Chapter 1711: I'm Waiting For You (2)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

When Su Yu woke up again, he was met with the white dog's disappointed look. The white dog said, "That didn't work. Your willpower didn't leave. You only fainted."

"..."

Su Yu smiled stiffly. Yes. He only fainted. Yet again, the white dog had knocked him unconscious. That was the second time it had happened! If it wasn't for the fact that he pitied the crying, he would have decided to keep a grudge against the white dog. The white dog was the first person to have ever knocked him out twice.

The white dog lay on his stomach again. He had an empty look, and not even his tail was wagging anymore. After a long while, he asked, "Little Master is still alive, right?"

Su Yu didn't know. But there was only one answer he could give. He nodded and said, "Definitely! She's so strong! There's Culture King there as well!"

"Yah! Yah! The white dog nodded. He asked, hope filling his eyes, "Little Master will return soon, right?"

"Yeah."

Su Yu nodded.

It wouldn't be a good idea to provoke this dog right now. This was a dog who had been watching over Time Sage's home for over a hundred thousand years. Su Yu didn't even dare to imagine what would happen if the final hope of someone like that was shattered.

Even now, the sky was still dark. Prior to this, the sky was constantly sunny. Slowly, the darkness faded.

Looking at Su Yu, the white dog asked, "Did you only meet her once?"

"Yeah."

"Why did you not sleep earlier?"

Su Yu replied helplessly, "I have been fighting endlessly. I didn't have the chance to sleep. I doubt I would have been able to fall asleep even when there was a chance to sleep."

"Oh." The white dog asked, "Was Little Master crying?"

"I think so."

"Oh."

Su Yu was handling the white dog with extreme care. He kept feeling like this white dog was on the verge of going crazy. Just like that, the white dog lay on his stomach in silence. His tail was still. It was unknown what he was thinking. After a long while, he stood up and rushed into the house. A short while later, he came out holding something in his mouth.

"This is Master's Heavenearth Inkstone. He used to write with this..."

The white dog placed the inkstone down and said expectingly, "Back then, Master killed a powerful guy before refining that person's skin into this."

Su Yu looked at the inkstone and asked, "Is this a divine weapon?"

"I don't know." The white dog said, "I only know that Master had four great treasures. Pen, paper, inkstone, and ink. This is the Heavenearth Inkstone. The dao you inherited is shaped like a pen. That must be the pen master used in the past. You also have the aura of Master's paper on you, but it's incomplete. The luck spirit must have the rest. As for the ink...ink...where is the ink?"

After thinking about it, the white dog said, "I don't know where the ink is, but it might be in the Luminous Domain Mansion or the Death Realm. Just look for it. They were Master's four major treasures. By collecting them all, you might be able to master four different daos."

Hope filled Fat Ball's eyes as he pleaded, "Cultivate hard, okay?"

Su Yu answered awkwardly, "Yes. I'll work hard."

"Good! Cultivate hard and gather all four treasures! Master might have left four legacies behind, but you only have one! I'm certain the ink and paper are two different legacies. There must be a legacy in this inkstone as well! It might contain a dao. The dao of the expert Master killed back then. You can use this yourself, or you can give it to someone suitable. Work hard, okay? Please?"

"..."

Su Yu felt even more awkward as he said, "Senior, I have been working hard all along. By the way, why aren't you using it yourself?"

The white dog shook his head and said, "Compatibility is important when choosing daos. I am unsuitable or I wouldn't have opened my own dao back then. Since you have obtained one of Master's legacies, his other daos must be suitable for you as well.

"You might also not be Master's sole successor. You have the legacy of the pen. The luck spirit has the legacy of the paper, but he is probably not the person Master has been waiting for. He would have become a Master of Law long ago otherwise. And now, you have the inkstone legacy. Only the ink legacy is missing..."

Finally, the white dog was willing to tell Su Yu more of what he knew. Previously, he had been holding back because he believed that one legacy was enough for Su Yu. But he had changed his mind. There were four legacies, not one.

After learning about all that, one name appeared in Su Yu's mind: Liu Hong!

Ink!

Of the four legacies, the ink legacy was the only one still missing. Meanwhile, Liu Hong had been trying very hard to enter the Death Realm. Did he somehow stumble upon the ink legacy?

Or perhaps he knew the location of that legacy. Was that why he was so eager to enter the Death Realm?

"Four different daos."

Su Yu inhaled deeply. Just how many daos did Culture King have under his control? Could someone like that even die? Just what manner of enemy did he encounter to be trapped for over a hundred thousand years?

Looking at the Heavenearth Inkstone, Su Yu couldn't understand why the white dog was being so generous. After a short hesitation, he picked the inkstone up. The moment he touched it, he saw a gigantic beast pouncing on him.

His heart thumped, but at the next moment, the beast transformed back into a regular inkstone.

The white dog said, "I don't know how you can inherit this dao. Just try it yourself. I think you can do it."

The white dog said, "You are already a legitimate successor after entering this place. But since you have yet to grasp even Master's pen, I did not give you the inkstone. I was waiting for a second successor to appear."

Su Yu said, "Are you saying that anyone capable of entering this place will be qualified to receive this inkstone?"

"No." The white dog shook his head and said, "Master never said this. This is my own decision. You don't look like a bad guy, so I gave it to you."

"..."

So the dog was calling him a nice guy.

Su Yu inhaled deeply. He had learned too many new things today. He didn't even dare to think too deeply about them as they were truly too scary. Time Sage and Culture King had encountered a powerful enemy. They had been battling that enemy for a hundred thousand years.

This was too unreal.

Fifteen years ago, something happened. They might have suffered defeat. Time Sage might have died. As a result, the Book of Time returned home with a drop of her tear. Perhaps, in her final moments, she was clinging to the final hope of finding someone to help them.

