Chapter 719: Chapter 391: Wood Race Da Luo, Tempting Proposal (Part 3)
Two minutes later, he raised an eyebrow, a trace of surprise appeared on his face:
"Innate Spiritual Treasure!"
Nearly several billion kilometers away lies the Shocking Sky Archipelago, a land about half the size of the Fallen Star Islands, home to a sovereign-sized sect, where a renowned Suzuka Immortal has emerged as a Profound Immortal. The sect houses over ten True Immortals and nearly two hundred Celestial Immortals, making it one of the top powers of the Wood Race.
The map marked that the Suzuka Immortal held a mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Shaking Mountain Hammer, with extremely terrifying power.
"It’s you then."
Su Yu immediately changed direction and headed straight for the Shocking Sky Archipelago.
A month later, he appeared in the Southeast Sea Region of the Shocking Sky Archipelago.
The Half-Spirit People hadn’t attacked here yet, but they had already sent many experts with strong stealth abilities to investigate.
On his way, he had encountered no fewer than a hundred waves of Half-Spirit experts, or other races’ experts trying to fish in troubled waters.
Meanwhile, the Wood Race had begun deploying troops, fully mobilizing the players on the Shocking Sky Archipelago. Ninety-nine percent of Foundation Establishment players over level one hundred had been conscripted into the army.
Golden Core Cultivators are even more indispensable, as they form the backbone and must participate in the war.
But Su Yu didn’t think highly of the Wood Race; not only could they not defeat the Half-Spirit People, but the experts from various races would surely exploit their weakened state.
A collapsing wall invites destruction, and everyone chooses the softest persimmon to squeeze, so the weakened Wood Race will surely be the target for others to kick when down.
As the first civilization to be fully declared war upon, if unable to show power to contend against their adversaries, they would inevitably be devoured by other races.
Su Yu arrived at the Shocking Sky Archipelago and headed straight for the Shocking Sky Divine Sect located in the center of the island.
However, to his surprise, when he arrived at the Shocking Sky Divine Sect, he found the Suzuka Immortal was not inside the sect.
"He should have gone to the ancestral land of the Wood Race."
Being one of the few Profound Immortals in the race, a full-scale war requires managing the affairs of the entire race. If the Human Race were to engage in a full-scale war against other races, Su Yu would also need to return to the ancestral Divine Land to oversee the overall situation.
The person wasn’t there, so Su Yu had no interest in lingering and immediately turned to leave.
He did not attack the Shocking Sky Divine Sect, even though it undoubtedly contained abundant resources; he wasn’t interested in aiding the Half-Spirit People.
If possible, letting the Wood Race hold out a bit longer would better align with the interests of other races.
Another half month later, he arrived at an archipelago at the rear of the Wood Race, which the map indicated had a very famous ancient ruin, an enclosed Grotto Heaven that opens once every hundred years for a batch of Golden Core cultivators to explore, consistently yielding a low-grade Spiritual Treasure each time.
Su Yu immediately became interested and sought it out.
However, it was not the time for the ancient ruin to open yet. The opening of the ruin is in a forest of towering stone pillars. The entrance is located between two sky-reaching stone pillars in the center of the stone forest.
"Star Master, can you sense the entrance to the ruin?"
With Su Yu’s powerful perception, he surprisingly felt nothing, so he promptly summoned the Star Master to investigate.
The Star Master went straight to the sky-reaching stone pillars and said:
"Here."
"Can you open it?"
"Yes, but forcibly opening it from the outside will damage the entrance, making it impossible to close afterward."
"No matter, if it can’t be closed, so be it."
"Alright!"
The Star Master raised a hand and pointed at the void between the two pillars.
The center of the void suddenly trembled, sank, and a transparent portal outline emerged in the distorted void.
The Star Master pointed again at the middle of the portal outline, and the portal trembled again. The outline solidified into a massive light gate, which the Star Master tapped lightly, causing it to shatter into countless shattered light points, revealing an empty portal from which dense Spiritual Qi rushed forth.
"Interesting!"
He sensed the primordial Spiritual Qi and a trace of extremely rare Innate Spiritual Qi from outside, glanced at the portal the Star Master forcibly stabilized, and strode inside.
Upon entering the portal, he found himself high in the air, beneath him lay the vast expanse of contiguous Barbaric Mountains.
His powerful gaze swept across every direction, absorbing everything into his view.
"This world... was deliberately prepared."
He could distinctly sense the Law of Space at the entrance when he had first entered the ruin. If it weren’t for his formidable strength, a regular Golden Core Cultivator would be teleported to a random location upon entry due to the spatial laws.
At this moment, the Star Master flew in and directly pointed to a direction:
"This direction."
Su Yu nodded and flew straight in that direction.
It wasn’t even two hours before they saw a massive ring-shaped mountain basin appear between the mountains ahead, inside which lay a giant lake. But as he crossed over the basin ridge, the space in front of him warped, and the lake within the basin vanished, replaced by an enormous palace complex.
This palace complex seemed steeped in the passage of countless ages, as if it had endured through endless eras.
Su Yu crossed his arms and asked with a smile:
"How about it?"
The Star Master replied solemnly:
"It contains the external avatar of an old being."
"Da Luo?"
"Yes."
Su Yu raised his eyebrow and continued to ask:
"What relationship does it have with the Wood Race?"
"It appears to be the external avatar of the Wood Race’s creator."
"???"
He exclaimed in surprise:
"Such blatant cheating?"
"If this Grotto Heaven existed before the calamity, then it doesn’t count as cheating."
"Hmm..."
Su Yu pinched his brow and waved his hand:
"Since it’s the external avatar of the Wood Race’s creator, let’s forget about it and leave."
This opportunity tailored for the Wood Race doesn’t seem worth vying for something valuable.
Though he has the Immortal Slaying Sword and the Star Master is a Da Luo, they could still suppress an external avatar, but the issue is that the valuable items are in the other party’s possession. If unwilling to share, they can’t be taken by force.
