Chapter 521: Ten Days Later, the Prophet Constantine XI
Chapter 521: Ten Days Later, the Prophet Constantine XI
"Everything's fine. We'll stay as well," Constantine XI smiled at Tao Qian. "Su Yu helped us in the past, so it's only right that we stay to protect him."
Constantine XI, or Constantine for short, was referring to events that had taken place a long time ago.
Three months ago, he, King Arthur, and thirty other Western ancient cultivators had migrated east to China, settling in Yunlu Mountain.
At the time, there were significant barriers between Eastern and Western cultivators.
After all, the two groups had rarely interacted in ancient times, and there were many differences in their cultural practices, daily habits, and cultivation techniques, which often led to conflicts.
(Actually, the main issue was that the spirit energy produced by the spring was initially very limited, and a portion of it had to be shared with the Western cultivators, which naturally caused dissatisfaction among the Chinese cultivators.)
Back then, Su Yu was only a Fourth Rank cultivator. When he heard about the situation from Comrade Zhang, he took the initiative to mediate at Yunlu Mountain.
Thanks to Su Yu's efforts, both sides agreed to set aside their differences, find common ground, and increase communication.
This led to the current harmonious situation, where today, there is no longer a distinction between Eastern and Western cultivators. Everyone now shares a common name—Blue Star Cultivators.
Because of this, the Western cultivators, including Constantine and King Arthur, had a very favorable impression of Su Yu and volunteered to stay and protect his safety.
After Constantine finished speaking, King Arthur stroked his thick beard and added, "Constantine is right. Besides, Daoist Brother Tao Qian, you are only at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. If something urgent were to happen, you might not be able to handle it. Having the two of us here would make things much easier."
"Alright then," Tao Qian agreed, smiling warmly. "If that's the case, the three of us will guard Su Yu together. And while we're at it, we can discuss some cultivation techniques."
"Ha, as you Chinese say, ‘it's what I've been hoping for,’" Constantine replied enthusiastically.
Su Yu, through the walls of the seawater palace, could sense all the movements outside.
With the protection of the three seniors, he fearlessly absorbed spirit energy and trained intensely, striving to reach the Seventh Rank.
Time passed slowly as he trained.
Before he knew it, ten days had gone by, and it was now October 22nd.
...
During these ten days, Su Yu spent three days bringing his level to 79 with 99% experience. Then, he began the arduous process of breaking through his bottleneck.
The entire process of breaking through the bottleneck was expected to take seven days, and today, October 22nd, was the final day!
At 10:00 AM, Tao Qian, Constantine, and King Arthur stood in the sky, observing the seawater palace below.
The seawater palace was rapidly expanding and contracting, and during these changes, it continuously shifted colors—sometimes red, sometimes blue, sometimes white, and occasionally even a dazzling array of colors, making it a beautiful sight.
The spirit energy in the seawater palace had been completely absorbed by Su Yu five days ago. Now, he was focusing all his energy on breaking through his bottleneck, though it was unclear when he would succeed.
Tao Qian turned to Constantine and King Arthur and asked, "Fellow Daoists, do you think Su Yu's breakthrough is going smoothly?"
"Well," King Arthur hesitated and shook his head. "I can't really tell."
After all, our cultivation system is quite different from the one in the game. It’s hard to draw any useful conclusions.”
Jun Shiyi nodded in agreement. “I feel the same way.”
Sighing, Tao Qian added, “I hope Su Yu can successfully break through to the Seventh Rank. That would make him the first Seventh Rank cultivator on our Blue Planet.”
Su Yu was the first Sixth Rank cultivator after the awakening of psychic powers on Blue Planet. Now, he was on the verge of becoming the first Seventh Rank cultivator, effectively making history!
However, at this moment, Jun Shiyi’s expression turned slightly hesitant, as if he was struggling with a decision.
Tao Qian, who was observant, immediately noticed this and asked, “Jun Shiyi, is something on your mind?”
After a moment’s thought, Jun Shiyi spoke, “Actually, my cultivation technique is somewhat similar to Su Yu’s. It grants me the ability to perceive the future to some extent.”
He paused before continuing, “I can sense significant events that will happen in the future. For instance, when my Constantinople was conquered by the Ottoman Empire, I had a premonition of this event.”
“Perceive the future?” Tao Qian’s expression changed.
In the past, he would have dismissed the idea of “perceiving the future” as a special ability. No major cultivators in the Huaxia region were known to possess such a power, and those who claimed to have it were often proven to be frauds by history.
But things were different now.
Su Yu’s success had already proven that prophecy could be real. Given his trust in Jun Shiyi, Tao Qian didn’t believe Jun Shiyi would lie about something so crucial.
King Arthur, whose thoughts aligned with Tao Qian’s, immediately asked, “Jun Shiyi, what exactly did you perceive?”
“I sensed that a significant event is about to happen!” Jun Shiyi’s expression was solemn. “And I feel that this event is likely to involve Su Yu!”
Tao Qian and King Arthur were momentarily at a loss for words, their minds racing to figure out what to do.
Then Jun Shiyi spoke again, “I believe we should invite Elder Yang here. He is the most powerful among us. With him here, we can handle any plots against Su Yu.”
King Arthur nodded in agreement. “I think that’s a good idea.”
Jun Shiyi turned to Tao Qian and said earnestly, “Tao Qian, since we are the two most powerful here, we should stay to protect Su Yu. Could you please go and fetch Elder Yang?”
“Sure,” Tao Qian was about to agree.
But then he suddenly felt something was off.
To contact Elder Yang, he would need to travel to Busan, which was 80 kilometers away. At his flying speed, it would take him about an hour and a half.
On the other hand, Jun Shiyi and King Arthur, being Sixth Rank cultivators, could fly much faster and would only need about half an hour to reach Busan.
Was Jun Shiyi asking him to go as a way to get him out of the way for some nefarious purpose?!
In fact, Tao Qian had considered the possibility that Jun Shiyi and King Arthur were traitors ten days ago. Their decision to stay and protect Su Yu seemed suspicious.
Additionally, Jun Shiyi’s sudden announcement of his prophecy ability was also strange.
Deep down, Tao Qian had always been wary of Westerners.
Putting all this together, there was a real possibility that Jun Shiyi and King Arthur were traitors, and they were planning something right now!
