Chapter 6: Update at 6 o'clock

From within the door came the voice of Futo Spirit.

Su Yu’s heart rejoiced—this was the biggest flaw in the plan; with Futo Spirit dealt with, the only remaining fear was the Invincible’s personal descent, but on Nine Star Island, the Invincible would not come here without a cataclysmic change.

Thump, thump, thump!

Su Yu knocked again.

Inside the door, Futo Spirit grew irritable—again!

How annoying!

“Who is it? What do you want? Are you not afraid of death?”

He growled, already drawing a golden small sword, aiming it at the door—dare I give you a strike?

Even a Sun-Moon would have to find a way to save himself; of course, killing in the ancient city was not a good choice, and unless absolutely necessary, he did not want to act here, but something was knocking outside, and this was a dead city—he was still somewhat frightened.

At that moment, Su Yu stopped knocking and took out an ancient city token.

He had quite a few ancient city tokens on hand, but the best could only enter the 16th ring.

Fortunately, Futo Spirit had entered the 16th ring!

Since he wouldn’t open the door, he would force his way in, shut the door and beat the dog, and kill Futo Spirit.

The ancient city token appeared; Su Yu infused it with deathly aura. Outside the door, the invisible barrier seemed to open a crack, while inside the room, Futo Spirit’s sense of crisis surged!

Even though Su Yu had used the Stillness divine script, Futo Spirit still felt a thick sense of danger!

The small sword in his hand was ready to strike!

At that moment, Futo Spirit felt the door tremble and growled, “Who are you? Do you seek death? Can you withstand a single blow from the Invincible?”

Damn it!

This was opening the door, forcing it open.

The other party was either a powerful death spirit or a fellow with an ancient city token—and a very strong one at that.

The sound of opening the door softened a bit; Su Yu’s heart stirred—perhaps… he could trick one of those things… but he feared he couldn’t hold out.

It should be possible, right?

The Five Elements technique was very powerful, and it seemed to share the same origin as that thing; last time he had forcibly absorbed the wood spike, but this time the distance was too close, and Su Yu was a bit worried—

He wouldn’t have time to absorb and digest.

After a moment’s consideration, Su Yu hesitated, then quickly made up his mind.

He had to get in!

In his Sea of Will, he instructed Little Furball: “If I can’t handle absorbing it, you absorb some—that thing counts as willpower attack, you can absorb it, got it?”

“It smells good… but it’s very dangerous.”

Little Furball muttered; it smelled good, but it also sensed the danger—last time it hadn’t dared to eat.

“Smelling good is enough—better to die from eating something fragrant than to be killed, right?”

Little Furball pondered, nodding its body—well, that made sense too.

After instructing Little Furball for a while, Su Yu continued opening the door.

The great door now opened a tiny crack.

At that moment, a powerful Five Elements force surged from behind the door—Futo Spirit still couldn’t bear to use the small sword directly; he would test the waters first.

Su Yu instantly reverted to his physical form, shoved the door open, and punched out!

A thunderous boom!

Su Yu entered the door in an instant, closed it—the motion was seamless, shutting the door to beat the dog; he was familiar with this move, having done the same in Tian Mie City last time.

Futo Spirit’s Five Elements Purgatory instantly manifested!

It wrapped the intruder inside.

It felt strong, but not overwhelmingly so; once the Five Elements Purgatory was out, it trapped the other, and he immediately recognized him.

“Tian Duo…”

No!

His heart jolted—the demonic aura was fierce, it looked like Tian Duo, but he was a Five Elements clan expert and had fought Su Yu to the death before; in an instant, he shrieked, “Su Yu!”

Holy shit!

It was this guy—how had he found him?

Without a word, the small sword appeared; at the same time, Su Yu’s eyes lit up, and then a tiny flame appeared, and then a clod of earth…

Su Yu’s heart jolted—damn, are you crazy, using so many Invincible divine talismans at once?

This, he had considered too.

In an instant, a powerful corpse appeared before Su Yu.

