Chapter 56: Chapter 56 The Lone Tomb on Qingyun Mountain

Su Yang didn’t linger long at the Qingyun Clubhouse, as he didn’t fancy such scenes.

The reason he came was to accompany Zhao Qiupeng, and escalating the situation was meant to give face to his own friend.

As for himself, Su Yang didn’t care about such external possessions; what he cared more about was his own strength.

Zhao Qiupeng and Xie Wei were sent away by people from Ling Zi, while Su Yang left on his own. He didn’t go to the city but to Qingyun Mountain behind the clubhouse.

Qingyun Mountain is a rather famous mountain in Nanluo City. The mountain’s feng shui is very favorable, which is why the Qingyun Clubhouse was built on such an auspicious site. The back of Qingyun Mountain, on the other hand, is mostly cemeteries, where the wealthy of Nanluo City bury their ancestors.

The section on Taoism Cultivation in Destiny’s Tome records that a feng shui location can also provide spiritual energy to people.

Though Su Yang’s "Devouring the Heavens" was powerful, this was, after all, forcibly extracting external force, not cultivated bit by bit by oneself. To control such power, one must also elevate one’s own strength.

Therefore, Su Yang had now recommitted to a cultivation method. Based on Taoism and Buddhism, with the Demonic Sect as the main body. A solid foundation allows for steady progress!

Destiny’s Tome contained a skill for geomancy. Su Yang had learned the content of the first page, and his geomantic abilities now far exceeded those self-proclaimed masters. Standing atop Qingyun Mountain, he could roughly grasp the feng shui trend of the mountain.

With no one around, Su Yang displayed the Aerial Levitation Technique from Taoist cultivation, using the true qi within his body to slowly lift himself off the ground.

This was Su Yang’s first attempt at practicing the Aerial Levitation Technique. At first, he only managed to lift halfway before falling back down. But as he practiced more, he became increasingly proficient.

An hour later, Su Yang was able to move through the air, though the speed was not fast, and the power consumed was still considerable, posing quite a burden for him at present.

Su Yang recalled the Sword Riding Technique within the Taoist arts, an alternative form of the Aerial Levitation Technique. Using the same mode of air travel, it consumed much less power and could increase speed tremendously, being one of the more powerful techniques in Taoist cultivation.

However, to practice the Sword Riding Technique, one must at least be in the Integration Realm, the third level of Yellow Grade. Su Yang hadn’t stepped into the Integration Realm yet, and besides, he didn’t possess a suitable sword, so for now, that technique was merely a thought.

Using the Aerial Levitation Technique to ascend, Su Yang couldn’t fly very high just yet, barely five or six meters above the ground, but it was much faster than walking.

Soon, Su Yang arrived at a protruding stone platform on the back mountain. This was the place where the spiritual energy of this feng shui treasure converged.

Walking back and forth on the stone platform, Su Yang felt the location of the spiritual energy and sat down cross-legged to begin absorbing it using Daoist secret techniques.

The Daoist secret techniques were not as domineering as those of the Demonic Sect; they couldn’t simply devour this spiritual energy.

The Daoist secret techniques required using one’s own power to gradually guide the spiritual energy into the body. Thus, the pace of advancement in Taoist cultivation was far slower than in demonic cultivation.

However, demonic cultivation had its drawbacks, such as the risk of having an unstable foundation. This method allowed for rapid progression in the early stages but could lead to various complications later on.

Because of the unstable foundation, the pace of advancement for demonic cultivators slowed down in the latter stages.

Su Yang felt the flow of spiritual energy and slowly used his own power to guide it into his body.

From the outside, several white streams of energy, as thick as thumbs, were seen coiling around Su Yang, slowly entering his seven orifices.

Enveloped in white energy, Su Yang’s body appeared somewhat ethereal, almost as if surrounded by a celestially mist.

As the spiritual energy slowly entered his body, Su Yang felt the discomfort caused by "Devouring the Heavens" over the past few days gradually getting better.

The previously uncontrollable forces within him were now gradually being subdued.

Truly, the Daoist secret arts were extraordinary!

After cultivating for an hour like this, the white streams of energy became thinner, until they were almost invisible, as if about to break.

Su Yang opened his eyes and dispersed the white energy around him, slowly stretching his body.

By doing so, he had absorbed most of the spiritual energy from this feng shui treasure site.

Of course, this would not affect the feng shui of the treasure site, but it would take at least a year for the spiritual energy to recover.

Getting up and descending the mountain, Su Yang once again displayed the Aerial Levitation Technique, and this time, it was much smoother than before.

His strength had greatly increased, and he could now be considered to be at the mid-stage of Qi Refinement.

However, Su Yang’s mid-stage Qi Refinement was much stronger than the peak-stage of an ordinary person.

After all, he practiced the secret arts from Destiny’s Tome, incomparable to any ordinary secret techniques.

Figures like Master Wu were at the peak stage of Qi Refinement. However, when he encountered Su Yang, who was at the early stage of Qi Refinement, he was instantly killed with a single move.

