Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 251 – What is beyond the boundary?

Su Yun was skeptical of the Azure Dragon's words, which had an evil charm of apostasy, but were different from true apostasy and instead made sense.

"If we were to go back to the beginning of the realm's creation, or even before it, would there be more choices?"

Su Yun blinked his eyes. "For example, building a house. If we abandon our current understanding of houses and design from scratch, can't we create all sorts of strange and unique buildings? Some may be usable, while others may not. We can select the usable ones and develop them, and their forms will certainly be vastly different from current houses."

"Or take writing. If we abandon our current writing system and redesign it, wouldn't the form of the writing be more reasonable? Or perhaps divination, or physics, or anything else. When designing from scratch, wouldn't there be many possibilities that differ from the present?"

"Is the realm the same?"

His knowledge was shallow, and as his cultivation grew deeper, he became increasingly aware of his shortcomings.

But Su Yun never considered that when he was ignorant and naive, he had directly crossed the Foundation Establishment realm and visualized the Yellow Bell, and had cultivated to the Nascent Soul realm without knowing what realms or abilities were, let alone how to cultivate them.

He was just naive and naturally refined the Yellow Bell.

In contrast, as he learned more about cultivation, Foundation Establishment, and Nascent Soul, his cultivation and strength gradually improved, but he lost the intuition he had when he was ignorant and naive.

The more he learned, the more he realized his ignorance.

"Perhaps Azure Dragon's words are really sensible."

He began to frantically mobilize Azure Dragon's power and fill it into his own Azure Dragon form.

The power in his body soon surpassed the limits of his flesh. Although he had been transformed into an Azure Dragon by Azure Dragon's qi, he had not yet reached the level of surpassing the limits of the Nascent Soul realm. However, this time he directly borrowed the power of the divine beast Azure Dragon and directly broke through the limit!

In Su Yun's understanding, the flesh was the carrier of cultivation. When cultivation surpassed the limit that the flesh could bear, the burden on the flesh began to increase, endangering one's life!

Unless one directly shed blood or wasted cultivation, one could only preserve their life!

But the changes brought about by his Azure Dragon form made him somewhat incomprehensible.

He felt that his limbs and bones were frantically absorbing Azure Dragon's power. The Azure Dragon's power absorbed by his body was filled into the bones, refined into the marrow, hidden in the dragon's eyes, and refined by the runes hidden in the dragon's eyes.

It was also absorbed by the dragon scales. The dragon scales had a natural array of runes that refined the Azure Dragon's power and strengthened the power of the dragon scales.

The Azure Dragon's power also soaked into the internal organs, strengthening the lungs and heart, and enhancing the circulation of qi and blood.

The Azure Dragon's power also soaked into the blood, making the qi and blood in the body even more vigorous.

The Azure Dragon's power also soaked into the muscles and tendons, refining the claws and teeth, condensing the dragon's whiskers and mane, refining the phoenix wings and golden feathers, and strengthening various parts of the body.In this way, his body continued to strengthen inside and out, accommodating more and more spiritual power. As more spiritual power surged in, his physical strength was once again enhanced!

His body formed a unique cycle, leaving Su Yun somewhat confused.

His current cultivation level had surpassed his inherent understanding, completely contradicting his learned knowledge and common sense!

In his inherent understanding, the physical body had its limits. Once spiritual power reached a certain level and the physical body reached a certain degree of enhancement, it would no longer be able to continue improving, and must break through to the next realm.

For example, in the Foundation Establishment realm, after reaching a certain level, no matter how strong the physical body was cultivated, spiritual power would not increase much more. One must open up a spiritual realm, cultivate the spirit, and use the spiritual realm to accommodate more spiritual power while refining the spirit.

Once the spirit was cultivated to a certain level, one needed to refine the spiritual energy into Dan Yuan, called Elemental Movement.

When the elemental energy cultivation reached its limit, the spiritual realm could no longer accommodate more, so one must open up a large abyss.

The abyss melted the elemental energy and spirit, turning them into Li Zhu, hence it was called the Li Yuan realm.

