Chapter 240 Su Yun Returns
Boom!
Feng Xuanyi's Thunder Talismans rained down like raindrops, sparking millions of bolts of lightning on the protective array.
In that instant, the dazzling white light even made the sun lose its luster.
The heavens and earth trembled precariously, and the capital city of Daqian shook violently as well.
The Shenqian Guards standing at the array point froze, as if countless heavy hammers had struck their chests, and their faces turned pale.
Those suspended generals, gazing at the millions of bolts of lightning, felt a chill run down their spines, their palms sweating profusely.
Only a saint can contend with a saint; without help, this protective array will not last long.
In the past, the sages of the Great Qian Dynasty would have already taken action to stabilize the great formation.
In particular, the chief inspector was in charge of mobilizing the nation's fortunes and overseeing all directions.
When foreign enemies invade, he will act as a stabilizing force, prioritizing the safety of Qiandu, the core of the Great Qian Dynasty.
But now, neither the supervisor has made a move, nor has anyone in the Holy Realm who remained in Qiandu.
Even the generals, at this moment, disregarded their unease and stared in astonishment at one spot.
The instant Feng Xuanyi's Thunder Talisman fell, a burst of intense flames erupted from there!
Yi Fang Garden, a royal estate!
Not only was the Empress Dowager there, but the Emperor himself had also arrived in full view of everyone, riding a divine ox.
That place is of utmost importance and protects countless beings.
It was under these circumstances that a dazzling burst of light was ignited.
Regardless of whether they were friend or foe, a strange thought couldn't help but arise in their minds: Who dares to attack the imperial carriage, who can get close to the imperial carriage!
But in the next instant, that worry turned into shock.
who is it?
Who stirred up this earth-shattering national destiny!
Long!
Inside Yifang Garden, the once tranquil air suddenly became heavy, as if the whole world had stopped for a moment.
The birds and beasts in the jungle turned around in fright, spread their wings and limbs, but dared not move, let alone run.
The next instant, an invisible yet tangible aura exploded from the center of the Purple Light Forest.
The howling wind swept through the crowd, yet failed to stir even a single strand of hair.
But no matter who it was, it felt like their heart had been violently struck.
In that instant, even those in the Holy Realm were frozen in place.
"It is... the fate of the nation!" Emperor Qian was shocked.
The power that can freeze a Saint in place must be powerful enough to far surpass that realm.
Either the quality and quantity are both so large that they can overwhelm everything!
And the fate of the nation is one of them!
"Roar--!"
"babble--!"
"Whistle—!"
A dragon, shining like gold, and a phoenix, crimson like the sun, appeared at the same time, circling around Yifang Garden.
The grass and trees swayed without wind, and the snow-white Qilin, an auspicious beast, treaded on auspicious clouds, with lotus flowers blooming beneath its hooves.
Golden rivers surged forth, mingling with the pure air of heaven and earth, scattering clusters of dazzling rainbow clouds.
These things are not physical entities, but astonishingly complex phenomena!
Surprisingly, none of these numerous sacred realms sensed the presence of the other sacred realm.
In other words, the person who caused the anomaly was not very powerful!
"Who is it?!" Luo Hanjiang exclaimed in surprise.
Minister Li gazed at the center of the purple-lighted forest surging with power, and couldn't help but exclaim in delight: "The fate of the nation?"
"Your Majesty, they are our own people!"
The nation's fortunes are already as strong as those of the capital.
To be able to gather such a massive force in the Great Qian Dynasty, one must be either a member of the royal family or a high-ranking official; in any case, they must be one of our own!
"No..." But Emperor Qian dared not relax at all, his eyebrows furrowed.
He discovered that he could not control or grasp the fate of the nation!
Emperor Qian muttered to himself, "I can't sense that person's presence, as if he transcends cause and effect, and is not within the Five Elements!"
"Who is it?"
Xi Yaoyue's beautiful eyes widened. While she was shocked by this power, she felt a sense of familiarity when she heard what Emperor Qian said.
"Can't tell the difference?"
"Beyond causality?"
"Could it be..."
hum!
