Tribulation of Myriad Races-Chapter 1395: First Level, Human Face World (2)
Chapter 1395: First Level, Human Face World (2)
Su Yu was located halfway up one of the mountains in the area. The terrain was rather flat. The doors that had carried them all here had vanished. Noticing that, Su Yu frowned. Did they go elsewhere?
Where were they?
He looked at the sullen Yellow Nine and said, "Do you know about the way to leave the mansion? Do we need to gather somewhere before leaving?"
With the same sullen tone, Yellow Nine said, "No. When it's time to leave, a tunnel will appear above you. The number of tunnels appearing will correspond to the number of survivors. You only need to step into the tunnel to leave."
Su Yu nodded. Yellow Nine was someone from the Yellow Department and First Yellow was an elder there. It was normal for them to know more than him.
"Is Hollow in here as well?"
"Yeah."
"Where's my Culture Tomb?"
Yellow Nine answered helplessly, "The elder is carrying it on him. You can exchange me for the Culture Tomb if we do encounter him."
Su Yu ignored her. What was the point of that? Was he dumb? Hollow should keep the fake tomb. Old Wan was pretty good at counterfeiting as well. Even now, Hollow was still unaware that he had a fake tomb.
Ignoring Yellow Nine, Su Yu soared into the sky. His eyes shone as he started scanning the area.
He was located on a massive mountain range.
The mountains here were much larger than what one could find in the Human Realm. He also had a sensation that even the space here was sturdier than the space within the Human Realm. Additionally, everything here felt ancient.
And...there might be native life forms in there. If that were the case, these would be the life forms that had survived since the ancient past.
The environment here was suitable for inhabitation and cultivation. But according to the records, when the mansion shut itself off from the outside world, all life within it would be extinguished.
However, Su Yu clearly remembered hearing the roars of wild animals in the area earlier. That did not make sense.
He sank into thought. After a while, he landed and asked, "Are there any records in the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion talking about the ancient life forms living here?"
Yellow Nine replied, "In the past, yes. However, there weren't a lot of them. The number of living beings in the mansion has been dropping steadily. Each time the mansion shuts down, all source qi in the mansion will recede. Not many can survive such an environment. Not even the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion is aware if these living beings are still around nowadays. A long time has passed since the last encounter with a native life form."
Su Yu nodded, "Which level is this?"
Yellow Nine looked around and answered, "The first level. You can tell from the quality of the ambient source qi. The quality will increase the higher the level is. The quality here is low despite the density. It is only suitable for the cultivation of Skysoars."
Su Yu nodded. That made sense. Yellow Nine was surprisingly knowledgeable. This was a convenient companion to have. Of course, he wouldn't put all his trust in her.
He wouldn’t trust her blindly just because she was a member of the Liu Family. Only an idiot would do so. In fact, Su Yu wouldn't trust even those he was familiar with before their relationship reached a certain level.
"First level..."
Yellow Nine hurriedly offered, "There are a lot of treasures on the first level as well. If you're lucky, you can even find treasures as valuable as dragonblood fruit trees. After all, most of the treasures found in the vicinity of the mansion were actually the treasures that had leaked out of the first level."
"Treasures?"
Su Yu laughed. So what? He did not care about the so-called treasures.
Ignoring Yellow Nine, Su Yu opened the Mark of Civilization in his sea of willpower. After consuming eight immortals, the immortal page was a lot more detailed than before.
Each immortal the page consumed would contribute to the completion of this page. Su Yu could feel that the crimson projection of the immortal page had reached the level of a second-stage Sunmoon. When forging this page, he had only embedded a drop of first-stage Sunmoon immortal blood into it.
"This is the result after only eight immortals. What if I can consume more...or even the Immortal Realm itself..."
As that thought emerged in Su Yu's mind, he appeared perfectly calm. Not a tiny bit of killing intent leaked out of him. But for some reason, Yellow Nine's hair stood on end. What was that lunatic thinking this time?
Just as that thought crossed her mind, she wailed, "I did nothing! Can't I be curious? If I can't even ask questions, you might as well kill me and get it over with!"
She couldn't take it anymore.
She had done nothing except call Su Yu a lunatic in her mind. Even that was enough to provoke the little furball to end the mission early. Fortunately, she had shouted just as the furball was about to take a bite.
Once again, the little furball emerged from her head and looked at Su Yu with a wronged expression, "Can I eat or not? She called you a lunatic! I heard her! Why don't we eat her and finish the job?"
This was so annoying!
Su Yu was rendered speechless. He looked at the little furball and laughed, "Let her be. As long as she says nothing with her mouth or does nothing physically, don't eat her. Stop scaring her. It's a bad habit. No matter what, Yellow Nine used to be my colleague. We have to show her some leniency."
