Chapter 5

Since being discovered to have twenty-six divine acupoints, Su Ye had always been surrounded by the praise of his elders and the envy of his peers, especially when he continuously opened the dead acupoints and approached the thirty-six divine acupoints, the Su family's expectations for him reached an unprecedented level.

However, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

Su Ye, who had always been hailed as a super genius, failed to break through to the Life Seizing Realm when he had thirty-six divine acupoints, shattering the hopes of many of the Su family's elders. Especially when Su Ye opened more dead acupoints but still failed to break through to the Life Seizing Realm, countless people lost faith in him.

Even Su Ye himself felt the same.

The sudden fall from the peak to the bottom, and the inability to see any hope of climbing back up, made Su Ye feel dejected, lost, and disheartened, even to the point of wanting to give up cultivation. In the end, it was his father, Su Lie's constant encouragement that helped Su Ye regain his spirit and continue on the path of cultivation.

However, for the young Su Ye, this path was truly too difficult!

Su Lie, unable to bear seeing his son's hardship, left Gumu City when Su Ye was ten, saying he would go to find better entry-level cultivation techniques for him, but he never returned and was never heard from again.

After that, Su Ye repeatedly opened the dead acupoints, repeatedly attempted to break through to the Life Seizing Realm, and repeatedly failed, but he never thought of giving up. Finding his father was his only belief. However, Su Ye also knew that after over a thousand attempts to break through to the Life Seizing Realm, his internal organs were riddled with hidden dangers, and he might die early like his mother, who never entered the Life Seizing Realm. As for finding his father, the hope was even more remote.

But now, the appearance of the "Great Yin-Yang Canon" finally gave Su Ye a glimmer of hope.

Since his father left, Su Ye had become increasingly strong, especially after each failure, which tempered his will to be as firm as iron. In nearly eight years, Su Ye had never been as excited as he was today, and he hadn't shed a single tear, let alone have a face full of tears.

After a long time, Su Ye calmed down, wiped away his tears, and sat down again, running the "Great Yin-Yang Canon" to try to open several more dead acupoints in one go.

However, as soon as Su Ye's ten fingers moved, a strong sense of fatigue surged from deep within his heart, making his head spin and almost causing him to fall to the ground. This sudden change startled Su Ye, and he quickly stopped the hand seals, feeling more comfortable.

"Phew!"

Su Ye exhaled a long breath. After a brief moment of thought, he understood that the "Great Yin-Yang Canon" was indeed a super powerful spiritual technique. Using it to open the dead acupoints was fast, but it also consumed a lot of mental energy. Given his current condition, he could not sustain it for too long.

Realizing this, Su Ye couldn't help but shake his head. He had been too eager, thinking he could achieve everything at once. Although he couldn't continuously open the dead acupoints, he could use the "Great Yin-Yang Canon" to regulate his body. Su Ye had already noticed that his injured internal organs were showing signs of improvement.

If he continued to cultivate, it might not be long before his internal injuries were completely healed.

A smile appeared on Su Ye's face. He subconsciously turned his eyes and was startled to see that it was already morning outside the window. He had spent an entire day and night in the Immortal Ascension Pavilion.

"I need to get out quickly; soon, other clan members will come here to cultivate."

Su Ye's gaze turned to the opposite side, where Su Muzhe stood. He felt both gratitude and sadness in his heart. Suddenly, he bowed down and knocked his head three times on the ground, "Descendant Su Ye thanks the ancestor. As long as I live, I will revitalize the Su family and not let the ancestor down."

Then, Su Ye stood up and went downstairs.

"Creak!"

The door of the Immortal Ascension Pavilion on the ground floor opened again. Su Ye's mood was completely different, but when he stepped out, he couldn't help but be stunned. About a few meters from the door, three elders stood on the stone steps. One had white eyebrows and hair, wearing a white robe, looking somewhat like a transcendent being. Another was short and thin, with an unremarkable appearance. The third was tall and robust, with a full beard and a fierce look.

