Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 1680: Culture King’s Residence (2)

Before Su Yu could say anything, the dog continued, “I can’t leave! Master is not back! I can’t leave! I have to guard our home!”

The white dog knew that his two masters were humans. However, he had his own mission. A dog’s mission. Since his master wasn’t home, he had to guard their home. That was his most important mission.

Neither Culture King nor Time Sage had given him the mission to save humanity. He was merely a guard dog. Meant to guard their home.

Su Yu felt quite helpless. Even if he could get this dog to help, a single Eternal wouldn’t be too helpful. Not even a ninth-degree Eternal would be enough to reverse the situation for humanity.

After forcefully calming himself down somewhat, Su Yu said, “Senior, did Culture King and Time Sage leave any treasures behind? Something capable of killing Daofuses? If there are, can I borrow these treasures for a bit?”

“Something capable of killing Daofuses?” The white dog shook his head and said, “The master and little master left no treasures behind. This is only a home. This is a place to eat, sleep, and read. There are no treasures here.”

The more Su Yu listened, the more anxious he got.

Just then, the little furball, who was sprawled on Su Yu’s head, wrinkled his nose and shouted, “Liar! Treasures! I can smell the yummy smell of the treasures!”

Only then did the white dog notice the little furball. He looked at the little furball with an odd gaze and said, “Huh? I saw you before, I think…no, wait, you’re so weak. Oh oh oh…I remember now! A long time ago, Master took something like you back! I saw that!”

“Soy Bun?” Su Yu asked.

The white dog nodded, “Yes, yes! Soy Bun! He was brought back when the little master was eating some soy buns. When she saw him, she said that he looked like an appetizing soy bun. Since then, Master started calling that fellow Soy Bun.”

Was that the origin story of Soy Bun?

Su Yu inhaled deeply. Little master. That was the Time Sage.

“Uhm…can I ask you a question? Who is Time Sage to Culture King?”

“The little master is Master’s younger sister!”

Sister?

Su Yu had an odd expression. Weren’t the two supposed to be a couple? How did that turn into sublings?

So Time Sage was Culture King’s little sister?

Holy shit!

Was this known to anyone?

Wait, Human Emperor and some other people should know, right? That must be so, right? Between Culture King and Time Sage, which was stronger? Well, that wasn’t important now.

Su Yu’s anxiousness was growing. Was he really going to leave empty-handed? Things were going to get very troublesome.

He was sure Great Zhou King wouldn’t have started the war without a trump card, but the price for such a trump card would probably be very high. As the current leader of humanity, Su Yu felt like he couldn’t return from Culture King’s Residence empty-handed.

“Senior, humanity is really in a crisis. Billions of us are in a crisis. Humanity will cease to exist. Senior, for the sake of Culture King and Time Sage, please save humanity once!”

The white dog struggled, “But…I can’t leave! Before she left, the little master told me to watch over our home! She told me to not break things! She will check when she’s back!”

Suddenly, the white dog recalled something and rushed back into the house.

A short while later, the white dog returned with a kettle in his mouth. He said, “It’s time for me to water the flowers! The little master will be angry if the flowers are dead when she comes back!”

Then, he soared into the sky before watering the plants around the house.

Su Yu watched blankly.

That kettle…looked like a weapon.

When he focused, he noted that…the kettle was a heaven weapon! As a weaponsmith, he could see that much.

He was certain!

As for the water…holy shit! That was no water. That was sunmoon profound yellow liquid!

Was that the case?

It must be!

Su Yu’s heart thumped. What was the sunmoon profound yellow liquid? That was a supreme treasure Sunmoons could use to strengthen their apertures. But such a treasure was being used to water some plants here?

When Su Yu first arrived, he had not thought much about the flowers around him. But now, he focused on the flowers again.

Instantly, his heart thumped rapidly.

He gapsed in shock.

These flowers…were treasures as well!

While watering the flowers, the white dog said, “New Guy, are humans in danger? I can’t help. Why don’t you hide here? Nobody can reach this place. You’ll be fine here.”

Su Yu smiled bitterly and said, “Senior, I am the current leader of humanity. If I hide away, humanity will be finished.”

“Oh…”

The white dog was still struggling, but he did not stop watering the flowers. He said, “Your enemies must not be too strong if someone so weak like you can be the leader of humanity. Are your enemies weak as well? If they’re really so weak, I might have a solution.”

“Weak?” Su Yu said, “No. They have a lot of Daofuses.”

The white dog said, “Then they must be very strong. Daofuses are very powerful. So what daos have they fused with? How many daos have they fused with? I don’t think I can be their match. I have only opened one dao. A small dao. I am nothing compared to my master and little master. My dao is still quite short. New Guy, I can’t defeat them.”

Su Yu blanked out.

Opening a dao?

This dog had opened his very own dao?

Finally, the dog was done watering the flowers. He delivered the kettle back to the house. Then, he ran to the gate of the courtyard and opened it. He said, “New Guy, come on in. But since the master isn’t around, you can only stay in the courtyard. You can’t enter without the master.”

Su Yu had an odd expression. This was quite a courteous dog.

After giving it a thought, he stepped into the courtyard.

