Chapter 1035: Rapid Growth (2)
"Great Xia King..."
Inside his building, Su Yu was shocked. Great Xia King had arrived!
The overbearing Great Xia King!
He grew up in Great Xia. There, Great Xia King was viewed as a god. Back then, Su Yu himself viewed Great Xia King as a god as well. That might have changed, but that was the case for eighteen years of his life. Great Xia King was the pillar of Great Xia, the leader and the savior of Great Xia.
And today, such a person had drawn his blade. Su Yu's emotions turned extremely complicated. He...did not require the assistance of human Invincibles. Nor was that something he wanted. Sure, he once wished for their help. But that had changed as well.
But soon, he suppressed his emotions. He did not want the human Invincibles to battle for his sake. Life and death were ruled by fate. He would bear the consequences of his actions himself.
He did not need anyone to shoulder anything for him. Even if that would cause his death, he had no regrets.
But Great Xia King and Great Ming King had still arrived. As of late, he had thought that the human Invincibles were unworthy of respect. This had been his opinion for the past year.
But after seeing two Invincibles taking the risk to rush over here, he couldn't help but feel touched. But he also felt very helpless. He wanted to tell them to stop. He didn't want to be moved. The more moved he was, the more he might need to sacrifice. And...he didn't want to sacrifice for anyone.
"I don't need Invincibles to sacrifice anything for me. I don't need Great Xia King's blade..."
Su Yu kept muttering to himself. If Great Xia King really fought for him today, he might no longer be able to erase his sentiments toward Great Xia. He needed to be cold-blooded. He needed to be emotionless.
Su Yu inhaled deeply. Then, the little furball appeared in his hand. He would rather seek help from other races. He might die. He might end up as father furball's food. But that did not matter.
As Su Yu looked at the little furball, the little fellow stared at him while tightly hugging the Soul Expanding Hammer.
Su Yu smiled.
"Little Furball, what do you think about getting your dada to help me? If you get your dada to help me, I'll give you that yummy thing you've always wanted..."
"Liar!" The little furball spoke in his tender, childish voice, "Can't eat that! Not even you can feed that thing to me!"
The little furball wanted to say that he was young, but he was not stupid. He knew that Yummy was lying to him! After spending such a long time in Yummy's sea of willpower, he knew that the yummy thing was located very very very very deep inside Yummy's sea of willpower. There was no way to reach that thing. Yummy was lying!
Su Yu's face sank as he said, "Fine. Even if I can't let you eat that thing, I've been getting you a lot of good food recently, right? Since we're in danger, you need to get your dada to come and help you, right?"
"I can't..." The little furball complained, "It's true! I can't contact Dada! I tried, but Dada didn't reply!"
The little furball suspected that his dada must have fallen asleep again. He still remembered how his dada would spend all the time sleeping back then.
"How about your mama?"
The little furball once said that there were only three members in his race, comprised of his dada, his mama, and him. But as far as Su Yu was concerned, those were merely the nonsensical words of a child.
"Mama's not home."
"Not home? What's your mama's strength?"
Since the dada was a Pseudo Emperor, clearly, the dada was the boss of the race. In that case, the mama must be an expert as well, right?
"I don't know..."
The little furball shook his head cluelessly. He didn't even know his mama's current location. When he left home, he was still extremely ignorant. He had smartened up a lot recently, but everything he knew had been learned from Su Yu. Back then, he would spend all his time sleeping atop his dada. There was no way for him to learn anything that way.
Su Yu was left quite speechless. Why did this fellow know nothing? He continued forging his body while asking, "Have you tried eating some sunmoon profound yellow liquid?"
This little fellow needed to grow stronger as well.
Perhaps this fellow would be strong enough to kill Sunmoons at the Mountainsea Realm. Or to be precise, this fellow could enter the sea of willpower of those Sunmoons, giving him an opportunity to kill them. For example, the willpower of a Sunmoon warrior would probably be at the level of a Mountainsea. The little furball would have no trouble entering such a sea of willpower as a Mountainsea.
"No! Will burst apart!"
The little furball shook his entire body. Previously, he had tried eating some sword qi and flame. Both were the powers of Invincibles, and he had nearly burst apart. In fact, he was still in the middle of digesting the two powers even now. Thus, he was not going to eat anything so powerful anymore.
Su Yu was disappointed to hear that. This fellow sure was bad at enjoying life. Wasn't this fellow supposed to be a foodie? How could a foodie say no to delicious food?
After exhaling lightly, Su Yu smiled. It did not matter. If this fellow didn't want to eat, he would eat. The sunmoon profound yellow liquid could strengthen one's soul aperture. It was mostly meant for Sunmoons.
Previously, he did not intend to use it. That would make it impossible for him to forge his apertures in the future. It was fine. At this point, why still worry about all that? It was time for him to take the sunmoon profound yellow liquid.
Previously, he had received ten drops as a reward. And through his recent scam, he had also earned an additional three hundred drops. He would use this to further strengthen himself.
This time, he was going to strengthen his apertures instead of his body. That way, he would be able to push his willpower to the level of a Mountainsea. With his Soul Expanding Hammer, fourth-stage characters, a powerful sea of willpower, and the little furball, he might be able to kill a Mountainsea with one strike of his hammer.
As for his future difficulties in entering the Mountainsea and Sunmoon Realms, that was a problem for his future self to solve. If this somehow robbed his willpower of the ability to further advance, it didn't matter. Just with his body, he could still sweep through the Myriad Realms.
