Su Yu wasn’t pretentious either. Succinctly, he asked, “May I know how many people of the Great Oriental Family are left now?”
The Black Dust Immortal had a grave, aggrieved look on his face. “Only a few thousand.”
Although about ten thousand people had previously fled through the transmission portal, more than half of them had perished due to the excessive extraction of their godly demon power by the transmission portal. Eventually, only a few thousand were left.
“Don’t worry, elders. Please gather the remaining people and prepare to leave the Jiuzhou cavern with me in a few days’ time. I believe that with the distance, the effect of the curse will weaken accordingly.”
“You can grow your scales quietly, and I suppose the Great Oriental Family will be able to recover its strength.”
The two elders were surprised and delighted that Su Yu was willing to take them.
“How… how should the Great Oriental Family repay you for your immense kindness?” The White Dust Immortal cast a look at the silent, sheepish Dongfang Yue who was standing behind them, and she heaved a silent sigh.
She had still stood a chance of marrying Su Yu before this, but now, how could Yue-er be a match for him? He was a married man with a family, which made it even less feasible.
All of a sudden, the White Dust Immortal caught a glimpse of the Five Elements Mountain behind them. The Black Dust Immortal did too.
The two of them exchanged a glance and nodded gently. Despite their years of study, they had never ventured into the mountain’s belly, and the Power of Five Elements of the mountain had not brought them great benefits either.
However, it seemed like Su Yu had benefited greatly from training in the mountain’s belly.
They made a joint decision. This was the most suitable gift they could afford.
“Su Yu, the Great Oriental Family has no affinity with the Five Elements Mountain, but it benefits your training. On behalf of the Great Oriental Family, we are presenting this mountain to you as a gift. We hope you won’t reject it.”
Of course, Su Yu wouldn’t reject it! The Five Elements Mountain was useless to them, but it was a priceless treasure to him!
After a round of insincere refusal, Su Yu took possession of the Five Elements Mountain, much to his pleasure.
Even though this mountain was incapable of shrinking in size, it could be accommodated by the Nine Jade Spiritual Pearl. Therefore, it saved him a great deal of trouble.
Seeing Su Yu take the mountain, the Black and the White Dust Immortals were stunned. This mountain could not be contained by any spaces, not even the spaces created by them as Mortal Fairies.
“This young man even possesses his own portable cavern world. What other treasures would he fall for? I’m afraid that he has even accepted the Five Elements Mountain out of politeness.” As they recalled Su Yu’s refusal, they laughed with bitterness. It seemed like Su Yu really was reluctant…
The Great Oriental Family had been dealt with.
Next, Su Yu had the Severed Fairy Cliff Master and the Ancient Bronze Tree Men to deal with.
After some contemplation, Su Yu used the divine-level transmission portal and traveled to the Northernmost region.
On a mountain cliff that soared into the clouds, Su Yu saw the Severed Fairy Cliff Master, who was recuperating.
“I never thought you would really succeed. It looks like my business deal wasn’t a bad idea after all.” the Severed Fairy Cliff Master laughed.
Su Yu had certainly come to fulfill his promise.
When Su Yu considered the people who had helped him the most in the Ordeal of People, the Severed Fairy Cliff Master was the first on his list.
Without this king of darkness holding the Central Prefecture’s King up for five whole days, history would have been rewritten already.
“In Six days, come to the ruins of the Central Prefecture City, board the ship, and leave.”
Upon hearing that, hints of excitement gleamed in the Severed Fairy Cliff Master’s eyes. Plaintively, he sighed, “Finally, I can leave the Jiuzhou cavern.”
Su Yu caught a hint of hatred stealthily flickering across his pupils.
It seemed like the Severed Fairy Cliff Master hadn’t come to Jiuzhou with simple intentions.
“Alright, farewell then,” Su Yu said.
The Severed Fairy Cliff Master called out to him, “Hold on! I’ve brought Wuxie back; do you want to meet up with her?”
The little devil? Su Yu smiled gently. “She’s back from the Desolate Evil Jungle? She’s not angry with me, is she?”
