Chapter 292: Breaking through to the Spirit Severing Realm, You Resemble Hanjiang Ancient Emperor a Lot

Su Shi himself was a bit unresponsive. He hasn’t even obtained the third ancient bell yet, and he managed to break through with just a fragment? It seems a bit too easy.

But upon careful consideration, it’s not entirely so. Although his previous cultivation was only at the Nascent Soul Realm, his spiritual power was even deeper than that of a Spirit Severing cultivator.

Plus, with the spiritual tea he drank just now, the spiritual energy in his dantian was almost overflowing. And after the tempering of the soul power by the small bell in his dantian, it far surpassed the same level cultivators. This fragment of the ancient bell brought him an opportunity, allowing him to smoothly breakthrough to the separation stage.

It can be said that his “accumulation brings success,” but the speed at which he accumulated is already beyond the understanding of ordinary people.

Yu Hongyin shook her head. A twenty-year-old Golden Elixir Cultivator can be called a genius. A twenty-year-old Nascent Soul Cultivator is a rare genius. What does a cultivator in his twenties at the Spirit Severing Realm amount to in comparison?

Yu Hongyin’s eyes were somewhat complex. Even if he’s a Holy-grade perfection, he definitely wouldn’t have such an exaggerated speed of progress. He must have great luck and opportunities.

To be able to reach the pinnacle and become a supremely powerful being, all of them were unrivaled geniuses. But looking at the young man before her, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of rising tide pushing against the preceding waves.

“The most talented genius in Linlang? Even if we consider the entire Nine Realms, it would be hard to find a second one,” Yu Hongyin pondered to herself.

“Yu Ren’er’s judgement is indeed not to be underestimated. Although she appears foolish, her eye for men is top-notch,” Yu Hongyin contemplated to herself.

Su Shi lowered his head and looked at his own hands.

Su Shi lowered his head and looked at his own transparent palms. Through the semi-transparent palms, he could see the swaying grass below. “So this is what it’s like to have the soul leave the body,” he thought. With a slight movement of his mind, he instantly arrived on the Ninth Heaven. The next second, he returned to the ground. Sometimes he dived into the underground, and sometimes he crossed over mountains and hills. It felt as if he had discarded all weight, drifting lightly without any burden, freely traversing the heavens and earth, thoroughly enjoying himself.

Such playfulness brought Yu Hongyin to shake her head. “How childish.”

Yu Hongyin thought for a moment and said, “She once said that this thing was given to her by Li Hanjiang. After she had a foreboding that her remaining lifespan was short, she gave it to me, telling me to pass it on to the destined one in the future. Since you can sense this fragment, you must be the destined one she mentioned, right?”

Su Shi was stunned. Zhaixin Daozun had actually anticipated this step? The divination ability of the Dao experts is truly terrifying!

“It seems that it is indeed related to Li Hanjiang, the Ancient Emperor,” Su Shi thought for a moment and asked again, “Does the Ancestor know why Li Hanjiang suddenly disappeared?”

Yu Hongyin shook her head and said, “I don’t know. Not only do I not know, even when Zhaixin burned her life force, she couldn’t find the true whereabouts of Li Hanjiang, perhaps he has already perished.”

Thinking of the experiences in the Ancient Emperor’s Secret Realm, Su Shi felt that this possibility was highly likely. Only when someone with a strong perception of their lifespan ending would they leave their inheritance behind.

The world and I are illusory, what use is the immortal path,” Su Shi quoted the self-mockery of the ancient emperor in the secret realm, which to some extent explained the situation.

“Actually, you are very similar to Li Hanjiang,” Yu Hongyin suddenly said without any context.

Su Shi was taken aback, “I am similar to him?”

Yu Hongyin nodded and said, “Although your appearances are different, your temperaments are very similar. Both have a bit of a carefree attitude and carry an imperial-like majesty.”

“And your physical body is the most perfect I have seen, even more so than his. Li Hanjiang was born with the bloodline of True Martial. It is through martial arts that he proves the Dao and attains an undying and invincible demonic body. His physical body is like a mountain, capable of cutting off rivers with a single palm. And the man in front of me, his muscles and bones are like jade, his blood and energy are like dragons. Although he cannot be compared to the ancient emperor, one can see the boundless potential within him. Given time, his achievements will definitely not be inferior to Li Hanjiang!”

“Unfortunately, if Zhaixin could see you with her own eyes... Ah, she would be overjoyed. Even if she died and her Dao vanished, she would rest in peace,” Yu Hongyin said, a hint of regret in her voice.

Su Shi fell into silence.

“Should I tell Daoist Sikong about this?” he asked, thinking of the seemingly cold but easily shy nun. A smile appeared at the corner of Su Shi’s mouth. He wondered what her reaction would be to hearing these “secrets.”
