Time flies.

In the world of cultivation, time is the least valuable thing.

In the blink of an eye, Su Yu is already 350 years old.

This year.

In late autumn, fallen leaves covered the stone steps of Luoyun Mountain in Tianyun Market.

The back hall of the inner palace was filled with a strong smell of medicinal soup.

Su Yu sat on a rosewood chair, looking at the white-haired, elderly woman on the bed who was nearing the end of her life.

His younger sister, Su Yao.

"elder brother……"

Su Yao turned her head with great difficulty.

Her voice was so faint it was almost inaudible, but her tone carried an unusual ease and contentment.

"I've lived a truly worthwhile life."

A slight smile appeared on Su Yao's lips.

"With you and Father protecting me... I've never suffered much hardship growing up."

"The best spiritual rice, the best elixirs, things that others risk their lives to fight for... I can have them delivered to my doorstep while I'm sitting at home."

This is the truth.

As the apple of the eye of the Su family, she had an extremely smooth life.

"The only hardship I've ever experienced..."

Su Yao turned her head slightly and looked at Su Yu.

"It was probably back in Aoki Ward City... when you descended from the sky with the pressure of a Golden Core cultivator... I was almost scared to death."

Hearing this slightly sarcastic last message...

Su Yu's expression remained calm, but he still nodded slightly in response.

"You are a good head of the household."

"It's good that the Su family hasn't broken any rules under your control."

With Su Yu's affirmation, Su Yao's smile became even more serene.

"Brother... the path to immortality is too long."

"I can't walk anymore. You'll have to walk the rest of the way by yourself."

The words fell.

Su Yao slowly closed her eyes, and the last rise and fall of her chest ceased.

Su Yao, the third-generation head of the Su family, passed away peacefully at an old age.

Su Yu sat in the chair, neither getting up nor making any other movements.

He stared silently at the corpse on the bed.

With Su Yao's passing.

After many twists and turns, several hundred years have passed.

This is a large family with tens of thousands of members.

He was alone again.

The height is not cold.

In this vast Su family of hidden dragons, he became the only ancestor who sat on the clouds, coldly watching his descendants grow old, get sick, and die.

……

Su Yao's funeral was held with great solemnity.

After the mourning period, the new head of the Su family took over.

He is a late-stage Foundation Establishment disciple from the eldest branch of the family.

Although Su Yu also has two biological daughters, Su Qing and Su Ning.

However, their seniority is too high, and they have been cultivating in seclusion on the ancestral peak for many years, so they are not suitable to come out and take on worldly affairs.

Today, the Su family of Qianlong has developed into a leading Golden Core clan in the Yue Kingdom and even several surrounding countries.

Within the family, Foundation Establishment cultivators are as numerous as hairs on a cow, and there are more than a dozen elders at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.

Not only does he control the entire Tianyun Market, but his influence extends to several surrounding major countries through secular business practices and the dark web.

After Su Yao left, the family's power was transferred to the fourth generation of the family head very smoothly.

Everything was operating smoothly and methodically according to the ironclad rules set by Su Yu back then.

In the deep winter of the year Su Yu turned 353.

In the secret chamber of Zufeng, he felt a very faint cracking sound coming from the storage bag at his waist.

Su Yu took out the broken communication jade slip.

This is a keepsake he left for Tie Zhan more than two hundred years ago on Yingke Peak of Cangxuan Sect.

"Have you encountered an insurmountable obstacle?"

Su Yu did not hesitate at all.

Since he made a promise, he will definitely keep it.

Su Yu left Luoyun Mountain, transforming into a long rainbow, and sped towards the state where the Tie Zhan family was located.

The Tie family is just an ordinary Foundation Establishment family.

Although Tie Zhan lived to be nearly three hundred years old, he ultimately could not escape the erosion of time.

And shortly after Tie Zhan passed away.

Two Foundation Establishment families in the vicinity, who had a long-standing feud, joined forces and came to the Tie family's door, attempting to divide up the Tie family's spiritual veins.

When Su Yu descended upon the Tie family's territory, the protective formation below was already teetering on the brink of collapse.

Su Yu didn't waste any words, but simply pressed down with his palm in a very casual manner.

The vast true essence of the early Golden Core stage transformed into a giant purple hand, tens of feet in size.

"boom!"

