315: Become an immortal today! Die in battle tomorrow!!!
The old woman’s heart was on the verge of collapse.
Yes.
It was truly on the verge of collapse.
That bowl of soup was prepared for the Guanyin Temple Abbot.
Even a Thirteenth Realm cultivator who drank it would forget everything from their past, completely.
The Guanyin Temple Abbot was very, very strong.
If she drank this bowl of soup and forgot her past, then naturally, she wouldn’t have to die.
At that time, she could join the Night Watcher and contribute her strength to the Night Watcher.
But now, this bowl of soup was drunk by Su Yu!
Beside him, Zhan was also stunned!
But very quickly, he reacted and immediately pounced on Su Yu, prying open his mouth, wanting him to spit it out!
You dare to drink anything!
Do you know what this is?
This is not tea!!
This is meng po soup!!!
At this moment, Zhan was very anxious.
Drinking this stuff would make one forget everything from the past.
If one forgot their past, even if they were still alive, they would be a different person.
To put it unpleasantly, this was equivalent to death!!!
Even if memory was restored through some means countless years later, it would no longer have any meaning.
How many years was Su Yu’s past?
Only eighteen years.
Eighteen years, how many years of memory could there be?
Let’s just say eighteen years of memory.
If Su Yu only recovered his memory ten thousand years later, then the past eighteen years of memory would be nothing more than an insignificant ripple in the vast ocean of Su Yu’s ten thousand years of memory.
It could be said without exaggeration that by then, it would not cause any ripples at all.
Su Yu was Su Yu, not anyone else.
Nor did he need to become anyone else.
The current Su Yu was quite good.
“What are you doing?”
Su Yu pushed Zhan away, put the teacup back, and then stared at Zhan, saying unhappily, “I’m just drinking a cup of tea, is that really necessary?”
Zhan’s expression was somewhat surprised.
Su Yu savored the taste and couldn’t help but say, “It tastes pretty good.”
The old woman rolled her eyes.
How could it not taste good?
Back then, if the soup that countless deceased beings were supposed to drink didn’t taste good, did they know how much work difficulty would be added?
Therefore, she had always been researching and improving it.
Eventually, this bowl of soup became the most delicious in the world.
At least, the taste was very good.
At this moment, Su Yu continued, “What kind of tea is this? Where can I buy it?”
After a pause, seeing that no one answered him, Su Yu continued, “Or is this something that was dug up?”
Seeing that no one still answered him, Su Yu smiled and said, “How about this, I’ll buy it with money. If that doesn’t work, I’ll trade something for some. That should work, right?”
Growing up, Su Yu had never drunk such delicious tea before.
When he encountered it, he naturally wanted to get more.
Even if it was just to satisfy his craving, that would be very good.
“What’s your name?”
Zhan looked at Su Yu with suspicion and asked.
“Are you crazy? You don’t even recognize me?”
Su Yu grinned and said, “My name is Su Yu, Minister of the Night Watcher of Great Xia Tianhe Branch!”
There was some surprise in Zhan’s eyes. He turned his head to look at the old woman and asked, “Grandma, how long does the soup you make now take to take effect?”
The old woman heard this, paused, and said, “Originally, this was prepared for the Guanyin Temple Abbot.”
“If she drank it, it should take effect in three to five seconds.”
She glanced at Su Yu, her expression somewhat surprised, and slowly said, “As for Minister Su…”
“His Cultivation is too weak, it will take effect the moment it reaches his mouth.”
“Moreover, this amount was prepared for the Guanyin Temple Abbot. If Minister Su drank all of it, he would forget ten thousand years of memory completely!”
That’s what she said, but she stared at Su Yu, genuinely surprised, even somewhat doubting life.
Su Yu drank all of it, yet he could still state his name.
He even remembered his identity.
This… shouldn’t be!
After hearing this, Zhan turned his head back, stared at Su Yu again, and asked, “What’s your name?”
“Zhan, you good-for-nothing! Minister already told you, Minister is Su Yu, the Minister of the Night Watcher of Great Xia Tianhe Branch!!!” Su Yu also realized something was wrong.
But now, he was clearly fine.
Zhan kept asking, it was really annoying.
For the first time, Zhan heard someone call him “good-for-nothing” and it sounded so pleasant.
But what exactly was going on?
That was meng po soup!!!
Su Yu drank it, why was he perfectly fine?
Zhan looked at the old woman again and said weakly, “Grandma, this soup of yours, it’s not fake, is it?”
Otherwise, how could this scene be explained?
