Tribulation of Myriad Races

That day, shock spread all over the Allheaven Battlefield.

As for the main character who had caused the shock, Su Yu, some guessed that he was dead. Some were unsure. He was a person of great fortune. Would someone like him die so easily?

But Devil King Lade had destroyed the entire mayor’s residence with a palm attack. That was how he had provoked the stone statue. A lot of people saw that.

Everyone had instinctively believed that Su Yu had hidden himself in the mayor’s residence. Where else would he be but there? Otherwise, wouldn’t the two weeks the late-stage Sunmoons spent surrounding that place be reduced to a joke?

His whereabouts during the incident were important if one were to determine whether he was dead or alive. Was he staying by the stone statue or was he alone somewhere else in the mayor’s residence?

Then again, that wasn’t even too important anymore. Even if he survived, nobody would try to do anything to him anymore. So many Sunmoons had died while targeting him. Even Invincibles had suffered tremendously because of him.

If it was found that he was still alive, some people might even believe that Su Yu was attempting to reverse nature and seek death in pursuit of life. After all, anything was possible for a child of destiny like him.

***

Ancient city.

With the white mask on his face, Su Yu was studying the two treasures he had just obtained. Instead of returning to the mayor’s residence, he was staying inside a random building. The mayor’s residence was too dangerous. And the stone statue inside was too terrifying. He needed to calm down before entering that place again.

Numerous questions were coming through his mask and his Heavenly Hunt Directory. He hadn’t been able to get a chance to go through them.

Profound Nine was still alive.

As his direct superior, First Profound Elder was aware of that. And since Profound Nine was alive, Su Yu was naturally still alive as well.

First Profound wasn’t even surprised. That fellow had been busy making money all over the city instead of staying in the mayor’s residence. Lade had destroyed the mayor’s residence for no reason. In fact, First Profound would be even more surprised if Su Yu died.

“Profound Nine, how are things?”

“Profound Nine, what is up with that stone statue?”

“Profound Nine, were you aware of what the human race was planning to do before they killed Silkwyrm King?”

“Profound Nine…”

A long list of questions was sent Su Yu’s way. Numerous experts had gathered in the headquarters. Even the leader of the Yellow Department had showed up personally.

Heavenly Hunt Pavilion’s headquarters.

Numerous elders were gathered around a stage. Standing atop the stage was an expert with a gold mask. Only the leaders of the departments, chambers, and spires were equipped with gold masks. The person standing on the stage was the leader of the Yellow Department.

He was the leader of Heavenly Hunt Pavilion’s intelligence system. He was probably the person who knew the biggest number of secrets in the entire Allheaven Battlefield. Even the gold-masked leader was alarmed by the recent events.

After a long silence, he spoke, “Is Profound Nine of the Profound Department in Grandstar City? Is he still alive?”

First Profound answered, “Yes. But he must have suffered from the chaos as well. He hasn’t replied to any of my questions.”

The department head nodded. It was already good enough to stay alive. Such a major event had happened in Grandstar City. Even a bunch of Sunmoons had died. Profound Nine should count himself lucky just staying alive. In fact, Profound Nine must be quite lucky to survive through all the recent disasters in Grandstar City.

The change of Profound Nine was only known to the direct superior. Not even the leader of the Yellow Department was aware of this. He would only find out if the mask was destroyed and a new mask was requested from the headquarters. However, Su Yu had received his mask straight from the previous Profound Nine.

“Profound Nine did well…”

After checking the records, the Yellow Department’s head said, “During the chaos, Profound Nine has achieved sales of eighty thousand heavenly hunt points. Well done.”

Eighty thousand heavenly hunt points.

That was equal to eighty million human merit points.

Su Yu had earned this much in only a few days. This was unimaginable. Just from his commission, he could receive eighty heavenly hunt points. The blood essence of first-stage Sunmoons was valued between ten to fifty heavenly hunt points per drop.

Naturally, the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion would buy all first-stage Sunmoon blood essence at the standard price of ten points per drop. The prices would only be adjusted based on the races the blood essence came from when the pavilion was selling.

With his commission, Su Yu could purchase eight drops of the cheapest Sunmoon blood essence. There was no doubt that he had earned a lot from his commission.

As a member, he was also entitled to a forty percent discount. If he wanted, he could buy a lot of the cheapest Sunmoon blood essence from the pavilion before buying heavenearth profound light from the pavilion. Doing this, he could probably get a strand with only six heavenly hunt points.

Of course, he wouldn’t be able to do this too frequently or the pavilion would stop selling to him. In any case, there weren’t that many weak Sunmoons around for them to harvest blood essence from.

First Profound nodded, “Yes. He did well, but the pavilion did not earn that much. The unknown expert supplying us with heavenly source qi is the one who has earned a lot. We are merely breaking even from all the deals. We even need to pay a commission to Profound Nine for the transactions.”

