Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 62 – Beaten to death for being too honest

"The sage comes from a prestigious family in the Eastern Capital. I heard it's a family of three sages, a sage family!"

Li Zhuxian touched Qing Qiuyue's little head and stuffed a piece of candy into her mouth. Speaking of the origin of the Shuofang Sage, his words were full of envy as he said, "My Li family is also a prestigious family in Shuofang, but compared to the sage, it's like a pheasant compared to a phoenix. The difference is too great."

"A family of three sages?" Su Yun and Hua Hu glanced at each other, shocked in their hearts.

There are actually people in this world who can achieve a family of three sages!

Su Yun asked, "Miss Zhuxian, what kind of knowledge do these three sages have?"

Li Zhuxian shook her head and said, "I don't know. The first two of these three sages were appointed by the emperor of the Eastern Capital."

Su Yun laughed, "So they were appointed by the emperor! The title of sage must be worthless."

Li Zhuxian was stunned and humbly asked, "Little Brother Yun, what do you mean?"

Su Yun said seriously, "I thought that a sage must create a prominent school of thought, one that can influence countless people, enabling them to learn and benefit greatly from his knowledge. That is what a sage is. I didn't expect it was just something the emperor casually appointed!"

He shook his head, greatly disappointed. "It's hard to live up to one's reputation. No wonder the sage's disciple, the Sage Prince, is not worth a fight."

Li Zhuxian hurriedly said, "Don't say that! If you speak like this in front of others, you will be seen as strange, and you may even bring great trouble upon yourself!"

Su Yun wondered and laughed, "It's obviously correct, why is it considered crazy talk?"

Li Zhuxian thought to herself, "There's an indescribable wildness in his character! He thinks he's right, even if everyone else says he's wrong, he won't change."

She carefully observed Su Yun and thought to herself, "Although he seems to be the same age as me, his temperament gives people an unusually tall feeling, as if he won't be easily subdued."

She regained her composure and continued, "The Shuofang Sage has studied both the new and old schools of thought, and has achieved a deep and unfathomable level of integration. He created a foundational technique called the 'Sun and Moon Stacked Qi Method' by combining the old and new schools of thought. It is said that this technique visualizes the sun and moon, and combines both the technique and the Qi, which is different from the 'Bifang Divine Steps and Qi Nurturing Method' that we usually practice. The Sage Prince Bai Yuelou cultivates this technique."

"Visualize the sun and moon, and combine both the technique and the Qi?"

Su Yun was somewhat moved and involuntarily looked towards the white-clad young man, thinking to himself, "The cultivation method of this Qi Nurturing Method is indeed somewhat different and very knowledgeable."

Although Li Zhuxian didn't know much information, from what she revealed, Su Yun could imagine the power of this Sun and Moon Stacked Qi Method.

The Bifang Divine Steps and Qi Nurturing Method, the Immortal Ape Qi Nurturing Method, and the Honglu Transformation Qi Nurturing Method, these three foundational techniques, although they were techniques and Qi, they never achieved the combination of both.The "Sun and Moon Cultivation Technique" is likely to combine techniques and mental methods. The technique is the mental method, and the mental method is the technique. There is no need to separate them into two parts!

Just from the concept alone, the "Sun and Moon Cultivation Technique" has already surpassed the "Honglu Transformation" of the Heavenly Dao Academy by a lot!

"This sage indeed has some abilities and is not just seeking fame."

Su Yun thought to himself, "But compared to the contributions of my friend from the Lou Ban stall, he is far behind. The refining technique created by my friend can be seen everywhere and has become a teaching material in the academy. The technique created by the Shuofang Saint has only been learned by the Crown Prince and has not been able to benefit the world. Even if it is good, it is not enough to be called a saint."

He didn't care about the strength of the Crown Prince.

"From the performance of the Crown Prince being beaten by you just now, he probably hasn't cultivated his spiritual power."

Li Zhuxian whispered, "If he had cultivated his spiritual power, his strength would be terrifying. Have you cultivated your spiritual power?"

Su Yun nodded.

Li Zhuxian was extremely envious and said, "Then you have to be careful. Anyone who cultivates their spiritual power will be sealed in the spirit world in the Ten Jinxiu Charts, and they will not be able to use any power except for the power of the Foundation Establishment Realm."

Su Yun was very puzzled and wondered, "I have a high level of cultivation because my knowledge is high. My knowledge is high because I am both smart and hardworking. Other scholars don't have a high level of cultivation or knowledge and are stupid and lazy. Isn't the academy selecting people who are smart, hardworking, knowledgeable, and have a high level of cultivation? Why do I have to take care of these weaklings and have my power sealed to fight them?"

Hu Buping laughed and said, "Little Yun, you will be beaten to death sooner or later because you are too honest and upright, lying dead on the street."

Li Zhuxian also had the urge to beat Su Yun up and barely suppressed her anger.

Su Yun didn't understand and asked, "Isn't that the case? Doesn't the academy want to recruit smart people like me?"

Li Zhuxian was so angry that she gritted her teeth and said, "Not everyone can cultivate their spiritual power at your age! I'm not talking to you anymore!"

After a while, she couldn't help but say again, "You have a high level of cultivation, but when you reach the Tianlin Upward Scenery Chart, your realm will be suppressed. By then, not only the Crown Prince but also those scholars can beat you to death!"

