Su Yu had nothing else to ask. Since Wan Tiansheng couldn't stay here for long, Su Yu stood up and said, "In that case, we'll be leaving first. Senior Xia, please spend some time cultivating here. If you have any problem, you can contact me through Lord Xing Yue or Lord Grandstar." He Tu said, "Worry about your own strength. I only care about my resurrection. There are two main obstacles in that. Firstly, you need to fully reverse my death qi. Secondly, you need to resist the laws. Coming back from death will definitely trigger the punishment of the laws. The heavens will not tolerate this." He Tu continued coldly, "Don't die too quickly. I was near Daofuse before my death. You need to at least be a Daofuse to bring me back to life. I need to remind you about this lest you start the process blindly and harm everyone." Su Yu inhaled deeply. That wouldn't be easy. "What about Lord Xing Yue?" "It will be no less dangerous than facing an eighth or ninth-degree Eternal. Grow strong enough to handle that before saying anything. You're not good enough to even start the process right now. Remember this, Su Yu. All crafty plots and machinations will ultimately rest on the amount of strength you can muster." He Tu was speaking from his own experience. He was far too weak during the first epoch. Sure, he was near Daofuse. But near Daofuse was still not the same as an actual Daofuse. That was why he had been killed so easily by a simple ploy. He might have killed many people before that, and he had even defeated Daofuses before, but he had still fallen. Because he was not a Daofuse himself. As a Daofuse, he would have been able to do even more. Su Yu smiled and said, "I understand. Before long, my body will reach the Sunmoon Realm. As for my willpower, it will easily reach the peak Mountainsea Realm. The Sunmoon Realm will pose some challenge though..." They were casually talking about Invincibles, Daofuses, human kings, and the Human Emperor. Suddenly, Su Yu said that he would reach the Mountainsea and Sunmoon Realms soon. That caused everyone to blank out slightly, as though they had just woken up from a dream. Mountainsea? Sunmoon? How long had it been since they last cared about such cultivation levels? Su Yu continued, "I have my own path to walk. In physical cultivation, my path forward is very clear. I only need to keep strengthening my body. As for my willpower, I aim to first push all my characters to the Sunmoon Realm before forming more characters to complete my character technique. At the moment, my character technique is still not reliable enough..." "Hmm?" Xia Chen asked in surprise, "Have you not completed your character technique?" "How can you count yourself a multiple character cultivator, then?" Su Yu grinned, "First Principal, you are outdated. My teacher created the disassembly method, allowing one to keep completing the character technique even after the Skysoar Realm." Xia Chen asked blankly, "What's his strength? Is he already an Eternal?" "No. But he's already a Cloudbreach." Xia Chen was dumbfounded. Cloudbreach. What was going on in the recent era? "How many characters have you formed?" "Why didn't you complete your character technique?" Su Yu shrugged, "My character technique requires more." "A lot more than even thirty?" Xia Chen exhaled, "No wonder. No wonder your willpower is so weak even with your monstrous talent. Turns out your character technique is incomplete." Xia Chen advised, "You should focus on forming your characters for now. Your combat strength will increase significantly after completing your character technique. According to my past research, you should form only human characters..." Su Yu said, "That's an old story. Everyone knows that now. We can only form human characters to prevent the characters from rejecting each other. That is the only way to smoothly become a Sunmoon or even an Invincible through willpower cultivation. All my characters are human characters." Once again, Xia Chen was left speechless. Had he died for so long? Why was he so outdated? Su Yu said, "Back then, my teacher speculated that humans were supposed to have racial abilities as well. That ability might appear after fusing all our characters. Are you aware of that, Senior Xia?" "Racial ability?" Xia Chen frowned. He Tu said in surprise, "What? Since when did humanity start having racial abilities?" Su Yu was even more surprised as he said, "Was there no such thing even during the ancient past? Why is humanity the exception when all the other races have their own racial abilities? This doesn't make sense." He had been dreaming of fusing his characters to trigger the appearance of a powerful racial ability. Bai Feng had long stopped this line of research as the difficulty was too high. Thus, he had shifted his focus to study blood essence and willpower with Wu Lan. Su Yu had to admit that his teacher was truly a monstrous researcher. Alas, his teacher had a short attention span. He would never complete his research before losing interest. He Tu said blankly, "There were no human racial abilities even during the ancient past. Humanity has never possessed racial abilities." Su Yu looked at