The department head did not seem too bothered about that. He said, “It’s fine. At times, we can profit without actually making money. At the very least, the pavilion’s reputation has improved significantly. By the way, do we know the identity of the mysterious expert yet?”

The large sales volume was mainly due to the unknown expert Profound Nine had found. Even the Yellow Department’s leader was paying a lot of attention to this expert. Since that was someone with a large amount of heavenly source qi, was that someone with a heavenly source qi holy land in hand? Or was that an expert from a major race?

“Not for now. According to Profound Nine, that expert is very mysterious. They never met during the trades. They only transact through a system of drop-off points.”

“That’s a very cautious person.” The department head was unbothered, “Perhaps that was a genius or an expert from a major race who has embezzled a large amount of heavenly source qi from their own race. This incident was the perfect chance for them to get rid of their embezzled heavenly source qi.”

After all, heavenly source qi was something everyone needed during the previous incident. That would be the best opportunity to let go of some heavenly source qi for a good price.

The department head said, “Tell Profound Nine to pay close attention to that mysterious expert and update us with any findings. Also, the humans killed Silkwyrm King, throwing the entire Myriad Realms into chaos. This is the first death of an Invincible in fifty-one years.”

A sigh rang out. The death of an Invincible was extremely shocking even to the Yellow Deparment’s head.

This signified that the Invincibles were no longer invincible. They were no longer unkillable. Perhaps before long, a war between the myriad races would start. This time, humanity had completely surprised him.

The department head said, “Since Silkwyrm King is dead, so be it. We should focus on the Human Realm. The human Eternals are starting to move. After killing Silkwyrm King, the Human Realm will become the center of attention before long. This is especially true since Xia Longwu’s dao affirmation is coming soon. His dao affirmation will definitely happen alongside the dao affirmation of several other humans, such as Zhou Polong, Qin Zhen, and others. I’m gathering everyone here today to talk about this. The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion needs to send more of our people into the Human Realm as well.”

A faceless elder asked, “Department Head, the various realms are under the jurisdiction of the two chambers. The four departments only need to focus on the Allheaven Battlefield. Is this related to us?”

The department head said, “Do you think the next focus of the Myriad Realms will still be in the Allheaven Battlefield? The two chambers might not necessarily share any secret they found. Something major is going to happen in the Human Realm in the near future. The four departments naturally need to take part in it as well. We also need to spread our business into the Human Realm. The Human Realm is no regular realm. This is even more so for Great Xia. Countless experts from countless races have gathered there. Invincible ruins might appear…”

He continued, “It will be too eye-catching for Eternals to enter the Human Realm. It is much safer for others to enter. Arrange for our own members to enter the Human Realm as soon as possible and build a communication system across the entire Human Realm. The two chambers have not been making much inroads in the Human Realm even after so many years. We will have to rely on ourselves.

“All four departments need to work together for this. I’ve discussed with the other department heads. The four departments will select a group of elites to enter the Human Realm. Each department will ready three elders, twenty white masks, fifty black masks, a hundred rainbow masks, and five hundred gray masks for deployment.”

An elder exclaimed in surprise, “We’re sending that many people? Won’t we have nearly a hundred white masks and two thousand gray masks in total?”

The department head said, “The Human Realm is powerful and massive. We naturally need more people. Also, our people need to have some understanding of the Human Realm. They need to know how to speak and read in the human language. They also need to need some knowledge on the history of the Human Realm, the general situation of each prefecture, such as internal conflicts, factions, and so on.”

Each department had to deploy three elders and twenty white masks. All of them needed to be elites. With that in mind, the elders sank into thought. Was the Human Realm dangerous? Yes. After all, they were outsiders.

An elder said, “Department Head, in the Human Realm, Great Xia, Great Qin, and Great Zhou are highly dangerous. Even Great Ming, which has risen to prominence recently, is very dangerous as well. Numerous Sunmoons died there not long ago. I don’t think we can just send any elders or members into these prefectures. Don’t forget the Dual Holy Prefecture where their two holy lands are located as well. Also, the Allheaven Prefecture with tens of millions of soldiers stationed there is also extremely dangerous…”

The department head nodded, “We can work on the details when we’re picking our candidates. Those chosen to enter these dangerous zones will naturally receive additional reward and support.”

He looked at First Profound and said, “First Profound, it’s better for you to go as well. I have high expectations for you. Your subordinate, Profound Nine, has done very well this time. I think they will be a good candidate as well.”

First Profound’s expression under his mask changed as he said, “Department Head, Profound Nine is an ancient city resident. He can’t leave…”

The department head nodded, “I’m aware of that. But it won’t be an issue if we can supply him with enough heavenly source qi.”

First Profound said, “Department Head, Profound Nine is only a white mask. We have plenty of white masks. It’s too expensive to send him to the Human Realm.”

He didn’t know what the department head was thinking. Profound Nine had always been an ancient city resident regardless of whether it was the new Profound Nine or the previous Profound Nine.