In battles amongst equals, Su Yang’s strength could instantly kill anyone.

However, if he encountered someone in the Integration Realm, Su Yang’s power would have some difficulty coping.

Because the Integration Realm and the Qi Refining Realm are completely different states of being, with completely distinct attributes of strength.

Suddenly, Su Yang who was descending the mountain using the Aerial Levitation Technique, halted, his gaze falling upon a solitary grave midway up the slope.

This lone grave was in a rather remote spot, but Su Yang could tell that this location was a node in the geomantic network of this treasure land.

Such nodes were different from the usual geomantic treasure spots. This type of geomantic node was a circulation point for the flow of geomancy.

It seemed simple, but in fact, it was hardly less potent than the geomantic treasure spots. This geomantic node possessed all the fortunes of this geomantic land!

However, geomantic nodes were extremely difficult to find. Even those revered geomancers pursued by thousands couldn’t locate a geomantic node.

The geomancy Su Yang learned from the Destiny’s Tome allowed him to identify this geomantic node at a glance.

Gazing at the solitary grave for a while, Su Yang suddenly dove down and landed next to the grave.

"Fang Jingshan!" Su Yang read the name on the tombstone, circled the grave twice, and scoffed, "Just who did your descendants offend? They chose such an excellent location, but someone reversed the geomancy, turning good feng shui into bad. Not only is it unable to protect the descendants, but it also adds to their troubles."

"However, this method of reversing the geomancy is truly clumsy. It seems the person who reversed the geomancy was nothing but an outsider!"

Su Yang did not linger there, as he neither knew nor understood the descendants of this Fang Jingshan, so he did not intervene in the matter.

After coming down the mountain, Su Yang bypassed the Qingyun Clubhouse, slowly making his way towards the city center. On one hand, to conserve energy, and on the other, to appreciate the nearby scenery and see if he could find another place gathering spiritual energy.

About ten miles from the Qingyun Clubhouse at a corner, Su Yang saw five cars parked by the roadside from a distance.

There were quite a few people standing outside the vehicles, among them Su Yang recognized one, it was Ding Runze, angrily talking to someone close by.

"Damn it, I’ve been right here since I came out, and didn’t see that bastard appear. There’s only this road leading away from the Qingyun Clubhouse, where else could that bastard Su go?"

"Young Master, we really should have kept that car earlier. If we had captured his two friends, we wouldn’t have to worry about the kid not showing up!" a lackey whispered.

"Bullshit!" Ding Runze cursed, "Are you fucking brain-dead? This is the Qingyun Clubhouse, if we caught those two there, wouldn’t Ling Zi come directly out to fight us to the death?"

"What’s our goal? It’s that bastard surnamed Su. This Su guy’s got some skills, and he’s also got Ling Zi backing him up. If we’re going to take him down, we have to do it with one hit and can’t afford any slip-ups."

"So, before we catch this Su guy, we absolutely can’t mess around or spook anybody, got it?"

Su Yang couldn’t help but laugh from a distance, this Ding Runze really had some nerve, ambushing him here. It seemed the lesson he taught him earlier wasn’t enough!

"Ahem..." Su Yang coughed lightly, strode around the corner, and approached the group of people.

"Fuck, it’s him!" Ding Runze almost jumped, pointing at Su Yang and cursing, "That’s the bastard, damn, I thought you had run away, but you actually came right to us. Quick, block him!"

His minions immediately rushed over to encircle Su Yang. They were all armed, and it seemed they weren’t planning to let Su Yang leave in one piece today.

Supported by several others, Ding Runze approached, grinding his teeth, "Su Yang, I bet you didn’t expect to see us again so soon!"

"I didn’t expect..." Su Yang smiled faintly, "I didn’t expect you to be so bold, daring to provoke me again!"

"Fuck, what time do you think it is for you to still be so arrogant!" Ding Runze shouted, "Do you know who’s surrounding you? I’ll tell you, these guys, they’re all elite hands of the Cangbei Martial Arts."

"Do you think by defeating me you can really act so high and mighty? Let me tell you, this is Nanluo City, and in front of me, Ding Runze, you’re nothing!"

"Today, I’m going to show you the power of the Ding Family. Su, you were quite cocky inside, even daring to hit me? Humph, now I’ll let you know, this young master is someone you can never afford to mess with!"

Hands behind his back, Su Yang spoke softly, "Ding Runze, are you planning to talk me to death? If you’re done, let’s just get on with it. Don’t waste my time!"

Ding Runze was furious, pointing at Su Yang, "You little brat, I’ve never seen anyone in such a hurry to die. Fine, I’ll accommodate you, chop him up!"

The surrounding people looked ready to take action with a ferocious momentum, but at that moment, an icy voice suddenly came from afar, "Stop!"

Turning their heads, they saw a black Bentley parked not far away. Next to the car stood a slender, stunningly beautiful girl, looking indignantly at Ding Runze!
