Chapter 163 Those Blazing Golden Eyes
Although this force of heaven and earth did help Su Yu's spiritual power increase, he was not so presumptuous as to comprehend it on the spot.
As Wang Dong'er and Su Yu arrived, a group of gray-clad men came out of Haotian Fort to greet them, but judging from their demeanor, they were clearly not there to welcome them.
"Don't worry, everyone go back," Wang Dong'er said to them.
With Wang Dong'er speaking, they didn't linger and each took flight, disappearing into the clouds.
It must be said that the Clear Sky Sect has a solid foundation. Every one of these people is at least a Soul King. In other sects, having such a large number of Soul Kings would be an astonishing fighting force on the battlefield.
"Don't overthink it. Let's talk about it when we see my father. I'll help you. It's easy to get lost here, and we might even fall off a cliff if we're not careful."
Holding Su Yu's hand, Wang Dong'er continued to venture deeper into the sea of clouds. However, Su Yu remained silent throughout, instead discussing with Elder Yi the techniques employed within the sea of clouds.
It must be said that the methods used by those who arranged these seas of clouds were truly remarkable. Even Su Yu, with his own spiritual power, could not penetrate them even slightly. Despite employing various detection methods, it was all in vain.
No wonder even Huo's powerful mental strength couldn't work back then; now it seems perfectly normal.
"How is it? Can't detect anything, huh? So just stick close to me, or you might run into some danger." Wang Dong'er chuckled.
Su Yu shook his head helplessly and said, "This isn't like meeting your parents, it's like venturing into a dragon's den or a tiger's lair! Even when I was ambushed by the Body Sect at Mingde Hall in the Sun Moon Empire, it wasn't this thrilling..."
Although we cannot yet detect what is inside the sea of clouds, according to Elder Yi's findings, there are soul beasts, and even some that are ten thousand years old.
The thought of encountering hordes of spirit beasts in a place like this is enough to give me a headache...
After following Wang Dong'er for a while, Su Yu had roughly remembered the direction. However, it didn't matter if he didn't remember it all, since he had Elder Yi to help him anyway.
"We're almost there. When you see my eldest and second uncles, you'd better watch what you say," Wang Dong'er reminded her.
"knew……"
I already knew that; it's just the Great Ming, the Two Ming, the Azure Bull Python, and the Titan Giant Ape.
Finally, the view opened up before us. The surrounding clouds and mist, which had been floating overhead, were now beneath our feet.
Standing above the sea of clouds, the grandeur of the world is even more breathtaking than before. It must be said that the Haotian Sect is truly a very suitable place for cultivation. This place is not only suitable for cultivating spiritual power, but also for people at the level of a Super Douluo.
Su Yu continued to look up, and what he saw was a castle, about three hundred meters above his head, a majestic castle suspended above the sea of clouds atop a mountain.
The gray castle exuded an ancient charm, possessing an imposing presence. Amidst the drifting sea of clouds and the steep mountainside, Su Yu couldn't fathom how this castle had been built.
If nothing unexpected happens, this is the location of the Haotian Sect, Haotian Fortress.
Haotian Fortress is different from Mingdu, the capital of the Sun Moon Empire. When Su Yu arrived in Mingdu, the capital of the Sun Moon Empire, he was amazed by its extremely modern development.
It can be said that the architecture there is a symbol of the Sun Moon Empire's unparalleled soul-guided technology, and even its pinnacle in this era.
However, the enormous castle built atop the mountain that stood before Su Yu could only be described as a miracle.
Although it is unknown whether this is the work of a deity or the result of repairs and modifications by generations of Haotian Sect members, it is still enough to be awe-inspiring.
After all, even with the development of soul tools to this day, and their application already gradually changing the lives of people on the Douluo Continent, building such a castle on such a steep mountain is almost impossible.
Therefore, sometimes, one really has to admire the wonders of nature.
Led by Wang Dong, Su Yu did not choose to climb, but instead flew directly to the top of the mountain where the castle was located.
