Chapter 256 The Birth of a Thousand-Refined Spirit
Unfortunately, the Spirit Hall was utterly destroyed, completely shattered...
Of the main families of the Spirit Hall back then, apart from Xu Jiawei's lineage who jumped out and became the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, most of the others chose to live in seclusion. Su Yu also went to Shrek Academy to investigate a large number of books and even looked up all the written records of the Su family. After comparing them, he later discovered that the Su family's ancestor was also a remnant of the Spirit Hall.
What an amazing coincidence...
"Dean Xian, it's been a long time." Su Yu stopped in his tracks as he looked at the familiar person in front of him.
"It's been a long time. It seems you've been doing well, even your soul power cultivation hasn't slacked off. Now that you're back, would you be interested in teaching at Shrek Academy?" Xian Lin'er still held high hopes for Su Yu. In all the years the Soul Guidance Department had been around, she had never seen anyone more suitable as an ultimate individual soldier than Su Yu.
Moreover, she and Elder Xuan believed that Su Yu could surpass Luo Yu, even though Su Yu had rarely appeared since the last competition.
"I'll consider that. But, Dean Xian, is there something important that you've come to see me about?"
Looking at Xian Lin'er in front of him, Su Yu knew that as one of the deans of the Soul Guidance Device Academy, she wouldn't come looking for him for no reason.
Xian Lin'er took out an invitation from her storage soul tool and slowly said, "The academy has already held talks with the Star Luo Empire and hopes that you will attend this meeting. Consider it a favor the academy owes you."
"Forget about favors. A month of meditation in the Golden Tree House at the Sea God Pavilion will remove Wang Dong'er from this operation," Su Yu said bluntly.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Xianlin'er looked at Su Yu meaningfully, clearly not surprised by Su Yu's words.
Su Yu nodded. "Of course, I don't think my handling of this matter will disappoint the academy."
"In that case, this meeting will be entrusted to you. We hope you can reach a reconciliation with the Star Luo Empire. They will also let you take over the Su family as soon as possible. The three great empires are currently in a weak position, so the academy does not want you to have too much of a falling out with the Star Luo Empire."
Xianlin'er's words were very straightforward; what she meant was actually the meaning of the Sea God Pavilion.
The young elites of the three great empires have been almost wiped out. If internal strife breaks out now, and if Su Yu really does defect to the Sun Moon Empire in a fit of pique, as Bei Bei guessed, it will be a huge blow to the three great empires.
"I understand, I'll handle this. However, there's one thing I'd like to know."
Whether the Star Luo Empire agrees or not is irrelevant to him. What he wants to know now is the specific timing of the operation, because it will determine whether he can successfully protect those key figures.
After all, if Shrek also perished there, Wang Dong'er would probably break down as well, since they were all comrades with deep feelings for each other.
Xian Lin'er did not refuse, and said, "Ask away, I will tell you everything I can."
"When will this operation take place, six months from now, or a few months from now?"
Time is very important. Once you lose control of the timing of the operation, it will be difficult for Luo Yu to provide the corresponding cooperation.
"It's tentatively set for six months from now. After all, mobilizing manpower among the three great empires is extremely troublesome. Moreover, with the three forces gathered together, the specific actions haven't been discussed yet. If we rush into action, I'm afraid we'll repeat the mistakes of Mingdu last time." Xian Lin'er didn't hide anything because she trusted Su Yu enough.
"Don't you have anything to say?" Looking at the silent Su Yu, Xian Lin'er felt that Su Yu had changed a lot compared to the spirited young man he used to be.
Su Yu smiled and said, "It's not that things are complicated because they've come together; it's probably that the three parties have disagreements about the rescue plan. There are many things that can't be agreed upon. Dean Xian actually understands this better than I do, doesn't he?"
Watching Su Yu leave, Xian Lin'er felt that the Star Luo Empire was currently obsessed with defenses. A perfectly good genius had been forced to disagree with the Star Luo Empire because of his family. If Su Yu were a guy like Huo Yuhao, Shrek Academy would probably have seen its Soul Guidance Department and Martial Soul Department develop rapidly under Su Yu's leadership.
Sea God Pavilion.
"Did that kid agree?" Yan Shaozhe looked at the smug Xian Lin'er.
Xian Lin'er said, "Of course, that kid agreed, but it seems that he will probably secretly participate in the rescue operation six months from now."
"Did he ask you about the specific time of your operation?" Elder Xuan seemed to remember something.
"If Elder Mu had taken Su Yu as his disciple back then, things probably wouldn't be like this now. Sigh..." Elder Lin sighed.
His words expressed not only his own regret, but also the regret of the Sea God Pavilion.
