Apocalypse Of All Races

Chapter 4: Methods To Speed Up Origin Opening

Translator: Lordbluefire 

Su Yu quickly flipped the [Methods to speed up the Origin Opening Realm] open. In the end, the title page immediately caused him to be speechless. A row of large words written in red could be seen there. “The methods of speeding up cultivation do indeed work but don’t take into account life and death. The vast majority of those who tried it died!”

Su Yu bitterly smiled. He found it unreliable the moment he looked at it. No wonder, the teachers would all urge them not to be hasty during the Origin Opening Realm and walk on the wrong road.

“Method one: Bathe in the blood of powerful gods or devils. Gods and devils will innately have nine apertures open since their birth, and their bodies are filled in abundance in origin qi. Their blood contains large amounts of origin energy…”

“Consequences: Body explosion!”

“Case study: During the ninth year of Anping, the son of Great Ming Prefecture Lord bathed in the blood of gods and devils, wanting to rapidly open his nine apertures. During that day, he succeeded in opening nine apertures instantly, but on the same day, he died from a body explosion. He was only nine years old when he died, but he had successfully entered the Thousand Pound Realm!”

Su Yu gritted his teeth. There were even case studies. It seemed that this book was not talking nonsense.

The son of a prefecture lord during the ninth year of Anping Dynasty. This meant that this was the direct son of the Great Ming King, who had founded the Great Ming Prefecture. If even someone like him died, this was simply too dangerous!

Moreover, how could it be so easy to obtain the blood of gods and devils?

In the Allskies Battlefield, gods and devils were two of the strongest major races. It was said that the weakest among them at the Allskies Battlefield was at the Ten-Thousand Stone Realm.

It was almost definite that the Great Ming King’s son could only obtain this blood due to his father killing some gods and devils.

Let alone the fact that this idea was not feasible, even if it was, it had nothing to do with Su Yu.

“My father is not the Great Ming King…”

Su Yu murmured. (If my father is the Great Ming King, do I still need to cultivate?) Who was the Great Ming King? He was an invincible expert that founded the Great Ming Prefecture and was one of the pillars of humanity. As for how powerful he was, Su Yu couldn’t tell. In any case, he was so strong to the extent that Su Yu didn’t need to think about it.

He discarded the first method and continued reading. However, his frown deepened as he read.

“Method two: Devour the demon race’s flesh. A portion of the demon race’s flesh and blood can aid one in opening apertures.”

“Consequences: Body explosion!”

“Case study: In the initial years of Anping Dynasty, the human race established their dominance, and their experts hunted the demons, returning with the demon corpses. A great number of humans then feasted on their flesh and blood. Some of them exploded, but a minor portion of humans managed to rapidly open their nine apertures.”

“Note: These people are extremely few in number and according to the statistics, the flesh and blood of the demons that aid in aperture opening consist of: the golden roc race, barbaric ox race, sky tiger race…”

Discarded!

Su Yu rapidly gave this idea up. Stop joking, the listed demon races were all incomparably powerful ones among the myriad races. Although they weren’t as powerful as the god race and devil race, they weren’t races he could come in contact with.

“Method three: Skyorigin Fruit, a heavenly ingredient.”

“The Skyorigin Fruit accumulates sky origin qi, qi from the beginning of the myriad worlds. It’s hugely beneficial to open the nine apertures.”

“Location: Divine Realm, Devil Realm, Demon Realm. These powerful worlds can produce them, but they are very limited in number.”

“Case study: During the twenty-fifth year of Anping, the son of the Great Zhou King consumed a Skyorigin Fruit and opened nine apertures three days later. There are temporarily no side effects.”

Su Yu gritted his teeth. “The son of the Great Zhou King…It seems that the Great Zhou King only has a single son. Could he be Zhou Potian, the current Great Zhou Prefecture Lord?”

(I can only give up.)

He had never heard of this treasure before, clearly, it was a heavenly ingredient of the highest order. Zhou Potian was still alive now and had also become the Great Zhou Prefecture Lord. Evidently, he was incomparably mighty.

Even if the human race had Skyorigin Fruits in their possession, it would never be Su Yu’s turn to consume one. This was one of the top-grade strategic resources.

“Method four…”

Su Yu continued reading, but the more he read, the more alarmed he felt.

As expected, cultivation at the Origin Opening Realm didn’t have many external methods that could aid it. No wonder the teachers had never mentioned methods of speeding up cultivation at all.

