Chapter 1391: The Charm Of A Top Student (1)

Inside the special tunnel.

Su Yu was growing anxious as the doors spun and vanished one after another. The transference had begun. However, he had yet to fully witness the entire route taken by the doors.

"Wait! Give me a moment!"

Su Yu cursed. Couldn't the mansion give him more time?

Damn it!

With a hum, he felt a sense of weightlessness. At that moment, he finally understood the purpose of these doors. They were meant to protect those entering from the spatial power during the transference.

However, he didn't want to leave yet. He had only witnessed about half the circulation route. Of course, he only needed to see a little bit over half the route. A cultivation method was essentially a specific order and circulation route of one's acupoints. After learning more than half of the route, he could always derive the rest. The difficulty wouldn't even be that big. However, Su Yu was still greatly displeased.

Why was the damn mansion teleporting everyone before he could see everything?

Holy shit.

As he swore, he muttered, "There must be a corresponding diagram for the yin aperture. The yin aperture diagram will most definitely contain a circulation route as well. It won't be the same as the Five Elemental Art. That trash art only utilizes 180 apertures. There must be a diagram for the complete yin aperture circulation route somewhere. Or perhaps...it's a single cultivation method for all 720 acupoints and apertures."

Numerous thoughts emerged in Su Yu's mind. He had completely lost interest in all the so-called treasures he could find in the Luminous Domain Mansion.

Treasures? Boring.

He had discovered a secret. A super secret.

"Is the Luminous Domain Mansion...really a mansion? Is it a human body...or a mansion built in accordance with the human body? No...nine levels...nine..."

He sank into thought, ignoring the door that was carrying him into the mansion. Why were there nine levels in the Luminous Domain Mansion? What was the significance behind that? Nine. There were nine stages in each cultivation level. There were nine transformations in the Cloudbreach Realm. There were nine degrees in the Eternal Realm.

If the special entrance was really built in accordance with the 360 acupoints, there would most definitely be a deeper significance behind the nine levels of the Luminous Domain Mansion.

"No, the Luminous Domain Mansion was the headquarters of the Myriad Race Assembly. In that case, this place won't be a human body. Luminous Domain Mansion...Luminous Domain (Xing Yu)...if Xing Yu was the ancient Human Emperor, and if this mansion was really built by the Human Emperor, he must have utilized methods incomprehensible to the myriad races. These methods must be secrets related to the human race. Did the people of the ancient past enter the mansion through these transferences as well? I doubt so. They must have all entered through the proper door instead..."

𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

No matter what, Su Yu was a researcher at heart. He was no barbarian. He had read many books, especially books concerning cultivation methods. He was confident that very few people knew as much about cultivation methods as him in the Myriad Realms.

At the very least, he was confident his knowledge was unsurpassed when it came to cultivation methods at the Mountainsea Realm and below. Not only had he seen many cultivation methods. He had even tried them himself.

Thus, he was able to easily recognize the significance behind the 360 special doors. A long time had passed since the ancient past. He might not be the only one to realize this. But he was sure he was the first in this era.

Ignoring his surroundings, he started recording the circulation route he had managed to see earlier. Perhaps he had seen enough to derive the complete cultivation method. Of course, he would need countless attempts to complete it.

As for where the door would take him, it would probably be the first level. He was still young and his cultivation level was still low. It would be perfectly normal for him to reach the first level.

That was a good place to be. The first level was a safe place. It was prepared for Skysoars and Cloudbreaches. Generally, nobody at the Mountainsea Realm and beyond would be transported there. One couldn't deny that Su Yu was still a Cloudbreach.

There, he could probably do anything he wanted. Nobody could harm him. Sure, the level itself might have some dangers as well, but if even Skysoars could survive there, he was sure he would do fine.

Finally, Su Yu shifted his attention to the door carrying him.

"This door probably corresponds to the zhongtan acupoint. Will it react if I activate my zhongtan acupoint?"

As a researcher, Su Yu couldn't resist trying. The time for worries was over. He activated the acupoint inside him.

Zhongtan acupoint.

As his source qi surged, the door carrying him trembled.

Su Yu was surprised. It worked?

***

At the same time, someone inside a different door shouted in alarm.

"No! T-this...no!"

The spatial tunnel teleporting that person collapsed, crushing the door and the person within. Even at his final moment, his face was still filled with disbelief and indignation.

Why?

Before long, he was ground into nothing by the powerful spatial force.