Yes, the corpse of that Sun-Moon eighth-layer.

Su Yu used it as a shield; though the man was dead, his strength in life was great, enough to block a bit—this thing was sturdier than ordinary earth weapons.

Futo Spirit instantly felt the pressure; the overwhelming might made him want to kneel.

Terror in his heart!

Holy shit!

What was this?

He held several items, aimed at Su Yu, and shouted, “What do you want? Do you insist on dying? Do you think a broken corpse can stop me?”

Su Yu frowned, then after a moment, said, “Why not use them one by one?”

“…”

“Go to hell!”

“Am I that stupid? Last time you absorbed my wood spike; now I know it’s you, why would I use just one?”

“What if it gets absorbed again!”

He held three divine talismans, aimed at Su Yu, and growled, “Even with that broken corpse as a shield, at least two talismans can pierce through—can you block them? I still have one more… Su Yu, are you forcing us both to destruction?”

He still had four divine talismans, but these were life-saving items; using them all at once would break him, and besides, could they kill Su Yu?

Hard to say!

Su Yu’s situation was special; his strength wasn’t too great, but this guy seemed to counter his talismans—not exactly counter, but more like encompassing them.

This left Futo Spirit speechless!

Could it be Su Yu’s Five Elements divine script issue?

Unable to understand, he was now in a dilemma.

And Su Yu was also helpless—this guy actually wouldn’t use them one by one; that was really troublesome.

Su Yu remained calm, holding the corpse as a shield in front of him, and smiled, “Futo Spirit, how about this—let’s make peace. Give me two divine talismans, and I won’t trouble you anymore.”

"......"

"Su Yu, do you take me for a fool?"

Futu Ling muttered gloomily. Do I look like an idiot?

And besides, why on earth was this guy masquerading as Tian Duo?

At this moment, the man and the elemental stood less than ten meters apart. Su Yu was wary of his remaining divine talismans, while Futu Ling feared that once those talismans were spent, he would have no way left to kill his opponent. For a time, both sides were locked in a tense standoff, each hesitant to make the first move.

Within his sea of consciousness, Su Yu urged repeatedly, "Mini-ball, can you swallow one of them?"

If it could swallow just one, Su Yu’s certainty in dealing with Futu Ling would increase drastically.

"I'll burst to death!"

The little ball refused; it would truly burst to death.

They were far too strong!

Su Yu felt utterly helpless. You, a Lingyun-stage genius of an ancient race, are truly useless.

"Then quietly devour all of his willpower. Activating the divine talismans requires power, it requires willpower. If you consume his willpower, he won't be able to activate them at all..."

No divine talisman could activate itself; they all required the master to trigger them. The little ball might actually be able to pull it off.

The little ball gave it some thought and decided it was worth a shot.

Devour his willpower!

Just the willpower around the divine talismans would do!

Su Yu continued, "Just consume the willpower surrounding his talismans, make it impossible for him to activate them in an instant. Move quickly, we'll take him down together..."

"Alright then!"

The little ball also felt like taking the gamble. If they succeeded, they would feast sumptuously!

Man and ball instantly reached an agreement.

Meanwhile, Su Yu spoke directly aloud, "Futu Ling, don't be hasty. You might not necessarily kill me, and I might not necessarily defeat you. I came looking for you this time because I have something to discuss."

"I don't want to hear it, back away!"

Futu Ling warned vigilantly, "I have already contacted an Invincible of my race, and they will arrive shortly. Su Yu, do not bring about your own ruin!"

Su Yu smiled and said, "This is an ancient city!"

Last time, so many Invincibles didn't dare enter the ancient city, and it was said they only lingered on the periphery. Would an Invincible of your Five Elements Race dare come?

Who are you trying to scare!

Futu Ling was speechless, muttering gloomily, "You kept looking for me, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Cooperate!"

"Cooperate?"

"Yes, it's like this: I plan to lure and kill Mo Duona, and I need your help..."

Pure nonsense!