They brought glory to Shrek Academy, snatched food from Jing Hongchen's mouth, cleverly retreated from the Body Sect, and brought a lot of research data to Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance System, greatly promoting its development. During the turmoil in Mingdu, they led everyone to successfully avoid the army of the Sun Moon Empire, becoming one of the few teams to evacuate Mingdu.
Some people may question Su Yu's strength, but no one can question Su Yu's contributions to Shrek Academy!
"The Su family's situation is very complicated. Recently, we've discovered some information about the Myriad Mirror Sect..."
Inside the Sea God Pavilion, an aged voice slowly spoke.
"The Su family? Could it be that the Myriad Mirrors Sect is related to the Su family?" Fan Yu looked at the elder who had just spoken with surprise.
The aged voice continued, "About five years ago, the Myriad Mirrors Sect was just an unknown little sect. Even at the beginning of its establishment, the strongest person in the sect was only a Soul King. The operation and maintenance of the sect came from the Su family. Later, for some unknown reason, the Myriad Mirrors Sect disappeared, as if it had disbanded, and all the disciples lost contact with us."
"Now that the Myriad Mirrors Sect has reappeared, it is a powerful sect with a Super Douluo at its helm. Moreover, it is recruiting disciples in the Star Luo Empire, and even recruiting disciples in the field of soul tools. This shows that they also conduct research on soul tools. But how could a reclusive family possibly conduct research and development on soul tools while simultaneously focusing on martial soul cultivation?"
"You mean, Su Yu is very likely a former disciple of the Myriad Mirrors Sect, or perhaps he has connections with that reclusive family? Or is the Su family a branch of that reclusive family?" Yan Shaozhe pressed.
"No, the martial soul of that reclusive family has absolutely no relation to the Su family's martial soul. The Su family's martial soul is a mirror, although it has different branches such as the Ice Crystal Mirror and the Flowing Water Mirror, but the main body remains unchanged. However, the martial soul of that reclusive family is the Titan Giant Ape, which possesses the bloodline of a divine beast! Just from this point of view alone, it's impossible for the Su family to have any connection with such a family. The power of such a family can even rival that of the Upper Three Sects!"
The old master's analysis was very accurate, but it was still wrong.
Elder Xuan frowned and continued, "We're back to square one. Which side is the Su family on?"
"That depends on Su Yu's choice. It's possible that Su Yu might join the Myriad Mirrors Sect, or perhaps..."
Or perhaps join the Sun and Moon Empire!
Current information indicates that Su Yu has connections with the Myriad Mirror Sect, making the Su family's situation somewhat complicated.
The family was already going through a turbulent time, and now it has formed a vague connection with a powerful sect, which is indeed a headache.
"Don't overthink it. Since that kid agreed, he'll handle the Su family's affairs. The future Star Luo Empire needs Su Yu's help. Let him go without worry..."

Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, Mingde Hall.
With the final hammer blow, the roar in the laboratory subsided, and everything returned to calm.
"Finally, I succeeded! After more than a year of trials, I finally succeeded! Hahaha!"
In the laboratory, Luo Yu was excitedly dancing around. He had been looking forward to this experiment for more than a year!
At the same time, a blinding light appeared, golden light bloomed, and it was imbued with a thousand spirits!
During that three-hour forging process, every swing of Luo Yu's hammer seemed to resonate with the rare metal before him.
It was a magical feeling, as if the metal I was forging had come to life, and each forging was shaping and sublimating it!
The feeling was like a craftsman sharpening the edge of a peerless sword. It was like a master chef pouring their heart and soul into creating an unparalleled delicacy!
It worked!
This was the only success after thousands of failed attempts over 511 days!
This success marks a qualitative leap forward in the metal industry of Douluo Continent!
However, this leap was born in the Sun and Moon Empire!
"Record all the experimental data and preserve the materials used in this experiment. Gather everyone and begin studying this piece of metal."
Luo Yu didn't have time to dwell on things. If he could make spirit-forged metal widely available now, then battle armor and mechs would be a matter of time, because he was backed by the most powerful soul guidance center of the Sun Moon Empire, Mingde Hall!
Here, any breakthroughs or new progress are quickly shared by those level nine soul masters, who then immediately invest in research, thus initiating a new phase of technological explosion.
The Sun Moon Empire's foundation in soul tools has always been terrifyingly strong. Su Yu originally thought that the Sun Moon Empire's research was too one-sided, until Luo Yu completely infiltrated the Mingde Hall and discovered that the Sun Moon Empire's progress was stuck on materials and energy!
Moreover, the research of the Sun Moon Empire is too comprehensive, covering almost all aspects from people's livelihood to weapons. The Sun Moon Empire has a complete research system.
It is precisely because of the need to maintain this complete system that the Sun Moon Empire still lacks manpower, and even eighth-level soul masters have invested heavily in research!
However, participating in these studies also comes at a price, which is why Xuan Ziwen was unwilling to be bound by them and did not join in.
