Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 831: On The Road (1)

Heart Calming City, Great Jin.

Inside Master Chen's manor, Su Yu and the other weaponsmiths were conversing amicably. While sharing his weaponsmithing experience, Su Yu also focused on the benefits of having stronger willpower.

After entering the third tier, his willpower had strengthened significantly. Several of his characters were also on the verge of advancement. But since there were too many outsiders present, he had not allowed his characters to break through. That might result in an exposure of his identity.

He was a fresh Cloudbreach, but his willpower was actually not weaker than middle-stage Cloudbreaches. He could have skipped far more levels if he had tempered his willpower more when he was a Skysoar.

Meanwhile, due to his constant tempering at the Mental Tempering Stage, he was able to reach the level of late-stage Skysoars right after breaking through.

With 180 apertures, there was no need for him to open more apertures. Thus, his growth in the Cloudbreach Realm would be significantly faster. He only needed to focus on strengthening his willpower.

At the next stage, he also needed to start worrying about the fusion of apertures for the Mountainsea Realm. It would be a good idea to form all the characters he needed before then. After all, the disassembly method was still ineffective for Mountainseas. If he entered the Mountainsea Realm before forming ninety-nine characters, his character technique would be ruined.

Up until now, he had only formed twenty-three characters. He was still quite far away from ninety-nine characters. He would have to stay in the Cloudbreach Realm until he achieved that goal if the disassembly method did not change. But he didn't mind that. Sure, his growth in the Cloudbreach Realm would be fast, but he could always learn from Chen Yong.

He would leave one final aperture unfused for each stage of the Mountainsea Realm and remain as a Cloudbreach. Since he had yet to produce an aperture fusion art, fusing apertures wouldn't be too easy either.

He only lacked seventy-six characters. He wasn't too desperate. If he had to, he could always focus on his physical cultivation for more strength. He had just completed his eleventh body forging. He still had a lot of room for growth before completing seventy-two body forgings.

While talking and laughing with the weaponsmiths, Su Yu suddenly thought about Zhang He. He did not know if Zhang He was a good or a bad man. But he didn't care about that. He did not regret killing Zhang He's son. But it was still better for him to keep Zhang He confused for now to avoid any unnecessary trouble.

As for the guilt he might feel getting the father of someone he killed escort him, well, guilt was something he would only feel after doing something wrong. Since he had done nothing wrong, he naturally wouldn't feel any guilt.

He was someone of a considerable status. And with Zhang He agreeing to escort him to the Allheaven Battlefield in front of so many people, Zhang He wouldn't do anything rash unless he was tired of living.

Su Yu had also been mentioning Cheng Mo repeatedly to serve as deterrence in case Zhang He wanted to do anything stupid. He was reminding Zhang He that Cheng Mo might appear at any time. It would be wise to not think of doing anything stupid. He thought of numerous things while conversing with the weaponsmiths.

Before they knew it, the sun started to rise.

Seeing that the sky was gradually turning bright, Master Chen reluctantly said, "Brother Cui, I guess this is farewell. You need to start your journey and you shouldn't let us delay you."

Master Chen laughed and said, "Director Chen would probably come after you right after hearing about what you did. We all believe that this is good for you, but you are indeed still very young. You're still unwilling to settle down for now. We understand that, so we won't be holding you back."

One would benefit greatly from establishing a relationship with a ninth-stage Sunmoon. As long as one wasn't a heaven weaponsmith, one's status would still be below that of a ninth-stage Sunmoon.

For example, Zhao Tianbing enjoyed a high status. But his status was not higher than a ninth-stage Sunmoon. That would only change upon advancement into the heaven grade.

Su Yu laughed, "In that case, I won't hesitate anymore. Farewell, everyone."

The weaponsmiths walked out the door with him. Outside, Zhang He was already waiting. A massive eagle was behind him.

When he saw Su Yu, he wasted no time and handed a bundle over with a merit card. He said, "Master Cui, this is my compensation for my mistake yesterday. Take a look. If you think it's not enough..."

Su Yu placed both items into his storage ring without even checking. He said, "It's fine. I only care about the intent, not the actual items. There is no need to be too calculative about the items themselves."

He then hopped onto the back of the eagle. The eagle was a ninth-stage Skysoar, but it appeared extremely docile.

From the back of the eagle, Su Yu cupped his hands at the weaponsmiths and said, "Everyone, I will already be an earth weaponsmith the next time we meet. At that time, I hope to see some of you as earth weaponsmiths as well. Together, we will strengthen and grow the weaponsmithing faction."