Futu Ling nearly coughed up blood. Are you mocking me?

Fine, if this guy still possessed Ye Batian's divine character, he might truly be able to kill Mo Duona, but why on earth would you kill Mo Duona for no good reason... Is there a deep, blood feud between you two?

Between geniuses, most fought and killed one another using their true capabilities. Otherwise, who didn't have a few hidden trump cards?

Even if Su Yu unleashed Ye Batian's divine character and killed the opponent, what of it?

The benefits gained wouldn't be that massive, and it would cause the Invincibles of the Demon Race to hunt him down endlessly.

As they spoke, the little ball appeared silently.

Futu Ling's heart suddenly jolted in alarm. In the next instant, he let out a low shout and, without another word, prepared to activate the divine talismans to finish Su Yu. His danger sense was exceptionally sharp; the moment the little ball appeared, he sensed the crisis. Though he saw nothing, he felt a faint ripple.

Buzz!

A strand of incomparably sharp sword qi emerged, followed next by a surge of powerful, rising flames...

Futu Ling was just about to activate the third jade talisman, that earthen lump, when his heart suddenly tightened. The earthen lump could not be activated!

Great terror gripped his heart. Without a second thought, a water divine talisman was unleashed within his mind, instantly enveloping him in fluid. Immediately after, he threw out a punch, sending the cloaked little ball flying!

In the next moment, the earthen lump was activated once more, instantly forming a patch of yellow earth. Somewhat frantic and desperate, Futu Ling leaped straight into the yellow earth.

The earth and water blended instantly!

And at this moment, Su Yu had no time to worry about him.

Flames raged and the sword qi was razor-sharp. He activated his Five Elements Divine Art, relying on his eighth-layer Sun-Moon physical body to block a portion of the lethal intent. The remaining portion seeped through, and the flames instantly incinerated his flesh.

Su Yu roared fiercely, exploding with a massive amount of Heavenly Yuan Qi.

Flesh and blood regenerated!

A portion of the sword qi was forcibly absorbed into his sea of consciousness, kicking up terrifying, tempestuous waves within his mind.

This guy was far too perceptive!

By this time, Futu Ling had completely transformed into a fixed lump of earth. He hadn't told Su Yu that among his Five Elements divine talismans, not all of them were offensive; the water and earth divine characters were purely defensive.

Otherwise, he would have unleashed all four divine characters together long ago.

At this moment, the remaining water and earth talismans activated, forming a massive defensive matrix of muddy earth, and Futu Ling hid himself directly inside it.

This was a choice made out of absolute desperation!

But he had felt the crisis, and having no choice, he had to opt for this path.

Futu Ling had solidified himself!

In this manner, even if Su Yu were still alive, there was nothing he could do to him, unless a high-stage Sun-Moon cultivator came to shatter this defense.

And since he had utilized so many divine talismans, the ancestor of the Five Elements Race should have sensed it and might come to save him. Of course, inside the ancient city, an Invincible might not necessarily come.

Futu Ling felt utterly helpless. At this moment, having sealed himself within the mud and earth, he looked outward, wanting to see whether Su Yu was dead or not!

Could two divine talismans truly fail to kill you?

I don't believe it!

Fine, very quickly, he believed it.

They truly couldn't kill him.

Su Yu's flesh and blood were incinerated, but they continuously regenerated. Not only that, Su Yu swiftly retreated from the room, shutting the door behind him to shield himself from further burning by the flames.

Outside the door, on the street.

Su Yu continuously absorbed the energy, using the Five Elements Divine Art to swallow these forces, his one hundred and eighty divine apertures endlessly absorbing the power, absorbing that sword qi, absorbing those flames...

And the little ball had returned to his sea of consciousness at some unknown point, looking somewhat listless. It had just taken a punch from Futu Ling and was in a great deal of pain.

At this moment, it also cautiously ate a tiny bit of the flame, and quickly began rolling around the ground.

Delicious, but painful!

Su Yu continuously wore down these energies. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he re-entered the room to prevent anyone from sensing the massive dispersion of energy here and coming to investigate.

