143: Chapter 143 The Inspiration of Heaven and Earth!

The night was deep and still.

Su Rui took out that Medicinal Pill of Creation and swallowed it without hesitation.

The Medicinal Pill dissolved upon entering his stomach, and a cold, clear breath rose from his Dantian, surging like a spring and flowing through all the meridians of his body.

His mind was clearer than ever before; the many Cultivation Techniques he had learned in the past surfaced in his heart one by one, clearly organized and suddenly connected.

Wisps of clear Qi slowly flowed into Su Rui's body.

Indeed, it was the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.

Su Rui was completely unaware that the outside world had already undergone a sudden change.

The Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.

The clouds in the sky were stirred by wild winds, gradually forming a huge vortex, like a giant mouth inverted above the firmament, devouring the breath from all directions.

Spiritual Qi gathered from all eight directions, as if drawn by some invisible force, pouring into the depths of the vortex.

This phenomenon was too astonishing, instantly attracting the attention of countless people.

Two figures in the distance sped over, then suddenly stopped.

"What happened?"

Looking at the cloud pillar that connected Heaven and Earth, Empress Wu's pupils constricted slightly, and a trace of astonishment flashed in her eyes.

Zhu Yuyan also had a solemn expression, her brows filled with shock.

Although it was late at night, the moonlight was as bright as day.

Under the cold moonlight, the clouds high in the sky condensed into a massive rotating funnel, stirring the firmament slowly yet fiercely.

It appeared to be turning slowly, but it was actually astonishingly fast—only because its scale was so vast, like a mountain suspended above the Nine Heavens, causing awe at the sight and an unbearable pressure in one's heart.

"I do not know either."

Hearing Empress Wu's question, Zhu Yuyan shook her head gently.

They had never seen such a strange sight, so it was naturally difficult to guess the reason.

"It seems that a peerless expert has emerged."

Empress Wu pondered for a moment and spoke in a low voice.

Zhu Yuyan's body trembled, and her eyes brightened suddenly.

The two of them were originally heading to Tianqi, but this sentence made her heart stir.

An expert?

How many people in the world could trigger such a celestial phenomenon?

In an instant, she already had a guess in her heart, a flash of fervor in her eyes, and her figure flashed, heading straight towards the bottom of the cloud vortex.

Empress Wu was slightly stunned, then seemed to realize something, and soared into the air to follow closely behind.

Inside Tianqi City, countless experts were startled.

Although they could not perceive the flow of Spiritual Qi, as martial artists, their five senses were exceptionally keen, and they could still sense that the Qi around them was crazily surging towards a place in the distance.

Figures leaped onto rooftops and climbed city walls, standing dumbfounded as they looked up at the giant cloud pillar falling from the horizon a hundred miles away.

"What... is this?"

Someone murmured, their voice dry, like a whisper squeezed from the depths of their throat.

This sight was too terrifying, making people feel suffocated.

"It must be the work of a top-tier expert!"

Black and White Profound Blade gripped his twin swords tightly, his tone firm.

But before he finished speaking, his shoulders relaxed, and his Battle Intent vanished completely.

Facing such power, he couldn't even form the thought of resistance.

Many people had already realized that this change in Heaven and Earth was very likely caused by human activity, and they all turned their gazes towards the direction of Qingyun Terrace, guessing what kind of person was hidden there.

Emperor Mingde looked solemn, staring at the cloud vortex in the distance that covered the sky and sun, and asked slowly: "Who do you think triggered this phenomenon? Could it be someone from the Demonic Cult?"

The three supervisors guarded him on the left and right, their expressions changing upon hearing this.

"Your Majesty, if it is indeed caused by a person, this person must belong to the Peak of the current world and would definitely not be without a trace." Jin Wei said, cupping his hands in report.

"Indeed.

Not long ago, that person just headed towards the direction of Qingyun Terrace..."

"Su Rui?" Emperor Mingde narrowed his eyes and spat out this name.

