Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 638: Threaten (1)

Great Ming.

Su Yu was completely uninvolved in the distribution or marketing of his new cultivation method. Everything had been handed over to Zhu Tiandao. Since Zhu Tiandao was going to benefit from the sales, he naturally had to put in some work as well. Furthermore, Su Yu was still too weak. There were things that he still couldn’t get involved with.

As of late, Great Ming had been bustling with noise and excitement. Rumors about the Source Soul Cultural Art had spread all over Great Ming. More than that, the students of Great Ming had already received clearance to purchase the first part of the Source Soul Cultural Art.

They only needed to pay 50 merit points. That was very cheap. Thus, almost every single cultural research student in Great Ming had purchased a copy. In fact, even the teachers were doing the same. In a span of one day, almost 10,000 copies had been sold.

Since Su Yu was entitled to 40 percent of the share, he would receive 200,000 merit points after only one day. Of course, the sales volume was only this high because this was the first day of release. After purchasing the first part, these cultivators would not need to buy anything else apart from the second part.

Seeing that the cultural research students were already starting to buy the new cultivation method, the war academy students demanded that their academies start selling as well. Even if they wouldn't be cultivating this new cultivation method, they wouldn't mind buying it to take a look.

After all, this was something that allowed someone to start opening apertures at the Mental Tempering Stage. And it wasn't like this cultivation method wouldn't be helpful for warriors. It could help them rapidly increase their willpower strength. After all, a lot of warriors would be stuck at the Mental Tempering Stage even after reaching the Mountainsea Realm in physical cultivation.

Even though they were warriors, having stronger willpower would still be beneficial. Before this, they couldn't do anything about their weak willpower since the Myriad Text Sutra could only be cultivated after willpower materialization. But everything changed with the appearance of this new cultivation method.

Su Yu had neglected the fact that his new cultivation method would also encourage many warriors to start pursuing both paths. In the past, most warriors would neglect their willpower cultivation because reaching the Skysoar Realm through willpower cultivation was too hard.

But now, they could open their apertures at the Mental Tempering Stage and increase their willpower cultivation speed. In fact, that was the main reason why Su Yu had created this cultivation method back then: to increase his cultivation speed at the Mental Tempering Stage. He had only realized how this cultivation method could benefit those at the Skysoar and Cloudbreach Realms after his talk with Zhang Hao.

***

Rumors were flying all over Great Ming.

Even the storytellers were involved. Since a few days ago, the storytellers based in the various restaurants had been talking about Su Yu non-stop.

Tiandu. Inside a restaurant.

A storyteller loudly narrated, "Sure enough, not long after arriving, Su Yu achieved yet another major accomplishment. Everyone here knows what a foundation cultural art is. That is something so valuable that not even a descendant of an Invincible is guaranteed to have one.

"Is Great Xia King strong? He is. But even someone like him only has an 18-aperture foundation cultural art. That cultivation method is treated as a supreme treasure that is only taught to the males from the main line of the family.

"Is Great Ming King strong? He is. And he has a 24-aperture foundation cultural art. That is the supreme treasure of the Zhu Family, and it has never been taught to an outsider before.

"Thus, Su Yu's action of releasing his foundation cultural art is very dangerous. Not only has he offended a bunch of Invincibles by one of the advantages the Invincible descendants have over others, but he might even catch the attention of the cult. He will be subjected to the suppression of these Invincibles and the assassinations of the cult.

"There is a reason why some cultivation methods remain unreleased. I'm afraid Su Yu is in great danger currently. I wonder if Great Ming is capable of protecting him..."

"..."

Someone questioned, "Is the cult brave enough to actually assassinate him in the capital?"

"You never know." The storyteller said, "So what if he's in the capital? Maybe even some of the so-called allies will start trying to assassinate Su Yu as well. I believe there is no need for me to mention any names, right? Su Yu sure is gutsy. He has actually banned those people from learning his new cultivation method. Have all of you forgotten just how brazen those people can be?"

"Are you talking about Great Xia's single character faction? Are they crazy enough to try this? Didn't they lose a lot of members during their previous attempt?"

The storyteller said, "Yeah, that did happen. But they welcomed a few new Sunmoons recently. And they have since started to pick fights with Su Yu again. I reckon Su Yu will eventually be forced to remove the ban. Those people won't let this be."

"Are those people really so hateful?"

