86: A veil obscuring the sky, a gift of opportunity.

"That may be so, but Fellow Daoist, how can you guarantee that the space nodes that appear when the Demon Race descends can be used by us?"

"And not be guarded by powerful Demons, precisely to prevent us from sneaking into the Spirit Realm?"

"After all, whether they devour a Human Race Spirit Transformation Cultivator or a Yao Race Spirit Transformation Cultivator, it's a great tonic for the Demon Race. How could they possibly sit back and watch us slip away!""

Su Yu shook his head. The Tall, Thin Man was still being too optimistic. The Demon Race was inherently sinister and cunning; what they could think of, the Demons could naturally think of as well.

"Heh heh, Fellow Daoist Su, there's something you don't know about this."

"Fellow Daoist Putuo of Great Jin possesses a Spirit Treasure called the Veiling Gauze, which has the effect of concealing one's form and shielding one's aura."

"Even a Spirit Transformation Cultivator would find it extremely difficult to detect."

"That Old Bald Monk is nearing the end of his Lifespan. Over the years, he has struggled to find a space node and could only watch helplessly as his Lifespan dwindled away."

"Therefore, when the Demon Tribulation descends, he will inevitably try to break through a space node guarded by the Demon Race."

"At that time, we can invite many fellow Spirit Transformation Cultivators and, relying on the mysteries of the Veiling Gauze, silently infiltrate the space node."

"Even if we are discovered in the end, could those Demons possibly be a match for a group of us Spirit Transformation Cultivators?""

The Tall, Thin Man spoke with absolute conviction, even mentioning a Spirit Transformation Buddha from Great Jin.

This surprised Su Yu upon hearing it.

It sounded like almost all the Spirit Transformation Cultivators in the entire Human Realm were searching for space nodes, hoping to ascend to the Spirit Realm before their Lifespans ran out.

Moreover, the descent of this Demon Tribulation happened to be a perfect Opportunity.

Yet, Su Yu couldn't help but think: if all these Spirit Transformation Cultivators left,

wouldn't the entire Human Realm fall into the hands of the Demon Race?

But if they didn't leave, they might not be able to protect the Human Realm either, and their own lives might very well be lost here.

Ultimately, it came down to insufficient strength.

If they were strong enough, what could the Demon Race do? One person alone would be enough to fight their way through.

"I see. Since Fellow Daoist and the others have such plans, just notify me when it's time to act."

Su Yu thought it over. If the situation became untenable, he too would have to go to the Spirit Realm via a space node.

He wasn't some Immortal Reincarnation; he couldn't save everyone in the world, nor did he want to become a savior.

But, within his capabilities, he would help as much as he could.

When the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up, unless the Human Race of the Spirit Realm has completely decided to abandon the Human Realm.

"Naturally, Fellow Daoist. This item is called the Ten Thousand Mile Talisman. No matter where you are in the Human Realm, this Talisman can reach you."

The Tall, Thin Man nodded. Su Yu was powerful; he would be a great asset in breaking through a space node.

So, without a second thought, he took out a golden Talisman paper and handed it to Su Yu.

Su Yu had heard of the wonders of the Ten Thousand Mile Talisman. Although its name contained 'Ten Thousand Miles,' the 'ten thousand' was a figurative number.

This item was a top-tier Talisman passed down from the Spirit Realm. There weren't many left in the Human Realm, and each use consumed one.

As long as one was within a certain range, they could contact the other party regardless of location.

It was extremely useful.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist."

"I shall take my leave now."

Su Yu nodded, cupped his hands in thanks, turned, and left.

Having obtained the information he wanted, he didn't wish to stay any longer.

So he transformed into a streak of light and flew towards a distant horizon.

After he left, the Tall, Thin Man gathered up the tea table and tea set before him.

He snapped his fingers, and the next moment, the glacier began to melt, pouring large amounts of water into the sea.

Only then did the stunningly beautiful woman dare to approach.

"Grandfather."

The stunningly beautiful woman said respectfully.

