Chapter 671: 72-Forged Iron Devourer (1)

Su Yu required a large amount of mountainbreak bull blood essence. If he really couldn't get enough, he could always change to a different blood essence. He would only lose some money doing so.

But money was nothing if one could get heavenly source qi in return. There were things that not even money could buy.

If the Human Realm wasn't lacking in heavenly source qi, the heavenly source fruits wouldn't have been something only Invincible descendants could enjoy. And humanity wouldn't have been desperate enough to send two of their Invincibles to enter an enemy realm for some heavenly source fruit trees.

15th of February.

Su Yu received a heavenly source fruit from Zhu Tiandao. Not even the Zhu Family had too many of these. They needed these fruits for their juniors and loyal subordinates. Thus, they didn't have that many in stock. Just giving one to Su Yu was enough to demonstrate their sincerity.

The heavenly source fruit was gold in color. It was only the size of a fist. The fruit looked slightly translucent, and inside, strands of heavenly source qi could be seen swirling about like tiny dragons.

Inside a laboratory.

The elderly of the research center had all arrived to satisfy their curiosity. For many people, the heavenly source fruit was something they had only heard about but never seen before. It didn't matter how long these people had lived. Even Wu Lan, the child of a large family, had never seen one either.

While looking at the fruit, Wu Lan said, "The Xia Family has these fruits as well, but they don't have that many. With this thing, you can shorten the time you spend in the Source Opening Realm. Most people will be stuck there for five or six years. With this thing, you can rapidly get through it."

Su Yu asked curiously, "Did Xia Huyou not use any?"

If he had, his cultivation level would have been far higher during his first meeting with Su Yu.

Wu Lan shook her head, "I don't know. I heard that the Xia Family doesn't have the habit of using this thing. For them, the Source Opening Realm is a period of accumulation. Going through that realm too fast is not necessarily a good thing. You will miss the chance to properly accumulate crucial knowledge if you get through that realm too quickly."

Each of these major families had their ways of educating their members. Some focused on nurturing young freaks. And some preferred their young talents to focus first focus on accumulating knowledge.

If one was able to complete the Source Opening process at around seven or eight, one might not be able to spare any time in the future for knowledge accumulation as one would then be too preoccupied with cultivation. Naturally, there were pros and cons to each option. As an outsider, Su Yu wouldn't say anything about that.

Su Yu nodded and asked, "How are these places preserving the heavenly source qi?"

"Generally..." Cao Hui paused slightly and said, "Well, this is only my speculation. I can't prove it. Generally, types of places can produce heavenly source qi. Firstly, the core of a realm. Secondly, a site where an Invincible had perished.

"The core of a realm is also the place where heavenly source qi is produced. Thus, this is a place that will constantly generate a large amount of heavenly source qi. As for the site where an Invincible had perished, each Invincible is an existence that has touched upon the laws of nature. The death of such an existence will result in the withering of life and disorder of time and space itself. This will interrupt the natural laws of a place, turning it into a place capable of preserving heavenly source qi."

Wen Zhong frowned, "Junior Brother Jin, in your opinion, which category does the War Shrine and Knowledge Seeking Realm fall into?"

"It is likely the former." Jin Sheng answered, "The Dual Holy Prefecture was founded at the core area of the Human Realm. But the actual core itself won't be so easy to find. I have never seen any signs of any dead Invincibles there, so I doubt it's the second category.

"Of course, nothing is certain. Perhaps some Invincibles had perished there in ancient times. Some of the ancient ruins we found contained heavenly source qi inside as well. Some of these probably used to be the residences or sects of those ancient experts. Those are the places that will normally have experts dying in meditation. And that will generally produce an area capable of preserving heavenly source qi.

"These are the two main categories of the heavenly source qi areas in the Divine, Devil, and Immortal Realms."

Su Yu nodded. He had learned something new yet again. These old fellows seemed to know everything. With them here, he was free to ask any questions he had. He would be able to get an answer for almost everything.

"Has anyone ever used heavenly source qi for body forging in the two holy lands?"

Wen Zhong said, "Don't overthink things. The two special areas can't be entered so easily. That will only waste and pollute the heavenly source qi there. Generally, the families of Invincibles will share the slots among themselves. Thus, an average of one person can enter those areas for body forging per year. But any family opting to use this quota will not receive any heavenly source fruits for the next fifty years. That is the price of doing so. And only Invincible families can participate."

Su Yu was surprised. After all, Zhu Tiandao had offered to take him there if he wanted. If Zhu Tiandao did that, they would be forsaking their share of heavenly source fruits for fifty years. Over that period of time, they also wouldn't be able to send a second cultivator there for body forging.

Yet Zhu Tiandao had generously offered that chance to him. Su Yu was the one who had rejected it. He was completely unaware of the high price behind this offer. He had thought that any member of an Invincible family could enter that place as they pleased.

Noticing Su Yu's pensive look, Wen Zhong said, "You can try asking the prefect. It has been many years since the Zhu Family used their quota. They mostly use blood essence for body forging. In fact, for people who are not aiming to undergo too many forgings, blood essence will suffice."

Rather than wasting heavenly source qi for body forging, the people in the two holy lands preferred using the heavenly source qi to grow more heavenly source fruits. As for their body forging needs, they could simply kill some enemies for blood essence.

Su Yu smiled and shook his head without saying anything. Forget it. There was no need for that. He would owe the Zhu Family a massive favor if he accepted the offer. He had his own means of getting heavenly source qi.