Su Yu had decided to go completely crazy. They wanted to trap him in the city, right? Fine. He would use everything he had, ensuring that they wouldn't get anything even if they managed to kill him.
With that, he started forging his body while consuming sunmoon profound yellow liquid.
First drop.
Boom!
Instantly, he felt his consciousness dispersing. This felt the same as the first time he opened an aperture. It was as though his consciousness was floating in the air, overlooking his own body below. He had opened a total of 196 apertures so far. He had 16 more apertures to open.
All 196 of his apertures started absorbing the power of the sunmoon profound yellow liquid. His apertures started growing madly. Inside his sea of willpower, his willpower started compressing, putting him in a state where he lacked willpower.
Willpower cultivation felt terrible without Sunmoon characters to crush. But that did not matter. When his apertures grew to a certain level, he took out an Invincible note. In the past, he wouldn't be able to bring himself to do this. But at this point, he no longer cared. He would devour even these Invincible notes.
Each Invincible note was filled with powerful willpower. That was why he had been able to form characters from reading these notes. He had ten of them in total.
Even the notes where he had formed characters reading would still work. Forming a single character out of an Invincible note would not even exhaust the note much. It would still be filled with willpower.
In fact, devouring the willpower inside willpower texts had always been the standard practice of cultural researchers. Su Yu was merely an exception who rarely used this method. That was because most of his willpower texts were the more valuable ones. Thus, he had never been willing to do so. But he no longer cared.
He started reading Great Han King's note while absorbing the willpower in it. The note would be completely useless upon losing all its willpower. Any other person would treat an Invincible note as treasure. Su Yu was one such person in the past. But that had changed.
Thanks to the willpower from the note, his apertures started stabilizing. Even the amount of willpower in his sea of willpower started increasing slightly.
His current state was rather similar to Liu Wenyan's. Liu Wenyan's sea of willpower was powerful, but he lacked the willpower to further his advancement. Thus, he had decided to crush his Sunmoon characters to fuel his growth. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
As for Su Yu, he was ruining Invincible notes to fuel his own cultivation. One could say that this pair of teacher and student was basically a pair of wastrels.
Su Yu did not care about how wasteful this was. Wealth did not matter to the dead. He could consider forcefully forcing his willpower cultivation to the ninth-stage Cloudbreach Realm before strengthening his apertures with the sunmoon profound yellow liquid. That way, his willpower would become stronger than even the willpower of some Mountainseas.
He was trying to gain as much strength as possible for now. As for his future, only someone alive was qualified to talk about the future.
Su Yu wasn't too worried that the Invincibles would start spawning more death spirits in the city. At worst, he would complete his conversion into a resident. Even now, there were still a lot of residents in the city. Most of the time, the death spirits would leave these residents alone.
This was something Su Yu had verified during his stay in Heavendoom City. He was not completely out of options yet. If they thought that they could get him killed through death spirits, they must be dreaming.
Consumption, strengthening. This cycle continued repeatedly.
Su Yu started growing at a rapid pace. His characters, sea of willpower, and the number of opened apertures had all reached the level of a Mountainsea. But he had remained as a second-stage Cloudbreach because he had been suppressing his advancement.
But today, he released all his suppression. In fact, he was even encouraging his willpower to advance. If even Dao Cheng could easily enter the Mountainsea Realm after absorbing some treasures, advancement naturally wouldn't be an issue for Su Yu.
In the blink of an eye, he reached the third-stage Cloudbreach Realm. Shortly after, he reached the fourth stage.
After increasing his cultivation, he would receive less heavenly rewards. But that was no big deal. If possible, he even wanted to grow until the heavens deemed him unworthy of reward even after killing Mountainseas and Sunmoons. That way, he would no longer need to worry about the heavenly rewards exposing his position after each kill.
He found that extremely annoying. He stopped caring about heavenly rewards. At worst, he could always compress his willpower and reduce his cultivation level in the future when he needed more heavenly rewards. That was doable.
For example, Zhao Li had dropped from the ninth-stage Cloudbreach to the seventh-stage Cloudbreach after failing his advancement into the Mountainsea Realm. At the time, he had been forced to further compress his willpower after his failed advancement. That was the main reason for the decrease of his cultivation level.
Without any suppression from Su Yu, his willpower was truly growing at an incredible speed. After he was done absorbing all the willpower from an Invincible note, he reached the peak of the fourth stage. Unfortunately, such rapid growth had also filled his willpower with impurities.
But not even that was a problem. He only needed to hammer his sea of willpower a few times to remove some of the impurities. His willpower would no longer be as high in quality as the willpower of top geniuses, but it would still be comparable to the willpower of regular geniuses. Having squeezed one of the notes dry, he moved to the next note. He had ten of them. There was no need to hesitate.
Through this experience, Su Yu discovered just how powerful the sunmoon profound yellow liquid was. The first drop had taken him a long time to digest. The second drop had taken him just as much time to digest. His apertures continued growing.
Su Yu did not know too much about the Sunmoon Realm. He only knew that at the Sunmoon Realm, one would only have a single aperture left. At the first stage, the aperture would only be a tiny part of a circle. Slowly, the circle would be filled up with each advancement.
And when the circle was completely filled like a full moon, one would reach the peak Sunmoon Realm. That was the growth process of a Sunmoon.
