CHAPTER 59: CHAPTER 59: DIVINE SLUMBER ANCESTOR STAR, RETURN OF 3 DIVINE GENERALS!

Li Hu had no mischievous intent; he was being very serious.

Those geniuses who open twenty-plus apertures in a few days are raised on countless supplements, big medicines, and food tonics from a young age.

But as for Su Tu, he opened more than twenty apertures because he was constantly in a state of deficit, so he could only open twenty apertures. Now that he’s eaten his fill, the spiritual energy rushed through his body, and half of his apertures naturally opened.

Isn’t that damn freakish?

"Don’t be like this, it’s embarrassing for Old Zhou. There’s nothing new under the sun. In our era, there were a few anomalies who were born with all apertures open."

"But the child’s talent is indeed amazing. If you hadn’t brought him over today and made up for this deficit, it would easily pile up hidden ailments if discovered later."

Liu Bo said casually.

Upon hearing this, Li Hu nodded repeatedly.

Their line only excels in killing, but when it comes to nurturing and life enhancement, this Liu Bo is a true expert.

Even the master calls him Brother Liu.

The food he makes has various magical effects, and even a Great Divine Power User above Celestial Being was once saved by him.

The favors owed to him are countless; now that he’s older, he has returned to the Ancestor Star.

"Thank you, Liu Bo!" Li Hu cupped his hands, his voice respectful.

He understood that Liu Bo must have seen the hidden trouble in Su Tu long ago and added other supplements into this Emperor Set; otherwise, just this set could not deeply complete the sub-deficit.

Su Tu listened to their conversation throughout and understood what had happened. He too was very respectful and cupped his hands; this elder can be considered his benefactor.

"Thank you, Liu Bo!" His tone was sincere and earnest.

"It’s nothing, just business; I won’t charge you extra after all, since you didn’t order them; it was an impulsive act." Liu Bo said casually.

"Kid, just transfer the money directly to me."

He waved his hand at Li Hu.

"Finish eating and leave." After speaking, he didn’t care what the two were thinking and walked alone towards the kitchen.

Li Hu hurriedly transferred the money over.

When Su Tu saw the price of that food, he was also taken aback.

"Brother, this... really made you spend a lot."

Su Tu said somewhat embarrassedly; he hadn’t expected the meal cost such an astronomical price.

Li Hu had just made the payment, and the zeros following the sum formed a long line.

"No worries, this meal was worth it; it showcased your true talents."

"That Liu Bo is also a high-level person; although he isn’t skilled in killing, he’s truly a master in nurturing and supplementing. All these years, he’s been searching for disciples possessing Pure Heart Chef talent, but hasn’t found one."

Li Hu said.

"Pure Heart Chef? Martial Arts Cultivation is indeed bizarre, with every kind of talent." Su Tu thought to himself and suddenly remembered he had a skill like culinary arts.

"How are you feeling now?" Li Hu asked, looking at Su Tu.

Su Tu clenched his fists, only feeling the spiritual energy within his apertures rolling like a river, unendingly. Additionally, when the spiritual energy impacted the next aperture, it didn’t have the urgent and hasty feeling it used to have, but instead, impacted silently, seamlessly.

"Great, I feel way better than before."

Su Tu assessed his current strength; with the prior confrontation at Kashashitsu using this power, he had the capability for a fight without targeting the opponent’s weaknesses.

"What a monster, opening fifty apertures. Perhaps before the martial exam, you might enter the Mingtiao Realm and open the Bone Appearance."

"In the coming days, you should be a bit careful; the beasts collaborating with Three Deceits Cult might pull something, and given your talent, your Martial Arts destiny must be prosperous, easily attracting attention."

Li Hu warned.

Su Tu nodded upon hearing this.

"If you need anything, just let me know."

"Oh, right, in a few days, could you help me with something?" Li Hu seemed to have remembered something.

"No problem."

"Aren’t you going to ask me what it is before agreeing?" Li Hu looked at Su Tu and said.

Su Tu’s mouth curled up in a smile: "One should remember the grace of receiving favors for a thousand years."

