One person established a clan

Chapter 322 Flying
Upon hearing the conversation, the old woman in the black robe showed a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Could it be that the Netherworld within the Five Desolate Domains is different?"

Su Cheng nodded in agreement, then asked curiously, "Since there is no Netherworld in the outside world, how did you recognize the aura of the Netherworld, senior?"

"Young benefactor, you are unaware of the following."

The old woman in the black robe chuckled and shook her head: "This aura of the underworld is extremely rare in all regions. Only those who have walked between life and death will have a trace of it on their bodies."

Even a trace of that aura is an extraordinary stroke of luck for a cultivator, making them a true prodigy.

She looked at Su Cheng with amazement: "I have never heard of anyone like you, young benefactor, whose entire body is overflowing with the aura of the underworld."

"Not only foreign cultivators, but even I was startled when I first saw them."

Fan You clicked his tongue inside the sword and said, "With such a rich aura of the underworld, I would believe it if you said it was an incarnation of the underworld."

"what?"

The old woman in the black robe's eyes brightened slightly, clearly sensing the presence of the Ten Heavens Sword and its spirit.

When she looked at Su Cheng again, her eyes held a hint of expectation.

"I don't know what changes have occurred in the Five Desolate Domain over the past few thousand years, but before the Five Desolate Tribulation Emperor sealed the domain, many immortal clans within it were the secret agents of the various domains."

Young benefactor, when you venture out into the world in the future, you must not be careless.

At this point, her figure suddenly became somewhat blurred.

Su Cheng immediately snapped out of his daze and asked in surprise, "Senior, what's going on?"

"My time has come."

The old woman in the black robe smiled with emotion: "Young benefactor, you must pass the test and properly inherit our clan's lineage."

Before she finished speaking, she had already turned into a wisp of green smoke and vanished without a trace.

"."

Su Cheng's expression hardened slightly, and he silently bowed and took his leave.

After a brief silence in the peach orchard, Fan You broke the stillness with his voice.

“Back then, your mother also paid attention to that underworld.”

She paused slightly before speaking: "After testing her, she said that the Lord of the Underworld is extremely pure and true, and is one of the incarnations of the Heavenly Dao, and has his own reason for existence."

But from what you just said, the Underworld has already been overthrown?

“That’s right.” Su Cheng nodded slightly. “Even the former Lord of the Underworld has died and vanished, leaving only his legacy behind.”

"Then why do you care so much?"

“My Daoist partner has received the complete inheritance and become the new Lord of the Underworld. How could I not care?”

"."

Fan You remained silent for a moment, then suddenly muttered strangely, "You even dare to lay a finger on the incarnation of the underworld, you're really something."

Su Cheng smiled slightly and casually patted the Ten Heavens Sword on his back.

"Isn't the senior here to lend me a hand now?"

"you"

Fan You hesitated, then secretly grinned.

This kid seems to be deliberately flirting with her.
"The most urgent task is still the inheritance of the Seven Star Immortal Sect."

Su Cheng steadied himself, turned his head to look at the mysterious light screen not far away, and continued forward with the puppet in his arms.

Approaching within a few feet, the key in his hand suddenly heated up and flew into the light barrier on its own, instantly splitting into thousands of golden and silver threads—

Click!

The light curtain split and dissipated in response, and the spiritual energy gathered and condensed, transforming into a towering stone staircase leading to the summit.

"It is heavily restricted."

Shi Xuan focused his attention and observed carefully: "As you ascend the steps, the power of the restrictions will gradually increase. If you can withstand them all, you can reach the top."

Su Cheng smiled and said, "It's a simple and straightforward method of testing."

"After all, it is a trial for the younger generation, not a life-or-death enemy."

Shi Xuan smiled and said, "But we can't be too lax either."

“Of course.” Su Cheng slowly stepped onto the towering staircase.

Just as they passed the first few steps, wind and thunder began to gather around them, rumbling and flashing incessantly.

"Huh"

Fan You smiled knowingly: "The Seven Star Immortal Clan is quite clever. They actually used mystical techniques to simulate heavenly lightning, intending to have you undergo the baptism of lightning and fire all the way to the top."

She then asked with great interest, "Young man, would you like me to lend you another hand?"

"No need for now."

Su Cheng seemed not to hear, pulling the puppet up the steps without stopping for a moment.

Fan You secretly grimaced as he watched from the shadows.

This kid is a bit arrogant and complacent. Even if he has power comparable to the Void Profound Realm, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand the heavenly lightning crashing down on him all the way.
Boom!

A bolt of azure lightning tore through the void and instantly struck Su Cheng, exploding into fine lightning.

