"You agree?" The Canghai Tower Master felt a sense of surrealism.
Truth be told, approaching Su Yuan had been nothing more than a shot in the dark. He had harbored absolutely no confidence in his success.
After all, this involved a divine dicine—a rare treasure capable of helping a peak Tier 9 Expert advance even further. Why would Su Yuan ever agree to his request?
Was it because of the promise he had just made?
Although no one knew Su Yuan's true background, the Heavenly Secret Pavilion speculated that his origins were far from simple. There was a high probability that he was a mber of the imperial family.
Would soone of that caliber care about his promise?
The Xien Family had only barely reached the threshold of a Star-sector Level Family. While they managed to squeeze into the top one hundred factions within the Canglan Cosmic Human Empire, they naturally fell woefully short when compared to an imperial family.
"Back in the Broken Void World, Brother He Wen provided with a great deal of assistance," Su Yuan said with a faint smile. "Furthermore, my cultivation thod is rather unique, so I have little need for divine dicines."
'So that is how it is,' the Canghai Tower Master thought, his heart stirring.
Given his status, he had indeed heard that certain imperial family mbers possessed specialized thods for opening their internal worlds. They did not solely pursue the initial size of the internal territory.
"May I ask what you need to do, Brother Wu?"
The Canghai Tower Master imdiately asked.
This was the compensation for inviting Su Yuan to act as an external asset for the Canghai Tower.
The Canghai Tower Master would do everything within his power to accomplish one task for Su Yuan.
"Once the matter is settled, deliver these rare treasures to this location."
With a re thought, Su Yuan transmitted a list of the rare treasures he required to the Canghai Tower Master.
"These..."
Scanning the nas of the rare treasures, the Canghai Tower Master breathed a sigh of relief.
While the items Su Yuan requested were highly valuable—totaling nearly a hundred billion Azure Surge Coins—they were exactly the kind of resources he could actually procure.
Two of the items were even stored within the Xien Family's treasury, rarely seen by the outside world.
"Rest assured, Brother Wu."
The Canghai Tower Master looked at Su Yuan and patted his chest. "I guarantee that everything will be done exactly as you have instructed."
"Good."
Su Yuan chuckled.
He had specifically selected these rare treasures as compensation based on the Canghai Tower Master's capabilities.
These particular items were auxiliary materials Su Yuan needed for his breakthrough to a Stellar Life Form.
While their value fell drastically short of a World Tree Seed, they still offered significant benefits. These were the external breakthrough aids suggested by his gray mirror.
Breaking through from a Starry Sky Lifeform to a Stellar Life Form posed no difficulty for Su Yuan. However, to open a truly satisfactory internal world, he needed to make ample preparations, making these auxiliary external items indispensable.
"I will head to that Suru Grotto-heaven now."
Su Yuan stood up and stated.
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Wu."
The Canghai Tower Master rejoiced internally, feeling that Su Yuan was genuinely taking this matter seriously by departing imdiately.
After personally seeing Su Yuan off, the Canghai Tower Master's expression gradually smoothed out. 'I wonder what Brother Wu's true identity is?'
Based on the current clues and information, determining Su Yuan's real background was simply impossible.
This was perfectly normal. Not every Imperial Citizen was willing to reveal their identity within the Divine Body World. So monstrous geniuses intentionally concealed their backgrounds to maximize their training and growth.
'The shipping address is the Imperial Star of the Canglan Cosmic Human Empire...'
The Canghai Tower Master glanced at the delivery destination Su Yuan had provided, yet he still could not draw any definitive conclusions.
The Imperial Star of the Canglan Cosmic Human Empire gathered countless experts from the thirty-five grand cosmic human empires, as well as outposts for various Alien Races. Su Yuan requesting the treasures be sent there revealed absolutely nothing.
He could not even confirm if Su Yuan was truly a citizen of the Canglan Cosmic Human Empire.
Over half a day later.
Su Yuan smoothly arrived near the Suru Grotto-heaven discovered by the Canghai Tower.
A Suru Grotto-heaven contained its own independent space, so its external form was never particularly large.
In other words, the outer shell of a Suru Grotto-heaven could be a leaf, a grain of sand, or even a drop of water.
And the Suru Grotto-heaven Su Yuan was currently observing took the form of a cloud.
The cloud drifted high in the sky, completely anchored in place by the experts of the Canghai Tower, who had already carved out an entrance.
'A divine dicine?'
Su Yuan quietly gazed at the high-altitude cloud. The divine dicine craved by countless Late-stage Starry Sky Lifeforms was hidden deep within this very Suru Grotto-heaven.
Of course, at this mont, only Su Yuan knew for a fact that a divine dicine rested inside. As for the Canghai Tower and the other factions? They were rely operating on speculation, lacking absolute certainty.
However, given the astronomical value of a divine dicine, even a re rumor was enough to draw nurous Tier 8 and Tier 9 Experts.
"Lord Wu."
"Lord Wu."
Su Yuan arrived at the Canghai Tower outpost. Situated a short distance from the Suru Grotto-heaven, it served as a resting area for mbers entering and exiting the spatial domain.
