Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 646: Recruitment, Secret Meeting (3)

At this moment, Jin Sheng said, "I am certain that human cultural researchers can reach the Sunmoon Realm with only divine or devil characters. That was how the past human experts had entered the Sunmoon Realm. But I also believe that human characters might have something to do with our inability to produce an Invincible cultural researcher."

Wen Zhong frowned, "But we have no way of verifying that theory. There are too few human character cultivators around. But your theory might be right. I don't recall hearing about anyone reaching the Sunmoon Realm through human characters."

Jin Sheng said, "Nobody will focus solely on human characters. Even someone using a human character as the main character will still form a few divine and devil characters. Thus, at a certain level of cultivation, that repelling force will start appearing. In truth, human characters are very domineering.

"According to some ancient rumors, the human race used to dominate the Myriad Realms during the ancient times. That rumor might be the answer to this phenomenon. Some people guessed that the human characters might have been sealed. But I disagreed.

"As a race, humanity has slowly grown from a weak race. This is actually in line with the characteristic of human characters that tend to be weak early on. The myriad races have their own unique characteristics. This applies to the human race as well. After forming enough human characters, these characters will definitely rival divine and devil characters in power."

Su Yu nodded, "Exactly. I agree. I've never once felt that my characters are weak. And the more characters I form, the stronger they are. Even advancement is starting to feel easier and easier for me. Human characters have not slowed me down at all."

Jin Sheng looked at Su Yu in surprise and asked, "You mean..."

"I specialize in human characters."

Su Yu explained, "Not many people know about this, but I only have human characters in my sea of willpower. I have ten characters in total. I can feel that these human characters are starting to receive a slight buff from the existence of other human characters. And I can feel that my characters are no weaker than divine and devil characters. Of course, I don't know if this is merely a special exception."

The others were greatly surprised. Forming only human characters. And he had formed ten of them. This kid was indeed a genius. And he was still so young.

Jin Sheng's interest was instantly piqued as he asked, "Junior Brother, can I join your research center? In truth, I dabble in a lot of topics. The aperture fusion art you're trying to produce is a topic I have touched upon before as well. I will definitely be of help to you."

Su Yu laughed, "I'll be honored to have you."

This old man was way too easy to seduce. Just look at how easily he had seduced this old man over with only a few words.

This was a productive meeting. A new line of thought had been introduced to him. One ought to know that having human characters rejecting divine and devil characters was very different than the other way around.

This was merely a guess of Jin Sheng, but Su Yu was pretty certain that this was the case. After all, all the foreign characters he had formed had been crushed. Thus, his best solution was to test this theory on a peak Mountainsea.

Perhaps he could solicit Zhu Tiandao's help for this. But he could only do that after pushing the little furball to the Mountainsea Realm. Without the little furball, a cultivator would suffer from a backlash after destroying one of their characters. And nobody would willingly suffer a backlash just to test a theory.

There were probably plenty of people stuck at the peak Mountainse Realm in Great Ming. If he could help these people reach the Sunmoon Realm, it would strengthen Great Ming as well. And since Great Ming was his backer, he would benefit from their growth as well.

It was time to grow the little furball. That little fellow had been spending all his time playing with those little rabbits and puppies in the research center instead of cultivating. It was time for that to change!

Su Yu continued his talk with the group of elderlies.

He was able to have an engaging conversation with the old man specializing in cultivation methods as he himself was pretty good at that. He was well-versed in topics concerning apertures and acupoints.

As for body-forging techniques, he did not specialize on that. But he was also greatly interested in that topic. Thus, he had a long talk with Cao Hui. At the end, he even received a gift from Cao Hui: the Ninestar Body Forging Technique.

With the new body forging technique in hand, a new idea sprouted in Su Yu's mind. He had learned a few body forging techniques from the pages he had activated on his book. He could thus utilize those body forging techniques with blood essence. Did this signify that he could forge his body in advance? But if he could forge his body so early, wouldn't he be the same as a proper Skysoar? That was worth trying.

Additionally, he had also obtained some nine transformation techniques from the Cloudbreach pages he had activated. One could say that he did not lack cultivation methods. He merely lacked a cultivation method that was optimal for him.

After about five or six hours, the meeting was finally over. At that point, Su Yu's mouth was already sore from all the talking.

It was done.

These elderlies were indeed knowledgeable individuals. They didn't actually admire Su Yu, but this meeting had still left them a good impression of him. In truth, while Su Yu was testing them, they were also testing Su Yu.

Ultimately, all four of them agreed to join the Source Soul Research Center. They didn't even ask for much from him. With that, the number of people in the Source Soul Research Center increased to seven.

