Tribulation of Myriad Races-Chapter 1389: Su Yus Shocking Discovery (2)
Chapter 1389: Su Yu's Shocking Discovery (2)
While the heavily injured challengers were withdrawing from the tunnel, Su Yu was facing his second round of challengers. There were nine of them. There was even an immortal and a devil among them.
Su Yu was both surprised and unsurprised to see them. Even among the major races, some people would be excluded during the slot allocation. This was perfectly normal. None of the nine was a weakling, but most of them were only early Cloudbreaches.
Su Yu was unsure if this was because the door had the ability to determine the cultivation levels of the challengers. They weren't surprised to see that someone was already waiting inside.
Some of them knew who Langtu was. A large black bear looked at Langtu coldly and said, "Langtu? Looks like you killed everyone else in the first round. How lucky. I had been curious about the survivor in this door. So it was you?"
Langtu wasn't weak, but the black bear was confident he was stronger. Of course, the other challengers were no weaklings either. This time, things were a lot calmer. Unlike the previous round, a battle did not break out immediately.
Su Yu looked around and noted that all nine of them came from different races. The devil came from the blood fire devil race. This race had indeed sent a lot of people to the mansion this time. Clearly, the Blood Fire Devil King was aiming for the nine-leaf skylotus. He wondered if the Blood Fire Devil King would enter the mansion personally as well.
"Are there a lot of people left out there?" Su Yu asked.
The black bear sneered, "Nope. Kill us all, and you can probably guarantee this slot for yourself."
Wasn't this great? But could Langtu really kill them all?
"No?" Su Yu said helplessly, "In that case, I'll need to pick up the pace or I won't be able to fight the third round."
Before anyone could say anything, Su Yu unfurled his book with a sigh.
"Friends, welcome to my Mark of Civilization."
They wanted to laugh, but the immortal's expression changed drastically. He said, "Y-you...you're no--"
Before they could react, nine first-stage Sunmoon beasts emerged from the book. A Sunmoon against Cloudbreaches.
Some Cloudbreaches were strong enough to defeat Sunmoons, but such existences wouldn't appear here. Mo Duona was one of them. Apart from that, Su Yu couldn't think of anyone else who could do the same.
Each of them was swallowed with one bite. They didn't even have the chance to resist. The book started flipping by itself, revealing the new contents of the nine pages.
Immortal, ninth-stage Cloudbreach, foundation art...
With a smile, Su Yu started writing on the immortal page. He knew a lot about the immortals, including their cultivation methods. He recorded everything he knew onto the page. However, he only knew the versions that had been converted for human cultivation. It didn't matter. He could explore the past of these people and learn everything these people knew.
Slowly, the immortal page was filled up. According to the rules set by Su Yu during the forging, he had to collect the corpses of immortals from each cultivation level to fully complete the page. Thus, the page was far from completion.
"It won't be too hard to find corpses at the Skysoar Realm and beyond. But what about the lower realms?"
Those from the major races would rarely enter the Allheaven Battlefield before reaching the Skysoar Realm. Did this mean that he would need to enter the Immortal Realm to complete this page? This was also applicable to all his other pages. Would he need to take a trip to all the realms to complete the book?
"If the suppression force of each realm has existed since the ancient past, it can only mean that this profession is only suitable for humans."
If one weren't a human, one would be faced with the suppression force. The difficulty of corpse collection would increase significantly.
"Looks like this is a human-exclusive profession."
Just then, the door reopened. With a smile on his face, Su Yu waited expectantly for the third round of challengers.
***
Outside.
Some of the doors were already locked, signifying that those were the doors that had gone through three rounds of combat. The locked doors were easy to determine as they would stop drifting around, unlike the unlocked doors.
At this point, over a hundred doors had been locked down. These locked doors had all turned transparent.
The people inside these doors could see the outside, but those outside could see them as well. Some appeared relieved upon realizing that they had succeeded. Some of them had merely secured their slots through sheer luck while some had relied purely on their strength. With the doors locked, nobody could take their slots anymore.
The injured challengers were still leaving, but some were still staying behind stubbornly. Not many of them were left. There were about four hundred of them. These were the people who were resolved to succeed or die trying.
Seeing that over a hundred doors had been locked, some clenched their teeth and charged toward the remaining doors. They could only choose blindly as they wouldn't know who the survivors were.
The unlocked doors continued drifting around, making it difficult for one to determine who the survivors were. This was the time when one could only rely on luck. The lucky ones might enter a door with only a Skysoar. The unlucky ones might enter a door with a Sunmoon. That would spell their death.
Not all of the people left outside were weaklings. Some were even Sunmoons. The Sunmoons stopped hesitating. They couldn't afford to wait any longer.
One of them roared, "Everyone, this is our final chance. If fate allows it, let's meet in the mansion."
If fate did not allow it, they would simply die. The experts started flying toward the unlocked doors. As for the weaklings, they would pick their doors after these experts were done making their choices. This was the only way they could increase their chance of succeeding.
***
Before long, Su Yu welcomed his final round of challengers.
This time, there were only three of them.