But...what joke was that?

Heavens!

How strong were Time Sage and Culture King?

They were masters of numerous daos. One had easily shed off four powerful daos for his successors. One had killed countless experts to forge a Book of Time, with forging a new Myriad Realms being her ultimate goal.

And he was supposed to save them. Was this a joke? At present, just mastering a single dao was already enough to trample over the Myriad Realms. It was likely that there wasn't a Great Dao expert even in the Upper Realm.

Su Yu inhaled deeply yet again. With a flicker, the inkstone vanished and reappeared in his sea of willpower. Nowadays, his sea of willpower was turning into quite a treasure vault.

Pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. He had the pen, the inkstone, and fragments of the paper. Only the ink was missing. He also had Time Sage's Book of Time, human lord's holy lord token, and his very own Mark of Civilization.

One only needed to kill Su Yu to get their hands on all these treasures. As a mere Sunmoon, he was holding onto these invaluable treasures.

Su Yu looked at the white dog again and asked, "Are you willing to leave now, Senior? Perhaps..."

The white dog shook his head. "I can't. I need to guard our home. I can't leave this place. If I leave for more than three days, this home will be no more."

"It's fine for some of the flowers to wither away..."

Previously, Su Yu wasn't so adamant about getting the white dog's help. But since something had happened to Time Sage, perhaps...

The white dog shook his head again and said, "I can't be away for long. The flowers are not the only issue. Without Master, and Little Master here, this place is already starting to grow unstable. If I leave for more than three days, this place will be flushed away by the River of Time. We won't be able to find this place anymore..."

He looked up at Su Yu and said, "I can leave if you're really in trouble, but no more than three days. I must return before then."

Understanding dawned on Su Yu. So that was how it was. So he wasn't staying just for the flowers. There was a risk of losing this entire place to the River of Time. Then again, the white dog had loosened his position, agreeing to help in emergencies as long as he could return in three days.

Prior to this, he hadn't been willing to take even a step out of this place. Clearly, Su Yu's dream had changed his mind.

Su Yu nodded, but before he could say more, the white dog urged, "Su Yu...you should leave now!"

"Uh..."

Su Yu still wanted to spend some time listening to the book spirit, but the white dog said, "By listening to the book and drinking tea here, you might take a hundred years to become a Master of Law. But that's so slow! Didn't you mention that you need to look for a suitable cultivation method for yourself? Go! Do it! Find Master's ink inheritance as well! Go now, Su Yu!"

Prior to this, the white dog was rather relaxed. He did not mind Su Yu's presence here. But now, he was no longer as relaxed. He wanted Su Yu to stop relaxing and work harder. Without fighting and robbing, how could he grow rapidly?

Next, the white dog said, "The book spirit and tea plant have been too lazy in their cultivation as well! I won't allow them to leave this time! I'm personally overseeing their cultivation! When they grow strong enough, and when you need their help again, I can send them out!"

Finally, he looked at the large tree in the courtyard and said, "This big guy is almost sentient. If it managed to complete his sentience, I can send it out as well! Book Spirit, spend more time reading to this big guy!"

He was cutting Su Yu's access to the book. Such a growth was too slow for his liking. He needed Su Yu to grow even faster. He couldn't wait any longer.

Su Yu was feeling quite helpless. Previously, the white dog had offered to let him stay here. But the white dog had changed his mind so easily. Evidently, his little master was a lot more important.

Then again, that was understandable. After all, Su Yu wasn't the one who had raised this dog. The white dog wanted him to stop slacking, fully open the Heaven Gate, form more characters, and advance as soon as possible.

Su Yu had never planned to stay here for too long. He only wanted to stay here for a few days and listen to the book spirit while drinking tea. But now, that was no longer possible. Oh well, he already knew all he needed to know here. In fact, he had gained massively from this short trip here. Perhaps it was really time for him to pay the Luminous Domain Mansion another visit.

Even now, Su Yu had yet to fully recover from his shock. He still knew too little. The destruction of the ancient past might be related to the battle the Time Sage and Culture King were fighting. Even now, the two were still fighting.

Were there only the two of them there, or were they fighting alongside more people?

What about the Human Emperor?

What about the Martial King?

Were they dead?

Or were they also still alive, fighting somewhere unknown?

It had been a hundred thousand years. Just what manner of battle was it for them to be stuck fighting for so long? A hundred thousand years. Such a long battle between experts of that level should be enough to destroy worlds. In fact, such a battle would probably be enough to level even the Upper Realm.

"A drop of tear, a Heavenearth Inkstone..."

These were the two unexpected gains of the day.

Seeing that the white dog was getting impatient, Su Yu did not waste any time. He stood up and said, "In that case, I'll be taking my leave."

The white dog did not urge him to stay. He nodded, "Yes, yes! Go!"

Before leaving, Su Yu asked, "I have a question. Is there a suppressive force in the Human Realm? Can it be activated?"

The white dog thought about it and said, "Are you talking about the force capable of suppressing all outsiders?"

"Yeah."

"Yes, there was. Many years ago. But it was gone after Master and the others conquered the Myriad Realms. After the conquest, Human Realm became a popular place to visit. It would be rude to suppress the friends of humanity or their mounts. Also, Human Realm became a place of pilgrimage for the myriad races. That was why Master and the others removed the suppressive force.

"The suppressive force is the effect of a certain dao, but I don't know which dao it is. Initially, it was masterless. But eventually, either the Human Emperor or Master took control of it and disabled the suppressive force. If you want to reactivate the suppressive force, you need to go beyond being a Master of Law."

"..."

Fine. Fine.
