Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 1427: Chapter 1180: Recuperation

On Red Sun Cliff.

After the great battle, everyone cleaned up the battlefield, rested, and healed their injuries. Su Yuan also sent Ruan Ruan to assist with the treatment.

Also helping with the treatment was Wuzhen, from the Buddhism of the Western Continent. Under the glow of his Buddha Light, everyone seemed to forget their pain, and their injuries visibly improved at an astonishing speed.

Ma Liang summoned the Six Paths Demon Statue to capture a large number of Demon Beast souls, including Mo Yun. The souls of many Demon Beasts struggled frantically amidst their screams of despair and horror but could not escape the confines of the Six Paths Demon Statue and Life Soul Divine Water, being continuously refined one by one, which seemed both tragic and horrifying.

Under Ma Liang’s cold gaze filled with excitement, there had never been so many powerful souls before, including even a soul of Seventh Stage King Level that had also studied the Soul Law!

Once these Demon Beast souls were completely refined, his own cultivation would surely make another leap forward!

Originally, such methods of a Demon Cultivator seemed extremely vile to the many Cultivators present, but at this moment, used on the otherworldly Demon Beasts that had invaded the Southern Continent and destroyed countless sects, no one felt it inappropriate and even wished Ma Liang could make these demonic creatures suffer more.

After a long time, besides Master Yunhua, the people of the True Yang Sect barely recovered.

Su Yuan and Niu Fen went to the side, and Su Yuan said, ”Niu Sword Master, now that I have found you, I can consider my task complete.”

”It has truly been troublesome for Royal Envoy Su!” Niu Fen, full of gratitude, praised Su Yuan, saying, ”The progress of Royal Envoy Su is truly something we are ashamed of.”

Looking at the young man with silver hair and silver eyes in front, Niu Fen felt a burst of emotion in his heart.

The first time they met, Su Yuan was merely a newly ascended New King from the Earth Tribulation.

And in the last great battle of the Divine Sect, he had barely managed to slay a Seventh Stage Demon King, and now, in just half a month, his strength had improved astonishingly, having even slain two High Stage Demon Kings!

As for his cultivation, the people of the Divine Sect already knew of Su Yuan’s Demon Saber Sacred Artifact being able to smelt Star Cores, but how had he, so shortly after ascending to King Level, mastered one high-grade divine skill after another so endlessly?

Such talent and insight are truly unparalleled in ten thousand years!

’This kid, how exactly is he cultivating?’

Niu Fen smacked his lips, feeling deeply the disparity of the world...

Su Yuan asked, ”The situation in the Southern Continent is still unclear and wrought with danger. Does Niu Sword Master plan to return to the Divine Sect now?”

Niu Fen shook his head and said, ”Even for us King Level experts, it’s fraught with danger, let alone for others. Sect after sect has been destroyed, and one can only imagine the dire situation for Low Stage cultivators and ordinary folks everywhere...”

Su Yuan’s expression grew slightly serious; he had seen many such horrific situations while teleporting from the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect.

Demons rampaged, devouring humans.

Cultivators could scarcely protect themselves, and for ordinary folks, homes were destroyed and only one in hundreds survived!

Su Yuan never considered himself a saint and clearly understood the hierarchy of things. However, seeing such scenes of unprecedented atrocities, he couldn’t help but intervene repeatedly; otherwise, he could have reached here two days ago if he had simply focused on traveling.

Niu Fen held the True Yang Magic Sword in both hands, smiling at Su Yuan, ”I am not like you, Friend Su, brilliant and swift in progress, a true prodigy of Blue Sea Star.

My talent and ability are limited, and I’m not young... But with this sword, during this disaster with demons rampant and the people suffering, I must do my utmost to slay demons and eliminate evil, doing what I can to shed a light of warmth!”

Gazing at Niu Fen with flames flickering in his eyes, Su Yuan pondered for a moment and saluted with his fists.

”Amitabha.” Accompanied by a Buddhist chant, Wuzhen, with a dignified and gentle smile, approached, ”Daoist Niu Fen’s benevolence and wisdom are admirable.”

