Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 208 – The mountains and rivers are different, the envoy of Great Qin

"Only after arriving in the Eastern Capital did I realize how vast the world is. Before, in Shuofang, I was like a frog at the bottom of a well, unable to see the sky."

In just over a month, Bai Yuelou's speech had improved significantly. He exclaimed, "Senior Brother, I was reluctant to leave Shuofang before, but now that I'm in the Eastern Capital, I'm glad I followed you. I've been learning and improving every day, making great progress compared to yesterday. So..."

"So?" Su Yun laughed.

Bai Yuelou said lightly, "I want to be your Senior Brother. What do you think?"

Su Yun burst out laughing.

Bai Yuelou laughed along, but as he did, he saw Su Yun grow taller and more majestic before his eyes, and he felt his own blood and energy being suppressed. His vision became distorted and formed an illusion...

In his eyes, Su Yun was like a god, shining with radiance and standing tall, while he himself was standing at Su Yun's feet, feeling incredibly small!

This was the illusion caused by the suppression of his blood and energy!

Su Yun's voice sounded like it came from beyond the sky, ethereal and profound, exploding in his mind, "Junior Brother Bai, break through my blood and energy suppression, and you will be qualified to challenge me. Can you do it?"

Bai Yuelou's forehead was covered in cold sweat as he clenched his teeth and desperately tried to stimulate his blood and energy.

If the difference in their cultivation levels was too great, they wouldn't even need to fight. They could just use blood and energy suppression to directly crush the weaker side into an idiot!

If he couldn't break through Su Yun's blood and energy suppression, he really had no right to challenge him!

Bai Yuelou's blood and energy flowed like the sun and moon, alternating between yin and yang, and at the same time, there was a strange transformation that seemed to be turning into a Tai Chi diagram.

Qiu Shuijing's transformation was not as good as Xue Shengren's in the realm of yin-yang transformation, but Bai Yuelou could be said to have inherited the strengths of both Qiu Shuijing and Xue Qingfu. Su Yun was even surprised by his rapid progress.

Bai Yuelou used the transformation of his blood and energy as an attack, charging forward and killing like a talent. Suddenly, he let out a long howl and finally broke through the blood and energy suppression that Su Yun had placed on him!

Bai Yuelou was overjoyed and burst out laughing, "Senior Brother, do I have the right to challenge you now?"

Although his body didn't move, he felt as if he had just gone through a life-and-death battle. Especially the final blow, which broke through Su Yun's blood and energy suppression, made him feel physically and mentally relaxed!

Su Yun sincerely praised, "Junior Brother Bai is already very strong."

Bai Yuelou was elated, but when he saw the distance between himself and Su Yun, his heart suddenly sank, "When did he get so far away? Even at such a distance, he can still suppress me. The gap between us..."

At this moment, there was a dull roar of a giant beast, and the ground shook. The roar formed a sound wave, causing the glazed tiles of the buildings on both sides of the street to shake and tremble!Su Yun and Bai Yuelou were shaken, their blood boiling. They both thought, "This beast is so strong, but if it roars like this in the capital, it will probably knock out a lot of people!"

Just as they were thinking this, they saw people falling to the ground in droves on the streets of the eighth level of Mount Yuhuang. Those who could still stand were mostly spiritualists, but even they were not doing well at the moment, their blood churning and causing them to vomit.

Su Yun looked towards the direction of the roar and saw many officers rushing forward, dragging the fainting people to the side of the street. Some officers whipped and drove away the spiritualists who were not fainting, shouting, "The envoy of Great Qin from overseas has come to visit and meet the emperor! Get out of the way quickly!"

Those who couldn't avoid the whip were hit mercilessly.

"Great Qin envoy?"

Su Yun asked, puzzled. "Junior brother, is Great Qin a foreign country?"

Bai Yuelou looked up and said, "Yes, there is such a country, extremely powerful. During the reign of Emperor Ai, General Yuan Shao suffered a loss due to an attack by Great Qin across the sea. There are rumors that if it weren't for the sea separating Great Qin and Yuan Shao, they would have been destroyed by Great Qin long ago."

Su Yun frowned.

"When the sage was young, he studied abroad in Great Qin," he said. "Qu Tai Chang also said that when he studied abroad, he went to Great Qin first."

Bai Yuelou said, "Great Qin is the strongest country across the ocean and also a new holy land of learning. It is said that there are many people in the original realm there, and there are even rumors that some have already reached the final step of cultivation and are exploring immortal methods!"

Just then, a giant sheep walked over, roaring earth-shatteringly as it went.

The giant sheep had little wool on its body, like a person turned into a sheep. Although it had a sheep's body, its skin was smooth like a human's, with fierce muscles and clay-like patterns on its body that were similar to the patterns of the Kui dragon.

The giant sheep had horns on its head, each of which was more than ten zhang long, swaying along the street and sweeping the houses on both sides, causing tiles to fly everywhere.

There were four pavilions in each bend of the sheep's horns, each with archers and spiritualists from the Western Regions, all with bows at the ready.

The buildings on the sheep's back were open-air, with a white tent in the middle and various spiritual weapons on both sides.

The envoys of Great Qin were sitting under the tent, dressed in luxurious clothes and showing off their wealth.