***

Outside the Luminous Domain Mansion.

All the doors were gone, leaving only numerous tunnels behind.

While everyone was waiting patiently, one of the tunnels collapsed.

"..."

Silence descended.

All the Invincibles outside stared at the collapsed tunnel in stupefaction.

Was this a joke?

How was that possible?

This had never happened before. This wasn't supposed to be possible. Nobody could believe this. Nobody had died during the transference process before.

"NOO!"

Suddenly, someone roared madly.

Dao King.

He was losing his mind. He roared madly, "Who? Who is it? Who's targeting me? Who are you?"

Impossible! He had forced himself to calm down after losing two of his slots to Hollow. However, he lost yet another one so soon after.

Yes. The person who had died in the tunnel was a Sunmoon under Dao King's command.

Someone must be targeting him. He was sure that someone was targeting him. Yes. It must be a Pseudo Emperor. A Pseudo Emperor was secretly targeting him! The mad Dao King looked at the celestial chasm encampment with red eyes. Was it them? Were they cursing him? It must be them!

No, that wasn't necessarily true. The fate race could do this as well. Even the immortal race was also good at curses. He refused to believe that he could get so unlucky. This must be the work of a curse.

Dao King looked around coldly and declared, "Someone must be targeting me. I'm sure. I will find you. After losing my two bodies and all my wealth, I have nothing left. Do not force me."

Dao King had gone mad. Some people believed that Dao King must have met with too many setbacks as of late. He lost two of his bodies and all his wealth. After purchasing five additional slots, he lost three of them before his people were even inside the mansion.

Anyone would be driven mad by this. That was simply too unlucky. However, everyone ignored Dao King. They were more focused on the collapsed tunnel. Just why was this happening?

This felt ominous. How could someone die during the transference process?

Many of them had been in the mansion before. They knew how long the transference would take. The tunnel had collapsed halfway through the transference. This signified that someone had died in the tunnel.

Damn it! This was not supposed to be possible. Perhaps it would happen if the Luminous Domain Mansion itself were about to collapse, but it shouldn't happen otherwise.

***

At the same time.

Su Yu was greatly shocked. He muttered, "These are the main acupoints!"

Main acupoints.

The 360 main acupoints corresponded to the slots in the special entrance. All the other slots are subsidiary to the main acupoints. Each main acupoint controlled nine subsidiary tunnels.

Understanding dawned on Su Yu. He could see the nine dots of light on his door. One of them had vanished. Or to be precise, it had fallen apart.

"This main acupoint is connected to nine outer acupoints. Safe slots? Bullshit."

Su Yu grew incomparably excited. He had discovered a major secret! Those fools had been claiming that the special entrance was dangerous. What nonsense. The so-called safe slots were the actual dangerous entrances. How idiotic.

"One main acupoint controls nine subsidiary acupoints. This is the control center."

Su Yu muttered, "And they believe that these tunnels are worse than the subsidiary tunnels? How stupid. Hmm...who did I kill just now?"

Su Yu was curious. Whatever. It didn't matter. It was an accident. In any case, anyone entering the Luminous Domain Mansion was already ready to die. That was applicable to even the humans. If one ended up dying, one could only blame one's bad luck for it.

Su Yu couldn't help but feel like he was a super genius for this discovery. While everyone was waiting for the transference to end, Su Yu was already starting to think of a way to control all the tunnels.

"What does the collapse of a tunnel signify?"

Su Yu exclaimed, "The collapse of the tunnel signifies that the way back is shut. When leaving, one will probably leave through the same route. Without the tunnel, the energy supporting the transference will be gone..."

Numerous thoughts emerged in his mind.

"Perhaps...I don't even need to run around looking for treasures. I only need to look for these corresponding doors. These doors will likely be waiting at the same place inside the mansion. It is likely that those leaving will need to gather at the same place if they wish to leave...

"Those fools won't have the courage to use the special tunnels. In that case, they will leave through the subsidiary tunnels again. I only need to look for the corresponding central acupoint to kill them all. No, that does not guarantee that I'll get their belongings...Whatever. I'll have to try on myself for the treasures."

The more Su Yu thought, the more excited he became. He had discovered a way to kill his enemies.

How interesting.

He looked at the eight remaining dots of light and sank into thought. Should he kill them all?

"What if there are humans in there? It doesn't matter, but what if it's my teacher?"

That would be awkward. Fine, fine. He couldn't kill blindly. The previous kill was merely an accident.
