Tribulation of Myriad Races

The experts started conversing with each other through voice transmissions. Among the divines, a divine skywing had arrived as well. Zhan Wushuang asked the expert through voice transmission, “Are there any records about this weapon in the divine skywing race?”

“That…”

The divine skywing expert was a Sunmoon as well. He answered uncertainly, “It’s hard to say. We don’t have a lot of records from the ancient past. Most of the records we have only provide general explanations about the past. There are no detailed records. After all, no expert will easily reveal everything about their weapon to others. But since it’s a heaven-grade longbow, it might really be the weapon of choice for an ancient divine skywing expert.”

Numerous gazes landed on an old man amid the crowd. Someone asked, “Master Divine Forge, what do you think?”

The old man came from a top 100 race that wasn’t too powerful, the ironforge race. The old man was one of the few earth weaponsmiths active in the Allheaven Battlefield.

The old man carefully inspected the weapon with his willpower while answering, “The materials of this weapon are decent. The weapon has the durability of earth weapons, but it doesn’t feel as durable as heaven weapons. But that might be due to the age of this weapon and the lack of maintenance. There is a rather high possibility that this is an ancient heaven weapon…”

Then, he started inspecting the golden stripes. Shortly after, he added, “These are genuine ancient stripes…”

But soon, he frowned, “Some of them are hard to judge. They are too unstable, as though they’re on the verge of falling apart…”

Those were the fake stripes added by Su Yu. All these fake stripes felt extremely frail, as though they would fall apart at the slightest impact. Master Divine Forge did not dare to use too much of his willpower on them as they were too frail. If he accidentally caused a collapse, the devils wouldn’t spare him.

But from its outer appearance alone, this weapon seemed genuine. Master Divine Forge concluded, “From its outer appearance, this is an ancient weapon. I can’t send my willpower deeper since an ancient formation is preventing that from happening. That’s an ancient counter-strike formation. As for the stripes, some of them are too frail. I can’t be sure if those are genuine or not. But a majority of the stripes are indeed ancient stripes.”

That much was enough. It was already quite impressive of him to reach such a detailed conclusion without getting in contact with the weapon. Some of the experts started nodding after inspecting the weapon. They were convinced that this was an ancient weapon.

Su Yu asked, “Are you done? If you are, let’s move on to the next item.”

Next, a corpse appeared. Seated in the lotus position, it emitted an incomparably powerful aura. Faint traces of death qi could also be felt on the corpse. Nevertheless, the death qi couldn’t erase the powerful presence of the corpse.

The face of the corpse had rotted slightly, and some healed wounds could be seen on its body. However, it was obvious that this expert had received incredibly powerful attacks before dying. All the experts present were shocked when they inspected the corpse.

“This expert is no weaker than the eighth-stage Sunmoon Realm prior to death…”

“Nonsense. This expert has died long ago and has even suffered the erosion of death qi yet still possesses the presence of an eighth-stage Sunmoon. This expert was definitely a pseudo Invincible or even an Invincible prior to death.”

“From the wounds, traces of an Invincible’s aura can still be felt. Was the killing blow dealt by an Invincible?”

“This expert might have been killed by multiple Invincibles.”

“None of that is the point. Check the sea of willpower…”

Boom!

Right at that moment, a powerful backlash erupted from the sea of willpower when these experts tried inspecting it. This was the work of the counter character. Through Su Yu’s hard work, the character was restored to the Sunmoon Realm.

Some of the experts grunted in pain. The aura of an ancient character appeared for a split second before withdrawing into the corpse.

“Ancient character!”

Someone stood up and exclaimed in shock. Was that really an ancient character? Why was it still so powerful? How terrifying. Even after such a long time, this character still possessed the might of a Sunmoon. It was most likely no weaker than the seventh-stage Sunmoon Realm originally. And nobody knew if this was merely the weakest character in this ancient expert’s possession.

Ancient character!

Some of the people grew excited. This was actually an ancient cultural researcher. Of course, this might also be a warrior or someone who had cultivated both paths. After all, the body of this corpse was clearly quite powerful as well. Sure, the corpse was slightly rotting, but in the eyes of these experts, the rot was proof that this was an ancient corpse.

Then again, it would be weird for the corpse to not rot after it was processed by Su Yu with death qi. In fact, it was quite impressive for him to be able to cause an eighth-stage Sunmoon corpse to rot.

