Chapter 356: Entering The Nine Swords Realm.

“Sure, let’s talk.”
Su Qin looked at the two brothers, Su Chenghao and Su Chengyu, then said.
Before Su Qin went to the Shaolin Temple, he had lived a good life with the Su Family. There was no bad blood and competition that the children of other noble families had.
“Okay.” Su Shimin immediately said: “Chenghao and Chengyu would like to ask you to be a guide and see if their little brats (children) are suitable for Cultivation…”
In Cultivation, guidance was very important.
It was even related to how far a Cultivator could reach.
Currently, in the palace, there were countless Grandmasters and even the Peak Legends were not lacking. With the status of the Su Family, as long as they said one word, there would be a group of Peak Legends lining up to guide the children of the Su Family… But no matter what, whether it was Su Shimin, or the brothers Su Chenghao and Su Chengyu, they all hoped to get Su Qin to do it.
It was mainly because Su Qin was insanely strong.
Even high-level Earth Immortals were killed by him. Compared with Su Qin, those Peak Legends were nothing.
“Guidance?”
Su Qin calmly looked outside the East Palace.
There he saw more than a dozen children waiting anxiously. As long as Su Qin agrees, someone would bring them into the East Palace. At the same time, if Su Qin refuses, these children would naturally not be able to step into the doors of the East Palace.
“Since it’s the children of First and Second Brother, of course I could give some pointers.”
Su Qin did not refuse and agreed without any hesitation.
Su Chenghao and Su Chengyu’s children were Su Qin’s nephews and nieces. It was natural for Su Qin to give them special attention. Of course, this was also because the relationship between these children and Su Qin was within three generations. If it was more than three generations down the line, Su Qin would be too lazy to care anymore.
In the palace, there were countless books from all over the world and a large number of herbs were supplied every day. The Cultivation environment for the disciples of the Su Family had already surpassed that of most Cultivators in the world. If they still needed Su Qin’s guidance, then they might as well give up and live a comfortable life as nobles.
Su Qin would still give some pointers to those within the three generations of the Su Family.
As for the three generations later… The Su Family would be able to provide their descendants with the best Cultivation resources and environment. It was up to them to see how far they could go.
“Thank you Little Qin.” Su Chenghao and Su Chengyu were overjoyed, quickly thanking Su Qin.
“It’s fine, it is just a small matter.”
Su Qin waved his hand and said.
Soon, a group of children were brought in.
Among them, the older ones seemed to be fifteen or sixteen years old, while the younger ones were only seven or eight years old. At this moment, their expressions were that of excitement… Even if they were the children of the Su Family, not everyone had seen Su Qin. Especially the new generation of the Su Family who were born in the last ten years.
Now that they had the chance to meet the Tang Empire’s Celestial, who wouldn’t look forward to it? Who wouldn’t be excited?
“You all get up.”
Su Qin said casually, when he saw these children kneeling down.
“Yes.” More than a dozen children stood up cautiously. They still lowered their heads and dared not look up at Su Qin.
“Do you like Martial Arts?” Su Qin smiled slightly.
“I like it.”
“I like it too.”
“I want to be a swordsman like Princess Li Wan.”
Several daring children gathered up their courage and said.
“It’s not enough to just like Martial Arts.” Su Qin shook his head. Most of the people in the world liked Martial Arts, but how many could actually endure the loneliness after embarking on the Martial Dao?
Especially the children of the Su Family. Since they were born, they were already nobles. Even if they do not become Cultivators, they could live very well. For them, why pursue Martial Arts?
Even if one pursues Martial Arts, they may not necessarily achieve something significant in the end. With the recovery of vitality, although Cultivation became easier, not everyone could become a powerhouse.
“Look in that direction.”
Su Qin raised his head. His mind moved, and a stone pillar suddenly broke down, transforming into a statue of a man with a blurred face.
This man was holding his hands behind his back and was looking up at the sky. It just looked like an ordinary statue, but the more one stared at it, the more they would feel that their mind was gradually being drawn into it.
Even Su Shiming, Su Chenghao and Su Chengyu felt that their Divine Sense turned sluggish when they looked at the statue for a long time. It was as if the statue had a huge magnet inside it.
“In the next year, you all need to watch and study this statue.”
“After a year, whoever can understand something from this statue can come to me again.”
Su Qin lightly said.
