Chapter 991: Zhu Is Here (2)

After studying the character more, Su Yu noted this character felt genuinely ancient due to its aura.

"If I can restore it properly, it will be a rather powerful character. But it won't be easy for me to make use of it. If I want to use it offensively, I need good compatibility with it. Or I can use it to create a grotto. A grotto with reflective properties?"

Su Yu shook his head. From its properties, a grotto formed of this character would be quite useless. It was possible to restore it. He only needed to use willpower or heavenly source qi and give it some time.

Su Yu thought about it. Perhaps he could restore it slightly to increase its strength. That way, it would be a lot more useful regardless of whether he wanted to plant it into a body or a weapon.

"Body..."

He needed a fake body. No, a real body would work as well. And it would be even better if it was the body of a Sunmoon divine...

"Right, I have the corpse of an eighth-stage Sunmoon divine..."

But he shook his head again. He couldn't bear to use such a valuable corpse that way.

"No...maybe this will work. I am probably strong enough to extract the blood essence in the corpse right now. I can extract half the blood essence...no, ninety percent of the blood essence. It is reasonable for the corpse to be weak since it is an ancient corpse. It is also perfectly reasonable for the corpse of a peak Sunmoon to drop to the eighth stage after countless years. It is also acceptable for its character to drop to the Mountainsea or even the Cloudbreach Realm..."

Su Yu was going to invest massively in this scam. Perhaps he would need to make use of his Sunmoon corpse for this scam. There was no profit without the willingness to invest.

He only needed the blood essence in the corpse. By extracting ninety percent of the blood essence, the remaining blood essence would allow the corpse to continue emanating the pressure of an eighth-stage Sunmoon. Wouldn't an ancient corpse capable of emanating the pressure of an eighth-stage Sunmoon even after so many years be incredible? This was most definitely a peak Sunmoon back then, right?

"But I need to make the corpse look ancient as well..."

The corpse was too fresh. Another idea rose in Su Yu's mind. That would be easy to accomplish. He only needed to bath the corpse in death qi for some time and it would instantly look old. He could even make sure nobody would recognize the aura of the corpse's original identity.

Did death spirits exist during the ancient times? If they already existed back then, the corpse would look even more convincing. He could make everyone believe that this was an ancient expert who had perished after a battle with an ancient death spirit.

"An eighth-stage Sunmoon from the divine skywing race...after processing it with death qi, installing an ancient character in it, adding an ancient weapon to it, and adding more items to the set..."

After some calculations, Su Yu concluded that this would be an extremely expensive endeavor. His investment would probably surpass twenty strands of heavenearth profound light in value after doing everything.

The largest cost was the drop of blood essence he would leave in the corpse. That blood essence alone was worth at least ten drops of first-stage Sunmoon blood essence. Coupled with everything else he was going to add, including the ancient cultivation method...

Holy shit!

He wouldn't be satisfied unless he received ten times his investment after so much work. After all, he had to invest so much resources and energy while risking his life for this scam. What even was the point of doing it if he couldn't get ten times the profit?

"Should I kidnap a Heaven Index expert and borrow the identity?"

Su Yu cursed. The difficulty would be a tad bit too high. Strictly speaking, he wasn't the weakest of the Heaven Index geniuses, but his rank was still near the bottom. Also in the Heaven Index were existences such as Zhang Wushuang, someone who had killed a Sunmoon, and Xuan Wuji, a similarly freakish genius.

Even Mo Duona, with his relatively low cultivation level, was strong enough to deal with Sunmoons.

"If not Heaven Index geniuses, I can work with Earth Index geniuses as well. I'll pick one that will be left alone by Invincibles..."

Soon, several names appeared in Su Yu's mind. The first name he thought of was Topsoil Spirit. That was someone from the five elemental race. That was not a weak race, and it was unlikely that their Invincibles would pay too much attention to him when he was traveling the Allheaven Battlefield.

It was also quite likely that he had the freedom to freely deal with the treasures he found during his travels. Thus, it wouldn't be too suspicious for him to sell something like an ancient Sunmoon corpse.

The little golden dragon would work fine as well. That was an Invincible descendant. And it was evident that was an extremely arrogant person. He was also very petty. He might not be willing to hand any treasure he found to the dragon race obediently, as long as his own family did not force him to hand the treasure over.

The third name Su Yu thought of was Tianduo. That was a genius from the original devil race, also an Invincible descendant. Since the original devil race was giving most of their support to Mo Duona, Tianduo had been neglected. Not even his ancestor cared about him too much.

Su Yu heard that during the ancient city incident, Tianduo's ancestor had not even bothered to show up. The devil king that had arrived was only there for Mo Duona. Nevertheless, his status was still useful. Apart from his ancestor, other devil kings would not be able to easily snatch the treasure he was selling from him.

These were the suitable identities Su Yu could think of. Mo Duona's identity was most certainly the best among them. Not even the devil kings would say anything if Mo Duona was the one selling the treasure.

"Ninestar Island...all these fellows are probably there. But it won't be easy to catch either of them. Some experts might be paying close attention to that place. Things will get troublesome if those experts notice anything. I need to go there as well."

He only needed to capture one of them. Such an identity would even be helpful when he was making his escape. With the borrowed identity, nobody would lay a hand on him for a short period of time. The plan was near completion.

But it wouldn't be an easy plan to carry out. But that was fine. The harder it was, the more believable it would be. As for the risk of exposing his ability to transform into a different race...what nonsense. They already somewhat knew about it.

Ever since his identity as the fake Cui Lang was exposed, everyone was aware of his ability to alter his appearance and aura. Even Sunmoons couldn't easily see through his disguise. Everyone already knew that.

But what did it matter? It wasn't like they would be able to magically see through his disguise by knowing he was capable of disguise. But this had also somewhat ruined his original plan to affirm his dao with a fake identity.

"Time to visit my old friends at Ninestar Island. I'll just aim for any of them that's traveling alone."

He was quite confident in his ability to capture people like Tianduo, the little golden dragon, and Topsoil Spirit as long as they were alone. But the Dragon Realm was near...forget it. He would only capture the little golden dragon if he was out of options. He didn't want to attract the attention of any dragon Invincible.

As for Topsoil Spirit and Tianduo, their Invincibles would take some time to reach even if they decided to come.

"I also need to find a good place to extract the blood essence from the corpse and process it with death qi."