Although the three elders had different appearances, their faces all showed a hint of excitement. As soon as they saw Su Ye come out, they almost simultaneously walked forward. The robust elder, unable to contain his eagerness, said, "Ye, did you gain anything from observing the ancestor's statue this time?"

Among the three, the white-robed elder was the Great Elder Su Haixing, the short and thin elder was the Second Elder Su Ziyi, and the robust elder was Su Ye's grandfather, Su Zhen.

"Grandfather, Great Elder, Second Elder, you all know?"

Su Ye's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly calmed down. It was probably the commotion caused by his cultivation of the "Great Yin-Yang Canon" that drew their attention. After all, the spiritual energy in the Immortal Ascension Pavilion gathered so quickly at that time, and the three were all experts in the Transcendent Realm, with the Great Elder even reaching the late Transcendent Realm.

"Indeed."

Su Haixing, Su Ziyi, and Su Zhen exchanged glances and almost spoke at the same time. Su Zhen was even more excited, "Ye, tell us in detail."

"Grandfather, Great Elder, Second Elder, I had a dream when I observed the ancestor's statue yesterday. In the dream, the ancestor taught me a fifth-grade entry-level spiritual technique." Su Ye said somewhat guiltily. Both his grandfather and the two elders treated him very well, and he wanted to tell them the truth, but his reason told him that he must not reveal anything about what happened yesterday, as it would be detrimental to the Su family.

"Fifth-grade entry-level spiritual technique?"

Su Haixing and Su Ziyi's eyebrows twitched, showing surprise. For entry-level spiritual techniques, reaching the sixth grade was already extremely rare. The Su family had paid a huge price to obtain the "Spring Rain Technique." As for a fifth-grade entry-level spiritual technique, it was even rarer.

Su Zhen's eyes widened, and his breathing became slightly rapid, "Ye, how effective is it?"

Su Ye's face was filled with a joyful smile, "After obtaining the spiritual technique, I tried to cultivate it. It is much stronger than the 'Spring Rain Technique.' If I cultivate this fifth-grade spiritual technique for a long time, my chances of breaking through to the Life Seizing Realm might increase significantly." Although he couldn't reveal the "Xuan Ji Divine Seal" and the "Great Yin-Yang Canon," he could use the story of the ancestor's dream to dispel their doubts and lay the groundwork for the future.

"Good! Good! Good!" Su Zhen rubbed his hands vigorously, saying the word "good" three times.

"The ancestor has shown himself, the ancestor has shown himself..."

Su Haixing and Su Ziyi also sighed repeatedly, looking at Su Ye with a glimmer of hope in their eyes. They did not doubt his story about the ancestor's dream, as over the years, many Su family members had gained something from the third floor of the Immortal Ascension Pavilion. However, they did not know that such things would never happen again, as the ancestor Su Muzhe had truly passed away.

After a moment, Su Haixing smiled and said, "Su Ye, what are the incantations of that fifth-grade spiritual technique? If someone in our Su family has the same situation as you in the future, they can also cultivate it."

Su Ye said sheepishly, "Great Elder, I'm really sorry, but the ancestor repeatedly told me in the dream not to reveal it, so I..."

"No problem, no problem."

Although Su Haixing felt a bit regretful, he did not take it too seriously. He stroked his white beard and said with a smile, "Since it is the ancestor's instruction, there must be a reason. We must follow it. Su Ye, cultivate the technique the ancestor taught you well and strive to successfully break through to the Life Seizing Realm one day."

"Yes, I will definitely work hard. Grandfather, Great Elder, Second Elder, I'm going to the Luoyan Valley to cultivate now." Su Ye nodded solemnly and quickly left, afraid that he might inadvertently reveal any flaws to the three elders.

"Over the past ten years, this child has truly suffered." Su Zhen sighed.

"You're right. Su Ye hasn't been able to break through to the Life Seizing Realm for so long, not because he isn't a genius, but because our Su family doesn't have an entry-level spiritual technique suitable for him. I hope the fifth-grade spiritual technique the ancestor showed in the dream can help him take that step."
