Tribulation of Myriad Races Chapter 687: Heavenly Phenomenon (2)

Chapter 687: Heavenly Phenomenon (2)

At this moment, Zhu Tiandao was blanking out as well. He had just realized the same thing. That man was not a prop. He was certain that this was a random commoner from the crowd.

Thus, he also became somewhat absent-minded. He had forgotten what it was like for regular cultivators. Or to be precise, he had not experienced what it was like for those people. That was such a large improvement.

People like Zhu Tiandao would rarely get in contact with anyone cultivating something worse than the War God Art with 72 acupoints. Thus, they didn’t have a clear picture of what it was like for the common people. But today, they had all realized this.

The eyes of the middle-aged man were brimming with tears of excitement. Source qi was constantly converging around him. Suddenly, an acupoint that he had been working on recently shook before erupting with a bright light. It had been opened.

The middle-aged man exclaimed in joy, “This is so fast! An acupoint is opened already! Previously, I thought that this acupoint would take me 10 more days to open! But it has actually opened suddenly. Grandmaster Su, when are you releasing this cultivation method? I must get a copy for myself!”

The surrounding people were shocked.

One of them shouted, “Hey, that’s my neighbor. Old Chen, were you paid to say these words?”

The middle-aged man cursed, “Bullshit! Even if they’re going to pay someone to do this, why would they pay someone like me? There must be some other people out there with these acupoints open as well. These aren’t rare acupoints. Those cultivating the Great Strength Art and the Tiger Rush Saber will have these acupoints opened. You can try this cultivation method for yourself!”

The crowd grew noisier. Someone yelled, “Old Liu, you have those acupoints opened, right? Give it a try!”

“Old Huang, try it out!”

On the stage, Su Yu smiled and waited patiently.

Before long, more people in the crowd started trying out the new cultivation method. All of them appeared rather excited. Was it really that incredible? The process of linking the acupoints wasn’t too difficult. In a short while, about seven or eight of them completed the process.

Then, they started absorbing source qi. Exclamations instantly rang out, “Holy shit! This is so fast!”

“Triple the speed my ass. This is five times the speed!”

“What cultivation method is this? Why is it so powerful? Wouldn’t I be able to open an acupoint a day with this?”

The crowd was going crazy.

Since more and more people were saying the same thing, it was clear that this cultivation method was the real deal.

On the stage, Su Yu smiled and said, “Everyone, the Source Soul Acupoint Opening Art is not the only reason for the massive increase in speed. Don’t forget that this is also a heaven-grade cultivation method. The first stage is only around 10 percent faster than a different heaven-grade cultivation method. At the ninth stage, you will achieve roughly double the speed of a regular heaven-grade method. At that time, you can cultivate the fusion art to rapidly fuse your acupoints and enter the Infinite Strength Realm.

“From the first-stage Great Strength Realm, you can open 126 acupoints before opening the 18 remaining acupoints of the fusion art. All in all, you will take a year or two to open 44 acupoints. Of course, this will require a lot of source qi so you need to be ready for that.”

Nobody was worried. Instead, they were all overjoyed. Heaven-grade cultivation method? That wasn’t something they could even cultivate before this. For these people, they were stuck with yellow and profound grades. They didn’t know how fast the regular heaven-grade methods were to cultivate. They only knew that this new cultivation method was fast.

***

Among the crowd.

Some people were stealthily trying the first stage of the new cultivation method as well. And all these people were alarmed.

Outside the city.

Some individuals were starting to receive voice transmissions.

“The Source Soul Acupoint Opening Art is too terrifying. It is three to five times faster than a yellow-grade cultivation method. This has been proven on the spot. It is the real deal.”

“It makes acupoint opening much easier. Some people have instantly opened new acupoints on the spot.”

“It allows one to enter the Infinite Strength Realm in a year or two. It will take about two to three years to create a ninth-stage Infinite Strength cultivator of a heaven-grade method.”

“Lord, this thing is too terrifying.”

“The armies of the various prefectures might all switch to this new cultivation method before long.”

“Lord, the spread of this cultivation method will greatly increase the strength of all human warriors.”

All the experts were shaken by what they heard from their subordinates.

If only one or two people were saying the same thing, it was possible for it to be a mistake. But since everyone was saying the same thing, they couldn’t help but acknowledge that Su Yu was going to release a truly shocking cultivation method.

Apart from those people, the ambassadors of the various prefectures were all busy sending voice transmission messages as well. They all urged their respective prefecture to send some people over to negotiate the purchase of this cultivation method.

This new cultivation method was too good. They had personally witnessed how even those common cultivators were able to rapidly increase their source qi absorption speed. The processing rate of the absorbed source qi was very impressive as well. These ambassadors were people with sharp eyes, so they were able to instantly see the value of this new cultivation method.

Those cult spies were right. Before long, humanity would welcome a bunch of ninth-stage Infinite Strength cultivtors of a heaven-grade method. Even if entering the Skysoar Realm wouldn’t be too easy for many people, these people would still be ninth-stage Infinite Strength warriors capable of releasing the strength of around 200 acupoints.

