Tribulation of Myriad Races

Chapter 943: Eureka! (1)

Inside the hall.

Standing before the towering stone statue, Tian Men said, "Just wait here for a bit. Nobody knows if the opportunity will appear for you."

Su Yu asked doubtfully, "So I only need to wait?"

"Yes."

"Has anyone gotten anything from this place before?"

"Of course." Tian Men said, "A decent number of people have been here before. You might even recognize some of those names. Back then, people like Ye Batian and Xia Longwu were here as well..."

"Wait." Su Yu asked, "Prefect Xia as well?"

Was that a joke? He was someone who had sent Tian He flying with his saber before. He was here before as well? Did he enter forcefully after sending Tian He flying?

Tian Men nodded, "Yes."

Su Yu had nothing else to say about that.

"Did all of them obtain something from this place?"

"No. Xia Longwu was here to wait for a Sunmoon death spirit. He fled after killing the death spirit."

"..."

Su Yu was stunned. Holy shit! So when Prefect Xia waited here, a Sunmoon death spirit appeared? Were they sure this was a place of opportunity instead of a place of death? Anyone else would rot away right after encountering a Sunmoon death spirit. Meanwhile, Xia Longwu was able to kill the Sunmoon death spirit.

Su Yu asked, "You can spawn Sunmoon death spirits by killing Mountainsea death spirits. If you kill Sunmoon death spirits, will Invincible death spirits appear? Does something like an Invincible death spirit even exist?"

"I don't know." Tian Men was not lying when he claimed that he didn't know. He explained, "Xia Longwu did not stay for long after killing the Sunmoon death spirit. We didn't notice anything, but he did leave with heavy injuries. Perhaps he did encounter something back then. I'm only a Mountainsea so there's no way for me to know more."

As a mere Mountainsea, he was not qualified to get involved in matters concerning super experts like Xia Longwu. Even the mayor was sent flying with only one slash. That same slash would probably be enough to kill him.

Thus, it was only natural that he didn't know much about Xia Longwu's encounter here. He only knew that Xia Longwu was gravely injured. But it wasn't hard to imagine how dangerous this place was if even a super expert like Xia Longwu was gravely injured here. Then again, there was also no denying that there were various opportunities to obtain here as well.

"So who among them managed to obtain an opportunity here?"

"Ye Batian." Tian Men said, "I think he obtained a cultivation method here, but nobody knows more about it. However, he began his abrupt rise in the Allheaven Battlefield soon after leaving this place. Nobody could defeat him."

It was an exaggeration to claim that nobody could defeat Ye Batian. But Su Yu still had an odd look on his face. So the fifth principal obtained an opportunity here before? In front of him, the stone statue had the urge to clarify that Ye Batian's strength had nothing much to do with him. That cultivation method was nothing impressive anyway. Ye Batian's accomplishments were mostly due to his excessive talent.

As for Xia Longwu, well, that was merely a mad butcher. The stone statue also had nothing to do with his injuries.

That lunatic tried to kill his way into the home of the death spirits. What could the stone statue do about that? Xia Longwu should count himself lucky for surviving such a crazy endeavor.

As for his fear of killing one Sunmoon death spirit...well, that was all these fellows saw. Toward the end, that lunatic had probably killed about twenty Sunmoon death spirits. Probably.

The stone statue couldn't remember it quite well. In any case, that slaughter had caused all the death spirits to go crazy. That butcher was truly lucky to have survived that. The stone statue also thought inwardly that he was going to sleep. There was no point waiting as they wouldn't be getting anything today.

After giving his explanation to Su Yu, Tian Men said, "I'll be taking my leave. It is better for only one person to stay here at a time. It is almost impossible to obtain anything from this place if you're not alone."

The stone statue answered inwardly that they couldn't obtain anything when there were more of them because it was too noisy. They should count themselves lucky that he had not beaten them all to death for being too noisy.

As for some of the people who had seemingly obtained something from this place...well, some of them were merely lying to look impressive. What could he do about that?

But some people had indeed obtained something here, but that had more to do with the overflowing talent those people seemed to have. The stone statue had never given anything out. Those people had simply comprehended something during their time here.

Tian Men left.

Su Yu was left alone in the inner hall. No, there was also the little furball, who was busy licking a random character in Su Yu's sea of willpower and the stone statue.

Su Yu started looking around. The hall looked simple and crude. But it was massive. The stone statue was at least thirty meters in height, yet the hall still looked empty with such a big statue in it. One ought to note that the statue was actually seated cross-legged. It would definitely be much taller standing.

And the stone statue was the most conspicuous thing in the hall. Apart from the stone statue, the hall was almost completely empty.

Su Yu looked at the floor, the walls, and the ceiling. Everything seemed to be joined seamlessly, as though they were a single entity that had existed since time immemorial. When he stomped on the ground, he couldn't even cause it to shake.

He wanted to try cutting the hall with his saber, but he was worried that he would attract more death spirits doing so. Sure, he wasn't afraid of death spirits, but it would be impolite to do so in someone's home, right?

After looking at the entire room, his gaze landed on the stone statue. It was massive. The statue was as tall as a ten-story building even when it was seated cross-legged. Standing beside the statue, Su Yu looked like a little kitten.

He studied the statue and found it incredibly lifelike. And he was certain that this was the statue of a male. It resembled a human, but after taking a closer look, Su Yu noted something resembling a tail hiding behind the statue.

