Tribulation of Myriad Races

Ultimately, Su Yu decided to keep trying. It wasn’t like there was anyone here to witness his embarrassment. If anyone saw the sight of his backside blowing up, he could always kill them to silence them.

With that thought in mind, he tried linking and circulating his acupoints again…only to be greeted with yet another explosion. He ate another piece of lotus root without delay. His clothes were still fine. Even his underpants were an earth weapon.

There was no need to worry about his clothes. If possible, he would even change his underpants to a heaven weapon.

He couldn’t resist trying. A strong desire to learn was pushing him. He had a certain infatuation for all things related to cultivation. He started encouraging himself to make him feel better about his choice.

“I am sacrificing myself for a grand undertaking!”

“I am sacrificing my body to restore the lost grand cycle cultivation method for the Myriad Realms!”

“A great researcher can sacrifice everything for research. Even feces can be eaten if it helps with research!”

After a series of self-hypnosis, Su Yu felt like he had transformed into a saint.

He was a saint, bemoaning the state of the universe and pitying the fate of all living beings.

He was a saint with boundless affection for all.

His kindness had touched even himself. He was a great man who had opted to sacrifice his body to restore that which was lost for a hundred thousand years. Yes. This was definitely what he was doing.

He was doing this for the legacy of all cultural researchers in existence. Suddenly, a character took form in his sea of willpower.

“Saint.”

Yes. A saint. A saint who had sacrificed everything for the world. A saintly radiance enveloped Su Yu’s body. The radiance was blinding. He was akin to a saint descending from the heavens to save the mundane world.

“Sure enough…this is who I truly am.”

Su Yu muttered to himself that the saint character was an embodiment of his true self. He was doing this for the world. For the pursuit of the great dao. Yes. He had gained a new character just like that. As a natural character, it reached the second tier right after formation. It was also Su Yu’s twenty-ninth character.

Saint.

When Su Yu focused on the character to sense its ability…he was left speechless.

It had no special ability. It was not offensive in nature. It wasn’t even capable of dealing any damage. Rather, it only provided one with a sense of warmth. Yes. With this character, he would project a warm and gentle aura to all around him. Everyone would find him kind and trustworthy. Nobody would be able to resist trusting him.

This new character was a supportive character. In short, it was meant to increase his credibility.

After a short pause, the look in Su Yu’s eyes changed. A wide grin appeared on his face. Yes. As a cultural researcher, such a character was crucial. Sure, it might seem useless at a glance.

But it could increase his trustworthiness. It might even touch his enemies and convince them that he was no longer their enemy. Only upon failing to convince them with kindness would he resort to overcoming the obstacle with force.

“Yes. This is the dao of a saint. A saint shall gladly sacrifice his ass…”

Su Yu smiled gently. He stopped finding it embarrassing to blow his backside up. He sure was incredibly talented. With a tiny bit of thought, he had formed yet another character. Perhaps his thirtieth character would arrive soon as well.

He had been teleporting frequently as of late. Including the beast character he had detonated previously, he had a feeling that his comprehension of space had deepened significantly. He also had a large amount of cut space in his Mark of Civilization. He had even cut some of the space himself.

He was confident it wouldn’t take him long to comprehend a natural spatial character. In such a manner, Su Yu started linking his acupoints while eating lotus roots to repair his backside. At the same time, he was also swallowing some other treasures to strengthen his new character.

A character following the dao of saints. He aimed to make everyone see him as their father the moment they laid eyes on him. At that point, would anyone still want to attack him?

Wow. This could prove to be an incredibly scary character. His mere presence might be enough to cause everyone to kneel down and call him father once the character was pushed to a sufficiently high level.

Su Yu grinned again as he imagined the sight of that. He, with his genial smile, merely needed to show up for the likes of Tiangu to weep bitter tears and call him father, begging him to forgive their past transgressions.

Hehehe.

What an incredible character. It truly deserved to be a natural character.

Su Yu did not have a lot of natural characters, but each of his natural character was unique and useful.

Fire of inheritance. Tribulation. Culture. Radiance. Saint. Each of them was unique and powerful.

Yes. He had naturally neglected a certain character when he counted his natural characters.

The deceit character.

That was no natural character. That was an accident. Yeap. Definitely.

With a smile on his face, lotus root in his mouth, and an exploding backside, Su Yu strolled leisurely through the fifth level, presenting a bizarre sight that would suggest to anyone that he was a madman.

Naturally, that was not a concern for Su Yu. He was the only person in the area. Nobody would see this.

Right at that moment, someone walked out of a nearby cave before looking at Su Yu with an odd expression. Clearly, this was someone who had just emerged from treasure seeking. Noting that Su Yu was also a wolf like him, he decided to greet Su Yu. But before he could act, his head was separated from his body.

Then, the wolf was absorbed into a book. With the book in hand, Su Yu sighed while smiling, “You saw something you shouldn’t.”

Yes. This was the dialogue of a villain. But when it was spoken by him, it felt as though it was the way of nature. Eventually, Su Yu grew used to blowing up his backside. That wasn’t exactly a sensitive spot since someone at Su Yu’s cultivation level no longer required toilets.

“That was wrong…If I were to teach someone the grand cycle cultivation method, I would never teach them the operational method of this acupoint. I swear.”

