Chapter 1522: Nine Transformations (3)

When Su Yu reached out to grab the cauldron, it hummed and smashed into his palm. He ignored it and persisted as all 140 golden stripes on the cauldron started shining.

Heaven weapon.

A top-tier heaven weapon.

It had even developed a small level of sentience, capable of struggling against him.

With a snort, Su Yu took his Mark of Civilization out. Seeing that, Lan Tian gasped, "No! This is a top-tier heaven weapon. It's good enough for even top experts like Great Qin King. It is probably better than even the spear Great Qin King is using."

This cauldron was the property of a general in the first place. And the general could very well be a ninth-degree Eternal in the past. After being burned by a clump of earthfire for a hundred thousand years, it had grown even more powerful than before.

Was Su Yu thinking of crushing such a cauldron?

Su Yu smiled, "A disobedient weapon is useless. Back then, I was ready to even abandon the Mark of Civilization in the event of disobedience. How can a weapon be allowed to turn against its master? Only a suitable weapon can be a good weapon. An unsuitable weapon will be a disaster in the making no matter how powerful it is."

Madman!

Once again, Lan Tian felt incomparably normal compared to a true madman like Su Yu. What nonsense. That was an excellent cauldron! How could he? Fortunately, Lan Tian wasn't a pillmaster or he would have started crying in sorrow by now. This was most likely the most powerful cauldron in existence.

Seemingly having sensed Su Yu's intention to feed it to the small book beside it, the cauldron shivered. Then, it hurriedly shrank into a cute and translucent miniature cauldron, as though it was trying to fawn over Su Yu with its cuteness.

Su Yu blanked out slightly. But soon, he said coldly, "This is unacceptable. How dare a mere weapon try to manipulate the feelings of its master? This thing must be destroyed."

"..."

What was this logic? Lan Tian didn't even know what to say anymore. When the cauldron resisted, Su Yu wanted to destroy it. When the cauldron surrendered, he still wanted to destroy. It sure was hard being a weapon these days.

Meanwhile, the Mark of Civilization floated beside Su Yu like an obedient child. It knew the temper of its master very well. Its master should never be provoked. Its master would not hesitate to destroy a weapon no matter how good the weapon was.

Just as Su Yu was about to destroy the weapon, he noticed something. He lifted the cauldron and studied it while muttering, "Will an ancient heaven weapon suit Teacher Zhao?"

Previously, he had received an ancient smithing technique. What if he wrapped the technique alongside this ancient cauldron and gave them both to his Teacher Zhao? Su Yu rubbed his chin as he considered the matter. This seemed to be a suitable gift for his teacher.

This would make an incredible gift. Even if Old Zhao rejected the gift, he could give it to Old Liu. After all, Old Liu could also use it to please Wu Yuehua, one of Su Yu's three martial mothers. That was a proper pillmaster. This cauldron would be an absolute treasure for any pillmaster.

With that in mind, Su Yu removed the lid of the cauldron. Instantly, a wave of incredible fragrance leaked out of the cauldron. The pills in the cauldron attempted to escape, but Su Yu caught them easily before sealing one of them in a jade case.

Done with that, he tossed the case to Lan Tian and asked, "Do you want any? The principal needs one for his recovery. How about you?"

"Me?" Lan Tian smiled, "Nope. I only need some corpses. Can you not take all the corpses next time? We are both fellow corpse collectors. We are fellow colleagues. That makes us competitors. Please stay away from me the next time I go out to kill someone."

He wasn't wrong.

Su Yu was left quite speechless, but Lan Tian was right. Both of them were collectors of corpses. He was collecting corpses for his Mark of Civilization while Lan Tian was collecting corpses for his clones. The two of them were not meant to work together.

"Sure. Let's kill separately in the future."

Before long, Su Yu left the residence. Right as he stepped out, the power of laws started gathering above him again. However, he couldn't be bothered to spare the power of laws any attention. This was merely the outer region of the eighth level. The power of laws here was still quite weak.

Seeing that Su Yu was walking in the direction they came from, Lan Tian asked in confusion, "Where are you going?"

"Back. I'm leaving."

"Hmm?" Lan Tian asked, "Are...you serious?"

