Chapter 2351: More Powerhouses (1)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Inside the Myriad Realms.

Su Yu smiled. Culture King had received the shoes. He could feel it.

The two had never met properly before. But that day, they completed a plan without any interaction. Su Yu grinned. This was a good thing. With his shoes, Culture King would be able to channel some power from his own world. Even if he might still not be a match for that powerful enemy, things would be much safer than before.

"Human Emperor, Culture King..."

Su Yu noted that life was actually quite good for him.

Human Emperor was there to watch over the front lines while Culture King was there to watch over the Heaven Gate. A pity that the Earth Gate and Human Gate were left mostly alone.

Culture King and the others had not disappointed Su Yu either. These old fellows had all left numerous contingencies behind. Apart from the mysterious Human Gate, the other gates had all been plotted against. Knowing this, Su Yu felt much more at ease.

He had not rested since returning to the Myriad Realms. But now, he could finally take a moment to breathe properly. It might be an exaggeration, but previously, he was feeling so pressured that it felt as though he didn't even have the time to breathe.

Now that Culture King had been reconnected to his own world, Su Yu felt much more relaxed than before. The front lines would also be fine with Human Emperor there. The myriad races would not dare to try anything.

Things were also peaceful within the Myriad Realms. This rare moment of relaxation improved Su Yu's mood greatly. Oh, there was also Return and his furious roars. Su Yu was viewing that as background music to improve the atmosphere.

"Su Yu, did you scheme against me?" Return was roaring furiously, "How did Culture King find me?"

Just what did Su Yu do to the shoes? He was greatly anxious. He was worried that Culture King would go after him suddenly. Had Culture King detected the location of the Heaven Gate projection as well?

Return roared again, "Don't push it, Su Yu! If you push me too much, I'll end things. None of us will benefit from this!"

His senses were shouting at him that a crisis was coming. He was greatly worried about his own well-being. He had been unsettled by his previous encounter with Culture King. Su Yu did not know what happened, but he could feel Return's terror. He laughed with amusement. Did Culture King scare this guy too much? How did Culture King do it?

Poor Return. He seemed to be quite a cowardly one. He was timid yet ambitious. If he was timid enough, he should be running right about now, not shouting into the Heaven Gate projection.

Sure enough, being timid wasn't that bad. But being timid yet greedy was the scariest combination. Return was the perfect example of such a person. His greed pushed him to enter the Myriad Realms, but he was also terrified of Culture King. Su Yu didn't know if Return was simply scared of death due to his old age. Someone so timid yet greedy would die very fast in the Myriad Realms.

"If all the old fellows are the same as Return, I'll have nothing to worry about."

Su Yu laughed and ignored Return.

Boom!

He even shut the gate projection slightly to reduce the volume. He did not shut it fully, leaving a tiny opening to maintain Culture King's connection with his world. This only caused Return to grow even more anxious. There was nothing he could do to Su Yu. And in his desperation, a crazy thought appeared in his mind.

Was this guy ignoring him? Fine. Had Su Yu forgotten that his clone was still out there? He had gathered quite a lot of information through his clone.

He also understood the source of Su Yu's confidence. The subordinates of that fellow were quite powerful. No wonder that fellow was so confident. He had nine Masters of Laws under him. Including Su Yu himself, he had ten Masters of Laws in his faction. No wonder he was so arrogant. No wonder he had the courage to fight even a peak tier-two enemy.

That was because Su Yu had the biggest faction in the Myriad Realms. His enemy had attacked him several times, but he had pushed the enemy back each time with the help of his subordinates. In fact, the enemy nearly died during one of these attacks.

Return snorted. That nemesis of Su Yu was only a tier-two. Return himself was a tier-one. And he had also gathered help. Didn't Su Yu agree with the inclusion of these people as well? Fine. It was time to gather his people and move against Su Yu.

***

Su Yu was completely unbothered about Return. He was back in his own world. During the previous expansion of his world, some people had broken through. The first to break through was Empyrean Cloud. Thanks to Grandstar, she was able to cultivate the sword dao. And in the recent expansion, she had grown into a Master of Law through the sword dao.

