"Outrageous!"
The elder of the Liu family trembled in his heart, afraid that Su Zhan would hear these words and become angry. Without caring about anything else, he rushed to the Connecting Heaven Dao Ground, activating his true qi power and grabbing the graceful Liu Yu from the center of the Connecting Heaven Dao Ground, throwing him to the ground.
"You, Grand Elder!"
Liu Yu felt greatly humiliated and glared at him in anger.
"You leave first, and I will compensate you and explain later."
The elder of the Liu family said to Liu Yu, then turned to Su Zhan and said, "Young Master Su, this is our Liu family's Connecting Heaven Dao Ground. It has sixteen special foundation stone plates. The more plates are activated, the more spiritual energy of heaven and earth it can draw in. The number of plates activated varies depending on the cultivator's talent and cultivation level. It is also to prevent some impatient disciples of the Liu family from being overwhelmed by excessive spiritual energy and suffering physical damage."
Su Zhan looked at the Connecting Heaven Dao Ground.
This Dao Ground resembled a large diagram of sixteen hexagrams, with sixteen positions and sixteen foundation stone plates.
Outside the sixteen plates, there was a circle of medicinal fields.
Various rare spiritual herbs were cultivated there. By using the power of the formation, some of the medicinal power from those spiritual herbs could be extracted and integrated into the cultivator's body without causing the herbs to wither immediately. In this way, the maintenance cost of the Connecting Heaven Dao Ground was greatly reduced.
"Alright, I understand."
Su Zhan nodded and walked towards the Connecting Heaven Dao Ground.
"Wait!"
At that moment, Liu Yu, who was directly humiliated by Su Zhan, couldn't bear it any longer and said to him, "Who are you? How dare you enter our Liu family's Connecting Heaven Dao Ground to cultivate?"
"Silence!"
The elder of the Liu family scolded angrily. Seeing more and more Liu family disciples looking their way, he decided to reveal the truth. "From now on, none of you are allowed to come to the Connecting Heaven Dao Ground because I have given it to Young Master Su!"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused an uproar among the Liu family disciples.
"What! The Connecting Heaven Dao Ground has been given to someone else?"
"How is this possible! The Connecting Heaven Dao Ground is the foundation of our Liu family. How can something like this be given to someone else?"
"Has the Grand Elder gone mad?!"
...
Sounds of disbelief filled the air.
Even the elders at the peak of Zimu Peak came one by one to inquire.
"Grand Elder, what happened? How could the Connecting Heaven Dao Ground be given to this Young Master Su?"
"The Connecting Heaven Dao Ground is not your personal property, Grand Elder. What gives you the right to make such a decision?!"
"What about the patriarch? Did the patriarch agree as well?"
Just as the elder of the Liu family was about to respond, Liu Yu, who was extremely angry, said, "Grand Elder, you have truly betrayed the Liu family! Just wait, when I see the patriarch, I will tell him the truth about your words and actions! Then, let's see how the patriarch deals with you!"
"The patriarch... Liu Badao is already dead!"
Upon hearing the accusations from those people, the elder of the Liu family angrily said, "Liu Badao conspired with the Sword Pill Sect from the world outside the Tiannan Region, wanting to enslave the entire Tiannan Cultivation World. Young Master Su killed him, eliminating a great disaster for our Tiannan Cultivation World! This Connecting Heaven Dao Ground is a token of gratitude to Young Master Su!"
After hearing the words of the elder of the Liu family, the cultivators of the Liu family were stunned.
Tiannan's number one powerhouse, their patriarch Liu Badao, was already dead?
And was he killed by a teenager who appeared to be only sixteen or seventeen years old?
What was even more absurd was that they were supposed to be grateful to the killer???
Many people felt angry, but soon, their anger turned into fear.
Even if the patriarch could be killed, then who were they?
Of course, there were also some people who, even after hearing the grand elder's words, still didn't believe it and went to ask other elders who had come down from the Black Flame Eagle.
After receiving the same answer, those people looked at Su Zhan standing at the edge of the Connecting Heaven Dao Ground with great astonishment.
"The patriarch has reached the second transformation of the God Transformation Realm, how could he... how could he kill the patriarch?"
"So young, Young Master Su... could he be the recently famous Su Zhan among the geniuses of the fifteen countries in Tiannan?"
"Su Zhan? It is said that Su Zhan recently defeated a God Transformation Realm cultivator from the Qingyang Kingdom. Now it seems that it wasn't just a rumor!"
