Tribulation of Myriad Races-Chapter 1408: Who Is Tai Shan? (3)

While everyone was talking about what was happening in surprise, Su Yu and the others were being assaulted by an intense dizzy spell. Su Yu had to grab tightly onto a random protrusion on the wall until his palm bled to prevent himself from being blown away by the tremors. After some time, he exhaled in relief. It was finally over.

From the outside, one would be able to see that the sea was gone. All the seawater had been shaken off. The boundless sea had transformed into countless waves, smashing countless people to their deaths.

At the bottom of the now-empty sea, numerous pearls could be seen. They were light yellow in color. These were the so-called solidwater pearls, the so-called precious treasures of Xia Huyou. They had been stuck there for countless years.

Slowly, Xia Huyou and the others recovered. When they looked outside again, they were stunned. They were hanging right in front of a cave in the middle of a towering cliff.

When they looked down, they...swallowed.

Countless solidwater pearls.

A terrifying number of solidwater pearls.

Some of them were so big they might as well be mountains. Xia Huyou mumbled, "Impossible! Solidwater pearls of such size should not exist. This is fake. The one I ate when I was a kid was only as big as a broadbean..."

Huang Teng was blanking out as well. He muttered in disbelief, "I ate a few before as well...even the biggest was the size of a bun..."

He was completely stunned. So a solidwater pearl could grow to the size of a mountain?

Even Yellow Nine, who had experienced and eaten all sorts of treasures, was stunned. "I...I saw one the size of a millstone in the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion before..." She continued staring at the massive solidwater pearls below her blankly.

She didn't know what to say. Just one of these giant solidwater pearls would be enough to produce tens of thousands of Skysoars or even Cloudbreaches. These pearls could be used for both body forging and source qi transformation.

In fact, some could even be used as carrier treasures. Only the bigger solidwater pearls were left behind. The smaller ones had all been washed away by the waves when the sea was rampaging earlier. However, there were still countless desk-sized solidwater pearls left behind.

Even Su Yu was quite surprised. With a smile, he said, "Not bad at all. The biggest piece is mine. You guys can gather the rest if you want."

Instantly, Xia Huyou shot down and started gathering the solidwater pearls madly.

He was losing his mind. He did not want to leave anymore. Just these pearls would be enough to help Great Xia recover from all its recent losses. He didn't even care about the largest piece. He knew it wouldn't be his.

Just the smaller pieces would be an unimaginable sum of wealth. Huang Teng was doing the same. Yellow Nine was tempted as well, but soon, she snorted and gave up on it. Unlike the two, she was a prisoner here. No matter how many she gathered, Su Yu could easily take them all from her.

Su Yu was in no rush. Only a day had passed. What was the rush? He could take his time. With a wave of his hand, his book drifted downward before manifesting more than ten Sunmoon beasts. Together, the beasts attempted to lift the largest piece of solidwater pearl only to fail. Thus, even more Sunmoon beasts appeared. Finally, the pearl was lifted. With a rumble, it was stored in the book.

Noticing Su Yu waiting patiently while the other two were gathering the solidwater pearls, Yellow Nine said, "That solidwater pearl alone is enough to purchase two carrier treasures."

"That's too cheap." Su Yu said, "I can consider selling it for a minimum price of three carrier treasures. After all, something like this will require tens of thousands of years to form."

Including the two nasal hairs, his total gains from the mansion had reached around five carrier treasures in value. And that was excluding the numerous smaller nasal hairs that he had gathered as well.

It had only been slightly over a day since he entered the mansion. And these weren't even the main benefits he had gained from the mansion. Originally, he had eight carrier treasures. Two had been used to forge the Mark of Civilization. Thus, his harvests here were enough to double the number of carrier treasures he had.

While countless people were going crazy for even one carrier treasure, Su Yu had been freely wasting his carrier treasures. Including those he had used previously, he had collected more than ten of them thus far.

His reply left Yellow Nine speechless, so she decided to stop talking. Before long, Xia Huyou and Huang Teng returned. They had not picked the place clean. There were simply too many pearls around for them to clean.

Aware that Su Yu had something else to do, Xia Huyou said, "You don't have to wait here. Just go and do what you need to do. We will stay here for some time to clean this place. It's too much of a waste to leave them behind."

Su Yu smiled, "It's fine. Yellow Nine can help with this. We can enter together. There are more benefits to be gained. There are probably more useless treasures inside that I'm uninterested in. You guys are free to collect the trash."

"..."

Yellow Nine was so furious she felt like coughing blood. Meanwhile, Xia Huyou laughed awkwardly and said, "There's no need for that...right?"

Su Yu laughed it off, "Don't worry about it. Just come with me. Great Xia has suffered a lot of losses recently so you can have these treasures. Honestly, most of these things are useless to me. I don't care about them."

Then, he turned and entered the passage. After exchanging a glance with each other, Xia Huyou and Huang Teng gave Yellow Nine an awkward laugh before following Su Yu. They couldn't resist the temptation.

Su Yu was too incredible. Even the leftover trash of someone so incredible would be enough to feed them well. No, his leftover trash would be enough to feed half of Great Xia well. Harvesting treasures from the Luminous Domain Mansion had never felt so easy.

While following behind Su Yu, Xia Huyou said, "Why does this place feel like its your home? Su Yu, are you sure you're unrelated to this mansion? After all, you're Yu (Domain) while this place is called the Luminous Domain (Yu)."

He couldn't help but suspect that.