The second to break through was Cloud Fire Marquis. This was an old general from the ancient past, also a former subordinate of King Yue. He had finally gotten lucky for once, as in the latest expansion, Su Yu had strengthened the burning dao as well.

The burning dao was somewhat different from Cloud Fire Marquis' original dao, and the dao he was actually familiar with had been snatched by Heavenly Fire. Thus, he had been stuck for quite a while. This time, it was finally his turn to break through.

Of the six powerhouses Su Yu had found in the Upper Realm back then, Shadow and Cloud Water had both been killed by Su Yu. Brave Martial and South Suppression had broken through. And now, Cloud Fire had broken through as well. Stable Army was the only one left. At the moment, he was staring at Su Yu bitterly, but he didn't know what he could say about this.

Excluding the ones who were already dead, he was the only person still stuck among their group. At the moment, he cultivated the halberd dao, which was similar to his previous spear dao. However, he seemed rather unlucky as he was still stuck as a heavenly king.

Inside the human lord's token.

A tiny world could be seen inside, and a palace stood at the very center of the world.

Empyrean Cloud, the tea plant, Great Zhou King, Cloud Fire Marquis, Heavenly Overseer Marquis, Heavenbridge Marquis, and the book spirit were gathered. Apart from Heavenbridge Marquis, who had returned from upstream, the rest were the ones who had been left behind.

In other words, Su Yu had six more Masters of Laws he could deploy. Including himself, there were now forty-two Masters of Laws in his camp. Including Xing Yue, there would be forty-three. Furthermore, Great Zhou King was already a tier-two. The book spirit was also a tier-two outside Culture King's world. And both were actually not far away from tier-one.

As for Heavenly Overseer Marquis, Su Yu had infused quite a lot of fortune into Human Emperor's world, but his world was strong enough to still support a prosperous fortune. The new breakthroughs and their previous victory over the myriad races had also greatly boosted the world's fortune, allowing Heavenly Overseer Marquis to reach tier-two as well.

Basically, the ones left behind were no pushovers either.

However, Su Yu was sighing. He said, "The ones who have yet to break through...will find it even harder to break through in the future."

When his world was expanding rapidly, the daos would strengthen as well. The ones who had yet to break through or even the ones who had broken through could benefit for this. At worst, they would need to spend some time grasping the new comprehension added to these daos.

But the ones who had yet to break through would find it much harder to master a dao when the dao grew stronger. And as Su Yu grew, the difficulty of becoming a Master of Law in his world would eventually reach the level of the River of Time.

Such a difficulty was massive. Over the past hundred thousand years, only a handful of people had made the breakthrough. Or to be precise, there were only twenty to thirty of them. On average, only one would appear every four hundred years.

A new world came with numerous opportunities. A rising tide lifts all boats. This saying was very applicable here. The existence of his new world was the key reason for there to be so many powerhouses in his camp.

Some of the people grew despondent upon hearing Su Yu's words. That was especially so for Stable Army Marquis. Grandstar, who had given his dao away, grew despondent as well. But he said nothing.

Great Xia King was absent. He had left with the secret guard members not long ago, so he didn't have the chance to grow all despondent with the others. However, most of the people here were indeed feeling quite discouraged.

So many opportunities had been presented to them, but they had somehow failed to grab onto these opportunities.

Again and again.

They could only watch as their old friends moved forward, leaving them behind. In truth, this was about the limit of what Su Yu's world could support. Almost everyone who could break through had already broken through by now. Su Yu sank into silence before focusing on a few individuals.

"Great Han King, Great Tang King, Great Song King, Grandstar, Openmountain..."

Su Yu called them out one after another.

Su Yu continued, "April, May, Space Devourer, Heavenly Measure..."

"There is still hope for you guys."

When everyone looked at him, Su Yu continued, "Can you see that village out there?" The former Dao Origin Land. That's Human Emperor's world. There aren't that many daos in his world, but most of them are common daos. Human Emperor has quite a lot of powerhouses under him, but most of them are already Masters of Laws. My idea is simple. This is our territory. If Human Emperor wishes to start growing his world, it will come with numerous opportunities. You should join his world and cultivate it alongside him."

