Chapter 501: Middlemen Profit from the Spread, the Moves of Heavenly Thunder Peak

The next day, Su Yu woke from his cultivation.

After a night of cultivation, the cultivation he advanced yesterday was now completely solidified for Su Yu.

Although he did not cultivate within the Dao River, under the effect of an Upper Grade Grand Dao Stone.

Compared with the Dao River, it was only a shade less.

After all, one Upper Grade Grand Dao Stone already equals ten thousand Lower Grade Grand Dao Stones.

And last night, Su Yu cultivated two Lower Grade Grand Dao Stones and one Middle Grade Grand Dao Stone.

It should be known that even a Dao Realm strongman needs a full day to completely absorb an Upper Grade Grand Dao Stone.

It takes a whole day.

But under the effect of the Great Wilderness Devouring Heaven Technique and within Su Yu's bottomless dantian.

Su Yu's absorption speed was rapid.

Not only did he stabilize his cultivation, Su Yu even found that his mortal Dao length increased by ten thousand li.

Reaching twenty thousand li.

However, an increase of ten thousand li was still limited for Su Yu now.

Only by surpassing one hundred thousand li could Su Yu gain a substantial boost.

And Ten Thousand Dao Unity also successfully rose to one hundred ten thousand li.

"At this rate, in a month I can raise Ten Thousand Dao Unity to the two‑hundred‑thousand‑li level!"

Su Yu murmured.

In fact, at this pace, Su Yu could reach three hundred thousand li without any difficulty.

But don't forget, the further one goes in the Dao, the harder it is to extend the length.

So Su Yu made a cautious estimate.

"Today I'll exchange some Lower Grade Grand Dao Stones to guarantee a month of cultivation, then go to the Library to exchange those Dao Techniques..."

"Raise the level of the Great Wilderness Devouring Heaven Technique."

"As for the Nine Dragon Celestial Blade, no rush; it's sufficient for now. Only by raising the Dao Technique's level can I close the gap between me and the Celestial Pride of Azure Dragon Hall!"

Su Yu murmured.

Although it seemed that the Nine Dragon Celestial Blade and the Great Wilderness Devouring Heaven Technique had already reached the sixth‑level Dao Technique tier.

But the Nine Dragon Celestial Blade also has a seventh‑blade cultivation method; with Su Yu's current cultivation, he can barely wield only the fifth blade.

As for the sixth and seventh blades, Su Yu feels he must first raise his Dao Power to five hundred thousand li to successfully use them.

However, the Great Wilderness Devouring Heaven Technique is different; its Dao Technique's operation has far fewer restrictions, and even when there are, they are simpler.

Thus, if the Dao Technique's level is raised, his cultivation speed will also increase.

To be honest, sixth‑level Dao Technique is not considered very powerful among the inner sect disciples of Azure Dragon Hall.

Basically, core disciples all wield sixth‑level Dao Techniques, and even higher Dao Technique Martial Techniques.

Su Yu opened the cave dwelling's door and stepped out slowly.

And this step immediately attracted many eyes.

Figures moved behind Su Yu, silently following.

Although these people wore Azure Dragon Hall robes, the chest designs differed from those of Azure Dragon Peak.

On Azure Dragon Peak's chest, a vivid embroidered Azure Dragon was displayed.

But these people's chests bore patterns resembling bolts of lightning.

The answer is simple.

These people are all from Heavenly Thunder Peak.

Although Azure Dragon Hall is divided into nine peaks, disciples from other peaks can also ascend Azure Dragon Peak.

Each peak has different foundations; to let disciples develop their strengths, even those not belonging to a peak may cultivate there by paying some Grand Dao Stones.

Their appearance naturally caught Su Yu's attention.

However, Su Yu did not mind.

This is Azure Dragon Peak, controlled by his senior sister; what trouble could arise?

Su Yu arrived at Ten Thousand Treasures Tower and walked confidently to Elder Xu.

Elder Xu seemed to have known Su Yu's arrival, grinned and cheerfully asked, "Kid, what do you want?"

Su Yu whispered, "Can I exchange Grand Dao Stones?"

Elder Xu's surprised expression flickered, but he kept smiling, "Of course, but in Azure Dragon Hall, exchanging Grand Dao Stones incurs a ten‑percent fee. Are you aware of that?"

Su Yu was taken aback; he didn't know that.

Elder Xu explained, "The sect supports you; taking a little money isn't excessive. If we charged nothing, what would happen if the sect went bankrupt?"

Su Yu's mouth twitched; the great Eastern Territory overlord speaking of bankruptcy.

If this spread, countless people would be stunned.

However, exchanging Grand Dao Stones can only be done here unless one leaves Azure Dragon Hall for the outside world.

A ten‑percent fee is just ten percent; after all, it's all free for me.

Su Yu produced two Upper Grade Grand Dao Stones and whispered, "Exchange them for Lower Grade Grand Dao Stones, please!"

Seeing the Upper Grade Grand Dao Stones in Su Yu's hand, Elder Xu raised an eyebrow but continued his motions.

