Chapter 456 - 438: Divine Sense Heart Voice

Su Mansion, Inner Treasury.

Zhen’Er and Ai’Er placed ledgers one by one on the table, their faces bright with joy.

"Brother Su, this month’s income is over ten thousand taels of silver, a twenty percent increase from last month!" Yang Zhen handed over the verified accounts.

Su Yu took them and quickly scanned the pages.

’Two thousand taels from the Yang Family’s silk business; five thousand from the trade routes; three thousand from the Martial Arts Hall’s share; and around two thousand in gifts from various factions... The Su Mansion’s expenses were over a thousand taels, and return gifts were over a thousand...’

The accounts were clear, and everything was in perfect order.

Su Yu nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "Now that the Martial Arts Hall has become the champion, next month’s income will be even higher."

"Since we have a surplus of over ten thousand taels this month, let’s keep the gold ingots in the treasury for now. Just take the newly earned ten thousand and exchange it all for resources like ancient treasures, Treasure Medicines, and treasure fish."

Su Yu kicked the two red sandalwood chests at his feet, which were filled with gold ingots, letting out a loud CLANG.

The gleaming gold was certainly a pleasant sight, but he couldn’t be reluctant to spend it.

Su Yu summoned his panel and checked his Breakthrough Points.

[Breakthrough Points]: 1 (Progress: 80%)

By consuming all sorts of Martial Arts Resources nonstop every day, his Breakthrough Points were also accumulating by leaps and bounds.

A few days ago, he had eaten a section of a Void Spirit Bamboo Shoot. He had also picked three Nine-Turned Cyan Lotus Seeds from the Lotus Pool to make a lotus seed porridge, which caused his Breakthrough Points to soar by more than half.

The bad news, however, was that the stock of Treasure Medicine in the treasury was truly bottoming out.

With a flicker of his Divine Sense, he retrieved a few of his most prized Treasure Medicines from his Sumeru Mustard Seed.

First, a hundred-year-old Red-Scaly Ginseng. It was a fine item obtained from the Huyan Family’s treasury, a Lower Grade Xuan Treasure Medicine he was saving for his senior sister’s breakthrough to the Profound Bone Realm.

Su Yu had already eaten most of its secondary roots, so he couldn’t touch it anymore.

Next, a Wind-Thunder Vine, a peak Mortal Tier Treasure Medicine. It could not only rapidly restore Qi and Blood but also replenish the Thunder Power within Su Yu’s body.

This allowed him to use Celestial Thunder Step several more times in a critical moment, making it another one of his most valuable treasures.

Then, a crystal-clear cyan lotus seed. This one was different from the others; it was a full size larger and emanated a startling aura. Just a single whiff could eliminate all fatigue.

This was a treasure that Zhen’Er had nurtured nonstop with Wood Spirit Liquid, a core seed produced by the ancient wondrous herb in the pool, the Nine-Turned Cyan Lotus.

The effects of this lotus seed were astounding. Consuming it could eliminate fatigue and heal most injuries in a very short time.

Now, combined with Su Yu’s divine law of Flesh Healing, he estimated he could survive anything short of instant death.

’I can’t touch any of these precious items. That means I’m almost out of Treasure Medicines that can be used for training and increasing Skill Level.’

"Brother Su, the Qian Family’s fleet recently entered the depths of the Black Water River. They sent word that when the fleet returns next month, they can deliver a large batch of treasure fish," Yang Zhen said.

She knew Brother Su had a huge demand for these Treasure Medicines and treasure fish, which seemed to be related to his cultivation speed. That’s why she paid special attention to it, always trying to find ways to replenish the Su Mansion’s inventory.

Unfortunately, Brother Su consumed them far too quickly, sometimes eating several Treasure Medicines in a single day. It was almost inhuman.

Sometimes, Zhen’Er really wanted to study Brother Su and figure out how his body could be so formidable.

At this thought, her ears reddened again. She recalled Brother Su’s astounding stamina... if not for her Wood Spirit Body, she really wouldn’t have been able to handle it...

...

In the backyard, under the Iron Locust Tree.

A cool summer breeze blew past, making the wind chimes jingle.

Su Yu looked at his Breakthrough Points and Martial Arts, lost in thought.