"Fine." The little furball replied sullenly, "I'll keep waiting for a chance to eat her."
Su Yu said, "Exactly. Also, if possible, you don't need to digest her. She was raised by Hollow. They might be close. Hollow was the one who had stolen Tiangu's coffin lid. I believe Tiangu's coffin lid is a treasure. Maybe we can try to trade her for the coffin lid."
"Coffin lid?"
The little furball's eyes widened in realization. Understood! That made a lot of sense!
Once again, he dove into Yellow Nine's head. Yellow Nine wailed with despair, "No matter what, I'm from the Liu Family!"
"That is unverified."
Su Yu replied, "Even if that's the case, well, I'm not. I only acknowledge my teacher, not you. For me, my teacher and the Liu Family are two different entities. You understand what I mean."
Yellow Nine replied helplessly, "I never intended to return. But you must promise to release me."
What was this? It wasn't like she wanted to return and get dragged into all that mess. How annoying.
Su Yu ignored her and started flying away. Yellow Nine hurriedly followed. She was afraid that the lazy little furball would take the chance to eat her right after Su Yu was gone and end the job early.
Just as that thought crossed her mind, she felt a tiny pain on one of her characters. When she took a look, she nearly coughed blood from anger. The little furball had taken a tiny bite out of her character.
Sensing Yellow Nine's gaze, the little furball said with a pitiful tone, "You scolded me! I only bit you because I was angry!"
Yellow Nine was losing her mind. With that fellow in her sea of willpower, any obvious thought of hers would be easily sensed by him. She was tired of this. Perhaps dying would feel better than this.
"Oh? You wanna die? Tell Yummy! Tell him and I'll fulfill your wish!"
Ahhhhhh!
This was driving her crazy.
This fellow looked adorable, but he was a fiend. He would not let go of any chance to eat her.
"You're so smart. Your sea of willpower is smelly. I can't even get a good sleep here. After eating you, I can go back and get a good sleep. When will you start thinking of your plan to murder Yummy? Go ahead! I support you!"
The little furball started jumping atop her character as he spoke in excitement, "Why don't you shout something evil? If you shout something bad, I can eat you without worrying that Yummy will scold me!"
Yellow Nine roared inwardly, "Dream on! That won't happen! You don't like it here? Well, enjoy staying here! You better persuade Su Yu to let me go or this will be your forever home! I'm from the Liu Family! He won't kill me for real unless I do something I shouldn't!"
Hearing that, the little furball grew dispirited again. But that only lasted for a short moment as he said expectantly, "It's fine. You're so weak. After leaving this place, he won't care about you anymore. That will be the time for me to leave!"
Too weak?
Screw him! Screw his entire family!
"You're scolding my dada!"
"..."
Yellow Nine hurriedly said in panic, "Not at all. That's a misunderstanding. I didn't mean it like that."
Nope.
Not messing with that.
That was a Pseudo Emperor.

Su Yu was flying ahead of them, barely sparing the two any attention.
As he flew, he focused on the source qi in the air, attempting to detect the origin. Noting that he was flying around randomly instead of looking for treasures, Yellow Nine said, "There are a lot of treasures on the first level. Even if you're not interested, you should be trying to ascend instead. Even more treasures can be found beyond the third level. The lowest three levels have been explored extensively over the years, but that's not the case for the higher levels."
Su Yu ignored her and continued following the trail of source qi he found. A short while later, he discovered an area where source qi converged. Without any hesitation, he started flying toward that area.
Yellow Nine merely followed in confusion. What was this guy doing? There was nothing good here. The place had been explored too many times before. With a new batch of explorers coming in every ten years, the natural treasures would not have the chance to accumulate.
Sure, it wasn't like the first level was completely devoid of treasure. No matter what, each level was akin to an independent world. There would be some treasures left in some forgotten corner.
In fact, these overlooked treasures were what those from the minor races were mainly aiming for. However, Su Yu was clearly not looking for these overlooked treasures.
Su Yu continued following the flow of source qi. Gradually, the mountain range below him reduced in size. This signified that he was about to leave the mountain range entirely.
Suddenly, his eyes flickered as he asked, "Where is the entrance to the second level?"
Yellow Nine looked around and said, "This mountain range is known as the Brow Mountain by the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion." freёnovelkiss-com
She pointed at the mountain range below them and said, "If you keep going ahead, you will encounter a large mountain range. That mountain range is also known as the Brow Mountain. The two mountain ranges are quite unique as they are shaped like eyebrows. In truth, the entire first level resembles the face of a human. Thus, the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion calls this place the Human Face World internally. You can find the entrance at the end of this level..."