Flames and sword qi ceaselessly scorched and assailed his flesh and will-sea!

The 180 divine apertures, however, blazed ever brighter!

Absorb, devour!

A vast torrent of willpower was absorbed by him, and along with it, some of the immortal clan’s divine apertures he had discovered earlier were now swiftly opening.

Devour!

His flesh, too, was being continuously strengthened.

Of course, the prerequisite was consuming a massive amount of celestial vitality; Su Yu’s celestial vitality was already scarce, and now, under such fierce consumption, it seemed on the verge of depletion.

In the room, that clod of earth still remained.

Futu Ling was now trapped within it, having sealed himself.

And this time, none of the ancestors communicated with him.

Because this was within the ancient city; even an Invincible could not cross time and space to teleport directly here, nor even spy—unless the Invincible came in person.

……

After about two hours.

Su Yu opened his eyes, his throat hoarse, and laughed—a rasping laugh—as he looked at the clod of earth, “You couldn’t kill me!”

Futu Ling’s face now emerged on the clod, and he sighed, “You don’t just wield the Five Elements Divine Script; you possess a special technique, perhaps a power of the same origin as ours. Su Yu… am I right?”

He had lost his bet!

Su Yu had not dissolved it with the Five Elements Divine Script, but with an extremely unique technique!

As Su Yu continuously cycled this technique, Futu Ling had glimpsed something—perhaps… it was a divine art related to the Five Elements.

He said no more; Su Yu was not lightly injured, but none of the wounds were fatal—they could be healed.

He was in deep trouble!

Nevertheless, Futu Ling was unwilling to concede, and spoke: “You cannot kill me! Two Invincible divine talismans, water and earth fused, form the strongest defense under heaven. Only an Invincible can break through and kill me… Su Yu, if I die, all the Invincibles of the Five Elements Clan will strike to kill you. You gain nothing by killing me, and will only invite the vengeance of the entire Five Elements Clan. I am the hope of the Five Elements Clan—you should be able to see that…”

At this point, he could not help but ask, “Why must you kill me?”

Damn it, what deep-seated enmity do we even have?

To kill him, this guy had taken great risks himself, even chasing him all the way to the ancient city—how grudging could he be!

Su Yu thought for a moment, then said hoarsely, “It’s not that I must kill you, but that you might expose my identity!”

“…”

Fuck!

Go to hell!

Futu Ling was nearly breaking down—are you serious?

If that’s the worry… how unjust am I!

Don’t you bullshit me!

“Weren’t you coveting my Five Elements Heart?”

“What’s that?”

Futu Ling collapsed—you don’t even know what the Five Elements Heart is, yet you came to kill me?

“Then were you jealous of my talent?”

“Heh!”

“Or perhaps you coveted my heroic bearing?”

Su Yu ignored him—what a lunatic!

Me, covet you?

Me, jealous of you?

I truly came after you just to avoid exposing my identity.

At that moment, within the will-sea, two forces were still erupting, but Su Yu had already worn down most of them. The corpse of the Sun-Moon Eighth Layer was now considerably damaged, yet even dead, a Sun-Moon Eighth Layer corpse had self-healing abilities.

Su Yu was not too concerned; this kind of injury was actually good—it masked the singular wounds left by Xia Longwu’s killing, and later, with some death qi corrosion, it would appear even more convincing.

This time, his physical enhancement was not great—not like the life force from the wooden thorns before—but Su Yu’s main gain was not this. Instead, his will-sea had been forcibly blasted open somewhat, expanded.

Including the thirty-two divine apertures from the technique he had obtained from the immortal clan, sixteen had now been opened—half of them—and the original 180 divine apertures all felt much stronger.

They also carried a sharp force and a flame force.

Of course, these forces had to be worn away, lest the Five Elements Clan ancestors detect and track him.

The benefits to the will-sea were considerable, though it was somewhat injured and needed time to mend.