"Go investigate this person. If he hasn't concealed his appearance, we should be able to trace his Origins."

The Tall, Thin Man instructed.

This person had appeared out of nowhere and was definitely no ordinary Cultivator. He didn't know which major power's Disciple he was, to possess such terrifying methods.

Originally, he had planned to nurture his nearly atavistic-blooded great-grandson to the Shapeshifting Realm, so that devouring him could replenish part of his depleted Origin.

Unexpectedly, due to a single careless oversight on his part, the boy had sneaked out.

Even with the protection of the Mid-stage Nascent Soul Shapeshifting Great Demon, Chi Yu Fu Fen, he had the misfortune of encountering a murderous character and lost his life.

Although he couldn't use his direct Bloodline to replenish his Origin,

the fact that this Spirit Transformation Cultivator was willing to join him in breaking through a space node was an unexpected delight.

"Yes, Grandfather!"

The peerlessly beautiful woman nodded emphatically and then relayed the matter.

By the time the news came back, several months had passed.

During this time, Su Yu returned to the Immortal Cave he had opened on the back of the Vast Sea Turtle.

He used all the Top-Grade Spirit Stones he had obtained to recharge and buy immortal purchase coins, directly purchasing his cultivation to Mid-Stage Deity Transformation.

However, this purchase of cultivation nearly caused the spiritual power within Su Yu to run wild.

The Spiritual Qi concentration in the Human Realm was insufficient, making him feel a lack and stagnation of Heaven and Earth Origin Qi during his Breakthrough.

Precisely because of this, a strange force disturbed his spiritual power, almost causing his Breakthrough to fail.

Even with the System it was so difficult; no wonder there were hardly any Mid-Stage Deity Transformation Cultivators in the entire Human Realm.

Even that Suanni Clan Spirit Transformation old demon, who had lived over ten thousand years, was only at the Early Stage of Deity Transformation.

But, at least he had succeeded in breaking through.

And to sort out the wild spiritual power within his body,

he went into seclusion for three years.

Although he had sorted out his internal spiritual power, a sense of urgency constantly welled up in his heart.

After reaching Mid-Stage Deity Transformation, he faintly felt that his Realm could slip away at any moment.

Moreover, compared to when he was at the Early Stage of Deity Transformation, it seemed he couldn't use his full strength now.

If he forced it, his vital essence would greatly decline.

At that point, not only would his Origin be depleted, but his Lifespan would also decrease.

With such drawbacks, Su Yu felt that breaking through to Mid-Stage Deity Transformation wasn't necessarily a good thing.

"The Human Realm today is indeed unsuitable for Spirit Transformation Cultivators to stay in for long."

"Those old monsters who have accumulated over the years, staying in such an environment and not going mad, truly have immense willpower!""

Su Yu sighed inwardly.

He feared that after this Demon Tribulation ended, the Human Realm would become even less suitable for Cultivation.

By then, it was unknown whether Spirit Transformation Cultivators could even be born anymore, and the number of Nascent Soul Cultivators would sharply decline.

But this had nothing to do with him. Once he went to the Spirit Realm, everything would be irrelevant; he couldn't concern himself with so much.

Su Yu ended his seclusion and then flew towards the direction of the Xuanxiao Sect.

However, before leaving, he looked at the giant Vast Sea Turtle beneath his feet and pointed a finger towards its massive head.

A spiritual light of an Enlightenment Art shot into its Sea of Consciousness, helping this Savage Strange Species to awaken its intelligence ahead of time.

This way, it wouldn't have to wait tens of thousands of years to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Furthermore, Su Yu also left a teleportation Formation here.

If the situation became untenable, he could have his Disciples come here to hide.

With this turtle's colossal size, ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators would find it difficult to handle.

Even Spirit Transformation Cultivators wouldn't find it easy to kill.

"Old turtle, old turtle, you must grasp this Opportunity."

After doing all this, Su Yu had already left the turtle's back and was on his way back to the Xuanxiao Sect.