Fan You frowned inwardly and clicked his tongue. "He really was stupid enough to take the lightning strike head-on." The Ten Heavens Sword trembled slightly, its sword intent stirring.

But before she could make a move, the mighty heavenly lightning instantly dissipated, transforming into pure spiritual energy that gushed into Su Cheng's body.

".ha?"

Fan You was immediately taken aback.

Although she knew that Su Cheng had some strange methods, such as being able to absorb the spiritual energy from living beings and use it for his own purposes.

But how could it possibly devour such heavenly lightning?

boom! boom! boom!
Su Cheng ascended the steps calmly, facing the thunderous roar of the sky.

Although the commotion was grand, it felt like a mere tickle to Fan You.

"You are more than ten times more monstrous than your mother."

"Senior is so complimentary."

With a flick of his sleeve, Su Cheng dismantled several profound restrictions in front of him, and spiritual energy flowed into his palm.

Before long, he safely passed all the trials and stood firmly atop the immortal mountain.

The road to heaven behind them disappeared with the wind, and the white mist in front gradually dissipated, revealing a strange stone like purple jade floating in the air.

Countless purple spiritual threads spread out from it, penetrating deep into the mountain, pulsating in unison as if with a heartbeat.

But in the eyes of Su Cheng and the others, this contained an incredibly terrifying aura!

[Detected 'Seven-Star Realm True Vein,' a Void-Grade Spiritual Vein (Perfect)]

[Detected 'Seven Star Inheritance' (Complete)]

To absorb this spiritual energy, one must cultivate both spiritual energy and physical energy.

"No wonder this immortal kingdom has stood for thousands of years without collapsing, and its spiritual energy is still so abundant."

Su Cheng couldn't help but show a look of amazement. "So it contains a spiritual vein of this high grade!"

He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a strange long spear stuck in a crevice next to the amethyst.

[Fragment of the Heavenly Jade, a Void-grade spiritual material (perfected)] [Contains the immortal essence of the Creation Realm, usable for cultivation and as a material for forging]

"This item is an extremely rare treasure."

Shi Xuan murmured quietly, "Even within the vast Eastern Prefecture, this is a treasure of unparalleled value. It must be used with care."

Su Cheng nodded in understanding, his gaze returning to the amethyst of the spiritual vein.

"First extract the spiritual veins, then absorb the inheritance."

He said in a slightly solemn tone, "Xuan'er, we need you to work together."

Before the words were even finished, Shi Xuan appeared beside him, his jade-like face solemn. "Such terrifying spiritual energy, indeed, cannot be dealt with by one's own strength alone, hmm?"

She suddenly paused, looking over in surprise: "W-Could it be that we're going to be here?"

"It seems there is no other way."

"."

Shi Xuan's cheeks flushed instantly, and a shy expression flickered between her brows.

She couldn't help but glance at the Ten Heavens Sword, hesitating to speak. If it were just dual cultivation, it would be fine, but with this senior watching over them...
"I know what you're up to."

With a flash of light, Fan You transformed back into a sword spirit and gently landed on a rock not far away.

She reclined languidly on her side, resting her chin on her hand, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. "Rest assured, I am not a rigid or old-fashioned person. The path of dual cultivation is in accordance with the natural order; what is wrong with it?"

Shi Xuan blushed, pursed her lips, and lowered her head in agreement.

She immediately exchanged a glance with Su Cheng, then pulled the puppet to sit cross-legged with him.

"."

Hearing the rustling sounds behind him, Fan You's smile deepened.

This kid is indeed skilled and resourceful. But even with the dual cultivation method, refining such a massive amount of spiritual energy and inheritance is by no means an easy task.

"I am, after all, an elder; I can't just stand by and watch the whole way."

She secretly plotted. "If those two encounter difficulties later, I'll offer some guidance and help them refine it, eh?"

But at that moment, the commotion behind them suddenly intensified.

Fan You blinked, still bewildered, when a spiritual wind howled behind her, followed by increasingly melodious and alluring low moans.

"That kid's so fast, he's really impatient."

A blush crept onto her face, followed by a hint of disdain, and she secretly spat.

But the noise behind him did not stop; instead, it grew louder and louder, making Fan You's heart pound like a drum and his breath become disordered.

"No, no way."

She instinctively brought her legs together, blushing and covering her ears. "That rascal, is he going to ruin that girl?"

The enchanting sounds that almost echoed across the mountaintop reached her ears, causing Fan You's pupils to tremble slightly, her heart filled with both shame and panic.

"This is no longer dual cultivation! That girl has been tormented to the heavens!"
