Celestial Chasm Realm.

Su Yu was finally back. His three days of battle with Martial Emperor had further perfected his pioneered dao.

"Your Majesty!"

Everyone was relieved to see him back. They had been worried that Su Yu's fight with Martial Emperor would turn into a fight to the death. That would be troublesome. Su Yu nodded and swept his gaze over everyone. There were gains and losses from his dao pioneering. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Lanshan and Lan Tian were both heavily injured. Great Zhou King wasn't too badly injured, but he had lost much of his lifespan. But Su Yu also saw many new Daofuses among the people before him. As for those who were already Daofuses, they had grown, but not by much.

Topsoil Spirit was the one who had grown the most. He was already near the level of a tier-two Daofuse. That was a surprising speed as he had caught up to even people like September.

"Still no Venerable?"

Su Yu looked around and noted that apart from Fat Ball, none had the ability to match Venerables. Clearly, his dao pioneering had not brought these people much. After all, there were so many heavenly kings among them. Not one of them had grown to the level of a Venerable.

Su Yu was quite disappointed. He had been expecting some of them to grow into Venerables.

Wan Tiansheng said, "In truth, everyone has grown a lot. I can feel that I'm not that far from the next level. We only need some time to digest all our gains. I can feel that Great Zhou King and Cloud Fire Marquis aren't that far from a breakthrough as well. We only need some time. It can't happen instantly."

Great Zhou King chimed in, "That's true. We have gained a lot of comprehension over the past few days. We need some time to properly digest them. I believe we will enter a phase of rapid growth for a short time."

Su Yu nodded.

Not far away, Great Xia King and Great Qin King exchanged gazes. Then, Great Qin King stepped forth and said, "Your Majesty, previously, you told Old Xia and me that we can switch our dao. But..."

There was no follow-up.

Su Yu chuckled. "Are you certain about this? Are you abandoning the physical body dao? Don't be too bothered about the fact that it originated from the heavenly desolate beast. It's the same as humanity's physical body dao."

The physical body dao had a lot of potential.

The two exchanged gazes again. Great Qin King nodded, "Yes. We wish to switch to the saber and spear daos."

Su Yu said, "Sure. I can easily help with this. As for the heavenly desolate beast's dao, it is already under your control. Since you don't intend to cultivate it anymore, so be it. We can drain its power to help everyone rebuild their bodies. In any case, that has been the original purpose Culture King left it behind."

The four daos Culture King left behind were mainly meant to work together to resurrect the dead.

The inkstone dao, in particular, was in charge of replenishing life force.

Su Yu himself had plenty of alternatives so he did not need that dao for himself.

"Drain the heavenly desolate beast dao and help everyone regrow their bodies. It can also help with everyone's physical body dao cultivation. Perhaps this can help everyone grow more."

Su Yu looked at South Heavenly King and the others. "Moving forward, I'll probably be focusing on resurrecting all of you."

He had decided to ignore the outside world for now. He would first focus on strengthening his force. Perhaps the resurrection of the death spirits under him could produce a Venerable or two.

Having pioneered his own life and death daos, Su Yu could possibly start resurrecting these people.

At that, Su Yu said, "Get ready, Heavenbridge. I'm taking a trip to the eighth level."

He was going there to collect the treasures left in the ink and paper rooms. Previously, he had received the Token of Sanctification and heavenly desolate beast corpse from the pen and inkstone rooms. And the two items had proved helpful until even now. He had not used the Token of Sanctification, so he could still get a few uses out of it.

In fact, it was still one of his trump cards. He had been avoiding excessive usage as he couldn't bear to waste it on something pointless. It was useful enough that he could even kill a Master of Law with it when used well.

Prior to this, he was too weak to do anything to Masters of Laws even when they were suppressed by the token. But now, he had grown enough to threaten even Masters of Laws. How many Masters of Laws were left in the Myriad Realms?

He had to admit that the treasures left behind by Culture King were all quite useful.

Remembering that the Heavenly Hunt Index had been given to Liu Hong previously, he looked at Liu Hong and said, "You're coming with me. I'm collecting some of the treasures Culture King left behind."

These things might be obsolete to him before long. He might as well retrieve them now while they were still useful to him.

Liu Hong nodded. Even now, he still didn't feel like talking. Why was Su Yu so petty that he had remembered all those merit points from that long ago?

Heavenbridge Marquis stepped forth and asked, "Do we go now, Your Majesty?"

"Yes." Su Yu nodded. "Also, my new world can't be moved for now. It will be stuck in the chaotic space for now. In other words, the source and foundation of my dao will all remain amid chaos."

He still didn't have a way of moving his world. He could probably try moving it, but without the human lord's token and Mark of Civilization, it might end up collapsing due to the rejection from the other world.

Great Zhou King asked solemnly, "What are your plans, Your Majesty?"

Su Yu said, "Nothing much. I'll leave it there. Most people can't move it anyway. Just look at Human Emperor's dao, death spirit dao, and time dao. All of them are still there. So what? Nobody can move them around.

"I'm only saying this to let everyone know that my world is still in its early phase. It is essentially wild and undeveloped. Anyone interested can go comprehend their dao in my world and observe how a newborn dao grows strong. Maybe things have been too hectic for everyone to pay too much attention previously."

Great Zhou King argued, "The dao has always been a private matter. How can everyone be allowed to observe and study your dao as they wish?"