He had left the little devil in the Desolate Evil Jungle that day and had told her that he would come back for her after finishing his errands. Who would have expected such twists and turns?
He had almost forgotten about her. With that little lady’s temper, she must be gritting her teeth in rage right now.
“Erm…The girl, yep, she only carved your name on a tablet, and prayed every day. Yes, she must be praying.” The Severed Fairy Cliff Master forced a smile.
Su Yu’s lips twitched. “That must be a memorial tablet, right? She’s cursing me, isn’t she?”
Feeling amused, Su Yu thought for a moment before retrieving the Glittering Jewel Fairy Scepter. It was covered in cracks and seams and could be used one more time before becoming completely decrepit.
“This is the Glittering Jewel Fairy Scepter that I previously promised to get for Wuxie. I hope it helps her resolve the medicinal effect of the Spiritual Grass of Immortality.”
The Severed Fairy Cliff Master’s eyes shone as he accepted it, gratified. “Thanks a lot, Master Su. I hope it brings helps my girl.”
In fact, how could he not know that the medicinal effect of the Spiritual Grass of Immortality wasn’t something that could be simply resolved by this fairy artifact? But it wouldn’t necessarily be useless, it was always worth a try.
“Then I’ll excuse myself.” Su Yu tore open the Void and left.
The next moment, Su Yu arrived in the Desolate Evil Jungle, directly emerging in the depths of the valley.
Yinmu hurried forward immediately. He was worried about a foreign invasion. When he found out that it was Su Yu, he exclaimed, “You accomplished the Peak Mortal Fairy state so quickly? Incredible, incredible!”
The way he strove to make his stiff face look surprised was truly hilarious.
The Desolate Evil Jungle had no access to news from the outside world, so he knew nothing about what had happened out there recently.
“I’d like to meet the Tree Goddess and see if my current cultivation will be able to help her,” Su Yu said. Last time, he had only been a petty fairy. Now that he was a Peak Mortal Fairy, he wasn’t certain if he could move that long spear that was concentrated with Evil Fatal Energy.
Yinmu nodded, pleased.
He came to the underground lava once again. A young, golden-yellow tree grew amidst the lava.
Su Yu’s arrival instantly jolted the remnant soul of the Tree Goddess clinging on the small tree. But based on Su Yu’s knowledge now, it should be called a remnant of godly spirit left behind by the Tree Goddess.
“Open the divine realm,” Su Yu said.
The young tree opened its eyes. Seeing that Su Yu had come, it was elated. “How many hundreds of years have passed? Or thousands? You have achieved such cultivation?”
Being a state of deep dormancy, she had not a single clue about the passing of time.
Su Yu chuckled bitterly and did not say anything. When the divine realm opened, he entered immediately.
Just like last time, a beautiful young woman was sitting on a throne. She had a fine layer of emerald muslin covering her willowy, dainty body, and she was peacefully and adorably asleep.
A long spear had pierced her abdomen. The spear was covered in dense Evil Fatal Energy, which penetrated her body from front to back.
With Su Yu’s current eyesight, he could clearly sense that the inside of the Tree Goddess’ body was filled with the Evil Fatal Energy. Luckily, the godly spirit in her body was continuously generating godly energy, keeping out the Evil Fatal Energy.
The Evil Fatal Energy belonged to a force of the deity level. The Milky Way Star Sand did not have its artifact spirit, and could only unleash less than one-tenth of its power. It was thus unable to absorb the Evil Fatal Energy.
She could only rely on an external influence to extricate the long spear by force.
Su Yu stepped forward and grasped the long spear. The Evil Fatal Energy on the long spear began roiling turbulently all of a sudden and surged into Su Yu’s body.
Su Yu dared not be reckless. He gathered his Mortal Fairy power and firmly defended himself against the Evil Fatal Energy, barely resisting it. But it wouldn’t last long!
Keeping a tight grip on the long spear, Su Yu applied great force and pulled it outwards abruptly.
Creak!
