Tribulation of Myriad Races-Chapter 1407: Who Is Tai Shan? (2)
Chapter 1407: Who Is Tai Shan? (2)
Su Yu nodded. The past explorers had probably believed that this design was some weird fetish or joke. Since they hadn't been able to gain much from their explorations, they had eventually given up on further investigations.
However, Su Yu knew that the design of this place held a massive significance. Sure, the treasures here might seem less valuable compared to carrier treasures or some other treasures one could find elsewhere. But the actual benefits one could reap here were incredible as well.
"Let's go."
Su Yu did not bother to explain further. His water character appeared and transformed into a ball around them. Then, they sank into the sea together. The deeper they went, the higher the pressure was. Eventually, even Su Yu found it suffocating to continue staying underwater.
However, he persisted and continued sinking. That gave Xia Huyou and the others a massive scare. If Su Yu were to die from this, all of them would die as well.
"Enough, enough. If we go any deeper, we won't be able to return anymore..."
"Who told you we're going deeper?"
Su Yu glanced at Xia Huyou with disdain. This was an ear. Thus, he had to start moving to the side to enter the ear canal instead of going straight down. After all, this was the ear, not the eye. It merely didn't look like one because of the water flooding the ear.
While moving to the side, Su Yu said, "We will reach the bottom if we go deeper. There's nothing valuable there. This is the left ear. We need to move to the right as that's where the ear canal is."
"Are you sure?" Xia Huyou asked doubtfully, "The human race has been exploring this level for hundreds of years. It's not that nobody has explored in this direction before. However, you will only encounter a solid wall to the right. Everything in the Luminous Domain Mansion is incredibly durable. Even if you do manage to get through the wall, you won't find anything."
"You can believe what you want."
Before long, Su Yu decided on a location and started bombarding it. However, nothing happened.
Xia Huyou grumbled, "I told you..."
"Told my ass. Make way!"
Then, Su Yu threw a punch with all his strength. With that punch, he was finally able to create a tiny opening on the wall. As he continued punching it, he said, "I will expand the hole slightly before entering. The water will enter as well so you better be careful. A normal human will start shaking their head around when water enters their ear."
"Nonsense."
Xia Huyou laughed with amusement. Was this a joke? But he couldn't help but start wondering. Would that really happen? Wouldn't that be terrifying? This was the Human Face World. If such a world started shaking...wouldn't it be world-ending?
Su Yu continued bombarding the wall with his punches. Even after half an hour, he had only created a tiny opening on it. Anyone else would have given up by now.
As far as everyone else was concerned, only a madman would persist in punching a wall for no reason. Even Su Yu, who was mustering the strength of a Sunmoon, was having such a hard time with it. What about Mountainseas and Cloudbreaches? Would they have to spend their entire month here?
However, Su Yu did not doubt himself. He was certain that the ear canal was behind this wall. This so-called wall was merely the accumulated earwax. As long as he could remove it, the passage would be clear. As for the famous solidwater pearls, they were probably the crumbs that had fallen off the blockage here.
After an hour, even Su Yu started panting. Finally, Huang Teng lost patience and suggested, "Brother Su, shall we forget this? The water pressure is massive while the wall is impregnable. Are you sure there's a passage behind the wall?"
Su Yu continued punching the wall as he said, "Grab each other tightly. Be ready to catch my arm. The moment the passage is clear, water will start flowing in. There might be a reaction to that. With a single shake, the entire Ear Sea will be gone. The Ear Sea will cease existing after today."
Was this a joke? They were doubtful, but the certainty in Su Yu's voice caused them to wonder if he was really right. Suddenly, a loud crackling sound rang out. The wall before them finally crumbled apart. When they saw what was behind the wall, their expressions changed. There was really a passage there!
This was not a surprise to Su Yu. He merely smiled with satisfaction.
Behind the crumbling wall, a gust of incomparably dense source qi flowed out. Also at the same time, everyone in the Human Face World had an illusion that someone had just moaned in satisfaction.
The blockage in the ear had finally been cleared. This would naturally feel great. Even the Human Face World would feel uncomfortable after so many years of blockage. Finally, someone had cleared the blockage. How comfortable.
But the comfort only lasted a short moment as the water pouring into the ear canal started causing the Human Face World discomfort again. Meanwhile, Xia Huyou and the others were completely stunned.
They felt as though they were bathing in source qi. Additionally, numerous solidwater pearls were also shooting out of the passage behind the wall. They were massive, and there were a lot of them.
Xia Huyou's eyes shone as he exclaimed, "Holy shit! This...just one of these pearls will be enough to help a warrior reach the ninth-stage Skysoar Realm! No, it might even be enough to reach the Cloudbreach Realm! Holy shit! There are so many of them!"
These pearls were absolute treasures for body cultivators.
Su Yu didn't even spare the pearls a glance as he said, "All these? Trash. They are merely the crumbs of the accumulated earwax. If you really want them, feel free to pick them up. I'm entering. Are you guys coming?"
"Yes!"
Xia Huyou hurriedly signaled Huang Teng to start gathering all the solidwater pearls nearby.
Eventually, the pushing force from behind the wall vanished, allowing the seawater to start flowing inside the passage. At that moment, Su Yu grabbed everyone and said, "Let's go. You can pick up the trash here later. I have a feeling this air will start moving soon."
He had barely finished his words when the entire world started shaking. The shaking was so intense that Xia Huyou couldn't even see clearly anymore. From above, one would be able to see the entire ear twitching while the seawater roiled violently.
The few explorers seeking for treasures nearby were instantly struck by the towering waves of the Ear Sea. In fact, the waves were so violent that every one of these explorers was smashed into pieces.
The movement was so intense that everyone in the Human Face World could sense the tremors. When they looked toward the direction the tremors were coming from, all they saw were towering waves, moving with enough momentum to kill even Mountainseas.
"Run!"
"Something is happening!"
The expressions of numerous people changed. Something like this had never happened before. The ear continued twitching, seemingly trying to shake the water out of it. Or to be precise, the left ear was trying to shake the water off it. Meanwhile, the right ear remained blocked. Thus, there wasn't much movement there.
Boom!
It felt as though the world was ending. Dozens of cultivators were killed by the rampaging waves. Every one of them had a look of despair right before dying. How was this happening? Why was this happening?
Why was the Ear Sea rampaging? They had heard of people drowning in the sea before. Most of them had laughed at those fools. But now, nobody was laughing anymore.