Such ninth-stage Infinite Strength warriors were completely different from Skysoars with only 36 acupoints and 9 forgings. Essentially, this new cultivation method would grant everyone the strength to punch above their class. Cheers erupted all around the stage.

“Grandmaster Su, when are you releasing this cultivation method?”

“Grandmaster Su, can you try activating all the acupoints and show us the source qi absorption speed? Just how fast can this cultivation method be?”

Nobody could stop talking.

Su Yu grinned. He had not expected the response to be so positive.

He activated 126 of his acupoints and said, “In that case, let me make a demonstration.”

Right after saying that, a large amount of ambient source qi converged around him.

Great Ming was a prefecture with thick source qi density. And a storm of source qi had been created around Su Yu. Instead of absorbing the source qi, a drop of source qi liquid instantly took form in front of Su Yu. All the onlookers were dumbstruck.

“This…with this cultivation method, even if I do nothing but form source qi liquid every day, I can make a good living.”

“This cultivation method requires a large amount of source qi. Would we suck Great Ming dry in the future?”

“Who knows? Either way, I’m not going to miss out on this cultivation method.”

When Su Yu activated the Source Soul Acupoint Opening Art without holding back, he reached an astonishing cultivation speed. Upstodatee from n(0)/v𝒆/lbIn/.(co/m

After a moment, he said, “As for the release, if everything moves smoothly, distribution will start in Great Ming next month. As a researcher of Great Ming, I’ll naturally prioritize Great Ming. Don’t worry about the price. It’s quite cheap. The Source Soul Cultural Art is actually a lot more valuable at a price of 100 merit points. As for the Source Soul Acupoint Opening Art, I’ll be selling it at around 80 merit points. With the special discount for those in Great Ming, you can get it for about 60 merit points.

“The military can probably get it for about 20 merit points. Additionally, the academies will also be allowed to purchase the distribution rights limited within their own academies. A lot of new students can’t afford something like this. For example, the basic edition of the War God Art is mostly distributed for free within the various academies. We can reach a similar deal. I only wish that everyone can benefit from the Source Soul Acupoint Opening Art.

“This is merely the start. I fully believe that in the future, the Source Soul Research Center will release even more cultivation methods. We will help everyone grow strong and grow fast!

“We are currently working on an aperture fusion art and the source soul acupoint that can skip the entire Source Opening Realm. Perhaps we will be able to produce something soon. Many years in the future, our children will be able to start cultivating at 10, reach the Infinite Strength Realm at 12, reach the Skysoar Realm at 15, reach the Cloudbreach Realm at 20, and reach the Mountainsea Realm at 30. This will be the normal state of human cultivators.

“At that time, everyone could be a Mountainsea. I can’t promise anything about the Sunmoon and Eternal Realms, but I can at least guarantee that everyone can reach the Mountainsea Realm.

“Trust me. Trust the Source Soul Research Center. Today, I am here not only to promote the Source Soul Acupoint Opening Art. I am also here to forge my body and enter the Skysoar Realm. I am slowly starting to sense the existence of the source soul acupoint. I hope that I can use this breakthrough as the chance to discover this acupoint.” “If I am successful, all cultivators in the world will benefit. This is why the prefect and the others are acting as my dao protectors today. As for why I’m doing this in public, it’s because I want everyone to see the truth.”

With a wave of his hand, Su Yu tossed out a ring. The ring rapidly enlarged. With laugh, Su Yu said, “I won’t show everyone the entire process in detail. I’m afraid that you all will get jealous after seeing the divine and devil blood essence I’m using.”

“Hahaha!”

The crowd laughed at the joke. They didn’t really mind. They only wanted to see the result. All of them were getting excited. Could the source soul acupoint be discovered today? Just how strong would Su Yu be after his body forging?

***

After stepping into the ring, Su Yu activated the formation. Those on the outside could no longer get a clear look at his body. They could only see a vague silhouette inside the ring. After inhaling deeply, Su Yu sat down cross-legged. He wasted no time and took out a large ball and wrapped himself in the ball.

Then, he took out some divine and devil blood essence. This was all a show to mislead anyone watching. Then, he activated the 72-Forged Iron Devourer art and started absorbing the heavenly source qi inside the large ball.

At this time, from a concealed position.

Niu Baidao sent his voice transmission to several Sunmoons, “Get ready. The moment Su Yu completes his body forging, release the fake phenomenon. Make sure to keep it active for an extended period of time. Follow our original plan. The phenomenon needs to appear in stages. It also needs to look real. We can’t let anyone notice that it’s fake.”

Niu Baidao was also getting quite excited. Su Yu had successfully attracted a lot of attention after talking about the source soul acupoint. Those cultists were probably losing their patience about now, right?

Or perhaps they were still worried and hesitating. Time to give them more reason to show up.

Great Ming was fully prepared for what was to come.

As for Su Yu, he fully immersed himself in the absorption of his heavenly source qi. According to his judgment, the first forging wouldn’t be completed so quickly. Even with sufficient heavenly source qi, it would take him a few days.

