Returning to the Capital City, mourning attire was everywhere.

The death of Zhao Xuanzhen undoubtedly had a tremendous impact on Xia Country and the entire world.

The residual forces of the Demonic Path had not completely dissipated. Even though they had lost their leadership, the remaining stubborn elements still existed.

In Qilong Court, Su Chengyu, who had completely recorded the methods of combating the Demonic Path, handed it to Xu Nanzhi, asking him to deliver it to Ye Qingci.

With this method, the special techniques of the Demonic Path were no longer a threat. These scattered elements of the Demonic Path naturally did not require much more effort to handle.

"Master, news has come from the Qingcheng Sect. The Qingcheng Sect Leader, Chen Mengmeng, has already begun her tribulation."

Su Chengyu nodded in satisfaction. That he was the fourth among the Heart's Seven, apart from himself, Long Xuan, and Ye Qingci, to reach the Earth Immortal stage did not surprise Su Chengyu.

After all, the only person who could have possibly surpassed him, Yang Junmo, had returned to a state of negligence after the battle of Langma Peak.

Due to his meritorious service in the battle of Langma Peak, Yang Junmo had long been absolved of the culpability caused by Yang Chengyin's treason. Now, he still mingled in the Capital City, living days almost identical to when Su Chengyu first met him.

Even now, Su Chengyu admired Yang Junmo's ability to let go so readily from the bottom of his heart, despite his own understanding of the Path of Transcendence.

"Master, I have already set up the Cave Heaven in various places around the world. This will connect this world with the one you previously explored, bringing in abundant Spiritual Energy from there. By then, the effects of the End of Dharma will dissipate. Yet, Master, this is only a temporary solution."

"I know. As long as the chessboard remains, the moves will not end. Moreover, you are no longer the bringer of the Great Catastrophe of Heaven and Earth. You are merely by my side and need not worry about these things."

Su Chengyu smiled and patted Yu Yanshu's head. He would delegate tasks to others, realizing that as one person, he could not handle everything, but he decided to resolve these ponderous issues himself.

After addressing numerous matters, just as he wanted to get up and relax for a bit, a presence suddenly caught Su Chengyu's attention. He turned his head and smiled, saying, "What's the matter? Long Xuan, did you come to fulfill that agreement?"

"Fool, I want to ask the sword and refine the ways of the Hundred Schools, not seeking to get trashed."

Su Chengyu smiled without giving a definite answer.

Having achieved the unity of the Seven Ways, Su Chengyu was indeed no longer the same as before.

As the Nuwa Immortal Emperor had said, this was a taboo and anomaly. Su Chengyu himself didn't know what realm he was in now. Perhaps only when the Heaven's Gate opened again, and he genuinely led people through it, would he know.

"The item you asked me to find in Southern Xinjiang has been located; the address is here. The prohibition inside is very complex, and I'm worried about damaging what's inside. So, I haven't forcibly opened it."

"A wise decision. I will personally make a trip there in a few days."

Fu Xi's remains, if the Nuwa Immortal Emperor is regarded as the mother of humanity, then Fu Xi would be considered its father.

For Su Chengyu, he was even more of a trailblazer on the path of integrating the Seven Ways. Such a unique existence, Su Chengyu naturally had a purpose to visit specifically.

In the palace.

"Master! How many times do I have to tell you? I don't want to be the Empress!"

Lin An spoke with irritation, not understanding why Ji Yuguang insisted that she must become the Empress.

"Lin An, you must understand this is not child's play. Only by becoming the Empress can Xia Country be kept safe."

Lin An said helplessly, "Haven't I already told you? Even if I'm not, Chengyu will still watch over Xia Country. And if you want more from me as your disciple, becoming an Empress is utterly meaningless. As for the Heaven's Gate, he will definitely open it."

"Why is he so stubborn about it?"

Ji Yuguang frowned, feeling a headache for the first time, something he hadn't even felt in the face of Zhao Xuanzhen.

Suddenly, Ji Yuguang thought of something and looked at Lin An, saying, "I've heard that Su Chengyu has several female companions."

"I've already said I don't mind, so please, Master, leave this matter alone, okay?"

"No, what I mean is this: do you think there's a chance for me to win him over?"

"Cough, cough! That, Senior Ji..."

Su Chengyu's voice suddenly sounded. Initially planning to hide until Ji Yuguang left before showing himself, Su Chengyu couldn't help but reveal himself upon hearing this.

Ji Yuguang's face quietly flushed with a touch of red, then he turned around and said, "That was just a joke. Please don't take it seriously, Master Su."

"Of course, I understand, but Senior Ji, there is something I must tell you. My opening of the gate is not for selfish reasons but is necessary."

As long as the Human Clan exists, the Supreme Immortal Emperor will not spare them. Before their next move, Su Chengyu must prepare enough countermeasures. Yet, given his current power, acting alone is clearly insufficient.

"I understand, but I still do not agree with such risky actions."

"But..."

Su Chengyu was about to explain something further.

Suddenly, at this moment, the heavens and earth underwent a dramatic upheaval. Ji Yuguang and Su Chengyu simultaneously looked up at the sky.

They saw a huge sword in the sky, piercing through the red sun.

Below the false red sun, a huge chain was cut in half.

Ji Yuguang and Su Chengyu watched this scene, both frozen in place.

Ji Yuguang looked to his side, ensuring this Su Chengyu wasn't an illusion or a false image, then said, "The Heaven's Gate just opened like that?"

Su Chengyu, even more shocked, said, "Grandfather?"

On Kunwu Mountain.

Two elders sat opposite and drank.

The white-bearded elder stroked his long beard, looking at the masterpiece just inches away, and smiled, saying, "Not bad. As expected of someone who has ascended to the Immortal World, opening the heavens with you was much smoother than closing them last time."

The other elder shook his head helplessly, saying, "Brother Lin Yuan, you're joking. Even without me, opening the Heaven's Gate, which you personally closed, would not be a difficult task, right?"

"Of course, it wouldn't be difficult. But how would the people see it? How would it rekindle hope in cultivators across the world?"

Qingxu Zi, or Kunwu, was momentarily stunned, then smiled bitterly while shaking his head, saying, "When it comes to the wellbeing of all beings, I am far lacking compared to you."

"Daoist Qingxu, you flatter me."

"By the way, Brother Lin Yuan, since your power remains unaffected, why not meet Su Chengyu directly?"

Su Linyuan smiled and shook his head, "Because I know I can only save this world for a time, but only he can save it for a generation. Now that he's finally on a path almost unprecedented, I no longer need to hide."

Qingxu Zi sighed deeply, saying, "Then the next part is these youngsters' story of going to the Immortal World, isn't it?"

"Yes, it will surely be a long and even more exciting story."
