Chapter 487: The Situation in Heaven Beyond Heaven, Steward Wang of the Azure Dragon Hall

Time flew by rapidly during Su Yu's synthesis.

In the blink of an eye, two days had already passed.

Over the course of those two days, Su Yu continuously synthesized.

In the end, he successfully emptied out the Xu family's book pavilion entirely.

After two days of synthesis, the Great Desolation Heaven-Devouring Art was directly pushed to the level of a sixth-grade Dao technique, unlocking the cultivation methods for the first seven layers.

The Nine Dragons Heaven Blade was also successfully synthesized to the level of a sixth-grade Dao skill, unlocking up to the seventh blade strike.

The Great Desolation Heaven-Devouring Art was fine — when it was elevated to a sixth-grade Dao technique, Su Yu clearly felt that his cultivation speed had become even faster.

In two days, relying solely on the Great Desolation Heaven-Devouring Art's automatic cultivation, he had restored his cultivation to the peak of the third layer of the Heaven Realm.

He was just one step away from recovering to the fourth layer of the Heaven Realm.

But the Nine Dragons Heaven Blade was somewhat more taxing.

After all, it was a Dao skill — with Su Yu's cultivation, even having unlocked the seventh blade strike level, he could at most wield the power of the first three strikes.

As for the fourth strike, Su Yu gave it a try and found that with his current cultivation, he was clearly still quite far off.

Su Yu reckoned that perhaps only when he advanced to the peak of the fifth layer of the Heaven Realm or the Great Dao Realm would he be able to wield it freely.

However, Su Yu was not in a hurry — at his current speed, advancing to the fifth layer of the Heaven Realm was only a matter of time.

Besides, he still had a top-grade stellar mineral vein on him.

Even now, only half of its energy had been used.

To Su Yu's pleasant surprise, during those two days, the little azure dragon awakened.

But after absorbing energy for a day or two, the little azure dragon fell back asleep.

Along with the little azure dragon's slumber, the fluctuations on its body grew increasingly powerful.

It now already had fluctuations at the third layer of the Heaven Realm.

It made Su Yu extremely envious.

Although his own cultivation was fast, that was built on the foundation of Su Yu cultivating ceaselessly, day and night.

But the little azure dragon was different — it only needed to sleep every day, and after sleeping, absorb a bit of energy.

And it would begin to improve on its own.

One had to admit — comparisons between people could truly drive one to death.

After improving his cultivation technique and Martial Technique, Su Yu did not immediately begin cultivating.

Instead, he started reading through texts about Heaven Beyond Heaven.

There were quite a few such texts in the Xu family.

After reading more than a dozen of them, Su Yu finally had a general understanding of Heaven Beyond Heaven. ωＷω. ＧoＮЬ. οrＧ

Tens of thousands of years ago, a mighty expert discovered the existence of Heaven Beyond Heaven, then led the forces under his command to ascend to Heaven Beyond Heaven and take root there.

The world tier of Heaven Beyond Heaven was higher than that of the Myriad Races Continent, so naturally more and more experts ascended.

They hoped to pursue higher realms.

As for the Myriad Races Continent, it was referred to as the Ancestral Land within Heaven Beyond Heaven.

Tens of thousands of years ago, there were still quite a few experts who interfered in the operation of the Ancestral Land.

But then a peerless prodigy emerged from the Ancestral Land, entered Heaven Beyond Heaven, and ultimately became a top-tier expert of Heaven Beyond Heaven.

He established a rule preventing the people of Heaven Beyond Heaven from interfering in the affairs of the Ancestral Land.

At the same time, he created the Heaven-Earth Grotto to isolate Heaven Beyond Heaven from the Myriad Races Continent.

When Su Yu saw this information, he was startled for a moment.

After all, according to the Myriad Races Continent's account, the Heaven-Earth Grotto was created by an expert who had surpassed the Emperor Realm.

But in the Xu family's texts, the Heaven-Earth Grotto was clearly created by an existence many realms beyond the Emperor Realm.

Then again, surpassing several major realms was still surpassing it.

Within Heaven Beyond Heaven, it was divided into five great domains. Apart from the most mysterious Central Immortal Domain, the other four great domains were respectively occupied by four top-tier forces.