"Have a pleasant journey." They all cupped their hands at him.

Su Yu said, "That's it, then. General Zhang, let's set off."

He lightly kicked the eagle and it soared into the sky rapidly before vanishing into the distance. Zhang He also vanished with a flicker. As a Sunmoon, he was much faster than the eagle. Sure, the eagle was comparable to some Cloudbreaches in speed, but that was still too slow for him.

In truth, he wanted to just carry Cui Lang to move faster, but he ultimately decided against that. After all, that was too disrespectful. He wouldn't do that unless it was Cui Lang's request. The weaponsmiths were left with complicated emotions.

"Brother Cui is going to enter the earth grade soon. I wonder if he will be able to forge a heaven weapon one day."

"He will become an earth weaponsmith in his thirties. But even if his cultivation continues to be smooth, he will still take at least a hundred years to reach the heaven grade. It won't be so easy."

"Yeah. That is too difficult. But there is still a lot of hope for him. Speaking of, Brother Cui had improved significantly after that forging session with Zhao Li. Tsk, tsk. The Zhao Family's weaponsmithing style is truly incredible. Cui Lang can be considered half a student of his. If we include Principal Zhao as well, there is no doubt that the fourth principal's line is filled with outstanding geniuses."

If the fourth principal had not died, he could have become the second heaven weaponsmith of humanity. What a pity.

They couldn't help but think of the six principals of Great Xia. Apart from Wan Tiansheng, the previous five principals were all outstanding heroes who had contributed greatly to humanity in their respective fields.

As for Wan Tiansheng, he seemed to have lived a calm and tranquil life for decades. He was so silent that one almost wondered if he really was the sixth principal.

At the same time.

Up in the sky, the eagle was moving rapidly. Su Yu looked at the scenery below him and couldn't help but agree that it was a lot more comfortable to travel on flying mounts. Both the suanni and mountaindrill bull were not considered flying mounts. The fire crow could be considered one, but that fellow was too weak so he was left with Chen Yong when Su Yu left.

The fire crow had most likely returned to Hong Tan's side since Chen Yong had left as well. Perhaps he had even returned to the same cage he stayed in previously. Su Yu wondered if that fellow had starved to death or something.

Beside the eagle, Zhang He was walking on thin air like he was taking a stroll at a park.

While moving alongside the eagle, he said, "We'll enter Great Zhou after leaving Great Jin. And after leaving Great Zhou, we'll reach Allheaven Prefecture. If we're fast enough, we can reach our destination in two days."

Su Yu nodded, "I know. I went to the Allheaven Prefecture and Allheaven Battlefield before. What a pity. I wanted to take a look at some divine and devil beauties, but I never got the opportunity. I was still too weak back then. I didn't have the courage to go anywhere near the frontlines, so I didn't get the chance to see any divines or devils. General Zhang, are there any interesting rumors in the Allheaven Battlefield recently?"

"Interesting rumors?"

Zhang He cursed inwardly. That was a battlefield. What was so interesting about that place?

But he still answered properly, "No. But there are signs that a big war is going to erupt. The various races are making some moves. The experts have yet to do anything, but those from the younger generation have been in a lot of battles. As a result, a lot of young geniuses managed to make a name for themselves.

"The latest generation is filled with geniuses and freaks. Some people are saying that this is a sign of a new era. A young genius from the first divine race has emerged recently. With 36 body forgings, 144 acupoints, and three source qi transformations, he was able to reach perfection in every stage of cultivation. He cultivates top-tier arts, and as a third-stage Cloudbreach, he has the strength of over 40,000 acupoints. Not long ago, he killed a Mountainsea alone.

"A fourth-stage Cloudbreach cultural researcher has also emerged from the original devil race. With 144 apertures, he has incredible combat strength and numerous powerful devilish techniques. Not long ago, he killed a Mountainsea with one move.

"As for the human race, Qin Fang of Great Qin, Huang Teng of Great Xia, and Tang Yue of Great Tang have also established their fame from their battles. They have all killed Mountainsea opponents as well, spreading their names far and wide.

"These few years have been the golden age for these young geniuses. The super experts have been holding back while these young geniuses have been showcasing their strength. This era is almost comparable to the era when Ye Batian was active."

Su Yu said, "Wow. Things are so lively there. How about Great Ming? Has any brother from Great Ming made a name for himself as well?"
