Chapter 293: Crush Mountainsea, Suppress Sunmoon, Battle Invincible (1)

Research Center.

Su Yu opened the Mountainsea Peace Seeking Stratagem. Many characters filled the pages.

He spent some time admiring the writing. He had to admit, his grandteacher’s writing was truly exquisite. At the very least, it was far superior to Bai Feng’s.

When he attempted to infuse his willpower into the book, nothing happened.

The only sensation he felt was a simple, weighty presence emanating from the characters, a clear indication that they were penned by a Mountainsea expert. Beyond that, he felt nothing.

“Is there even a martial technique in this thing?”

Su Yu worried. Even Hong Tan had found nothing after so many years. If a martial technique truly existed here, it must have been written by a Sunmoon, or even an Eternal.

In any case, such an expert would be far stronger than his grandteacher.

He extracted a drop of silkwrym blood essence. Taking a deep breath, he dripped it onto the book. Immediately, his vision blurred.

When he opened his eyes again, he was no longer in the research center. His surroundings were utterly empty. Then, a towering, muscular man materialized before him. He appeared to be forty or fifty years old. His eyes held a vacant stare, but when he saw Su Yu, a spark of life ignited within them.

“A human?”

Su Yu was taken aback. What?

“Do not be surprised. I am merely a fragment of willpower left behind. Since you have reached this place, fate has brought us together. This technique once belonged to a non-human. Is that person deceased?”

“No…”

“It does not matter.” The man spoke little. He looked at Su Yu and said solemnly, “This technique is called Time.”

Time?

Su Yu was still bewildered. Where was this? Was this a space within the willpower text? Someone was actually here? Certainly, there were beings within willpower texts, but they had never spoken to him before! And the one before him could actually communicate!

“Time, a technique that can pursue the flow of time, break through the cycle of reincarnation, chase the stars, overtake the moon, reach the future in a single step, and return to the past with the next…”

Wow, that was… quite the boast.

Su Yu was speechless. Just who was the creator of this technique? Such a braggart!

“Peak middle-tier heaven-grade martial technique. 132 acupoints. Capable of crushing Mountainseas. Capable of suppressing Sunmoons.”

Su Yu listened silently. Sure, sure, keep bragging. This fellow was an Invincible, of course he could crush Mountainseas and suppress Sunmoons. Alas, Su Yu was not an Invincible. So he wouldn’t be able to do so.

This was a middle-tier heaven-grade martial technique. Yes, it was truly very powerful. But the cultivator and their cultivation level were also crucial.

“There are only three levels to this technique. Each level requires 44 acupoints. The first level, Crushing Mountainsea. The second level, Suppressing Sunmoon. The third level, Battling Invincible.”

“…”

Su Yu was stunned. Those names…were truly overbearing. But he feared that the moment he spoke those names, he would be beaten to death. He truly wanted to roll his eyes at the creator of this technique.

He couldn’t help but recall Liu Wenyan’s words. Some Invincible experts, when young, had a serious eighth-grade syndrome. Thus, they would give all sorts of grandiose names to their techniques.

For example, there was the Sky Sundering Countless Saber. This person’s naming sense was just as bad as the creator of the Sky Sundering Countless Saber.

Su Yu feared that when he yelled the names of these moves in battle, nearby Mountainseas and Sunmoons would hear him and attack him.

“44 acupoints per level. With this technique, fighting above your level is not a problem. As a Great Strength cultivator, fight Infinite Strength cultivators. As an Infinite Strength cultivator, fight Skysoar cultivators.”

“…”

The middle-aged man continued speaking while Su Yu listened silently. Eventually, the world around him changed again. Numerous points of light appeared on the middle-aged man’s legs. These were acupoints.

“First level, Crushing Mountainsea. After opening 44 acupoints in both legs, these acupoints can be linked into an independent system. This is a system I have created after years of research.”

Once again, the middle-aged man started bragging. He was essentially talking about how strong this technique was, promising that with only the first level, one would have no trouble fighting above one’s level.

And one only needed 44 acupoints to possess such prowess.

Comparing the acupoints with his own, Su Yu rejoiced. “Twenty of these acupoints overlap with the War God Art!”

In other words, he only needed to open 24 acupoints for the first level.

As Su Yu listened, he suddenly felt dizzy. His willpower…had been completely drained. His vision swam again. He returned to his original location.

The Mountainsea Peace Seeking Stratagem had returned to its original state, while the drop of blood essence had been completely absorbed.

“This…”

Su Yu was about to praise the technique when an intense headache erupted. He had drained too much willpower. And in his willpower sea, his willpower was recovering and growing simultaneously.

Su Yu blanked out.

Invincible!

This was a willpower text written by an Invincible! No wonder he had completely drained his willpower in such a short time. But despite the immense exhaustion, his willpower was recovering rapidly.

“This…is so powerful!”

Su Yu was overjoyed. He felt this text was a better willpower trainer than even the fragment room.

Also…this was a willpower text! Su Yu thought of something else. This was a willpower text written by an Invincible. In that case, could he form a Divine Character from it?

“I probably can’t do it now. The Divine Character formed from this text could probably defeat me all by itself.”