Li Yuan opened up an immeasurable and unfathomable space, seized the elemental energy of heaven and earth, and transformed the Li Zhu into a spirit called Tian Xiang.

Tian Xiang spirits were extremely vast, theoretically capable of growing into an infinitely large spirit, hence they could accommodate more cultivation.

These were the realms of Foundation Establishment, Spiritual Cultivation, Elemental Movement, Li Yuan, and Tian Xiang.

However, it seemed that the realm became blurred when it came to Ying Long.

"Ying Long seems to have another form of civilization, completely different from the form of civilization based on the realm."

Su Yun's mind flashed, shaking his neck, one neck after another grew out, turning into nine heads, half Ying Long and half Xiang Liu, instantly increasing his thinking speed!

"The realm established by the Holy Emperor is based on the spirit, and the purpose of cultivation is to enhance the spirit;

"However, Ying Long's form of civilization is based on the physical body, and the purpose of cultivation is to enhance the physical body and spiritual power;

"The body of this kind of god and demon, after being inherited from generation to generation, has various rune arrays that can refine the elemental energy of heaven and earth;

"These rune arrays are directly inherited through reproduction. When cultivating, they will make the body stronger and contain more spiritual power;

"But the cultivation in the realm system established by the Holy Emperor cannot be inherited by the spirit like the physical body;

"That is to say, the system of realms established by the Holy Emperor cannot encompass all paths of cultivation. The Holy Emperor's system is just one of them.

"If one can summarize a set of cultivation system like Ying Long, perhaps it would be an achievement like that of a sage or even a Holy Emperor!"With his nine heads, his thought process was extremely fast. Even Ying Ying in his spiritual realm was bombarded by his magnificent thoughts and had to frantically record them.

In fact, Su Yun's vision had already surpassed that of most spiritual masters in the world. He was able to achieve this due to standing on the shoulders of Ying Long, who lifted him to this height and allowed him to see realms that he couldn't see before.

Despite Su Yun's many insights, he could still feel that Ying Long's power was infinite. Ying Long's power ocean was boundless, leaving him shocked.

In the short time that he chased after Qiu Shuijing and Di Ping, Su Yun had borrowed a terrifying power almost equivalent to the Tian Xiang realm from the divine dragon Ying Long!

But to Ying Long, this was just a drop in the bucket!

His physical and magical powers were still increasing, and his speed was getting faster and faster. He finally caught up with Qiu Shuijing and Di Ping, who were in the midst of fighting!

Di Ping used the Six Imperial Arts of the Yuan Family, increasing the Five Imperial Arts of the Yuan Family to Six Imperial Arts. At this moment, the Five Imperial Arts were like five great demons, each with its own unique characteristics. In the blink of an eye, the heavens and the earth shattered, causing Qiu Shuijing to retreat continuously without any resistance, only able to defend himself!

Su Yun vibrated his wings and chased after the two with all his might. He scanned his gaze over them and saw that Qiu Shuijing had a methodical approach even while defending himself.

Because he was worried that the two's divine abilities would harm innocent people in the Eastern Capital, Qiu Shuijing kept retreating towards the sky and led Di Ping towards the sky.

Looking out into the sky, Su Yun saw that the reason Qiu Shuijing was able to hold on until now was mainly due to a sailboat seventy-seven thousand miles away gathering the world's essence for him, allowing his cultivation to remain at its peak!

The sailboat continuously adjusted its position and orientation, moving with Qiu Shuijing's movements, providing him with abundant and magnificent power.

However, Qiu Shuijing's strength was far behind Di Ping's.

Di Ping was too powerful. His Six Imperial Arts treated him as another Holy Emperor, commanding the other Holy Emperors!

The other five Holy Emperors were just his furnace, just nutrients in his furnace used to strengthen his own power!

The last time Su Yun fought against Di Ping, his Six Imperial Arts were not yet perfect and had significant flaws. But now, when Su Yun looked at his Six Imperial Arts, he realized that Qiu Shuijing had taught Di Ping more advanced furnace-changing techniques.