With a dull noise, a portion of the long spear was forcefully removed.
The long spear that had initially penetrated the Tree Goddess’ body was only partly jammed in her abdomen now.
The godly spirit of the Tree Goddess was overwhelmed with joy and surprise. “It’s out, it’s out!”
Su Yu was speechless. It wasn’t like he was giving birth to a baby!
However, when Su Yu attempted another pull, the long spear did not budge. It couldn’t be retracted further.
“Young man…long time no see.” Suddenly, a bleak voice sounded from inside the young woman’s body. She was still in a state of deep sleep, yet she could speak.
The Tree Goddess had awakened!
Compared with her intermittent speech last time, the Tree Goddess could speak very fluently this time. It seemed like her consciousness had awakened thoroughly!
Finally, after some fluttering of her eyelashes, those eyes that had been closed for countless ages opened slowly,
Her grorgouse emerald eyes were glimmering with bright, glorious brilliance.
With her youthful, exuberant appearance, she exuded an inexplicable vigor and vitality. Just one look at those eyes would chase away the dark clouds in one’s heart.
Su Yu knew that this was the aura of the Divine Path naturally emanated by deities. It could easily influence the cognition of the people around them. Therefore, he acted right away, guarding his surroundings with Mortal Fairy’s Strength.
“I can finally see you, young man.” The young woman began speaking slowly. Her voice was melodious and pleasant, like a graceful flute.
She scrutinized Su Yu with her bright, beautiful eyes, and her lips curved into a gentle smile. “So this is what you look like. Last time, when my consciousness woke temporarily, I could not sense the concrete entities around me.”
“Hence, when I fell into a deep sleep, I kept thinking what kind of person you are, what race you are of, how you look.”
Su Yu dared not look into her eyes. With indifference, he said, “Sorry for letting you down, Tree Goddess.”
“No, judging with the eyes of a God, you have a beautiful appearance, I like it a lot.” The Tree Goddess wasn’t stingy with her compliments.
Su Yu was slightly embarrassed. This Tree Goddess was indeed forthright. He thought for a while, and said, “The continent has shifted, and the Jiuzhou cavern is about to become barren.”
“I’m here to inform you that six days from now, I will take you and your people to board the ship, enter the galactic world, and leave this place. That’s if your people are willing to leave.”
The Tree Goddess rubbed her temples with her fair fingers, and said, “So that is it. When I was asleep, I felt someone tampering with the ley lines of the Jiuzhou continent. So, it turns out that the entire continent is about to be shifted. If that’s the case, am I going to be homeless soon?”
When she spoke, her emerald, enchanting eyes were staring at Su Yu, glistening.
Honestly speaking, the last thing Su Yu wanted to do was to take the Tree Goddess into the Nine Jade Spiritual Pearl.
With the Tree Goddess’ sensorium, the Supreme Growth Soil wouldn’t slip under her radar. As a deity of the wood line, the Supreme Growth Soil would be too alluring of a temptation to her.
He couldn’t guarantee that she wouldn’t do something overboard, like claiming the Nine Jade Spiritual Pearl as her own.
As a deity, she wouldn’t be that shameless, would she?
Furthermore, the long spear in her abdomen hadn’t been fully extracted, so she couldn’t possibly be so audacious.
“Erm…I have a miniature cavern world, but I’m not sure if Tree Goddess and your people would be willing to rough it…”
“I’d like to!” the Tree Goddess replied without the slightest bit of hesitation. Smilingly, she said, “Wherever you take me, I’m willing to go!”
Looking at the Tree Goddess, who made no effort to act humble or gracious, Su Yu held back the words on the tip of his tongue. Intuition told him that this Tree Goddess had a personality that did not match her temperament.
“Fine, but my cavern world is rather small, and I’m afraid that it can’t accommodate too many of your people, and your Original Form…”
“None of that matters!” The Tree Goddess waved her petite hand. If she wasn’t still nailed to the throne, she would have stood up and started giving orders. “We’re so close! Just leave the small matters to me. Give me a moment.”
We are not close!