As for the flesh, this time there was no great harvest—just completing thirty castings.

Not much use!

Su Yu now realized his calculations had been wrong; unless Futu Ling’s attacks were all wooden thorns brimming with life force, they could not help him better forge his body. Among the Five Elements Clan, perhaps only the Wood Spirit Clan could aid his body-forging.

Thirty-cast flesh…

Calculated, his physical power had officially exceeded 30,000 apertures, but it had not reached his expectations. Four divine talismans had been activated; two were used by this guy for defense, and the other two had only increased his casting by one step.

Of course, once his will-sea was fully healed, his willpower would surge greatly.

Moreover, if before Su Yu’s will-sea was only comparable to the peak of the Cloud Soaring realm, now, after this expansion, it truly matched the Mountain Sea realm.

Roughly the same as Zhao Li before his breakthrough.

And Zhao Li had taken many years to achieve that.

Su Yu silently absorbed the last of the power. After a moment, he stood and punched the clod of earth—not a single sound.

Su Yu was not surprised, but asked with some curiosity, “Futu Ling, you’ve trapped yourself to death. The Invincibles can’t enter the ancient city—aren’t you just killing yourself?”

Futu Ling said nothing.

Mind your own business!

I’m happy with it!

Damn it, if you hadn’t forced me, would I have resorted to this?

He quickly said, “What was that thing that devoured my willpower? A divine script, or a beast?”

A very strange thing!

It was precisely because he had sensed the threat of that thing that he had to activate the divine talismans swiftly; any later, he feared he would have lost even the ability to activate them!

Now, at least he had sealed himself.

Su Yu could not break this defense!

Su Yu ignored him, tried again—the Five Elements Divine Script appeared, fire burned, blade slashed… none could break it.

He also attempted to absorb those two forces using the 180 divine apertures…

After the fusion of water and earth, he found himself unable to absorb it.

Floating Earth Spirit said calmly, "I knew you might have the ability to absorb energy, so I deliberately sealed myself with the combined power of water and earth. Thus, the power mutates, and you can do nothing to me!"

Su Yu laughed, "Your mouth is tough! Even in this state, you're still so arrogant!"

Then, smiling, he added, "I can roughly see one thing: you can't break this sealing power yourself, but it won't last long—about a month, and it will dissipate on its own..."

Floating Earth Spirit was silent. You're right.

In a month, I'll be able to get out.

And within that month, a strong practitioner of the Five Elements Clan will surely come to rescue him—if not an Invincible, then at least a Sun or Moon.

Su Yu sneered, "You're dreaming! Before any strong practitioner of your Five Elements Clan comes to save you, I'll send you to a death zone!"

"Death zone?"

Floating Earth Spirit said leisurely, "You can't take me out of the city. If you do, the Five Elements Clan's Invincible will arrive quickly. If you don't leave the city... where can you send me?"

"Send you where?"

Su Yu laughed, "Send you to the City Lord's Mansion! That dark dragon there is very domineering. If I use you to smash him, do you think he won't beat you to death?"

A clod of earth is still a good choice for throwing!

Floating Earth Spirit said calmly, "You wouldn't dare, and you won't. Su Yu, you've been hunting me all this time because you're afraid I'll expose your identity. But if I get out, this seal can bind my body, but not my voice. Soon, everyone will know you are Su Yu!"

"Even that dark dragon doesn't have the power to kill me instantly. The moment the seal breaks, I'll have enough time to shout it across the entire city!"

Su Yu nodded. That's not wrong.

This guy is indeed troublesome.

Now he can't be broken, can't be taken away—quite a hassle.

But if locked in a house, that might work.

With the door shut, the Five Elements Clan can't get in either, though one must be careful if someone uses an ancient city token to open it.

Unless... he sends this guy to a more inner ancient house and locks him up.

Su Yu's heart stirred, "Floating Earth Spirit, do you want to live or die?"

"You can't kill me!"

Floating Earth Spirit was wary. Su Yu laughed, "Are you sure? I still have a Fifth-Generation Divine Inscription. Are you certain I can't kill you?"

