The mastermind behind the scenes starting with the calamity of all races

Su Yu could sense that the Necromancer Lord behind him was getting closer and closer.

All right!

360 stars lit up.

At that moment, Zuohe Hou had just rushed into the black hole.

Su Yu turned around and glanced at him, waving as if to say goodbye.

Immediately afterwards, he stepped into one of the stars, and white light quickly enveloped him. The teleportation was about to begin, and Su Yu revealed a victorious smile.

Suddenly, the entire teleportation array seemed to pause for a moment, very subtly, and neither Su Yu nor Zuo Hehou noticed it.

It's not their fault, really. The flow of time around Su Yu had slowed down, but in Su Yu and Zuo Hehou's eyes, time was normal, which is why they didn't notice it.

Even so, the Marquis of Zuohe caught up!

Without a second thought, he entered one of the stars.

At this moment, in Su Yu's eyes, Zuo Hehou suddenly burst out and rushed into the teleportation array, which was simply outrageous!

A white light flashed, and then the two disappeared.

At this moment.

Daxuan Palace.

Yun Jie chuckled, revealing a sly expression. "Ayu, from now on you can play with Zuohehou. Grandpa promises no one will bother you."

Yun Jie withdrew his gaze. There was no need to worry about Su Yu for the time being. A heavily injured and still recovering Necromancer Marquis couldn't kill him, but he would make him very uncomfortable. However, this was fine. Yun Jie didn't intend to kill Su Yu. This was good enough.

Yun Jie suddenly stood up, smiled, and left to discuss the art of the sword with Old Xia.

It is said that the Yun family's sword and the Xia family's saber have never been sparred. So, this is a good opportunity to give Xia Wushen some pointers and help him achieve Dao as soon as possible.

As for the future "Inkstone Path," which is the physical path of the Desolate Sky Beast, Yun Jie does not intend to, or does not recommend, that Su Yu allow the human race to use it themselves.

Having mixed blood is never a good thing, no matter how you look at it. It's one thing if it's passive, like how most humans today don't have pure human blood; their blood contains more or less blood from another race. But that's something they can choose; it's determined at birth, and this bit of mixed blood doesn't affect anything.

However, it's best to avoid doing it voluntarily. For example, actively fusing with the physical body of a Desolate Beast is equivalent to abandoning one's own bloodline and flesh, becoming a different kind of Desolate Beast, which is very bad.

If not forced to, who would willingly abandon their own bloodline?

However, Yun Jie thought that this road could be given to the Iron-Eating Clan or the Ancient Hou Clan, and they would probably be happy to accept it.

Of course, the Iron Eaters would have priority; if they didn't want it, then it would be given to the Ancient Hou.

To be honest, Yun Jie felt that the Ancient Hou clan was more suited to this path, as the Desolate Sky Beast and the Ancient Hou had many similarities.

However, there was nothing they could do. The Iron-Eating Clan and the Human Clan had a better relationship, and Yun Jie preferred the Iron-Eating Clan. So they could only wait for the Iron-Eating Clan to make their choice before it was the Ancient Hou Clan's turn.

In this way, Yun Jie made arrangements for "Yan Dao". Although Su Yu had not yet obtained it, it didn't matter, it was only a matter of time.

Oh, wait a minute, Yun Jie suddenly remembered that the "Inkstone Path" was what Su Yu obtained after entering the Starry Sky Mansion this time.

However... I seem to have overlooked something.

Just then, they arrived at the Great Xia Royal Palace.

Inside the Great Xia Royal Palace.

Xia Wushen's eyes flickered. Why is Lao Yun here?

Just then, the space in front of him rippled slightly, and Yun Jie appeared in front of him in an instant.

Yun Jie made no attempt to conceal his whereabouts. As soon as he entered the Prince's mansion, Xia Wudi sensed him and, with some doubt, headed towards Xia Wushen's room.

At this time, only Xia Wushen and Xia Wudi, two invincible beings, remained in the Great Xia Prefecture. Xia Longwu was still in the Battlefield of the Heavens and had not yet returned.

As for Xia Xiaoer, he went to Nanyuan.

It is worth mentioning that Nanyuan is now also known as Yuhuangfu, which encompasses hundreds of miles of area including Nanyuan City. The entire Xingluo Mountain was also assigned to Yuhuangfu, and neither the Ming Dynasty nor the Xuan Dynasty had any objections.

In other words, at this time, the Yuhuang Mansion was located at the junction of the three mansions of Daxuan, Daxia, and Daming, with Nanyuan City as its center, and the entire area resembled a triangle.

Xia Xiaoer was helping Su Yu with some affairs at the Yu Huang Mansion, along with Zhu Tiandao. With these two together, the Yu Huang Mansion was bound to be a difficult place to deal with.

The Great Xuan Palace did not intend to send anyone. Now that many people know about the relationship between Su Yu and Yun Jie, if the Great Xuan Palace were to send someone over, it would make it seem like the Great Xuan Palace is the actual ruler of the human race. In order to avoid gossip, they simply decided not to send anyone.

Of course, another small part of the reason is that no one in the Great Xuan Mansion wanted to work with Xia Xiaoer and Zhu Tiandao, nor did they want to follow the capricious and somewhat neurotic Su Yu. They all felt that it was better to stay in the Great Xuan Mansion.

In short, for various reasons, the Great Xuan Prefecture has no intention of sending anyone to the Yu Huang Prefecture. They don't now, but they might in the future, because there are still some young people in the Great Xuan Prefecture who admire Su Yu.

After all, given Su Yu's performance since his debut, he truly deserves to be called the number one prodigy of the human race. With such talent and strength, it's normal for people to admire him.