Di Ping was Qiu Shuijing's direct disciple and had learned the furnace-changing technique from him.

Qiu Shuijing had never taught other scholars as seriously as he had taught Di Ping. He had never placed as much hope on other scholars as he did on Di Ping.Even Su Yun, whom he had once wanted to take as his disciple, had never had such high expectations, efforts, and hopes.

It was precisely because Di Ping had obtained these changes in the Honglu furnace that his cultivation strength had soared, reaching a level far beyond Qiu Shuijing's!

Su Yun even felt a bit jealous of Di Ping.

Di Ping did not cherish Qiu Shuijing's teachings, nor did he cherish Qiu Shuijing's trust and expectations. And this was exactly what Su Yun had hoped for but could not obtain!

Yet, Di Ping abandoned it like an old shoe.

Su Yun also saw the Chaotianque technique in Di Ping's divine ability, and the fusion of the Chaotianque technique made the Great Unification technique even more perfect!

Of course, he learned these Chaotianque techniques from Xue Qingfu. Xue Qingfu did not teach him everything to control Di Ping and kept a lot of things to himself.

"Moreover, Xue Qingfu does not have a complete Eight-Faced Chaotianque. The Eighth-Faced Chaotianque was given to me by Mr. Shuijing."

Su Yun caught up with the two of them, watching their fight and thought to himself, "Mr. Shuijing did not teach him the complete Honglu furnace changes and held back some things."

This made him slightly relieved.

Even so, Di Ping was unexpectedly powerful!

Di Ping himself had never made a move, and it was only the Five-Elemental Demon Gods who attacked Qiu Shuijing, leaving him unable to resist and injured repeatedly!

If it weren't for that celestial sailboat, Qiu Shuijing would have been seriously injured and unable to continue fighting!

"I will surely die if I go up now!"

Su Yun used the Dragon Eye to make a judgment, "I need to raise my level to a level similar to the Saintly Realm..."

"Then you will surely die."

The voice of the Dragon responded. Su Yun suddenly felt his eyes become extremely clear and knew that the Dragon was using his eyes to observe the battle between Qiu Shuijing and Di Ping behind the Tianmen gate in Qingyu Town. He quickly said, "Old brother, why do you say that I will surely die..."

He stopped talking here.

In his field of vision, Di Ping and Qiu Shuijing's various divine abilities instantly turned into runes or arrays, with various data densely covering the sky. Even the Five-Elemental Demon Gods and their Imperial Armaments had various rune arrays!

Su Yun immediately saw the gap between Qiu Shuijing's divine abilities and Di Ping's.

Qiu Shuijing had a huge gap in the quality of his divine abilities compared to Di Ping.

Moreover, Di Ping's cultivation was even more powerful, with a power similar to the Original Dao Realm!

If Su Yun relied on the power of the Dragon to raise himself to the level of the Saintly Realm, he still would not be able to match Di Ping if he did not use all of the Dragon's power to reach the Original Dao Realm!

Furthermore, Di Ping had not used his full power yet. His true body had never made a move, and he had not even used the other four Holy Emperor Spiritual Weapons!

"Mr. Shuijing!"Su Yun chased after the two while mobilizing his Qi to manifest a series of rune arrays in the sky, shouting, "Look here!"

He manifested Qiu Shuijing's divine ability and the flaws in the Heavenly Sailboat, which he had observed and modified when the Azure Dragon first appeared.

At the same time, he also crazily mobilized the Azure Dragon's power to strengthen his own body, preparing to catch up with the two at a faster speed and fight against Di Ping.

"It's useless."

The Azure Dragon's voice came, "You are just wasting my power. Young man, only I can defeat this person who has already fallen into demonic ways. You have no chance of winning."

"It's possible!"

Su Yun gritted his teeth and suddenly mobilized his power. The Dragon-Phoenix Golden Ring hanging around his neck rotated and flew up with a howl. The holy emperor spirit weapon turned into a dragon and a phoenix, passing each other from left to right and striking Di Ping.

Di Ping remained motionless, turned his head, and glanced at him expressionlessly.
