Tribulation of Myriad Races

Yun Hao, a ninth-stage Mountainsea of the divine race.

Essentially, he was a nobody. This was an identity Su Yu had chosen randomly.

On the seventh level, where Sunmoons and Invincibles reigned, a Mountainsea who wasn’t a young genius would not attract any attention. Yun Hao was slightly popular among the divines, but he was a total nobody for Su Yu.

Naturally, there was an advantage to being a nobody. It was much easier for someone like that to stay low profile. Even Cloudbreach geniuses would receive more attention than these people. That was why these people would be here to look for spoils from Mo Duona’s battle. True experts and geniuses would not deign to do something like this.

With this identity, Su Yu gained a new companion. The new companion was a relatively old divine who had entered through the special entrance. One could say that he had entered through sheer luck. Since he came from the same race with Yun Hao, they had decided to stick together once inside the mansion.

The old divine was feeling quite regretful at having failed to collect any spoils. While leaving with Su Yu, he sighed and said, “Back then, I looted the battlefield of the ancient immortals and humans. There, I earned a rather big profit. Among the myriad races, the humans are the most stingy. They will rarely leave any spoils behind. The immortals are the most generous. Most of the time, they will ignore the cheaper spoils.”

The humans were the most stingy. That was understandable since the humans were poor. One should not dream of getting any spoils from any battlefield where humans had prevailed.

Su Yu said, “What can we do if we lack both talent and backers? The geniuses of our divine race are quite rich as well. But they never share anything with us.”

The old divine looked around and said, “Enough complaining. You’re doing decent enough. Don’t forget the slot you received from the celestial eye divine race.”

Su Yu complained, “That’s because they’re afraid of dying inside the mansion. Maybe they already knew of this crisis in advance. They only sent me here to throw my life away.”

“Yun Hao, you shouldn’t say that. I couldn’t even get a slot for myself.”

The old divine sighed. These youngsters were too snappy. Yun Hao wasn’t exactly a youngster anymore, but Yun Hao was definitely much younger than the old divine.

Su Yu merely snorted. He did not bother to say more. Yes. This was how Yun Hao was. He was negative and snappy.

When he looked up, he noticed the presence of many Invincibles. At the sight of them, he curled his lips and said, “Old Hao, mark my words. These Invincibles are waiting here angrily, but they won’t dare to kill Mo Duona. Even if they do try, the devils won’t allow that. This is the benefit of having a backer. He will be fine even after slaughtering so many immortals.”

“Learn to watch your mouth.”

Old Hao was feeling very helpless. Yun Hao had this habit of talking about things he shouldn’t. Was someone like him qualified to even gossip about Invincibles? Was he tired of living?

Su Yu muttered, “He Tu is coming. Those already on the level will also start fighting each other. Peace is gone. More and more people are dying. Just look at all the falling moons during the past two days. If even Sunmoons are dying so easily, how are Mountainseas like us supposed to survive?”

Su Yu continued grumbling, “Our lives are worthless to them. The great and mighty divine kings have never thought of sharing anything with us. This trip is a complete waste. We’re so desperate we have to start looking for spoils from the battleground of others.”

“Enough.”

Once again, Old Hao interrupted Yun Hao. He started wondering if he should split up with Yun Hao. This was a dangerous person to be with.

Su Yu merely mumbled at himself before shutting his mouth.

After a while, he looked up again and asked, “When will the seal be removed?”

“Soon. This place is different from the ancient cities. The lock will only remain for a day.”

“So we still have some time…” Su Yu lowered his voice and said, “Old Hao, let’s check out the nine-leaf skylotus. Even if we can’t touch it, we can still smell it. Perhaps that’s enough for us to make an advancement.”

“Stop dreaming.” Old Hao laughed and said, “You won’t even have the chance to approach it. Invincibles are keeping watch over that place.”

“It will be fine for us to look at it from afar.” Su Yu argued, “It’s not like we’ll be able to get the skylotus. Are they going to stop us from even looking at it? Just give me an answer. Are you going? I doubt we can find anything good in the residence anymore. The seventh level is too barren. What a pity. Then again, there’s nothing we can do since He Tu is down there.”

“It’s not that there aren’t treasures on the seventh level, but these treasures are too dangerous for the likes of us to collect. The nine-leaf skylotus isn’t the most valuable treasure on the seventh level. This was merely a recreational pond of Devote King back then. There are better treasures elsewhere, but you won’t be able to survive those places.”

“Sigh.”

Su Yu sighed again.

Old Hao said, “Alright, alright. Stop sighing. I’ll go with you. Let’s take a look at the nine-leaf skylotus. There’s nothing special about this since we won’t be able to approach it.”

