Shining clouds were appearing in the sky. "Grand cycle stars. The Human Emperor sends his blessings." Su Yu opened his eyes and stared at the sky speechlessly. Was this something set up by a lazy subordinate of the Human Emperor? Previously, he had received a similar message after opening all his acupoints. Why was there only a small change in the message? It felt as though there was a template for all these messages. Nearby, both He Tu and Xing Yue were blanking out as they stared at the sky. He Tu muttered, "Can the heavenly blessings really reach the Death Realm as well?" He had never seen this before. However, Su Yu was already used to this. Since the blessings this time were related to his apertures, the rewards would either be willpower, characters, or power of laws. Generally, he could only harvest some power of laws when a tribulation and a reward appeared at the same time. Most of the time, it wouldn't be easy to get some. The clouds started dropping upon Su Yu. All 360 of his apertures shone brightly. Unfortunately, they differed in size. However, that problem did not remain for long. When the first cloud dropped on Su Yu, he blanked out. The power in the cloud felt similar to the sunmoon profound yellow liquid. Or to be precise, it was slightly better. Su Yu's eyes flickered. Two possibilities had just opened up before him. Firstly, he could strengthen his characters. Secondly, he could strengthen his apertures and become a Mountainsea. An advancement would strengthen his characters automatically. But if he wasn't able to fully advance, it would be much harder to further strengthen his characters. After a slight hesitation, he decided to strengthen his apertures. He could strengthen his apertures and let them fuse automatically to reach the ninth-stage Mountainsea. That would strengthen his characters automatically. This was perhaps the better option for him. Inside his head, the little furball looked eager to grab a feast. Su Yu hurriedly said, "You can't eat this time. I don't even have enough for myself. You can eat next time. Remember, I promised you Tiangu." "You're a liar! You can't kill Tiangu!" The little furball protested pitifully. He knew that this was a lie. This was but a dream. Yummy was very strong, but not enough to kill Tiangu. He might need to wait a long time before Yummy was strong enough to kill Tiangu. The little furball was sad. His savings had been emptied. Could he not eat a little bit here? "Don't worry. I can't kill Tiangu yet, but I can kill some other immortals. They are all yummy. What's the rush?" Su Yu continued placating the little furball. He needed to advance smoothly without any disturbance. Upon advancement, he might even receive more rewards. He had concluded that these days, the heavenly laws were the best to milk. He started strengthening his apertures. All 360 apertures started spinning by themselves. These movements were different from the movement of a proper cultivation method. Clearly, a proper cultivation method was required to properly utilize hem. Su Yu was in no rush. For now, he could focus only on advancement. One aperture after another started consuming the power in the clouds. After a while, Xing Yue vanished with a flicker. Before long, a rumble rang out not far away. A random death spirit had wandered over. Perhaps this was one of the normal wandering death spirits who had arrived by coincidence. He Tu smiled and said, "This talent..." Su Yu had successfully opened his apertures in only seven days. Was bottleneck a thing for Su Yu? He Tu sank into thought. Su Yu's talent was a tad bit too monstrous. Was this due to his bloodline? Or was this due to some other reason? Meanwhile, Su Yu was too busy to consider all that. He was busy consuming his rewards. All his apertures shone brightly while his sea of willpower trembled as it expanded. Above the sea, a floating hammer appeared. It was the Soul Expanding Hammer. Beside the Soul Expanding Hammer was the character technique with ninety-nine slots. At the moment, only twenty-eight characters floated around the character technique. Among them, the blood character was a Sunmoon character. The rest were also showing signs of advancement. Slowly, the apertures reached a balance, shining at a similar level of intensity. By this point, Su Yu was almost done absorbing the heavenly rewards. Abruptly, the 360 stars above the sea of willpower started moving. Forty of them started coming together. This was the sign of an advancement into the Mountainsea Realm. An advancement for willpower cultivation. Su Yu's willpower cultivation had always been faster, but his physical cultivation had always been stronger. His willpower cultivation was very effective at supportive functions, but it wasn't particularly strong. As Su Yu focused on his willpower, he noted that even with 360 apertures, as a ninth-stage Cloudbreach, he would barely be able to kill a Sunmoon. That was far too weak compared to his physical cultivation. Yes. Even with his willpower alone, he was already confident he could kill Sunmoons. In short, he was already as strong as Mo Duona relying on his willpower alone. Once again, the sea of willpower shook. The forty apertures started fusing. Su Yu did not have the proper aperture fusion method. He had broken his promise to Wu Lan. He had once said that he would name the method after her. Alas, he had not been able to figure out the method. He sighed helplessly. What could he do about it? His apertures had decided to fuse themselves without the assistance of a fusion method. How was he supposed to derive a fusion method if they were fusing themselves? Should he rename the grand cycle aperture method when he received it instead? That would be useful when one was fusing the final nine