Chapter 78: So Fast!
Chapter 78: So Fast!
Complex and cryptic Buddhist scriptures surfaced in Su Changqing's mind.
At this moment, it seemed as if his eyes were fixed only on the world ahead.
"Earth Contraction."
Su Changqing murmured to himself, lifting his foot and taking a step.
Whoosh!
Su Changqing's figure seemed to blur, and when he reappeared, he was already three meters away.
"Is this all it can do?"
Su Changqing frowned, dissatisfied with this speed.
Most importantly, it was a far cry from the description of the secret technique.
Earth Contraction was supposed to make vast distances as small as a step, allowing one to traverse mountains and rivers in a single stride.
Compared to that, moving just three meters seemed like a joke.
However, this wasn't Su Changqing's fault. The main issue was the short time he had spent practicing.
From the moment he deciphered the scriptures to now, it had only been a day.
The fact that he could use it at all was already astonishing.
"Hmm? This technique is quite extraordinary?"
Xuan Qingzi, who had been watching from the side, looked at Su Changqing with surprise.
He hadn't noticed how Su Changqing had moved three meters away.
It was as if Su Changqing's body had blurred, and then he reappeared in a different position.
Although it was extraordinary, Xuan Qingzi didn't pay too much attention.
A three-meter step, while impressive, was still far from the standards of the many prodigies here.
"Changqing, do you need some help?"
Xuan Qingzi stepped forward, his fingertips dancing in the air, and a faint, illusory talisman appeared.
It was a Daoist talisman, the Divine Speed Talisman. Although it was only a 'form' of the technique, it significantly enhanced speed.
"No, the elders aren't fools. Cheating won't get me any points."
Su Changqing smiled, then looked ahead at the Heavenly Path, determinedly saying, "I originally planned to practice this later, but now it seems I'll have to rely on last-minute efforts."
"Fortunately, this path is long enough for me to master the secret technique."
With that, he looked at Xuan Qingzi and smiled, "Daoist Priest, you don't need to wait for me. I don't want to lower your score. I'll manage on my own."
Xuan Qingzi chuckled but didn't leave as Su Changqing suggested. Instead, he stayed close by, quietly observing.
His benefactor was Su Changqing, not the Little Immortal Sect.
If the Little Immortal Sect didn't accept Su Changqing, he would leave even if he got a top score. He was clear about this.
Thus, Xuan Qingzi followed Su Changqing from a short distance, enjoying the beautiful surroundings.
Meanwhile, Su Changqing's expression alternated between furrowed brows and joyful smiles.
His steps gradually became lighter, and his speed visibly increased.
From the initial three meters, he gradually reached four meters, then five.
Xuan Qingzi, who had been leisurely following behind, gradually felt the pressure and looked at Su Changqing with surprise.
When he noticed the secret technique Su Changqing was using, his eyes widened in shock.
"Is this... Earth Contraction in an Inch?"
"Is this a divine ability?"
Xuan Qingzi was stunned and focused intently on the path Su Changqing took while using the technique.
When he saw Su Changqing take a step, and the surrounding air remained still, with no dust or wind, but his body suddenly disappeared, his eyes widened even more.
"Truly Earth Contraction in an Inch!"
As a Daoist, Xuan Qingzi was very familiar with this technique.
Initially, he could have recognized it, but he hadn't thought about it that way.
Mainly because... Earth Contraction in an Inch was a Daoist divine ability!
It was even more powerful than a Heaven-tier secret technique, far beyond what low-level cultivators could practice.
At the divine ability level, it wasn't just a simple 'technique' or 'method.' It involved 'the Dao.'
The elements of wind, fire, lightning, the changing seasons, the rising and setting of the moon and sun, the cycle of all things in the world.
One needed to feel the natural world and understand the existence of 'the Dao' to practice divine abilities.
But now, Su Changqing, who has no cultivation at all, can actually sense the heavens and earth?
"By the Ancestor of the Dao, are you joking?"
Xuan Qingzi stared dumbfoundedly, watching as Su Changqing's speed increased exponentially.
This meant that the other party was making terrifying progress, visible even to the naked eye.
...
Meanwhile.
As the Path to Heaven descended, tens of thousands of prodigies displayed their prowess, each stepping onto the jade staircase with astonishing speed.
In just a short while, everyone vanished into the mist.
However, only two people were left behind, slowly making their way forward.
"Haha, you were so full of yourself earlier. I thought you were something."
"Turns out, you can't even see the back of my master."
Zhou Yu's guardian looked at Uncle Fu and sneered, "Old man, see that? That's the gap. The gap that the brat will never close in a lifetime."
Seeing this, Fang Yi's guardian realized that Uncle Fu was with Su Changqing.
And since Fang Yi had just been humiliated by Su Changqing, he wasn't about to miss this chance to rub salt in the wound.
He looked at Uncle Fu and smirked, "Sure enough, a master like that deserves a servant like you."
"A old man and a village bumpkin dreaming of stepping into an immortal sect? Ha, by the time he reaches the end, the sky will be dark."
The two guardians' mockery made Uncle Fu's face darken.
But when he looked up at the depths of the sky where Su Nan was, he forcibly suppressed his murderous intent.
"Want to live? Then get lost!"
Zhou Yu and Fang Yi's guardians' eyes flashed with cold light.
But just as they were about to do something, the other guardians on the platform let out exclamations of amazement.
"That guy... he's so fast!"
Uncle Fu and the two guardians were stunned. When they turned to look at the Path to Heaven, their faces were filled with shock.
...
On the Path to Heaven.
Zhou Yu walked with his hands behind his back, his feet treading on a purple-golden dragon shadow, his clothes flapping in the wind, moving at an incredible speed.
At that moment, a figure rapidly approached from behind, a sword seal forming under his feet, flashing to Zhou Yu's side.
"Zhou brother, your Ascending Dragon Technique has become even more proficient. It won't be long before you can form your innate secret skill."
Fang Yi chuckled, but his speed was no less than Zhou Yu's.
"Fang brother, you flatter me. When it comes to speed, who can match the Sword Tomb's Sword Riding Technique?"
Zhou Yu smiled faintly and then looked ahead, saying, "But it won't be so smooth from here on. The Path to Heaven is a Saint-level treasure, and there will be a Saint's pressure ahead."
"Those with weak wills will find it hard to move an inch."
Fang Yi laughed confidently, "Since we can lead tens of thousands of prodigies in speed, our wills naturally won't be inferior to anyone else's!"
At that moment, there were very few people around them, and only a handful ahead.
In terms of speed, they were undoubtedly in the top tier.
"That brat didn't catch up?"
Zhou Yu glanced back, a slight smile on his lips.
"Him?"
Fang Yi snorted, "A village bumpkin who can't even be considered a normal prodigy, how could he catch up to me?"
Before he could finish speaking, the space beside them suddenly trembled!
There, a handsome young man in a hemp robe walked with his eyes closed, a smile on his face.
It seemed he hadn't noticed the two beside him. With a light step, the surrounding winds and clouds retreated, and the mountains and rivers shifted!
In an instant, he disappeared from their sight, leaving only a faintly glowing footprint on the jade steps.
Zhou Yu and Fang Yi stopped in their tracks, staring dumbfoundedly, muttering, "So fast!"
