Chapter 556: Chapter 554: The Great Dao Swordsmanship Was Secretly Learned

The Flying Ship returned to the Taiqing Sacred Land.

Su Qing brought the sleeping Su Qianyou back to Zuyang Peak.

Su Qianyou woke up.

"Brother, there are a lot of things in my Storage Ring that I don’t need. Can you give them to people who do?"

"You don’t need them?"

Puzzled, Su Qing took Su Qianyou’s Storage Ring. He opened it and saw two stalks of Tier Three Spirit Medicine, thirteen stalks of Tier Two Spirit Medicine, and twenty-three stalks of Tier One Spirit Medicine.

"..."

’Her luck is this good.’

"Alright. The Sacred Land’s grand competition starts next month. I’ll use these Spirit Medicines of yours as prizes."

"Qianyou, are you going to participate in the grand competition?"

"I am!" Su Qianyou nodded.

Su Qing smiled. "Good. You’ll participate then."

"I’ll sign you up."

...

A month of Cultivation passed.

Soon, it was time for the Sacred Land’s grand competition.

Su Qing took Su Qianyou to the site of the grand competition.

"It’s been a while, Elder Su."

Even Qi Wansheng had shown up.

Su Qing nodded and smiled. "My little sister wanted to come and test her skills."

In that month, Su Qing had made some progress.

Su Qianyou had also improved.

In particular, many of the scars covering her body had faded, leaving only dark purple marks.

She looked much better than before.

Qi Wansheng looked at Su Qianyou standing beside Su Qing. Observing her Cultivation, he praised, "Qianyou’s Cultivation has improved so quickly, and her foundation is solid. Elder Su’s guidance must be excellent."

Su Qing shook his head. "Qianyou learned on her own."

"It wasn’t my teaching. At most, I only offered some guidance."

"Oh, right." Su Qing took out some Low Tier Spirit Medicines.

Qi Wansheng asked quizzically, "Elder Su, these Spirit Medicines?"

"Consider them an extra contribution to the grand competition’s prizes. Qianyou doesn’t care for material possessions. These are all things she found in the Secret Realm last time."

"Really?" Qi Wansheng accepted them.

Su Qing nodded.

"Qianyou doesn’t care for material things. I suppose she finds them useless," Su Qing said, stroking Su Qianyou’s soft hair.

"If my own disciples had half of Qianyou’s Talent, I would be content. Alas..."

"She doesn’t rely on external aids?" Qi Wansheng asked again.

Su Qianyou nodded.

"I don’t need them."

"In that case, I’ll make the arrangements."

"I’ll get to it then." Qi Wansheng cupped his hands at Su Qing and teleported away to handle the matter.

Su Qianyou looked at the bustling crowd below drawing lots and asked, puzzled, "Brother, don’t I need to go down and draw a lot?"

"No need. The first stage is the elimination rounds. Basically, as long as you’re a True Disciple, you don’t have to draw lots."

"And you’re my sister. You can go on stage after the elimination rounds are over," Su Qing chuckled.

"Let’s sit down for now."

The two of them sat on a white cloud in the sky, watching the duels below.

Soon, Zhang Baiyuan approached Su Qing.

"Peak Lord, Miss Qianyou." Zhang Baiyuan bowed.

"Peak Lord, Miss Qianyou." The two disciples behind Zhang Baiyuan also bowed immediately, their respect immense.

They looked at Su Qianyou with a particular sense of fear.

"Baiyuan, are these your two disciples?"

"Learning Artifact Refining from you?"

"Yes, Peak Lord." Zhang Baiyuan nodded.

"They’re just a Third Grade Refiner and a Second Grade Refiner," Zhang Baiyuan said, feigning humility while actually showing off.

However, Su Qing remained completely unfazed.

To Su Qing, Artifact Refiners were nothing special.

After all, he could refine a Tier Eleven Dao Artifact.

With the Synthesizer, any Dao Artifact could be synthesized.

Therefore, to Su Qing, this level of achievement was nothing.

"Mm, not bad," Su Qing offered a brief compliment and said no more.

Zhang Baiyuan sat down with them on the cloud, watching the elimination rounds proceed below.

The elimination rounds.

Many disciples were eliminated.

The elimination rounds continued for the entire day.

Su Qing had brought Su Qianyou to watch for the whole day.

「That night.」

Su Qing and Su Qianyou were eating on the peak.

