Chapter 1205: The Swift One Takes the Lead
Su Chengyu stood frozen in place upon hearing those words, instinctively blurting out, "Has Aunt Ye already become an Earth Immortal?"
Ye Qingci couldn’t help but laugh at the seemingly nonsensical remark, she countered, "What? Does it not seem likely?"
Su Chengyu shook his head, "It’s not that, it just all feels somewhat surreal."
He had just been guarding Ye Qingci through the Hollow Vacuum calamity, and now in rapid succession, she had entered the realm of Earth Immortal. This drastic change felt like a dream.
"What’s surreal or not? You only see the success one achieves overnight, but what about the decades of accumulation?"
The words of Ye Qingci brought some enlightenment to Su Chengyu, "So Aunt Ye’s ascension to Earth Immortal is due to the cultivation technique."
"No, it’s because of you."
Ye Qingci’s direct words left Su Chengyu dumbstruck where he stood. Before he could react, her gaze fell upon him.
"You were the one who called forth the Dragon Gate to this world, and it was the path you paved for me that I traversed. I merely followed the momentum. If I’m not mistaken, the one who truly deserves this should be you. The Yamata no Orochi wanted to possess your body, and I believe that’s the reason for it."
In his Nascent Soul Realm, Su Chengyu naturally could not have crossed the Dragon Gate. But had the Yamata no Orochi possessed him, under such circumstances, it could have used the Dragon Gate and the special connection Su Chengyu had with it to directly receive the entire True Dragon’s blessing.
All this, Su Chengyu had passed on to her, even at a significant cost to himself.
