Chapter 36- Su Xuan Wu

'From that old man's ability, it will most likely take Meng Wuya 4 to 5 years to completely unlock the seal placed on his cultivation.'

After leaving Meng Wuya's living quarters, Su Mu started walking around the High Heaven Pavilion, wondering if anything noteworthy had happened there.

It's been four days since the Heaven's Cave Inheritance closed, and the High Heaven Pavilion was done assessing their losses, along with the disciples who successfully returned alive.

Except for the ones who were in secluded cultivation, every disciple who had returned was busy accumulating their gains. Some were openly selling what they had found, while others were running around, trying to exchange their belongings for Points within the Sect.

"Hey, that's Young Master Su, isn't he?"

"I heard that he was in Secluded Cultivation."

"Do you think he was the one who inherited the main legacy?"

"Idiot, who else could it be but him? Do you think anyone else stands a chance against Young Master Su?"

"Indeed, his strength even surpasses that of Su Yan. I wonder what his real cultivation base is?"

"But the inheritance could've been searched by either Su Yan, or it could've been Hu Jiao'er from the Blood Battle Group, whose cultivation also surpasses Su Yan's."

"Did you hear about Xie Hongchen? The Elders have declared him a Traitorous Disciple already, saying that he was the reason for numerous fellow disciples' death and how Young Master Su brought justice to their deaths."

"I was there. I saw Young Master Su kill that Evil Monster Beast before killing the Traitorous Xie Hongchen, and he looked nothing short of a hero. I couldn't help but admire him from afar."

"I think Young Master Su is more suitable for the position of Top Disciple within the Pavilion."

Although the High Heaven Pavilion was more crowded than usual, upon seeing Su Mu walking by, every disciple moved aside, giving him way without any words.

And even though the disciples were only whispering among themselves while looking at Su Mu, with his senses, how could he not be aware of what they were talking about?

It was obvious that his reputation within the High Heaven Pavilion had skyrocketed enough for the Elders to label Xie Hongchen as a traitor without even asking him, or Su Yan, the one who was in charge of the disciples, about it.

But Su Mu wasn't interested in that, not in the slightest. For him, High Heaven Pavilion was nothing more than a temporary residence, one that he will soon leave, similar to this world. If it wasn't for him hearing his name, Su Mu had already completely forgotten about Xie Hongchen.

Unbothered by the crowd and their unnecessary whispering, Su Mu continued to walk around the High Heaven Pavilion without a purpose.

"Hey, did you hear that Yang Kai's Promotion exam? They say he has broken through the Qi Transformation Realm and is now given a chance to become an Ordinary Disciple."

"Yeah, but not only did that guy reject the Elder's order for his Promotion, he outright said that he never asked for it and if the Elders are willing to force the Promotion upon him."

'Hmm. I see. That's good.'

Hearing that one piece of gossip, a slight smile appeared on Su Mu's face.

'It looks like Yang Kai is about to find the Soul Warming Lotus. Considering his luck, it'll be before he reaches the Separation and Reunion Realm.'

As for how Su Mu knew about it? The answer was obvious. Unlike normal treasures which are easy to refine depending on how great a person's strength is, Soul Warming Lotus defied that logic since it wasn't something a person could refine, not even him. Soul Warming Lotus could only be passed from one person to another, never to be refined as someone's treasure. But there was a catch.

The less one's soul has developed, the easier it could be to inherit the Soul-Warming Lotus. Meaning that the easiest way to get the Soul-Warming Lotus is to get it before one's soul starts developing during cultivation.

A person's soul, although minimum, starts developing during the Separation and Reunion Realm, making Qi Transformation and the realms below it the easiest to inherit the Soul Warming Lotus.

"Should we try pressing Su Yan and Su Mu? Us forgiving him for Xie Hongchen's murder was generous enough, but he seems to think of us as pushovers."

While the meeting was going on, Treasurer Meng decided to intervene, holding the Sect Master's Token in his hands.

With mere words, and thanks to the power of the Sect Master's Token, Mang Wuya was able to stop the Elders from going any further with Su Mu and Su Yan.

Whoever held the Sect Master's Token had permission to relay the Sect Master's orders, something no Elder dared to go against.

This was merely an act of friendship on Meng Wuya's part, simply thanking Su Mu for all that he had done for his dear disciple, although he knew it was nowhere near enough.

Inside his living quarters, Su Mu was lying on the bed, not sure what to do next.

It's been a few hours since Su Yan left to cultivate inside her own living quarters.

After Dual Cultivation, Su Mu was done 'creating' the Ice Secret Art for Su Yan, along with a bunch of Martial Skills and Movement Techniques.

Since it was for Su Yan, Su Mu created an Ice Secret Art by combining all the Ice-related Secret Arts he had, giving it their best individual quality while also eliminating general weaknesses.

The base of that Secret Art was the 'Ice Empress Imperial Secret Art'. A Secret Art that belonged to an 8th Rank Open Heaven Realm Cultivator, and one of his many Cultivation Partners.

Its special quality was that it can absorb and assimilate different Ice-related Secret Arts into itself, creating a better version, and improving itself until it reached perfection.

Thanks to all the other Secret Arts Su Mu possessed thanks to his vast knowledge, it wasn't difficult to improve the 'Ice Empress Imperial Secret Art' beyond even what the original creator had intended.

It was a Secret Art tailor-made for Su Yan, who not only had the natural aptitude for Ice related Cultivation, but also inherited the Ice Phoenix Source.

He was sure that, even for Su Yan, it'll take a lot of time for her to just reach the Elementary Stage of this Secret Art.

'With that done, I should see where Yang Kai is going.' Deciding that, Su Mu sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.

It's been two days since Yang Kai left the High Heaven Pavilion without clarifying the reason, but it wasn't difficult to guess that he was trying to avoid the promotion exam established by the Elders, who were suspicious about his sudden increase in cultivation.

Some even doubted if he was the one who truly gained the Heaven's Cave Inheritance, forcing him to leave the Pavilion until the dust dies down.

Outside, two women were making their way towards Su Mu's living quarters, gaining a lot of glances from all the disciples within the High Heaven Pavilion thanks to their beauty.

The first one's facial features were quite delicate, pupils like water, tender skin with a good figure, particularly her abundant chest, which didn't have an equal. She was none other than Lan Chu Die, the one who spend her time with Su Mu when she was inside the Heaven's Cave Inheritance.

Next to her was a girl whose stature was quite slender, and was not as tall as Lan Chu Die, but looked very delicate. Seeing her expression, it wasn't difficult to say that the girl was extremely shy, avoiding eye contact with any disciple within the High Heaven Pavilion. She was Du Yi Shuang.

Walking forward, the two of them arrived at Su Mu's living quarters. Not daring to be disrespectful, they knocked on the door, waiting for his permission.

Wrote this chapter being surrounded by a lot of kids, so it might not be the best. And the genius who suggested killing the kids, get help.

I started writing like days ago, but social gatherings took all my life energy.

And no, I couldn't proofread.
