Tribulation of Myriad Races

Su Yu rubbed his chin and said, "At the very least, that's the case with the earth dao. It is still not under the control of the immortals. As an earth elemental, you might be able to sense it. That was why you had decided to show yourself to the world as Topsoil Spirit, not Topfire Spirit or one of the other elements. You still stand a chance in gaining mastery over the earth dao, becoming an expert beyond Daofuse."

Topsoil Spirit's eyes flickered repeatedly. Finally, he said, "I don't understand anything about most of what you're saying. I only picked the earth dao because it felt much easier to cultivate. My compatibility with it felt higher."

Again and again, Su Yu's words had struck the very bottom of his heart repeatedly.

Su Yu simply knew too much.

Topsoil Spirit felt completely naked before Su Yu, as though Su Yu had dismantled and analyzed him bit by bit.

Su Yu laughed and said, "Topsoil Spirit, you have been a ninth-stage Cloudbreach for a long time. Recently, there were rumors claiming that you were finally a Mountainsea. So are you a Mountainsea already? I doubt so. I believe you are still waiting. Waiting to open the apertures of all five elements. Am I correct? Or perhaps you're trying to deduce the Five Elemental Art and make your advancement with 180 apertures.

"With your talent, I refuse to believe that you have never studied the apertures of the other races. The five elemental race is special since your race lacks source acupoints. Or to be precise, the source acupoints and soul apertures of your race came fused. For your race, source acupoints are soul apertures, and soul apertures are source acupoints.

"I believe you have more than 36 apertures opened. You are probably lacking only one opportunity. An opportunity to unify the five elements...no, you lack a cultivation method. That is what you truly lack since you are already capable of unifying the five elements."

Su Yu paused slightly, shook his head, and said, "No, something isn't right. Since you are capable of unifying the five elements, you should have the ability to freely utilize the five single elemental arts. But why are you still waiting? Is something still missing? Or do you lack mastery in some of the five arts? Or perhaps you have failed to unify the five arts due to the prohibition placed back then?"

"..."

Topsoil Spirit kept his silence. He merely listened as Su Yu talked about his deepest secret.

Su Yu said, "This might also be related to the separation of the Five Elemental Realm's origin. So, Brother Topsoil. Are you interested?"
