Chapter 2121 – Indescribable
Su Yi thought for a moment, then laughed. “Wasn’t our battle just now an answer in its own right?”
Bai Xiu was stunned.
Is the height of your cultivation base important? When I look back at our battle, the difference in our cultivation seems meaningless. It isn’t important at all!
If a superior cultivation base let you crush everyone in your path, how could I have lost to someone yet to become a god? And I’m strong enough to kill Mid-Rank Gods with ease, aren’t I?
“But those of even higher cultivations can crush those of lower cultivations, can’t they?” Bai Xiu couldn’t help but ask.
Su Yi nodded. “That’s indeed the case, but have you considered that when you break through, you’ll be able to kill those experts of higher cultivations with similar ease?”
This time, he didn’t wait for her to respond. He continued, “There are no absolutes in this world. To you and me, the barriers between different levels of cultivation aren’t unbreakable, so cultivation levels aren’t as important to us. But to the vast majority of people, the height of one’s cultivation matters more than anything. After all, people like us are exceptions, not the norm. We cannot represent ordinary cultivators.”
Bai Xiu couldn’t help but sink into thought.
This question might have seemed simple, but the question of relative cultivations and their importance was of extraordinary significance to her.
“The path of cultivation is taken step by step. Each step of the road is like a single step in a staircase,” said Su Yi. “Every step we take in pursuit of the Grand Dao is of the utmost importance. They’re our foundations in the Grand Dao. It’s only by ascending that staircase one step at a time that we can travel higher and further.
“But the height of each individual stair is a matter of one’s own strength. Those with heaven-defying foundations can reach higher levels of the staircase to defeat opponents who’re further along, but that’s only in combat, a competition of strength.
“In the pursuit of the Grand Dao, everyone must take each step one at a time. Missing even one floor will mean the end of your path.”
Here, Su Yi smiled. “Ultimately, every step of the staircase is important, but there’s no need for undue concern about how far you’ve advanced along it.”
Bai Xiu instinctively nodded. “Fellow Daoist, I’ll remember your answer. Later, I’ll naturally ask others for their view as well.”
Bai Xiu obviously had her own thoughts on the matter, and she didn’t completely accept Su Yi’s explanation.
This didn’t bother Su Yi. On the contrary, it gratified him. “I’m looking forward to the day you find your own answer to your question.”
With that, he turned to leave.
It was because he saw Bai Xiu as his fellow Daoist that he took it upon himself to say all that. Were she anyone else, he could never have bothered.
Why sit and discuss the Dao when you could rise and take action? Ultimately, everyone had to walk their path for themselves!
“My own answer, huh? …It’s true. I’ve been confused because everyone I’ve spoken to has given me a different answer, but… I’ve never found an answer that resonates with my Dao Heart…” Bai Xiu murmured and sank into a daze.
She loved to read, and she loved to think.
It was just as Su Yi said. Now, it was time she found her own answers!
There were countless paths of cultivation, and many different schools of thought. This led to conflict and controversy. Buddhists, Daoists, Demonists, Confucians, and other schools of thought all founded their own sects and created their own legacies because they had different perceptions of the Grand Dao.
If she found her own answers, that would qualify her to found her own school of thought!
This question was similarly of the utmost importance to the world’s Master Gods. All of them had to face it seriously!
……
Outside the fifth divine tower.
When they saw Su Yi emerge, the experts waiting outside were stunned. A deep silence descended over the crowd.
There was no uproar, no controversy, and no excitement. All everyone could think was, Don’t tell me Su Yi won again? If so, doesn’t that mean that not even the strongest Lesser God in history, Bai Xiu, lost to him?
The thought made the crowd’s hearts shake, and they sank even deeper into silence.
When he saw Su Yi head straight for the sixth divine tower, Yu Jiu, who’d only just lost to Su Yi, couldn’t hold back any longer. He sighed, “Fellow Daoist Su, you’ve yet to become a god, yet you’re invincible within the Creation Realm. It’s truly unprecedented!”
This declaration went off like a sudden thunderclap amidst the silence. The crowd was instantly in uproar.
Su Yi had actually won! He wasn’t just invincible against all Great Profound Stage cultivators of all epochs past and present. He was invincible against Lesser Gods despite his Great Realm cultivation base!
It was a miracle! This was an absolutely unprecedented miracle!
Su Yi heard the commotion, but he didn’t say anything, nor was he particularly happy or excited.
He’d tempered himself for far too long, and prepared for far too long, all for the sake of one day proving his Dao and achieving divinity. His current attainments were perfectly natural in light of that.
He was a Transgressor. If he couldn’t at least do this, it would make him seem inept.
The trials of the sixth and seventh towers targeted Limit Realm Mid-Rank Gods. Starting from the sixth tower, the nature of the divine towers’ tests and trials changed dramatically.