[Breakthrough Points]: 1 (Progress: 80%)

[Martial Arts]: Vajra Fearless True Sound (Perfection)

[Martial Arts]: Bibo Fish Dragon Skill (First Layer) (Perfection)

[Martial Arts]: Lingxi Beast Taming Technique (Broken Limit: 1) (Spirit Rhinoceros Blood Contract)

[Martial Arts]: Money Tossing (Broken Limit: 1) (Trait: Spiral Armor-Breaking)

’I have two options now. The first is to wait until I have 2 Breakthrough Points and use them to Break the Limit of either the Lingxi Beast Taming Technique or Money Tossing. The second is to directly Break the Limit of the Vajra Fearless True Sound or the Bibo Fish Dragon Skill.’

Clearly, the first option wasn’t a good choice. He didn’t have many opportunities to use Money Tossing these days, and its current level was sufficient for now.

As for the Lingxi Beast Taming Technique...

Su Yu glanced at the little crocodile dragon lying by the Lotus Pool. It was sound asleep, one of its claws scratching its snowy-white belly.

’Forget it. That thing is lazier than a pig. It’s not realistic to banish it to the Black Water River and expect it to bring back anything good.’

’Then I’ll just use the 1 point to Break a Limit! I don’t need the Bibo Fish Dragon Skill at the moment, so I’ll deal with it when I do. But this Vajra Fearless True Sound is an excellent Martial Art. It’s worth Breaking its Limit!’

A flicker of anticipation flashed in Su Yu’s eyes. In his previous battles, the Vajra Fearless True Sound had produced many remarkable effects.

Suddenly unleashing the Buddhist Sound Wave Skill during a fight was something few could withstand.

However, Tiemu Chuan had previously demonstrated a way to counter this type of Cultivation Technique: by blocking one’s hearing, which could greatly reduce the Sound Wave Skill’s impact.

’I hope Breaking the Limit will enhance this Cultivation Technique’s remarkable effects!’

Without further hesitation, Su Yu focused his mind and pressed the "+" symbol next to Vajra Fearless True Sound.

[Vajra Fearless True Sound Limit Break successful. Consumed 1 Breakthrough Point.]

[Acquired one Limit Break Trait: Divine Sense Heart Sound]

In the next instant, Su Yu’s consciousness sank deep into his mind, and scenes of cultivating the Vajra Fearless True Sound emerged before him.

It was a boundless, desolate wilderness shrouded by the setting sun of dusk. All was silent. The mortal world was like a prison. Even the faintest whisper of wind was utterly dead, filling the air with a deathly stillness.

In that moment, Su Yu seemed to transform into an ancient White Ape, standing alone in the center of the barren wilderness.

Suddenly, a six-tusked white elephant, its body as massive as a mountain and its six tusks menacing, strode out from the distance. The white elephant’s four feet stomped heavily upon the earth, emitting a deep, steady, and powerful tremor of Qi and Blood.

The White Ape leaped up, landing steadily astride the back of the sacred and fierce old elephant!

The next moment, the divine ape raised its head, opened its cavernous mouth, and took the posture of a long, roaring howl!

And yet, strangely, not a single sound echoed across the land. It was as if it was roaring in silence.

But in this silent, desolate world, a sound suddenly exploded in the depths of the minds of all living beings within a thousand zhang. BOOM! It was the grand, true sound of a Buddha’s wrathful gaze and a Vajra subduing demons!

The true sound was formless, a heart sound pouring into the mind!

This formless, intangible "Divine Sense Heart Sound" directly penetrated through layers of illusion, flesh, and bone, striking wildly deep within the Mud Ball Palace.

At the same time, the six-tusked white elephant galloped forward, each step a silent tremor that shook the great earth.

The living beings in the distance, their eyes filled with terror, their souls heavily shaken, all fell into a stupor in that instant!

As the primordial scene in his mind receded like a tide, Su Yu’s Divine Sense returned to his Mud Ball Palace.

His breathing was steady, and a series of aftershocks, like the crisp ringing of metal on stone, echoed in his mind.

[Trait]: Divine Sense Heart Sound. The true sound is formless, a heart sound that floods the mind. The divine ape rides the elephant, shaking the very soul.

The Fearless True Sound has transformed into the formless, intangible "Divine Sense Heart Sound." Even if an enemy blocks their hearing, the majestic Buddhist chant will directly strike their very soul!

One sound manifests all techniques; this sound is the Divine Ape Riding the White Elephant. The Fearless Dharma Aspect will amplify its "Soul-Shaking" effect threefold!
