Tribulation of Myriad Races

Source Soul Research Center.

At the end of year 350, Su Yu traveled to Great Ming and went through a lonely new year. The time had arrived for him to make yet another long journey. Great Xia would be his first stop.

There were too many things there he couldn't let go. He had gained a lot from the short time he spent in Great Ming, including fame and a backer. He was grateful to Great Ming. He also felt great gratitude toward the Zhu Family.

Thus, he did not intend to leave Great Ming for good. Nevertheless, he was still hit by a melancholy mood as his departure date drew near. After leaving Great Ming, he would have to start relying on himself for everything.

Anything might happen. Chaos was gradually descending upon the Human Realm. Nobody knew if he would return to Great Ming alive after leaving this time.

Four Seasons Pavilion.

Su Yu was hosting a dinner party.

Wen Zhong, Jin Sheng, and the others had all left their laboratories for this dinner. It was the 17th of May. For some reason, this scene felt very familiar to Wu Lan. Finally, she remembered why!

Back when Su Yu was about to leave Great Xia, he did the same! That day, people like Jiang Mu, Zhao Ming, Xia Huyou, Zheng Yunhui, and Wu Jia were present for the meal. Not long after that, the Starfall Mountain incident happened and news of Su Yu's defection to Great Ming reached Great Xia.

Su Yu ate and drank with a smile on his face. Raising his glass, he said, "Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, I have yet to recover from my injuries. Recently, I've gained some new understanding of the source soul acupoint. Thus, I will be officially entering seclusion tomorrow.

"Principal Niu has invited me to his Heart Paradise Island for my seclusion. That place is safer and bigger. Thus, I'll be going there tomorrow.

"This seclusion might last a month or two or even longer. I can't estimate how long it might take. Everyone, you have given a lot to the Source Soul Research Center in recent months..."

Wen Zhong said, "Don't say that. Compared to you, old-timers like us are nothing. We have failed at completing the source soul acupoint research, the aperture fusion research, and the lifespan extending research..."

He shook his head with a sigh. All of them combined had lived for about two thousand years yet they couldn't even compare to a child. This was too embarrassing.

The others also had helpless expressions. Those were hurtful but true words.

Su Yu smiled, "Senior Brother Wen, it's not like you don't know about me. Without the inheritances of our predecessors, I wouldn't have reached this level."

"You can't put things like that." Wen Zhong shook his head, "I don't know about everything else, but the acupoint fusion art is definitely not something our predecessors left behind. As for the Source Soul Acupoint Opening Art, even if your inheritance played a part, I can see that you only drew from the experience. The core concepts of that art did not come from any inheritance. That is your ability. The ability to create something others can understand and learn without making it needlessly complicated. You won't be able to do this without a deep enough understanding of the topic. This is something many can't do, including some top experts."

Jin Sheng nodded, "Junior Brother Su, don't be unduly humble. We're not little kids that will be jealous of talent. At our age, we are very open-minded. You are very accomplished at the numerous cultivation methods in existence. Your understanding is much deeper than ours. Your comprehension ability is also top-notch."

Su Yu grinned, "If you insist, I'll have no choice but to accept this praise. I'm even starting to feel embarrassed by all the praise."

The others merely laughed. Were they praising him emptily? Nope. There was no denying that Su Yu had deep accomplishments in the various cultivation methods. He not only knew the theories behind these cultivation methods, but he also had rich practical experience in them. Thus, he could definitely be regarded as an expert in cultivation methods.

Of course, this was only applicable to cultivation methods below the Mountainsea Realm. If they couldn't even notice this much, they might as well be blind. Traces of the myriad races' cultivation methods could be found in Su Yu's cultivation methods.

However, his cultivation methods were also clear-cut and easy to explain. The way and process of cultivating these methods were all concisely explained in human language. A very high level of understanding on these cultivation methods was required to do so. They did not think that Su Yu was an ignorant youth.

Su Yu grinned happily for a bit before saying, "Since I might stay in seclusion for a long time, I can actually help with your breakthroughs if you need to do it now."

Su Yu solemnly said, "All of you know about that little furball. I spent a long time thinking about what Senior Brother Jin said previously. The rejection of the various characters might not be the myriad race characters rejecting the human race. Rather, it might be the other way around. If you wish to break through, I can have the little furball swallow your human characters. There won't be any side effects."

"All of you have deep cultivation bases. You're only stuck due to the repelling force. The moment the repelling force is gone, you'll be able to advance your characters and step into the next realm."

The others exchanged gazes. While stroking his beard, Wen Zhong said, "I still can't bear to part with my characters. Also, I don't have any issues with my characters. My main issue is the fusion of apertures. Maybe my characters are also preventing me from fusing my apertures, but I'm not too sure. As for Junior Brother Jin and the others, they are indeed stuck because of their characters."

He looked at the others and smiled, "Why don't you guys give it a try? Just treat this as an experiment. We have never tried using the little furball. Since you guys have been playing with that little fellow for so long, it's time for you guys to repay that little fellow."

Su Yu laughed. Playing with the little fellow. Interesting. It had been a while since he last kept the little furball in his sea of willpower. The little furball had been spending his time with the rabbits on the first floor. Because of his availability, the others had the chance to play around with him a lot.

Perhaps in the little fellow's eyes, he was the one playing with all those humans. How would one know the joys of a fish if one was not a fish?

Jin Sheng helplessly said, "I can't bear to part with my characters."

Wu Lan lost her patience and said, "Senior Brother Jin, you have too many characters. You have multiple times more characters than me. With thirty-two characters, you're probably the human with the largest number of characters..."

Jin Sheng waved his hand and dismissed that claim, "Nonsense! How can I have the highest number of characters? Some of those long-lived Invincibles had a lot of characters even back then. They probably have more now. I definitely don't have the most characters. Even Faculty Head Hu and Principal Niu might have more."

Wen Zhong smiled, "I don't know about my teacher, but I only have fourteen characters for my character technique and twelve other characters with the abilities I need. I only have twenty-six in total."

The old people of Great Ming had the habit of forming dozens of characters as a hobby. It almost felt like they had spent hundreds of years only focusing on forming characters instead of working on their combat strength. Su Yu found himself speechless.

Compared to the people in Great Ming, even those from Great Xia's multiple character faction didn't have that many characters, including Hong Tan. Liu Wenyan was probably the sole exception, but he had probably formed so many characters out of boredom. Apart from Liu Wenyan, nobody from Great Xia had more than twenty characters. In fact, Su Yu was in the lead with twenty-one characters.

Wen Zhong said, "Junior Brother Jin, do you want to give it a try? We can use this chance to see if it's the human characters or the myriad race characters that have the stronger repelling force. This will help us confirm if one can enter the Sunmoon Realm more easily without any human characters."

After thinking about it, Jin Sheng clenched his teeth and said, "Fine. I'll do it. I'll sacrifice six of my characters."

"..."

They were all speechless to hear that. Even after removing six, wouldn't he still have twenty-six?

Su Yu laughed before calling out, "Furball, get over here."

A short while later, the little furball phased through the walls of the research center to arrive at the Four Seasons Pavilion. He blinked and scanned the room. When he saw the old-timers in the room, he looked quite happy, as though he had just found his toys.

Su Yu was quite boring as a toy. Meanwhile, the others were quite fun to play with. Immediately after arriving, he vanished.

Wu Lan roared angrily, "Get out!"

The little furball reappeared. Just a moment ago, he had entered Wu Lan's sea of willpower to take a look at his personal farm. He looked somewhat disappointed with what he saw.

"Little Wu, my crops are not mature yet. They're not yummy at all."

"Hmm?"
