Capítulo 1798: Chapter 1799: Unraveling the Mystery

“Was this the place you came to before?”

The Tiger Demon had previously mentioned to Su Chengyu that he had interacted with humans, a matter that Su Chengyu had kept in mind.

“Yes, my lord. But those people don’t even understand the basics of cultivation. I really don’t understand why you care so much about them?”

“Did you understand it at birth?”

Su Chengyu followed up with a question.

“Yeah! Since I gained consciousness, I knew I needed to harness nature’s spiritual energy to strengthen myself, though the methods and means were somewhat primitive back then.”

Su Chengyu was somewhat surprised by this answer, then turned to look at the Little Fox Chang Li.

Chang Li also nodded: “I also knew some things at birth, but my grandfather’s guidance was crucial for my smooth growth to where I am now.”

“Crucial my foot, compared to what the lord taught you…”

Before the Tiger Demon could finish his words, he noticed the cold air in the atmosphere and quickly shut his mouth, not daring to speak further about the old fox.

Su Chengyu withdrew his gaze from the Tiger Demon and continued speaking to Chang Li: “Perhaps this is the innate difference between the Demon Clan and the Human Clan, or rather, it is the inherent difference between humans and all other beings in the Myriad Realms.”

Humans are not incapable of sensing spiritual energy, but in the process of choosing evolution, they did not incorporate the absorption of spiritual energy into their bodily functions.

For other races, absorbing spiritual energy is as natural as breathing, while the human pursuit of the Dao is evidently different from others.

Whether in the past or now.

Although the path of seeking Dao greatly differs, the process of Enlightenment is indeed unavoidable.

This process is like a barrier imposed on humans by others, only by overcoming this barrier can one truly embark on the path of seeking Dao.

“Is this also the restriction left by Empress Nuwa when she created the Human Clan initially? Or is it the result of other Immortal Emperors intervening and changing something after sensing anomalies in the Human Clan?”

The subconscious question Su Chengyu posed was one no one could answer. The Heaven-Mending Stone is no longer at his side, and such matters delving so deeply into the Dao naturally have no one to offer Su Chengyu any counsel.

This journey to another world evidently leaves Su Chengyu relying on no one but himself to forge a path of his own.

“Hopefully, I can return soon.”

After saying this, Su Chengyu sensed something and looked towards the northeast, then spoke to the Tiger Demon beneath him.

“Hu Xiao.”

“Understood!”

Su Chengyu, still holding the Little Fox Chang Li in his usual fox form, dismounted from Hu Xiao. Hu Xiao then transformed into a half-human, half-beast form, took a few steps towards the northeast, and then shouted.

“Which rat dares to spy on your Grandpa Hu here! Get out if you don’t want to die!”

Hu Xiao was the name Su Chengyu gave the Tiger Demon after explaining how names or titles can significantly affect the path of cultivation. The Tiger Demon then mustered the courage to request a title from Su Chengyu.

This title cannot quite be considered a name, more like a cultivator’s Daoist title, although it is not as strongly intertwined with one’s life cause and effect as a given name, it still has a certain significance.

The little demon in the northeast was intimidated by Hu Xiao’s aura and retreated a few meters, but Su Chengyu noticed something amiss in the direction of the retreat and spoke again.

“Capture that guy alive.”

“Understood.”

The Tiger Demon moved swiftly, evidently preferring to be Su Chengyu’s enforcer rather than his mount, knowing that the more valuable he proves himself, the better his chances of surviving under Su Chengyu.

Moreover, during these days of contact, the Tiger Demon had somewhat sensed an anomaly in Su Chengyu’s physical condition.

However, one thing the Tiger Demon was sure of, even with such an anomaly, the opponent could kill him with just a flick of the finger.

Just like that peculiar human from before who was clearly at a lower realm but almost killed him, definitely not something he could provoke.

The Tiger Demon, in his anthropomorphic form, half-crouched on the ground, flashed like the wind before Su Chengyu’s eyes.

The astounding speed caused the Little Fox beside them to blink. Her strength had rapidly improved over these days, almost reaching the Demon King Realm, but even so, she couldn’t catch up with the Tiger Demon’s speed.

At that moment, she realized more profoundly that without Su Chengyu, she would have long since met a tragic end under the Tiger Demon’s sharp claws.

Boom!

A massive collision sound echoed from afar, indicating that the battle had ended almost instantly.

Hu Xiao’s strength in front of Su Chengyu is no longer a match.

But even in this world where demons run rampant, the Demon Emperor’s strength is indeed sufficient to dominate a region, not to mention Hu Xiao initially targeted the unconscious Su Chengyu, hoping to use the opportunity to take a step further into the Demon Emperor’s realm.

Soon, in his beast form, Hu Xiao dragged a severely battered Rat Demon in front of Su Chengyu, releasing the rat which then fell to the ground.

But with its unconscious state, it clearly couldn’t satisfy Su Chengyu’s requirements.

He looked at Hu Xiao coldly and said: “Is this the living captive you brought?”

Hu Xiao was taken aback. To showcase his strength, he had intentionally been a bit forceful, wanting to make a good impression in front of Su Chengyu.

Realizing he might have gone overboard, Hu Xiao hurriedly explained: “My lord, I’m sorry. I really didn’t expect this little yellow rat to be so brittle.”

Su Chengyu snorted coldly, unwilling to pay Hu Xiao any further attention.

He crouched down to check the Rat Demon’s condition. Though the injuries were severe, they had not caused irreparable damage, and it should awaken after some time.

However, Su Chengyu couldn’t afford to wait that long. He bent down, attempting to sort through the chaotic Power of the Heavenly Dao within him.

Besides teaching Chang Li, Su Chengyu himself had been trying to control the chaos of the Power of the Heavenly Dao within his body these days.

Although he hadn’t fully resolved it, he had roughly identified the distinct characteristics of each power, and among them, one particular force of the Heavenly Dao intrigued him.

Amidst the numerous forces within Su Chengyu, this particular Power of the Heavenly Dao was the most tranquil, lying dormant peacefully in him without disturbance from other forces.

But once other forces of the Heavenly Dao entered its vicinity, it retaliated most violently.

This Power of the Heavenly Dao was fundamentally identical to Chen Mengmeng’s innate Way of Cause and Effect.

The Power of Cause and Effect was something Su Chengyu comprehended during his time in Qinling. At that time, he aimed only to unleash his Sword Qi when he couldn’t physically wield his sword.

However, Su Chengyu was certain that the potential of the Power of Cause and Effect extended far beyond that point, with Chen Mengmeng being the prime example.

It can kill, and it should most definitely be able to save.