These methods either required one to use the powerful gods and devils’ blood or consume heavenly ingredients. In addition, most of them had side effects.

“Method nine: Find a place where origin qi is in abundance. The distribution of origin qi in the myriad realms is uneven. There are places with sparse origin qi and places with an abundance of origin qi. In the Origin Opening Realm, one will passively refine the nine apertures, and the speed of passive refinement depends on the density of origin qi…”

“Note: holy land with abundant origin qi includes the Allskies Battlefield, secret realms in academies, holy lands in the human realm…”

After seeing this method, Su Yu snapped back to full attention.

Land with an abundance of origin qi!

Actually, those in the Origin Opening Realm couldn’t sense the existence of origin qi, but he also knew that Nanyuan City wasn’t a place with an abundance of origin qi.

“I heard of this method before. The more major a city is, the more holy it is. One’s cultivation speed would become quicker there. This should have something to do with the abundance and sparseness of origin qi.”

The teachers in Nanyuan wouldn’t mention this because it would be meaningless even if they told the students about this method.

It wasn’t so easy to relocate oneself in this era.

“In that case, if I could go to a major city or some holy lands in secret realms, I would be able to safely increase my cultivation speed? However, the increase wouldn’t be too much. It wouldn’t reach the efficiency of the few methods above.”

An abundance of origin qi would only increase one’s cultivation speed slightly. It was different from those few methods listed above that could allow one to succeed in a single leap.

But even so, Su Yu still felt some yearning.

Sadly, for the holy lands listed in this book, he couldn’t even go to a single one.

There was no need to talk about the Allskies Battlefield, as for the secret realms in academies, he heard that high-grade schools did possess them. But he didn’t know the specifics. As for holy lands in the Human Realm, there was no need to mention them.

“Method ten: Origin qi liquid.”

“Origin qi liquid can be classified as something that appears naturally or is artificially created by humans. In the lands with an abundance of origin qi in the All Skies Myriad Realms, they can produce some origin qi liquid. When the density of origin qi becomes thicker, origin qi liquid will form. However, it is extremely rare.”

“The artificially produced one is something formed by experts at the Soaring Realm after they condensed their origin qi.”

“The effect of the artificial liquid is similar to the liquid produced in the lands that have an abundance of origin qi.”

“…”

There was no need to think about natural-formed ones, but for the artificial ones…the prerequisite was…the Soaring Realm!

Su Yu bitterly smiled again. What was the Soaring Realm?

The Thousand Pound and Ten-Thousand Stone Realm was still a realm where one strengthened their body. Su Yu didn’t have much understanding of the Soaring Realm, but he knew that it was a cultivation realm above the Ten-Thousand Stone Realm. In that realm, humans would be capable of flight and could conquer the air.

The Soaring Realm was a huge transformation. In this vast Nanyuan City, was there anyone in the Soaring Realm?

Maybe some, for example, the Nanyuan City Lord.

But were these people at a level that Su Yu could interact with?

In Nanyuan Mid-grade Academy, the strongest person was the academy head who had just entered the Ten-Thousand Stone Realm.

If experts at the Ten-Thousand Stone Realm could condense this liquid, given the personality of the academy head, Su Yu might still be able to get one or two drops if he went to beg. But the crucial point was that the academy head couldn’t condense it.

“There’s not a single reliable method!”

Su Yu mocked. No wonder this book was tossed to a corner.

To people like Su Yu, the methods listed within were impossible to achieve.

The simplest method might be for him to go to a land with an abundance of origin qi or acquire origin qi liquid. However, even the lowest-grade of origin qi liquid could only be produced by experts at the Soaring Realm. The distance of that realm to the current Su Yu was incomparably far.

18 years ago, his father was already at the seventh level of the Thousand Pound Realm. During these years, because the origin qi in Nanyuan wasn’t abundant, in addition to the fact that his father no longer had access to military resources, his father was only at the ninth level of the Thousand Pound Realm now.

Even so, his father could be considered a strong character in Nanyuan City. Naturally, his father didn’t have such thoughts. Before he returned to the army, he was a supervisor in the traffic supervision headquarters and lived a relaxed life.

If it wasn’t to take care of Su Yu, given Su Long’s cultivation base that was at the ninth level of the Thousand Pound Realm, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to occupy an important position in Nanyuan City.