Niu Fen laughed heartily and quickly saluted, ”I am but a rough man, Master, what benevolence and wisdom could I speak of before you? Master Wuzhen praises me too much.”

Niu Fen truly respected this Western Master Wuzhen; without his tireless healing efforts during this battle, perhaps far fewer Cultivators would have survived in the end.

Wuzhen slightly shook his head, ”Buddha is compassionate, saving all beings is our doctrine. Though you are not of our faith, Niu Sword Master, you possess such great compassion and a heart to aid the world. It is indeed commendable.”

After speaking, Wuzhen turned to Su Yuan, ”I heard this Friend Su comes from the East Continent?”

Su Yuan slightly nodded, ”East Continent, Great Flame, Su Yuan.”

”Amitabha.” Wuzhen clasped his hands together in a salute and then said, ”As Niu Sword Master has said, Friend Su recently assisted the Divine Sect in repelling demons, and once again helps us and many True Yang Daoists break through the crisis, truly invaluable merit.”

”Master Wuzhen praises too much.” Su Yuan returned the salute and said, ”Master, too, came from the Western Continent and has been saving lives amidst the disaster. I merely contributed some slaying. In terms of merit, I’m far behind you, Master.”

Wuzhen replied, ”To kill to stop killing is also a path.”

Su Yuan smiled and said no more.

The Master Wuzhen before him, during these days, had saved many, which was commendable.

However, concerning the mysterious Western Buddhism, Su Yuan had little contact yet, and still maintained a cautious perspective.

This Master Wuzhen before him, though only of the Third Stage, gave Su Yuan a faint sense of unease, something he couldn’t quite see through or grasp.

After chanting a Buddha’s name once more, Wuzhen slowly walked away...

Amidst everyone resting and recovering, a streak of Spirit Light shot across the sky and approached, revealing a middle-aged man clad in a black-and-white Daoist robe.

”Xun Yue of Yixian Dao greets Fellow Daoists of True Yang!” The middle-aged man’s face lit up with joy upon seeing the people of True Yang Sect, ”Master Yunhua, Master Xu...how wonderful to see you all safe!”

”Daoist Xun?” Xu Hong’s eyes brightened, stepping forward two steps immediately, ”How did you come here, how is your sect faring now?”

Apart from the top three super sects like Taishang Sect, over millennia, each sect generally only had about ten old King Level figures, so the people of the True Yang Sect and Niu Fen naturally recognized this Spirit Venerable Xun Yue from Yixian Dao.

Xun Yue hastily approached everyone, ”Our sect is fine, the Upper Emperor surmised something before the great disaster, veiling the heavens, deploying a great formation to obscure our sect’s location.

Sadly, we failed to activate the High-level Primordial Spirit Shadowing Array in time to communicate to other sects...”

Xun Yue’s voice grew increasingly soft, appearing somewhat guilty.

Upon hearing this, Master Xu, Liu Zhenyan, and others reflected on the ruinous state of their sect, their expressions grew grim.

The Yixian Dao Shang Emperor had perceived something yet did not inform other sects, opting only to safeguard Yixian Dao.

This wasn’t solely due to the suddenness of the Grey Realm’s assault or urgency of time.

There was likely another reason, though Xun Yue hadn’t voiced it, Master Yunhua and others knew, that was—

”Heaven’s mysteries cannot be revealed.”

In divination and deduction of heavenly secrets, some outcomes one may know oneself, but cannot be casually divulged to others, nor interfered with lightly.

Otherwise, the greater the matter, the more significant the backlash upon revealing it to others.

Hence, in the Southern Continent, to seek divination from Yixian Dao disciples required paying considerable dues.

As for Su Yuan’s subordinate Ashley, possessing a fate’s prophecy power and bound in life through a contract with Su Yuan, she seldom faced significant backlash.

”No worries.” Master Yunhua’s voice, though somewhat weak, remained full of spirit, ”This disaster originates from the sins of otherworldly demons, not to blame our Fellow Daoists of Yixian Dao.”

Hearing Master Yunhua speak, Xun Yue breathed a silent sigh of relief.