"No wonder, no wonder the Grand Elder made the decision to give the Connecting Heaven Dao Ground to Su Zhan! It turns out he also beat the patriarch to death!"
...
At that moment, Liu Yu felt like being struck by lightning.
In a daze, he took a few steps back and fell to the ground, muttering to himself, "This is impossible, impossible. The patriarch is..."
"I witnessed it with my own eyes. Is it fake?" The Grand Elder of Liu family said coldly.
"Now you understand why I told you to be silent, right? Fortunately, Young Master Su is generous. Otherwise, would you still be alive and able to speak to me right now?"
"I..."
Liu Yu's pupils contracted, his body trembling, and he felt intense fear.
The patriarch was already incredibly powerful, so how strong was Su Zhan, the one who killed the patriarch?
And he actually tried to stop someone so powerful?
If the Grand Elder didn't intervene in time and he uttered more unbearable words, provoking Su Zhan's anger, the consequences...
With these thoughts, Liu Yu's voice trembled, "Thank you, Grand Elder, for saving my life!"
"You should thank Young Master Su and apologize to him."
"Yes, yes, I will go now..."
"Young Master Su is currently preparing to break through to the God Transformation Realm. Do you want to disturb him now? Are you seeking death?"
The grand elder scolded, "Stay here. After Young Master Su's breakthrough, apologize to him properly!"
"Definitely, definitely!"
Liu Yu's face turned pale as he nodded repeatedly.
Subsequently, other disciples of the Liu family were expelled from the mountain.
Su Zhan sat cross-legged in the middle of the Connecting Heaven Dao Ground, calming his mind and waiting for ten minutes to pass. Feeling that his condition was perfect, he began activating his cultivation technique and broke through to the God Transformation Realm!
One after another, the foundation stone plates lit up on the Connecting Heaven Dao Ground!
Everyone watched attentively, especially Liu Yu, who had been expelled from the Connecting Heaven Dao Ground earlier. Although he knew that Su Zhan was extremely powerful, he still wanted to see how he compared to himself.
When he broke through to the Yuan Dan Realm, he had activated ten foundation stone plates. Perhaps Su Zhan could activate thirteen or fourteen?
As this thought arose in Liu Yu's mind, it disappeared.
"Su Zhan, no, Senior Su has actually activated all sixteen foundation stone plates!"
"Why are you surprised? Even if there were a few more plates, with Young Master Su's unparalleled talent, he would activate them all!"
The Grand Elder of the Liu family said indifferently.
With his cultivation only at the Core Yuan Realm, he could kill an expert in the God Transformation Realm. If even such terrifying talent couldn't activate all the stone plates, then who else in this world could?
As they had this conversation, the Connecting Heaven Dao Ground suddenly glowed brightly. The underground spiritual blood vessels of Zimu Peak, the medicinal power from the surrounding spiritual herbs, and the starlight and great sun energy in the sky all converged towards Su Zhan!
After that, spiritual energy from a radius of a hundred miles gathered towards Su Zhan like rivers flowing into the sea!
A large whirlpool of spiritual energy formed around him!
"Is this Su Zhan's talent? Truly terrifying!"
"Breaking through to the God Transformation Realm, drawing in spiritual energy from a hundred-mile radius! Moreover, he's also absorbing the power of the medicinal herbs, underground spiritual blood vessels, and celestial objects in such a tremendous amount! Isn't he afraid of being overwhelmed and exploding?"
"Young Master Su is an unrivaled genius. How can ordinary people like us understand him?"
The elders of the Liu family were astonished at this sight and felt a glimmer of anticipation.
If Su Zhan truly couldn't handle such a massive flow of energy and failed to break through, or even suffered serious injuries or death, it would certainly benefit the Liu family.
Of course, for the time being, Su Zhan encountered no problems, so they could only ponder it.
Meanwhile, sitting in the middle of the Connecting Heaven Dao Ground, carrying an immensely powerful energy in the eyes of the Liu family elders, Su Zhan slightly furrowed his brows.
I thought with the help of the Connecting Heaven Dao Ground and activating the cultivation halo, I would face a significant impact.
But is it just limited to this?
Feeling that his body wasn't bearing any burden at all, with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth directly merging into his body through the circulation of his dragon blood vessels, Su Zhan no longer hesitated.
In the next moment.
The Sun God and Starlight Divine Body was activated!