Outside.
Instantly, over thirty tunnels collapsed.
The expression of the Invincibles changed yet again.
Damn it!
Not this again!
Numerous gazes landed on Divine King Yang Yu. He was still recovering from his previous exhaustion. When he felt the gazes, he frowned and said, "My son must have reached the first level. He is probably fighting the culprit. This might be a result of the major battle. Or perhaps that person is starting to kill again."
Someone else said, "Just what is happening on the first level? Can anyone contact a descendant on the first level? Is there anyone here with a surviving descendant on the first level?"
The Invincibles started looking at each other. Before long, an immortal king said, "Someone from my line was on the first level, but I'm not sure if he's still there..."
"Try contacting him! We can compensate you for it!"
With a frown, the immortal king sank into thought. After a short moment, he nodded, "I'll ask. This time, there were even some humans among the dead. This..."
It no longer felt like the human race was the culprit. Su Yu had not bothered to warn the humans before exploring the Ear Sea. As far as he was concerned, he was already doing enough by sparing any human he encountered. He was not obligated to notify them one by one. In any case, nobody would take him seriously even if he were to warn them. It would be pointless.
Everyone was prepared to die when entering the Luminous Domain Mansion. Such a warning might be taken the wrong way. They might even assume that he was trying to lure them away to steal their treasures.
The immortal king who had volunteered to contact his descendant had only done so out of impatience. After all, he had lost several people on the first level so far. Before long, he sat down cross-legged and activated his River of Time.

At the same time.
An immortal was busy fleeing with a group of immortals on the first level. Suddenly, his sea of willpower trembled while his bloodline burned. He was overjoyed. But at the same time, sorrow enveloped him as he saw the immortals behind him dying to the waves one after another.
After a long time, he finally escaped the waves and found the time to focus on his sea of willpower.
A silhouette appeared in his sea of willpower. With an anxious tone, the silhouette asked, "What happened?"
He had maintained this connection for quite some time. He was near his limit.
"Ancestor...big changes have occurred in the Human Face World. The Ear Sea is raging and the world is shaking. Many...many died..."
"Ear Sea?"
So this was a natural disaster? Right at that moment, the immortal king reached his limit and ended the connection.

Outside, the immortal king coughed a mouthful of blood as his River of Time snapped. On his pale face, an odd expression could be seen. When he looked around, he said, "Nobody is...slaughtering everyone...it's...a major change with the Human Face World itself. The Ear Sea is raging, killing numerous treasure seekers with its waves..."
"What?"
"Impossible!"
"Why have the humans suffered such few casualties, then?"
All the Invincibles found that unbelievable. It was the Luminous Domain Mansion? It wasn't the human race? They had all confidently blamed the humans for this. But they were all wrong?
Numerous gazes landed on Dao King. That was the person who had confidently blamed Su Yu for the disaster. But Su Yu was still in his city. More importantly, this wasn't even the work of the humans. This was a natural disaster. Was the Luminous Domain Mansion damaged?

At the same time.
Heavenly Hunt Pavilion.
An Invincible exclaimed in surprise, "I thought it was a human expert, but all of us were wrong."
"A major change of the Luminous Domain Mansion itself?"
"It has remained the same for so many years. These people...are truly unlucky to enter the mansion when it finally decides to change."
"Sigh. I lost a few good seedlings to this disaster as well."
The Invincibles started lamenting among themselves.
Meanwhile, in an unseen corner of the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion, a scholar was muttering to himself, "A massive change at the Ear Sea? Ear Sea...that was not a sea in the past...was it...Su Yu? Did someone...unblock the ear passage?"
For some reason, the scholar couldn't shake off the feeling that this was related to Su Yu. Nevertheless, there was no need for him to share his suspicion with anyone. The Ear Sea did not exist during the ancient past. Perhaps the ear passage had finally been unblocked, resulting in such a reaction.
"Was it Su Yu? If it was him, what secret did he discover there?"
Human Face World...first level.
In the past, that was the level the subordinates of the Human Emperor resided on. Very few members of the myriad races would go there. Thus, the scholar was quite unfamiliar with that level as well. He only knew that there were a lot of secrets there. One could say that the entire Luminous Domain Mansion was filled with secrets.
"Is this a sign that a new Emperor will emerge soon?"
He was more and more certain of that. First, the White Jade Gate moved. Then, something major happened in the Human Face World. Even the transference process hadn't been as smooth as in the past. All this was pointing toward the fact that someone extremely special was among the people who had entered the mansion this time.
