Chapter 939: 939
Even putting aside her one-sided decision to announce their engagement, Su Yu wasn’t delighted by the way she talked about it at all . She sounded as though marrying Su Yu was a haphazard, random decision .

Su Yu’s face darkened . “Bing Wuxin, I think you have misunderstood . In fact, the reason I gave you those merit points was that I knew that you needed a million merit points urgently . I had no other intentions . ”
Bing Wuxin looked calm and composed . “Wasn’t that a sign of your affection towards me? I have many pursuers in the inner sanctum, and many knew that I was short of a million merit points . However, you were the only one who willingly gave up your own opportunity of entering the Glittering Jewel Wonderland to fulfill my wish . If that isn’t adoration, then what is?” she asked . She stared at Su Yu matter-of-factly, as if she knew a great deal about relationships .
Su Yu was rebutted to the point at which he became speechless . His random act of generosity had ended up giving rise to such a misunderstanding .
“Alright, that’s all then . I’m going back to training,” Bing Wuxin sounded as if she had just announced something casual and ordinary, and then stood up to leave . Before leaving, she turned to look at Gongsun Wuxie, and then at Su Yu again . She stopped . “I’ve noticed this recently . When did the two of you become so close?”
A few days ago, Gongsun Wuxie’s attitude toward Su Yu was atrocious . After their return, she had taken to wait for Su Yu all the time, and now she even vaguely appeared to be very intimate with him . Nothing obvious had happened, but based on her intuition as a woman, tBing Wuxin could see an enormous change in the way Gongsun Wuxie treated Su Yu .
Gongsun Wuxie giggled as she answered . “Brother Yuxian is going to my brother-in-law very soon . How could I not be close to him?”

Bing Wuxin furrowed her brows . It sounded reasonable, yet it didn’t seem to be the case . “I don’t care if Yuxian has confessed everything to you in the past . Wuxie, you can keep your distance from now on . He is my fiance now,” Bing Wuxin said .
Gongsun Wuxie drawled in response . “Oh!” Only then did Bing Wuxin leave .
Su Yu was speechless . Bing Wuxin had not even given him the chance to explain . This matter could not be postponed: he had to clear things up with Bing Wuxin as soon as possible . He was a man with a family . How could he become the fiance of another woman?
“Wuxie, you go back and rest too,” Su Yu said .
Gongsun Wuxie wrapped her arms around her chest, and said with a smile, “Congratulations Brother Yuxian! You’re going to get the beauty soon . Even I would fall for a woman as beautiful as Sister Wuxin . ” Annoyed, Su Yu landed a knock on her forehead, but Gongsun Wuxie ran away laughing .
This was but a small disturbance to Su Yu . He had many things to do now . With a flash of his figure, he arrived at the Depository of Buddhist Scriptures . He searched every nook and cranny while he was in there .

He came out a day later, disappointed . He had wanted to look for a book about a set of accompaniment cultivation techniques for the Underworld Pearl . At the hands of the Great Emperor of the Ghost World, the Underworld Pearl was a full set of treasures, consisting of nine pearls fused into one . Now that it was on its own, it could only perform simple functions like tossing and hurling things at Su Yu’s hands .
Due to gravity, its power was undeniably strong, but the assaulting techniques were rather tedious and repetitive . They would cause no substantial harm to an enemy . It was too bad that the cultivation techniques in the round pearls were remote, and that those suitable for the heavy nature of the Underworld Pearl were extremely rare . Luckily Su Yu was mentally prepared, so he wasn’t too disappointed . Quickly readjusting his emotional state, he went into isolation immediately .
There were two tasks to be completed throughout these three days . The first task was to thoroughly integrate the last part of those remote Mu words into his vocabulary . The second task was to consume the Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid of the fifth-grade spiritual elixir level, to enhance his soul to the Almighty level . Su Yu executed his plans without further ado . He activated the Power of Time and mastered the final Mu words under double time acceleration .
The uncommon golden words were all ancient Mu words . Despite their rarity, Su Yu recognized a large proportion of them . By referring to the scroll left behind by the Underworld devotee, it was not a big problem . A day later, Su Yu had mastered integrating the words . No Mu words would be of difficulty to him now . The challenge two days from now was no big deal .
While taking a brief respite, Su Yu retrieved a jade vessel . The vessel contained a mass of transparent spiritual liquid . It was as clear as water: only the five colored patterns were faintly visible . It was the fifth-grade Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid! It was easily distinguishable from the common third-grade Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid sold on the market . Its effects, however, were unpredictable . Could it possibly help Su Yu break through the Almighty level once and for all?
With a sense of anticipation, Su Yu opened the jade box and gulped down all of it . All of a sudden, a shocking fiery spiciness spread from the depths of his throat . The sensation felt like burning flames that were about to penetrate his throat . The unusual pain and anguish made Su Yu’s entire body tremble . It was almost like the excruciating pain which he had experienced when his Dantian was being remoulded .