Inside, the dog wagged his tail to welcome Su Yu. He went back into the house and said, “Take a seat. I’ll make tea for you. My master left some good tea behind. Since you can reach this place, you’re a guest. You can’t come inside, but the master won’t mind serving you some tea…”

Su Yu said nothing. He merely sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard. The courtyard was clean and tidy. It did not look abandoned at all. Carely, the white dog had taken good care of the place.

The bluestones on the ground looked sleek and clean, and flowers were planted here and there. Beside the stone bench and stone table, a massive old tree stood, providing shade to the stone bench and table. This was indeed a good place to grab a cup of tea and rest.

However, Su Yu couldn’t move his eyes from the tree. His heart was thumping. This ancient tree…was a supreme treasure as well! He was certain! Thick heavenly source qi was being released by the tree. In fact, he could even sense the power of laws rippling around the tree.

Had this tree gained sentience from existing for so long? Even the stone table was something that had been soaked in an environment of thick source qi for countless years. When Su Yu focused, he gasped in shock. The stone table…felt like a divine weapon!

He suspected that as the stone table felt even more powerful than any heaven weapon he knew of. He was greatly shocked.

The fact that he was only allowed to stay in the courtyard did not diminish his shock in the slightest. Just what he saw out here was shocking enough. Was this the residence of Culture King and Time Sage?

Just then, the white dog returned. The white dog came carrying a tray with his mouth. On the tray, a pot of tea and two cups rested.

The white dog arranged the tea on the table in a well-practiced manner. He did not seem interested in transforming into a humanoid form. As such, he was used to carrying things with his mouth.

After setting the teapot and two cups down, he lifted the teapot with his mouth and poured the two cups full with tea. Then, he said, “Have a drink.”

Su Yu wasn’t in the mood to drink tea, but as the fragrance of the tea reached his nose, he felt invigorated. Thus, he lifted the cup and smiled, “Thank you, Senior.”

“You’re welcome.”

As for the little furball, he was usually extremely picky with food. But this time, he jumped onto the table without any hesitation before giving the tea a lick. Instantly, his body started shining.

Shocked, Su Yu took a sip as well. The moment the tea entered his mouth, he felt his blood boil.

After the intense battle outside, his body had suffered a lot of damage. Not even the numerous treasures he had consumed had changed that. But now, some dark blood started seeping out of his pores.

His newly grown flesh was being strengthened at a rapid pace. That was the effect of a single sip of tea. Su Yu had a lot of body-recovery treasures, including the smiling mouth lotus. But as his body grew strong, these treasures were already much less effective than before.

Just what tea was this?

Something capable of healing even his body could most certainly be considered a treasure.

Su Yu asked, “Senior, what tea is this?”

The white dog said, “This tea…hmm…it’s delicious. Normally, we’ll only serve it when there are guests. It came from the tea tree my master and little master planted personally on the River of Time. It can only be harvested once in many years.”

There was no name for this tea since it was merely some random tea they planted at home.

Su Yu blanked out. Planting tea on the River of Time. What a terrifying pair of siblings. Everyone was boundlessly fearful of the River of Time, yet they were both living and farming on it.

Su Yu said nothing and took another sip. The flavor changed with the second sip. This time, his sea of willpower started boiling. His willpower had grown to the ninth-stage Mountainsea Realm. He also had thirty characters, with a decent number of Sunmoon characters. However, the majority of them were still Mountainsea characters.

With that sip of tea, a dense wave of pure willpower washed over his sea of willpower. The characters started devouring the wave of willpower ravenously. One of the characters charged into the clump of newly arrived willpower. Instantly, it started advancing.

Yes. Advancing.

Just a single sip had caused a character to advance.

It was the fire of inheritance.

Su Yu had been trying to grow it for quite a while, but he had never gotten the chance. In the past, he had been prioritizing the more practical characters. Finally, it was the fire of inheritance’s chance to advance into a Sunmoon Realm.

Su Yu could also feel some power of laws hidden amid the clump of pure willpower. That clump of energy was more than willpower. Willpower alone would not trigger such a rapid advancement.

Once again, Su Yu’s heart thumped. Absolute treasure!

Holy shit!

Culture King’s territory was clearly filled with treasures!

This was only a cup of tea!

He wasted no time and started drinking madly, allowing the tea to replenish him with a large amount of willpower and source qi.

He was fully immersed in the wonderful sensation.

His characters advanced one after another.

His sea of willpower started expanding and strengthening as well. Even his apertures were absorbing the newly arrived willpower. The nine apertures floating above his sea of willpower started showing signs of further fusion. This was the prelude to an advancement into the Sunmoon Realm.

Beside Su Yu, the little furball was swaying about, as though he was drunk. At the same time, his entire body was shining brightly. He had seemingly transformed into a golden ball. Suddenly, his aura changed. The little furball had been in the Mountainsea Realm for quite a while. Of course, for Su Yu, that was only a short period of time.

Since the little furball had never played a big role in his battles, he had been neglecting the litle furball’s strength. And now, the little furball had advanced into a Sunmoon.

That instantly woke Su Yu up from his reverie.

The little furball continued swaying around like he was drunk. He had a look of joy in his eyes as his aura slowly grew stronger. Before long, his aura stabilized. He had completed his advancement.

In the past, he would always be rewarded with some heavenly rewards for each advancement. This time, there was nothing.

So did he advance or not?

Yes. He did.
