Chapter 89: The Heavenly Path Was Under My Control
Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
In the time it took to travel back and forth, Su Yang’s sword intent improved by another level, reaching level 42.
Upon returning to the capital, Su Yang went directly to the imperial palace. With his current status as the Heavenly Inspector, he could freely enter the palace. He soon met Xia Xuan, who was busy dealing with the twelve bodies of
Heaven Transformation Realm cultivators. These twelve represented twelve different factions. Without the protection of the Heaven Transformation Realm, even if Jiang Sheng didn’t take action, Xia Xuan could easily manage them.
“May I ask why the Sword Immortal is looking for me?” Xia Xuan inquired.
“Your Majesty, please take a look at this.” Su Yang took out the Heavenly Earth Cultivation Technique and handed it to Xia Xuan.
Xia Xuan quickly understood the content, but he didn’t fully grasp Su Yang’s intention.
“Sword Immortal, this technique is actually available within the palace as well.
However… without the Heavenly Path’s support, it can only cultivate the Destruction Path.”
“What if there’s Heavenly Path support?”
Su Yang said with a smile.
Clearly, Xia Xuan’s aura was fluctuating intensely in response to Su Yang’s words.
Su Yang didn’t beat around the bush and began explaining the purpose of his visit. Upon learning that Su Yang had established a connection with the
Heavenly Path, both Xia Xuan and Jiang Sheng were surprised and delighted.
They were also eager to see how effective the Heavenly Earth Cultivation Technique could be in cultivating talents.
Following the method described in the technique, Xia Xuan, with Su Yang’s assistance, was the first to form a contract with the entire palace. For cultivators to contract with the heavens and earth, certain conditions needed to be met, and individual strength was also a factor. The palace’s quality was quite high, but without Su Yang’s help, even in the presence of the Heavenly Path, Xia Xuan would have had to pay a significant price to establish the contract.
In the moment the contract was formed, Xia Xuan felt an unprecedented sensation. The entire palace was connected to him, and he could clearly sense the spiritual energy and a unique power.
Seeing the contract completed, Su Yang asked, “Your Majesty, how is it?”
Xia Xuan pondered for a moment and replied, “Not bad… With the origin of the palace nourishing it, it will be possible to forge a Low-grade Spirit Root in about a month’s time. I can also collect the origin of this heavenly land. It can be used to accelerate cultivation or help others cultivate Spirit Roots.”
“However, my personal cultivation is also limited by the quality of the palace’s spiritual land. Currently, according to the quality of the palace’s spiritual land, I can advance at most to the early Gold Core stage.”
“Is that so?” Su Yang thought for a moment, realizing that Xia Xuan’s potential wasn’t as impressive as he had initially thought.
Not only was he limited by the Heavenly Path, but he was also constrained by the contracted spiritual land’s quality.
Despite this, there were advantages. The Heavenly Earth Cultivation Technique allowed simultaneous progress of both oneself and the heavens and earth. If the heavens and earth improved, so too would the people benefiting from it. At least it was better than the Oppressive Path, which brought calamities upon the people.
Su Yang suddenly had an idea. He might not need to contract with the heavens and earth himself, and his subordinates might not need to do so either.
After all, he could control the realm, and then the Heavenly Path would be under his control.
Wasn’t it the same as promoting anyone he wanted?
Right now, his main goal was to restore the Heavenly Path.
Considering these points, Su Yang felt his idea was reasonable.
Once the contract with the heavens and earth was complete, Xia Xuan could promote anyone he wanted. Therefore, continuing with the contracts seemed unnecessary. Xia Xuan could control the spiritual energy and origin of this region, and whether or not he used it to cultivate his subordinates was his decision. Su Yang wasn’t worried at all. The limitations of the Nurturing Path were based on the quality of the contracted spiritual land. According to the Heavenly Path’s assessment, the quality of the palace’s spiritual land was equivalent to a Low-grade Gold Core, which meant Xia Xuan could only cultivate up to the early Gold Core stage. After reaching perfection, if he wanted to break through, he would have to improve the quality of the contracted spiritual land. At that point, no amount of spiritual energy or origin would be able to enhance Xia Xuan’s strength.
When that time came, Xia Xuan would naturally have excess spiritual energy and origin to enhance his subordinates.
Having fully understood the drawbacks of the Heavenly Earth Cultivation Technique, Su Yang decided to abandon this idea altogether for himself. While it could be beneficial for his subordinates, it wasn’t necessary for his own cultivation. Instead, he would focus on improving his sword intent.