Inside the Suru Grotto-heaven, there were opportunities, but there were also dangers—in fact, the dangers made up the vast majority of the experience.
For instance, ever since the Canghai Tower discovered this place, they had been continuously exploring and excavating, losing quite a few family mbers in the process. Even so, they were still days away from completely charting the area.
"Continue with your duties. Do not mind ."
Su Yuan stated.
Right when Su Yuan had first departed, the Canghai Tower Master had notified all mbers at the outpost that Su Yuan was to be in absolute command.
After issuing a few more brief orders.
Su Yuan stepped outside the outpost, gazing at the floating cloud from afar as he sat down cross-legged.
'In three days, the Canghai Tower's excavation will reach the depths of the Suru Grotto-heaven, and at that mont, the divine dicine will fly out on its own,' Su Yuan thought to himself.
Through the gray mirror, Su Yuan knew every detail of this divine dicine, understanding the impending events like the back of his hand.
Divine dicines and immortal elixirs in the Divine Body World had all birthed their own consciousness, granting them the ability to soar through the skies and burrow into the earth. Immortal elixirs, in particular, could traverse space over short distances—a privilege that nearly belonged to the domain of Stellar Life Forms.
'Three days...'
Su Yuan pondered.
In truth, with his level of strength, he could drastically shorten this process. He could force the divine dicine out right this second and subdue it.
But there was no need for that.
Su Yuan needed to use the divine dicine to attract the genius Tier 8 and Tier 9 Late-stage Starry Sky Lifeforms scattered across the Eastern Desolation.
As for the divine dicine itself? It was rely bait. He didn't actually care much for it.
If he subdued the divine dicine early, those high-tier experts simply wouldn't gather here.
"Hm?"
"A peak Tier 9 Expert has already approached."
Su Yuan's mind stirred as his gaze shifted toward a distant location.
"Never mind."
Su Yuan shook his head and voluntarily released a fraction of his aura. The power of his Great Cycle of Yin-Yang and Five Elents rippled out in all directions.
The reason for doing this, naturally, was to instill caution in the early-arriving peak Tier 9 Expert so they wouldn't strike prematurely.
If Su Yuan didn't reveal his presence, that expert would directly attack, wiping out the Canghai Tower mbers to monopolize the Suru Grotto-heaven. Then, half a day later, they would force the divine dicine out and capture it.
Such an outco would completely ruin Su Yuan's plan to use the divine dicine's allure to gather a massive horde of high-tier experts and capture them all in one fell swoop.
A figure stood tall in the sky, the surrounding space faintly twisting to conceal his silhouette and aura.
Clad in a golden robe and bearing a golden horn on his head, the figure exuded an inexplicable, domineering presence. It was as if all of creation was ant to bow before him.
"This Suru Grotto-heaven is indeed extraordinary." The golden-horned figure observed for a mont and nodded to himself.
Just as he prepared to strike and seize the domain hidden within the cloud...
His expression suddenly changed. "This aura..."
The golden-horned figure's gaze grew solemn. "An endless rotation of yin and yang and the five elents? Is it that Wu?"
Across the vast Eastern Desolation, there were only so many peak Tier 9 Experts. Each of them commanded a different Great Cycle of Universal Power, making it exceptionally easy to discern their identities based on their energy signatures.
"To think the Canghai Tower actually managed to invite Wu?"
The golden-horned figure imdiately suppressed his urge to attack.
He was highly wary of this recently risen peak Tier 9 Expert.
The Heavenly Secret Pavilion evaluated Su Yuan incredibly highly, a fact the golden-horned figure was naturally well aware of.
'I should wait.'
The golden-horned figure pondered to himself.
Facing a peer at the peak Tier 9 level, his philosophy was to avoid clashing unless absolutely necessary.
The primary issue was the lack of certainty regarding the divine dicine's actual presence in this Suru Grotto-heaven. He did not want to risk fighting tooth and nail with Su Yuan, paying a disastrous price, only to end up empty-handed.
If it turned out there was no divine dicine inside, wouldn't he have fought for nothing?
Worse yet, he would have offended a peak Tier 9 Expert with an unfathomably deep background like Su Yuan.
After all, the golden-horned figure's identity in the real world was no secret. Under these circumstances, he naturally wouldn't carelessly offend soone unless pushed to the absolute brink.
As ti slowly trickled by.
More and more experts gathered in the vicinity.
"Quite a crowd has gathered."
A burly, bald man smiled as he surveyed the surroundings, his gaze pausing intently on a few specific auras belonging to peak Tier 9 Experts.
"The Canghai Tower brought Wu here?"
The bald man was rather surprised. As a peak Tier 9 Expert himself, he naturally kept a close eye on his peers.
"What a pity. Since this concerns the grand path of cultivation, I cannot yield."
The bald man sighed internally. Now that he, Wu, and several other peak Tier 9 Experts had converged here, their objective was obviously the divine dicine potentially hidden deep within the Suru Grotto-heaven.
