It Can't Be Just Me Getting Blown Away!

Wield divine mystery and reflect it upon the present world!

See the Rules unseen by all living beings, walk the Dao rhythm incomprehensible to the world!

Like a god among mortals!

Every one of those sentences fiercely stirred Su Tu's nerves.

Wasn't this the mystery he had been pursuing all along?

His conversation with Li Hu today had been immensely worthwhile. Not only had he learned that traces of human immortals existed in the depths of the starry sky.

He had also learned that those mysterious dynasties from history might still exist.

And now, he had confirmed that Martial Dao was the mystery and power he had always sought.

The races of the starry sky, All Gods and Immortals, the "beasts" etched into humanity's bloodline—all of it constantly pulled at Su Tu, making him want to witness this magnificent world.

He wanted to see the splendor of it all with his own eyes. He wanted to peer into every hidden secret!

Su Tu still wanted to ask more.

But suddenly, Li Hu's phone vibrated. He picked it up and glanced at it, and the honest smile on his face took on a somewhat crafty edge, as though he were plotting something.

"Come on, come on, let's go to the training hall now. We should make it in time. It can't be just me getting blown away!"

He grabbed Su Tu by the arm, and Su Tu felt as if he were flying.

Is this what a high-level martial artist is capable of?! Su Tu was stunned. He was standing right beside Li Hu, yet he could not make out the other's movements at all.

He only felt his body lighten, and the two of them were already inside the elevator.

"Brother Tiger, we haven't looked at the things in the other two boxes yet," Su Tu said. He was still very curious about what the other two boxes contained, aside from the Heart and Mind Incense and Star Quenching Elixir.

Although Li Hu had taken a Mind Stone from one of them, Su Tu had clearly seen there were still things inside. The other box was heavy, yet it had not been opened.

"The box with the Mind Stones is completely useless to you now. I originally planned to use them to help raise your Heart and Mind Height, but there's no need for them anymore."

"The other box has five million in cash. Consider it a personal thank-you. I watched TV a few days ago, and they said cash was more sincere. Although I had you leave first yesterday because I was worried some idiot might come looking for trouble, the credit was still recorded under my name.

"The Star Quenching Elixir and Heart and Mind Incense are what you deserve. I can't just give you those things and call us even. I figured you lived alone, junior brother, so you probably needed money. That's why I brought you a little something. It's nothing worth mentioning. You don't have to look if you don't want to."

Li Hu held onto Su Tu as they strode forward at incredible speed, his tone as forthright as ever.

But Su Tu's expression shifted slightly when he heard that.

What the hell??

Five million in cash??

Hold on!!

You should've said so earlier! I would've had to open that box and see what five million actually looked like!

True, the Martial Dao technology Su Tu had encountered recently was all extraordinarily valuable, casually worth millions or tens of millions.

But once those things reached Su Tu's hands, they were merely elixirs and items. The impact of seeing actual money with his own eyes was completely different.

Forget five million in cash—Su Tu had never even seen one million in his entire life.

It wasn't that Su Tu was particularly greedy. He simply wanted to know what it felt like to sleep on a pile of money.

"Oh no. If Sister Zhang goes to my place later, she won't get the wrong idea, will she?"

Su Tu remembered a detail. Li Hu had opened the switch on the box containing the five million earlier.

Now that Sister Zhang's home had been wrecked beyond recognition in yesterday's battle, she would definitely return to her own place. If she happened to come across the box and saw all that money, she might tell his parents.

Su Tu knew all too well how wildly imaginative his parents could be.

When he was little, he played house with a little girl once, and the two of them actually wanted to discuss him marrying into her family with her parents. Don't ask why he would be marrying into her family—Su Tu's face would give you the answer.

If those two found out he had five million sitting at home, wouldn't they turn the house upside down? Who knew what they might imagine.

"Ah, you mean the homeowner who discovered the Xie Race member yesterday?"

"Don't worry. The Public Security Bureau asked her to come in for questioning. That Xie Race member had somewhat complicated social connections, so the girl needs to cooperate with the investigation. She won't be back anytime soon."

"I've already arranged for someone to bring her back once the investigation is over."

Li Hu's words cleared up Su Tu's confusion. After all, it was strange for someone as lazy as Zhang Meng to buy him breakfast early in the morning, then vanish without a trace.

After something so major had happened yesterday, being questioned was perfectly understandable.

"Are there a lot of beasts that infiltrate the Ancestral Star?"

"A lot! A tremendous number! Their hatred for humanity is an instinct as natural as eating and sleeping. Once they learned where the Ancestral Star was, they couldn't suppress that impulse."

"Xiao Tu, with your talent, Martial Dao Luck will most likely favor you. In those beasts' eyes, you're equivalent to a great medicinal herb. You must be careful."

Li Hu gave him a serious warning.

