139: C139 Surprise

C139 Surprise

A group of Dao Alliance's cultivators were standing in front of a huge palace. It was built by some wealthy people who worshipped the Dao in Free City. As people of the Dao Alliance, they saw this palace. Of course, they couldn't help but go in and take a look.

The roof of the palace was brightly lit, emitting a bright light. The red pillars in front of the door were even more dazzling, as if they were made of fresh blood. The door of the palace was also red, and it gave off a faint wood fragrance. Many passers-by carried incense sticks in their hands as they shuttled back and forth between the halls.

Su Chen quietly followed behind the Dao Gate cultivators and entered the main hall. The great hall was brightly lit and was filled with a faint scent of incense. The wooden railing was painted with red oil and there were beautiful patterns carved on it.

The peaceful atmosphere here seemed so out of place with this chaotic city. Perhaps it was because of this that so many people were willing to come here and enjoy the peace and beauty.

After passing through two courtyards with pine trees planted, the group of cultivators arrived at the main hall. Four statues made of stone were placed on the left and right sides of the grand hall. Many people really surrounded them, burning incense and kowtowing. The faint smoke emitted by the incense lingered and drifted in the air above the great hall.

Two cultivators wearing blue Daoist robes knelt in front of a statue. It was the ancestor of Three-purity Sect, Heavenly Venerate Bao Feng. The other self-cultivators also knelt in front of the other statues and kowtowed to their ancestors.

These ancestors were immortals who had ascended since a very long time ago. They were praised by the world and built temples to worship them. As their descendants and grand-disciples, these self-cultivators had an indescribable sense of pride in their hearts.

Su Chen looked at all this from afar and smiled in his heart, "So what if they are immortals who have ascended? I want to be in front of the Heavenly Dao. They can't escape the sorrow of ants. It was only natural for their descendants to kowtow to them. It was such a sincere kowtow from a mortal. It's completely useless."

He thought about it again and again, and finally sighed. "Even if it's useless, it can still bring some comfort to their hearts, so why not?"

People were all like this, no longer having faith, no psychological comfort. If they lived, they would easily lose themselves, unable to find a direction.

When the group of cultivators from the Dao Alliance finished kowtowing and left the hall, it had already been half an hour. Su Chen was not in a hurry. He slowly followed them, wanting to eavesdrop on some useful things from their mouths.

However, there seemed to be a few of them who were not weak. It was quite difficult to eavesdrop on them. Su Chen had followed them for an hour, but he still didn't get a chance to attack. Occasionally, he would hear them talking about some unimportant matters related to the sect.

After knowing that two hours had passed, Su Chen finally made some discoveries. He actually saw the expert of Three-purity Sect, Tian Feng, whom he had once defeated. There was also a young cultivator beside him. His Qi was calm and indifferent, but it was filled with pride. Tian Feng was very respectful towards him. It could be seen that his status was even higher than Tian Feng's.

Besides, there were other acquaintances here, such as Xuan Yong from the Shu Mountain. Xuan Shan was also here, and there was also a cultivator from the Red Lotus Cult wearing a red fiery Daoist robe. He had an imposing appearance and thick eyebrows. He stood quietly in a place with his eyes closed. He exuded an unfathomable aura.

"Senior disciple Tian Chong, are all of my seniors here?" A self-cultivator wearing a blue Daoist robe asked the self-cultivator beside Tian Feng respectfully.

It turned out that he was Tian Feng's senior brother, Tian Chong. In the Three-purity Sect, he was even more powerful than Tian Feng.

"Calm down, they will arrive in Free City in two days. There are ears on the wall, let's talk somewhere else." Tian Chong said faintly, his eyes looking towards the corner where Su Chen was hiding.

Su Chen was startled. This person's strength was too incredible. He had only used his hair to send out a little bit of spiritual knowledge, but he had already seen through it.

With an expert present, he knew that he wouldn't be able to find anything today. He could only leave this place. However, it wasn't as if he didn't find anything. At least, he knew that many cultivators from the Dao Alliance would gather in the Free City.

It was already late at night. Su Chen decided to return to the inn first and find an opportunity to continue his investigation. However, he encountered a group of Buddhist cultivators along the way. He could recognize them from their white robes that they were monks from the Buddhist Temple.

The group of monks soon entered a remote monastery. It wasn't a big monastery, but there were a lot of people in it. There were also many believers of the Buddhist Sect in Immortal God Continent.

"Hehe, Free City has been very lively these few days! There were so many cultivators from the big sects that rarely appeared in the continent. Our Blue Snow Academy can't keep such a low profile. Call a few experts to compete with those cultivators' Elementalist. Don't let them look down on our Blue Snow Academy." On the way, a young man said with excitement.

"Hehe, I also hope to see such a competition, but it doesn't seem to be possible now. We still don't know the purpose of these people coming here. Without the permission of the school, we can't make arbitrary decisions." Another person said.

