Chapter 67

There is just one final step left. For the current Su Jiu, this is the last step in the entire ancient technique.

The sun in the sky had unknowingly hidden behind the clouds, and a large cloud layer had drifted over the Chen family village, covering the sun.

All these changes were so obvious.

Uncle San and Chen Ming also noticed this situation.

Su Jiu was the same.

Su Jiu was clear in his mind that there were no difficulties in the previous steps, but the hardest part was this final step.

Su Jiu took another deep breath. At this moment, Su Jiu, who was two meters off the ground, appeared particularly solemn and serious.

One step down, and the technique would be complete.

At this moment, Su Jiu seemed to feel a powerful force pressing down on his right foot, as if his right foot weighed a thousand pounds, making it extremely difficult to move. An invisible resistance was preventing everything.

Su Jiu knew that this was a manifestation of insufficient realm. He was only at the mid-stage of Qi Cultivation, but the minimum requirement to complete this technique was at least the late-stage of Qi Cultivation.

This was an unbridgeable gap, but now Su Jiu had to forcefully cross this gap.

At this moment, Su Jiu could only succeed, not fail.

This was not just about whether the curse on the Chen family village could be lifted.

It was not just about whether Su Jiu could complete this ancient technique.

Rather, Su Jiu had put everything on the line.

Having come this far, Su Jiu had no choice. If he took this step, his future path would be greatly beneficial, and his cultivation would proceed smoothly. However, if he did not take this step, he might suffer severe injuries and might never achieve anything significant.

This was not a choice Su Jiu forced upon himself, but a problem he discovered when he reached this final step.

Now, Su Jiu had no other choice, and this was somewhat helpless.

But he had no choice. Who would have known that the realm requirement for this ancient technique, recorded in his mind, was based on the standards of ancient times?

This was something Su Jiu had not anticipated.

And it was fundamentally impossible to predict.

In the eyes of Uncle San and Chen Ming, Su Jiu slowly lifted his right foot. At this moment, even Chen Ming could see that Su Jiu's right foot was under tremendous pressure, and the entire right foot was trembling slightly.

Su Jiu's foot-lifting speed was very slow.

After one minute, Su Jiu's right foot had only risen a few centimeters.

Two minutes, three minutes.

Su Jiu's face had already turned pale, and large sweat drops were rolling down his cheeks.

This was the final step, and Su Jiu's entire expression seemed to have used up all his strength. The difficulty of this final step was truly beyond his expectations.

Su Jiu had never thought that this step would be so difficult.

The mental power and qi within his body had already reached their limits, and his heart rate had long exceeded the normal human limit.

Su Jiu was now trembling all over.

Su Jiu, standing in the air, seemed to be on the verge of falling at any moment.

This time, even Uncle San and Chen Ming could see that something was wrong with Su Jiu. Master Su's right foot had lifted, but it had not come down.

Two meters was not very high, and Uncle San and Chen Ming could clearly see Su Jiu's expression at this moment.

Su Jiu's entire condition was like a state of exhaustion.

If they had not known that Su Jiu could not be disturbed at this moment, Uncle San and Chen Ming would have rushed over long ago.

"I can't give up like this. Once I give up, I can't bear the consequences!"

Su Jiu was already starting to feel anxious.

He had never expected such a situation to arise.

At this moment, Su Jiu's mind was rapidly thinking.

Recalling to see if there was any way to solve the current problem.

This was something Su Jiu had not anticipated. Just performing an ancient technique, but encountering such a situation, for Su Jiu, this could be considered the first crisis in his life.

Su Jiu immediately thought of the golden compass's records. When faced with such a situation, he would check if there was a solution there.

When Su Jiu struggled to probe his consciousness into the golden compass in his mind, a strange scene occurred within his body.

A mysterious force emanated from Su Jiu's mind, spreading throughout his body. This force continuously flowed into Su Jiu's body and finally gathered in his right foot.

Feeling the pressure gradually decrease, Su Jiu's chaotic mind finally slowly calmed down.

Although Su Jiu did not yet know why the golden compass in his mind was helping him, it did not hinder his current actions.

Feeling the energy in his right foot gradually increase and the pressure he was bearing gradually decrease, Su Jiu made a decision. A moment later, a flash of determination appeared in Su Jiu's eyes, and he suddenly stomped his right foot down on the air.

A loud "boom" echoed.

This time, the sound was even more intense, directly causing Uncle San and Chen Ming's ears to ring.

This was just the sound. What was even more shocking to Uncle San and Chen Ming was:

When Su Jiu's foot stomped down, a fierce wind swept through the entire courtyard, instantly creating a whirlwind. The wind howled, like the sound of an old windmill, blowing through the entire courtyard.

At this moment, amidst the wind, a roar could be heard.

With this step, Su Jiu, who was two meters off the ground, suddenly stood firmly on the ground.

This step down did not damage the cement-hardened courtyard floor.

However, Uncle San and Chen Ming could clearly feel the ground shaking.

It was a strange sensation.

It was as if the earth had come alive.

Su Jiu also felt this sensation.

A hint of joy appeared on Su Jiu's face. The earth's qi had been shaken by him.

This meant that the ancient technique was complete.

And the next step was...

At this moment, Su Jiu did not make any other movements, just raised his head to look at the sky.

At this moment, the sky over the Chen family village showed an even stranger phenomenon.

The sky was already covered in dark clouds, but within the dark clouds, sunlight was also shining through.

It was a scene like a sunshower, appearing exceptionally beautiful.

Watching the dark clouds gradually gather.

Even ordinary people could see that the Chen family village would soon be hit by a heavy rain.

The wind began to blow fiercely.

The weather seemed to change instantly.

Su Jiu looked at all this and smiled.

Yes, the ancient technique was basically complete. The next step was to wait.