“These are all useless!”

Su Yu flipped through the books again and swiftly returned several of them back to their original locations.

He contemplated and walked toward Liu Yue. He then revealed an apologetic expression. “Liu Yue, can I bother you for a little while?”

Hearing this, Liu Yue placed the book in her hands down and looked at Su Yu. She laughed softly. “Speak.”

“During these few years, I didn’t pay too much attention to cultivation. Do you know of the origin qi liquid?”

“You want to purchase origin qi liquid?”

Liu Yue was immediately enlightened. The books Su Yu read were introduced by her, so she naturally had read them before as well.

“Origin qi liquid…one of the strategic resources. There are no channels in Nanyuan City that allow you to purchase them.

“However, there are some channels in the Great Xia Prefecture. You have to register with your real name if you want to purchase it.”

“There are many types of origin qi liquid. Experts of different cultivation realms produce different origin qi liquids. Naturally, to people in the Origin Opening Realm, the liquid produced by those in the Soaring Roam is the most suitable. This is because such origin qi liquid is the cheapest among the different types of origin qi liquids. The origin qi isn’t condensed enough, and this is actually beneficial to opening apertures. If the origin qi liquid is too saturated, it will actually be easier to injure oneself upon consumption.

“But…the price isn’t low!

“Even experts of the Soaring Realm require three days to condense a single drop. In addition, they have to cultivate as well and need origin qi. Unless they truly lack money, very few of them will be willing to spend the time to condense origin qi liquid…”

Liu Yue looked at Su Yu. “Su Yu, you really shouldn’t purchase it. It’s too wasteful! In addition, origin qi liquid can only increase the density of origin qi and won’t allow you to succeed in opening apertures with a 100% success rate.”

“I understand, thanks. How much does a drop of origin qi liquid produced by Soaring Realm experts cost?”

Su Yu naturally knew it wouldn’t be cheap, but he still wanted to ask. After all, when his father departed, he did leave a sum of money for Su Yu.

More accurately, all the savings of his family was currently in Su Yu’s hands. Because going to the Allskies Battlefield was too dangerous, Su Long was worried he might not be able to return.

“100.000 Anping Coins!”

“…”

Su Yu’s heart was clenching. 100,000 coins for a single drop!

His father was at the ninth level of the Thousand Pound Realm and his monthly salary was merely 5,000 Anping coins. Moreover, it already wasn’t considered too low.

Other than their family expenses and some cultivation resources his father needed, it was already not bad for them to have 2,000 to 3,000 coins remaining every month.

During these years, Su Long had saved plenty of money for his son to get married. There was roughly 300,000 in his savings.

But…all his networth was only enough to purchase three drops of origin qi liquid?

No wonder Liu Yue would say it was too expensive!

This wasn’t wasting money, it was burning money!

Staring at Su Yu’s expression, Liu Yue involuntarily laughed. “I told you it would be expensive and it’s truly too much of a waste! Actually…I used a drop before and it could roughly sustain three days’ worth of dense origin qi. The effect was pretty ordinary.

“I stopped using after that one drop. It’s too extravagant.

“If the effect is really very strong, there shouldn’t be a problem for the school to take out money to purchase it for usage. But how many people have you seen using it before?

“Three days isn’t enough time for you to open an aperture. Since that’s the case, you will have to continue buying and you will spend 200,000 in six days, 300,000 in nine days…Who can withstand such expenditure?”

Su Yu bitterly smiled. “I understand, it’s really too expensive! If I can definitely open an aperture by using it, that will still be alright. But if I fail to open an aperture, it will truly be wasting money. No wonder all the teachers said that there’s no external aid that can help one to improve cultivation speed in the Origin Opening Realm.”

“Yup.” Liu Yue smiled. “Anyway, you don’t need this for the examination. Why do you want to buy origin qi liquid?”

“I wish to register for the war academies so I can have a backup plan.”

Su Yu explained simply. After that, he smiled and bade her farewell, no longer continuing to chat.

This place was the library and not a place for chatting.

At this moment, Liu Yue furrowed her brows as she watched Su Yu departing. She felt a little curious. He wanted to register for war academies?

Why would Su Yu want to join a war academy out of the blue?

She shook her head lightly and no longer thought about it. It was useless even if he went to register. In the future, all of them should be students of the Great Xia Civilization Academy. She could only hope that this fellow wouldn’t mess around.
