Chapter 620: Sky Soul Fusion, Su Yao Enlightens
“Brother, are you alright?”
Gui Qianjie was channeling spiritual power to heal Gui Daoran. Thanks to the protection from the toad robe, Gui Qianjie sustained the least injury.
Seeing the anxious Gui Qianjie, Gui Daoran smiled slightly and said, “Sister, I’m fine, it’s just that this time, I can’t protect you.”
Upon hearing this, Gui Qianjie’s lips trembled as she looked around at the crowd.
Everyone’s eyes were filled with mockery, as if they were watching an exciting monkey show.
Thinking of this, Gui Qianjie unconsciously tightened her fists.
Freedom is something one only realizes the value of when it’s lost.
In the Eight Desolates Nine Domains, she had the academy protecting her, teachers caring for her, and mentors loving her.
No matter what choices she made, no one interfered with her freedom.
But here, not to mention making choices, even living in peace was a distant luxury.
“Brother, let us fight one last time.”
“Even if we d*e, we must let them see our final performance!”
“Right!”
Gui Daoran struggled to rise, the two held each other’s hands as their spiritual power began to merge.
Ye Mingjie’s strength was too formidable; to inflict damage upon him, only by joining forces could there be a slim chance.
However, as their full power erupted, their Sky Souls manifested once again.
“Splish!”
The sound of flowing water echoed as Gui Daoran abandoned all preconceived notions, and his lotus-shaped Sky Soul, along with the Sea of Suffering’s peculiarities, emerged together.
What was even more interesting was that Gui Qianjie’s Sky Soul actually fused with Gui Daoran’s.
Seeing this scene, Ye Gao Fei stood up from the high platform.
“A Sky Soul fusion, credit to Qingyang Sect!”
An uncontrollable smile appeared on Ye Gao Fei’s face because the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect had manifested a Sky Soul fusion from the Four Directions Continent.
Sky Soul fusion not only accelerates both parties’ cultivation, but the power of the fused Sky Soul also multiplies exponentially.
Two Golden Quality Sky Souls were indeed precious, but in front of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, they were just that.
However, if these two Golden Quality Sky Souls merged, they would surpass any other individual Sky Soul by far.
Thinking of this, Ye Gao Fei retracted his smile and coldly stated, “Except for those whom the upper sect values, all others belong to my Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.”
“Everyone, please understand.”
Hearing Ye Gao Fei’s words, the sect leaders of the other sects said nothing.
Red Quality and Golden Quality Sky Souls were indeed rare, but whether they could become genuine pillars depended on the capability of the Sky Soul holders.
If the holder of a Sky Soul is a useless person, then even possessing the best Sky Soul is unlikely to yield great results.
These young individuals exhibited outstanding performance; with slight nurturing, they would undoubtedly become pillar materials.
Such talents differ from those who merely possess Sky Soul qualities, so it was only logical that the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect would not let go.
However, while it was difficult to obtain openly, it would be another matter behind the scenes.
……
At the venue.
Seeing Gui Qianjie and Gui Daoran execute the Sky Soul fusion technique, Ye Mingjie nodded slightly.
“To think they could perform Sky Soul fusion; I truly underestimated you.”
“Let me see how powerful your Sky Soul fusion technique is.”
As he spoke, a massive bull like a small mountain appeared, bathing half the venue in red light.
Ye Mingjie and the others were on the verge of action, while Su Yao stood in a daze, gazing at the battlefield not far away.
Warm reminder: The upper right corner has functions like “Switch between Simplified and Traditional,” “Adjust font size,” and “Reading background color.”
Looking down at the Sky Soul in his hand, Su You felt confused.
From childhood to now, he had read countless precious texts, and combined with his past life’s memories, he was well-versed in various secret arts.
However, in the recent battle, despite using all his means, he still couldn’t shake the opponent’s hold.
Not to mention surpassing the enemy, he felt increasingly distant from his achievements in his past life.
Thinking of this, Su You’s eyes began to redden, clearly on the brink of falling into madness.
“You’re losing your way!”
Bai Li Chang Kong, who had yet to make a move, chuckled and said.
This soul-piercing statement immediately brought Su You back to his senses, though the memories swirling in his mind were still quite chaotic.
And just in that moment of confusion, a flash of insight struck Su You.
“Buzz!”
The three thousand tomes reappeared, but this time, they were chaotic.
Seeing the disordered books, a smile crept onto Su You’s lips.
“So this is what it means; how ironically clever!”
After self-mocking, Su You casually picked up a book and began to write.
As he continued to put pen to paper, powerful secret arts manifested, directly aiming for Ye Mingjie.
Simultaneously, the brush in Su You’s hand began to change, even taking on a tendency to solidify.
……
In the corner.
“Tsk tsk tsk!”
“To take this long to understand, truly foolish.”
Seeing Su You’s transformation, Chen Changsheng, who was snacking on a fruit platter, offered an ordinary assessment.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhen asked curiously, “What do you mean?”
“It’s simple; Su You has finally realized.”
“Su You is the reincarnation of the academy’s Brush Elder, as you know, but what you don’t know is that both Su You and the Brush Elder were trapped by a single question.”
“What question?”
“To create an entirely new path.”
“The Brush Elder was a scribe beside the Supreme Saint, so his insights go without saying.”
“However, because he had too much knowledge, he became trapped in his own mind.”
“He wanted to create an unprecedented technique or secret art, one that didn’t reference anything else.”
“Yet, he studied too much; no matter how he racked his brains, he could never create something entirely new.”
“In pursuit of his ideals, the Brush Elder delved even deeper into the texts.”
“But the more he researched, the more he found the paths of the ancients nearly exhausted.”
“It was precisely because the Supreme Saint recognized this issue that he had him copy texts in the Scripture Vault, intending for him to understand that even the ancients had drawn upon others.”
“Unfortunately, he never grasped the essence of it.”
“After his reincarnation as Su You, although he became two completely different individuals, the Brush Elder’s obsession still lingered within Su You.”
“Su You wants to surpass his former self, to surpass the sages in the texts.”
“The more he learns, the more he resembles others, hence the emergence of the question: Who am I?”
Upon finishing, Zhang Zhen remarked, “So Su You can be considered as integrating the essence of various schools now?”
“Yes, he has now surpassed his former self.”
“That’s somewhat absurd; both the Brush Elder and Su You are remarkable figures, yet they’re caught by such a question.”
“Everyone has their own obsessions and traits; life and d*ath are not overly significant for the Brush Elder or Su You.”
“But even such a trivial matter of life and d*ath trapped you as well?”
