Tribulation of Myriad Races

Su Yu glanced at the collected water in his storage ring. If he failed to find the smiling mouth lotus…cough, cough. He would think about it later. It was only a little bit of saliva. It was no big deal.

Cough, cough. He would decide later. There was no rush. The Luminous Domain Mansion was filled with treasures.

If things got desperate enough, he simply needed to brace himself and shut his eyes. At that point, he could eat anything if it meant recovery. Thus, this was a problem for future him to worry about.

Su Yu kept consoling himself that this saliva was an absolute treasure. Countless people dreamed of eating it. He should be thankful he could eat some. Just then, he finished tempering his mouth.

With this, he was left with only his belly button to temper. That might have to wait until he was on the second level or at the entrance to the second level.

After tempering so many of his Source Opening acupoints, his head had grown much stronger. But that was nothing. More importantly, he also had a feeling that he had somehow elevated himself into a higher being.

He felt as though…he was no longer part of the mundane. Sure, as a cultivator, he had long ceased being a part of the mundane. But as of this moment, he felt as though even if he cut his head off, he could continue living a long life.

As he was already very strong, the changes on him weren’t exactly that obvious. Meanwhile, Xia Huyou was the one to feel the transformation most vividly. Just by following behind Su Yu for a bit, he had completed up to his twenty-fourth body forging.

How terrifying.

This place was simply filled with treasures. He would complete a body forging with any random treasure he picked up while following behind Su Yu. Before he knew it, he had completed the twenty-fourth forging.

As Xia Huyou cultivated the Sky Sundering Saber, he could complete up to thirty-six body forgings. Thus, he could now be considered a sixth-stage Skysoar. The seventh stage wasn’t even that far away. Perhaps a piece of earwax would be enough to push him into the seventh stage.

Huang Teng was also on the verge of completing another transformation to become a seventh-stage Cloudbreach. Meanwhile, Su Yu was still a first-stage Cloudbreach. His changes were clearly not as obvious as the other two.

“I need the proper cultivation method…”

He recalled what he saw when entering the mansion. He was unsure if what he saw was the circulation method of Old Zhou or the builder of the mansion. Unfortunately, he had not been able to witness the full circulation.

“I still don’t have all the apertures…but I can put that aside for now. I need to focus on my body first. I can’t complete my Cloudbreach transformations randomly as that will greatly affect my combat strength.”

He needed a proper cultivation method. Perhaps…this would be the best time for him to conduct some experiments. After all, he was already injured. If he waited until he had fully recovered before conducting his experiments, he might injure himself again and end up wasting more resources for recovery.

He was not concerned about receiving more injuries when he was already injured. With Flesh Regrow, he could ensure that his body would not collapse completely. There would always be a base he could regrow from. That was enough.

Of the 360 acupoints, he had seen the circulation route through 250 of them. Every cultivation method followed a certain set of rules. He only needed to connect the remaining acupoints in a logical manner. In fact, following this line of thought, he could link around 300 of his acupoints. Only a small number of acupoints needed some tests.

“There might be more than one grand cycle cultivation method. I might not need to use something existing. As long as I can link all the acupoints smoothly, I will be able to temper and transform my acupoints all at the same time. As for the strength of this unorthodox cultivation method…it’s really not that important.”

Why would different cultivation methods utilizing the same number of acupoints differ in strength? That was because some cultivation methods were more efficient than others. After all, any circulation route capable of linking all the acupoints without harming the user could technically be considered a cultivation method.

“The linkage of my acupoints is my current priority. As for the strength of the cultivation method, I can readjust at a later date.”

Suddenly, Su Yu thought of something else. If this were a head, there should be another important acupoint her,e even if that wasn’t one of the nine Source Opening acupoints. The forehead acupoint between the brows.

That was the acupoint he had discovered through the devils. Suddenly, he pointed at a spot near the two Brow Mountains and asked, “Is the entrance to the next level there?”

“Yeah.” Yellow Nine asked, “Didn’t you ask the same question earlier?”

No. That wasn’t it. Yes, he pointed in the same direction when he asked the question previously. But at the time, he was referring to the One Hundred Openings. However, he had confirmed that the Human Face World was cut off somewhere near the forehead.

The One Hundred Openings was not there. Only the forehead acupoint between the eyebrows could be found there. That acupoint was the entrance to the second level.