"That's true. A while ago, when we were exploring the Devil City of Terror, Dao Alliance and all the major sects had suffered great losses. Their vitality was greatly damaged. If we, the Blue Snow Academy, challenge them, we will be labeled as taking advantage of their situation even if we win."

"Let's go, let's go back to the academy. I heard that one of the four beauties of the academy, Ice God Hua Yue, likes to go out late at night. Perhaps we can meet her!"

"You can think of it. She's just a pervert." The scene was filled with noise.

Su Chen had been listening from the side. He had seen the power of several experts from the Blue Snow Academy. He would never doubt that their academy had students who could compete with the young experts of the big sects.

"I also want to go to the Blue Snow Academy to take a look if I have the chance." Su Chen thought to himself.

The cold moon hung in the sky like a hook, emitting a faint light. It was midnight when Su Chen returned to the hotel. When he found that Huang Qing had not returned yet, he could not help but feel worried.

He did not know when, but Su Chen had an inexplicable feeling for Huang Qing. The two of them were like good friends, and many topics were the same. They could also freely talk about life. To Su Chen, Huang Qing might be the first person in Immortal God Continent to truly understand him.

"I wonder how Qinger is doing! She is so powerful and intelligent. She will definitely be fine." Su Chen looked up at the bright moonlight and calmed down after a while. He sat cross-legged on the comfortable and soft bed and began to practice.1

After half a month, the injuries in Su Chen's body had recovered a lot, and he had already started to recover to the Mid Yellow Rank. Soon, he would be able to recover to his peak condition, and perhaps even surpass his original self, reaching a whole new level.

The transformation technique in the Heavenly Dao Records could temporarily change the direction of the muscles on a person's face. A different face would be born, and Su Chen could at least change his appearance by four or five different appearances. It was very difficult to see his true appearance. This skill was very useful in detecting secrets and concealing one's identity.

Up until now, Su Chen had already learned almost all of the techniques in the human scroll. Among them was the Black Tortoise Sword in the Square Divine Sword, the Phoenix Sword. The Dragon, Yan, Die, Bull in the Beast Walk Nine-step. The Monkey, Tiger Six Steps had not been used until now.

The Law of Transforming Face Technique was one of the escape techniques. He had learned the Wood Shield Technique. Earth Escape Technique and Wind Escape Technique. It was just like the Wind Elemental Transference Technique. He could rely on the wind to escape, but the distance to escape wasn't too far. And it would take some time, so it couldn't be used for emergency escape. Of course, this kind of emergency was relative. To fight against an expert... The moves were too fast, so he couldn't use Wind Escape to avoid them.

As for the Earth Scroll in the Heavenly Dao Record, although Su Chen had obtained half of it, Su Chen's current strength... It was too difficult for him to use these techniques. He had only used the other Light of Destruction, but it had already consumed half of his energy. Although he had learned the remaining two techniques, he still hadn't had the chance to use them.

The Myriad Living Spell hadn't changed much even until now, but when he used it... Images of the elves covered in mist appeared in his mind. He held the bottle of the elves in his hand. The mysterious bone dragon, the demon king that was bound by chains. He couldn't even see their faces clearly.

Where exactly was the second half of the 'Heavenly Dao Record' hidden? The world was so big that Su Chen didn't even have a clue about it. If he didn't have an opportunity, he might not be able to find them in this lifetime.

However, the first half of the 'Heavenly Dao Record' was given to him by the Goddess who had transformed into the Rouxue. There might be some clues about her. It had been two months since Su Chen last saw the Rouxue. Suddenly, he felt a sense of longing in his heart. He secretly used his divine sense to enter the Spatial Ring.

The Spatial Ring was given to Su Chen by Black Snake Old Ancestor. It was a very unique ring because there was a space inside that could allow living beings to live. This was a function that other Spatial Ring did not have.

Although this space wasn't big, less than a mile in width, there were spiritual herbs growing in it, and the immortal Qi was dense. The Rainbow Divine Light was constantly flickering. Apart from a small part of the space that Su Chen used to store dead things, the rest was left for the Rouxue to cultivate.

Through the layers of immortal Qi, Su Chen saw the Rouxue that he hadn't seen for a long time. She was lying in a pile of spirit herbs, her eyes tightly shut. Her delicate body was shining with seven colors of light. That was the spiritual Qi emitted by the Dragon Essence Grass. Two months had passed, but the spiritual energy was still leaking. It wasn't completely absorbed by the Rouxue, but what surprised Su Chen was that it wasn't completely absorbed by the Rouxue. Yes, the outer layer of the Rouxue had changed from snow white to fiery red. It was burning like a flame. Finally, it turned from fiery red to golden yellow. It was like a golden cloud, extremely bright and beautiful.

Could it be that she was undergoing a transformation? Su Chen was pleasantly surprised. The metamorphosis meant that the Rouxue's strength had increased. A portion of the sealed memories and divine abilities might be activated.