They were similar in strength. That was mostly because no weakling would dare to enter the door they had entered. All three of them were Mountainseas. Or to be precise, they were all early Mountainseas.
They were relieved when they saw Su Yu inside. How fortunate. A weakling. A mere Cloudbreach.
Su Yu asked curiously, "Are there more people out there?"
"No. Those intending to continue fighting would have picked their doors by now."
A big bull smiled at Su Yu and said, "Little Fellow, looks like you have run out of luck."
Three Mountainseas and one Cloudbreach. That was a fair assessment.
Su Yu was also relieved. Only three Mountainseas. He had thought that he would encounter a Sunmoon. Sure, he could handle a Sunmoon even if it was a late-stage Sunmoon. But he didn't want to open his yang acupoint before even entering the mansion. That wouldn't be worth it.
This time, the three challengers attacked first. They had all decided to remove the weakling before anything else.
Instead of using his Mark of Civilization, Su Yu took his hammer out.
He swung his hammer thrice.
The three challengers dropped to the ground. Their seas of willpower were nearly blown apart by that strike. They had been instantly incapacitated.
Su Yu had cultivated his willpower to a terrifying level. A regular seventh-stage Mountainsea would be no match for him. And the Soul Expanding Hammer was no pushover either.
Then, the Mark of Civilization appeared and swallowed all three of them. He realized that his book would benefit more from intact corpses. After swallowing the three Mountainseas, Su Yu's expression changed slightly as he noted that the corresponding beast projections in his book seemed to have grown stronger.
Each of his three hundred pages corresponded to a different race. These were all common races. Thus far, he had only been collecting specimens from the corresponding races. For example, immortals would be collected in the page that had been forged with a drop of immortal blood essence.
As for corpses not among the three hundred, he would keep these corpses around for the future. He was unsure if it was due to the corpses he had collected. He could feel that the beast projections in his book had grown slightly.
"Not bad at all."
Su Yu was very pleased with this. The corpses had not vanished. They still existed inside the space in the pages. However, it wouldn't be a good idea to remove them. They were the specimens for his records. Removing them would also remove his records.
Sure enough, the Luminous Domain Mansion was a good place for him. He wasn't even inside yet he had gathered so many corpses.
After a short moment, Su Yu felt his world spinning. The door dropped from the sky abruptly. With a rumble, the room brightened out. Su Yu could finally see the world outside and all the other doors around him.
The doors were arranged in a circle. All 360 of the doors were arranged in a specific order, each occupying a different spot. Su Yu could see the occupants of the other doors. Naturally, they could see him as well.
One of the doors was still unlocked. The contest for that door was probably still ongoing. However, Su Yu was too occupied to care about all that.
From inside his door, which was essentially a transparent cage, he could see his surroundings. As he looked around, an odd expression covered his face.
360 doors.
They were arranged in a circle...no, a circle with a line across the center.
The more he looked, the more bizarre his expression became. Unlike the others who were calmly waiting in their doors, he kept looking around.
What was he looking at? The arrangement of these doors. Or to be precise, he was comparing. Yes. Comparing. He was comparing them to his acupoints.
360 acupoints.
As he looked, his eyes lit up.
Was this a coincidence? Was this a pure coincidence? No! This was no coincidence!
Su Yu was greatly shaken. "This is no coincidence! These are the 360 human acupoints, a diagram of the 360 acupoints!"
His gaze landed on a certain empty spot. There was no door there yet, but he muttered with confidence, "There!"
He was sure that there would be a door there. Sure enough, a transparent door settled there in less than three minutes. It was the same exact spot he had expected it to land. The more he thought, the brighter his eyes became.
The special entrance of the Luminous Domain Mansion had a special meaning behind it. These were the 360 acupoints of a human. Who was this made for? Why was there such an arrangement? Was the special entrance an entrance made by an expert who had opened the grand cycle acupoints?
Rumbling sounds rang out as all 360 doors settled into their respective positions.
The others did not think much about this. They did not know the positions of the 360 human acupoints. Even the current humanity was unfamiliar with all these positions.
Su Yu was the sole human alive who had opened all 360 acupoints.
Just then, an ancient race expert spoke from within one of the doors, "It's happening soon. The 360 slots have been secured. These doors will start rotating to open a connection to the mansion. Weaklings, be careful. Don't die to the powerful spatial force before you're even teleported into the mansion."
"Rotation?"
Su Yu's eyes flickered as he focused on the doors. Sure enough, the 360 doors started rotating right as the final door settled into its position. They were rotating at an incredibly fast speed.
Su Yu's eyes shone as he observed every single detail about these doors. A look of overwhelming shock covered his face. Everyone believed that this was merely a process of connecting these doors to the mansion. But Su Yu had a feeling that this was...a cultivation method!
Or to be precise, this was a diagram of the circulation route for all 360 acupoints.
"Grand cycle cultivation method?"
Once again, Su Yu was overwhelmed with shock. Just who was the creator of this special entrance?
This was a cultivation method!
The 360 doors started linking up with each other, as though they were accumulating power.