It was too bizarre.
Even he wouldn’t dare to drink this soup.
If he drank it, he would truly forget everything.
“How could the soup personally brewed by this old woman be fake?”
The old woman was very displeased.
Was it easy for her these past three years?
In the past three years, people had dug up many existences.
Even now, some people in the Night Watcher had drunk the soup she brewed.
It had never failed.
Only this time was an exception.
In the office, figures all had surprised expressions in their eyes.
There were so many people here, and besides Su Yu, they all knew that what was in the teacup was meng po soup.
It couldn’t be drunk.
But Su Yu drank it, and currently, he seemed perfectly fine.
“Eh?”
Suddenly, Su Yu’s eyes showed surprise, and he let out a soft sound.
“What’s wrong?” Zhan immediately turned his head to look at Su Yu.
Su Yu absolutely couldn’t have anything happen to him.
At this moment, Zhan was very worried, afraid that Su Yu would look blankly and utter, “Who am I? Where am I?”
Su Yu remained silent, only sensing.
In his Inner World, it was constantly shaking.
A Divine Script suddenly condensed.
It was a “Forget” Divine Script.
Because he drank meng po soup, a “Forget” Divine Script condensed in Su Yu’s Inner World.
Not only that, but as the “Forget” Divine Script condensed, its aura soared.
In the blink of an eye, it directly entered the War Venerable Realm.
And it was still rising.
Soon.
The “Forget” Divine Script rose to War Venerable Ninth Order, and only then did it stop!!!
Su Yu’s expression immediately became startled.
Minister just drank a bowl of tea, and he actually became a War Venerable Ninth Order expert???
Moreover, Su Yu sensed that the “Forget” Divine Script could clearly still improve, with plenty of momentum.
But for some reason, it seemed like something was blocking it ahead.
Otherwise, Su Yu felt that he could instantly rise above War Venerable.
And even after that, he could continue to improve!!!
Zhan had been staring at Su Yu.
At this moment, Zhan suddenly showed a surprised expression.
This was insane!
Su Yu entered War Venerable Ninth Order in the blink of an eye?
Suddenly, he turned his head to look at the old woman.
He didn’t speak, but his eyes showed a questioning look.
Did you replace the meng po soup with some kind of Immortal nectar?
Otherwise, how could this be?
How to explain it?
The old woman slowly shook her head.
I didn’t.
Don’t talk nonsense.
If I really had such a thing, I would have drunk it long ago, how could I leave it for Su Yu?
Impossible.
Just then, Su Yu looked up, his gaze falling on the old woman, and he asked with a smile, “Grandma, is there any more of this tea? It’s quite delicious, I’d like another bowl.”
Just now, Su Yu heard Zhan call the old woman Grandma.
So, he followed suit.
The old woman heard this and couldn’t help but laugh, shaking her head, “Minister Su is joking, this old woman only brewed this one bowl, there’s no more now.”
She appeared very gentle on the surface, but inwardly, she was also very surprised.
Vaguely, she recalled some things.
Countless years ago, she once stood on the Bridge of Helplessness.
One day, a person came.
He specifically asked to drink the soup she personally brewed.
That person drank the soup she brewed.
And forgot everything.
And left.
A few days later, That person came again.
Saying that the soup she brewed wasn’t potent enough.
It had only been a few days, and it had already lost its effect.
Now, he was back again, and wanted to drink her soup again.
And this time, he wanted to drink a lot, a lot.
That day, she did nothing else, and specifically brewed soup for an entire day.
That person drank it, and forgot everything again.
A few more days passed, and That person came again.
Saying that he remembered everything again.
So, she brewed soup for him again.
After hundreds of consecutive times, she collapsed.
Vaguely, she still remembered that he was the only person who drank her soup and consistently couldn’t forget his past.
Now, she suddenly remembered.
The memory was a bit blurry.
And even somewhat incomplete.
But this incident still made her recall a general idea.
Now, another person came.
Drank her soup, as if he hadn’t drunk it at all.
And even assimilated the power within the soup.
Turning it into his own power.
Yes.
She sensed that Su Yu had condensed the “Forget” Divine Script.
After a pause, she smiled again and said, “If Minister Su likes it, this old woman will brew another bowl of soup for Minister Su another day.”
Actually, she was a bit curious.
She wanted to brew another bowl of soup and let Su Yu drink it to see what would happen.
“Don’t make trouble.” Zhan couldn’t help but speak, saying, “Grandma, don’t add to the chaos.”
“If this really takes effect, the consequences will be severe.”