Of course, he had actually partially forged his body during the past two days. That way, he would be able to complete his forging today. To hasten the process, he was not holding back. While forging his body, he was also linking his 180 apertures. He had a feeling that something might change today if he could link the 180 apertures. Perhaps the source soul acupoint might really appear.

145…155…

Slowly, the apertures were linked together.

At the same time, his 360 acupoints had been fused into 9 acupoints that were shining brightly.

Eventually, Su Yu started sensing a massive pressure. The pressure was affecting both his willpower and physical body. As more and more apertures were linked together, he felt like he was opening the path toward a certain destination. Before he knew it, 179 apertures had been linked. Only the final aperture remained.

“My willpower won’t reach the Skysoar Realm first, right?”

After thinking about it, Su Yu decided that it didn’t matter. If his willpower really advanced, he could further hasten his body forging process. After all, the advancement would create a small window where his source qi absorption speed would be greatly boosted.

And finally, all 180 apertures were joined together.

Success!

At that exact moment, the sky changed.

The wind rose.

A gale blew past.

Multi-colored light covered the sky. Rain started falling. The plants on the ground flourished. Up in the sky, clumps of flame appeared. Down below, the ground shook.

Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Five elements joined as one.

For the very first time since the ancient collapse, the Five Elemental Arts had rejoined.

The heavens produced a phenomenon.

The heavens refused to allow this to happen.

Rumble!

Even further above, beyond the multicolored sky, thunders rumbled.

Something, somewhere, seemed to have taken note of this place.

Every single person present felt a sense of oppression. They all looked up in shock. What was happening?

***

Somewhere hidden.

Niu Baidao blinked as he sent a voice transmission, “Why did you guys produce something like this as well? Is this an additional phenomenon?”

He didn’t actually mean what he said.

Even Niu Baidao himself could feel the sense of oppression from the heavens. Was this…a real heavenly phenomenon?

Niu Baidao swallowed. This shouldn’t be the case! The whole thing had just started! Su Yu hadn’t even started forging his body! He wasn’t even a Skysoar yet! And this did not make any sense.

Such a heavenly phenomenon had never been seen before. Clumps of flame had appeared out of nowhere in the sky. Rain was falling only on the stage. Meanwhile, the plants around Su Yu continued growing. Every single weapon in the area was shaking. Some of the weapons were shaking exceptionally hard.

Zhu Tiandao’s expression changed repeatedly as he asked Niu Baidao, “Is this your work?”

“Nonsense!”

Niu Baidao cursed. This wasn’t something he could produce even if he wanted to. The gale was growing stronger and stronger.

The wind turned berserk as it revolved around the small ring Su Yu was in.

“What’s this?”

All the onlookers were stunned. Some of them were holding onto their weapons, preventing the weapons from flying away. One of them asked, “Prefect, what’s going on?”

Zhu Tiandao shouted, “Silence. This is normal. Don’t worry about it.”

Normal your ass!

Everyone rolled their eyes. Who would create a scene like this when breaking through into the Skysoar Realm? Was this supposed to be funny?

At the same time.

Outside the city.

Numerous experts were looking in the direction of Tiandu while frowning. Just what the hell was this? They had all seen the flames and lightning in the sky. They could also feel a sense of oppression. What was that?

“Heavenly phenomenon!”

“Producing a heavenly phenomenon at a Skysoar breakthrough?”

“It has just started? He has yet to complete his breakthrough?”

“He produced a phenomenon right after starting the breakthrough?”

They were all shocked. What was the meaning of this? If such a phenomenon had been created from the very beginning, wouldn’t something more shocking appear later? And they were right. The flames in the sky grew brighter. Fire and water mixed together as the clumps of flame and rain coexisted in the sky.

All the experts outside the city were starting to lose their calm. Just what was going on? Should they enter the city and take a look for themselves? This was too shocking. That sense of oppression was slowly spreading. Was this a blessing from the heavens? Or was this a punishment?

At that very moment, countless voice transmissions were sent in and out of Tiandu.

“Su Yu created a heavenly phenomenon right at the start of his breakthrough. Wind, fire, and lightning filled the sky. Plants are growing rapidly while all weapons are trembling uncontrollably.”

“This is merely the beginning. He has yet to complete his breakthrough.”

“Lord, we don’t understand what’s happening. Numerous Sunmoons are on alert.”

Outside the city, the expressions of the hidden experts changed repeatedly. Sunmoons were starting to rise around Su Yu to form a defensive perimeter.

“Should I go?”

Some were tempted. This was something that would not happen even in several hundred years. Should they take a look at something so rare? This phenomenon might be a prelude to something bigger.

They might still be able to see something from afar earlier, but now that the Sunmoons in the city were starting to form a defensive perimeter, their pryings would be detected. Thus, it would be safer for them to actually enter the city and take a look with their naked eyes.

“Should I sneak into the city and watch from afar? Those Sunmoons are too busy to pay attention to us anyway.”

Some were tempted while some started moving. They had decided to personally take a look.
