388: Land of No Reincarnation
After Su Yu killed the Five Venerables of Night Nether and the others, he took all of their treasures into his hands.
At this moment, he was humming a little tune as he smugly inventoried the five's grotto-heaven immortal artifacts; his mood couldn't be more pleasant.
"Nearly two hundred million immortal jade! And treasures worth another one hundred and fifty million!"
Su Yu was overjoyed. Adding the grotto-heaven immortal artifacts he had snatched from the other fifteen Golden Immortals, he now had a total of three hundred million immortal jade!
Combined with the other treasures, if he could sell them all, they would fetch roughly another three hundred million or so immortal jade.
This way, Su Yu only needed about three to four hundred million more immortal jade to gather enough immortal spirit points to purchase the Dao Lord Realm.
As long as he set up a few more traps, he wouldn't have to worry about people not rushing to deliver wealth to him!
When that time came, the only thing left would be to comprehend the Taiyi Dao Intent!
Unfortunately, most of these people's treasures were kept in their home bases, even for the Five Venerables of Night Nether and their lot; otherwise, he could have earned even more.
If not for the extreme difficulty of capturing a Golden Immortal alive—where even a single breath's respite might allow a Peak Golden Immortal to find a chance to escape—
—Su Yu wouldn't have been so decisive in dealing the killing blow!
However, at that moment, Dao Lord Mingsui's playful voice echoed in Su Yu's mind.
Upon hearing it, the previously triumphant Su Yu instantly looked like a wilted cucumber, his face collapsing in an instant.
Before he could even explain himself to Dao Lord Mingsui, a ripple of the Great Dao of Time manifested upon his body.
In the next instant, Su Yu fell into a world-spinning dizziness... "Where did this old man exile me to? Is this still the Lesser Primordial Era?"
Su Yu had just regained consciousness and found himself standing upon a barren star.
Looking at the surrounding sea of stars, which was devoid of even a trace of Immortal Qi, Su Yu couldn't help but complain.
However, through the somewhat chaotic Power of the Great Dao nearby, Su Yu could still be certain that he was still within the Lesser Primordial Era.
It was just that this place was so unfamiliar that it wasn't even recorded on the maps.
It was likely a place where no one had ever set foot, discovered by that old man.
But why did he throw him here?
"Forget it, I might as well make the best of it. That old man shouldn't be trying to harm me.
Sending me here must have a purpose!"
Su Yu's thoughts churned.
If he hadn't mentioned Dao Lord Mingsui's honorable name at the start, perhaps he wouldn't have been tossed here by the old man.
But since the old man had thrown him here, it meant there was a great Opportunity for him in this place.
But what kind of Opportunity could be valued by a Peak Dao Lord who cultivated the Great Dao of Time?
Su Yu couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it and released his Immortal Sense to scan his surroundings.
If it were just a matter of range, Su Yu's current Immortal Sense was enough to probe everything within a radius of one hundred quadrillion li.
However, once the Immortal Sense exceeded ten trillion li, it could no longer detect beings at the Golden Immortal level.
At one hundred trillion li, it couldn't detect True Immortals, and by one hundred quadrillion li, even Integration Stage Cultivators might not be detectable.
Nevertheless, within the range of his Immortal Sense, Su Yu still noticed something amiss.
"Earth?!"
Under the shroud of his Immortal Sense, he saw a blue star ten trillion li away, and for a moment, Su Yu's heart jolted.
"No, it's not Earth. It's just a similar life-bearing star."
Su Yu's Immortal Sense swept over the blue star and discovered significant differences.
This star only looked similar; it wasn't the real Earth. Neither the mountains nor the rivers were the same.
Of course, the outward appearance was extremely similar. If it weren't for that, Su Yu wouldn't have been shocked in the least.
After all, in the Spirit Realm, there were many life-bearing stars, but they were all enormous, with the smallest being a million li in size.
This star was only about fifty thousand li, similar in area to Earth but slightly smaller, which was why Su Yu's heart had been jolted.
Furthermore, the civilization on this star was an ancient one, but after many years of Legacy, it had developed its own cultivation system.
It was called Martial Dao.
"Interesting!"
A sharp light flashed in Su Yu's eyes, and in the next instant, he flew toward the blue star.
During Su Yu's investigation, he found that there was actually no Reincarnation on this star!
Not only that, but within the hundred quadrillion li covered by Su Yu's Immortal Sense, there were many such stars.
And just like this blue star, none of them had Reincarnation!
All who died either became wandering souls walking in the night or turned into ghosts that devoured all things.
Now, Su Yu understood why Dao Lord Mingsui had thrown him here!
"I wonder if my Senior Brother and sister have been as lucky as I am. But that old man has countless treasures; perhaps he has many such precious lands hidden away!"
Su Yu suddenly thought of his Senior Brother, whom he had never met, and his Second Senior Sister, Qin Xuanji.
Given his Revered Master's protective nature, he naturally wouldn't leave the two of them out.
It was just that his Eldest Senior Brother had failed his promotion to Dao Lord and was reduced to a Half-step Dao Lord, his future prospects severed.
To go any further, he could only reincarnate and Cultivate again.
As for his Second Senior Sister, her talent was exceptional; she had cultivated to the Golden Immortal stage in just tens of thousands of years, making her even more terrifying than Murong Weiwei.
She must have had her own opportunities when she previously went to the Lesser Primordial Era for experience with the Dao Lord Great Powers of the Immortal Academy.
Ten trillion li was not too far for the current Su Yu.
In his Heavenly Phoenix Incarnation, it took him only an hour to arrive.
"It's too similar... I'll call you Martial Star."
Looking at the familiar yet strange star before him, Su Yu felt a wave of emotions.
Then, he took a step forward and appeared upon the land of this star.
"Forget it, I'll deal with the Reincarnation issue first."
Su Yu shook his head, tossing aside the nostalgic emotions for his homeland.
He then channeled a bit of the power of the Heavenly Sage Delusion-Breaking Immortal Eye to examine the anomalies of this place.
In his eyes, this star suffered from a lack of Reincarnation, with wandering souls everywhere.
The living fought with the dead, and those killed by the dead then fought with the living.
It was a cycle without beginning or end, continuing until the Human Race exterminated the ghosts or the ghosts devoured the Human Race entirely.
To end this chaos, Reincarnation had to be established.
After all, even if a woman became pregnant, she could give birth to a normal infant without the need for a ghost to be reborn.
But without Reincarnation, the dead would continue to accumulate, leading to major problems.
Su Yu estimated that in at most one or two thousand years, the sheer number of ghosts would lead to the birth of a Ghost King comparable to the Nascent Soul Stage, completely wiping out the Human Race on Martial Star.
Yet the strongest Martial Gods on Martial Star were only at the Early Stage of Core Formation, making them no match for a Nascent Soul Ghost King.
"Heaven has the virtue of loving life; let this seat play the good guy for once!"
Su Yu thought for a moment and decided to solve the Reincarnation issue for them.
However, establishing Reincarnation was no easy feat; he would have to comprehend the Great Dao of Reincarnation and refine an Immortal Artifact containing the Power of the Great Dao of Reincarnation to guard the Reincarnation here.
Only then could the matter be resolved.
And so, Su Yu stayed in this place for a time.