Hua Hu, Qing Qiuyue, Li Xiaofan, and Hu Buping applauded together and shouted, "Sister Zhuxian, say a few more beautiful words. It would be best if they could beat Little Yun to death!"

Li Zhuxian was speechless.

She didn't know that in the hearts of Hua Hu and the others, if they were in the realm of Yu Ling, Su Yun might lose, but if everyone was in the realm of Foundation Establishment, Su Yun would not lose at all!

Because they were taught by Qiu Shuijing!

At this time, the Tianlin Upward Scenery Chart slowly unfolded in the sky.

The scholars on the stage looked up at the sky, and Su Yun also carefully observed. He saw that the Tianlin Upward Scenery Chart was gradually getting bigger and gradually covering the platform's airspace.It was a landscape painting, with a blue sky and white sun, bright sunlight, the sky pressing down on the lake, the lake reflecting the mountains on its shore, the lake calm without any ripples, and also reflecting the sky.

It was truly the scenery of Tianlin!

In the short moment that Su Yun was looking at the Tianlin scenery painting, the painting had already grown large enough to cover the entire platform, and the mountains, water, and sky in the painting had become three-dimensional at some point.

The painting seemed to have a real sky covering the landscape, with the lake water hanging upside down, the land floating, and the mountain top pointing downward, with the sky below the mountain top!

"Is this the spiritual weapon of the Hidden Spirit Realm?"

Su Yun looked somewhat dazed, what kind of powerful existence could refine such a treasure? And what kind of person would give away such a treasure after obtaining the Ten Splendid Painting?

What kind of generosity did the person who gave away the treasure have?

"However, why didn't the Left Protector of the Wenchang Academy stop the Grand Exam?"

Su Yun looked up at the top floor of each building, which was the residence of the immortals.

In his blood and energy perception, there was an incredibly strong blood and energy in the residence of the immortals, forming different phenomena such as buildings, bells, gods, pagodas, and treasure trees, which should be the locations of the heads of the major academies.

What puzzled him was that the news of the human and demon had already been conveyed, so the most critical thing at this moment was to search for the whereabouts of the entire village's meal and find the human and demon!

To avoid casualties, the Grand Exam for scholars entering the academy had to be postponed!

"But why did they invoke the Ten Splendid Painting?"

Just as he was thinking this, a white cloud suddenly floated past his eyes, and Su Yun's heart jumped as he unknowingly drifted into the Tianlin scenery painting!

He hurriedly looked around, only to see that all the scholars on the platform were being pulled towards the painting hanging in the sky by the Tianlin scenery painting!

High above the sky, Su Yun looked towards other places, only to see that in the Shuofang City, each building cluster was suspended with a huge scroll of painting, which was the other nine paintings of the Ten Splendid Painting!

Nine paintings, nine suspended lands, formed a circle, with the Tianlin scenery painting in the center, surrounded by the nine paintings.

There were thousands of scholars under each painting, being pulled towards the painting by the power of the Ten Splendid Painting.

Thirty thousand scholars participating in the Grand Exam for entering the academy in Shuofang were about to enter the Splendid Painting.

Su Yun had not yet entered the Tianlin scenery painting, but immediately felt that his spiritual realm was forcibly closed by a force!

He thought to himself, "The spiritual realm is the world where the spirit resides. So does that mean that we all have a world hidden inside our bodies, where the spirit resides, and when the physical body dies and the world collapses, the spirit has nowhere to live and will run out? So the Tianlin scenery painting can seal my spiritual realm because it is a spiritual realm itself?"

He guessed that the principle of sealing the spiritual realm was that when a small spiritual realm entered a huge spiritual realm, it was compressed and sealed, making the spiritual master unable to use spiritual magic, thus giving the feeling of having their cultivation sealed.But this seal is not a real seal. As long as you leave the Tianlin Shangjing map or your own spiritual power can break through the suppression, you can use your spiritual power.

At this moment, Su Yun suddenly heard a long dragon roar: "Meng Gu--"

He looked over and saw a black dragon walking on a building, as if walking on flat ground, fighting with a monk and a Taoist from one floor to another!

The black dragon was poisonous all over, and the yellow mist surrounded it, making it easy for people to approach.

And in the yellow mist, a long sword flew out and flew in, which was the snake sword made from Jiao Shu'Ao's poisonous teeth, which fed the whole village.

The two fighting with Jiao Shu'Ao were Master Tu Ming and Idle Cloud Taoist. These two were extremely powerful and were the heads of the two colleges of Wen Chang Academy. They were light-handed but did not seem to want to kill Jiao Shu'Ao. Instead, they seemed to want to force Jiao Shu'Ao over here.

When Jiao Shu'Ao had just transformed into a dragon, he was surrounded and attacked by a group of masters in the no man's land, and he also dealt with the three spirit masters from the Tong family, causing many villages in the no man's land to suffer heavy casualties, and one of the Tong family's three spirit masters died and two were injured.

At that time, Jiao Shu'Ao was in a state of blood loss immediately after crossing the tribulation, but now his strength has actually improved a lot, and he is fighting back and forth with Tu Ming and Idle Cloud.

Su Yun glanced hastily and suddenly froze. He vaguely saw a girl with flowing hair standing between the two dragon horns on top of Jiao Shu'Ao's black dragon form!

He fell into the Tianlin Shangjing map, stepped on solid ground, and looked up again. The sky was already obscured by clouds, and he could not see Jiao Shu'Ao and the girl's whereabouts.

"Has the human demon possessed?" His heart was pounding.
