Tribulation of Myriad Races-Chapter 1393: The Charm Of A Top Student (3)

After a slight hesitation, the old turtle said, "When a new reign begins, it is quite unlikely for past mistakes to be punished. Also...Su Yu might not be the successor of the Time Sage. You worry too much, Heavenly Overseer Marquis. Don't forget that he is also the mayor of multiple holy cities. You don't have my blessings to kill him."

"I am aware of that."

The pavilion master sighed, "I don't intend to do that. I'm merely troubled...so be it. It has been years since we last met. Let's not talk about such things. Cheers, Brother Grand Dream."

The old turtle raised his cup. Then, the two drained their tea.

The pavilion master did not stay for long. After finishing the tea, the golden page floated into the sky, split space apart, and vanished.

The old turtle shook his head with a smile. Just then, his gaze landed on the two cups with a tiny bit of unfinished tea. He casually tossed them outside the city. Instantly, countless great daos manifested in the eyes of the little oceanic beast outside. She was overjoyed.

Once again, she bowed and kowtowed to the city. Then, she drained the two cups. Instantly, her body finished more forgings. Only when she was at her eighteenth forging did she finish digesting the tea.

The two cups were merely the casual creation of a Pseudo Emperor. However, they were as solid as earth weapons. Furthermore, some dao remnants of two Pseudo Emperors were left in them. Thus, a single look at the two cups was enough to dazzle the little oceanic beast. In her mind, numerous cultivation methods manifested.

What was a fortuitous encounter? Often, it was merely the result of a coincidence.

The old turtle smiled and returned to the stone statue. He looked up at the sky and sighed. Was Heavenly Overseer Marquis suspecting that Su Yu might be in the Luminous Domain Mansion? Was the book Su Yu forged the reason for the marquis to suspect a relationship between Su Yu and the Time Sage?

What was the Heavenly Overseer Marquis thinking?

Would he be ignoring this or would he be interfering?

Would he be a friend or an enemy?

The Heavenly Hunt Index was damaged, resulting in the Heavenly Overseer Marquis' inability to further monitor the Myriad Realms. Was he planning to make the Heavenly Hunt Index his?

But the index was not his.

Numerous thoughts emerged in the old turtle's mind. After a while, he laughed again. Why was he thinking about all this? Who could be sure that this was really related to Su Yu?

Nobody could be sure.

Why would such a thought emerge in his mind? Why would the Heavenly Overseer Marquis think so as well? That was but a Cloudbreach. How did a mere Cloudbreach cause the two of them to actually consider him the new Emperor? The old turtle thought that they must have gone mad for entertaining such a thought.

***

While the two Daofuses were talking about Su Yu.

Su Yu had completely lost his interest in the treasures inside the mansion. Rather, he was fully engrossed in his discovery of the major secret. It wouldn't be wrong to say that uncovering secrets was what cultural researchers loved most. Every discovery could bring a cultural researcher boundless joy.

For many, this was merely a process of entering the mansion. While everyone else was still waiting, Su Yu had discovered many secrets of the mansion. At the same time, he was also busy figuring out if he could control the eight remaining subsidiary tunnels.

He wanted to know the identities of the people in these tunnels. If any of them were an enemy, he wouldn't mind getting rid of them now. As for those who weren't his enemies, he wanted to transfer all of them near him.

"Since the central acupoint controls the nine tunnels, I only need to figure out the identity of one of them to know who the rest are."

He still remembered the spots taken by those using the safe slots. If his guesses were right, all nine tunnels under his tunnel's control should be the tunnels from the same column. If he knew the identity of any of them, he would be able to determine who the rest were through his memories.

He called this the special power of a top student.

As a top student, having a good memory was a must. Most of the 3,260 token holders were already waiting in front of their respective entrances before Su Yu entered the special entrance. Thus, he could easily deduce who they were if he could find out about one of them.

He sank into thought. He wasn't in that much of a rush to know their exact identities. More importantly, he needed to know their strength. What if one of them were an Invincible? It would be awkward if he somehow arranged for an Invincible to arrive at the same place as him.

He tried numerous methods to exert control over the eight dots of light. Since he was in the central acupoint, there must be a way to control them. He noted that the eight dots of light shone at different levels of intensity.

After some hesitation, he picked a dot of light with medium intensity of shine and reached out with his zhongtan acupoint. The dot of light trembled. An indistinct cry sounded in his ears. Alarm and trepidation could be heard from the cry. The person inside must be panicking from the sudden change.

"Hmm?"

Su Yu blanked out slightly. That voice was...familiar.

"An immortal?"

He muttered doubtfully. That was probably an immortal. It sounded familiar. Right, Yun Sheng! Suddenly, Su Yu recalled that nobody. When he first entered the Sea of Stars, he encountered several immortals. One of them was an incomparably arrogant young master called Yun Sheng.

They originated from the Dao Region of Immortal King Tian Xuan, trained in the Heavenly Jade Monastery. This so-called Yun Sheng was a third-stage Cloudbreach back then. He might have grown by now. Perhaps he was already at the fourth or fifth stage. Su Yu wasn't too concerned about him.

