Chapter 944: Eureka! (2)

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Hammer after hammer, Su Yu forged the stone statue while dripping with sweat. Even if he couldn't melt it down, it didn't matter. He only needed his Soul Expanding Art to achieve some sort of resonance with the statue to insert his character into it.

Perhaps that would allow him to move the statue around. He could then use it as a super brick and smash some Mountainseas to death with it.

Meanwhile, the stone statue was blanking out. Was the...little shit forging him?

Yes. He had finally discovered Su Yu's intention. The little shit was treating him like a weaponsmithing material.

Holy shit!

This was the very first time something like this had happened. The stone statue had experienced being burned, hammered, struck, and all sorts of attacks. But nobody had treated him as a big lump of material before.

But that was probably because no weaponsmith had ever visited him. Even the stone statue was wondering if he could be forged into a divine weapon. He ultimately concluded that if one was strong enough, that might really be possible.

After all, even a person of flesh and blood could be forged into a weapon if the correct method was used. Such a method would create a powerful weapon if the living being used was strong enough. For example, Hu Qi had forged a living Sunmoon into a weapon not long ago.

The same concept was at play here. If Su Yu was strong and lucky enough, he might really be able to forge the statue into an incredibly powerful weapon. Thus, there was no flaw in Su Yu's logic. All that remained to be seen was whether he could actually succeed.

While forging the statue, Su Yu was also taking the chance to forge his body and consolidate his cultivation. The recoil from hitting the statue was very beneficial for tempering his body. And using both the vibrate character and Soul Expanding Art was also helpful in removing more impurities from his body and willpower.

He had been growing too fast recently. Furthermore, he had been exposed to too much death qi as of late. Thus, this was the perfect chance for him to temper his body and rid himself of impurities.

Even if there was a possibility of failure, this was still an extremely rare material. Thus, Su Yu was still quite excited to work on it. With such a material, he could test all the weaponsmithing techniques he knew. A regular material would probably break into pieces after being struck a few times with his hammer. But this material was strong enough to last tens of thousands of hits or more.

Su Yu continued hitting the statue with his hammer. His mood was good. What a nice material. He was adjusting the frequency of the vibrations in his body to match the vibrations coming from the stone statue. After a while, he discovered something interesting.

The vibrations coming from the stone statue followed a certain unique tempo. In order to match the tempo, Su Yu continued adjusting the vibrations in his body.

Once, twice...

Gradually, he increased the speed of his movement. Eventually, an odd look appeared in his eyes.

As the vibrations from the statue washed over his body...

He noticed that...

All the pores on his body had suddenly opened wide.

His bones, flesh, and source qi started vibrating at a unique tempo, and a mysterious comprehension dawned on him as he muttered, "Breathing technique! This is a unique source qi breathing technique!"

The look in his eyes changed completely.

Here he was, minding his own business and forging a weapon. But he had somehow comprehended a new technique while doing so. It was a unique technique. It was not a method to open acupoints. Rather, it was a unique breathing technique that could potentially increase one's cultivation speed.

Su Yu was shocked. This breathing technique...could be used by all races! The reason for that was simple. It did not require compatible acupoints to be used. One only needed to control the tempo of vibrations within one's body to use it.

A new understanding dawned on Su Yu. So this was the so-called opportunity. Was this how the fifth principal obtained his cultivation method here? Had the fifth principal perhaps tried forging this statue as well? Was that how he obtained an inheritance from this place?

Inhale.

And exhale.

Su Yu continued hammering the statue while matching the tempo of the statue. A large amount of death qi was still stuck in his body from his previous transformations, but through this process, some darkened blood started seeping out of his pores. He was slowly expelling the death qi from his body.

Seeing what was happening, he took out some heavenly source qi to create an even better environment and started enjoying himself.

"Mortal, state your wish."

The incredibly loud voice assaulted Su Yu's eardrums.

He hurriedly said, "Senior, does the opportunity here come in the form of a wish?"

"Yes."

Instead of joy, Su Yu was even more alarmed by the reply. Was this thing alive? Was this thing not something with a predetermined set of replies? He was careful to not show his fear. Carefully, he asked, "Senior, can I ask for anything?"

"State your wish."

"I wish for the destruction of the Divine Realm and the Devil Realm..."

Silence descended. Utter silence.

Worried that he had somehow caused trouble for himself, Su Yu hurriedly said, "That might be too grand a wish. Senior, can you bestow me with a million strands of heavenearth profound light?"

"..."

Utter silence.

Carefully, Su Yu switched his request again, "Can...Senior grant me a million heavenly source fruits? Or perhaps...a clump of willpower enough to push me straight to the Sunmoon Realm? Pure willpower, preferably."

"..."

When Su Yu saw that there was still no reply, he had the urge to curse. What nonsense was this? He was asked for his wish, but no reply came when he stated his wish.

The loud voice spoke again, "State a wish appropriate for your status."

What nonsense was this little shit saying? Didn't the little shit want to leave the city? How could the little shit be so fickle?

But as far as Su Yu was concerned, if there was a way to get rid of all his enemies, what was the point of leaving? That was the only kind of wish worth making. Leaving was only a choice he made out of desperation.

A wish appropriate for his status...

After thinking about it, Su Yu carefully said, "Senior, as someone who has killed a peak Mountainsea before, I can be considered a peak Mountainsea, right?"

Just what was going on? Even now, Su Yu still didn't know where he was. He did not know that for everyone else, he was still standing in his previous spot. The stone statue did not answer.

Su Yu continued, "Can you bestow me with a thousand Mountainsea death spirit underlings?"

That was appropriate, right? If that was possible...wow! A thousand Mountainsea death spirits were probably enough to kill a bunch of Sunmoons. In that case, there was no longer any need for him to run. He could casually wait for more myriad race Sunmoons to arrive and get them all killed.

But he was also making this request to test the stone statue. Just where was he? Why did this feel so terrifying? Was this statue related to the death spirits? If it was, could the statue grant him command over a group of death spirits? The more he learned about this Heavendoom City, the more terrifying and scary it seemed.

What a bizarre city.

Meanwhile, the stone statue was trying really hard to not slap Su Yu into mincemeat. Why was the little shit making all those nonsensical requests? Did the little shit want to leave or not?

Since there was no answer, Su Yu realized that not even this wish was possible. It would seem like this mysterious existence was not so powerful, after all. It seemed incapable of anything.

But since he was still trapped in this unknown place, he had no choice but to make an easier request.

"Senior, can you bestow upon me a hundred teleportation talismans that can be used to freely leave and enter the city?"

"..."
