Chapter 510: Getting to Know Ji Ruyan
"Even though I am weak, I am still a disciple of the Enforcement Hall's Investigation Division! Aren't you afraid that our Hall Master will cause you trouble?!"
Xia Yu frowned slightly after hearing Xiao Hua's words.
He stared intently at the frail girl for a long time, then looked at the still restless silver spirit worm in his palm.
boom!
Suddenly, a spirit sword flew out from Xia Yu's sleeve and stabbed straight towards Xiao Hua's body!
However, the mysterious power within Xiao Hua's body had vanished, leaving her frozen in place, unable to make any move to counter it.
The spirit sword stopped just a hair's breadth away from Xiao Hua's eyes.
When Xiao Hua saw the spirit sword that was stabbing at her stop, she gasped for breath and collapsed to the ground.
She fainted instantly.
"Was it an act, or did Su Yang's Silver Soul Insects detect something wrong...?"
He looked at Xiao Hua, who was lying unconscious on the ground; he didn't seem to have been parasitized by the Zerg...
Just then, Tang Xu and the others rushed over.
Upon seeing this, Tang Xu hurriedly stepped forward, "Peak Master!"
Xia Yu looked puzzled. "Tang Xu, who is she? Why did Su Yang's spirit insect detect the aura of the insect race on this disciple?!"
Tang Xu then slowly explained, "Peak Master, this disciple is named Xiao Hua, and she is indeed parasitized by the Zerg."
"Back then, it was Su Yang and three other disciples who discovered Xiao Hua, who was parasitized by the insect race, in the Qian Kingdom of the Mortal Realm under the jurisdiction of our Tianxu Sect. We captured him alive and brought him to the Tianxu Sect so that we could study the insect race properly."
"Initially, Xiao Hua's consciousness was completely controlled by the insectoids parasitizing her body, and her soul was gradually merging with the insectoids parasitizing her body. However, for some reason, the insectoids merged with Xiao Hua's soul but did not completely merge."
"And Xiao Hua gradually regained his humanity. Now, Xiao Hua is like a completely new individual."
“I have never seen this situation before, so I decided to let her become a disciple of my Enforcement Hall and have someone supervise her at all times to see what changes she will undergo in the future.”
"Oh? You mean after she was parasitized by the Zerg, she regained her own consciousness?!"
Tang Xu nodded slightly, "That's right."
Xia Yu pondered for a moment, "In that case, let's spare her life for now and observe her."
"If it is truly certain that she will not be disturbed by the insectoids within her, then let her be a normal disciple. But if the insectoids within her show any unusual activity, they must be eradicated completely!"
"Yes!"
the other side.
"Sister Zhang Qian, I miss Sister Su Yang so much... So many years have passed, and I haven't heard from her at all..."
Liu Erya sighed as she thought of Su Yang, who had been away from the sect for many years.
When Zhang Qian heard Liu Erya mention Su Yang, her eyes dimmed for a moment.
"Ah Yang... Didn't Tianxing Peak say she was alright? Ah Yang is so powerful, after all these years, she must have become even more powerful!"
"Sister Zhang Qian, when will we be able to see Sister Su Yang again? I miss her so much!"
"I'm already a third-tier weapon refiner! After I overcome the Heavenly Tribulation in a while, I'll be able to try refining even higher-level magical artifacts!"
"Didn't Sister Su Yang always say that she wanted to have her own flying boat someday? When she comes back, I will definitely build her one!"
Zhang Qian smiled gently upon hearing this.
"If Ah Yang knew that you had given up alchemy and started refining weapons instead, he would be shocked!"
"The first Canglan Gathering will begin in the Central Region in a few days! I have a feeling that A-Yang will definitely go!"
Liu Erya's eyes lit up. "Really?! Then we can meet Sister Su Yang!"
Zhang Qian nodded excitedly, "Yes!"
Not far from the two sisters, in an inconspicuous corner, a handsome young man dressed in green seemed to have thought of something, his eyes becoming crazed and obsessive.
"Su...Su Yang! Will you go to the Canglan Wind and Cloud Gathering?! I...I'll finally be able to see you?"
Several years have passed since we last met... I wonder how you are doing...
******
Among the seven domains of the Canglan Realm, the Central Domain is located in the very center of the Canglan Realm. It is rich in resources and spiritual energy, and its scale and area are the largest compared to the four domains of the southeast, northwest and southwest.
It is also the closest to the other six domains, hence the Central Domain is also known as the transportation hub of the Canglan Realm.