"..."

Well, not so certain anymore.

Floating Earth Spirit was resigned. He actually thought Su Yu didn't have it, but he couldn't be sure.

After a moment of silence, "What exactly do you want?"

"Nothing much—just stay in seclusion for a while!"

Su Yu said with a grin, "You're a man of great fortune, hard to kill—I've felt it. Killing you might provoke the entire Five Elements Clan—I've felt that too. The Five Elements Clan will probably send someone to rescue you... but you're locked in an ancient house, and they can't get in, so you'll have to save yourself."

"When the sealing power fades, you can open the door and leave. I've checked—even death energy can barely penetrate this seal, right?"

Floating Earth Spirit was frustrated. Is that really all?

Just not letting me out?

What is Su Yu up to!

Su Yu didn't bother to say more, "I'm going to move you to an inner ancient house. Once you're out, I'll seal off the sound around you. Don't think about shouting—it's useless. Floating Earth Spirit, if you want to live, behave yourself. How about it?"

Floating Earth Spirit quickly replied, "Su Yu, you and I have never crossed paths—it's always been you coming after me... If you don't want to die together, I naturally don't want to die either!"

"That's best. I told you, killing you isn't the goal... I need you to stay in seclusion for a month!"

Su Yu smiled, but inwardly he was cautious—there was still risk.

What if this guy broke the seal himself?

From what he could see, it seemed he could only self-seal, but who knew if he was faking it.

Actually, it would be best to have Little Furball guard him.

But if Little Furball guarded him, then Tianduo's Sea of Will would be in the ancient house, and if the demons came looking, they might detect something unusual.

Su Yu glanced at the clod of earth, thought for a moment, and decided he could add a bit more sealing.

At least buy a few days to keep this guy from getting out!

By the time he got out, Su Yu's business would be done—who cared then!

Without further ado, Su Yu quickly sketched a Five Elements Purgatory, then enveloped it with a Shadow Barrier. Soon, he deployed various means, first moving this guy.

Move him to the inner ring!

Let the Five Elements Clan know he's here but be unable to find or rescue him.

Besides, they probably only roughly detected his location—in the ancient city, they might not know exactly where he is. Let them search!

Floating Earth Spirit was definitely a man of great fortune, at least in Su Yu's opinion.

At this critical moment, he could still protect himself—such people are too hard to kill.

Even Moduona and the like would be hard to kill!

Everyone has some life-saving tricks.

But Su Yu didn't mind. Hard to kill was relative—at the Invincible level, there was no hard-to-kill in the Lingyun Mountains and Seas.

In the end, it was a matter of insufficient strength.

If he were strong enough, he'd break the seal directly and slap this guy to death!

Soon, Su Yu turned the sealed clod of earth into a big black ball.

The next moment, he carried the big black ball out of the ancient house and quickly headed toward the inner ring.

In the night, no one was outside, even though Su Yu had made quite a commotion earlier.

He kept walking inward, soon entering the first ring.

He tried pushing each house one by one. Some houses, even if empty, were hard to enter; others were accessible, usually those that had been occupied before, likely without any fortune.

Such houses held only danger, only death energy.

Su Yu pushed dozens of houses until finally one opened—empty.

He locked Floating Earth Spirit inside. If Floating Earth Spirit didn't open the door, no one outside could get in.

Unless someone held the first ring's ancient city token.

He hid the big black ball deep in the ancient house and set up some simple traps around it, including a few weapons. If the black ball broke open, the weapons would explode, and he would sense it.

That way, he could prevent this guy from escaping without his knowledge.

Floating Earth Spirit, wrapped in the Shadow Barrier, couldn't transmit his voice and was helpless. What was this guy doing?

Now he had no idea where he was or how dangerous it was.

And this guy—chasing him, impersonating Tianduo, and just now pulling out a powerful corpse—what was all this about?

Unable to learn more, he felt a grim resolve: if he escaped this time, next time he ran into that guy... he'd just flee outright!