The Azure Dragon Hall, the Vermilion Bird Palace, the Black Tortoise Sect, and the White Tiger Gate.

Moreover, it was said that behind these four sects lurked the shadows of sects from the Central Immortal Domain.

As for whether that was true, only the people of those four sects could know.

Beyond the four great forces, there were still quite a few large forces, but compared to the four great forces, these forces appeared somewhat inadequate.

However, there were still some forces that could not be underestimated, and could even threaten the rule of the four great forces.

But as to why, Su Yu did not find out.

Instead, he saw descriptions regarding cultivation realms.

Aside from the realms above Marquis being somewhat different, the realms before that were the same as those on the Myriad Races Continent.

Marquis was called the Earth Realm here, and King was the Heaven Realm.

In Heaven Beyond Heaven, Marquis and King belonged to the same major realm.

This realm was called the Heaven-Earth Realm.

Above it was the Great Dao Realm — those in the Great Dao Realm comprehended the Great Dao, and the longer the length of one's Great Dao, the more powerful one's strength.

Above the Great Dao Realm was the Law Realm.

Experts in the Law Realm were already considered top-tier existences within the four great domains.

Above the Law Realm, they were called Venerables.

Currently, among the four great domains, only the four great forces openly possessed Venerables.

This was also one of the reasons why the four great forces could control the four great domains.

As for above Venerable, that was something only the Central Immortal Domain possessed.

Currently, in the Four Great Domains, there has never existed a powerhouse above the Venerable Realm.

After understanding the landscape of the Heaven Beyond Heaven, Su Yu felt slightly disappointed.

Because he had not found a way to return to the Myriad Races Continent.

"It makes sense — the Xu family is just a small family of a single city, so it's perfectly normal that they wouldn't know the method. If everyone knew, that existence back then wouldn't have created a Heaven-Earth Grotto."

Su Yu sighed.

"It seems I'll still need to go to some major factions to find out."

Su Yu shook his head and didn't think too much about it. Sometimes, haste makes waste.

Right now, the most important thing was still to fully recover his cultivation — that was what mattered most.

A powerhouse at the Heaven-Earth Realm, though considered a decent existence, could only be regarded as a slightly stronger presence within the Heaven Beyond Heaven.

After all, above the Heaven-Earth Realm, there were still three more realms.

Especially in the Central Immortal Domain, there even existed beings above the Venerable Realm.

Su Yu sat cross-legged on the ground, the Great Desolation Heaven-Devouring Art circulated slowly, and the top-grade Star Ore Vein also floated before Su Yu's chest.

Along with the circulation of the Great Desolation Heaven-Devouring Art, rich energy surged into Su Yu's body.

And Su Yu's cultivation also began to recover bit by bit.

Time flew by rapidly.

Half a month later, at the Cheng family of Jiyuan City.

The Cheng family was one of the three great families on par with the Xu family, likewise having a Heaven Realm Fifth Layer powerhouse presiding over it.

At this moment, in the Cheng family's reception hall.

It was filled with all kinds of delicacies.

Among them, there was no shortage of delicacies made from Heaven Realm demon race.

These delicacies made from Heaven Realm demon race, even for the Cheng family, were an extremely significant expense.

And at the dining table, several figures were exchanging cups and conversing.

One of them had a head full of white hair, wore luxurious clothing, and radiated powerful fluctuations from his body.

This person was none other than the Cheng family's patriarch ancestor, Cheng Yunfei, likewise a Heaven Realm Fifth Layer powerhouse.

Beside Cheng Yunfei was his son, also the current head of the Cheng family.

Cheng Hu!

A Heaven Realm Fourth Layer powerhouse.

As for the opposite side of the two, there was a middle-aged man wearing a cyan robe.

On the chest of that robe was embroidered an Azure Dragon pattern.

If Su Yu were here, he would certainly be able to see that the Azure Dragon pattern was actually identical to the appearance of the Little Azure Dragon.

And this person was none other than an outer sect steward from the Azure Dragon Hall.

His cultivation was fully at the peak of Heaven Realm Fifth Layer, just half a step away from stepping into the Great Dao Realm.

