CHAPTER 1790: CHAPTER 1791 DRAGON RISING LAND

The nature’s spiritual energy swirled like a vortex beside Chang Li. Upon entering her body, it circled her Demon Core, forming a certain scale of vortex before gradually merging into the Demon Core.

Although Su Chengyu didn’t have a deep understanding of the cultivation methods of the Demon Clan, the speed accumulated by Chang Li at this moment was enough for Su Chengyu to confirm that this was not a speed that ordinary cultivation could achieve.

"My lord... what did you say to this little fox?"

The Tiger Demon beneath him obviously noticed the anomaly here and tentatively asked Su Chengyu.

However, a cold glance from Su Chengyu immediately made the Tiger Demon shut its mouth, not daring to glance over again.

Su Chengyu did not directly inquire Chang Li, instead, he recalled what had happened earlier, thinking of examples he had seen in ancient texts.

Ancient people understood principles and divided them into ten parts.

Seeking longevity comes second, seeking principles comes first.

There were ancestors who entered the Dao through skills.

Using nine Chapters to calculate heaven’s numbers, seeking the principles of heaven and earth’s dimensions, and thereby achieving enlightenment.

In even more distant times, various schools sought knowledge through the harmony of heaven, earth, and humanity, with numerous principles clashing.

That’s the era later praised as the contention of a hundred schools, where the Dao became known to the world.

Seeking immortality and the Dao transitioned from an era almost monopolized by the Ancient Clan to a time when ordinary people had a path to seek the Dao.

But these tales and stories had long been completely buried in the passage of time.

Even in today’s four major Daoist sects, no one knew how the ancestors truly embarked on the path of cultivation seeking knowledge and the Dao.

At this moment, Su Chengyu seemed to have understood a bit.

He looked around, at this piece of heaven and earth almost devoid of any human footprints, his insights born from his heart.

The Dao of heaven and earth lies in dimensions, the omnipresent rules of dimension are the most primitive path treaded by the Human Clan.

"It turns out it’s not the method that changed, it’s the environment."

Making him exclaim, Su Chengyu couldn’t help but speak softly, reaching out to feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, finally confirming his inner speculation.

In the original world, the reason why the ancients’ pursuit of knowledge and Dao couldn’t lead ordinary people to enlightenment wasn’t because of methodological issues.

But due to the impacts brought by successive End of Dharma Tribulations.

As spiritual energy continuously dwindled, the Spiritual Energy that once could gather upon oneself just by inquiring principles could no longer achieve its intended effect in today’s era.

In this different place, in this world that hasn’t faced the End of Dharma Tribulation, even the simplest principles are a part of the heavenly principles, and diving deeply into it is the most basic cultivation method to gather the Spiritual Energy upon oneself.

What Su Chengyu did just now seemed like merely explaining the meaning of a name to the little fox, yet the so-called name has already been step by step sedimented through Xia Country’s millenniums of history, aligning with the heavenly numbers’ principles.

As Chang Li digested and comprehended this principle instilled by Su Chengyu, she naturally embarked on the path of cultivation.

This situation of making a clever mistake left Su Chengyu somewhat dumbfounded and amused.

The funny thing is, if even a little fox might benefit from this method, then if he uses proper cultivation methods to gather the spiritual energy here, his cultivation speed would be far superior to what was before, exponentially faster than the original world’s pace.

What’s troubling Su Chengyu, on the other hand, is his current physical condition, let alone cultivating, even simply maneuvering spiritual energy within might worsen his condition.

The situation in front of Su Chengyu is like a treasure mountain before him, yet he lacks the strength to move even a piece.

In the middle of his words, Su Chengyu thought of Su Zhedian.

His father had stayed here for more than a decade, surely noticing this point.

Sending him here likely had the intention of allowing him to rapidly enhance his strength here.

But...

Having said that, Su Chengyu lifted his head again, looking toward the east.

"I hope to find that place soon."

Enhancing strength is crucial, but more importantly, stabilizing the various kinds of Heavenly Dao Breaths rampaging within his body.

"My lord... I just now... didn’t wander intentionally..."

After recovering, Chang Li first paused, then spoke with a hint of fear.

Su Chengyu understood she was worried about angering him, but he just smiled, shaking his head, "It’s alright, in our future conversations if you gain any insights, feel free to cultivate, it’s certainly not a bad thing for you."

Chang Li blinked at Su Chengyu’s words, making sure he wasn’t just being polite before continuing,

"I don’t know why, it just felt like after hearing your words, the demonic power within me involuntarily began to circulate, and then the surrounding Spiritual Energy gathered into me, in a way I didn’t know before..."

"Did you remember the path it took inside you before merging into your Demon Core?"

Chang Li reminisced for a moment and nodded, "Yes, I roughly remembered."

"Good to remember, in future cultivations, use this circulation method of yours during every session. Over time, once you completely refine this pathway, it might be termed a Cultivation Technique."

Chang Li, half-understanding, nodded, not comprehending what a Cultivation Technique meant, but she could feel that this cultivation method was much better than the methods inherited by their Demon Clan lineage.

"I can’t determine how long this refining process will specifically take, but if you someday perfect it, becoming a Demon Emperor shouldn’t be a problem."

"Demon Emperor? Me?"

Chang Li stood dumbfounded, pointing at herself unable to react for a while.

Su Chengyu laughingly nodded, "Why can’t you do it when even this buffoon can become a Demon Emperor you don’t think you can?"

"Of course not!"

Chang Li replied excitedly, unwilling to let the Tiger Demon off just because of Su Chengyu’s presence, but it did not mean she had released her grudge against him.

Su Chengyu understood this, thus deliberately using the term Demon Emperor to provoke the little fox. In reality, he couldn’t be certain whether Chang Li would truly reach the Demon Emperor Realm after perfecting this circulation method into a Cultivation Technique.

But regardless of the outcome, Su Chengyu knew the process was more significant.

Even if a setback occurred, and Chang Li failed to transform this circulation method she comprehended into a successful Cultivation Technique, Su Chengyu still had confidence in making her a Demon Emperor within her lifetime.

Of course, these words were not disclosed to the little fox at this moment by Su Chengyu.

In the days that followed, one man, one tiger, and one fox proceeded eastward together.

However, half a month passed, and Su Chengyu’s strange bodily condition showed no signs of improvement, but Chang Li gradually grasped some cultivation techniques, her circulation became increasingly stable with each practice.

In this short span of half a month, her Realm had reached the bottleneck of the Demon King Realm.

As Chang Li’s Realm stagnated, Su Chengyu eventually saw traces of human civilization on this prairie.

"Finally, I’m about to reach it."

Su Chengyu gazed at the traces of a campfire left by others, sighing.

The campfire wasn’t left recently, the people who left it had departed at least several months ago.

But this was enough to prove Su Chengyu had reached his destination.

The only clue left by Su Zhedian when bringing him here.

Eastward, to the Dragon Rising Land.

Despite having seen his destination’s location, Su Chengyu didn’t rush to advance, instead unusually dismounting from the Tiger Demon’s back.

Turning to look at the path he came from, he murmured full of worries.

"Half a month has passed, the matters of the Luo Clan should be settled by now."