This year's Canglan Gathering is being held in Wuji City, the largest city in the Central Region.
Wuji City is also the number one city under the jurisdiction of Wuji Sect, one of the five top Daoist sects and the number one hegemon sect in the Central Region.
If this Canglan Gathering wants to open up the entire Tianyuan and accept all qualified cultivators from the Canglan Realm, the previous methods simply won't work.
Therefore, the Seven Domains decided to use the central domain of the Canglan Realm as a base, and connect the Tianyuan entrance and exit of the Demon Domain, the Five Domains, and the Demon Domain to form a huge entrance and exit above the central domain, so that all qualified cultivators can enter it.
This time, Su Yang did not use the large-scale inter-domain teleportation array of the Demon Realm to go to the Central Region, but instead crossed the Chaotic Star Sea directly from the Demon Realm to the Central Region.
With her current physical strength, the spatial turbulence in the Chaotic Star Sea cannot cause her any harm at all.
Moreover, her current speed of movement is much faster than that of a teleportation array.
The problem is that her current cultivation level is at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, so from time to time, some Void Refinement or even Integration stage sea monsters will attack her in the Chaotic Star Sea.
These siren who came to bother her were nothing.
But along the way, Su Yang was surprised to discover that some sea monsters in the Chaotic Star Sea were also parasitized by the insect race!
This discovery made Su Yang's heart sink slightly.
The Canglan Realm is similar to the Blue Star of my previous life, with land and sea roughly divided into three parts each.
The land is the Seven Domains of Canglan, while the ocean is this vast Chaotic Star Sea.
The Chaotic Star Sea is vast, and its inhabitants are countless sea monsters.
Of the sea monsters she had just killed, only one or two of the Silver Soul Insects showed signs of insectoid abnormalities.
This indicates that the Zerg have not yet fully infiltrated the Chaotic Star Sea.
After all, there are many powerful beings hidden within the Chaotic Star Sea. They must have noticed something about the Zerg's large-scale proliferation and destruction there.
But as long as the Zerg don't completely wipe them out, they will always come back.
I just don't know how long this chaotic star sea will last...
According to the original novel, the Chaotic Star Sea was completely invaded by the insect race before the Seven Domains of Canglan.
In the original story, with the combined efforts of the Zerg and Ji Ruyan, the Seven Domains of Canglan did not fall so quickly.
However, the Chaotic Star Sea was invaded by the insectoid race before the land, and with the countless sea monsters attacking from the Chaotic Star Sea, the fall of the Seven Domains of Canglan accelerated dramatically!
A fierce battle is inevitable between the Canglan Realm and the Zerg!
The more preparations we make before this great battle begins, the fewer troubles we'll face later.
Fortunately, there is no seal of the Insect Queen in the Chaotic Star Sea. As long as the Insectoids hidden in the Chaotic Star Sea are cleared out, the situation can still be salvaged.
"Elder Tree, what's the situation in the Sealed Land now? Do those Mahayana Celestial Venerables know that the Zerg have evolved to the point where the Spirit Network can no longer detect them?"
Tree Elder: "Master, I have contacted the original consciousness of the Canglan Realm. The Sealed Land should have already begun to take action."
After pondering for a moment, Su Yang asked again:
"My Silver Soul Insects can detect the presence of the Insectoid race. If I could integrate my Silver Soul Insects into the Spirit Network, would it be possible to further improve the Spirit Network and make it easier to detect the Insectoid race?"
The old tree pondered for a while, then replied:
“Master, I’m not too sure about this either. After all, I didn’t participate in the construction of the Spirit Network. I can contact the original consciousness of the Canglan Realm and have it ask the Mahayana Celestial Venerables in the Sealed Land.”
Su Yang flew over the Chaotic Star Sea for a day and a night, just as she was about to reach the Central Region.
Suddenly, the wind and waves ahead became chaotic, with countless spatial turbulences raging and rampaging.
Su Yang frowned slightly upon seeing this scene.
She then released her divine sense to investigate and quickly discovered that at the core of this dense spatial turbulence, there was a flying boat that was constantly shaking and swaying.
The flying boat's exterior shimmered with magnificent runes, and at its very center was engraved the character "姬" (Ji).
However, the protective array surrounding the airship was faintly visible, as if it would completely dissipate under the destruction of the dense spatial turbulence at any moment.
Su Yang glanced at it once and then looked away.
She is not a saint; she wouldn't kindly lend a helping hand without sufficient benefit to herself.