The outer sect stewards of the Azure Dragon Hall were generally held by the Azure Dragon Hall's outer sect disciples.

Within the Azure Dragon Hall, the weak were eliminated and the strong survived — the status of an outer sect disciple could only be held for ten years at most. After ten years, if one could not become an inner sect disciple, they either became an outer sect steward of the Azure Dragon Hall or left the Azure Dragon Hall.

One could say that a steward of the Azure Dragon Hall was only a tiny bit higher in status than an ordinary outer sect disciple.

But even so, an outer sect steward of the Azure Dragon Hall, placed in a small city like Jiyuan City, was still considered a big shot.

"Steward Wang, speaking of which, we haven't seen each other in a long time. This time you've come to our Jiyuan City, it's truly an honor for our Jiyuan City!"

Cheng Yunfei said with a smile.

Steward Wang smiled faintly. "Yes, back then I was grateful for your Cheng family's help, which allowed me to successfully enter the Azure Dragon Hall."

"Eh!" Cheng Yunfei said with feigned displeasure. "Steward Wang, you jest. Back then, Steward Wang's talent was extraordinary — even without our Cheng family's help, you could have made your way to the Azure Dragon Hall. We merely added icing on the cake."

Steward Wang smiled faintly and said nothing.

Cheng Yunfei also spoke up at the right moment. "Steward Wang, I wonder — the Azure Dragon Hall coming to the Southern Domain to recruit people this time, has something happened?"

Logically speaking, the Azure Dragon Hall was a faction of the Eastern Domain and rarely came to the Southern Domain to recruit.

But this year, the Azure Dragon Hall had unexpectedly come to the Southern Domain.

This made quite a few people catch a whiff of secrecy.

Moreover, what made some factions in the Southern Domain most curious was that the Vermilion Bird Palace of the Southern Domain had actually not interfered with the Azure Dragon Hall's recruitment.

This point was rather thought-provoking.

Steward Wang glanced around, quietly set up a soundproof barrier, leaned close to Cheng Yunfei, and spoke.

"Speaking of which, there really is a major matter..."

Cheng Yunfei and Cheng Hu exchanged a glance, and Cheng Yunfei hurriedly said.

"Steward Wang, since it's a major matter, I won't listen. A major matter of the Azure Dragon Hall — we're just a small family, we don't have the guts to listen!"

Cheng Yunfei gave a bitter smile.

Steward Wang waved his hand and said, "Ah, actually it's nothing much. Recruiting people is only a secondary matter. The main thing is that the Hall Master had us come to find someone."

"Find someone?"

Cheng Yunfei looked at Steward Wang in surprise and said, "What kind of person could make the grand Hall Master of the Azure Dragon Hall care so much as to search so openly in the Southern Domain?"

Steward Wang gave a sly smile and said, "Word has it that person is the Hall Master's junior martial brother — do you think the Hall Master wouldn't search so openly!"

The Azure Dragon Hall Master's junior martial brother!

Cheng Yunfei and Cheng Hu exchanged a glance, expressions of shock appearing on their faces.

One must know that the Azure Dragon Hall Master was a Venerable — looking across the entire Four Great Domains, a top-tier existence.

Even in the Central Immortal Domain, a Venerable was a top-tier powerhouse.

A junior martial brother of a Venerable....

This identity was simply mind-blowing.

"Does that Hall Master's junior martial brother have any distinguishing features? Speaking of which, our Cheng family carries a certain weight in Jiyuan City — my Cheng family can help too!"

Cheng Yunfei said, patting his chest.

That was the junior martial brother of the Azure Dragon Hall Master, after all. If they could help find him, and the Azure Dragon Hall Master was pleased, he might bestow a little reward upon the Cheng family.

Perhaps the Cheng family would soar from there.

Steward Wang gave a faint smile, took a sip of fine wine, and said.

"According to the Hall Master, his little junior martial brother is around twenty years of age, with a cultivation likely at the fourth or fifth layer of the Heaven Realm."

"Hiss!"

Cheng Yunfei drew in a sharp breath of cold air.

"As expected of the Hall Master's junior martial brother — only twenty years old yet already at the fourth or fifth layer of the Heaven Realm. Simply heaven-defying!"