The pain wasn’t alleviated as the medicinal effect deepened . Instead, it spread relentlessly to the depths of his body, until it reached his soul . The instant it came into contact with his soul, Su Yu groaned, his brows deeply furrowed . Not only did the pain show no sign of diminishing, but it also continued to increase and surge rapidly .
“Hiss…” The pain was so intense that it made Su Yu draw a sharp cold breath . However, the pain that reverberated from the depths of his soul did not dwindle the least bit but kept intensifying . Acute pain kept spreading over and over again from his soul . It was so miserable it felt as if he was being fried with oil . The pain spread to every corner of Su Yu’s heart, making his body spasm . He gritted his teeth so tightly that a clanking sound could be heard . His facial features were contorted together, indicating the misery inside him . The intense pain had far exceeded the pain he felt when his Dantian was being remoulded .
Su Yu’s vision blackened . He passed out amidst a burst of immense pain that erupted brutally . While he was unconscious, the intense pain was still present, as if it was trying to burn Su Yu’s soul into ashes . The agony was boundless and never-ending . Nonetheless, it was the scorching pain that made Su Yu’s soul undergo a gradual metamorphosis .
His soul that was once weak experienced substantial changes under the scorching pain, becoming even stronger and more forceful . Its sense of touch also became clear and concrete, just as how the original form was in contact with the outside world .
Before this, Su Yu had felt a bone-freezing coldness whenever his soul left his body, so it was unable to remain outside the body for too long . Now the situation had improved, and the freezing coldness had turned into a mild chill . It was a pity that Su Yu was in a coma and was unable to perceive the gradual changes in depth .
At some point of time, Su Yu sensed warmth in his dreams . It was gentle and firm, nourishing his soul, and rapidly mitigating the scalding pain . The comfort and ease made Su Yu feel as though he was being reborn, and the anguished look on his face was gradually relieved as he sank into deep sleep . He slept for two days and two nights .
When Su Yu opened his eyes again, the sky was full of stars and the outside world was pitch-black . “Hiss…” Su Yu touched his head subliminally . The weak piercing pain from his soul was the residue of the extreme pain . While shaking his head from side to side and recalling the events from a couple of days ago, Su Yu remembered the horror . It was the very first time he had fainted because of pain since the day he began his training . The agony he had felt during the Dantian remoulding was like a molehill compared to the agony he had just experienced .
The medicinal effect of the fifth-grade Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid was a hundred times greater than the third-grade, so the pain was no surprise .
Now that his mind was sober, Su Yu could not hold back a shudder . He felt his senses undergoing astonishing changes for the second time . The whole world felt like it was being pulled closer, and he could clearly detect the movements of every grass and tree within a hundred miles without having to search deliberately . He could hear the countless soft murmurs of the grasses and insects, and the intimate low whispers of men and women in the faction . Each and every one of them had become so clear, so lucid . Su Yu was greatly astounded by such novelty . Could I possibly have achieved a breakthrough? With a movement of his heart, Su Yu tried to liberate his soul from his body . A transparent figure floated out from Su Yu’s cranial vault .
A gust of wind blew past . Su Yu remained calm and placid . He was completely unruffled and had not felt a tinge of coldness . This, isn’t this much stronger than the soul of the early-stage Almighty’s souls? Su Yu looked at his own soul, and he was taken aback and utterly shocked . He had killed Almighty many times and had seen numerous Almighty souls, so he had mastered a certain level of accuracy in judging the strength of souls . At the moment, his soul had reached a level that was far more than merely breaking through the Almighty!
Impossible! The medicinal effect of the fifth-grade Heart Refining Mortal Dust Liquid could hardly make the soul breakthrough Almighty, which is the limit already . How did I break through two levels consecutively? Su Yu was bewildered .
He was deep in thought when a familiar, long-unheard soft laughter sounded from inside his chest . It said, “Waking up from sleep, you have already accomplished Stage Two Top Class of ‘Heaven’s Son Majestic Soul’ technique . That’s far beyond my expectations . ”
Su Yu’s body quivered, excitement roiled in his eyes . “Master, you have finally awakened!” It had been a few years, and now Yun Yazi had finally awakened from his long sleep!