Everyone's expressions changed.

Leaving Su Yu's world and joining Human Emperor's world.

That was an opportunity. A major opportunity.

Truthfully, there weren't a lot of daos in Human Emperor's world. And he also had a decent number of Venerables, heavenly kings, and Daofuses under him. He also had a bunch of Masters of Laws under him. It wouldn't take long for his daos to be fully split among these people. However, Su Yu could try to get some slots for his people.

Su Yu said, "You can't find any suitable daos in my world. Take Heavenly Measure as an example. The two from your race have snatched the suitable daos for your race. The same applies to Space Devourer. Your dao companion cultivates the same dao. It's also the same for April and May. I have similar daos here, but they might not be the most fitting for you."

"Therefore, you should try your luck in Human Emperor's world."

The moment he said that, Grandstar's melancholic voice rang out, "Your Majesty, are you telling us to join Human Emperor? Both of you are emperors, and we used to serve under Human Emperor, but Human Emperor...is ultimately the emperor of humanity. For us to join his world..."

This was a very hard decision for some. There had been a lot of opportunities on Su Yu's side, but they had failed to capitalize on these opportunities.

And now, Su Yu was finding a path forward for them. He was doing this for their sake, but for someone who had supported Su Yu since the beginning like Grandstar, this was still a hard decision to make.

Su Yu smiled and said, "We're essentially in the same camp. There is no conflict between Human Emperor and me in our overall plan moving forward. Of course, you can also consider yourself...spies in Human Emperor's world."

Su Yu grinned, "It is only natural that I plant some spies beside him to protect my power base, right? I can't bear to part with the Masters of Laws so I might as well take this chance to help you guys become Masters of Laws.

"The moment he transforms into a world spirit, his world will start growing rapidly. And he might be able to return to the first tier quickly after feeding his world with the human emperor dao.

"For those among you who are still stuck, this is a major opportunity. Human Emperor's world will be undergoing two phases of rapid growth in the near future. In short, you will have two opportunities to make your breakthrough. This should be enough since your dao comprehension is already enough."

There was still hope for them. Chances were high that they would benefit from this. It was quite a pity that Human Emperor did not have too many daos in his world. Culture King had more daos in his world, but he was absent. Furthermore, it would be better for his world to remain hidden. Thus, Human Emperor's world was the perfect choice for them right now. In any case, this would help both Human Emperor and the ones joining his world.

At the moment, Human Emperor's world was rather weak. There was a lot of room for growth. This was the perfect chance for the ones joining his world to grow alongside him.

Su Yu said, "In fact, I would have stuffed everyone into his world if it weren't for the lack of daos in there. But at the moment, Human Emperor is focusing on strength. Therefore, you can only join up if you're a Daofuse or stronger.

"Human Emperor still has a few ancient marquises under him awaiting breakthrough. Including those Masters of Laws, he has a hundred or so people under him. But he only has a small number of daos..."

Great Zhou King coughed. This should be enough. Su Yu had emphasized several times that Human Emperor did not have too many daos. Yes, yes. Everyone was already aware that Su Yu had a higher number of daos. Was he not tired of showing off so much?

Su Yu laughed and said, "But there are benefits to this as well. Human Emperor is different from me. The daos in his world are the daos he truly understands. I'm different. I'm borrowing everyone's effort to comprehend the myriad daos together. I also borrowed from Time Sage's hard work. In essence, I have been benefiting from everyone's hard work. In terms of dao comprehension alone, I am lacking compared to Human Emperor.

"I have thousands of daos, but only a few are as strong as proper Masters of Laws. But Human Emperor's daos are far stronger since he actually understands these daos."

In short, Su Yu had the quantity while Human Emperor had the quality. But of the two worlds, which had the bigger potential? Clearly, it was Su Yu’s. But potential did not equate to current strength. At the moment, Human Emperor had the stronger daos. After all, a single dao of Human Emperor was probably stronger than even ten of Su Yu's daos.
