Chapter 1494 - 1495: Going Against the Norm
"The Qinling Dragon Vein we just delved into is tied to the fate of Xia Country, and I mustn’t draw too much from it lest those old bulls of Xia Country set their sights on me. Otherwise, I could swallow a whole dragon vein, and reaching the Peak of the Hollow Void wouldn’t simply be a matter of course, let alone achieving the status of a Land Immortal. Then you’d see that so-called dog-shit Mountain Lord getting rubbed into the ground by me."
Ao Tian looked toward the dragon vein in the distance and sighed.
Su Chengyu softly said to Ao Tian, who was still as haughty as ever, "My master and Master Chang Chun of the Imperial Observatory are old acquaintances, and if nothing is out of place, he is also an Earth Immortal."
Ao Tian rolled his eyes and said, "I’m aware that your Xia Country is now vast and prosperous, with many Earth Immortals. I don’t have the habit of bringing trouble onto myself."
Su Chengyu smiled but remained silent.
It was true that Ao Tian could rely on the dragon vein to restore his strength, but a dragon vein of Qinling’s scale could only allow him to return to the status of a Land Immortal, and Chengyu could see without calculating the amount of immense power that would be lost in the process.
This kind of loss was not something that Su Chengyu himself would advise Ao Tian to pursue.
After all, the restoration of power for Ao Tian and Bai Qiu seemed quite different from using a Heaven-Mending Stone; when they reached the Nascent Soul in the Hollow Vacuum, they wouldn’t appear to be as obviously throttled as when using the Heaven-Mending Stone and wouldn’t need to rush to success.
Emerging from the underground of Qinling and after estimating their bearings, Su Chengyu and Ao Tian almost simultaneously sensed the whereabouts of Bai Qiu and the others, still within the Water Mansion where Bai Qiu and Ao Tian had previously hidden.
Su Chengyu controlled his sword, while Ao Tian rode the wind. To conceal their presence, the two did not travel quickly.
Upon arriving at the Water Mansion, Ao Tian immediately displayed his Divine Skills to disperse the prohibitions in front of the Water Mansion’s gate, then rushed in with Su Chengyu.