“Forehead acupoint …”

Perhaps this would be a good opportunity to check how that acupoint would operate according to the grand cycle cultivation method. Of his 360 acupoints, the operation of three of them was particularly hard to derive. Unlike the other acupoints, the three did not have any counterparts in the human body.

They were respectively the forehead acupoint, the Heaven Connecting Acupoint, and the spine acupoint he had discovered from a divine cultivation method. If he could figure out the operational method and circulation route of these three acupoints, he wouldn’t be far from deriving the entire grand cycle cultivation method.

“Forehead acupoint, spine acupoint, and Heaven Connecting Acupoint…”

Su Yu muttered to himself.

“Also…”

Suddenly, he looked at the Heavenly Pit again. “There might be a door somewhere down there.”

The three looked at him in astonishment. What was he talking about?

“Those big doors…”

Su Yu was referring to the doors in the special entrance. He suspected that those doors had all returned here. They had all returned to their respective acupoints. Thus, there might be a door in each of the 360 acupoints. These were the doors one could use to leave the mansion.

At the moment, none of the doors were visible. Perhaps they were all hiding away in the void. They would only reappear when it was time to leave. The Luminous Domain Mansion had too many secrets.

Su Yu was in no rush to uncover everything right away. He could uncover the truth one level at a time. Having decided on that, he said, “Let’s go to the entrance. We’re going to the second level.”

“Are you not going to further explore the first level?” Xia Huyou was reluctant to leave. He said, “There are more treasures to be found here…”

Su Yu said, “Nope. The places you know are probably some pores or sweat glands. What can you find there except trash? It’s a waste of time.”

Fine, fine.

Xia Huyou didn’t know what to say anymore. Trash? The earwax was trash. The nasal hair was trash. Even the saliva was trash. Yet Su Yu had collected them all. So why was he complaining about trash now?

Looking at the teeth around them, Xia Huyou sighed, “What a pity that we can’t pluck these platforms off. They are sturdy enough to serve as heaven weapons or even carrier treasures.”

“You can try if you’re tired of living.”

Su Yu rolled his eyes. Old Zhou was still capable of reacting instinctively. If Xia Huyou attempted something like that, he would probably be bitten to death.

Speaking of…

Su Yu looked at two of the peaks around there. If he could really pluck them off…they would really be quite valuable.

What a pity. Was Old Zhou still capable of shutting his mouth?

At that thought, he grabbed the others and said, “Let’s move further away. It’s dangerous here.”

“Danger?”

They looked at him with surprise. Where was the danger?

Su Yu ignored them.

After moving some distance away, he reopened the acupoint he had shut previously. Immediately, the cries of pain slammed into his mind. Fortunately, he had braced himself for this. Thus, he wasn’t too badly affected.

With a wave of his hand, he erected a barrier around Xia Huyou and the others. Then, he yelled, “Tai Shan!”

Boom!

“Tai Shan!”

The sky collapsed. The earth shattered. The furious roar resounded in the air.

Then, the distant mouth clamped shut. Space itself shattered from the sheer biting force of that mouth.

Alarmed, Su Yu hurriedly shut one of his acupoints. The moment he did that, the first level started calming down again.

The mouth reopened, turning back into the Heavenly Pit.

Su Yu inhaled deeply.

Was there a way to…lure some Invincibles to the first level?

Holy shit!

That single bite was enough to heavily injure, if not outright kill, an Invincible. That was too fast.

Meanwhile, Xia Huyou and the others were greatly surprised. The disaster this time wasn’t as big, and it had ended almost immediately. When they looked at the Heavenly Pit again, they saw that it still looked the same. The only difference was the addition of some spatial cracks above the pit.

Xia Huyou shivered and said, “Impressive, Su Yu. How did you know that some spatial cracks would appear there? That would have been very dangerous.”

Su Yu smiled and said nothing. How could he not know about the coming danger? After all, he was th—no. It was Old Zhou, not him. Sure enough, Old Zhou was still capable of reacting. That mouth of his could probably bite even Invincibles to death.

“Let’s go.”

As Su Yu resumed his journey, He Tu was looking around with an incomparably solemn expression.

Danger.

Earlier, an intense sense of danger had arisen within him out of nowhere. Thus, he decided that he was in no rush to enter the first level. It wouldn’t hurt to wait until the danger had passed before entering.