"I've seen many Grand Dao Stone exchanges, but most use Lower Grade stones to get Middle or Upper Grade. It's rare to see someone exchange Upper for Lower."

Then Elder Xu took out eighteen thousand Lower Grade Grand Dao Stones, placed them in a ring, and handed them to Su Yu.

"After the ten‑percent fee, there are only eighteen thousand!"

Su Yu didn't mind; eighteen thousand was enough for him to synthesize four thousand five hundred Upper Grade Grand Dao Stones.

It's enough for me to cultivate on my own.

Su Yu picked up the ring, prepared to leave, and a half‑smiling voice of Elder Xu came from behind.

"The few guys following you aren't exactly friendly!"

"Mind your status; when it's time to be domineering, be domineering. This is Azure Dragon Peak, a mountain personally controlled by the Hall Master."

Su Yu's steps halted, a faint smile tugging at his mouth. "I understand."

Su Yu put away the Dao Stone and walked out of Wanbao Tower.

Elder Xu cast a deep glance at Su Yu's silhouette, smiled abruptly, curled up in his chair, closed his eyes, and seemed to fall into a deep sleep.

Su Yu exited Wanbao Tower and arrived at an open clearing, where his steps came to a stop.

"You've followed me this long; step out now. What, not had enough of a look?"

Su Yu's voice rang across the earth.

Yet there was still no response.

Su Yu sighed, and the next moment, a tremendously turbulent wave surged from within his body, exploding with a roar.

A gray Great Dao suddenly materialized, rolling like the mighty Yangtze.

Su Yu thrust a horizontal fist toward a direction.

Carrying a forward‑charging momentum, it erupted instantly.

Boom!

From deep within that direction came a muffled sound.

Soon a disciple of Heaven Thunder Peak, clutching his chest with a grim expression, stepped forward.

It wasn't just him; around him, several other Heaven Thunder Peak disciples emerged one after another.

That move attracted the attention of many passing Azure Dragon Peak disciples.

"Huh? Aren't those Heaven Thunder Peak disciples? How did Su Yu find them?"

"Judging by their stance, they seem ready to strike Su Yu!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Su Yu is the Hall Master's junior brother. Heaven Thunder Peak folks brazenly picking a fight with him—aren't they afraid of the Hall Master's retribution?"

The Azure Dragon Peak disciples halted and watched.

Cultivation has always been a tedious affair; if they can spot some amusement, it becomes a spice to their lives.

"Truly worthy of being the Hall Master's junior brother, he even sensed our presence!"

The leading youth, clutching his chest, said gloomily.

Su Yu gave the few a casual glance.

None of these people were weak; each possessed power exceeding 200,000 li.

Su Yu looked at them lightly and said softly,

"If you're going to act, hurry up; I'm pressed for time."

The leading youth's complexion darkened; he felt his group had been looked down upon.

"We've long heard the Hall Master's junior brother is extremely arrogant; seeing him today confirms it."

"To be frank, my companions and I have long wanted to test the Hall Master's junior brother's strength. Would you be willing to let us learn from you?"

Clearly, they had done some investigation on Su Yu.

The news of Su Yu defeating Gu Yan yesterday had only spread within Azure Dragon Peak.

But any investigation would easily uncover it.

Thus, those who came to trouble Su Yu this time were all of the 200,000‑li Great Dao level.

The leading youth had even reached a cultivation of 250,000 li.

Even a disciple of the 300,000‑li Great Dao would feel a chill at this formation.

Yet Su Yu's gaze remained utterly calm.

"So much nonsense!" gōΠb. ōγg

As the words fell, Su Yu moved.

The War Sky Blade silently materialized, and an ancient aura surged forth.

"Nine Dragon Sky Blade... Four Dragon Surge!"

Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!!!

Four ferocious golden giant dragons instantly spiraled between heaven and earth, interlaced with terrifying waves.

They erupted in an instant.

A few Heaven Thunder Peak disciples' expressions shifted slightly, though they had long known Su Yu's combat power was impressive.

Yet when facing him directly, a trace of panic rose in their hearts.

The leading youth shouted, "What are you afraid of? He's just one person; together we can easily deal with him!"

"Heaven Thunder Domain Palm!"

The leading youth struck a palm outward; thunder rolled in, and the Great Dao behind him crackled with countless lightning arcs.

Other Heaven Thunder Peak disciples also unleashed their attacks in succession.

Aiming to suppress Su Yu's golden dragon.

Su Yu flicked out a strike, his expression serene.

"Seems... not enough..."

Su Yu paused briefly, then swung another blade.

"Nine Dragon Sky Blade... Five Dragon Chant!"

Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!!!

Again five golden giant dragons roared out, and this time their power seemed to directly surpass the previous Four‑Dragon Surge!

Boom—!!!

The golden dragons instantly erupted with incomparable power.

In an instant, they broke through everyone's attacks.

Under the stunned gaze of the Azure Dragon Peak disciples, the onslaught was brutally shattered against them.

The terrifying power erupted instantly.

In the blink of an eye, several Heavenly Thunder Peak disciples' bodies were instantly blasted outward.

They struck the mountain fiercely, carving out hole after hole.