He moved to the back of the statue to get a better look, but the clothing of the statue covered everything. But he did see something resembling a tail protruding out of the cloth. Even the cloth carved out of stone seemed incredibly lifelike.

"A tail?"

Su Yu muttered to himself. This was not a human. But there were too many races with tails for him to make an accurate judgment.

"Since this statue has been here for a long time, is this the statue of an ancient expert? Perhaps this is a statue of the original lord of the city?"

Su Yu sank into thought as he stared at the tail. He only saw a tiny part of it. He wondered how long it was.

Done with staring at the tail, he moved to the front again. He looked up at the statue and mumbled with astonishment, "Looks like the people of the ancient times are quite fashionable. Just look at this deep V outfit. More importantly, why is the person wearing this outfit a male?"

The stone statue remained still. Inwardly, he was cursing.

Su Yu started looking all over the statue. He even reached out to rub the thigh of the statue. Wow. Even the hair on the thigh was incredibly lifelike. Every strand of hair was incredibly long. They looked lifelike, but they also carried the weight of history due to their petrified form.

Su Yu tried plucking one of the hairs, but he failed. What a sturdy statue. The stone statue remained still. He had encountered individuals who had tried attacking him here, but this was his first time encountering someone who had tried to pluck the hair on his thigh.

What was this human doing?

Su Yu continued studying the statue. Eventually, he started flying above the statue. He wasn't too worried about the statue as according to the records he read, this statue had remained undamaged even after being attacked by Mayor Tian He. And Mayor Tian He was still fine as well. The danger Xia Longwu had encountered was most likely due to the death spirits instead of the statue.

Su Yu landed on the shoulder of the statue, but he was not even as tall as the statue's head. The head of the statue was about seven or eight meters in height.

Su Yu was merely as tall as the statue's neck. He started walking around the neck. When he reached the chin, he felt like something was blocking his way. When he looked up, he noted that it was the beard of the statue. He threw a casual punch at the beard, impressed at how lifelike the beard was.

Just who was the sculptor of this statue? The sculptor must be an incredible expert to be able to work with such a solid material.

Material...

Suddenly, Su Yu's heart thumped.

Solid material!

His eyes sparkled as a new idea hit him. This thing...could remain undamaged even under the attack of a ninth-stage Sunmoon. Was it possible that...the statue was sculpted out of some incredibly rare weaponsmithing material?

The look in Su Yu's eyes changed. Was this the so-called opportunity everyone spoke of? This was a massive opportunity. An opportunity to craft a divine weapon.

Su Yu swallowed nervously and leaped off the statue. He looked the statue up and down with an amazed gaze. Taking the statue away was not possible. What if...he used this as the foundation to forge an earth weapon?

That should be possible, right? What about an embryonic heaven weapon? Would he be able to take the statue away after forging it into a weapon?

He could probably leave an imprint in the statue after forging it into a weapon. That might be enough for him to actually move the statue. Even if he couldn't turn it into a proper weapon, he could probably throw it at his enemies like a brick. From how tough the statue was, that would probably be enough to smash countless experts to death.

Su Yu started growing excited. Was this his opportunity? Was this the fortuitous encounter waiting for him?

A godly weapon?

"What a pity that Teacher Zhao isn't here. If I can join hands with him..."

Su Yu concluded that if Teacher Zhao was here, they could probably forge an actual heaven weapon out of this statue. Even if they still couldn't move the statue after forging it into a weapon, this was still an excellent weaponsmithing material that couldn't be found anywhere else.

After all, it was tough enough to withstand the attack of a ninth-stage Sunmoon. With such excellent material, he could try every single weaponsmithing trick he knew on it. Su Yu's eyes sparkled. He became more and more convinced that this was the fortuitous encounter waiting for him.

He could forge a powerful weapon here. Or he could even imitate Old Zhao and insert one of his characters into the statue, turning it into his lifebound weapon. The material of this statue was definitely tougher than even some heaven weapons out there.

He had plenty of characters and none of them was a main character. Thus, he didn't even need to worry about the backlash. He would probably be fine losing one character to the statue.

At that thought, Su Yu's eyes sparkled even more. If he could refine the statue and take it with him...holy shit! It was basically as tough as a divine weapon. Even if it lacked other special abilities, it was tough enough to serve as his weapon until the Invincible Realm!

Boom!

His fourth-tier fire character appeared and started burning the statue. He no longer cared if what he did would cause death spirits to appear. He only had his fortuitous encounter in his mind.

The stone statue remained still. What was the little shit doing? The little shit was burning him! Was the little shit trying to test his durability?

That thought had barely crossed his mind when a hammer appeared in Su Yu's hand. Then, Su Yu flew atop the statue and slammed the hammer down at the statue. The recoil caused his entire body to shake uncontrollably, but he was overjoyed.

What excellent material! Even his vibrate character couldn't grant him immunity from the recoil. Jackpot!

He believed that if he could turn this into his lifebound weapon, his cultivation would increase massively as well. In fact, he would be strong enough to no longer worry about the pressure of having ninety-nine characters in his sea of willpower.

Upon success, he no longer had to worry about weapons anymore. This statue would serve as his weapon for a very long time.

Metal, wood, water, fire, earth. All five characters appeared as he started using his weaponsmithing skills on the statue.
