Chapter 1375: Danger Sense (3)

The memories were clear.

Or to be precise, Su Yu was witnessing the past of his victim through the Mark of Civilization. This concerned the manipulation of time, not memories.

Time Sage!

Once again, Su Yu realized how bizarre this book was. No wonder the heavenly laws had attempted to stop him. One of the pages in his book lit up slightly.

A previously empty page had been partially filled.

Iron-winged bird, first-stage Cloudbreach (incomplete)

That was all. The record was incomplete. The Mark of Civilization had not grown in strength. However, Su Yu learned a lot. Perhaps he needed an intact corpse to better complete the page.

Since the Mark of Civilization had only consumed the sea of willpower of the iron-winged bird, the record was incomplete.

Suddenly, a blacktail sable spoke, "Yifei, why are you so silent suddenly?"

Yifei.

Su Yu knew that this was the name of the iron-winged bird. He answered, "I have nothing to say. So many people are challenging the special entrance. How many people will die this time? How many of us weaklings can get through? The safe entrances are monopolized by the major races. The rest of us can only try our luck with the special entrance. If luck forbids, we will get through. If not, we will probably die. What is there to say?"

"You can't say that. We're together. We need to cooperate. Yifei, if we cooperate well, our chances will be higher. Some of us might die, but that's still better than fighting alone, right?"

Some of them believed that it was pointless to keep grumbling about the safe slots. It wasn't like anything would change.

Su Yu gloomily said, "I understand. Don't worry. I'll cooperate. Why would I be here otherwise? But I need to make it clear that I won't be sacrificing myself for anyone like a hero. If I must die, I will try to drag a few others down with me as well."

"Everyone is thinking the same thing. It's pointless to say things like this."

With that, they all sank into silence. A sense of helplessness enveloped them, mixed with anger and fury toward the major races.

As for Su Yu, he sighed inwardly. After everything, he had still ended up using a special entrance. He had reached this decision because he felt like the regular entrances were already under strict monitoring.

There were only a few thousand regular entrances. It wouldn't be too hard to monitor all of them.

Meanwhile, the special entrance would welcome the participation of hundreds of thousands of individuals of various races and unknown origin. It would be much harder for the major races to fully monitor the special entrance.

At the same time.

Outside the Luminous Domain Mansion.

More and more experts had gathered around the massive gate.

To the north, where the immortals were encamped.

An eye appeared in Dao King's palm. It started looking around, undetected by anyone. Floating in the sky, Dao King was doing the same. Inwardly, he was conversing with someone, "Any discoveries, Lord Tiangu?"

"No." Tiangu's voice replied in his mind, "He is not the type to give up on something like this. He will come. And if he's coming, he will be here soon. Inspect all token holders strictly. Don't let anyone through before I take at least one look at them."

"Sure." Dao King asked, "Do we inspect those challenging the special entrance as well?"

"Yes. But I won't be doing that. The divines are in charge over there. Once Su Yu is found, kill him. He must die. Keep a close watch over the humans, especially those from Great Xia and Great Ming.

"Sure."

The eye in Dao King's palm continued scanning the area. Numerous scenes played in the eye, showing fragments from the past and future of the people it scanned. The immortals were serious about killing Su Yu.

Since a kill order had been issued, they wouldn't give him any chance to grow stronger. It didn't matter if he was really injured or if it was merely a lie. They would not spare him.

Disguise? Could any disguise escape the detection of a Pseudo Emperor?

Tiangu and the Pseudo Emperor of the divines were personally here. Su Yu would not be able to escape them. As far as they were concerned, Su Yu should be honored to receive such a level of attention from them.

***

Meanwhile, Su Yu was busy studying the Mark of Civilization.

Suddenly, a page detached itself from the book and covered his body. His eyes flickered as he suddenly felt like he had truly become Yifei. The page covering his body was none other than the page that had absorbed Yifei's sea of willpower.

"Is this working?"

Su Yu was unsure. Could this thing escape all detection? That was not all. Inside his sea of willpower, the Culture Tomb had turned into a cover, covering his entire sea of willpower. Invincibles were very powerful. When one focused, one could see through a lot of things.

Su Yu noted that it wasn't a good idea to fully cover his sea of willpower. It would also be suspicious if the Invincibles detected nothing from him. He must leave something for the Invincibles to detect to remain inconspicuous.

He licked his lips as he sank into thought. Instantly, the page entered his sea of willpower. Then, numerous fragments of virtual memories were implanted at the outer layer of his sea of willpower.