"It is him." Although Jin Xian had not seen it himself, he still treated him with respect, not daring to call him by his name, only referring to him as "that person."

"Go investigate quickly.

This person's actions are always unexpected.

Does the State Preceptor have this ability?" Emperor Mingde's tone was deep.

"The State Preceptor probably cannot.

Even if he exhausted all his strength, he might be able to disturb the celestial phenomena slightly, but to affect such a vast area, even if he stepped into the Divine Roaming Profound Realm, I am afraid it would be difficult to achieve." Jin Xian thought for a moment and reported truthfully.

Emperor Mingde nodded slightly.

...

"I really cannot do it."

The State Preceptor held his horsetail whisk, staring at the huge, churning cloud vortex on the horizon, his expression shocked.

Beside him, Head of the Five Grand Eunuchs and Former Head of the Five Grand Eunuchs also showed expressions of shock.

It was just now that the Head of the Five Grand Eunuchs had asked the question.

After all, the Cultivation Technique he and the Former Head of the Five Grand Eunuchs practiced both focused on defeating enemies and winning, while the martial arts the State Preceptor mastered were slightly inclined towards mysterious arts, close to magical methods, which was why he had this doubt.

But the State Preceptor just shook his head.

"Minor arts like summoning clouds and bringing rain, I can still manage to perform one or two.

But this kind of phenomenon that shakes Heaven and Earth, let alone now, even in the future, if I really step through the Divine Roaming Realm, it would be absolutely impossible to achieve." His tone was firm, without any concealment.

"Then who does the State Preceptor think it is?"

The Former Head of the Five Grand Eunuchs' gaze fell below the cloud vortex, where the Langya Army camp was vaguely visible.

But he knew it was definitely not Xiao Ruofeng.

That person had not yet reached the Great Carefree Realm, so how could he have such heaven-reaching means?

The State Preceptor looked at the depths of the vortex and sighed softly: "Who else could it be? Except for that person, who else could it be?"

The State Preceptor sighed gently, a bitter smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

The Former Head of the Five Grand Eunuchs was stunned on the spot, unable to react for a moment.

It was the Head of the Five Grand Eunuchs, who had been injured by Su Rui before, whose expression suddenly changed.

"Could the State Preceptor be talking about... him?"

"Who on earth is it?" The Former Head of the Five Grand Eunuchs' tone already carried a bit of impatience, his brows tightly furrowed.

The two of them were talking back and forth, sounding mysterious, which made him feel annoyed and confused.

"It is the person who caught us off guard in the imperial city before." The Head of the Five Grand Eunuchs said in a low voice, his tone revealing helplessness and awe.

The Former Head of the Five Grand Eunuchs' pupils constricted: "The one from Snow Moon City who runs a martial arts hall? He actually has this ability?"

He almost couldn't believe his ears.

A person of his status usually disdained martial arts instructors or folk experts.

But who would have thought that among a group of ordinary people, a dormant beast was actually hidden.

This gap made his heart feel suffocated.

Such an expert, instead of contending for the world, was content with teaching apprentices and practicing fists, which was truly incomprehensible.

If it were him, the Former Head of the Five Grand Eunuchs, who had this cultivation, wouldn't he have long been hiding behind the scenes, controlling the universe?

However, he only dared to mutter these words quietly in his heart.

At this time, the Langya Army camp was fully armored and arrayed.

Xiao Ruofeng stood in front of the formation, looking up at the huge vortex in the sky that was churning and seemed to be collapsing, his expression as solemn as iron.

"Senior Brother, what exactly is going on?" Lei Mengsha leaped to his side, his voice full of shock and doubt.

Xiao Ruofeng smiled bitterly and shook his head, raising his hand to point at the row of lonely tents set up in the distance.

"It's useless for you to ask me about this; I'm afraid it's the commotion caused by your son-in-law."

Lei Mengsha was stunned on the spot, scratching his head with a bewildered face.

"What? What did you say? That thing in the sky... was created by him?"

Before he finished speaking, Li Hanyi and the others also walked out of the tents one after another, looking up at the sky.