He started gnashing his teeth even as he maintained the genial smile on his face.

Definitely.

Absolutely.

If he found anyone teaching the operational method of this acupoint, he would make that person his sworn enemy. After all he had experienced for this acupoint, he would not allow anyone to learn it any other way.

Yes. He was that overbearing. Even if an ancient past expert were to return to life, he would not allow that expert to teach about this acupoint. It wasn’t like one would die from this. At worst, one would only need to rest for a month or two to make a full recovery.

It might even take less time than that since someone cultivating the grand cycle cultivation method would not be a normal person. Su Yu reasoned that such an experience would be the perfect tool to temper someone.

“If I were to reach the level to establish my own heavenly laws, I would forbid the dissemination of the operational method for the Heaven Connecting Acupoint.”

Su Yu gnashed his teeth with a grimace. What was this? He could tolerate pain and exhaustion in cultivation. He did not mind all that. But he greatly despised cultivating this acupoint.

“Seventy-seven routes. Seventy-seven explosions.”

While muttering, Su Yu continued his attempts. At this point, he was already at the entrance to the sixth level. He did not step through it. He didn’t bother to explore the fifth level for treasures either.

His tribulation character was pulsing weakly. He was uncertain if He Tu would arrive anytime soon.

“The grand cycle cultivation method should adhere to the ways of the world. It shouldn’t generate a tribulation for me, right?”

That was his question. Back when he cultivated the Five Elemental Art, he had been challenged by a heavenly tribulation. He had encountered another heavenly tribulation when forging his weapon. That shouldn’t happen with the grand cycle cultivation method, right?

“Will the blood tribulation appear again? Was the ancient Myriad Race Assembly brazen enough to stop the human race from learning this cultivation method? Unlikely. Those capable of learning this cultivation method would all be the descendants or students of important individuals. They were different from the Time Sage, who was the public enemy number one. The assembly wouldn’t dare…Even the members of the assembly might cultivate the same thing as well…”

With that conclusion, Su Yu relaxed considerably. Yes. That would be a good thing. Without a tribulation, he would not need to worry about attracting too much attention.

“Ninety-two…”

When he burped, he noted that even his breath was now fragrant and sweet from eating so many lotus roots.

“I’m pretty unlucky here…”

He could link up to 356 acupoints, but the moment he attempted to link them to the Heaven Connecting Acupoint, an explosion would be generated. Only a few acupoints were left. Why wouldn’t it succeed?

A chart filled with numerous dots of light appeared before him. That was a projection of his acupoints. When observing with the naked eye, a cultivation method could also be beautiful. A cultivation method that did not emanate a sense of beauty would not be a good cultivation method.

As he observed the route he had charted, he frowned and started making adjustments. He was so immersed that he had completely forgotten about He Tu.

In truth, he greatly enjoyed the process of deducing cultivation methods. Sure, he wasn’t creating original cultivation methods, but it still felt great to successfully deduce a cultivation method.

Up until now, the Double Wu Acupoint Fusion Art was his proudest work. That was something he had derived one step at a time, relying only on himself. He had combined multiple cultivation methods, decided on thirty-six acupoints, and discovered the rules followed by these acupoints, before completing the cultivation method through multiple tests.

The Five Elemental Art was his second proudest work. It was a cultivation method he had completed with Old Zhao by slowly combining five cultivation methods into one. Thus, this was an exciting process to him. As he started his work, he completely forgot that he was currently in the incomparably dangerous Luminous Domain Mansion.

This state lasted until a fool shouted at him from afar, “Piss off! I’m going to the sixth level! Get out of the way!”

With a rumble, the diagram in front of him shattered. Su Yu frowned and slapped the Mountainsea into pieces.

“Damn it! How dare a Mountainsea act so arrogantly?”

Su Yu was furious. After killing the annoying shrimp, he finally realized that a long time had passed. He Tu might arrive soon as his tribulation character was starting to pulse faster and faster.

He sank into thought. The tribulation character was a lot more intense than before. Had things gotten even more dangerous? In that case, he should retreat without staying to record He Tu’s arrival.

Having made up his mind, he vanished with a flicker.

Not long after, He Tu arrived. This time, he did not stand around laughing like a villain. He had decided to keep a low profile. He started moving through the level rapidly. Before long, he reached the entrance to the next level.

He intended to watch the entrance himself this time as he suspected that Dummy had been deliberately releasing some of his victims. Something was telling him that his identity had been exposed.

Thus, he had taken on the job of watching the exit point himself. At the entrance, he smelled a weak stench of blood in the air. With a frown, he reached out and grabbed at the thin air. Then, a drop of blood formed atop his palm.

“Recently dead?”

A Mountainsea had died recently here. What a pity. This Mountainsea could have been converted into his subordinate.

He Tu was in no rush to enter the sixth level. He would stay and finish searching the fifth level first. With the drop of blood in his hand, he decided to punish the person who had killed a potential Mountainsea subordinate of his.

When he crushed the drop of blood, a scene started playing out before him. In the scene, a wolf was seated cross-legged in cultivation.

At first, He Tu was unbothered. But soon, he noticed something. His eyes flickered as he focused even more on the scene. A projection of the starry sky was visible in front of the wolf.