And what's more, the divine talismans of the Five Elements Ancestor were useless!

As things stood now, it seemed only offensive divine talismans would do. He'd thought earlier that defensive ones were better, but now Floating Earth Spirit regretted it—if all four talismans had been offensive, maybe Su Yu would have been done for.

Of course, Su Yu thought he was hard to kill, and he thought Su Yu was hard to kill too; even if all had been offensive, they might not have slain Su Yu.

Troublesome!

And that thing that suddenly devoured his willpower—what in the world was it?

He recalled some legends, but wasn't too sure.

Had that clan... not vanished?

Could their legacy have emerged as well?

And had it hooked up with Su Yu?

What else could silently devour his willpower but the Devourer God Clan?

He sucked in a cold breath. That clan was the natural enemy of the Five Elements Clan, a great foe—because the Five Elements Clan were civilization masters. Even if an ancestor encountered their invincible, it was a matter of fleeing for life. Against the Devourer God Clan at the same rank, the Five Elements Clan was almost certainly dead, with no way to resist.

...

Su Yu paid no heed to all this. Soon, he had everything arranged.

With some helplessness, he walked out of the ancient house and closed the door. By now, he couldn't even enter himself.

Earlier, when they'd gone in together, he could still get in.

Now that someone was inside, unless Floating Earth Spirit opened the door himself, or forced it open—but Su Yu obviously lacked the ability to force open the innermost ancient house.

"Everything is ready!"

He took a deep breath. At least so far, everything was in place.

That swindling plan could officially begin.

He had to finish everything before Floating Earth Spirit came out, then make his getaway.

"Two days now, it should be about ripe!"

Su Yu thought to himself. In the city, there was a branch of the Hunter Heaven Pavilion, a branch of the Myriad Realms Treasure Pavilion... How about auctioning it right here in the ancient city?

Here, no fighting was allowed, so it was the safest.

He hadn't planned to auction in the ancient city before, but now it seemed the ancient city might suit him better.

...

Daybreak.

Few paid attention to what had happened in the ancient city the night before. In the night, any commotion in the ancient city was unremarkable.

But at dawn, the ancient city was in an uproar!

Yes, at the city gate, Su Yu walked in openly. Some residents, some refugees, all saw Su Yu—no, they saw Tian Duo!

Now, the entire Nine Star Island knew he had gained benefits and was looking for him!

Su Yu had actually come to the ancient city—was he seeking refuge?

At this moment, without Su Yu having to seek them out, several strong figures from the Hunter Heaven Pavilion, the Myriad Realms Treasure Pavilion, and the Thousand Domain Alliance arrived in haste.

Su Yu wasted no words and said coldly, "Tell everyone: I am auctioning the corpse of an ancient invincible, including the cultivation method, ancient divine script, and ancient divine weapon—all for auction. I want nothing else but resources, all kinds of heavenly treasures. The day after tomorrow, I will auction in the ancient city. If anyone thinks they can kill me here in the ancient city, feel free to try!"

At this, a white-masked figure suddenly said, "Is that truly the corpse of an ancient invincible?"

Su Yu said flatly, "Judge for yourselves. But let me say this: the important thing this time is not the corpse. To me, the most important thing is the ancient cultivation method. I discovered a huge secret—the method this ancient invincible practiced doesn't require acupoints at all, only breathing. That means any race can cultivate it..."

"Ancient breathing method?"

In that instant, sharp intakes of breath came from the mouths of the several leaders.

Breathing method!

Several strong figures all changed color.

The next moment, someone immediately rushed out of the city and quickly sent a message afar!

The ancient breathing method, long vanished, had reappeared!

Su Yu was a little surprised—so excited, you know about it?

Good. Knowing is better than not knowing.

Su Yu took a deep breath. Whether he could rake in a fortune depended on the auction to come!

PS: On the 9th, I had a daughter. Thank you all for your blessings. Thank you, everyone. All is well. I will resume updates today!
