guard a place?” she asked.
“Given your cultivation and formation level, brother, if we were to guard a place together, it would undoubtedly be solid and secure. Nothing would go wrong,” she assured him.
“Not interested.”
Su Yu, sensing that she had more to say, waved a dismissive hand and said, “I plan to remain in the Inner Sect for cultivation until I reach the ninth level of Core Formation Realm. We can talk about the future when it comes.”
His strength could surely improve, and it wasn’t necessary to take risks by venturing out.
The market where Luo Qianyu resided was not too far. In recent times, there had been no disturbances.
After staying there for a day, Su Yu and Taoist Qingquan visited Luo Qianyu and left the following day to return to the Di Xian Mansion.
During this trip, each person, including Su Yu and Taoist Qingquan, received one thousand contribution points from the sect.
Subsequently, Su Yu returned to his seclusion at the Dayu Peak for cultivation.
However, less than half a month after his return Luo Qianyu contacted him via a token for the first time.
“An unknown cultivator of the ninth level of Core Formation Realm attempted to ambush me yesterday. Thanks to the tier-three talisman that you gave me, I was able to counterattack and severely injure him.”
“However, I can’t help but feel that his aura seemed somewhat familiar…”
Su Yu had just finished his daily cultivation when he received the message from Luo Qianyu. The news shocked him. He urged, “A ninth level Core Formation cultivator? Ambushed you? Are you injured?”
Luo Qianyu replied, “No injuries.”
After hearing that, Su Yu let out a sigh of relief. “That’s good to hear. You said you found the person’s energy familiar?”
Luo Qianyu hummed in agreement. “Too bad I didn’t manage to capture him, otherwise I would know for sure.”
After pondering for a moment, Su Yu asked, “Could it be someone from your faction, the You Jian Peak?”
Luo Qianyu kept silent for a while before saying, “Perhaps, it might be our faction’s eldest brother.”
Su Yu was taken aback, then his expression darkened. “Why would he target you?”
Luo Qianyu responded, “I’m merely speculating. When I trapped him using the talisman, he began to panic. It was during my counterattack that I felt a hint of his familiar aura.”
She paused before adding, “Though I have to admit, it could be a figment of my imagination.”
Su Yu took a few moments to think, then asked, “Assuming he indeed was the one, why would he lay an ambush in your market? Is there a feud? Or is he attracted to your beauty? Or could there be reasons unknown to us?”
Luo Qianyu sneered quietly, “What nonsense about attraction, I have yet to see you show such leanings… forget about it, I told you all this to make you more cautious. You didn’t join any sect or power before; you must be aware, even within the same sect, not all hearts beat as one.”
“There are all sorts of people in the Di Xian Mansion; don’t trust everyone.”
“Oh, do remember to bring some fine wine when you come to see me next time; I’ve developed a craving for it.”
After saying that, Luo Qianyu ended the communication.
Su Yu: “…”
A moment later, Su Yu frowned. Who was the eldest brother disciple of You Jian Peak? He summoned Taixu from the Magic Artifact Palace to ask.
“Chirp chirp chirp.” Taixu used its wings to draw a figure on the ground, pointing at the figure and chirping several times, indicating it was him.
Through their soul connection, it passed on all the information it knew about the senior disciple of You Jian Peak to Su Yu.
“The senior disciple of You Jian Peak, An Changrong, alias Taoist Changrong, is at the ninth level of Core Formation Realm and at the first level of the Golden Core…..” An icy light glittered in Su Yu’s eyes as he waved at Taixu, “Go and find out where he is.”
Half a day later.
Taixu returned from gathering intel.
“Chirp chirp chirp.”
Su Yu listened to Taixu’s report, his gaze hardening. “He left the sect over half a year ago and received a few bounty tasks from the Punishment Hall to handle? And has not returned since then?”
Considering this, the suspicions concerning him became greater.
He conveyed this information to Luo Qianyu through the token and warned her to be careful. If the situation escalates, she should return to the sect; there was no need to hurry in gaining experience.
As the senior disciple of You Jian Peak was not around, all Su Yu could do for now was to continue his isolation and training. But he did order Taixu to secretly monitor the situation of You Jian Peak.
At Dayu Peak.
Every day, Su Yu practiced the Five Elements Method, the Upper Pure Primordial Dao Law, the Celestial Body Refinement Realm, and the Golden Cicada Method, while also dabbling in the Time Dao Cicada Pupa and the Split Heaven Divine Art.