Zhan couldn’t help but advise.
He couldn’t let Su Yu drink it.
Just because he was fine this time didn’t mean he would be fine next time.
If Su Yu really forgot his past, he wouldn’t be able to find a way to restore Su Yu’s memory now.
If he had to wait ten thousand years later to restore Su Yu’s memory, what would be the meaning of that?
Compared to ten thousand years of memory, Su Yu’s mere eighteen years of memory would not cause any ripples at all.
“Alright.” The old woman heard this, also realized the problem, and quickly nodded, saying, “Minister Su, it’s a pity, Grandma can’t brew soup for you anymore.”
She sighed, a bit regretful.
She really wanted to try and see where the problem was.
No.
When she returned, she would follow this method and brew another bowl of soup to test on an Immortal.
“Cough… cough…”
At this moment, Jiang Ziya suddenly coughed lightly and slowly said, “Let’s put this matter aside for now.”
“Since Su Yu is back, let’s talk about serious business.”
“After all, everyone is quite busy, we can’t waste time here, can we?”
Everyone nodded.
Old Jiang was right.
Everyone was truly busy.
They came here today not because they wanted to, nor because they had nothing to do.
But rather, they had no choice but to come.
After Su Yu killed the Guanyin Temple Abbot, they wanted to leave.
However, Zhan spoke up.
He asked them to stay, saying there was still something to discuss.
“I almost forgot.” Zhan slapped his forehead and said, “Su Yu, sit down first, there’s something I need to tell you.”
Su Yu looked left and right.
The office wasn’t big, and there weren’t many people actually sitting.
Most people were standing.
Especially Ox-Head and Horse-Face, they stood in the corner, and from beginning to end, they didn’t say a single word.
They seemed a bit… introverted.
“I’m not sitting!”
Su Yu said, “Just say what you need to say quickly, I still have things to do after this!”
Yes.
Su Yu was very busy now.
Preparing to wreak havoc.
And return a clear sky to Great Xia.
He really had no time to waste here.
Moreover, after he was done killing, he still had to re-enter that small area and explore within it.
The enemies from the starry sky were getting closer and closer, he had to make himself stronger before that.
For Great Xia, for the common people, and also for himself!
“Alright then.”
Zhan nodded and said, “The matter is actually simple.”
“Su Yu, you killed the Guanyin Temple Abbot. Logically speaking, since you killed the person, all the spoils of war should be yours.”
“But now, I want everyone present to share your spoils of war.”
After a pause, Zhan continued, “The Guanyin Temple Abbot died, and the power within her body dissipated.”
“If everyone absorbs these powers, they can achieve… Immortal Ascension!!!”
Upon hearing this, Su Yu's eyes couldn't help but light up.
There's such a good thing?
"Then can I also achieve Immortal Ascension?"
Su Yu quickly asked.
A chance to soar to the sky!
He had to seize it!
Unexpectedly, after listening, War shook his head and said, "You can still increase some of your strength."
"However, achieving Immortal Ascension is basically impossible."
The reason these people could achieve Immortal Ascension was because they were once powerful cultivators.
Achieving Immortal Ascension was merely restoring a portion of their past Cultivation.
As for Su Yu...
How many days had he been Cultivating?
Su Yu was an ordinary person before!
To achieve Immortal Ascension, he had to Cultivate step by step.
The two were completely different.
Su Yu couldn't help but feel disappointed upon hearing this.
After killing the Guanyin Temple Abbot, others could achieve Immortal Ascension, but Minister could not?
It was a bit disheartening.
And a bit regrettable.
Actually, Su Yu also knew.
However, he held onto some hope that perhaps War would have a good solution.
But now it seemed War also had no solution.
At this moment, everyone looked at Su Yu, their expressions a bit embarrassed.
Although the Guanyin Temple Abbot was not killed by them.
They had also contributed.
Moreover, their visit to Tianhe City was partly for the people of Tianhe, and partly, in fact, for Su Yu.
However, after the Guanyin Temple Abbot's death, they didn't take any spoils of war; instead, they were ready to turn and leave.
They were Seniors; how could they snatch things from a Junior?
Even if, logically speaking, they could have taken some.
But they couldn't bring themselves to do it.
Now, hearing War proactively bring it up, they all felt a bit awkward.
Su Yu waved his hand upon hearing this and said, "Alright then!"
"I'll improve a little, and you all achieve Immortal Ascension!"
Since he couldn't achieve Immortal Ascension himself, Su Yu wasn't stingy.
