C830 July!
The Nether Island was an island that could be moved. Normally, it would sink under the sea and only appear once every ten years. Each time, it would appear in a different location. Each time it appeared, it would only last for three days. After those three days, it would immediately sink back into the sea. It could be said that it had completely disappeared without a trace.
The map that Su Ye got from the Immortal Graveyard regarding the Mu Clan Ancestral Land was actually drawn by the ancestor of the Wood Palace when he calculated the location of the Nether Island thousands of years ago. At most, this map would be useful in searching for the Nether Island. However, it was impossible to find the island through this map.
According to the pattern of Nether Island appearing once every ten years, it was still a full year before the next Nether Island appearance.
In the past nine years, Mu Shang had already roughly calculated three locations that were more likely based on the rules of Nether Island's appearance before it appeared. If Su Ye did not appear, Mu Shang himself would have been prepared to head to the Nether Island the next time he went to the island.
The reason was simple.
Regardless of whether it was his true essence cultivation or his spiritual force cultivation, Mu Shang had already reached the point where he could break the limit of this world's laws. However, he could not directly break it open because he had no idea of the consequences of forcefully breaking the world's rules.
There was an ancient Teleportation Formation on the Nether Island. That was the correct way to leave this world. Only through that Teleportation Formation could one return to the path of the brave. Many of the ancestors of the Mu Clan had left in this manner as well.
With this, Su Ye could only wait for another year.
This year, he obviously could not wait in vain, so he simply stayed behind in the Wood Palace.
Mu Xu, Mu Lieshan and the rest of the Mu Clan members who came with him, including Immortal Graveyard Dugu Baihong and the others also stayed at the Wood Palace.
Mu Shang specially made a manor for them to face the open sea, for them to live in.
However, Su Ye did not live in the manor.
He was invited by Mu Shang to live in a different place. Other than having a delicacy for spirit fruits and fine wine, Mu Shang also had to come every day. He asked Su Ye about the situation of the 13 empires in bloody world, and after getting to know Su Ye well, he also asked him about the profoundness of the Great Way of the Heavens and Earth.
Mu Shang did not have a domineering and arrogant temperament to begin with. To him, Su Ye was originally just a well-established sect, he would teach Su Ye every day and be extremely modest, but Su Ye did not hide anything. He straightforwardly gave Mu Shang many pointers on the wooden path, and at the same time, asked Mu Shang for advice on how to cultivate his mind.
Mu Shang was also an amazing person, after seeing Su Ye's interest in the cultivation of the soul, he simply brought over a few books related to the cultivation of the soul that was passed down by the Mu Clan ancestors, allowing Su Ye to continue comprehending them.
It is worth mentioning.
Although the Mu Clan had created a sect for the cultivation of the soul, they did not manage to create an actual cultivation technique for the spirit. The books that Mu Shang had brought over only recorded the experiences of the people who successfully stepped onto the path of the heart.
In other words, the cultivation of the soul was untraceable. There was no fixed pattern at all. Only people with exceptional perception would be able to understand the cultivation method of the soul through these ancient books.
Su Ye was not disappointed.
This was because he could understand that the soul was originally the most elusive existence in the world, and the soul transformation was also the most complex. It was even more untraceable than the changes in the Heavenly Dao.
Furthermore, everyone's mind was different, and the changes that would occur would also be different. Even if the ancestors of the Mu Clan had created a technique to train the soul, they probably wouldn't be able to directly apply it to everyone.
Therefore, the only way to step onto the path of spiritual cultivation was to rely on himself. He could only control his own mind.
This indeed required an extreme level of comprehension, and also required a perfect grasp of one's own heart. However, Su Ye did not lack in this kind of comprehension.
Thus, after Su Ye guided Mu Shang on the wooden path for three months, and after Mu Shang began his closed door cultivation to digest everything, he also decided to close door cultivation, and started to study the way of the heart.
Cultivation had no sense of time.
Seven months passed by unknowingly.
The commotion caused by Su Ye killing Qing Xian Island's Eunuch, Nan Feng, and trespassing into the Wood Palace had long since dissipated after the world shocking battle between Su Ye and Su Ye.
The reason was simple. The expert of Qing Xian Island, Xie Liu Zhen, took the name scroll of the Island Lord after the battle and secretly contacted the elder of the Wood Palace, Mu Hengzhi. He confirmed from Mu Heng that the earth-shaking battle had been between Mu Shang and the person who killed Zhou Nan Feng.
How terrifying Mu Shang was, Xie Liu really didn't know, even Mo Chou didn't know. However, they knew that an elder at the level of Mu Hengzhi in the Wood Palace would be able to instantly defeat them in one move, whereas Mu Hengzhi was completely unable to even defend against half of Mu Shang's move. It was obvious that they weren't even fart in front of Mu Shang.