The rest of his time was spent learning Alchemy, Talisman Technique, and Formation under the tutelage of his master, Taoist Tianyu.
Time slipped away like quicksilver, and three years passed.
Inside the stone cave dwelling.
Su Yu was seated cross-legged on a jade bed, his mind rotating the Golden Cicada Method. A brilliant golden glow illuminated his entire body while occasionally, the five elements materialized around him. The strands of Dao charm emanating from him solidified the air around him, letting off a dreadful Immortal Aura.
While he was practicing the Golden Cicada Method, he was also contemplating the Upper Pure Primordial Dao Law.
“Huff huff huff!”
With the rotation of the Upper Pure Primordial Dao Law, nature’s spiritual energy was absorbed and refined into incredibly pure Five Elements Mana by Su Yu’s body.
Concurrently, as this Five Elements Mana infused into the Golden Core within Su Yu’s Dantian, a sixth Dao line phantom appeared on Su Yu’s Golden Core.
Under the tempering of the Upper Pure Primordial Dao Law, Su Yu’s golden core was slowly metamorphosing towards a sixth rank Golden Core.
Looking at his Proficiency Panel once more.
The proficiency level of the third layer of the Golden Cicada Method had already reached 99.99%.
A short time later.
On the Proficiency Panel, the words behind the Golden Cicada Method quietly changed: [Cultivation Technique: Golden Cicada Method (Fourth Layer, proficiency 0.01%)].
“Hum!”
All of a sudden.
Su Yu’s aura underwent a drastic transformation. In his mind, his divine soul, originally manifested in the form of a two-winged young cicada, was now enveloped in a dazzling, golden light. An overwhelming divine soul aura erupted like a cicada pupa, encasing Su Yu’s soul within.
In the heavens and earth, threads of cooling aura suddenly emerged, flowing into Su Yu’s mind and into his soul, which had transformed into a cicada pupa.
As this aura from the heavens and earth made its presence, Su Yu’s soul power began to metamorphose.
This metamorphosis took almost three months.
When the aura from the heavens and earth returned to silence.
Inside Su Yu’s mind, the cicada pupa that was originally enveloping Su Yu’s soul started to shed, revealing a two-winged golden cicada that had grown considerably. The shed shell transformed into strands of golden radiance which integrate into the two-winged golden cicada’s body.
The next moment, the body of the two-winged golden cicada seemed to turn from illusion to reality. Its eyes abruptly opened, releasing two cold, golden rays of light.
Through the Divine Sea, the two-winged golden cicada seemed to scrutinize everything in the outside world.
It was an entirely different kind of vision.
He tried looking at his master, Taoist Tianyu, in the courtyard.
Under the scorching sun, Taoist Tianyu was hoeing his spiritual field. The two-winged golden cicada observed Taoist Tianyu for a while, but Taoist Tianyu seemed to remain oblivious to it.
Then, the two-winged cicada set its gaze on the Gloomy Blade Peak, and everything on the peak, even as small as dust, was reflected clearly into his eyes.
The moment Su Yu withdrew his soul vision, he was utterly astounded.
The Golden Cicada Method had broken through to the fourth layer, and his soul had undergone another transformation. The two-winged golden cicada he had become had obtained such a divine skill!
Such scrutiny, neither his master nor the Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Gloomy Blade Peak could detect!
After sensing his own soul power again, the fourth-layer Golden Cicada Method had made his soul power as vast as an ocean, an indescribable divine energy permeating the air.
Even with the third layer of the Celestial Body Refinement Technique, he felt an extremely heavy pressure.
It seemed that his body was about to be unable to withstand the power of his own soul!
At that moment, relying on his own soul power, Su Yu felt that he could control the mighty heavenly earthly power around him at will. He believed that the overwhelming power of the heaven and earth could not be borne by an ordinary Core Formation realm nine-layer cultivator!
This feeling made him somewhat intoxicated, and a joy from his heart was overwhelming for Su Yu.
“My soul power has metamorphosed, and the Golden Cicada Method has broken through the fourth layer.”
“With my current soul power, even if I don’t use the Golden Cicada Secret Technique, those old True Men of the Core Formation Realm’s ninth layer would be unable to resist.”
“Even, they might mistake me for a true Nascent Soul True Monarch.”
Su Yu slowly exhaled a breath, suppressing his excited feelings.
Golden Cicada Method’s fourth layer—
He was only a cultivation technique and refining of a Golden Core away from the Nascent Soul Realm!