Moreover, this phenomenon of worship has been rapidly increasing since Su Yu was deified.

Now, back to the present.

Xia Wushen asked Yun Jie why he had come.

"Discussing the Way."

Yun Jie softly uttered two words.

After saying that, he glanced at Xia Wudi and said, "Since Wudi is here too, let him listen in."

The entire Xia family has learned the sword. It's alright now, but what if they all try to seize a path when they reach the Dao?

The Dao of the Sword, as one of the most common Daos, is considered a relatively robust one within the human race. However, the human king who wields it is no weakling, and most importantly, he is still alive. At this moment, he is following the Human Emperor in battle against the emperors of all races upstream, including Xia Wushen and the others...

Okay, Xia Wushen's family doesn't need to worry about this for now.

Yun Jie realized he was thinking a bit too far ahead. Xia Wushen and his family hadn't even broken through to the Dao Integration stage yet, so considering the matter of becoming the Lord of Rules was too far in the future. Perhaps in the near future, they would merge into Su Yu's world, and then there wouldn't be any more melodramatic plots of competing with the Blade King for the Great Dao.

"Uncle Yun".

Xia Wudi greeted him respectfully.

Xia Wushen glanced at him, feeling a little jealous. He felt that Xia Wudi respected Yun Jie more than he, as his father, and Xia Wudi was not so respectful when facing him.

However... well, after all, Yun Jie saved the person, so it's only right that Xia Wudi treats Yun Jie this way.

Xia Wushen quickly adjusted his mindset.

Ignoring Xia Wushen's inner thoughts, Yun Jie said directly, "Old Xia, although I don't understand the way of the sword, I can tell you about my understanding of the way of the sword. The difference between the sword and the saber isn't that big. I hope it will be helpful to you."

Yun Jie didn't mention that Zhu Dizhu was about to achieve Dao, which would put some psychological pressure on Xia Wushen and would be detrimental to his enlightenment.

Xia Wushen's heart skipped a beat. He knew that Yun Jie was just using the pretext of discussing the Dao to help him. He looked at Yun Jie and nodded seriously.

Beside him, Xia Wudi also showed an expression of "I'm really looking forward to it".

Next, Yun Jie didn't hold back and shared some of his insights on swordsmanship.

During Yun Jie's sermon, a faint, very weak power of rules permeated the entire room.

Xia Wushen and his son were completely unaware of what was happening, but Xia Wushen could clearly feel that as Yun Jie explained, his understanding of the Dao of the Sword was becoming clearer and clearer.

As time went by, Xia Wushen's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and a faint sword intent emanated from his body. He was about to break through the barrier between his understanding of the Dao of the Sword.

Seeing this, Yun Jie's lips curled up slightly. "Old Zhu, Old Zhu, maybe Old Xia broke through to the Dao Integration stage even faster than you. Who told you to grab the array plate and run away without waiting for me to finish speaking? You missed an opportunity. It's really a matter of timing and fate."

Xia Wudi, who was standing to the side, also noticed Xia Wushen's unusual behavior immediately. The sword intent on his body seemed to resonate with Xia Wushen's. He was a little surprised, looked at Yun Jie, and instantly understood what was going on. At the same time, his respect for Yun Jie increased even more.

I don't know how much time passed.

Yun Jie stopped preaching, but Xia Wushen was still immersed in his enlightenment, the light in his eyes flickering, and a great path appeared and disappeared.

After glancing at him, Yun Jie's voice rang in Xia Wudi's ear: "I have something to do, I'll be leaving now."

After saying that, Yun Jie vanished from the spot in an instant.

He now remembered that Su Yu had not yet entered the former residence of King Wen, and he did not even know that the former residence of King Wen existed. In other words, Su Yu did not obtain the Heaven and Earth Inkstone. Even if he went to the former residence of King Wen, he would not be able to obtain the "Way of the Inkstone".

The Heaven and Earth Inkstone is the key to unlocking the "Inkstone Way" room; without it, the room cannot be opened at all.

Failed.

Yun Jie secretly felt a headache coming on.

No wonder, no wonder he felt like he had forgotten something earlier, it turns out it was this.

Alright, once Su Yu returns from Xingyu Mansion, we need to guide him to discover the former residence of King Wen. There are several powerful warriors inside, as well as the Human Emperor's Seal once used by the Human Emperor. These are not to be missed.

Yun Jie turned his attention back to Xingyu Mansion.

······

At this moment, on the seventh floor of the Starry Sky Mansion.

Su Yu is currently engaged in a fierce battle with Zuo Hehou.

On the other side, Zuohe Hou became increasingly alarmed as the battle progressed. He thought to himself, a dignified Dao-Merging Lord and a dignified Death Spirit Lord, that he couldn't even defeat a mere Mountain and Sea Realm cultivator!

Even if his injuries hadn't healed, this was still too outrageous!

Despite his alarm, Zuohe Hou didn't think he would lose. Su Yu was completely under his control. If he hadn't been wary of Su Yu's strange death energy conversion method, he might have already defeated Su Yu.

"Kid, no matter who you are, you're dead today!"

Zuohe Hou revealed a contemptuous expression. No matter how strong your talent or combat power is, it is of no use in the face of absolute realm!

The thought of killing a peerless genius filled Zuohe Hou with uncontrollable excitement, especially since this person was related to his destiny.

"Pfft~"

Su Yu couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, his eyes somewhat gloomy. He glanced at the sky, and the portal leading to the eighth floor had disappeared again, just like when they had their last great battle on the seventh floor.

Therefore, Su Yu was certain that someone was controlling this door.

However, the portal had vanished, leaving him seemingly with nowhere to escape.