What if he gave it all to them?
Let them achieve Immortal Ascension.
They seemed to be gaining an advantage, but in reality, if their strength increased, they would have to bear a heavier burden.
This was like, in a family, if the children could live a good life, it was definitely the parents bearing the burden.
On a larger scale, in a country, if ordinary people could live in peace and contentment, it was often because many people were bearing the burden.
Su Yu, on the contrary, felt that he would be more relaxed this way.
Although Su Yu also wanted to become stronger.
"Of course, everyone won't take your spoils of war for nothing."
At this point, War continued, "Everyone will give you something as compensation."
"But..."
Speaking of this, War smiled awkwardly and said, "As for the things to give you, you'll have to wait."
"We can't give them to you now."
Actually, if they really wanted to give them, they could.
But they couldn't give them now.
Because the enemies from the starry sky would soon arrive.
Today, everyone except Su Yu would achieve Immortal Ascension.
Once they achieved Immortal Ascension, it meant they were prepared to die in battle.
Immortal Ascension today!
Death in battle tomorrow!
That's why he didn't let Su Yu achieve Immortal Ascension!!!
Once one became an Immortal, they had to bear the corresponding responsibilities!
Wearing a military uniform meant defending the country.
If war truly broke out, ordinary people could run.
But soldiers could not!
The enemies from the starry sky were very, very strong.
Even War had no confidence until now.
Once the enemy arrived, if Su Yu was weak, he could choose to retreat.
But once he achieved Immortal Ascension, Su Yu would have no right to retreat, nor could he.
Unless he killed all the invading enemies, he could only die in battle... in the starry sky!
"No hurry."
Su Yu smiled and said, "You don't need to give me anything too good; just give me more treasure maps."
Su Yu smiled and asked, "Besides this, is there anything else?"
War shook his head.
There was nothing left.
As for Su Yu unearthing a corner of the Immortal Realm.
He didn't even mention it.
Although it hadn't been fully explored inside.
He knew that even if there were some opportunities, after so many years, there wouldn't be too many or too great opportunities.
After all, that corner of the world, to put it plainly, was a former mining area.
Even the Immortal Cave was for the former mine slaves.
What good things could be inside?
Of course, for Su Yu, it was still very good.
Seeing War shake his head, Su Yu nodded and said, "Alright then, if there's nothing for me, I'll be leaving!"
Su Yu smiled and walked outside.
A Night Watcher quickly said, "Minister Su, my Lü... lü xian sword..."
Su Yu instantly disappeared.
What lü xian sword?
I don't know!
Minister has never even seen it.
In the blink of an eye, Su Yu arrived at the place where the Guanyin Temple Abbot had fallen.
Su Yu looked at the Guanyin Temple Abbot.
He had to admit, this old woman was truly beautiful.
But she was also truly evil.
Always trying to kill him!
Was it necessary?
Did they have such great hatred?
Su Yu shook his head and sensed power emanating from the Guanyin Temple Abbot's body.
It was purer than the Immortal Realm Qi in that corner of the world.
If he could continuously absorb the power emanating from her body, he could definitely achieve Immortal Ascension.
But Su Yu sensed that he couldn't achieve Immortal Ascension at all.
The "Forget" Divine Script was clear proof.
It could clearly continue to improve, but it was stuck at War Venerable Ninth Order.
Perhaps something else was needed.
He would ask War later.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Su Yu frowned, "I remember I had something to ask War, why can't I remember it?"
Su Yu racked his brain.
But he couldn't recall anything.
At this moment, War arrived by Su Yu's side.
Su Yu looked at War and asked, "Minister, I remember I wanted to ask you something, but I forgot! Do you know?"
"How would I know?" War's expression didn't change, nor did he seem surprised. He shook his head and said, "Ask me when you remember! Anyway, I'm always here, and you have my phone number."
Su Yu nodded, thought for a moment, and it seemed to make sense.
"Then I'll go enhance my power first."
Su Yu stood there, absorbing the power emanating from the Guanyin Temple Abbot's body.
After only about half a minute, Su Yu had to stop.
Regrettable.
Too regrettable.
After absorbing for about half a minute, he couldn't absorb any more.
It was like he was full.
In the Inner World, the Kill divine script had risen from War Venerable Fourth Order to War Venerable Seventh Order.
In addition, the "Fo" Divine Rune had risen from War Venerable Second Order to War Venerable Fourth Order.
It had crossed two orders.
Besides that, the remaining Divine Scripts showed no movement at all.
Su Yu's brows were tightly furrowed.
