Chapter 35: The Classic Treatment of a Passerby

Upon reaching the Soul Transformation Stage, one can perceive the power of heaven and earth. It is precisely because of this that a Lightning Tribulation descends when breaking through to the Soul Transformation Stage.

There are many who were not sufficiently prepared and perished within the Lightning Tribulation.

However, breaking through at the Profound Heaven Sect was clearly inappropriate. He needed to go to a secluded place to Breakthrough, and he also had to set up a Formation to prevent others from finding out; he did not want to cause too much of a commotion.

Soon, Su Yu found a deserted place where no one existed for a thousand miles, making it the perfect spot for a Breakthrough.

Fortunately, his Formation skills were decent; using a Formation to conceal the phenomenon of the Lightning Tribulation for a while was not a problem.

Subsequently, Su Yu waved his hand, and streaks of Formation Flags flew into the surroundings, instantly shrouding the area within a hundred miles of Su Yu.

Su Yu looked up at the sky.

"Alright, come on!"

Instantly, Su Yu released all his Qi, and the place where Su Yu stood shook violently. A powerful aura spread outwards from Su Yu as the center in an instant.

The originally clear sky above Su Yu instantly became covered with dark clouds, and bolts of lightning flickered within them.

Su Yu could feel that the power of this lightning was quite impressive.

But that was all. The Lightning Tribulation of the Soul Transformation Stage posed no threat to him whatsoever; to him, it was just a formality.

Soon, the Lightning Tribulation in the sky had finished brewing. Several lightning bolts struck toward Su Yu, and Su Yu took them head-on, feeling that they were still a bit painful.

Watching the Lightning Tribulation in the sky increase, with hundreds of bolts of lightning gradually condensing, he wondered if his Lightning Tribulation was a bit off.

Seeing this, Su Yu stopped playing around and instantly expanded his Sword Domain. The Lightning Tribulation seemed to know that Su Yu was ready, and immediately, hundreds of lightning bolts struck towards Su Yu violently.

Su Yu unleashed Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin, "Let's see if your Lightning Tribulation is more numerous, or if my swords are."

Ten thousand sword shadows condensed in the Void Realm, and every time a bolt of lightning descended, it was shattered by Su Yu's sword shadows.

Before long, the Lightning Tribulation dissipated. At this moment, Su Yu had completely entered the Soul Transformation Stage, and he could now clearly feel the blessing of the power of heaven and earth.

After coming here for so many years, he had finally reached the Soul Transformation Stage.

His strength had received another leap in improvement. Currently, the highest surface combat power in the Southern Region was only at the Soul Transformation Stage, but Su Yu felt that the Southern Region was not that simple.

Anyway, it was fine for him to just be a Passerby for now; his current strength was enough to go anywhere.

After passing the Lightning Tribulation, Su Yu returned to the Sect.

After recuperating for a few days, the day arrived for him to head to the Secret Realm with Ye Lin and the others.

Early that morning, Ye Lin and the others gathered at Su Yu's doorstep. This time, Wang Yuyan did not go; she had to stay home to take care of Han Ting.

After everyone arrived, Su Yu and the others transformed into a long rainbow and headed toward the Secret Realm.

The three of them chatted and laughed along the way, and after traveling for a while, they soon arrived at the location of the Secret Realm.

Ye Lin asked Su Yu and Han Shi to conceal their cultivation and appearance, as it would allow them to act more effectively. He always did this when exploring Secret Realms.

Su Yu smiled; this kid was to his liking.

Su Yu looked at the entrance of the Secret Realm where many people were gathered. He scanned the cultivation of the people present and found that most were at the Foundation Establishment Stage, with quite a few at the Golden Core Stage.

Some had already gone inside, and as for whether anyone at the Nascent Soul Stage had entered, they didn't ask.

This Secret Realm was known to others based on clues that it contained the Legacy of a powerhouse at the Soul Transformation Stage. However, after the Secret Realm opened several times, no one had been able to find where that Legacy was.

