Chapter 1435: Flames of Faith

Su Yi opened the space bag and found, besides a considerable amount of Yuan Stones, many yellow-grade elixirs, and even a few xuan-grade elixirs.

Additionally, there were four Starshine Tokens, three of which belonged to Luan Shuo and one belonged to Nangong Hange. In addition to those, there were four from the Xuanying Sect, making a total of nine Starshine Tokens in Su Yi’s hand.

However, the stellar power inside had long dissipated along with Nangong Hange, turning from its original purple-gold state to a dull black, appearing quite ordinary.

"With so many Starshine Tokens, it should be enough, even though I don’t quite understand Nangong Hange’s intentions. It’s better to be safe!" Su Yi thought to himself.

Tang Wang on the side gazed at the vast sea of clouds, their eyes unfocused, as the blood mist and surging clouds merged into one.

"Did Nine Star Valley also become corrupted like the Sea of Clouds in the end? Or was it always dirty from the beginning?"

Nangong Hange’s words completely shattered Tang Wang’s impression of Nine Star Valley, and Su Yi knew it.

Tang Wang grew up under the guidance and gifts of Nine Star Valley. Everything was given by Nine Star Valley. It’s like one day someone tells you that your respected master or father is actually the biggest villain in the world. No one can bear such a truth.

This truth is cruel and merciless, like knives stabbing at Tang Wang’s heart.

Su Yi knew that what Nangong Hange said was not a lie. At least in Chen Yao’s hands, Nine Star Valley was no longer what it used to be. Sighing inwardly, Su Yi looked at the aged Elder Tang Wang with a tinge of sadness.

"Elder Tang, some things are not to be judged by appearances. Perhaps Nine Star Valley is not as you see it!" Su Yi approached and said softly.

Tang Wang’s clothes fluttered, his temples graced with silver strands, he gazed into the distance with a dazed look. Without realizing it, he seemed to have aged ten years in that moment.

"Occupying other people’s territories, despicable individuals… Could it be that the rumors are true?" Tang Wang murmured to himself. He had heard some rumors about Nine Star Valley before, but he always dismissed them with a smile. He firmly believed that the Nine Star Valley he loved wouldn’t be so disgraceful.

Su Yi naturally knew about the grudge between Nine Star Valley and the Nine Spirit Heavenly Cat. Sealed Thunder Valley was actually the result of a standoff between Nine Star Valley and the Nine Spirit Heavenly Cat clan. But how could Su Yi explain all this to Tang Wang?

The faith for a whole lifetime, like a burning flame all life long, someone finally told me, it was me who spread the fire to the world.

Both success and failure are like this.

The collapse of faith, I’m afraid it will be more serious than the collapse of the body. Su Yi knew very well that Elder Tang Wang, who was proud of Nine Star Valley, would definitely not agree.

Su Yi and Situ Muyang exchanged glances. Su Yi hoped Situ Muyang could comfort him, while Situ Muyang was unaware of the situation and hoped Su Yi would step forward. Just when both were entangled in each other.

Tang Wang took a deep breath, looked at the rolling white waves on the horizon, and said to Su Yi.

"Sect Leader Su, please promise me one thing!"

After speaking, Tang Wang’s voice choked a bit, his hands, which had lost their vitality, held Su Yi’s arm tightly like old branches, and he pleaded, "Please."

Su Yi felt a little anxious. After all, Tang Wang was his elder. This might be the first time Tang Wang asked for someone’s help. Su Yi couldn’t help but recall the unrestrained and unruly behavior between Tang Wang and Xie Wuxu when they were playfully arguing for the first time.

It’s imaginable how significant Nine Star Valley is in his heart.

"Elder Tang, please speak. I can’t handle it anymore!" Su Yi said hesitantly.

In Elder Tang’s slightly yellowed eyes, tears flowed down in shiny streams. His eyes were filled with unwillingness and humiliation, as if the treasure he had guarded his whole life had been insulted by being called a fake.

Su Yi gently helped Tang Wang up. Tang Wang was weak at this point. He said to Su Yi, "Sect Leader Su, if you can see the ancestor, please ask him to prove to us that our Nine Star Valley is not that kind of dirty sect!"

"Okay!"

Su Yi said firmly to Tang Wang. Regardless of the truth, Su Yi hoped that Elder Nine-star would give Tang Wang a perfect explanation in person. He didn’t want the hope he had guarded his whole life to be extinguished just because of the words of a random thief.

After saying that, Tang Wang choked a bit, his face trembling slightly, facing the distant misty waves alone.

No longer burdened with words in their hearts, looking from afar, the old figure was like a candle still burning fiercely, struggling against the gentle breeze.

Shi Susu and Situ Muyang immediately felt a slight sense of suffocation and depression in their hearts, but Su Yi smiled brightly at everyone.

"What’s wrong? Such a good place for cultivation, and you’re making bitter faces? This place is beneficial to you, so you should cherish your cultivation. I’ll go and explore that floating island."

After listening to Su Yi’s words, Shi Susu and Situ Muyang gradually showed a bright smile.

Su Yi is right, it would be a waste not to cultivate in such a beautiful place. There are only two days left until the Nine Stars Valley opens, it’s time to work hard in cultivation.

When Shi Susu looked at Su Yi again, her eyes were filled with admiration. The abilities Su Yi had shown earlier made Shi Susu completely trust him and she secretly hoped that he would succeed in obtaining opportunities and come back.

Su Yi and the two nodded in agreement. They looked at the nine floating islands behind them, resembling heavenly palaces. Gripping a bag of Starshine Tokens tightly in their hands, they felt a strong desire to conquer.

"Chen Yao! So you allow me to pick, huh? Sorry, get ready to go bankrupt!" Su Yi’s mouth curved into a mysterious smile.

"The first three Beastspirit Islands, the middle three Landspirit Islands, the last three Peoplespirit Islands."

Su Yi pondered over what Nangong Hange had just said. It seems that the first three islands are guarded by powerful beasts, which is good news.

"The Green Emperor, Ying Ming, Yang Ming, follow me to the island!"

Su Yi shouted loudly, his deep voice resembling thunder that shook the heavens. His long robe behind him swayed, exuding a heroic and mighty aura that impressed the sky.

"Yes!" they shouted together, like a thunderous roar echoing through the mountains and the sea, mixed with faint animal roars and the remnants of a golden dragon’s power, resonating throughout the world.

The four figures soared through the clouds, using the skywalk as they turned into streaks of light. In less than half the time it takes to have a meal, they arrived at the first island.

The island was filled with strange and beautiful flowers and plants, standing high above the sea of clouds. The sky and the sea were connected, with waves splashing. Upon reaching the island, they could only distinguish that they were still on land and not in the sea of clouds by the lush and tender tree branches.

Su Yi immediately felt a sense of relaxation and peace, as the continuous range of mountains stretched far into the distance, blending with the vast clear sky and cloud-covered hills.

Truly a unique little world, everything was so real. Su Yi marveled in his heart. The primordial spiritual energy of heaven and earth constantly surrounded him, and the Supreme Chaotic Yuan Technique absorbed the energy like a sponge.
