In this territory of the Yunjian Sect, he could be regarded as a formidable entity.

“It really hasn’t been easy, walking this path from the age of sixteen till now, being eliminated from the Yunjian Sect’s entrance examination, to the current age of sixty-eight — a full fifty-two years.” There was a surge of emotion within Su Yu that was difficult to put into words.

There was nostalgia, there was emotion. It seemed as though the past was a long time ago, yet there was also a feeling as though it had passed in a blink of an eye.

A moment later, Su Yu came back to his senses and softly uttered two words:

“Time.”

At that instant, a subtle change occurred in that faint, barely existing sense of the vicissitudes of life that radiated from Su Yu.

There was a slight improvement and advancement, even in his Body

Refinement Realm and the Golden Cicada Technique in the blink of an eye.

By the time Su Yu truly let the word “Time” escape from his mouth, it was already an hour later.

In his eyes, he only spoke two words, but in reality, an hour had already passed.

Su Yu shuddered, recalling the abnormal situation just now, he couldn’t help but feel shocked: “What just happened?”

Upon carefully examining his own body, his Body Refinement Realm seemed to have progressed rapidly, the proficiency level had suddenly increased from 89% to 97.68%.

Both the Green Wood Year Ring Skill and the Mysterious Earth Scripture had just recently broken through to the third layer of the Foundation

Establishment Realm. To advance to the fourth layer, it was estimated that nearly ten years would be needed.

But now, looking again, both techniques had reached a proficiency level of 18%.

That’s a sudden increase of nearly 7%.

The progression of the Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra was even more extreme. The mana greatly surged and the proficiency level rocketed from 46% to 79.11%.

Regarding the Golden Cicada Technique, the second level had reached a proficiency of 89.21%.

Su Yu felt as though his Divine Sense had undergone a kind of transformation,

his thought processing speed was faster, and the speed at which he comprehended cultivation techniques might have even increased significantly. His Divine Sense could probably be compared to the eighth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm!

“Time, could it be related to the Green Wood Year Ring Skill?” Su Yu took a deep breath, a mixture of shock and confusion filling him. This could be described as a comprehensive upgrade.

Equivalent to obtaining a great opportunity.

However, what puzzled him was: What just happened?

Why did it happen all of a sudden, just like this?

He felt the two year rings of the Green Wood Year Ring Skill in his body. In the past, he would only feel a faint sense of time from those two year rings.

But now, that sense of time seemed to have faded a lot?

He could barely feel its existence.

“So, it’s the effect of this sense.” Su Yu mused.

After completing his daily cultivation, Su Yu emerged from the secret room. He retrieved the talisman materials and second-order alchemy materials gathered by the family from Li Pingchang, turned around, and re-entered the secret room to begin drawing talismans and refining alchemy.

A few days passed in an instant.

That day, a visitor arrived at the Su Family’s Danyang Mountain on a flying boat.

Feeling the unique aura on the flying boat, Su Yu was surprised. He sprang towards the boat to greet the visitor. When Taoist Xiuyu stepped out of the flying boat, he turned to the flying boat and said, “I’ve heard of this magic artifact, the flying boat, a few times, and I’ve seen its appearance in ancient books, but it’s my first time seeing it in person.”

As he spoke, Su Yu turned to Taoist Xiuyu and said, “Welcome, Taoist Friend

Xiuyu, to Danyang Mountain.”

Upon hearing this, Taoist Xiuyu did not immediately put away the flying boat. Instead, he smiled and explained, “The flying boat is a special type of magic artifact. This one is the lowest grade, only useful for traveling. It has a second-level superior protective array, acceleration array, flying array, and so on.”

“It also has a second-level superior offensive array, but it’s not very useful.”

“It’s mainly for traveling, its speed can compare with a second-level superior beast taming.”

“Overall, compared to beast taming, each has its own advantages. After all, a

flying boat is not like a tamed beast, there is no need to feed it when it is not in use, which makes it less troublesome.”

After he finished speaking, he put away the flying boat.

The two entered Danyang Mountain, walking down through the underground lava rift passage.

While they walked, Taoist Xiuyu said, “When I left the Great Moon City, the beast chaos in the Great Moon Ridge had already begun to form. According to the estimations of the elders in my Heavenly Void Hall, this beast chaos could reach the level of a large-scale beast chaos.”

“Rellying solely on the cultivators in the Great Moon City, it would be impossible to keep them all in the Great Moon Ridge.”

“So, it is very likely that they will have to recruit cultivators from various powers to go in the future.”

Su Yu’s eyebrows furrowed. He felt a little heavy at heart and asked, “Is it that serious?”

Taoist Xiuyu sighed, “The last major beast chaos in the Great Moon Ridge recorded by my Heavenly Void Hall was over a hundred and sixty years ago, and that beast chaos lasted nearly a year.”

“A Core Formation Stage cultivator died, six pseudo-Core Formation Stage cultivators fell, and there were countless casualties in the Foundation Establishment Stage.”

“But precisely because of their desperate defense, they managed to block the beasts inside the Great Moon Ridge.”

Pausing for a moment, Taoist Xiuyu continued, “According to ancient records, over four hundred years ago during a major beast chaos in the Great Moon Ridge, they broke through the cultivators’ defense line and ran rampant in the entire Great Moon Prefecture.

“The aftermath of the loss amounted to over seven million people including mortals. The majority of them died after all, ordinary mortals basically have little chance of survival when they encounter beasts.” Hiss!

Su Yu’s pupils suddenly contracted, over seven million!

Although this figure included mortals, it was still quite frightening.

“Beasts have their own way. There are members of the Demon Clan within the Great Moon Ridge,” explained Taoist Xiuyu, “Human Cultivators would occasionally enter the Great Moon Ridge to hunt beasts, this would easily provoke the Demon Clan, leading to resentments..”