She immediately tried to leave, but suddenly, the spatial turbulence surrounding the flying boat surged toward Su Yang at a visible speed.
"Ow!"
Instantly, two sea monsters with peak combined strength emerged from the seabed.
Their eyes were pitch black, and they exuded an aura of decay.
They then quickly manipulated the spatial turbulence, attempting to kill Su Yang, this suddenly appearing human.
Su Yang's eyes flashed coldly, and the Silver Soul Insect stirred restlessly within her sleeve.
These two sea monsters were clearly parasitized by the insectoid race.
Su Yang has always been ruthless in killing the Zerg!
"Since you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
boom!
A spirit blade gleaming with gray spiritual light suddenly appeared in Su Yang's hand.
In an instant, countless blades of light were unleashed, instantly turning the two sea monsters parasitized by the insectoid race into dust.
These two sea monsters, parasitized by the insectoid race, were the cause of this spatial turbulence. With their deaths, the chaotic spatial turbulence gradually subsided.
The airship that had been attacked by the spatial turbulence finally stopped shaking.
Su Yang glanced at the flying boat behind her, and then made a move to leave.
"Fairy! Please wait!"
Suddenly, a voice came from inside the flying boat. Su Yang turned around and saw a kind-looking old man flying towards her.
But when the old man saw that the person who saved them was only a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, it would be a lie to say that he wasn't surprised.
Even he, a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage, dared not be arrogant enough to face the two peak Integration stage sea monsters alone, and could only hide on the flying boat and wait for rescue.
How could a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage possibly kill those two sea monsters?!
Could it be a powerful being who has concealed their true cultivation level?!
In an instant, after he had thought it through, his gaze became even more serious.
"I am Ji Mang from Feixian Tower. Thank you so much for saving us, Senior! If you hadn't dealt with those two troublemaking beasts, we would have perished here today!"
Su Yang glanced at the old man in front of her. His cultivation level was at the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm. Although his face was gentle, there was an unconscious killing intent emanating from his eyes.
It wasn't the killing intent he felt towards Su Yang, but rather the fact that he had killed too many people and his killing intent hadn't been purified by the golden light of merit like Su Yang's.
So her surname is Ji...it seems she's from the main branch of the Flying Immortal Pavilion...
"I had no intention of saving you. Those two beasts insisted on blocking my way, so I just dealt with them. Everything is fine now. You can do as you please."
When Ji Mang saw that Su Yang wanted to leave, he quickly said to Su Yang:
"Senior, stay!"
Su Yang stopped again, her eyes flashing with impatience.
"what happened again?"
Ji Mang's face showed panic, but he forced himself to calm down and said softly:
"Senior, are you planning to travel to Wuji City to attend the Canglan Gathering? Could...could you please ride with us on our flying boat to the Central Region?"
The woman in front of me is clearly not at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, but she is pretending to be at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
This made Ji Mang think of the fact that the Heavenly Abyss, which would open in a few days, stipulated that the highest cultivation level of any cultivator entering would not exceed the Nascent Soul stage.
She must want to enter the Heavenly Abyss!
Upon hearing this, Su Yang raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
"We are still some distance from the Central Region. Could you please escort us safely to the Central Region?"
"Recently, for some unknown reason, the sea monsters in the Chaotic Star Sea have been restless. Even some powerful sea monsters that are hiding in the seabed are frequently coming to the surface. I am worried that we may encounter sea monsters like the two we just saw again on this journey. Therefore, I humbly ask you to escort our group back to the Central Region."
“We are from the Ji family of Feixianlou. If you agree to escort us to the Central Region, I can make the decision to help you enter Tianyuan after returning to Feixianlou.”
A smile appeared in Su Yang's eyes, signaling him to continue.
Seeing that things were looking promising, Ji Mang knew he had guessed correctly! He quickly added:
"Based on the strength you just displayed, senior, it is clear that you have already surpassed the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. If you try to suppress your cultivation to enter the Heavenly Abyss, you will eventually be identified by the Heavenly Abyss."
"But the Ji family of Feixianlou has a secret method that can help you avoid being identified by Tianyuan."
"If you escort us to the Central Region, our Flying Immortal Pavilion will not only help you enter the Heavenly Abyss, but also give you a lot of resources as a reward."
Su Yang smiled, but instead of replying, she directly asked Ji Mang:
"You say your name is Ji Mang, so you must be a member of the Ji family, right? Let me ask you, do you know someone named Ji Ruyan?"
