Chapter 258: The Closed-Loop World That Ended Early

In mid-air.
Su Yang casually dealt with two Qi cultivation level eight enemies before starting to collect the spoils of war.
From Jiang Family Patriarch, he found a Qi cultivation level eight magical weapon. However, it had no effect on him because the magical weapons used by cultivators had no amplifying effect on his Sword Intent.
Apart from this item, there was also a Qi cultivation level eight elixir.
This elixir was quite special and could only be used by cultivators at the Qi cultivation level seven. It would then grant them the strength of Qi cultivation level eight. Normally, according to his causal inference, this elixir should be reserved for the Elder of the Iron Fist Sect.
For these outsiders, at this point in time, they couldn’t reach this level of strength, so they couldn’t use this elixir.
However, now it seemed that this restriction clearly could not constrain Su
Yang because his strength had already reached the Qi cultivation level seven.
Just by taking this elixir, his strength could reach the Qi cultivation level eight.
So Su Yang decisively swallowed the elixir.
In the next instant, his strength reached the Qi cultivation level eight.
He was getting closer and closer to the ceiling of this closed-loop world.
The closed-loop world created by the Heavenly Immortal-level evil god limits the strongest individuals to having only the strength of Qi cultivation level twelve, unable to surpass the Foundation Establishment stage.
Even the ultimate closer of the loop can possess, at most, the strength of Qi cultivation level twelve.
Now, Su Yang already has the strength of Qi cultivation level eight, which is merely four small realms away from Qi cultivation level twelve. Even if he doesn’t continue to advance, Su Yang’s current strength may be enough to break through the final barrier.
As his strength grows stronger, each of his moves becomes a full-force strike, and the combined power continues to increase.
For instance, when Su Yang mastered this ability at the Qi cultivation level one, he might at most kill someone at the Qi cultivation level three. However, with his current Qi cultivation level eight, killing someone at the Qi cultivation level twelve is also feasible.
Now, each of his moves is equivalent to a full-force strike at the Qi cultivation level eight. With a large number of such attacks, even someone at the Qi cultivation level twelve won’t be able to withstand.
Unless a cultivator at the Qi cultivation level twelve can quickly end the battle and instantly defeat Su Yang.
Otherwise, in the end, they can only be killed by Su Yang.
After emptying Jiang Family Patriarch’s possessions, Su Yang then turned his attention to the corpse of the Qi cultivation level eight tiger monster.
The heart blood and demon core on this tiger monster are valuable items.
With his current level of Sword Intent, he can already start refining pills in the void.
However, with only these two items, he cannot refine a pill that directly reaches Qi cultivation level nine. He needs to obtain another precious medicinal ingredient as the main ingredient.
These ingredients are also available in this closed-loop world, and after dealing with Jiang Family Patriarch, he once again sees two additional threads of causality in his eyes.
[Event Eight: Attack by Disciples of the Blazing Fire Sect]
Introduction: With the killing of Jiang Family Patriarch, the Blazing Fire Sect Master, who arranged this matter, has been informed. He is now dispatching core disciples of the sect to hunt down all remaining members of the Iron Fist Sect.
Danger Level: Qi Cultivation Level Ten
[Event Nine: Opportunity in the Nine Abyssal Pools]
Introduction: Within the Nine Abyssal Pools, there exists the Nine Abyssal Essence, capable of enhancing one’s cultivation. There is also a Qi cultivation level nine Nine Abyssal Herb, along with a Nine Abyssal Insect that can command myriad insects. However, a Qi cultivation level eight Nine Abyssal Serpent guards these treasures.
Danger Level: Qi Cultivation Level Eight
Two threads of causality—one representing crisis and the other representing opportunity.
After removing all materials from the serpent demon, Su Yang headed towards the location of the Nine Abyssal Pools.
Once he obtains the Qi cultivation level nine Nine Abyssal Herb and integrates it with the materials from the tiger monster, he can produce a pill that will unlock the strength of Qi cultivation level nine.
With Qi cultivation level nine strength, he can directly infiltrate the Blazing Fire Sect.
His current Qi cultivation level eight strength might be slightly precarious, but it will be different once he reaches Qi cultivation level nine.
With a single thought, Su Yang transformed into a stream of light, disappearing on the spot, flying towards the location of the Nine Abyssal Pools.
Mantis Blade Edge opened the current contribution ranking, and his expression gradually became numb. [Contribution Ranking]
1st: Su Yang, Contribution: 50%
2nd: Mantis Blade Edge, Contribution: 0%
Why was his contribution still zero?
Could it be that he didn’t contribute anything at all?
Mantis Blade Edge felt extremely unwilling, completely dissatisfied with this result!
Damn it…
Nine Abyssal Pools
After a period of flight, Su Yang had arrived here.
At this moment, the sky had completely darkened, indicating the onset of night. However, this wouldn’t have any impact on Su Yang.
Guided by the calculations of causality, Su Yang easily found the location of the Nine Abyssal Pools.
Without any hesitation, Su Yang plunged into the deep and mysterious Nine Abyssal Pools.
The moment he entered the Nine Abyssal Pools, Su Yang felt a chilling force enveloping him.
Even with the defense of his Sword Intent, he still sensed this chilling force.
The Nine Abyssal Pools were also a unique treasure land. Upon entering, Su
Yang immediately identified the first danger here—the Nine Abyssal Serpent.
With a cultivation level of Qi Cultivation Eight, battling in the water, ordinary practitioners of the same level could only watch helplessly.
Fighting against a monster at the same level was already challenging for cultivators, and doing so in an unfavorable terrain would make it even more difficult. Even if a Qi Cultivation Nine master came, defeating the Nine Abyssal Serpent underwater was uncertain.
However, for Su Yang, it was a different story.
This time, he transformed the Starfire Sword River into the Thunderous Sword River.
In the water, the power of thunder and lightning could be considered an advantageous force..
