Apocalypse Of All Races

Chapter 14: Fourth-level of the Origin Opening Realm

Translator: Lordbluefire

After returning home.

There were a total of three drops of essence blood in the glass bottle in Su Yu’s hands.

Although to experts, drops of blood essences of Thousand Pound Realm level was a fart. But to Su Yu, this was considerable wealth. A single drop cost 50,000 coins.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he had no money, he would be reluctant to spend his merit points

There was no need for the teacher to remind him about the importance of merit points. He himself knew it. Even if one had money, they might not necessarily be able to purchase merit points. Naturally, if the price exceeded 50,000 for a single point, Su Yu could consider it. After all, it cost him 50,000 just to buy one drop of essence blood.

“Speaking of which, I’m even richer than my father. He has only saved 300,000 coins after so many years…”

Su Yu suddenly laughed. 300,000 worth of coins might not be as valuable as his 18 merit points.

However, his father had merit points, but he had spent some on his cultivation resources in the past. His father didn’t say anything about his remaining merit points, but Su Yu roughly knew where they went to. His father probably gifted them away to his comrades when he quit the army back then.

This wasn’t something Su Long did alone. Many people had done the same thing.

There were many retired veterans living in this small district. Before they left, they would give their merit points to their comrades because their comrades still had to continue fighting and would definitely need the merit points more.

Supporting and trusting each other. These were the soldiers of the human race.

If it wasn’t for the fact that recalling old soldiers had an age limit of 50 years old, most probably even more old soldiers would choose to rejoin the military this time around. However, many people were close to 50 when they retired. After they quit, they most probably had no way to join ever again.

At this moment, Su Yu no longer thought about these things, and the booklet once again appeared in his mind.

......

He quickly flipped to the page about the ironwing bird.

“Need blood essence to activate…but what should I activate? A skill or a cultivation art?”

Su Yu pondered but soon decided. Cultivation art.

Origin Gathering Art.

Eight to nine out of ten skills could instantly increase his strength, allowing him to erupt forth with might. But he had no opponents now, so it would be somewhat wasteful.

Naturally, if he had sufficient essence blood, he wouldn’t mind giving it a try. After all, he still didn’t know the effect. However, if he used the skills haphazardly, he might even kill someone he didn’t intend to.

“How many drops do I need for each attempt? I wonder if a single drop is enough?”

He mentally mused as he made the decision to activate the cultivation art!

The drop of essence blood he swallowed instantly vanished.

This time, the experience wasn’t as painful as before. It seemed to be absorbed the moment it entered his mouth.

“Bzz!”

The golden page in his mind trembled slightly. In the next instant, the page showing the activation of cultivation art changed.

Foundation Origin Art: Origin Gathering (Already activated, will last for one hour.)

“One hour?”

Su Yu cursed out loud. Right now, he felt his pores expanding and rapidly absorbing the origin qi in the surroundings. The nine apertures in his body seemed to be temporarily opened.

This was the effect of the booklet!

.

Originally, experts at the Origin Opening Realm wouldn’t be able to do this. If one didn’t open all nine apertures, they wouldn’t be able to sense the origin qi or have a way to actively absorb it.

But right now, Su Yu felt that with just a single thought, he would be able to absorb the origin qi from the surroundings.

Origin qi in Nanyuan was insufficient, but that was only the case for experts at the Ten-Thousand Stone Realm. To people like Su Yu who were in the Origin Opening Realm, the origin qi here was more than enough.

“Creak!”

This was the first time his body actively absorbed qi, and it seemed to be extremely hungry. It ignored everything else and kept absorbing origin qi for refinement purposes.

At this moment, his nine apertures glowed faintly with light as a large amount of origin qi was gathered and being used to refine his nine apertures.

Painful!

Su Yu could feel the pain. It was not so bad for his mouth and nose as he had finished refining and opening them before. However, his other apertures were still in their unopened states. At this moment, the rush of origin qi into those unopened apertures caused him to feel intense pain.

As a result, rumbling sounds echoed in his ears and tears flowed from his eyes.

The origin qi was refining his apertures and helping him to open them.

“An hour…is too long!”

Su Yu, who earlier felt that one hour was too short, instantly ‘betrayed’ himself at this moment. It was too long. If this state persisted for an hour, would he explode from being too ‘full’ of origin qi?

This was probably the first time that someone at the Origin Opening Realm was actively absorbing origin qi to cultivate.

In addition, the Origin Gathering Art was the cultivation art of the ironwing birds, so it hadn’t been modified and was actually not too suitable for humans. At this moment, Su Yu felt that there were more pores on his back being opened; even his back was frenziedly absorbing origin qi.

“Damn…is this used for refining wings?”

“Will I grow wings?”

Su Yu felt a little helpless. The ironwing bird was from the bird race, and their wings were actually powerful killing weapons. Because of that, they would naturally need to strengthen their wings. But the main point was that he wasn’t a bird.

After he activated the Origin Gathering Art, the origin qi flowed through his energy channels and meridians. Although the booklet modified it to be more suitable for the human body, it was still somewhat unsuitable for Su Yu. He felt that the amount of origin qi that his back was absorbing was way more compared to what his nine apertures were absorbing.

Rumble~!

At this moment, a loud sound rang out in Su Yu’s left ear.

Su Yu started slightly. After that, he wasn’t shocked but was glad instead. (This is…the fourth aperture is opening?)

The first three of the nine apertures were easy to open. However, the fourth and fifth apertures referred to the ears, and they were a little difficult to activate.

As for the sixth and seventh, they referred to the eyes, and they were even more troublesome to activate.

As for the final two apertures, Shenque and Baihui, the majority of humans wouldn’t be able to open them. The main reason why people failed to become cultivators was that they couldn’t open the final two apertures.

“My left ear aperture is going to be opened!”

Su Yu was wildly joyful. The rumbling sounds in his left ear were so melodious!

He had done a calculation before. If he wanted to reach the fourth level, he would at least need to spend more than half a year cultivating. But who would have thought that after activating the Origin Gathering Art and cultivating it once, he could completely open his fourth aperture?

Naturally, this had a connection to the fact that his strength was too weak.

The difficult thing about opening apertures was that cultivators at the Origin Opening Realm had no way to take the initiative to absorb origin qi. They could only passively refine their bodies. But once they turned what was passive to active, opening apertures wouldn’t be difficult for them.

Cultivators at the Origin Opening Realm wouldn’t gain greater strength. However, their constitution would be better, and their senses would be sharper. These were the benefits of the Origin Opening Realm.

Naturally, just all of these were already sufficient.

Only when one reached the eighth level and opened their shenque acupoint would they be able to cultivate some simple martial techniques to defend themselves and prepare themselves to become a genuine cultivator.