At the summit, the mountain winds were even more biting, and the air was thick with moisture. Despite the treacherous terrain, the castle, standing proudly at the very center of the summit, remained steadfast and unwavering.
Above the castle's arched gate are three large characters: "Haotian Castle".
"It seems my guess was right. You really are from the Haotian Sect. It seems your status is quite high," Su Yu said.
"Please." Wang Dong'er gestured to Su Yu, and seeing that Su Yu's expression was a little strange, a smug smile involuntarily appeared on her face.
Wang Dong said, "You are the first person I brought back. My house usually doesn't have any guests."
Su Yu chuckled and said, "What's wrong? Do you want to bring other people home?"
"Who says I can't have guests at home!"
Before Wang Dong'er could answer, a loud and deep voice rang out from inside the castle.
Su Yu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall figure coming out of the castle to greet him.
He was a very strong middle-aged man with a head of short, fine hair like steel needles. He had a dignified appearance and a resolute face that looked as if it had been carved by a knife and axe.
His eyes, however, were brownish-yellow, with a faint glint of gold. His grey robe couldn't completely conceal his muscular physique. Clearly, this was no friendly visitor; he was probably heartbroken that his prized possession had been taken by a scoundrel, and this was likely a show of force to intimidate him.
The moment he appeared, Su Yu immediately felt an overwhelming pressure rushing towards him. This pressure had no killing intent; it was simply an attempt to completely suppress Su Yu with its aura and spirit.
As their eyes met, the middle-aged man's gaze immediately fell upon Su Yu. He brought not only pressure in terms of aura, but also a terrifying mental pressure. The already powerful pressure intensified as his gaze fell upon Su Yu, as if he wanted to crush him into pieces.
Su Yu did not back down. Under the powerful pressure, he slowly raised his head and stared fiercely at the middle-aged man.
The moment Su Yu's gaze met that of the middle-aged strong man, the old man in his mind did not hesitate and mobilized his mental power to fully resist the pressure. If the other party had not been without malice, the old man would have already launched an attack.
With Elder Yi's spiritual support, Su Yu had no worries at all. He fought against the terrifying pressure with all his might. At the same time, a faint phantom slowly emerged in Su Yu's mind and roared deafeningly in Su Yu's spiritual sea.
At this moment, Su Yu's eyes had completely transformed into fiery golden pupils. Under the gaze of these fiery golden pupils, the aura of the middle-aged man in front of him was instantly shattered!
In just two or three seconds, things took many turns, and finally, it all came to an end with Su Yu's golden eyes fading. But it was in those brief two or three seconds that Su Yu realized very clearly that even with all his current mental strength, he couldn't possibly retaliate against such pressure, let alone break through the opponent's pressure and aura.
If it weren't for the help of the illusory image of the Ancestral Dragon in his mind, Su Yu would never have been able to crush the opponent's momentum in an instant.
As both of them looked surprised, Wang Dong'er glared indignantly at the middle-aged man and said, "Second Uncle, what are you doing? We just got back, and you're already bullying Su Yu."
The middle-aged man chuckled and said, "It's his own fault for saying we don't have any guests. Young man, it's not that we don't have guests, it's just that not many people are qualified to enter our Haotian Fortress. However, you certainly are qualified. Alright, enough talk, come in."
Hearing the other party's conciliatory words, Su Yu didn't hold it against him and respectfully said, "Uncle, you flatter me."
Clearly, Erming's plan failed. Who could have imagined that Su Yu could not only withstand his pressure, but also break through it in an instant!
What kind of strength and mental fortitude is needed to break through his pressure in an instant? Judging from this kid's age, his cultivation level could never surpass mine, yet he was able to break through my aura in a single moment. This alone is enough to prove just how amazing this kid's methods are.
At this moment, Wang Dong also spoke up, saying, "Su Yu, this is my second father. You can just call him your second uncle."
The middle-aged man glared at Wang Dong'er and said, "Dong'er, are you really not joking with me? But you little rascal, you do have some skills. For Dong'er's sake, I'll let you call me Second Uncle this time."