"Yes, they are." The storyteller sighed and said, "At times, allies can be scarier than enemies. I heard that the Source Soul Cultural Art is enough to shake the current status quo and replace the Myriad Text Sutra. And when that happens...Su Yu will be in an even bigger trouble.

"The Myriad Text Sutra has always been a golden goose. But this golden goose is going to be slain. This involves a profit of millions of merit points per year. Su Yu is basically threatening their livelihood. His Source Soul Cultural Art is too cheap. With this cultivation method, he's going to ruin the livelihood of the Knowledge Seeking Realm and the various prefectures. What a pity. Su Yu is such a genius, but he will probably live a short life."

Someone argued, "What a load of bullshit! The Knowledge Seeking Realm is a holy land. Why would it assassinate a genius researcher because of money? Don't you know that with this Source Soul Cultural Art, a cultural researcher can enter the Cloudbreach Realm 20 years earlier? It is a great contribution to humanity. Why would the Knowledge Seeking Realm do something like that?"

The storyteller shook his head and said, "You’re not seeing the full picture. Just because the Knowledge Seeking Realm is a holy land does not mean that it's perfect. All the Invincibles are busy fighting on the Allheaven Battlefield. The Knowledge Seeking Realm is being run by the influential families residing within it. And a lot of them are hostile toward the multiple character faction. I doubt Su Yu can stay alive for long."

"Our Great Ming King is incomparably powerful. He is one of the top leaders of the Knowledge Seeking Realm. Why are we afraid of those influential families?"

"Of course we're not afraid of them. But it's troublesome to deal with them." The storyteller said, "Great Ming King is busy dealing with the Invincibles of the divines and devils at the Allheaven Battlefield. He won't be staying in the Knowledge Seeking Realm all the time. Even if he manages to stay there, he might not know everything the people below him are doing. And even if he knows, he might not be able to stop them."

"..."

The storyteller constantly emphasized that Su Yu was going to die soon. This was not only happening in Great Ming. Instead, it was happening in the various prefectures. On the third floor of a restaurant, a few people were drinking and eating in a private room.

Listening to the noise outside, a middle-aged man said, "Old Zhu, is this your work? This will only create more chaos. There is no need for this."

Zhu Tiandao was inside the room as well, but he was not seated on the seat of honor.

He grinned and said, "Big Brother Qin, what are you saying? How is this my work? Why would I say bad things about my own father? There is no doubt that something is off about the Knowledge Seeking Realm recently. Who knows what's happening there? In the past, they only minded their business and ignored everyone else. That is tolerable. But now, they are constantly creating trouble. Just look at that Yuan something guy...what are they trying to do through him?"

At that, Zhu Tiandao scanned the people in the room and said, "Brothers, you guys have arrived all of a sudden. And you have all checked the cultivation method. You are all aware that it's the real deal. What is there to say? Are you buying or not? If you're not, stop wasting my time..."

The middle-aged man downed a cup of liquor and said, "Of course I'm buying. Great Qin does not care about these pointless quarrels. You cultural researchers are too good at creating drama. Also, I also wish to meet Su Yu. I heard he has an ultimate version of the fusion art. That version is good enough even for someone cultivating the Thousand Mountain Art. I need to talk to him about this."

Great Qin was also known as the paradise of warriors. They needed the best version of the Double Wu Acupoint Fusion Art.

Zhu Tiandao said, "Yes, he does have something like that. It is truly impressive. Even someone who has opened hundreds of acupoints like him was able to easily fuse his acupoints and reach the ninth-stage Infinite Strength Realm. I heard that a kid in Great Xia has entered the ninth-stage Infinite Strength Realm despite cultivating the Thousand Mountain Art thanks to this fusion art. He now possesses an incredible combat strength.

"Oh, a few other kids have cultivated this fusion art as well. For example, that kid from the Xia Family. He has recently reached the ninth-stage Infinite Strength Realm as well. He was able to fuse the Sky Sundering Saber acupoints without any issue whatsoever.

"Big Brother Qin, Su Yu is more than happy to release this fusion art to Great Qin. Unfortunately, he has an agreement with the Xia Family. The Xia Family holds the rights to this fusion art. Su Yu himself does not dare to rashly teach this fusion art to just anyone for fear of offending the Xia Family. After all, his father is still in the Devil Subduing Army."

"..."

Qin Zhen stared at Zhu Tiandao and said, "Cut the bullshit. No matter how stupid the Xia Family is, they are not stupid enough to threaten Su Yu with Su Long's life. Don't bother playing this game with me. Just name your price."

It was only a matter of money.