And a divine dicine directly influenced the initial size of the internal world a peak Tier 9 Expert could open. That was a temptation the bald man simply could not refuse.
Therefore, when it ca to the divine dicine, he had to fight for it.
In the Divine Body World, divine dicines possessed irreplaceable effects for Late-stage Starry Sky Lifeforms, capable of stacking with resources from reality.
Aside from the several peak Tier 9 Experts.
A massive throng of Tier 8 and Tier 9 Experts had also rushed to the scene.
While ordinary Tier 8 and Tier 9 Experts were exceedingly fragile before peak Tier 9 Experts, who was to say they couldn't scavenge a lucky break?
This was a divine dicine!
If a Tier 9 Expert acquired it, they would very likely harness its power to step into the peak of Tier 9.
And a peak Tier 9 Expert was fundantally different from a regular Tier 9 Expert. The forr had mastered a spatial Divine Body Secret thod, allowing them to completely crush any ordinary Tier 9 opponent.
"Does this Suru Grotto-heaven actually have a divine dicine or not?"
"I have no idea, but considering how many peak Tier 9 Experts have shown up, the chances are incredibly high."
"I just ca to take a look. Whether there's a divine dicine or not doesn't matter to ."
The nurous spectating Tier 8 and Tier 9 Experts whispered among themselves.
Up until this mont, no one could confirm the dicine's existence, which was the only reason the scene remained relatively peaceful.
Until they laid eyes on the actual prize, the peak Tier 9 Experts were not going to slaughter one another.
And as long as the apex predators stayed their hands, the observing masses naturally wouldn't dare make a move either.
'So many people,'
Su Yuan thought as he sat cross-legged, equally focused on the rapidly multiplying crowd of experts.
He was particularly interested in those six peak Tier 9 Experts.
Cultivating to the peak of Tier 9 in the Divine Body World ant that the Great Cycle of Universal Power they commanded possessed imnse potential. That, in turn, ant they would be extrely helpful to Su Yuan.
As for the ordinary Tier 8 and Tier 9 Experts, they too showcased a comndable level of latent talent.
'Wait just a little longer.'
Su Yuan centered his focus, resisting the impulse to strike imdiately.
The longer he waited, the more experts he would reel in.
Ti continued to slip away.
In the blink of an eye, a day or two passed.
Right at that mont.
Buzz—
A peculiar fluctuation abruptly rippled outward from within the Suru Grotto-heaven.
Imdiately after, a waist-high sapling silently launched itself out from the cloud's exit.
The sapling's speed was terrifying, far exceeding the absolute limits of a Tier 9 Expert.
"It's the divine dicine!"
The mont the waist-high sapling appeared, the gazes of the surrounding eight peak Tier 9 Experts erupted with sheer fanaticism.
At last, they were completely certain: this cloud domain truly contained a divine dicine!
"Hahahaha!"
The golden-robed, golden-horned man took a massive stride forward. Layer upon layer of a golden domain rapidly expanded in all directions, radiating outward with him at the epicenter.
This golden realm exerted an unnatural suppressive force on space itself. Trapped beneath its oppressive coverage, the waist-high sapling's speed plumted.
"Is that Jin Xingkong's Space Domain?"
The surrounding experts instantly shuddered in fear. The Space Domain was a spatial Divine Body Secret thod, representing Jin Xingkong's absolute strongest technique.
"Freeze."
The bald man, standing a short distance away, muttered with a wide grin directed at the waist-high sapling.
In a split second, waves of invisible spatial distortions swept forth, intending to snatch the sapling away.
Slash! A razor-sharp surge of spatial power sliced through the air, instantly shredding the bald man's spatial distortions and tearing right through Jin Xingkong's golden Space Domain.
"A Void-Breaking Blade?" The bald man's expression twisted into an ugly scowl as he glared at a figure stepping out of the shadows nearby.
Without a mont of hesitation, this new figure lunged at the distant sapling, seeking to claim it for himself.
But a heartbeat later, yet another spatial distortion lashed out to interfere.
And so it went.
The eight peak Tier 9 Experts furiously traded blows, their terrifying auras violently churning the fabric of space as they desperately fought for control over the waist-high sapling.
Right as the eight powerhouses clashed ceaselessly, falling into a temporary, grueling stalemate...
Su Yuan, who had been sitting cross-legged this entire ti, finally rose slowly to his feet.
"Huu!"
Faced with the terrifying spatial distortions radiating from the chaotic brawl of eight peak Tier 9 Experts.
Su Yuan's expression did not change in the slightest. Instead, he simply took a trendously deep breath.
This breath was so unimaginably profound that everything within a radius of fifty thousand to five hundred thousand kiloters was instantly affected. Drawn by the sheer force of this singular intake of air, the overlapping layers of horrifying spatial shockwaves abruptly stagnated. Even the fleeing waist-high sapling lost all control, flying helplessly straight toward Su Yuan.
"What?!"
The eight peak Tier 9 Experts forcefully snapped their heads toward Su Yuan, their hearts trembling uncontrollably in sheer terror.