Wang Dong'er's worried expression instantly turned to joy. Just as she was thinking of saying a few more words to the middle-aged man, he turned around and went into the castle first.
Looking at the other person's somewhat helpless expression, Su Yu knew that he had passed the first hurdle. He just didn't know how his uncle would make things difficult for him next.
When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it.
Occasionally, some gray-clad figures would walk by in Haotian Fortress. Judging from their aura and soul power, they had all reached the level of Soul Saint. It must be said that although Haotian Sect had remained secluded from the world, it had not fallen behind in terms of strength.
After settling Su Yu in at Haotian Fort, Wang Dong'er made an excuse to leave.
However, Su Yu's purpose in coming here was not to get their approval, but simply to pay his respects to the two of them.
Whether you agree or not is your business; whether we can be together is Dong'er's and my business.
After Wang Dong'er left, Su Yu quietly observed the layout of the room. If nothing unexpected happened, this should be the room where the Cold Jade Bed was located.
The third floor of Haotian Fort.
At this moment, Wang Dong'er was pouting, looking at the two people in the large room with a dissatisfied expression.
Inside the large room, his second father was sitting there, and another middle-aged man was sitting in the main seat.
The middle-aged man seated in the main seat had long, dark blue hair that cascaded over his broad, imposing shoulders. His eyes were also dark blue, and though seemingly simple, they possessed an indescribable, unique quality. There was a sense that he could barely suppress the powerful aura emanating from within him.
Dressed in a white, fitted outfit, he was talking to a middle-aged man with black hair as black as steel needles.
"Uncle, Uncle, what's wrong with you two! I finally managed to bring him back, how can you bully him like this? What if he thinks our family is so domineering?" As soon as Wang Dong'er entered, she questioned the two men.
"Dong'er, we are your fathers after all. We should test him for you. If he can't even pass our test, what right does he have to like you? Besides, I haven't even made things difficult for him yet. He's not in a hurry, so what are you afraid of?" The short-haired middle-aged man laughed.
Wang Dong'er said with dissatisfaction, "Didn't I already explain this to you before? You've asked all the questions you needed to ask, and you've even investigated his family. What's there to worry about? Last time, you interrogated him like you were investigating a wanted criminal, as if you wanted to dig up even his ancestors..."
The middle-aged man in white sitting in the main seat smiled slightly and said in a deep voice, "Little Dong'er, don't be silly. It's not that we don't trust your judgment, but as your father, we still have to help you choose. Besides, your lover is simple. He can even instantly crush your second father's pressure. That's not something that can be done just by having good talent."
"What? Su Yu broke through Second Uncle's oppressive aura?" Wang Dong'er asked in surprise.
The short-haired middle-aged man said, "Your friend is quite extraordinary! It's not surprising that he possesses a ten-thousand-year-old soul, but what I find strange is that there seems to be an unusual and extremely powerful force within him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to shatter your second father's aura in an instant."
"Strange power?" This time it was Wang Dong's turn to be surprised. "Impossible. Although I know Su Yu has some secrets, and he guesses I have some secrets too, I basically know everything about him. Even if he has unusual power, it's impossible for him to break through Second Father's pressure, after all, he's only level 50 and hasn't even obtained his fifth spirit ring yet. Second Father, are you mistaken?"
The middle-aged man in white said, "If your second father is wrong, do you think my senses are wrong too? Although that power only dissipated for a brief moment, here in Haotian Fortress, as long as other powers appear, I can't possibly fail to detect them. Xiao Dong'er, think carefully, did your friend experience anything different during the time you spent together?"
Mentioning this matter, Wang Dong'er couldn't help but think of a scene in the Star Dou Great Forest. At that time, Su Yu was also inexplicably captured by a powerful soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest. Now that she thought about it, it might really be related to that incident.
Still a "once in my lifetime" series. I just discovered something really disheartening: both are Douluo Continent II fanfics, but mine is actually inferior to a book that hasn't been updated for three months. Sigh...