The combined forces of the two Foundation Establishment families, along with their proud late-stage Foundation Establishment family leaders.

Under this absolute crushing power, it was instantly smashed into a pile of minced meat.

The remaining members of the Tie family knelt in the ruins, looking at Su Yu, who seemed like a god in mid-air, and frantically kowtowed in gratitude.

Su Yu did not linger, nor did he accept any offerings from the Tie family.

He simply left a single sentence in mid-air.

"The favors we owed each other back then are now settled."

The crisis is over.

Su Yu neither went to the Tie family for a cup of tea nor listened to the gratitude expressed by the descendants of the Tie family.

He turned and fled.

With the token shattered, the cause and effect were cleared, and from then on, the life and death of the Tie family had nothing to do with him anymore.

……

After resolving the Tie family's matter.

Su Yu did not return directly to Tianyun Market, but instead flew towards Cangxuan Sect, which was 100,000 miles away.

A few days later, Su Yu returned to the Cangxuan Sect.

Inside the main hall, the sect leader and several resident elders were discussing matters.

After Su Yu sat down, he heard news that was both shocking and yet expected, enough to shake the entire Southern Wilderness cultivation world.

Li Han is dead.

The sect leader sat on his high seat, speaking in an extremely calm tone about this reckoning of cause and effect that spanned hundreds of years.

"Li Han is attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm in the Deepest Part of the Southern Wilderness, the Sea of ​​Absolute Spirit."

The sect leader placed a jade slip on the table and glanced at the Golden Core elders present.

"His foundation as a first-grade Golden Core cultivator is indeed terrifying. He not only withstood the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but also used the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish his physical body, completing the first step in reshaping his Nascent Soul."

"But under the torment of his inner demons, he ultimately couldn't overcome his own inner struggles."

"His true energy went berserk, and the laws backfired, causing him to completely go into a state of demonic possession."

"And the ancient remnant soul hidden in his ancient ring vanished completely to save his life."

The hall was deathly silent as everyone listened quietly to the end of this chosen one.

"Without the concealment of his remnant soul, the aura of his failed breakthrough was completely exposed."

The sect leader stood up, his gaze deep and thoughtful.

"When the Dao heart is shattered, one's cultivation level stops."

"This means that fate is no longer on his side."

Luck is something that only enhances existing good fortune.

When a person loses the possibility of continuing to climb higher, the way of Heaven will ruthlessly withdraw all protection.

"The sect's Grand Elder, together with two Nascent Soul stage monsters from the Blood Shadow Sect and the Myriad Swords Valley, tore through the void and descended upon the Sea of ​​Absolute Spirit."

Without the remnant soul's power, without the protection of the formation, and without that inexplicable luck of turning misfortune into good fortune.

A half-step Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn't even have the chance to self-destruct in front of three true Nascent Soul experts.

"The Nascent Soul inheritance was divided equally among the three families, and our sect's Grand Elder, thanks to his primary contribution, undisputedly obtained the Xuan Tian Remnant Treasure and the most crucial ancient cultivation technique!"

"This centuries-old feud has finally come to an end."

Inside the main hall, all the Golden Core elders breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

The sword that had been hanging over their heads for over two hundred years finally fell.

Su Yu sat down in the chair, picked up the spiritual tea beside him, and took a sip.

So what if someone is chosen by fate?

In this world of cultivation, temporary glory cannot conceal the cruelty of the struggle for the Great Dao.

Li Han enjoyed the exceptional fortune bestowed upon him by Heaven and seized the greatest opportunity, but because he couldn't protect the karma around him, he was ultimately dragged down by his inner demons.

Once their destiny is lost, they can only become prey for Nascent Soul stage monsters to devour.

There is never true invincibility in this world.

It's all about who lives longer and who schemes more deeply.

Although Chu Tiankuo and Lin Wan'er are dead, they destroyed a promising young man with the potential to become a first-grade Golden Core cultivator through the most ruthless and open scheme.

The Cangxuan Sect not only eliminated the potential crisis, but also became the biggest beneficiary of this hunt.

Everyone got the result they wanted.

Su Yu couldn't help but sigh to himself.

"Whether one possesses extraordinary talent or boundless fortune, in the end, one cannot overcome the cruel and unpredictable nature of the path to immortality..."