Su Yu recalled how even two of his Divine Characters had nearly failed to subdue a single kill character previously. In that case, what would happen if it was a character written by an Invincible? He even wondered if the character would be at the second tier the moment it formed.

“Time. First level, Crushing Mountainsea.”

Su Yu exhaled. What a domineering name. However, he was definitely incapable of crushing Mountainseas.

“And I need a lot of willpower to study this technique.”

A drop of Great Strength blood essence hadn’t allowed him to study it for long. Silkwrym blood essence was definitely not cheap. In fact, it was very expensive.

“A human technique that can only be activated with silkwrym blood essence. Just how much does this person hate the silkwrym race? Has the creator of this technique been beaten up by the silkwrym race before?”

Su Yu couldn’t help but suspect as much.

At the same time.

Human Realm.

On the top of a towering building.

Two figures were drinking tea and playing chess.

Suddenly, one of them looked south and frowned, “Who activated my Time technique?”

“Huh?” The burly man asked in astonishment, “I thought that technique was taken by an outsider a few years ago? If that’s the case, why are you looking at the Human Realm?”

“It’s in the Human Realm.” The middle-aged man replied, “Is that fellow dead? Has the technique been snatched back by a human? My poor student. Finally, someone has avenged him.”

The burly man laughed, “So? Do you want to take it back?”

“Forget it. Consider it my gift for avenging my student.” The middle-aged man smiled, “I wonder who took it. I hope it’s not a talentless person. That would be a stain on my reputation. But someone capable of killing an enemy from a different race is probably not weak. That person should probably be quite talented.”

The middle-aged man’s tone turned cold, “The Luminous Domain Mansion is going to be opened again soon. This time, I will send some people inside and butcher more people to soothe the soul of my student.”

The burly man laughed, “Calm down. You’re not young anymore. Your student wasn’t strong enough. There’s nothing you can do if he was killed because of that. Also, your Time technique isn’t really that special. But I can admit that it has an amazing name.”

“Not that special?” The middle-aged man snorted, “I can send you back 100 years into the past with one kick. Do you want to give it a try?”

“Hehe. Sure, give it a try.” The burly man smirked, “If you can really send me 100 years into the past, I’ll burn some incense to you and worship you like you’re a god.”

“…”

The middle-aged man ignored the remark and returned to the chess game. After a while, he said, “The Silkwrym King has been in hiding recently. When we have the chance, help me ambush that fellow…”

“It has been hundreds of years…” The burly man was speechless, “Are you still holding on to that grudge? You were only swallowed once. You didn’t even lose anything from that experience…”

“Hmph!” The middle-aged man resentfully said, “He will pay for having the guts to swallow me!”

The burly man couldn’t be bothered to respond.

How petty.

How many years had it been? Even the Silkwrym King was tired of this person. Any time this person showed himself, the Silkwrym King would withdraw. Yet this person had been very persistent.

Su Yu, naturally unaware of this exchange, felt his willpower recovering rapidly. A short while later, he opened his eyes, a smile spreading across his face. His willpower seemed to have grown slightly. This felt similar to his experience when he first entered the fragment room.

“Invincible…”

He didn’t know if the creator was an Invincible or a Sunmoon, but considering the names of the moves like Suppressing Sunmoon and Battling Invincible, that person was most likely an Invincible.

“I only need 24 acupoints. I can give it a try. After all, I still have quite a lot of mountainbreak bull blood essence left.”

Su Yu decided to re-enter the grotto and open all 24 acupoints of this technique. He aimed to complete the first level. It should be quite a powerful move.

“Purchase silkwrym blood essence and five elemental race blood essence…”

Su Yu felt the urge to enter seclusion immediately. He truly wanted to see just how strong a heaven-grade martial technique was. He still lacked a truly strong offensive technique. Perhaps this technique would fulfill that role.

“All thanks to that suanni…”

Su Yu suddenly blanked out. He did a quick calculation. He last fed them on the 22nd. Since it was already past midnight, it should be October 1st today, right?

“It’s not that bad. It has only been 10 days.”

He exhaled in relief. Fortunately, he had remembered them. Otherwise, he would probably spend the next few days in the grotto, delaying their feeding even more. And if he forgot about them after leaving seclusion, they would probably remain starved for half a month or even a month. It wouldn’t be good if some of them ended up starving to death.

“The water guy is in the Cloudbreach Realm. That fellow’s blood essence can be used to activate the water elemental’s page in the book…”

Although he still couldn’t do so for now, a day would come when he could. He could probably start activating Cloudbreach pages after reaching the Skysoar Realm.

A short while later, he arrived at the second underground floor.

The door swung open.

The creatures inside the room seemed to have gotten used to being starved. Indeed, the power of adaptability could also be very scary.

Just look at the suanni and the satisfied expression on his face.

After telling Su Yu about the technique, he had been given a few extra drops of source qi liquid. Thus, life had been good for him recently. He had completely forgotten that he was supposed to be fed a drop every three days. And he had only been given three drops previously. Thus, he had not really been given any extra food.

Alas…his new caretaker had a bad memory. And he had gotten used to being starved. Thus, even getting what he was supposed to get in the first place was already good enough for him. Just look at the other creatures. Look at how weak they were.