"I keep feeling like some people are targeting me this time."

Su Yu couldn't help but wonder if this was the so-called danger sense.

Whatever.

He had completely given up on his initial plan after meeting Bai Junsheng and Wu Lan. The special entrance would be much safer for him.

It was likely that both Bai Junsheng and Wu Lan would be under close monitoring this time. He had to pay close attention when it was time to enter the mansion. If the two were really under strict monitoring, it signified that he had nearly fallen for the trap of the myriad races.

***

Following the group, Su Yu traveled for an entire day before stopping.

There were countless people in the area. In the middle of the crowd was a massive blank space. And in the middle of the blank space was a massive gate. There was nothing behind the gate. It stood there alone, with two characters hanging atop it. However, those characters were not visible to the weak.

Only the strong could see what the two characters were: luminous and domain.

The armies of the various major races had formed a blockade around the gate. Only token holders were allowed to approach. Those without any tokens could only wait until the mansion was open before entering through the special entrance.

Beside Su Yu, an old man was explaining, "When the mansion opens, numerous tunnels will appear in the area. A total of 3,260 of them will appear. There are nine levels to these tunnels. The stronger one is, the higher one can go. That does not guarantee that you will be transported straight to the ninth level of the mansion, but those entering through the high-level tunnels might be transported straight to the third or fourth level of the mansion. The major races have explored the mansion many times. For them, exploring the lower levels again is a waste of time."

The Luminous Domain Mansion had been around for many years. Even those who had never entered would know something about it.

Su Yu knew all that as well, but he was uninterested in showing off his knowledge. Instead, he was busy feeling shocked. His tribulation character was pulsing. Someone was observing him. It wasn't obvious, but someone was indeed observing all of them.

He hurriedly banished all his thoughts and recited in his mind, "I want to enter. I want to grow strong. I want to become the strongest expert of the iron-winged bird race."

***

At the same time.

The white-haired divine king was roaming the area while hiding in the void, carrying an eye on his shoulder. The eye was constantly scanning his surroundings. The eye gave off an incomparably profound sensation. It was mostly focused on the token holders. Of course, it would also occasionally glance over the numerous beings waiting further away.

Suddenly, the white-haired divine king said, "Emperor, an update has arrived from the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion. Bai Junsheng, Wu Qi, Wu Lan, and Wu Jia are all suspicious."

"Find a chance and approach them with me. I'll take a closer look."

"Yes!" The white-haired divine king was speaking in an extremely respectful tone. When he looked at the human encampment, he smiled and said, "If he's here, I will be able to sense it. The carrier treasure I gave him was something I spent many years nourishing..."

"There is no guarantee that he will keep it on him."

"A carrier treasure is invaluable. I believe he will keep it on his person. A reckless lunatic like him will always be ready to stake his everything in all his endeavours."

"That's reasonable."

***

In truth, this wasn't a matter Su Yu had even considered.

In fact, he had never cared much about that carrier treasure. He had not been able to detect anything suspicious about it. Not even Grandstar had detected anything. However, he had still picked this carrier treasure when he needed to crush one to forge his book.

No matter what, this was a gift from a hostile Invincible. He had to be wary about it. Thus, crushing it for his weaponsmithing was the best way to make use of it.

Su Yu could sense that someone was observing him, or to be precise, everyone in the area. He was sure this was a super expert. He was left quite speechless. Was there a need for this? He was but a mere Cloudbreach. Was this super expert looking for him?

Maybe...the expert was looking for Hollow instead. Right? Yes. Definitely. After all, everyone believed that Hollow had the Culture Tomb. And it was quite likely that he would try to enter the mansion as well.

Su Yu continued comforting himself. Nope. They weren't looking for him. They were looking for Hollow. That was a Pseudo Invincible capable of fighting Invincibles. Everyone must be looking for the Culture Tomb.

After spending some time comforting himself, Su Yu felt much better.

***

At the same time, even further away.

With a heavy look in his eyes, Hollow stared into the distance and swore inwardly. His danger sense was screaming at him. What was this? Was a Pseudo Emperor scanning the crowd?

With his strength, no regular Invincible could trigger such an intense reaction from his danger sense.

"Hmph. The moment the mansion opens, I'll teleport inside. Let's see what you can do! What's the point of this bullshit?"

Why were they so strict this time? Were they here for him?

Wasn't it just a Culture Tomb? He didn't even know how to use that thing. He had been studying it as of late, but he had learned nothing.