Su Yu indifferently said, “I don’t care about any of these. I have no way of utilizing both the corpse and the weapon. As for the ancient character, I was only able to find one. Due to the counter-striking properties of the character, I couldn’t go deeper into the sea of willpower. For me, the ancient cultivation method is the biggest discovery.”

A slightly damaged jade talisman appeared in his hand. This was an actual ancient talisman he had bought recently.

He said, “I’ll show you the early parts of the cultivation method. You can judge for yourself whether it is legitimate. Of course, I’ll also perform a little demonstration of this cultivation method.”

Then, a row of characters written in a similar language to the characters used in ancient cities appeared in the air. The experts hurriedly read the revealed text. Even though the text was short, for some reason, they felt like the very truth of creation was contained within those characters.

Their eyes sparkled at that discovery. Suddenly, Su Yu’s entire body shook as he inhaled deeply, taking in a large amount of source qi. Waves of powerful devilish qi rippled out of his body. Then, he threw a punch, shattering space and creating a loud rumble.

“Hah!” Finally, he exhaled, releasing a mouthful of source qi mixed with some dark qi. With a smile, he said, “Did you see that? This cultivation method is nameless. I named it the Tempered Body Breathing Art.”

“…”

The experts started cursing inwardly. What bullshit name was that? But that wasn’t the main point. Everyone’s eyes sparkled as they were finally shown an actual breathing technique, a technique from the ancient past.

Breathing technique, ancient heaven weapon, a corpse no weaker than ninth-stage Sunmoon Realm, an ancient character no weaker than the seventh-stage Sunmoon Realm…

At this point, nobody would believe that this was a scam. There was absolutely no way for this to be a scam. This would be way too expensive a scam to pull off. Only an absolute fool would invest so much into a scam.

What a joke.

This was impossible. Every single thing they had seen so far was something even major races would keep as a treasured collection upon discovery. Meanwhile, the masked individual was still busy writing and drawing,

***

Amid the boundless space, several faceless elders of the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion were gathered in a room. All of them were paying close attention to the live updates from the masked individual.

One of them exclaimed in astonishment, “Tempered Body Breathing Art…a breathing technique capable of tempering the body and removing the impurities within one’s body through breathing. There is no doubt this is a breathing technique. Check our records for known breathing techniques with these abilities.”

Shortly after, someone said, “It’s hard to pinpoint any single breathing technique. There are several breathing techniques in our records with similar abilities, such as the Lightning Breathing Art, the Body Forging Breathing Art, the Heavenwar Breathing Art…”

“How about the ancient character? Are you able to determine its origins?”

“It’s very difficult. Through our searches, we only know of one ancient divine at the seventh-stage Sunmoon Realm with such a character. But that expert was a trident user, not a bow user. He was known for his counter-striking abilities…”

“This ancient expert was most definitely stronger than that. According to White One, the corpse still feels like an eighth-stage Sunmoon. There are traces of death qi in the corpse. This expert wouldn’t be weaker than the ninth-stage Sunmoon Realm in the past.”

“…”

The elders continued their discussion. It was too hard to find an expert fitting all the descriptions. Sure, they had a massive database, but after so many years, it was inevitable that some records would be lost. The elders felt quite helpless.

“So? Should we buy it or not? Is Tianduo actually lucky enough to encounter something like this?”

“From what we can see, there are no issues. Tianduo himself has learned the breathing technique so it should be real. But…it’s hard for us to reach a proper conclusion without knowing the identity of this ancient expert.”

“So this is still risky.”

“It doesn’t matter. It’s better for us to get our hands on this corpse. We might be able to find more valuable information from this corpse.”

“Just the breathing technique, ancient heaven weapon, and ancient character are already incredibly valuable.”

“…”

Even the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion, with its business spread all over the Allheaven Battlefield, wasn’t sure if this discovery was real. But they were inclined to believe that the discovery was legitimate.

They were only hesitating because they couldn’t pinpoint the exact identity of that expert. Silence descended. Even a fool would know that this wouldn’t be a cheap purchase. After all, the breathing technique had been verified to be real.

Apart from the breathing technique, they also believed that the corpse, the character, and the weapon were real as well. Their only doubt was the identity and the actual strength of this ancient expert.

Why was Tianduo the one to make such a discovery? They could only conclude that he was also a child of destiny. He was blessed by fortune, and he could very well be the next Mo Duona. Fortune, as a concept, was extremely ethereal and vague. But nobody could deny that all the young geniuses were individuals with incredible luck.