Sss!

The watching Azure Dragon Peak disciples couldn't help but gasp.

"This combat power... is probably Approaching Infinity, around three hundred thousand li of power!"

"Truly worthy of the Hall Master's junior brother, the strength is so terrifying!"

"And have you noticed, Su Yu's cultivation seems to have risen by ten thousand li; it was clearly 100,000 li yesterday, today it's 110,000 li—how terrifying!"

The disciples stared in horror at Su Yu's figure.

Su Yu lightly turned and walked toward the Library Pavilion.

He gave the Heavenly Thunder Peak disciples not even a glance.

The next moment, Elder Xu's figure appeared, glanced at the departing Su Yu, then smiled and walked to the Heavenly Thunder Peak disciples.

"Destroy the Azure Dragon Peak mountain, each person pays ten thousand Lower‑grade Grand Dao Stones before leaving!"

The few Heavenly Thunder Peak disciples' faces slightly changed.

At that moment, a deep, resonant voice rang out.

"Elder Xu, I've covered these costs!"

From the void above, a youth clad in a blue robe, with bolts of lightning dancing on his body, slowly approached.

He smiled and said to Elder Xu,

"Sss, isn't that the true‑disciple Leiming of Heavenly Thunder Peak? What brings him here?"

"Could all this be at Leiming's command?"

The remaining Azure Dragon Peak disciples stared in horror at Leiming standing in the void.

Elder Xu squinted and said lightly, "True disciples may not strike inner‑gate disciples."

"You shouldn't need my explanation."

Leiming seemed unfazed by Elder Xu, still smiling as he said, "Don't worry, Elder Xu, I still know the rules of the Azure Dragon Hall."

"It's just a petty 100,000‑li Grand Dao; I don't need to step in!"

Leiming tossed a ring, and with a wave of his hand, seized those Heavenly Thunder Peak disciples.

Leiming.

The few Heavenly Thunder Peak disciples weakly cupped their hands to Leiming.

"You're a fellow who accomplishes nothing but causes plenty of failure!"

Leiming's expression darkened, he snorted coldly, then led the few away from Azure Dragon Peak.

Elder Xu gazed deeply toward Leiming's departing direction.

"It seems Heavenly Thunder Peak is about to become restless!"

Having said that, Elder Xu shook his head and vanished here.

On the back mountain of Azure Dragon Peak, Su Yu returned to his own cave dwelling.

He had already, in the Library Pavilion, obtained two Fifth‑grade Daoist Technique manuals and returned to his cave.

He didn't know what happened after he left, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.

Pulling out the Synthesis Slot, Su Yu synthesized the Great Wilderness Devouring Heaven Manual to the Seventh‑grade Daoist Technique level.

And the eighth layer of the Great Wilderness Devouring Heaven Manual was also successfully inherited by Su Yu.

Su Yu did not begin cultivation immediately.

Instead, he placed the 18,000 Lower‑grade Grand Dao Stones he had exchanged into the Synthesis Slot for synthesis.

Finally, he successfully synthesized 4,500 Upper Grade Grand Dao Stones.

Su Yu wanted to continue synthesizing, but the Synthesis Slot indicated it could not proceed.

Su Yu shook his head and opened the Attributes tab.

In the Synthesis Points column, his synthesis points had already reached over twenty thousand.

Su Yu's eyes lit up, and he immediately opened the Marketplace!

After endless unconsciousness, Shi Yu suddenly rose from the bed. Please,

He gulped fresh air, his chest trembling.

Confusion, incomprehension, a flood of emotions rose in his heart.

Where is this?

Then, Shi Yu subconsciously surveyed his surroundings, becoming even more bewildered.

A single‑person dormitory?

Even if he had been rescued, he should now be in a ward.

And his own body... how could there be no injury at all?

With doubt, Shi Yu's gaze swept the room quickly, finally resting on a mirror at the bedside.

The mirror reflected his current appearance: about seventeen or eighteen years old, looking very handsome.

But the problem is, this isn't him! Read the latest chapter content ad‑free for free.

My former self was a handsome youth in his twenties with an impressive bearing, who had been working for a while.

But now, no matter how you look at it, this appearance is that of a high‑school student…

This change left Shi Yu stunned for a long time.

Never tell him that the surgery was a great success…

Body and appearance have changed; this is no longer a question of surgery versus no surgery, but of immortal technique.

He has completely become another person!

Could it be… that I have transmigrated?

Besides the mirror at the bedside, whose placement was obviously bad feng shui, Shi Yu also discovered three books nearby.

Shi Yu picked one up, and the title instantly left him speechless.

Beginner Caretaker's Essential Beast‑Raising Manual

Post‑natal Care for Pet Beasts

Guide to Evaluating Cross‑Species Beast‑Ear Maidens

Shi Yu:???

The first two titles are fairly normal; what's up with the last one?

"Cough."

Shi Yu's gaze hardened, and he reached out, but his arm stiffened quickly.

Just as he was about to open the third book to see what it actually was, his brain suddenly throbbed with a sharp pain, and a flood of memories surged up like a tide.
