Chapter 351: Chapter 221: What Does He Want to Do?

Cyan Cloud Sect, Scripture Pavilion.

Within the Land of Inheritance, Su Xing let out a soft breath, startlingly mottled with Spiritual Qi and Qi and Blood. At that moment, the cross-legged Su Xing slowly opened his eyes.

"Haaa..."

"This Land of Inheritance is truly something else."

Su Xing murmured.

He had more or less figured out the place’s activation mechanism. As long as one cultivated the Immortal Martial Root to a rudimentary level and then infused it with their own Qi and Blood, they would receive a Spiritual Qi infusion that would cause their Immortal Root to grow at an explosive rate.

In the blink of an eye, his Immortal Root had already reached the Tier Four Peak. This was a realm most Extraordinary Beings struggled to reach, yet for Su Xing, it had been remarkably simple. Then again, that was hardly surprising.

Unfortunately, it seemed this inheritance could only be activated once.

’But something struck Su Xing as odd. The effects of the Land of Inheritance were so profound, and the method to activate it wasn’t even that difficult. Why hadn’t Elder Lu just been upfront with him?’

’Could it be... no one in the Cyan Cloud Sect had ever figured out how to use this Land of Inheritance?’

At the thought, Su Xing couldn’t help but chuckle. The Cyan Cloud Sect was sitting on a treasure trove and didn’t even know how to open it. If he got the chance, he supposed he could tell them about it.

’I should get going.’

With that thought, Su Xing stood up to leave the area. But just as he stepped out of the Land of Inheritance and was approaching the entrance to the Scripture Pavilion, he saw Elder Ling talking with the Tower Guardian.

From a distance, it sounded as if they were discussing the Secret Realm.

"Su Xiaoyou."

"How is your training in Immortal-Martial Unity coming along?"

Elder Ling spotted Su Xing and broke into a friendly smile, waving at him. Although he’d never practiced Immortal-Martial Unity, he was aware of how difficult the technique was. He figured that for Su Xing to come out so quickly, he must have failed.

Still, that was to be expected. Immortal-Martial Unity was a path that prioritized immortal techniques, after all. For a martial artist like Su Xiaoyou, learning it would only be more difficult. Thus, Elder Ling merely felt it was a shame and didn’t dwell on it.

"It went pretty well."

Su Xing said with a smile and a nod.

"There’s no need to be discour—Wait, what do you mean, ’it went pretty well’? Su Xiaoyou, don’t joke with me. How could you have possibly learned Immortal-Martial Unity in such a short time?"

Elder Ling said in astonishment. Immortal-Martial Unity was a technique difficult to grasp and even more difficult to cultivate. Although Su Xiaoyou was exceptionally talented, to comprehend and successfully cultivate it in such a short amount of time... it was still rather unbelievable.

"Elder Ling, take a look."

Su Xing just smiled, with no intention of hiding anything. After all, the Cyan Cloud Sect had willingly gifted the Immortal-Martial Unity technique to him, so it was only natural for Su Xing to show his good faith in return.

"Look at what?"

As he spoke, a wisp of Spiritual Qi suddenly pooled in the center of Su Xing’s palm. As a Qi Cultivator, Elder Ling was naturally familiar with the aura of Spiritual Qi. He immediately looked at Su Xing in astonishment, thinking to himself:

’This kid actually did it?’

"Haha, well then, congratulations, young friend."

Although he was astonished, a smile still appeared on his face as he cupped his fist in congratulation.

"Young friend, since you’ve learned the Immortal-Martial Unity technique, did you go to the Land of Inheritance?"

"Of course I did."

Su Xing said with a smile.

"This is actually the second thing I was planning to discuss with your sect. Since you’re here, Elder Ling, I might as well just tell you."

"A second thing?"

Elder Ling was puzzled, but he could tell Su Xing was about to explain, so he didn’t press further and simply waited for him to speak.

Soon enough, Su Xing continued, "I’m not sure if you’ve been to the Land of Inheritance, Elder Ling, but there’s a giant, mysterious painting there. I’ve discovered how to use it."

Su Xing then recounted his experience to Elder Ling in full, concealing only the existence of his system and the chain reactions it had caused.

For example, Su Xing’s own Qi Cultivation Realm.

"This is truly big news."

After listening, Elder Ling first let out a sigh of admiration for Su Xing, then quickly added:

"Su Xiaoyou, your discovery will be of enormous help to our Cyan Cloud Sect. Allow me to thank you on behalf of Sect Leader Gu."

"It’s no trouble."

Su Xing waved his hand dismissively. "I’m just a little curious about your sect. Has no one really practiced this Immortal-Martial Unity?"

"That’s correct."

Elder Ling said with a hint of regret.

"For those on the path of a Qi Cultivator, a long life is more desirable than immense power. Who wouldn’t want to pursue longevity?"

"It’s just that for people like us, our talent is insufficient. What’s more, we lived through the exhaustion of Spiritual Qi. Our lifespans typically only increase along with our realm, so we could die of old age at any time. Under these conditions, it would be impossible for us to practice Immortal-Martial Unity."

"Therefore, there is indeed no one among the Elders who practices Immortal-Martial Unity, which is why we were unable to discover the mechanism in the Land of Inheritance."

"..."

"I see."

Su Xing sighed with understanding. The depletion and resurgence of Spiritual Qi had indeed changed the destinies of many people. Even those who survived the depletion had wasted hundreds of years.

Su Xing himself had encountered the resurgence of Spiritual Qi, which was the only reason he was able to cast off his ordinary status and reach his current level.

"Haha, in that case, I’ll go report this to Sect Leader Gu. As for you, Su Xiaoyou, you should get some rest."

"Not right now. I plan to make a trip to the organization first."

"The organization?"

Elder Ling froze for a moment, then his expression shifted to one of understanding. He gave a wry smile and said, "Elder Lu must have told you to go, didn’t he?"