This statue contained a ray of Su Qin’s Primordial Spirit Strength, converging some of his knowledge and countless skills such as in the sword, spear, fists, etc.
In a way, this statue was a guide book. Even a Peak Legend could gain something when staring at it.
After chatting with his father and brothers some more, Su Qin returned to the Right Spring Area. He rested his back against the seat, took out a Spirit Fruit and began eating again.
“Cultivation wouldn’t become easy just because you like it.” Su Qin glanced at the ten plus children of the Su Family who were surrounding the statue.
With Su Qin’s eyesight, he could naturally see that the aptitudes of these children were not bad. Though, they were not any better either. They couldn’t compare to Li Wan back then.
However, Su Qin didn’t care about aptitudes. What Su Qin was looking for was willingness. After all, improving aptitudes was just a matter of thought for the present him.
In Cultivation, in addition to aptitude, the more important thing was the heart. Otherwise, once one encounters any setbacks or difficulties, they would just give up. By then, even if they had a heaven-defying aptitude, what was the use?
Aptitude was only an aid, not the ultimate deciding factor. For example, aptitude could be improved, like the Shaolin Temple’s Yi Jin Jing and other techniques or methods.
But it was very difficult to change the heart.
In addition to heart, comprehension was also very important.
The statue left by Su Qin was to test the mind and comprehension of the children.
If they didn’t get anything from this statue, then some would become impatient and even withdraw. After all, if they were brought around the statue for twelve hours every day, even experienced Cultivators would have a hard time, not to mention children.
This was a test of heart.
As for comprehension, if anyone could comprehend something from this statue, then that was enough.
During the next period of time, Su Qin no longer paid attention to the children of the Su Family who were scratching their ears and cheeks. After all, instructing these children was just something casual and a pastime.
“Now, how should we deal with these two treasures?”
Su Qin’s mind entered the War God Temple. He looked at the Thunder God Bell and the tower-shaped treasure.
“There is a brand in the treasures, especially the tower-shaped treasure. Its real master is probably not Feng Wang, but a Holy Master at the Peak of the Divine Ruin Phase.”
“Feng Wang only had this because the Holy Lord gave it to him, which he would then have to return once they got back in the Immortal Gate.”
Su Qin touched his chin, thinking silently in his heart.
“It’s a pity.”
“If I can train the [Burning Sun Divine Art] to the peak, then with the Great Sun’s True Fire, I would have been able to burn off the brand in the treasure in an instant.”
“However, by the time the [Burning Sun Divine Art] is completed, I wouldn’t be needing these ordinary treasures anymore.” Su Qin thought again and again.
The Great Accomplishment of the [Burning Sun Divine Art] would allow Su Qin to turn into a three-legged Golden Crow. Even if it was only a young one, Su Qin would be able to sweep all of the Earth Immortals.
It was also of a higher life form than Earth Immortals. With a single breath, it could burn almost all of the Earth Immortals.
Ordinary treasures really wouldn’t be able to stop the various Fire Element Magic Powers of the Three-legged Golden Crow.
Of course, against a Broken Void Realm expert, if he only relied on the young Three-legged Golden Crow from the chick period, it could only dish out a power close to a Supreme Powerhouse. Nonetheless, the terror of the Three-legged Golden Crow could not be hidden.
But if a young Three-legged Golden Crow continued to grow for another period of time, then even a Supreme Powerhouse would have to flee far away and may fall from the Great Sun’s True Fire.
This was a Divine Beast!
Ordinary creatures would have to spend hundreds of thousands of years to reach a high level, meanwhile the Three-legged Golden Crow was born in that realm of strength and could crush the former.
Of course, the Three-legged Golden Crow also had some drawbacks. Humans could easily reproduce in countless numbers, but the difficulty of the Three-legged Golden Crow reproducing was as high as the sky. They may not be able to reproduce by one for hundreds of millions of years.
After all, the Heavens and Earth were fair.
“Except for the two treasures, there is also this Tai Yin Order…” Su Qin thought and a token appeared in front of him.
The Tai Yin Order was not a treasure, as it did not have any offensive or defensive capabilities, but it could absorb the Power of Space.
“The Power of Space here can be used to Cultivate the [War God Records].” Su Qin’s eyes lit up and he immediately tried it out.
Su Qin had already obtained the method from Fairy Tai Yin, so he quickly succeeded in refining the Tai Yin Order.