At that, the two started going deeper into the residence. They did encounter other people on their way, including some divines. However, most of the divines would frown and move away the moment they saw Yun Hao. That was mainly because Yun Hao had a terrible attitude and lacked the ability to control his mouth.

Old Hao was the only one willing to stick with him since they both came from the same subrace within the greater divine race. Or to be precise, there was a Pseudo Invincible within Yun Hao’s family, making them a slightly influential family. That was why Old Hao was staying with him.

Since he couldn’t find a way to approach the truly important people, he had to stick with someone like Yun Hao. It wasn’t even hard for him to find an excuse to stay with Yun Hao since both of them came from the same subrace.

Su Yu did not care about all that. He only needed to play his role as Yun Hao well. Inwardly, his body was still slowly growing and digesting his gains from his recently finished second transformation. He still needed some time to complete the process. Upon completion, he would be able to surpass 3.8 million acupoints in strength. That would be incredible.

At the moment, Su Yu was busy reversing his death qi into source qi. He had even stopped absorbing Xing Yue’s death qi. Instead, he was feeding his yang acupoint himself. While he was not in combat, he could barely produce enough source qi to feed his yang acupoint. This balance would be broken the moment he needed to fight.

This was also the main reason why he didn’t want to open his yang acupoint without Xing Yue around. Now that Xing Yue was here, he no longer needed to restrict himself. But he still needed to be careful lest the death qi in his body grew thick enough to be sensed by Invincibles.

“Snatching the nine-leaf skylotus, cultivating the Mark of Civilization, opening more apertures, and obtaining the aperture cultivation method. Then, I can push both my willpower and body to the peak Mountainsea Realm.”

That was his current plan. Killing more people was no longer his priority. However, the nine-leaf skylotus was very important. Without the skylotus, he would probably need about ten years to reach the Mountainsea Realm.

The skylotus was his sole chance to accelerate that process. Such a treasure was probably very rare nowadays. Before long, the two reached a massive building. Numerous experts were seated cross-legged outside the building.

They were all Pseudo Invincibles. Each of the races with Invincibles in the mansion would station at least one Pseudo Invincible here.

Su Yu glanced at the human and noted that it was Cheng Mo, a familiar face to him.

Since when did Cheng Mo become a Pseudo Invincible?

Su Yu was quite surprised. Wasn’t Cheng Mo supposed to be a peak ninth-stage Sunmoon? Did he break through recently? Why was he on guard duty? This was such a dangerous job. The Pseudo Invincibles of the other races were all veteran Pseudo Invincibles.

Su Yu did not pay too much attention to Cheng Mo. It was also probable that Cheng Mo was still a peak ninth-stage Sunmoon. After all, there weren’t a lot of Pseudo Invincible humans left. Too many of them had broken through recently while some had died. A few had also suffered serious injuries after failing to break through.

Thus, Yun Chen and Lan Tian were the only well-known human Pseudo Invincibles who had entered the mansion this time. Unfortunately, Lan Tian was unreliable while Yun Chen was too mysterious. It was hard for one to even locate him.

Thus, Cheng Mo was probably the strongest expert humanity had to offer, excluding the Invincibles.

Just then, a divine Pseudo Invincible looked at them and frowned, “Yun Hao, what are you doing here?”

Su Yu cupped his fists and smiled, “Lord, we wish to take a look at the nine-leaf skylotus…”

“Ridiculous!” The Pseudo Invincible berated them, “Leave. Nobody is allowed to enter.”

Clearly, these Pseudo Invincibles were here to keep others from entering and causing trouble inside.

Su Yu said awkwardly, “We only wish to take a look from the outside. Lord, it hasn’t been easy for us to come this far. We only wish to take a look at the skylotus and perhaps gain some enlightenment from it.”

The Pseudo Invincible sneered and said, “Sure. But let me remind you that this gate is the sole entrance into the building. It is very dangerous to try to climb over the wall. Think properly before doing anything stupid.”

“Thank you, Lord!”

Su Yu was extremely polite. Yes, Yun Hao had a bad attitude. But his attitude would change depending on who he was facing. Before long, Su Yu reached one of the walls with Old Hao. They were not alone. Some other people were there as well. They were all trying to look inside the building.

There were divines, devils, immortals, and humans among them. In fact, Su Yu even saw a familiar face here: Qin Hao.

The number two of the Qin Family.

Su Yu reckoned this was the most pitiful number two of the various top human families. Just look at the other number twos. They were all terrifyingly strong. Meanwhile, the pitiful Qin Hao wasn’t even a ninth-stage Sunmoon.