Su Yu answered unhesitatingly, "Knowing too much won't help me for now. Obtaining everything in the mansion won't help me either. I need to leave and return through the Death Realm before the mansion closes officially. I'll try to return within ten days and set up some traps in advance. Perhaps I can kill even more people after this."

Su Yu smiled and said, "You can stay here until the very end, but not me. I need to leave first. When everyone is expecting me in here, I will be waiting outside to stab them in the back."

Su Yu's smile grew wider as he said, "Treasures are attractive, but I don't care. It is only a matter of time before his entire mansion becomes mine. I will return. The mansion, the so-called Myriad Realm Palace, will all be mine. I will step into the ninth level. There are many buried secrets here. But what's the point of learning them all now?"

Su Yu looked up at the sky and said, "The guardian of that gate might very well be alive as well. That could be an ancient big shot. Perhaps the guardian is also living under the restrictions of the heavenly laws. Who knows?"

Su Yu laughed, "Greed is dangerous. I have gotten everything I need here. It's time to leave. If I wait until the very end, I might lose even a home to return to."

Yes. He had to go now. He had gotten everything he needed. Now, he had to enter the Death Realm, look for He Tu, find the star chart, and harvest the final reward he could get from this journey. As for the other treasures in the mansion, they would still be around for the future.

It had been a hundred thousand years. The things one could easily take had long been taken away. As for the remaining treasures, they would be his sooner or later.

Lan Tian was quite surprised to hear that. After a long pause, he said, "Su Yu...you deserve success. No wonder. No wonder you're so successful."

Su Yu had grown stronger. His level of authority here was high as well. However, he was satisfied with only killing Blood Fire.

Su Yu yearned for many things. But he was not greedy. There was a difference between the two.

Su Yu smiled, "Senior, everyone thinks differently. Perhaps some will see this as cowardly. It doesn't matter. I'll be taking my leave. Have a good time here, Senior. Not even Endless Passage can do much to you so you should be able to enjoy yourself here. Just don't tell anyone about my departure."

At this point, Su Yu had arrived at the entrance. It was time to leave. Xing Yue was probably growing increasingly impatient from all the waiting. He had to return with her as soon as possible. He would return to the outside world through the Death Realm. With his recent growth, he had grown confident enough to traverse even the Death Realm.

With his current strength, he could probably punch a regular death sovereign to death with one hit.

***

Su Yu tore the space apart and stepped into the opening.

He left with zero hesitation.

Lan Tian was still on the eighth level. Nobody else knew about his departure. They were probably still busy hiding from him. There was no need to worry that they would trouble the remaining humans after his departure.

Thus, he could leave without even worrying about Liu Wenyan and Hong Tan. They would be fine. Everyone had their own path. Perhaps his departure would allow them to find their own paths.

The moment Su Yu left, a silhouette appeared in the large reception hall. He stared at Su Yu's departing back with an odd expression for a long while before vanishing with a flicker.

Someone with grade-four authority had killed someone before leaving unhesitatingly. Someone so decisive would most likely reach great heights in the future if he could survive long enough.

And that was a human. What a terrifying young man.

***

Seventh level.

Xing Yue was still sprawled on the ground as she had assumed that Su Yu would take a long time to return. Suddenly, she jumped up when she sensed his presence. At that point, he was already standing in front of her. She had a furious expression.

Damn it!

He saw how she looked lying on the ground!

Su Yu smiled and said, "Great Lord Sovereign, let's go. We need to stop by the sixth level and hand some stuff over to Great Qin King first. Then, we can leave through the death tunnel. This is a tour to your kingdom!"

Xing Yue glared at him coldly and warned, "Su Yu, don't get too cocky!"

Su Yu had a genial expression as he emitted a saintly radiance. "Understood, o great lord sovereign."

Xing Yue blanked out as she was suddenly finding the person before her incredibly pleasing to the eye. And thus, she followed Su Yu to the entrance in confusion. Along the way, she kept wondering why Su Yu looked so nice.

She even questioned herself, wondering if she had been too fierce toward him previously. He was such a nice guy.

That was Xing Yue's conclusion. Yes. He was a nice guy. How would she feel so intimate to him otherwise?

As for Su Yu, he continued walking in front of her nonchalantly. Xing Yue sure was easy to handle.