[Hum~]!!!
Strands of silver-white energy began to emerge from the Tai Yin Order. At this moment, Su Qin’s War God Domain suddenly unfolded, swallowing up all of the silver-white energy.
Cultivating the [War God Records] and condensing the War God Domain required the use of Space Crystals. The reason why Su Qin was able to start Cultivating the War God Domain was because he devoured the one in the Void Gourd.
However, the Space Crystal was essentially just some kind of condensation of the Power of Space. So whether it was devouring the Space Crystal or the Power of Space directly, it could improve the War God Domain.
After a moment, the Power of Space in the Tai Yin Order was gradually exhausted.
The Tai Yin Token was originally used by Fairy Tai Yin and the other disciples to pass through the Void Passage. Now, after several years had passed, although it had recovered a little, it still had not recovered to its peak.
“It’s still not enough.”
Su Qin took out another milky white fruit. This fruit also contained a trace of Space Power, but it was still far from satisfying the needs in Cultivating the War God Domain.
“The Power of Space?”
Su Qin’s eyes narrowed slightly.
The Power of Space was ubiquitous and only the Supreme Powerhouses could master it. However, special Spirit Fruits, such as this milky white fruit, could slowly absorb some Space Power as they grow and produce some over a long period of time.
Some Life Treasures refined by Supreme Powerhouses could also do the same and absorb the Power of Space like the Tai Yin Order.
Time flowed like the river and several months passed in a blink of an eye.
During this time, in addition to waiting for the Void Passage to take shape, Su Qin was polishing his Cultivation.
Su Qin had already entered the middle stage of the Return To Origin Phase. In just a few years, he had Cultivated from the early stage of the Return To Origin Phase to the middle stage. Even if he was placed in the Immortal Gate, such a feat was outstanding. Other than those who had awakened their bloodline, who else could do it?
Every step in the Earth Immortal Realm was extremely difficult. Many Earth Immortals would get stuck in a certain realm for decades or hundreds of years. It was a common occurrence.
The bloodline descendants rely on the power of their bloodlines to advance by leaps and bounds, but Su Qin had none of that.
Although Fairy Tai Yin and Taoist Wan Wan all believe that Su Qin was related to a Supreme Powerhouse, or even a reincarnation of a Supreme Powerhouse, Su Qin himself was clear that he was none of those. He achieved his current level on his own.
“These little guys…”
Su Qin lowered his eyes and looked at the dozen or so children of the Su Family, standing next to the statue outside the Right Spring Area.
In the past few months, five or six children could not bear the long-term loneliness and quit, but most still persisted.
These children all knew that as long as they passed this level, although they would not be able to become Su Qin’s disciple like Princess Li Wan, at least they would be able to enter Su Qin’s eyes.
“There is talent in the making.” Su Qin’s eyes fell on the youngest, a seven-year-old child.
The child blankly stared at the statue, as if he was in a stupor, but Su Qin could see that the other party’s mind had already begun to carefully sense the statue.
“I hope by the time I return from the Nine Swords Realm, they can realize something.”
Su Qin turned his eyes away and looked at a certain position outside Chang’an City, where the Void Passage was.
“It should be almost formed.”
Su Qin stepped out and disappeared in place. He reappeared in front of the Void Passage at almost exactly the same time.
At this moment, the distorted void not far away had completely calmed down. An entrance had emerged, which seemed vaguely connected to an unknown world.
“The Nine Swords Realm opened up by Supreme Powerhouse Jiu Li…?”
Su Qin looked towards the entrance with a look of anticipation.
In the Immortal Gate, there were various inheritances such as the Holy Lands left by Supreme Powerhouses. There were the Holy Masters at the Peak Divine Ruin Phase and Supreme Beings. There were even direct descendants who had awakened their bloodlines.
In order to be safe, Su Qin did not intend to rush into the Immortal Gate before he had enough strength.
But the Nine Swords Realm was far less dangerous than the Immortal Gate.
Of course, this was not to say that Supreme Powerhouse Jiu Li was not as good as the the Supreme Powerhouses that opened the Immortal Gate. It was just that the Nine Swords Realm was just something Jiu Li opened casually, while the Immortal Gate was created in order for the Supreme Powerhouses’ lineage and inheritance to be left inside it. With this, the two couldn’t be compared at all.