The sixth divine tower’s trial was called “Controlling the Dao,” and it was a test of one’s control over their powers of the Grand Dao.
The seventh divine tower was called “Discussing the Dao,” and it tested the most mysterious power of all: the power of the heart.
When Su Yi reached the sixth tower, a figure emerged.
He was a thin man in Daoist robes. His temples were flecked with gray, and his eyes were bright and clear.
Lu Shuo!
He was a Mid-Rank God and yet another of the nine experts whom Su Yi’s third incarnation had sent to undergo the towers’ trials.
At the same time, he was a supreme expert within his level, unrivaled in his epoch of origin.
When he saw Su Yi emerge, Lu Shuo’s expression shifted inscrutably. “It’s a pity, but I can no longer duel you within the Celestial Trials.”
Su Yi was stunned. “You lost?”
Lu Shuo nodded, then said directly, “There are three supreme Mid-Rank Gods on top of the sixth tower. All of their powers of the Grand Dao are supreme and tempered to perfection. I lost to the second of them.”
He sighed. “I lost, but it’s hard to convince myself of my defeat. After all, I’d never even considered the possibility that someone of the same level of cultivation could beat me.”
Su Yi’s eyes lit up, and he asked with great interest, “Just how strong are the three of them?
Lu Meng pondered briefly, then said, “At my peak, I slew a Fortune Realm Greater God. Seems to me that all three of them have that level of strength.”
He then looked at Su Yi, as if trying to discover something from Su Yi’s expression.
But to his astonishment, when Su Yi heard that, he smiled as if gratified. “Not bad! Truly not bad!”
Then, he made a beeline for the sixth tower, as if he couldn’t bear to wait.
Lu Shuo couldn’t help but be stunned. He said hurriedly, “Would you be willing to duel me before attempting the sixth tower, Fellow Daoist?”
Su Yi didn’t even turn around to look at him. “If I overcome the sixth divine tower, it’ll be obvious which of us is superior.”
Lu Shuo’s pupils constricted, but he knew that Su Yi was right. After all, he’d only just been defeated in the sixth tower’s trial. If Su Yi overcame it, it would mean that his powers of the Grand Dao were a level above Lu Shuo’s!
“That guy…” Lu Shuo was about to say something, but he couldn’t find the words.
Someone suddenly sighed. “You can’t find any vocabulary adequate to describe him, can you?”
Lu Shuo looked over and saw Yu Jiu, Bai Xiu, Jian Xingyun, Li Mu, and Lu Kong heading his way.
There were numerous other trial-takers approaching from all directions. They’d obviously been drawn here by Su Yi.
“That’s right.” Lu Shuo nodded. He really didn’t know how to describe Su Yi.
“We feel the same way,” Yu Jiu said with a bitter laugh.
It was true. Words like “unparalleled,” “uniquely accomplished,” and “the strongest in history” all seemed inadequate to describe Su Yi.
“He seems somehow similar to that senior to me,” Bai Xiu said out of nowhere. “He’s so strong that it’s downright unbelievable, and he’s as unfathomable as an abyss, mysterious, and unknowable.”
This description resonated with the others. All of them agreed completely.
The mysterious Crypt Guardian really was that mysterious and unbelievable.
Meanwhile, at the far end of the Path of the Ancient Gods, in the Abyssal Ruin shrouded in darkness.
The corners of a thin man’s mouth twitched. He couldn’t help but laugh. You’re comparing him to me?Aren’t you just comparing me with myself?
By now, he’s overcome some trials, but he’s yet to prove his Dao and break through. I’m increasingly eager for this unprecedented path of divinity…
The thin man leaned back into his chair, rested his head in his hand, and sank into thought.
He could only see a portion of Su Yi’s trials, but the little he did see was enough for him to infer much of the truth!
“Fortunately, I prepared thoroughly. Otherwise, it would be difficult to be completely assured of my victory…” the thin man muttered to himself.
…
Meanwhile, atop the sixth tower.
Su Yi overcame the tower’s trials to reach this place with ease.
The sea of chaos clouds surged, and one of the three supreme Limit Realm Mid-Rank Gods of past epochs appeared before him!
He was a dark-skinned, middle-aged monk as fierce as a golden vajra.
The moment he appeared, Su Yi felt a strong sense of threat.
That’s right. He didn’t feel pressure. He sensed a threat! This sense of impending crisis was like needles prickling his skin. Su Yi instinctively circulated the full extent of his cultivation base.
Yet when the battle broke out, the monk’s powers of the Grand Dao instantly sent him flying!
His vital energy churned violently within him.
The monk, meanwhile, was entirely unharmed. He was not affected in the slightest.
But this didn’t scare Su Yi. On the contrary, it delighted him.
Right now, he needed nothing more urgently than a battle just like this one. He needed a sufficiently threatening opponent to seize the opportunity he needed to break through in a life-or-death battle!