In the heart of the Purple Light Forest, the immense national destiny seems to originate from another world.
Like a water balloon under excessive pressure, it frantically releases its energy.
Finally, as the pressure gradually evened out, the last burst of force shot out and slammed hard into the Empress Dowager.
"Empress Dowager!" Emperor Qian exclaimed in surprise.
Even though the force was invisible, the Empress Dowager was still knocked back repeatedly.
She waved her hand: "I...I'm fine."
Emperor Qian had a strange feeling; this last wisp of national fortune seemed somewhat familiar…
Just then, a serene gate of light slowly opened.
An ordinary stone-paved road appeared before everyone's eyes.
"Ask the Way of the Heart!" Granny Li exclaimed.
The path of self-examination, hidden by Master Hongjue and forbidden to outsiders, has appeared!
The royals raised their eyebrows, their hearts trembling.
If one were to ask about the path of one's heart, wouldn't it be...?
despair!
At the end of the stone path, Su Yun, supporting himself on the ethereal portal, stepped out.
He looked up and saw countless eyes staring at him, and couldn't help but wonder, "Huh, why is everyone here?"
Swish!
Xi Yaoyue transformed into a soft moonlight and appeared before Su Yun in the blink of an eye.
With tears welling in her eyes, she suddenly hugged him tightly: "Yun'er, my Yun'er!"
call out!
Mo Ling reacted quickly, stepping on the frost-covered path and rushing forward to hug her mother and younger brother.
"Yun'er, you..."
"You brat, why didn't you tell your sister!"
"You scared me to death!"
She raised her hand, but still couldn't bear to give her younger brother two sharp raps on the head.
Su Changge opened his mouth wide, and after a long while, he revealed a knowing smile.
It’s okay if it’s okay, it’s okay if it’s okay.
Su Yun had expected it, but she was still pleasantly surprised when she actually saw it: "Mother, Third Sister, you have become saints?"
Xi Yaoyue, still carrying her lingering worry, said, "Nothing can compare to you!"
"Let Mother see if you're hurt."
She didn't care that there were outsiders present; she wanted to examine Su Yun thoroughly, turning her over and over.
Seeing that there were no external injuries, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as I relaxed, tears of grievance and lingering fear streamed down my face.
"Don't you dare run around like that again, I promise I'll treat you well... You brat, you made your mother cry! I'll give you a good beating when we get back!"
Just as Mo Ling was about to burst into tears of joy, she saw her mother's sadness and pinched Su Yun so hard that Su Yun cried out.
Seeing this hilarious scene, Xi Yaoyue burst into laughter through her tears.
Emperor Qian looked at Su Yun, who had suddenly appeared, and exclaimed with delight, "You're back!"
"Ha, I knew he could come back!"
He was overjoyed, but his biggest worry today was Su Yun's safety.
The Path of Inquiry is not dangerous, but as a prodigy who has entered and walked through seven steps, Emperor Qian naturally knows the physical and mental toll it takes on him.
With each step, one can spend years in the illusion.
Even mentally mature adults can lose their way between reality and illusion, becoming lost in the dream world and ultimately exhausting their minds.
Such young children have very little time left in the world.
Spending time in a fantasy world can easily exceed one's original age.
This makes it even more difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake!
Upon seeing Su Yun emerge, Emperor Qian was happier than anyone else: "I knew it, little Su Yun is a lucky man, blessed by the heavens!"
"As expected, you returned safely!"
Minister Li, Luo Hanjiang, and the others breathed a long sigh of relief, their faces beaming with joy: "Good, it's good that you're safe!"
They had all witnessed Su Yun's extraordinary abilities, but they also knew that exceptional talent did not guarantee their safety in the long run.
"It seems that Su Yun is very smart and did not challenge the Path of Inquiry."
Emperor Qian did not see Master Hongjue. In the past, this holy monk from a thousand years ago would always see people off and at least exchange a few words with them.
But this time, he didn't appear; Su Yun came out all alone.
Regardless, Emperor Qian felt relieved and turned to ask, "Lord Zhenyuan, are you at ease now?"