Steward Wang nodded. "That cultivation is not bad, but compared to the core disciples of the Azure Dragon Hall, it still falls a bit short."

"However, the Azure Dragon Hall's resources are not something the outside world can compare to. The Hall Master's junior martial brother wasn't in the Azure Dragon Hall, so reaching this step is already quite good."

Steward Wang said with approval.

"Alright, let's set this aside for now. The Hall Master's little junior martial brother won't be that easy to find — otherwise the Hall Master wouldn't be searching for a needle in the ocean. If I happen to encounter him, it's good luck on my part; if not, then so be it."

Steward Wang was fairly even-tempered, speaking calmly.

Cheng Yunfei and Cheng Hu exchanged a glance, then thick-skinned, said to Steward Wang.

"Steward Wang... regarding this matter of the Azure Dragon Hall's recruitment... does my family's good-for-nothing grandson have a chance?"

Hearing Cheng Yunfei's words, Steward Wang immediately laughed.

"Alright, Old Cheng, I knew you were waiting for me here."

"You also know that recruitment matters are tied to my performance. If I let just anyone in, what happens to my performance?"

Cheng Yunfei smilingly took out a ring and handed it to Steward Wang, saying.

"A small token of appreciation — please accept it, Steward Wang."

Steward Wang glanced at it, and the power of his divine soul surged in. When he saw clearly what was inside the Space Ring —

Steward Wang smiled faintly, accepted the Space Ring, and then said calmly.

"My side is taken care of, but appearances still need to be kept up. At least take first place, alright?"

Cheng Yunfei smiled slightly and said, "As long as your side agrees, Steward Wang, a mere first place — my good-for-nothing grandson can still manage that."

"It's just that I hope when the time comes, you, Steward Wang, can...."

Steward Wang gave Cheng Yunfei a deep look, smiled, and said.

"Naturally, naturally!"

For a moment, the two foxes exchanged smiles, both seeing the meaning in each other's eyes.

PS: Let me explain — I checked the feedback from the Qimao channel side, and some readers said the number of updated chapters has decreased. Previously, it was indeed five updates, and generally each update was two thousand words, so five updates meant ten thousand words.

But everyone can see that recently, although it's been three updates, the page count of each chapter is twice that of the previous chapters.

Now each chapter is four thousand words, and three updates means twelve thousand words.

Converted to the previous update volume, that's equivalent to six chapters.

It's not that I'm updating less — it's just that the word count per chapter has increased, and I can only write so many words per day. It's already two thousand words more than before.

After endless unconsciousness, Shi Yu abruptly sat up from the bed. Please,

He took great gulps of fresh air, his chest heaving.

Confusion, bewilderment — all kinds of emotions surged through his heart.

Where was this?

Then, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, and became even more bewildered.

A single-person dormitory?

Even if he had been successfully rescued, he should be in a hospital room right now.

And his body... how could it have not a single injury?

Puzzled, Shi Yu's gaze swept quickly across the room, ultimately settling on a mirror by the bedside.

The mirror reflected his current appearance — an age of about seventeen or eighteen, quite handsome.

But the problem was, this was not him! Read the latest chapter content free without ads

His former self was a handsome young man in his twenties with an extraordinary bearing, who had been working for some time.

But now, this face looked no matter how you looked at it like a high schooler's age...

This change left Shi Yu stunned for a long time.

Please don't tell him the surgery was successful...

His body and face had both changed — this was no longer a matter of surgery or not, but of immortal arts.

He had completely become another person!

Could it be... that he had transmigrated?

Besides the mirror by the bedside whose placement was clearly bad feng shui, Shi Yu also discovered three books nearby.

Shi Yu picked them up for a look, and the book titles instantly rendered him silent.

"Essential Beast-Rearing Handbook for Novice Keepers"

"Postpartum Care for Pet Beasts"

"A Guide to Appraising Beast-Eared Girls of Different Races"

Shi Yu:???

The first two books had normal titles, but what's wrong with the last one?

Cough.

Shi Yu's gaze turned grave, he reached out, but his arm soon stiffened.

Just as he tried to open the third book to see what it was, his brain was hit by a sudden stabbing pain, and a huge surge of memories flooded in like a tide.