Some people even wondered if there was no Soul Transformation Legacy inside at all.

Soon, Su Yu and his companions stepped into the Secret Realm. As soon as Su Yu entered, he used his Divine Sense to perform a wide-range scan and discovered that there were actually two people at the Nascent Soul Stage inside.

But Su Yu did not take it to heart; as long as they did not interfere with them, he would not bother with them.

If these two at the Nascent Soul Stage wanted to look for trouble, he would not mind resolving them in secret.

As for whether they could find this Soul Transformation Legacy, he dared not say for others, but Su Yu felt that Ye Lin would definitely be able to find it.

After searching for a period of time, they had also harvested quite a few Cultivation resources.

Sure enough, following Ye Lin felt like the probability of finding treasures had increased significantly.

As for Han Shi, he was full of energy during the search. With these resources, they could use them for a long time.

"Brother Ye, you really brought us to a great place! There are so many Cultivation resources here."

"Even if we can't find that Legacy, these are enough for us to Cultivate for a long time."

"We came here for the Legacy; it would be even better if we could find it."

At this moment, a group of people, relying on their numerical advantage, watched Su Yu's group looting quite a few resources and seemed to be green with envy.

Walking up to Su Yu and the others, they said, "A Golden Core Stage cultivator bringing along two Foundation Establishment Stage newbies, yet you dare to come into this Secret Realm to scavenge for resources? Be sensible and hand over all the resources, and we will spare your lives."

Su Yu had noticed them approaching from the start. There were four people at the Golden Core Stage leading six at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the highest cultivation was just entering the Late Stage Golden Core. Su Yu had originally wanted to take action and resolve them.

On second thought, with Ye Lin's strength, resolving these people should be easy. Ye Lin's resounding reputation was not just for show.

Because their group had all concealed their appearances, if they knew Ye Lin was inside, they would not dare to come and act presumptuously.

Precisely because of this, Su Yu was curious to see what Ye Lin's act of 'acting cool and slapping faces' was like, which also happened to fit his identity as a Passerby being protected.

This made Su Yu increasingly suspect that Ye Lin was a Child of Destiny.

Han Shi looked at the people who had arrived and his expression became grave for a moment.

"Brother Ye, Brother Su, what should we do?"

"Don't be afraid. These people are no match for me. I don't plan on taking them seriously."

The leader of the other group looked at Ye Lin and said, "Kid, you have quite a big mouth. You don't understand the situation here. It seems you won't hand them over easily."

"It seems I have to teach you a lesson. Brothers, get them!"

Seeing this, Ye Lin signaled for Su Yu and Han Shi to step back.

Subsequently, Ye Lin drew his Azure Cloud Sword. Su Qinglin, who was inside the sword, saw this.

"A bunch of small fries also dare to act presumptuously here."

Instantly, Ye Lin unleashed a sword technique, and in a flash, only the leader was left on the scene, but it was clear that Ye Lin had deliberately not attacked him.

"What? Now let's see who has more people."

"Weren't you very full of yourself earlier?"

For a moment, the leader immediately gave up resistance.

"I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness. Big brothers, please have mercy. Can you let me go this once? I won't dare to do it next time."

"How come you know to beg for mercy now? Where did that attitude from just now go?"

"Han Shi, go, give him two slaps to the face to teach him a lesson."

Han Shi was instantly overjoyed. He walked up with an arrogant stride and gave the man two loud slaps.

"Take your people and get lost."

Han Shi returned and immediately smiled.

"I didn't expect that I, Han Shi, could also slap a Golden Core Stage person twice. That was truly exciting."

"The key is that he still doesn't know who actually hit him. With our appearances, no one can recognize us."

After the beaten group left, "Big brother, are we just going to let it go like this?"

"How is that possible? I cannot swallow this insult. It just so happens that my family's Old Ancestor is also inside. I will find him to help me vent this anger."

"You mean that Nascent Soul Stage Old Ancestor?"

"Yes, that's him. You guys just wait for me."