"Yun Sheng...an immortal. In that case, the nine linked tunnels are all transferring immortals."

Realization dawned on him. The immortals had monopolized the northern entrances. These people were all immortals. Even if they weren't, they would be the members of races subordinate to the immortals.

"Yun Sheng...hmm..."

Su Yu noted that there were only two dots of light above Yun Sheng's dot of light. He remembered that there should be three immortals above Yun Sheng.

"Oh, the topmost immortal is a Sunmoon...wait, is he dead?"

Su Yu was slightly stunned. He seemed to recall that the Sunmoon was a subordinate of Dao King. Wow. What a coincidence. No way, right? Did he kill a subordinate of Dao King coincidentally?

"In that case, there's a Sunmoon, a Mountainsea, five Cloudbreaches, and a Skysoar left...The Sunmoon is probably at the third stage. There are probably two more subordinates of Dao King in there!"

This was understandable. The subordinates of Dao King would naturally try to stick together. The rest of them were the subordinates of Immortal King Tian Xuan.

"I see now..."

Su Yu rubbed his chin. Should he kill them? Wasn't this a tad bit too cruel? Must he kill them before they were even in the mansion? Wow. He was such a bad guy.

"Whatever. I'll transfer them near me. I can kill them all and collect their corpses. I love immortal corpses."

Hehehe.

Su Yu started thinking of a way to transfer all of them near him. Supposedly, they would all reach different locations in the mansion due to their difference in strength and age. But with the central acupoint under Su Yu's control, he was sure he could do it.

Sure enough, he soon discovered something new.

Ancient city medallion.

Yes. He was using the ancient city medallion. It was a random idea, and surprisingly, it worked. The eight dots of light started approaching him.

Meanwhile, the eight individuals inside the tunnels felt like their world was spinning. Or to be precise, the doors they were in were spinning rapidly.

Abruptly, Su Yu saw a flicker of light ahead of him. The transference was about to end.

Everyone else noticed the same. They were all overjoyed.

Su Yu felt his door going through a barrier of sorts as the door left the dark tunnel and plunged into a bright world.

Beside Su Yu, eight dazed individuals appeared. Almost immediately, they noticed each other. They were shocked, astonished, and horrified. Why...were they together?

Impossible!

There was even a Sunmoon among them. The old Sunmoon was not supposed to reach the same place as the Skysoar unless the Skysoar was also incredibly old.

However, all the immortal Skysoars sent into the mansion were young geniuses.

Why was this happening? The sole Sunmoon in the group was greatly alarmed. Also, who was the wolf beside him?

Just as the thought crossed his mind, the wolf said, "Hello. Welcome to my book."

Whoosh!

One beast after another emerged from the book and grabbed the third-stage Sunmoon. Before the Sunmoon could react, he was dragged into the book. A moon fell from the sky. The others were alarmed. What happened?

Then, the beasts from the book started grabbing them as well. When the beasts reached one of them, Su Yu blanked out and stopped the beasts. The rest were dragged into the book, leaving the sole survivor with him. A mask shattered, revealing the face of the sole survivor. On that face was an expression of sheer terror.

This was too terrifying.

"A human?"

Su Yu was surprised. Why was a human here? Weren't they all immortals?

"I...yes...human...Yellow Nine..."

The young woman was pale. Holy shit! What happened?

Where was she? Who was she? What did she encounter? A wolf had instantly killed a third-stage Sunmoon and six other immortals. Did...she survive?

"Yellow Nine?"

Su Yu had an odd expression. Holy shit.

Yellow Nine!

This must be Hollow's handiwork. Did that fellow teleport this into the tunnel at the last moment? How impressive. Surprisingly, Yellow Nine was really a human. In that case, was she really someone from the Liu Family?

Su Yu had an odd feeling when he recalled Hollow's previous words.

Was this real?

Su Yu sank into thought.

***

Outside, everyone was shocked.

Instantly, seven northern tunnels had collapsed. The tunnel stolen by Yellow Nine was the sole surviving tunnel.

Hollow's tunnel was still fine as well.

The immortals were stunned.

Dao King was having a meltdown.

"Ahhh! Ahhhhh!"

He roared madly. Screw him! Screw his ancestors!

Yet another one of his men had died.

Out of the thirteen people he sent, two had lost their slots while two had died right after entering the mansion. Only nine were left. Dao King was losing his mind. In short, only one of the additional slots he bought was left.

He roared furiously.

Nearby, Immortal King Tian Xuan was on the verge of losing his mind as well. Nearly all his people had died.

Ahhhhhh!

He wanted to roar as well, but he stopped when his gaze landed on Dao King. That guy was suffering even more than him. It was inevitable for one to feel better when seeing someone with a worse fate. So be it. At the very least, he still had his tri-life bodies. He was in a much better condition than Dao King. He could afford to try again after ten years.

With that in mind, he decided to let Dao King cry alone.
