Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 117 – Spirit Realm Fire

Su Yun finally understood the origin of Qiu Shuijing's grudge with Xue Qingfu. He thought to himself, "After Mr. Shuijing defeated Saint Xue, he gradually rose to a high position and became the Imperial Teacher Qiu Taichang. However, his radical political views did not please the Emperor, and he ended up being sent back to Shuofang like Saint Xue."

Qiu Shuijing and Xue Qingfu were both Shuofang people and dissatisfied with their lives, but they did not go against each other. Qiu Shuijing still believed that Xue Qingfu was trying to seize the imperial power and usurp the throne, so he was always suspicious of him.

The carriage stopped in front of the Shuofang station, and Zhou Bo went to buy tickets. After a while, Su Yun and Xue Qingfu boarded the Zhulong carriage to the Sheep City outside the Great Wall.

The land Zhulong roared and ran towards the city with its legs.

As it was near the Lunar New Year, many people were returning to their hometowns with luggage and belongings. The carriage that Su Yun and Xue Qingfu were in was also crowded with people, and they were squeezed like two salted fish against the window.

Su Yun never expected that he would be squeezed together with the Saint of Shuofang among the crowd returning home. The Saint of Shuofang was squeezed with his face against the window, his hand propping up the window sill, giving Su Yun a sense of absurdity and intimacy.

"I saw you trying to ignite the fire seed with your cultivation method just now, but it seemed difficult for you," Xue Qingfu shouted loudly to him. "This shows that there are some imperfections in your cultivation method!"

"The problem is with his knowledge!" Xue Qingfu continued to shout, "I have a disciple in the Heavenly Dao Academy who showed me the changes of the Honglu Shifting Furnace that he created. It is indeed excellent, but he lacks knowledge in the Yin-Yang Shifting. I made some minor changes to the basic heart method of Zhujian and passed it on to you. Try to cultivate it again!"

Su Yun was squeezed by the crowd and could not move. He leaned his head forward to listen, and Xue Qingfu explained the changes he made to the Honglu Shifting Furnace. "You have to comprehend it yourself!" he said.

Su Yun soon calmed down in the noisy crowd and carefully pondered the changes Xue Qingfu made.

Xue Qingfu made only a few changes, mainly in the transformation of form and qi. There are six changes in form and qi, namely, transformation, continuation, variation, migration, shedding, and transformation. Xue Qingfu extended it to "Yi" and unified the six forms of transformation of form and qi.

Su Yun was stunned. Qiu Shuijing's classification was too scattered, but Xue Qingfu unified it with Yi, not only unifying the six forms of transformation of form and qi but also allowing him to suddenly see the unity of the twelve divine beings!

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is!" he suddenly realized, and couldn't help but activate the Honglu Shifting Furnace. The elemental qi of heaven and earth rolled in from the void and formed the phantom of the twelve divine beings in the carriage behind him.

The passengers in the carriage looked around in amazement.

The twelve divine beings were formed by the elemental qi of heaven and earth and had no real bodies. They could be passed through, but strangely, they could also touch the divine beings such as Yinglong and Kaiming.

The phantom of the twelve divine beings also appeared on Su Yun's Honglu Shifting Furnace, jumping out of the furnace and gradually merging with the center along with the furnace fire.Su Yun activated the improved Honglu Shanhuan Heart Technique. One by one, Ying Long, Kai Ming, Tao Wu, Tao Tie, Qiong Qi, Xuan Wu, Qi Lin, Jin Hu, Chong Ming, Bi Fang, Kui Long, and Xie Zhi merged into each other, and his own qi and blood continued to condense in the fusion!

Gradually, a candle flame floated in the air in the Honglu furnace, burning quietly.

Outside of Su Yun's body, the shadows of the twelve divine elements of Ying Long, Xuan Wu, and Xie Zhi were still connected to Su Yun, providing him with the world's elemental energy, supporting the candle flame.

Su Yun activated the Yulin realm technique of the Honglu furnace, and the candle flame flew up, and the small flame flew into the spiritual realm!

Boom!

In Su Yun's mind, there seemed to be a huge sound of opening up the heavens and the earth, but his ears did not hear this sound. His spiritual realm changed with this sound, and the spiritual realm was like a Honglu furnace, burning fiercely!

Su Yun immediately felt that as the Yulin realm technique was running, his spiritual power began to improve!

Not only that, he felt that the power of his spiritual power technique, the Big Yellow Bell, was also constantly increasing!

The foundation-building technique improves physical fitness and elemental cultivation, while the Yulin realm technique improves spiritual power and spiritual power techniques!

He felt that his spiritual power and techniques were constantly growing stronger. One's spiritual power is the aggregation of a person's spirit and energy, while spiritual power techniques are the reflection of one's spiritual power!

The spiritual realm is like a mirror, and the spiritual power in the spiritual realm is like you in the mirror.

Your learning, understanding, and thoughts become knowledge that is deeply imprinted in your spiritual power and mind. In the spiritual realm, the spiritual power reflects this knowledge in the sky of the spiritual realm, which can turn into incredible power!

Therefore, when you cultivate the Yulin realm technique and improve your spiritual power, the power of spiritual power techniques will also continue to increase.

Su Yun focused on his practice, and when he woke up from meditation, he saw that many passengers had already left the candle dragon carriage.

There were many empty seats on the carriage, and Xue Qingfu had already sat down, using a small comb to carefully comb his beard.