Su Yu did not put much thought into that suspicion. He looked around and said, "This place is mine. Even if it's not mine now, it will be mine sooner or later. Human Face World...isn't it obvious? You guys have merely been oblivious to the proper way of utilizing this place. If you doubt me, you can cut your left ear off and toss it down later. Something interesting will happen."

What madness was this? The two were left speechless. As they traversed the passage behind Su Yu, they gathered even more treasures. Su Yu was too picky. He would only pick up the things that were useful to him personally or his weaponsmithing. Otherwise, he would ignore anything below the level of a heaven weapon.

Eventually, they reached the end of the passage. Suddenly, Xia Huyou and Huang Teng started coughing blood. Even Su Yu was feeling an intense pain as blood started flowing out of his left ear.

He wasted no time and cut his left ear off. Then, he tossed it atop the platform in front of him, allowing the unique rhythm coming from the platform to wash over his ear.

His action stunned both Xia Huyou and Huang Teng. The two were in great pain, feeling as though their brains were going to turn into mush soon. Desperate, they followed Su Yu's lead and cut their left ears off before tossing them onto the platform as well. Right after doing that, the intense pain receded.

Su Yu said, "Someone clueless might end up overstaying here and having their brain turned into mush by the sound waves. Not even a Sunmoon can survive this. Any non-human will also die upon setting foot here. This place is essentially a treasure trove for humans. The Luminous Domain Mansion belongs to the human race. Or to be specific, it belongs to a human. And that human will most likely be me."

"..."

Once again, the two were stunned speechless. Huang Teng asked, "Su Yu...did you figure all this out yourself or did you learn about this from some ancient records?"

"I figured everything out myself." He looked at Huang Teng and smiled, "Do you even need to read the ancient records to learn this? The clues are so obvious. Human Face World. The name itself is a major clue. Brow Mountain. Ear Sea. Double Dragon Gorge. Isn't it obvious? Why do you need to learn this from some ancient records? Just think."

Were these clues not obvious? How could they miss all these clues?

Xia Huyou said, "It's not that simple. Nobody will do something like cutting their ears off upon reaching this place."

This wasn't something a normal person would do. At most, they would try to resist the pain with their ears.

Xia Huyou couldn't resist asking, "Did you cut your nose off earlier?"

Su Yu nodded. He ignored Xia Huyou's gaze and continued immersing himself in the changes his ear was undergoing. He was focusing. Focusing on the sounds that he could not hear before this.

"Pain..."

"So much pain!"

The platform in front of them was seemingly complaining about pain. The look in Su Yu's eyes changed. What was going on?

What?

Pain?

In Su Yu's eyes, the Human Face World was merely a super tool forged in accordance to a human face. That was all. In that case, what was this voice?

"Pain..."

"So much pain!"

"Why...did you kill me? Why...I...did nothing wrong...why..."

The look in Su Yu's eyes changed repeatedly as he listened to the faint voice.

He hurriedly asked, "Is anyone hearing anything?"

"What?"

"Can you hear someone speaking?"

"No..."

They looked at him with astonishment. What was it this time? Su Yu frowned. He could hear someone speaking. To be precise, he could hear someone crying in pain. Damn it! What was this?

His heart thumped rapidly as a certain possibility emerged in his mind.

The builder of the Luminous Domain Mansion...had killed a supreme expert before forging it into the Human Face World.

Was that the case?

But why could he hear the voice when nobody else could?

A certain idea came to him. He acted on it, shutting one of his acupoints. Immediately, the voice faded away.

Su Yu's expression changed.

"Grand cycle acupoints!"

The victim was someone who had opened the grand cycle acupoints as well! Was that why he could hear the victim? Was that the case? When he reopened the acupoint and linked it with his other acupoints, the voice returned. It was intermittent, but there was no denying what he was hearing.

"Why...I wasn't wrong...Tai Shan...you killed me...I reject your reason..."

"..."

Tai Shan!

Who was Tai Shan? Was that the Human Emperor? Or was it someone else? Was the Human Emperor the builder of this mansion? Numerous questions emerged in Su Yu's mind. He was overwhelmed with shock. A supreme expert had been killed. A supreme human expert. His head had been forged into the first level of the mansion. This...was truly ruthless.

"This is real! This is a real human head! Tai Shan killed him! Was the victim a...Daofuse? Or beyond?"

That realization further shocked Su Yu. Was a Daofuse really so powerful? Even after dying, his head could be forged into a world? How terrifying.

The more Su Yu thought of it, the more terrified he became. The builder of this mansion was most definitely not a pushover. Was that a human? If the builder was a human, why did the builder kill a supreme human expert?

"It hurts..."

The cries of pain continued. Alarmed, Su Yu hurriedly shut one of his acupoints again. He had heard something terrifying while trying to forge his ear. He could feel the sound waves of that voice resounding within his head repeatedly.

He could feel that if he kept listening to it, he might be driven to madness. In fact, he was starting to pale. That voice was merely a remnant of an ancient grudge, yet it was enough to give his mind such pressure.

"Tai Shan..." freewebnøvel_com

When mentioning that name, the indignation and fury in the voice had greatly intensified.

Tai Shan!

This was the very first name from the ancient past Su Yu knew. It was no title. Rather, it was a name. Tai Shan.

Was that the Time Sage? Was that the master of the Culture Tomb? Was that the Human Emperor?

These were the people from the ancient past Su Yu was most interested in. And all three of them were most likely humans. Time Sage. Human Emperor. Master of Culture Tomb. Was Tai Shan one of them?
