Chapter 309: Ye Xiu, They Are Not Worthy!

Su Yu followed behind the First Principal, slowly arriving deep in the wilderness.

Only after following the First Principal into the depths did Su Yu discover a different sight.

Before Su Yu's eyes lay a vast square.

On that square sat a burly figure, cross-legged and still.

The moment Su Yu saw that figure, his pupils contracted sharply.

Because that figure's gaze was extremely similar to the First Principal's appearance!

Or rather, they were essentially the same person!

Su Yu couldn't help but look at the First Principal, only to see him step sideways and appear directly above that figure.

Then he actually dove straight into that figure.

The next moment, the figure opened its eyes.

Su Yu stared at the figure's eyes, feeling only a tremendous surge that instantly spread before him.

Within those eyes seemed to be the constant annihilation and creation of heavenly stars.

Moreover, a violent surge emanated from the figure's body.

With a boom.

The figure slowly rose, and a tremendously terrifying surge exploded.

"My name... is Ye Xiu!"

Ye Xiu stared at Su Yu, his eyes seeming to see through him completely.

"Founder of Qianlong Academy!"

Hearing Ye Xiu's words, Su Yu's mind jolted.

Indeed, this person before him was none other than the founder of Qianlong Academy, a peak Imperial Realm expert who had lived from ancient times to the present!

He was only half a step away from surpassing the Imperial Realm!

And now, this person stood alive before Su Yu.

Su Yu hesitated a little.

Wasn't Ye Xiu said to have fallen? Why, then, on the Inheritance Path could one see him alive!

Exactly, it was the living Ye Xiu.

The feeling Ye Xiu gave Su Yu was completely different from when he faced the Three Fire Emperors.

Although the Three Fire Emperors' aura was also extremely terrifying, Su Yu could keenly notice that their aura was somewhat erratic.

Like rootless wood, without a source.

Meanwhile, Ye Xiu before him was like a towering tree.

It was entirely a different feeling.

And Ye Xiu seemed to see through Su Yu's doubt, speaking lightly.

"The outside rumors are not wrong; I did fall."

"But at the same time... I have not fallen!"

Hearing Ye Xiu's words, Su Yu's mind shook!

What does that mean?

Fallen yet not fallen?

What situation is this?

Su Yu felt somewhat lost.

Ye Xiu continued.

"Some things for you are still far off; although you have reached the limit of the Ultimate Path, this is merely the beginning of the Martial Path."

"The so-called transcendence is merely the first step into the Martial Path; to go further on the Martial Path, the Ultimate Path is an option."

Su Yu listened attentively to Ye Xiu's words.

This peak Imperial Realm expert could be said to be a top-tier existence of the present age; his words would benefit even a half-Imperial expert greatly.

Not to mention Su Yu now.

"Do you know what the Ultimate Path means?"

Ye Xiu asked.

Su Yu pondered briefly, then said, "The so-called Ultimate Path is reaching the limit of a realm, thereby being able to erupt with greater power."

Having said that, Su Yu cautiously looked at Ye Xiu.

As for the description of the Ultimate Path, Su Yu had only learned it from Zhao Tianxing's mouth.

Thus he only knew that much.

"Yes and no."

Ye Xiu shook his head.

"The so-called Ultimate Path is walking the path of limits; each person who steps onto it, few succeed in reaching the end; in ancient times no one could achieve it, not even I."

Hearing Ye Xiu's words, Su Yu's complexion changed slightly.

"No one can successfully reach the end of the Ultimate Path; why is that?"

Ye Xiu said lightly.

"The first step of the Ultimate Path is to light up eighteen stars. Just this alone stumped everyone in ancient times; I think you should know that in ancient times, the most a Star Ancestor Master could light was fifteen stars, and I myself only managed thirteen."

"I never imagined that in modern times someone could appear who had lit eighteen stars. To be frank, after I walked the Inheritance Path, I did not intend to pass on my legacy."

"Because those people are not worthy! Yet you appeared."

Ye Xiu looked at Su Yu, and in his usually calm eyes a rare emotional fluctuation surfaced.

Su Yu listened, his heart and spirit slightly stirred.

No wonder no one has been able to obtain the First Principal's inheritance for hundreds of years.

If I hadn't summoned the illusory forms of the eighteen stars at the end, I probably wouldn't have gotten Ye Xiu's inheritance, or perhaps just taken notice.

Because in Ye Xiu's eyes, these people are unworthy of his inheritance!

But with my appearance, Ye Xiu changed that idea.

Because Su Yu's talent surpasses everyone of the ancient era!

The eighteen stars—something no one in the entire ancient era managed to do, yet Su Yu accomplished it.

Ye Xiu gazed at Su Yu and spoke lightly.

"My inheritance is not suitable for you."

Hearing Ye Xiu's words, Su Yu's mouth corner twitched slightly.

If it's not suitable for me, why let me come here?

I might as well go find that old man; at least others are still playing with knives.

And it matches me as well.

Ye Xiu looked deeply at Su Yu; that glance seemed to see through Su Yu's inner heart.

"Any inheritance within the Inheritance Path is unsuitable for you; you walk the Extreme Path, so any inheritance before you fails—only those from the ancient era have a few that suit you."

Listening to Ye Xiu's words, Su Yu's heart stirred slightly, and he asked.

"Why?"

Ye Xiu explained.

"The so-called Extreme Path is walking the limit of a single way; throughout the ancient era, no one managed to complete it, so their inheritances are unsuitable for you."

"My inheritance, although unsuitable for you, can still bring you some experience, but remember this..."

Su Yu's eyes lit up.

"What words?"

Ye Xiu gave Su Yu a deep look: "Never let my inheritance lead you; you must walk your own path!"

Upon hearing these words, Su Yu's mind suddenly roared.

"One's own path?"

"What is that path?"

Su Yu fell silent.

Ye Xiu also waited silently for Su Yu.

After a moment, Su Yu raised his head, a flash of sharp light passing through his eyes.

He cracked open his mouth, revealing snow-white teeth.

"Senior, I understand!"

Ye Xiu nodded, pointing to his own position.

"Come here; I will bestow my inheritance upon you!"