And the core of the vortex was hanging right above the tent where Su Rui lived.

"Teacher... what happened to him?"

Li Hanyi's eyes were full of worry, and she wanted to rush over as soon as she moved her feet, but was grabbed by Yin Luoxia.

"Don't be impulsive! Teacher must be comprehending some supreme Realm, and he must not be disturbed at this moment!"

Although Yin Luoxia's tone was firm, she was not entirely sure in her heart.

But she knew that Su Rui was in a very critical state at this moment and could not tolerate any disturbance.

Her words slightly steadied everyone's minds, but the anxiety between their brows had not yet dissipated.

Just at this moment, two figures sped over like shooting stars, dragging long lingering light in the air.

"Who is it?"

Yin Luoxia became vigilant instantly, and the snow rainbow silk flew out, protecting everyone in the center like a barrier.

The hanguang sword in Li Hanyi's hand was already unsheathed by half an inch, its cold light piercing.

But when she saw the faces of the people who came, Mu Liangyue's expression stalled, and then she tensed her body.

"Zhu Yuyan of the Yin Gui Sect? What are you doing here?"

After the other women recognized her identity, all of them changed color, and their breathing became rapid.

However, Zhu Yuyan seemed to turn a deaf ear.

Her gaze swept over the crowd and finally fell below the vortex, deep worry immediately rising in her eyes.

She folded her hands in front of her chest, her footsteps moving slightly, as if she wanted to get closer, but hesitated and did not move forward, fearing to disturb something.

This scene left Mu Liangyue and the others confused—how could this Queen of Yin, who had always been cold and ruthless, show such an anxious expression?

Looking at her appearance, she was even more worried about Su Rui than they were.

Empress Wu's gaze slowly swept over Yin Luoxia and the others, a flash of amazement in her eyes.

Each one was a martial arts prodigy with outstanding talent.

Especially that little girl who looked only four or five years old; her bones were clear and strange, and at a glance, she was a one-in-ten-thousand talent.

Such a seedling would make any master looking for an apprentice feel moved.

After a slight look, her gaze moved to the neat and solemn army in the distance.

The iron armor was stern, the Aura was like an abyss, clearly an elite force that had fought a hundred battles.

Killing Intent permeated, and even from a distance, one could feel its pressure.

Finally, her gaze fell back on the huge vortex above the firmament that connected Heaven and Earth.

"Senior Sister, there is no need to worry too much," she said softly, "Such a phenomenon is mostly caused by someone breaking through their limits and comprehending the supreme Dao of Martial Arts."

"But... there is also the risk of falling."

Zhu Yuyan murmured, her voice trembling slightly, which even she had not noticed.

Empress Wu's heart trembled.

That Senior Sister, who had never bowed her head in her life and would rather break than bend, could actually show such a weak side.

In the past, this was simply unimaginable.

It turned out that there was really an existence in the world that could shake her heart—perhaps, only the word 'love' could cause cracks in a heart of iron and stone.

While she was thinking, the tent directly below the vortex suddenly exploded!

A figure broke out of the tent, light flowing around his body, as if descending from the Nine Heavens.

Accompanied by a clear sword hum, a silver light soared from the ruins, swirling lightly, and then stopped beside that person, following like a shadow.

Empress Wu's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the figure bathed in Brilliance.

Although she could not see his face clearly, his slender figure and elegant bearing already made her heart flutter, as if she were seeing an Immortal descend to the world.

Everyone's gaze involuntarily gathered on the figure standing in the air.

Li Hanyi and others exclaimed, their eyes full of concern and anxiety.

Lei Mengsha opened his mouth wide, his eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets.

"Oh my dear mother... my son-in-law... could he be ascending to become an Immortal?"

As soon as the words fell, he received a slap on his forehead.

Xiao Ruofeng helplessly patted the back of his Senior Brother's head, but his gaze remained locked on the figure that soared into the sky.

The Demonic Cult army was still moving forward.