Su Yun sat down, and Xue Qingfu tied up his neatly combed beard with a small red rope and said, "You can still meditate in such a noisy place. Your mental cultivation is beyond my expectations."

Su Yun thanked him and said, "If it weren't for Xue Shengren's guidance, I wouldn't have been able to cultivate so quickly..."

Xue Qingfu waved his hand and said, "I taught you because Qiu Taichang taught Bai Yuelou. I owe him a favor, so I have to repay him with a favor. I have a grudge with him, he respects me with a favor, and I repay him with a favor. When it's time to take revenge in the future, everything will be clear."

Su Yun was surprised and asked, "Do all saints pay attention to this?"

"We're almost at the Tian Shi Yuan."

Xue Qingfu stood up and said, "Going up the mountain on the candle dragon is the area of the old no-man's land. Follow me, and we will go and visit the god king who is stationed here."

"God king?"

Su Yun was full of doubts, but he saw Xue Qingfu come to the door of the candle dragon carriage, push open the door, and the cold wind whistled out. Xue Qingfu jumped out.

Su Yun hurried to the door, closed the door, and followed by jumping out.

The candle dragon on land let out a long roar, warning the demons and monsters in Tian Shi Yuan, and drove deep into the Tian Shi Yuan.Before Su Yun jumped off the back of the Candle Dragon on the land, it was still bright outside with sunlight shining down. But when he jumped off, he saw the sun sinking rapidly to the west in the sky.

As he fell, the sun also set to the west, and when he landed on the ground, the sky suddenly darkened.

Su Yun urged the Jiao Dragon's Song, and his qi and blood turned into a Jiao Dragon. The Jiao Dragon ran a few steps on the mountain and stopped, dissipating the impact of landing.

At this time, Xue Qingfu walked over and went past him: "The phenomenon you just saw is actually what we see when we step into another world."

Su Yun widened his eyes: "Another world?"

"Tian Shi Yuan is another world."

Xue Qingfu's footsteps were not fast, but his speed was fast, and he needed Su Yun to urge the qi and blood Jiao Dragon to catch up with him.

Xue Qingfu said, "The origin of Tian Shi Yuan is too ancient. It is rumored to have fallen from outside the sky and is a corner of an exotic world. Because it fell into Yuanshuo from the direction of the Tian Shi Yuan star field, it is called Tian Shi Yuan. After entering Tian Shi Yuan, time and space will tilt at a certain angle."

Su Yun was even more confused. Time and space tilted?

"Students from Tian Dao Yuan have come here to measure it. The angle of time and space tilt of Tian Shi Yuan is forty-five degrees."

Xue Qingfu said, "If you come out of Tian Shi Yuan at night, you will feel that this night is particularly long. If you enter Tian Shi Yuan at night, you will feel that this night is particularly short."

Su Yun thought about it. He left Tian Shi Yuan at night, and that night was indeed very long. In addition to experiencing the robbery of the Three Ancestors and the chaos caused by the Grey Monsters, he also experienced events such as the explosion of the You Lou.

"So, what about the people who live in Tian Shi Yuan? What changes will they have?" Su Yun asked.

Xue Qingfu stopped and observed a stone tablet, saying, "The specific changes are not clear... The Old No-Man's Land has grown a lot."

Su Yun looked at the stone tablet and saw that it was inscribed with the words "Tian Shi Yuan Boundary", but they had already entered Tian Shi Yuan for some distance.

"In other words, Tian Shi Yuan has always been growing, and the area it occupies is getting larger and larger."

Su Yun was a little puzzled. Where did the place where Tian Shi Yuan grows come from? It couldn't just grow out of thin air, right?

"Do you know why I brought you with me when I entered Tian Shi Yuan this time?" Xue Qingfu suddenly asked.

Su Yun's eyes flickered, saying: "Because Saint Xue wants to lure out the force that is chasing me, even trying to capture me."

Xue Qingfu smiled: "Now, he's here."

Su Yun's heart moved, and at this moment, a ball of thunder and fire suddenly rushed into the sky, appearing in the dim sky, and crashing into a group of mountains.

The ball of thunder and fire kept surging, and then the shadows of the mountains in Tian Shi Yuan seemed to twist and deform. A giant hidden in the darkness slowly stood up, and its big hand stretched out, reaching towards them from afar.

Xue Qingfu stood still, and suddenly a red sun leaped out of his brain, rising higher and higher, getting bigger and bigger, and the black night suddenly receded, turning into daylight!

The big hand that grabbed them was illuminated by the sunlight, and the five fingers emitted a piercing scream, shouting, "Saint Xue--"Su Yun looked over and saw countless Yan Shi puppets flying around the big hand, like bats parasitic on the big hand, and the fingers of the big hand had giant faces on them, which felt the sunlight was too bright and made sharp screams!

"Yutian General! This is the Yutian General whose arm was cut off by Doctor Dong!"

Su Yun looked at the giant and thought to himself, "He's the one who tracked me in Shuofang City and wanted to capture me."

The giant was indeed the Yutian General, covered with countless Yan Shi puppets. The Yan Shi puppets were dressed in tattered clothes and flew up with a rustling sound when exposed to the sunlight, revealing the white bones under their clothes.

The Yutian General only had one arm left and hurriedly covered his eyes with his hand, shouting, "Sage Xue, if you insist on protecting this kid, you will offend the old immortal!"

"The old immortal? Isn't the old immortal of the Tong family in the Eastern Capital?"

Xue Qingfu's face changed slightly and he turned around hastily, "Tricked! Quickly return to Shuofang City!"