Xing Yue. In his opinion, even He Tu was not too reliable. He was more willing to trust the oldest existence among them. Xing Yue frowned for a long time before saying uncertainly, "Human racial abilities...there might really be no such thing. I once heard the rumors of the Time Sage traversing the past and future. Perhaps that is a form of racial ability." She continued hesitantly, "I'm unsure if that's the case. Additionally, the so-called racial ability might be related to time...something capable of traversing the barrier of time. I'm not sure." Related to time? That sounded so powerful! Su Yu said, "So be it. I'll know after fusing my characters in the future." This concept was introduced by Bai Feng. Back then, some other people had researched the same topic as well, but they ultimately concluded that there was no such thing. However, Bai Feng had reached an entirely different conclusion, claiming that upon fusing all characters, the racial ability would appear. But nobody had ever succeeded in fusing all their characters thus far. Suddenly, Wan Tiansheng said, "Right now, you're very strong physically. But your characters and manipulation of laws are lacking. Without enough mastery over the laws, even escaping strong enemies will be difficult. You have enough strength to prevail over seventh-degree Eternals, but in a proper fight, you won't be able to kill such an opponent. As the battle drags out, you will be the one to die instead." Su Yu nodded and said gloomily, "It's not like I want this, but I really don't know the laws too well." Wan Tiansheng thought about it and said, "We'll talk more after leaving this place. I'll see if there is a way for me to teach you more. Are you strong enough to see the River of Time now?" "That is enough." Wan Tiansheng smiled, "In fact, it's a good thing. It signifies that you have reached a certain level of strength. With enough strength, you only need more understanding to gain mastery over time, space, and laws." Su Yu had nothing else to say. Before leaving, his gaze landed on Liu Hong, who had been trying to remain unnoticeable. When he reached out to grab Liu Hong, Liu Hong shouted, "Su Yu, I helped you! You can't do this to me!" "I'm not killing you." Su Yu snorted, "I have something to discuss with you. I intend to make a big sale, but I'm worried that my plan isn't good enough. Perfect my plan for me." "I'm selling the nine-leaf skylotus." As he walked, Su Yu explained, "I'll be selling dozens or even a hundred skylotuses away. But I have offended all the races out there, so it's very hard for me to sell things to them. They won't trust me anymore." "What was that again?" "Over a hundred skylotus. What about it?" "Nine-leaf skylotus?" Su Yu nodded and took something out. Liu Hong had never seen the real nine-leaf skylotus, but when he saw the lotus in Su Yu's hand, his breathing quickened as he said, "Is this really the nine-leaf skylotus?" This update is available on novel·fire.net Behind them, He Tu and the others looked over in surprise as well. He Tu exclaimed in surprise, "It's really the skylotus!" Xia Chen asked curiously, "Where did you get so many of them? There have always been nine in Devote King's Residence. You can't get so many even after emptying the residence." Once again, Xing Yue proved her worth and said, "Smiling mouth lotus?" Su Yu smiled, "Nine-leaf skylotus." "Smiling mouth lotus!" Xing Yue snorted. She could trust others, but definitely not Su Yu. At that, some memories returned to He Tu as he said with a frown, "Smiling mouth lotus? I seem to remember this lotus...but it shouldn't be available anymore. Where did you find it?" "How lucky." He Tu nodded and asked, "But you have offended everyone. Are you planning to sell them to the iron devourers and humans? Nobody else will buy from you." Su Yu sighed and said, "Yeah. It's hard for me to sell things nowadays. Too expensive and nobody will buy it, but too cheap and nobody will trust me. Everyone knows I have the skylotus, but it's too hard for me to do anything now." He said regretfully, "If it wasn't for the previous battle, I could have sold these lotuses to them." Just then, Liu Hong laughed and said, "This is easy. Enough benefits can move anyone. Just look at the Human Realm. Every now and then, the Myriad Race Cult would carry out all sorts of deals with the various prefectures even though they were supposed to be mortal enemies. "Any deal can be completed if enough benefits are on the line. But you need to sell them separately. Sell them petal by petal. Selling each lotus as a whole is less reliable. After all, an entire lotus can produce a Daofuse but a single petal is not as special. At most, they can only use it to cultivate their tri-life bodies. At present, we have plenty of Invincibles without their tri-life bodies around." Liu Hong concluded, "It's not hard. It merely depends on how gutsy you're feeling. Do you want to do a bigger deal? Or do you settle with a smaller deal? Both is possible here." Su Yu acknowledged the fact that he might not be able to come up with the best idea at times. It wasn't bad to get some advice every now and then. "A bigger deal is very