After assisting Xia Xuan in forming the contract with the heavens and earth, Su Yang introduced Jiang Xiaoyu to him. Xia Xuan was naturally very attentive to those brought to him by Su Yang, expressing his intention to nurture Jiang Xiaoyu.
With these matters settled, Su Yang left the palace with Gu Xiu.
After leaving the palace, Su Yang originally intended to go straight to Qingzhou to resolve the food shortage. However, at this moment, the Heavenly Path’s voice suddenly resounded.contemporary romance
Heavenly Path Fragment: [Sword Immortal, I’ve sensed some of my fragments. Could you assist in retrieving them?]
Su Yang: [Wait, let me resolve the food shortage first.]
Repair the Heavenly Path?
Hurry up with that hammer; resolving the food shortage was the top priority.
Heavenly Path Fragment: [Sword Immortal, a few of the fragments I’ve sensed could restore me to ten percent of my power. After you help me, I can utilize the origin to revitalize an area.]
Su Yang: [Wait, I’ll go right after resolving the food shortage.]
Originally, Su Yang thought about refusing, but upon careful consideration, he realized that even if he eliminated the evil cultivators, Qingzhou was facing the crisis of vitality extinction. If that couldn’t be changed, the food shortage crisis would persist. Thus, rejuvenating Qingzhou was an essential task.
He had briefly experimented with his sword intent. To rejuvenate an area using his sword intent, he needed to reach level 100 and create suitable sword techniques. This seemed to involve the power of laws, similar to his attempt to extend his lifespan.
Considering these factors, Su Yang concluded that rescuing the Heavenly Path was a reasonable choice.
Not long after leaving the imperial palace, while he was busily organizing spoils of war, Gu Xiu suddenly spoke up, “Sword Master, I found a Foundation Establishment-level flying vessel while sorting through the loot. It’s faster than my flight, and most importantly, it allows the Sword Master to wield your sword comfortably.”
“Oh? That’s quite good.”
“However, it requires the use of some Low-grade Spirit Stones.”
“Low-grade Spirit Stones? How many do we have?”
Spirit Stones were valuable resources for most cultivators, but Su Yang hadn’t even taken a proper look at them, let alone counted them.
“Your Highness, we have a total of 98,372 Low-grade Spirit Stones. The flying vessel consumes roughly one stone per hour.” “Such low consumption? Then let’s use it directly.”
Su Yang said casually.
“Understood.”
It was a very precious resource.
But it was precious for others.
Having been with Su Yang for not even a month, Gu Xiu felt his horizons had broadened like never before. In this world, aside from Su Yang, nothing could astonish him anymore.
“Gu Lao, have you considered contracting with the heavens and earth?” Su
Yang looked at Gu Xiu. “If you’re interested, I can help you establish a contract.
After all, you’ve been with me for quite some time.”
“It’s up to the Sword Master’s arrangement,” Gu Xiu replied.
“Haha, alright then. There’s no rush to contract with the heavens and earth. It’s not all that important.”
Heavenly Path Fragment: [Can you whisper a little less loudly about leaving me behind?]
Leaving the capital, Gu Xiu took a flying vessel model from his storage pouch.
It was only the size of a palm, and its design resembled an ancient fishing boat. However, when activated with the array formations on it, the vessel enlarged and hovered in mid-air. Based on its size, it could easily accommodate ten people.
Following the guidance of the Heavenly Dao’s consciousness, the flying vessel began moving forward.
Its speed was indeed swift, at least three times faster than Gu Xiu’s flight.
Su Yang was even able to concentrate on wielding his sword on the flying vessel, which was very comfortable.
The Heavenly Path’s consciousness detected three fragments that had fallen outside its influence.
Su Yang inquired whether the other Heavenly Path fragments were conscious. According to the Heavenly Path’s consciousness, those fragments only possessed a slight awareness. Since this particular fragment awakened first, it became the dominant consciousness.
This awakening was also related to Su Yang. When he used thunder attribute power to attack the Heavenly Path fragments, it inadvertently awakened the consciousness, because thunder attribute power was the Heavenly Path’s strongest method.
The flying vessel soared through the sky and swiftly left Tianfeng Prefecture’s range, arriving above a small mountain.
According to the Heavenly Path’s consciousness, one of the fragments was located below..