apertures. As Su Yu contemplated all that, the Soul Expanding Hammer started growing stronger. After his recent rapid growth in physical cultivation, the Soul Expanding Hammer was becoming more and more useless for him. But with the advancement of his willpower cultivation, would it grow enough to stun a middle-stage Sunmoon with a single hit? Or perhaps it would grow strong enough to collapse the willpower of a sixth-stage Sunmoon with one hit. The Soul Expanding Hammer was a truly powerful willpower technique. His sea of willpower continued growing and strengthening. The forty apertures were still in the middle of fusion. Ten, twenty, thirty... By the time the fusion was complete, forty became one and his sea of willpower expanded yet again with a rumble. Up in the sky, more shining clouds appeared. These were his rewards for his advancement into the Mountainsea Realm. Previously, he had been rewarded for opening his apertures. The rewards seemed to be a lot more generous in comparison to his physical cultivation rewards. Back then, he had only been rewarded after completing his body fusion. Meanwhile, he had received rewards twice in a row for his willpower cultivation. This time, the rewards did not arrive together with the Human Emperor's blessings. The clouds contained nothing except willpower. With the rewards, Su Yu focused only on his character. It was time to strengthen his characters. The blood character had reached the Sunmoon Realm, but he had other characters to advance as well. Su Yu intended to push the calm, tribulation, deceit, and change characters to the fifth tier as well. Additionally, the pass and slow characters needed to grow. As for the culture and radiance characters, both were already Sunmoon characters. There was no need to worry about them as they would grow alongside his Mark of Civilization. Even after becoming a Mountainsea in willpower cultivation, Su Yu did not think that he would have enough willpower to use. "I still need more willpower. Maybe I can consider borrowing the willpower grotto next time." The willpower grotto would be very helpful thanks to the large amount of riversand he had gathered recently. It was time to focus on his characters. He couldn't rely on only the heavenly rewards to grow his characters. After all, he had grown enough that not even killing an Invincible would guarantee a heavenly reward anymore. What was he supposed to do? Upgrading to killing Pseudo Emperors? As Su Yu absorbed the willpower from the clouds, the little furball salivated. He wanted to eat as well, but Yummy did not have enough to share. Yummy was not feeding him anymore! It had been a while since the little furball became a Mountainsea. He had eaten a lot of good stuff after his advancement. Unfortunately, the Sunmoon Realm still seemed far away for him. Su Yu had no idea how advancement worked for the little furball. In any case, he had not seen any signs of advancement on the little furball. With his rapid growth, he would outgrow the little furball's usefulness soon. In the past, the little furball could play a big role in battles by eating the characters or willpower of strong opponents. But now, Su Yu had grown enough to kill a Sunmoon with a mere slap while the little furball would have a hard time even damaging the willpower of a Sunmoon. Suddenly, one of his characters shone brightly. That was the first characer Su Yu had chosen to advance. It was a natural character. It was also an important character he relied on to predict incoming dangers. The tribulation character shook rapidly before releasing a final eruption of light. Then, it dimmed down and returned to maintaining a low profile. That was its natural state whenever no danger was detected. Then, Su Yu hesitated. Which character should he upgrade next? That was a very convenient character as well, especially when he wanted to rob or sneak attack someone. It could weaken the perception and hide the detection of his opponents. However, it was not a natural character. Just as Su Yu was contemplating the matter, a certain treacherous character came alive and shot into one of the clouds. Instantly, the darkish character advanced without making any noise. Yes. Even when advancing into a Sunmoon character, it stayed incredibly inconspicuous. After finishing the meal, it vanished again. Su Yu's mouth twitched. W...what the...what could he say here? When did that character learn to steal? Yes. The deceit character had advanced just like that. Su Yu was left quite speechless. But that was a useful character as well. It was extremely helpful in concealment, especially when it was used alongside the change and calm characters. But that wasn't the point. Su Yu had not considered advancing it yet. Why did it advance by itself? Su Yu looked at his remaining willpower helplessly. The leftover was not enough to push another character to the Sunmoon Realm. So be it. He might as well use the remaining willpower on his new characters instead. The pass and saint characters. The ability to blink through space was very important. The saint character was very important as well. It could increase the trust others would have on him. He could settle with upgrading both of them to the fourth tier. Before long, the willpower from the heavenly rewards was used up. The two new characters successfully reached the fourth tier. With this, the culture, radiance, blood, tribulation, and deceit characters became the five Sunmoon characters in Su Yu's possession. The rest were all Mountainsea characters. Such a composition was already comparable to the compositions of many Invincibles. Or to be precise, that was already comparable to the compositions of many human Invincibles. After all, there were no Invincible characters among the human race.