simple." Liu Hong said, "But you need Lord Grand Dream's help for this. Get him to pursue the Heavenly Overseer Marquis into the boundless void. Then, we can disguise ourselves as the Heavenly Overseer Marquis and auction the lotus with Heavenly Hunt Pavilion's reputation." Su Yu frowned, "I'm now an enemy of the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion as well. Why would I sell my lotus through them?" Liu Hong smiled, "Why wouldn't you? In business, everything is possible. What's the harm of selling through them if they have what you need? So what do you need most right now?" Su Yu thought about it and answered, "I don't really lack anything, but I do happen to need the cultivation method for the grand cycle apertures." "Does the Heavenly Overseer Marquis have something like that?" "How am I supposed to know that?" "What about the Culture King?" "Since it's related to willpower cultivation, yes. Most likely." Su Yu said, "Are you saying that the Culture King definitely have the cultivation method since this is related to willpower cultivation? And as a subordinate of the Culture King, the Heavenly Overseer Marquis must have received it as well? No, that's not possible. Why would the Culture King impart that cultivation method to him?" "Who can say for sure? And if this is unknown to even you, what about the myriad races? This will be the perfect reason for you to deal with the pavilion." Su Yu shook his head, "It doesn't make any sense for the Heavenly Overseer Marquis to sell that cultivation method to me either." "True." Liu Hong said, "In that case, you only need to make a longer plan. It will work." Su Yu shook his head, "No, I can't afford to wait. I'll think of something...hmm...perhaps you're right. I can make use of someone." Su Yu rubbed his chin and said, "I can cooperate with an enemy. What about...Topsoil Spirit? Or Zhan Wushuang? Or Mo Duona? Nobody will trust me, but things will be entirely different for them. But the timing will be very important for this plan." As Su Yu's eyes flickered, he continued muttering, "We shall see. Apart from the cultivation method, I also lack carrier treasures." Or to be precise, he greatly lacked carrier treasures. He needed too many of them. He had only forged about twenty of them into his book. Wan Tiansheng asked doubtfully, "Why would you lack carrier treasures?" Hadn't the kid collected many carrier treasures already? That reminded Su Yu of something as he hurriedly looked at Xing Yue and said, "Lord, so many Invincibles were killed this time. Were there any carrier treasures left behind?" Xing Yue replied nonchalantly, "Yes. The other sovereigns didn't care about them so I collected them all. Perform well and I will bestow them upon you." It was true that death spirits didn't care about carrier treasures. Knowing that Su Yu needed them, Xing Yue had collected all the carrier treasures. "Lord, how many did you collect?" "Nine. The rest were destroyed in combat." What a pity. With eighteen Invincibles, at least thirty-six carrier treasures were available. Alas, so many of them had been destroyed. It was obvious how little death spirits cared for carrier treasures. More intact carrier treasures might have dropped, but the death sovereigns must have destroyed some during the battle. But nine was still a decent number. As for the Invincibles killed outside the Death Realm, Su Yu had collected some of their carrier treasures as well. However, the number was rather low as he had only managed to collect three. He had been too busy to collect more. All in all, he had gained twelve carrier treasures this time. Even after forging all twelve of them into his book, the total number wouldn't exceed forty yet. At that thought, Su Yu sighed and said, "I have a long road ahead of me. Including these newly gathered carrier treasures, the number of carrier treasures forged into my book hasn't even reached forty. I am planning to gather ten thousand of them." Hearing that, Wan Tiansheng stared at Su Yu blankly. Meanwhile, Liu Hong was trying very hard to keep his mouth shut. Forty. Two could produce an Invincible. These carrier treasures were enough to produce twenty new Invincibles. Lan Tian had been shouting about gathering ten thousand carrier treasures, but he had never been serious about it. Meanwhile, this bastard was doing it for real. Su Yu ignored their reaction and said, "Lord, I will come for those carrier treasures when I have the time. Please bestow them upon me in advance. I will come with something delicious next time." Xing Yue coldly said, "Say that after earning them." Su Yu thought about it and nodded, "No problem. I'll kill a few death spirits later and gather some death imprints for you." Xing Yue ignored him. That was essentially a yes from her. Wan Tiansheng wanted to ask for the nine carrier treasures as he could kill death spirits as well, but he decided to not compete against the damn kid. In any case, there was no guarantee that this death spirit would tolerate him the same way she was tolerating Su Yu. Su Yu grinned and left happily. It was time to strengthen himself, read Wisdom King's memories, and plan his next scam.