Such a tyrannical Mu Shang actually lost to Su Ye, and it was said that he lost it easily. After Mu Shang's defeat, in order to warn the people of Wood Palace, he calmly admitted that Su Ye did not use his full strength at all during that battle, and the amount of strength he used was not even ten percent.
How could this Su Ye be something that Qing Xian Island could afford to offend?
Forget about killing only five people, such as South Wind, Ancient Records, and Xuan Ming, even if Su Ye killed five hundred immortals of Qing Xian Island, they wouldn't dare to fart, because in front of Su Ye, they didn't even have the qualifications to fart.
Just for the sake of five dead people pestering Su Ye, in exchange Su Ye attacked Qing Xian Island in a fit of rage.
Mo Chou decisively extinguished his thoughts of revenge, and when he truly understood that the reason why they were killed by Su Ye was because he wanted to tease Su Ye and the others when they were on board the boat, he almost vomited blood. He couldn't even be bothered to protect the dignity of the island's master as he jumped up and started cursing loudly.
This was the typical way to court death. This was the typical way to trap oneself to death.
To come up and humiliate others without knowing their background, what kind of crazy behavior was this?
He deserved to die! He deserved to die! He deserved to die!
It was one thing for him to have died for his sins, but it was even more so for Qing Xian Island to have offended a super strong expert who could destroy the history of Qing Xian Island without any reason and even more so to die for his sins. If not for the fact that Gu Zhi and the rest were already dead, he would have personally killed them.
Therefore, not only did Mo Chang Xu stop thinking of taking revenge on Su Ye, he even took the initiative to issue a personal edict to the entire overseas immortal world, reviewing all of the past mistakes made by the Immortal Island. He harshly condemned and punished the Immortal Cultivators who had acted arrogantly and arrogantly outside the Immortal Island for the past dozens of years, as if he was suffering great pain in his heart, as if he wanted to change his mind and turn back into a new person.
Those who were used to the Qingxian Immortal Island being arrogant and despotic were not used to it. Some even worried that Qingxian Island was holding back some powerful move and trying to do something bad. Everyone was panic-stricken. Many of the forces that were weaker than them feared that they would get into trouble, so they simply ordered their disciples to return. If they couldn't afford to mess with them, then why couldn't they hide?
However, what was shocking was that after Qing Xian Island issued their own imperial edict, even the Immortal Island like Mo Xian Island and Violet Immortal Island, which were also part of the Ten Great Immortal Island, actually issued their own edicts, each of them was full of passion and did their best to denounce themselves, they even made changes, and issued even stricter punishments to restrain their own sect, they even called upon the Immortals of the Ocean Immortal Island to supervise, and said that they welcome the Four Great Immortals to supervise, and if they discover that the people of the Ten Great Immortal Island were arrogant and unreasonable, they could directly report to the Ten Great Immortal Island and give a satisfactory result.
Especially after a month in a row, the sea realm would hardly see the people of the Ten Great Island of the Immortals again. The world suddenly felt lonely, unaccustomed, and even more terrified, thinking that this was the end of the world. The Ten Great Island of the Immortals was going to have an unprecedented catastrophe.
Everyone felt themselves to be in danger.
For the next three months, a rare scene of 10,000 miles of sea appearing on the overseas Immortal Island without a single person to be seen. He really didn't dare to go out.
It was only when someone who was well-informed revealed that Su Ye had killed Phoenixes and charged into the Wood Palace, easily defeated Mu Shang and stayed in the Wood Palace to guide him in his cultivation did all the overseas immortals suddenly understand. They completely understood that the Ten Great Immortal Islands were not suffering from a stroke, they were just holding their breath and protecting their lives.
They all knew that they were too arrogant in the past, and that they were all afraid that their own sect would provoke the wrath of an unrivaled expert like Su Ye, that was why they decided to protect themselves.
"Damn it! Indeed, evil-doers have evil people to grind them with!"
When the few overseas immortals secretly laughed that the Ten Great Immortal Islands were originally a weak place, they all felt grateful towards Su Ye. If not for the sudden appearance of such a powerful man, how could the overseas Immortal Island be as peaceful and peaceful as it was now?
However, Su Ye did not know about any of these, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't have any special thoughts. To him, the Ten Great Immortal Islands or Qing Xian Island were nothing, they had never been in his heart.
During these seven months, he had focused all of his energy on comprehending his soul. Using his most terrifying super perception, he comprehended his own soul, and he comprehended every single thought, belief, and distracting thought, even some intangible thoughts that he had never noticed before.
Suddenly, he had a feeling that he had never felt before, a feeling that he knew himself better than he had ever felt before. A formless and illusory world of the mind slowly appeared after seven months of enlightenment …