The "Forget" Divine Script instantly entered War Venerable Ninth Order.
Although the Kill divine script and the "Fo" Divine Rune also improved, they were a bit too disappointing.
"What's wrong? Not satisfied?" War asked with a smile.
Su Yu nodded.
The Guanyin Temple Abbot!
The Thirteenth Realm!
The emanating power was of extremely high quality.
As a result, Minister only improved this much?
Wasn't this toying with Minister?
"Actually, if you ask me, you're already doing very well!"
War smiled and said, "If someone else came, they might not even be able to improve one order of Cultivation."
Su Yu didn't believe him.
War patted Su Yu's shoulder and said with a smile, "People, you still need to read more."
"These books are for you. Read them more when you have nothing to do."
War took out three books and handed them to Su Yu.
One was "Battle Saint Ninth Order, From Beginner to Master."
One was "War Venerable Ninth Order, From Beginner to Master."
And one was "War X Ninth Order, From Beginner to Master."
Su Yu took the three books, looked at them, and his gaze fell on "War X," asking, "Is this the name of the Seventh Realm?"
After War Venerable, it was War X?
What kind of strange name was that?
"What are you thinking?" War couldn't help but laugh, shaking his head and saying, "I haven't thought of it yet. When I think of it, I'll change it!"
"When you have time, remember to read more."
"If you had read these books earlier, you would probably be above War Venerable by now."
Su Yu rolled his eyes.
It's all your fault.
You're only giving me books now!
If you had given them to me earlier, would I be this weak now?
"Your Killing Intent is too great, too heavy. It might seem like a good thing now, but in the future, it might not be."
War continued with a smile, "Later, I'll send you a few more books."
"When you have nothing to do, read more, just consider it cultivating your character."
"Reading more books can also temper your Killing Intent."
After a pause, War continued, "Moreover, throughout history, which powerful cultivator wasn't a scholar?"
"So, you need to study even harder."
Su Yu felt inexplicably confused.
Why was War suddenly saying all this?
Why did it feel like he was making arrangements for after his death?
Su Yu shook his head, put away the three books, and turned to leave.
"Young man, so impatient."
Looking at Su Yu's receding back, War couldn't help but sigh, "You will understand what I said one day!"
"Reading is actually a form of Cultivation."
"In the past, there was a person who read a billion scrolls and entered the Forbidden realm in one morning!"
"Who read a billion scrolls and entered the Forbidden realm in one morning?" Suddenly, Jiang Ziya's figure appeared, asking softly, "Why don't I know this person?"
War turned to look at Jiang Ziya.
Why are you asking this?
When That person entered the Forbidden realm, no, when That person was still reading, you, old man, were already history, having died in battle countless years ago.
It would be strange if you knew!
"I don't know who That person is either." War shook his head.
"Then how do you know about this?" Jiang Ziya asked.
"I saw it in an ancient text."
Facing Jiang Ziya's question, War's expression remained unchanged.
"What ancient text? I want to see it too." Jiang Ziya said.
War glanced at Jiang Ziya.
He always felt that Jiang Ziya was looking for trouble.
But after thinking about it, War extended a hand.
Immediately, a thick ancient text appeared.
On the cover of the ancient text, ten large characters were written: "Read a billion scrolls, enter the Forbidden realm in one morning."
Jiang Ziya took it, looking at the cover with confusion.
Was this the title of this ancient text?
It was too strange.
At this moment, people appeared one after another beside him.
Jiang Ziya calmly put away the ancient text, planning to read it when no one was around.
"Very good, since everyone is here."
War's expression became much more solemn as he said, "That means everyone is prepared to bravely face death."
"I won't say anything more."
"Power has been continuously emanating from the Guanyin Temple Abbot's body."
"Now, everyone can absorb as much as they can."
"Recover as much Cultivation as you can."
"At that time, whether Great Xia can still exist, and whether this branch of the Human Race on Blue Star can still exist, will all depend on us!"
...
Su Yu didn't know about this scene.
Naturally, Su Yu didn't hear what War said.
At present, Su Yu appeared in the first world unearthed in Tianhe City.
Here, an ancient coffin was displayed at the entrance.
An incredibly dense aura of despair, like a tide, surged out, covering the front, turning this place into a Forbidden zone.
In this world, there were three Immortals.
But even they couldn't cross the Forbidden zone and descend upon Tianhe.
Not to mention, in the ancient coffin, a terrifying existence was buried.
"Little Su Yu, why have you come?"
A voice came from the ancient coffin.