While they were eating, Su Qianyou asked, puzzled, "Brother, is killing allowed in the Sacred Land’s grand competition?"

"No."

"These are all your fellow sect members. You need to be careful."

"But I saw someone die today."

"How did they die?"

"Their spirit died."

"Hmm..."

"Then why do you think their spirit died?" Su Qing asked, curious.

"They were pulled into an Illusion Realm and tortured relentlessly, and so their spirit died?"

"..." Su Qing fell silent.

’Su Qianyou noticed such a technique in such detail?’

Even Su Qing hadn’t watched the elimination rounds as closely as Su Qianyou.

He was mostly just there to accompany Su Qianyou and see what the grand competition was like.

"When the time comes, if someone uses a technique like that on you, counterattack with your full strength. You don’t need to show any mercy."

Su Qing didn’t pass judgment, as he didn’t know what grievances existed between those involved.

But if it happened to Su Qianyou, Su Qing wouldn’t care if the opponent was a good person or a bad one.

"I know." Su Qianyou nodded.

「The next day.」

The grand competition officially began.

Su Qianyou went to draw a lot.

Watching from above, Su Qing noticed that many disciples regarded Su Qianyou with awe and fear.

’Could something terrible have happened in the Secret Realm?’

Su Qing suddenly thought of something.

The person who had trespassed into the Secret Realm, the one he had killed last time.

He hadn’t used Causal Touch.

The opponent hadn’t been completely eliminated!

’Don’t tell me they reappeared inside the Secret Realm?’

Su Qing frowned.

He began performing an Inference with his fingers.

"Dead?" The result of Su Qing’s Inference surprised him.

’Impossible. A Tenth Realm Cultivator couldn’t possibly have no life-saving measures.’

Su Qing performed another Inference.

In the end, Su Qing was astonished. It really was related to Su Qianyou.

Moreover, Su Qing discovered that his own standardized Inference could actually divine information about Su Qianyou.

Although it came up as "Su ??".

But he still knew who that was, of course.

It couldn’t be Su Qing.

Although Su Qing also possessed Standardization, it would be pointless if he tried to divine his own future and just got question marks.

Su Qianyou drew her lot. Excellent. She was the first to compete.

---

Su Qianyou stepped onto the arena stage for match number one. Her opponent was also in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

"Senior Sister Su, please enlighten me." Her opponent immediately cupped their hands in a bow.

Su Qianyou remained silent, taking out an Iron Sword.

"Let the match begin," an Elder on the stage declared.

Su Qianyou and her opponent attacked.

The opponent couldn’t even block a single move.

Su Qianyou’s one sword strike actually erupted with Sword Intent.

"Sword Intent!"

Everyone was shocked. Sword Intent was one of the most fundamental requirements for a Sword Cultivator.

But it was incredibly difficult to achieve.

Yet Su Qianyou, who looked like a small child, had unleashed Sword Intent.

Among the Foundation Establishment Realm, there were few who could stand against her.

Su Qing narrowed his eyes.

’Why does this Sword Intent feel so familiar?’

’It’s like a simplified version of his Great Dao Swordsmanship.’

But Su Qing had never taught her the Great Dao Swordsmanship.

"What incredible Swordsmanship!"

"Senior Sister Su is too strong!"

"I can’t believe the person we saw in the Secret Realm wasn’t even her at her strongest."

Su Qing faintly heard the cheers from the disciples below.

Defeating an enemy in a single strike was indeed powerful.

’And I have no idea where she learned Sword Intent.’

While Su Qing was pondering, Zhang Baiyuan cheered from the side, "Excellent Swordsmanship! I never expected the Swordsmanship Lord Su taught to be so exquisite. It feels like she could fight someone in the Golden Core Realm even while at Foundation Establishment."

"Her Sword Intent is close to the Dao itself. It has truly opened my eyes."

Zhang Baiyuan exclaimed in admiration, his eyes filled with envy as he looked down at Su Qianyou.

’I remember drawing my sword only a few times, right?’

He had only drawn his sword twice right under Su Qianyou’s nose.

And both times were when Su Qianyou was asleep.

’Damn!’

’She still managed to learn some of the Great Dao Swordsmanship from that?’

When Su Qing had drawn his sword, he hadn’t used the Great Dao Swordsmanship at all.

He had merely made a simple strike with his Profound Immortal Sword.

’This girl’s aptitude, Talent, and Comprehension are all extraordinarily high.’