"That is wrong." Su Yu argued, "When comprehending the dao, one shouldn't be closed off. Mutual growth should be the goal. No matter how amazing someone is, the comprehension of one person won't be comparable to the comprehension of tens of thousands of people. I only have one requirement for anyone interested in comprehending the dao in my world. Embed some of your comprehension in that world, allowing me to further perfect my dao.

"I believe the time dao isn't so perfect in the beginning either. But as more and more people started cultivating it, it grew."

Yes. This was what Su Yu needed. Both the time dao and death spirit dao were most certainly not this powerful from the very beginning. But as more and more people cultivated them, the two daos benefited from the comprehension of all these cultivators and grew.

Everyone's hearts thumped. Were their daos taking from them while they were taking from their daos as well? Su Yu did not say more. His gaze landed on someone amid the crowd. That person was looking at Su Yu as well.

"Royal Consort Qi."

Royal Consort Qi hurriedly answered, "Your Majesty."

Su Yu smiled, "Don't be too nervous. I have a difficult request..."

Royal Consort Qi knew what Su Yu was talking about. She sighed and nodded, "I understand. If I have fake daos suited for everyone in my possession, I will hand them out to help others further grow their daos."

Real and fake daos could be used to strengthen each other.

Previously, Royal Consort Qi had left to collect her fake daos. The moment Su Yu's gaze landed on her, she knew what Su Yu wanted.

Su Yu said, "If you wish to continue cultivating the dao of petrification, I can help look for a real version of this dao. By fusing the fake and real daos, you might be able to become a Venerable. I doubt Devote King's dao is the only petrification dao available. It should be fine for you to cultivate one alongside your fake dao."

Currently, Royal Consort Qi cultivated the petrification dao, but it was a fake dao. She had reached the level of a heavenly king after many years of cultivation, but it was very hard for a fake dao to reach the level of a Venerable.

If she could cultivate a real petrification dao, she might be able to become the first Venerable under Su Yu. Fat Ball had the strength of a Venerable, but he only had the combat strength of a Venerable without the same cultivation level. Or to be precise, Fat Ball's dao comprehension had yet to reach the level of a Master of Law. That was the requirement for one to become a Venerable.

In fact, many on Su Yu's side were those whose combat strength was beyond their cultivation level. Wan Tiansheng and Lan Tian were such examples. They had both pioneered their daos. And it was hard to judge the level of a dao pioneer. Who knew how far their daos could ultimately go? They wouldn't be considered Masters of Laws before their daos reached completion.

Royal Consort Qi said, "In that case, please find me a petrification dao, Your Majesty."

She had not asked for this before. And Su Yu had not offered his help. At the time, Su Yu was too weak. There was no guarantee that she would be willing to follow him. After all, she had been thinking of leaving all along. How would Su Yu help someone thinking of leaving become a Venerable? That would be the same as creating more future trouble for himself.

Su Yu said, "Good. I'll start when I'm done with some other matters. Let's hope your fake daos are suitable for the others. That will help them grow even more."

The infusion of the fake daos would most certainly help the others grow further.

However, he didn't know the exact number of fake daos in Royal Consort Qi's possession. He was also unsure if these daos were powerful enough and if they were compatible with his people.

It would be great if they were compatible with the heavenly kings under him. Even if that wasn't enough to grow their cultivation level, just having their combat strength grow would be good enough.

Royal Consort Qi said, "I don't have too many fake daos on me. Only nine, and the strongest among them is at the level of a heavenly king."

Many pairs of eyes flickered upon hearing those words.

Heavendoom hurriedly asked, "Is that the staff dao?"

"..."

Royal Consort Qi wasn't even bothered to answer. The answer was naturally no. Heavendoom's dao was actually a rare dao. It wasn't a popular dao.

Royal Consort Qi did not keep them guessing. "It's the devour dao."

"Devour dao again?"

Heavendoom grimaced.

Good heavens!

Everyone's expressions turned odd. That would be awkward. There were quite a lot of devour dao cultivators among them.

Fat Ball, Flatbun, September, and Hou Pseudo Emperor all cultivated this dao.

That was a fake dao at the level of a heavenly king. The one to receive it would receive a major boost in cultivation and strength. But who should be the one to receive it?

However, Su Yu did not find it hard to reach a decision. He looked around and smiled. "A dao at the level of a heavenly king...let's hand it to Senior Flatbun."

Beside Soy Bun, Flatbun blinked in confusion. But she wasn't the only devour dao cultivator here.

"September has the potential to reach the level of a heavenly king himself. Hou Pseudo Emperor has just switched his dao not long ago. There is no rush. He needs to first stabilize his new cultivation. Fat Ball does not need this dao as he can comprehend and grow his own dao.

"Senior Flatbun, devour more things and reach the level of a heavenly king as soon as possible. This is the best way to ensure harmony in your household. After all, Senior Soy Bun has grown stronger. You need more strength to keep a tight leash on him."

Everyone laughed at that joke. The initially solemn atmosphere turned lighthearted. Numerous gazes landed on Soy Bun.

Meanwhile, Soy Bun was looking around in confusion.

What? What did he do?

Su Yu looked at Lan Tian and said, "Fellow Daoist Lan Tian, you should be focusing on recovery for now. Consider doing it in my newly created world. I activate the human lord's token and open the access to the dao essence of that world. You can enter to further comprehend and repair your dao."

Lan Tian nodded without saying anything.

Dao essence.

The human lord's token now resided at the source of that dao, also the source of Su Yu's myriad daos. That wasn't a place that should be opened to others easily.

Nobody complained about that. Lan Tian had risked his life several times for Su Yu. At this point, everyone knew that Lan Tian's status in their camp was different from everyone.