Li Hu helped Su Tu to absorb a bit of destiny, but the affection hidden in it, Su Tu wouldn’t ignore; there are countless prodigies in the world, and he’s not the only one.

Since Li Hu regards him as a younger brother, he naturally wants to help his senior brother within his capacity.

"Good lad, it’s nothing serious, just to take you and flaunt to my sparring partner; he recently has a genius junior sister, and he’s quite smug. I want him to see what a real genius is!"

Li Hu said with a laugh.

"Alright." Su Tu readily agreed.

"Then I’m off, Tiger Brother." At an intersection, Su Tu greeted Li Hu before heading towards his home.

Li Hu waved his hand, bidding farewell to his junior brother.

But as soon as Su Tu walked away, his expression turned serious.

"Junior brother, rest assured, Tiger Brother will try to destroy all these creatures before your martial exam."

"Heh, a bunch of trash, thinking the Ancestor Star will have your Three Gods!"

The flayer that was captured ultimately had his brain extracted by Li Hu, revealing all the information.

The status of the opponent was too low, so there wasn’t much known, but there was one message carved deeply into the brain.

"Divine Slumber Ancestor Star, Three Gods will return."

Li Hu finally guessed what those lunatics wanted to do; they are collaborating with beasts to seek out the Three Gods!

"Junior brother, oh junior brother, your secrets, senior brother will bear them for you. Don’t disappoint Tiger Brother."

His gaze followed where Su Tu departed.

During the meal, he didn’t ask why, once he arrived, the heart and spirit of the Flayer disappeared.

He respects Su Tu’s secrets and genuinely sees potential in Su Tu, hence, before Su Tu becomes strong, he’s willing to silently erase unnecessary trouble.

....

Once Su Tu returned home, he impatiently entered his room.

Compared to the massive opening of apertures, he was more interested in the mysterious scroll inscribed with the Heaven-Flipping Seal.

Taking out the scroll, he gently opened it.

On it was a depiction in the form of ancient paintings of a hand seal, with a total of ten palm imprints, each illustrating different gestures.

Su Tu followed the gestures drawn on it, but nothing changed.

He activated the spiritual energy to attempt those gestures again, but still, there was no reaction.

"Could it be that I guessed wrong, that the system won’t allow me to learn ancient skills?"

Su Tu speculated internally.

These movements are mysterious and marvelous, each concealing profound meanings, but when performed, they show no reaction, just like ordinary gestures.

Yet Su Tu wasn’t reconciled and continued to study them.

He continuously imitated those actions, gradually losing himself in concentration; these actions seemed to possess some magic power, making Su Tu immersed in them.

By the time he regained his senses, two hours had passed.

"These hand seals are indeed a bit magical; they make you unknowingly indulge in them." Su Tu remarked.

He glanced at the system panel, with no additional prompts appearing.

Su Tu carefully sealed the scroll away, feeling no disappointment; even if it can’t be cultivated, this scroll is still an excellent collectible.

He thought this as he mimicked the Heaven-Flipping Seal hand gesture; this gesture has a few meditative properties, so it’s not entirely unrewarding.

He took a glance at the time, twelve o’clock, bedtime for cultivation.

His mom said she missed him, but didn’t call.

From now on, he would fully devote himself to Martial Arts training.

Su Tu muddled through these thoughts before drifting into dreamland.

The moonlight enveloped the entire room, as if someone’s gaze gently fell upon it.

...

Drip, drip, drip.

Like the hollow sound of water droplets falling, countless people with entire bodies flushed red, without skin, were hung on flaming hooks.

Their blood dripping into tiny pools, they should be wailing in agony, yet at this moment, each wore a smile, as if this wasn’t pain, but a blessing.

The sufferer stood high, looking down at the entire North Sea, with compassion in his gaze, as if pitying mankind.

"You are within the North Sea; this is North Sea’s glory."

"We’ll find you, to welcome your return with the utmost divine grace!"

"Divine Slumber Ancestor Star, Three Gods will return."

"Divine grace will come!"