Su Tu said nothing. His gaze only shifted again and again.

I'm a great medicinal herb?

He suddenly recalled that eerie, evil gaze he had sensed in the darkness before. Perhaps that creature had regarded him as a great medicinal herb.

But...

Will you bring me new skills too?

The system page for Divine Skills appeared before Su Tu's eyes.

Divine Skills were powerful. Eternal Life alone had already given Su Tu nearly immortal survivability. If he obtained other Divine Skills, his strength would increase once again.

And hunting these beasts might just be the way to obtain Divine Skills.

In broad daylight, the wind howled through the ravines; beneath the bloody moon at noon, who was the great medicinal herb, and who was the prey?!

A faint, shadowy gleam flickered in Su Tu's eyes.

Inside Moon Stepping Martial Arts Hall.

Within the quiet wooden cabin, a soothing mist that calmed the mind and settled the spirit slowly drifted through the air. Heart and Mind Incense worth a million burned gradually.

Zhou Wuliang sat in a Grand Master's Chair. Before him, three young men and women sat cross-legged.

All of them wore devices resembling VR goggles. Their bodies were taut, and sweat beaded on their foreheads.

On the wall before them, a scroll slowly unfurled. A faint glow seemed to flicker across it, but to ordinary eyes, it was nothing but blankness.

"Don't force yourselves to see it. It doesn't matter if you can't see clearly. Focus on feeling what the divine mystery brings you, and try your best to remember that feeling."

Zhou Wuliang's voice was calm and unhurried.

The three before him were Tang Yangwu, Luo Fan, and Mo Ya. They had opened the most acupoints, and their Heart and Mind Height had reached a flawless level, allowing them to undergo Dao Gathering.

He should have taught them yesterday, but the sudden incident had forced him to postpone it until today.

"The Secret Painting I wield is called Great Yin Falling Sky. Its true meaning lies in gazing upon the ancient true god Great Yin and drawing forth the true god's Main Body.

"Etch the Great Yin Grand Moon above your heart, preserve the clarity of your True Self, and remain untouched by dust beneath the moonlight. It can enhance your comprehension. If you are fortunate enough to construct a True Self World, you may even summon the Great Yin Grand Moon and crush the heavens beneath it!"

Only with the guidance of weak electrical currents and Heart and Mind Incense could Tang Yangwu and the other two barely see a faint black moon appearing upon the Secret Painting. It seemed to be covered in countless densely packed mysterious words, but they could not see them clearly.

Even so, they continued staring at it with all their might, trying to remember even a trace of the Grand Moon's divine bearing.

Zhou Wuliang had drawn upon the Bright Moon Great Yin and severed a race's bloodline. They all knew of this matter. Their families had paid a tremendous price so they could master this Secret Painting.

The opportunity was right before them. How could they not give it everything they had?

Zhou Wuliang watched the three and shook his head slightly.

He had paid a tremendous price to obtain this Secret Painting in his youth. It contained a faint trace of a true god's intent. Though incomparably weak, it could not be gathered by anyone lacking heaven-defying talent.

These three were already geniuses in the conventional sense, but being able to glimpse even a corner of Great Yin was their limit.

After all, this was a transaction of interests. If they could master it, so much the better—they could help him contend for his position. If they could not, then he would simply have gained benefits for nothing. The only blame lay with these children for not measuring up.

He had traveled the starry sky for many years and seen quite a few geniuses, but there were not many who could gain insight from the Great Yin Falling Sky Painting.

After all, the truly peerless geniuses were heirs of other lineages. Even if they were willing to let him teach them, he would not be willing to do so.

There had once been a genius under his tutelage who glimpsed Great Yin within three days, but that person would never call him Master again.

For some reason, he suddenly thought of the new prodigy student he had recently accepted. The boy had gained insight from ancient books, acquired a mysterious Base Skill, and possessed considerable talent in techniques. He wondered what kind of talent the child had in matters of the heart and mind.

If he possessed talent like Qi Zi's, seeing Great Yin within three days...

Zhou Wuliang suddenly laughed at himself. In his old age, he had grown greedy.

Among the three paths of body, mind, technique, and Martial Dao, excelling in even one was already a blessing from heaven. How could there be a genius in this world who was exceptional at everything?

Outside the Martial Arts Academy.

The honest smile on Li Hu's face had become somewhat strange.

It can't be just me getting blown away. Master, you old man have to suffer with me too! he thought.

Then he looked seriously at Su Tu.

"Xiao Tu, Master is guiding Luo Fan and the others in comprehending the Secret Painting. I'll take you in now. See as much as you can, and give it everything you've got, understand!"

"Give it everything you've got!!" Li Hu suppressed his voice, but there was an inexplicable excitement in his tone.

Su Tu, standing beside him, nodded earnestly.

"Guaranteed win."