Their first project was the complementary cultivation method, martial technique, body forging art, and nine transformation art for the Double Wu Acupoint Fusion Art, forming a complete set that could be disseminated within the Human Realm.

While Su Yu was focused on his research, his name continued spreading everywhere alongside his cultivation methods. In fact, his name was even starting to spread outside the Human Realm.

Myriad Race Cult.

Inside a certain high-level stronghold.

Numerous figures appeared inside an underground hall.

Very few of them had arrived in their real bodies. Most of them were merely attending the meeting through their projections. And all of them were hiding their true appearances.

"The Original Devil Sect master is here. Oh, even the First Divine Sect master is here as well..."

One of the people in the hall laughed and said, "Since both of you are already here, let's talk about Su Yu. All of you must have heard about the Source Soul Cultural Art and the Double Wu Acupoint Fusion Art. Both of them are treasures. Su Yu sure is gutsy to openly distribute both of them."

"Both the divines and devils have noticed him. Although this still isn't important enough to affect the Invincibles, it is only a matter of time before the various prefectures increase greatly in strength."

An illusory figure representing the First Divine Sect said, "Cut the crap. It doesn't matter if the human race grows or not. It has nothing to do with traitors like us. We only care about our own benefits—"

Lan Tian, the master of the Original Devil Sect said, "Benefits? No. I am doing this to save humanity. First Divine, you're too selfish."

Silence descended.

The First Divine Sect master ignored Lan Tian. That fellow was a madman. Everyone knew that. That madman had been claiming that he was the savior of humanity for a very long time.

Lan Tian did not seem to mind. He said, "I know what you guys are planning to do. But Su Yu can't be killed. I intend to capture him alive and recruit him into our camp. We need a talent like this. We require a talent like this."

"Original Devil Sect master, you should understand how difficult it is to capture someone in Great Ming."

"I know. But doesn't that make things more fun?" Lan Tian grinned, "I'll capture him alive. I won't agree to kill him. I am going to capture and persuade him to join us."

The other sect masters ignored him. Someone else said, "The divines and devils are offering a high price for his head. They are even willing to offer some sunmoon profound yellow liquid as the reward. Everyone, let's talk about this. Do we join hands and attack Great Ming before killing Su Yu? This isn't something a single Sunmoon can accomplish. We need to lure him out and distract Great Ming at the same time..."

Sunmoon profound yellow liquid. This liquid was the best treasure to strengthen the sole remaining acupoint after entering the Sunmoon Realm. It was a local specialty of the divines and devils, and it was extremely valuable. This was the most attractive treasure for a Sunmoon.

"Attacking Great Ming?"

Someone else said, "Great Ming is not weak. Zhu Tiandao alone is not someone we can easily provoke. This is too dangerous. I'm not interested in an attack. But if we're talking about an assassination, I don't mind giving it a try."

"Sure. Let's do an assassination, then. But I wish to remind everyone here to not do anything stupid. Don't bother sending anyone below the Mountainsea Realm. Don't forget what happened to Zhou Pingsheng. Su Yu did borrow the strength of ability blood essence to accomplish that feat, but he's by no means weak. Don't give him any chances to do anything. If we attack, make sure we'll succeed at a single attempt. Also, Su Yu is constantly protected by several beasts, including a seventh-stage Cloudbreach water elemental. Take note of that."

They didn't want to alert Su Yu and Great Ming before their assassination. They didn't care about the lives of their assassins, but things would only be harder for them after failing the first attempt. In fact, the first attempt would have the highest chance at succeeding.

"Don't bother issuing any missions targeting him. Just communicate internally with your own people. Only let those at the Mountainsea Realm know about this. Of course, we need to also increase the bounty on Su Yu slightly so that things don't seem too silent. That way, we won't arouse any suspicions."

As they talked, Lan Tian's projection dissipated, leaving these words behind, "You guys can carry on. I'm going to recruit him instead. Let's see who will succeed first."

The moment he left, someone cursed, "This fellow is a total madman. Does he really think that he's the messiah?"

Persuade his ass. Su Yu was being treated very well by Great Ming. Why would he defect to the Original Devil Sect? Not everyone was a madman like Lan Tian.

Most people joined the cult for their personal benefit. Lan Tian was the sole exception, someone who had joined the cult to save humanity. If he really wanted to save humanity, he was better off going to the front lines.

"Ignore him."

The First Divine Sect master said, "Everyone, feel free to do what you want. But try not to implicate anyone. And don't enter Great Ming en masse lest they are waiting with a trap. Think properly before doing anything."

With that said, his projection dissipated as well.

"That fellow sure is mysterious."

Very few people had seen the First Divine Sect master in person, making him one of the most mysterious sect masters in existence.