Su Yun and Bai Yuelou came to the side of the street, and Bai Yuelou said, "That's the Pan sheep. It is said that the ancestors of Great Qin were a woman who was admired by a heavenly god for her beauty. The god turned into a ram and had children with her, giving birth to the first king of Great Qin. Later, Great Qin worshipped the heavenly god and the Pan sheep as their ancestors. Before the rise of Great Qin, there was also a rebellion called 'sheep eating people' or something like that..."

"Sheep eating people?"

Su Yun was surprised and looked closely at the Pan sheep. They had human eyes and faces, sharp teeth, and were extremely fierce. These giant beasts could indeed eat people."I also heard from others that two hundred years ago, in the early years of the Martial Emperor, darkness descended upon Great Qin, and for thirty years there was no light. In the darkness, the Pan Yangs rebelled and devoured people everywhere. Great Qin built cities to defend against them and fought them fiercely."

Bai Yuelou said, "At that time, Great Qin was not as strong as us. Later, for some reason, they suddenly rose up and not only quelled the rebellion of the Pan Yangs, but also defeated us to the point where we were defeated and scattered."

The Great Qin envoy came all the way to the ninth level of the imperial city, but did not enter the city, and stopped outside the city.

At the top of the majestic Pan Yang building in the center, a white tent opened, and a young Semitic man stood in front of the tent with his arms open.

Two Semitic women in golden skirts bowed to him on the left and right, as if performing some ceremony.

Suddenly, the sky cracked open, and divine light descended from the sky!

Su Yun looked up and saw another world floating in the sky, the heavenly court where the immortals lived!

Suddenly, the gate of the heavenly court opened, and countless gods sat on the large and small palaces in the heavenly court, solemn and dignified, with a god-king in the center.

"Could it be the Heavenly Court God's Guiding Chapter?"

Su Yun's heart moved slightly. The Heavenly Court God's Guiding Chapter taught to him by Ying Ying was the Western technique brought back by Qiu Shuijing when he studied abroad. However, the Heavenly Court God's Guiding Chapter only had the Guiding Chapter for the Foundation Establishment Realm, and it was impossible to cultivate it to a high level.

But the envoy of this Semitic man was young, and his cultivation was extremely powerful. His Heavenly Court God's Guiding Chapter was extremely powerful, obviously not a technique for the Foundation Establishment Realm.

"The overseas Great Unification Technique!"

Su Yun's face became serious. He used the Dao Gate Heavenly Eye to look and thought, "Moreover, the overseas Great Unification Technique's progress is even faster than that of Yuanshuo!"

His Dao Gate Heavenly Eye looked at the gate of the heavenly court in the sky and suddenly his heart shook.

He actually saw various gods and demons on the gate of the heavenly court that was opened, like the gods and demons branded on the Eight-Faced Heavenly Gate!

"Could it be that the Semitic people overseas have also created something similar to the Eight-Faced Heavenly Gate?"

Su Yun used the Dao Gate Heavenly Eye to look at the heavenly court of the young Semitic man, but saw that the gods in the heavenly court were as real as they could be.

His Dao Gate Heavenly Eye fell on one of the gods, and that god seemed to sense something and lowered his head to look at him!

Su Yun's Dao Gate Heavenly Eye instantly shattered, and black blood flowed from his forehead!

Su Yun was shocked in his heart, "It's bad! The Heavenly Court God's Guiding Chapter is not fake, but there is really a god in it!"

His spiritual realm suddenly shook violently, as if there was a huge monster grabbing his breath and invading him along his breath!

Ying Ying was practicing in his spiritual realm, and suddenly saw Su Yun's spiritual realm space distort, and the Qi from the seventy-two caves in his spiritual realm surged violently. A huge face appeared in Su Yun's spiritual realm and squeezed towards him.

The face opened its mouth, and its voice thundered and rolled back and forth in Su Yun's spiritual realm, "Who are you, daring to spy on the heavenly court?"

Outside the sky, a giant hand reached down and grabbed Su Yun's spiritual soul!

Ying Ying was stunned, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and shouted, "Qingyu Town! Qingyu Town!"

In Su Yun's spiritual realm, numerous runes suddenly appeared, and darkness swept over, shrouding the face of the heavenly god.

At the same time, outside the imperial city, the young envoy from Da Qin seemed to be blessed by the gods of the heavenly court, with various gods showering him with divine light and blessings. He proclaimed loudly, "Envoy of Da Qin, requesting an audience with Emperor Yuanshuo! As the ruler of all under heaven, please lead your officials and people to pay homage to the holy king of the heavenly court!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sky began to violently shake, and a celestial being from the heavenly court suddenly twisted and contorted, grabbed by large hands that seemed to come from nowhere and dragged into the darkness!

The gods of the heavenly court were all stunned for a moment.

Over in Tianmen Town, the clouds were dark and dismal, shrouding the small town.

At this moment, a group of gods and demons in the town all looked up and seemed to sense something, all turning their gaze towards the direction of the capital.

"There's another new god or demon, it seems like we can barely keep them under control..."

Qu Bo, the Minister of Rites, had a worried expression on his face as he whispered, "We've already sealed ninety-six of them, and with this one, it will be ninety-seven..."
