Tribulation of Myriad Races
Chapter 986: Red Clouds Island, Bright City (3)The Red Clouds Island was massive.
It was called an island, but any continent in the Sea of Stars would be known as an island simply because the Sea of Stars was too big. In terms of surface area, Red Clouds Island was more than three million square kilometers in size.
Yet it was only considered a small island in the Sea of Stars. In fact, there were many islands of similar size in the Sea of Stars. The island was circular in size. There was a realm entrance on the island.
But that realm was not too strong. Thus, it maintained a neutral stance. This was the realm of a race Su Yu knew quite well. It was the realm of the clearbright bird, the contributor of his Pure Source Art. That was an art capable of purifying source qi.
The clearbright bird race was a peace-loving race. Of course, it wasn't like they had any other options. They were too weak to be aggressive. But since they were known for their healing abilities, they were able to establish themselves among the myriad races. During the wars between the various races, the experts of this race would help with their healing services. Because of that, they were able to live rather comfortably.
Some races would still target them, but most were too embarrassed to actually attack them openly. Over the years, the Red Clouds Island had prospered due to the responsible management of the clearbright birds.
At the moment, the experts of various minor races had arrived on the Red Clouds Island. These were the people without the courage to go straight to the Ninestar Island.
The entrance to the Clearbright Realm could be found at the heart of the Red Clouds Island. Over the years, the clearbright bird races had built a large city around it. The city was known as Bright City. This was a city open to outside visitors.
Through this island and the open policy of their city, the clearbright birds earned a large amount of profits. And through their profits, they nurtured a decent number of young geniuses. But the gap between their geniuses and those from the major races was still quite big.
In recent days, as the experts of the various races congregated in this city, the atmosphere in the city had grown tense despite its many years of peace. But the clearbright birds were used to this. After all, this was something that would happen every ten years.Why? Because this island was located on the route heading to Ninestar Island. And beyond the Ninestar Island was the Luminous Domain Mansion.

The moment Su Yu stepped on the island, he felt a certain power in the air. That was the power of light coming from the Clearbright Realm. It felt quite comfortable. After looking around, he concluded that the Clearbright Realm was slowly turning the island into a part of the realm.
The moment the process was completed, the realm would probably be able to exert some of its suppressive force against all visitors. That might allow the Sunmoons of the clearbright bird race to face even Invincible on the island. One ought to admit that even minor races would constantly plot and scheme to move ahead of others.
Su Yu could not feel any suppressive force yet. Perhaps the assimilation rate was still quite low. Or perhaps it was simply due to his immunity as a human. An expansive city stood in the middle of the island. Surrounding the city were numerous towns and villages.
It was not known if these settlements were built by outsiders or if they were also built by the clearbright birds. In truth, there were natives inhabitating the Allheaven Battlefield even before it became connected to the various realms. The Heavenly Hunt Pavilion wouldn't have been able to remain in existence for so long otherwise.
According to the discovered records, the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion had most likely existed since ancient times before the connections between the Allheaven Battlefield and the various realms were severed. Thus, the Heavenly Hunt Pavilion was an organization as old as the ancient cities.
Naturally, none of that was of any concern to Su Yu. He felt a lot more at ease walking on solid ground. Even though he could transform into water, but there also seemed to be a lot morre dangers in the water. Realm entrances were everywhere. During his journey here, he had sensed several of such entrances.
The journey had been a nerve-racking ordeal for him. Most of the time, these entrances would be guarded by Sunmoons. If he accidentally approached any of them, he might invite the wrath of these Sunmoons.
His tribulation character had been extremely helpful during the journey. It would warn him in advance if he was on the verge of stumbling upon danger. In fact, he was starting to feel that this natural character was a lot more important than the rest of his characters.

Not long after Su Yu landed on the island, he was greeted by a clearbright bird.
He was amazed at how beautiful the bird was. With a lightly shining body and a gentle yet graceful appearance, one would find it hard to find the urge to harm any of them. More importantly, the bird welcoming him was a female bird.
"Respected guest, are you heading toward the Bright City?"
Respected guest.
Su Yu, who was still disguised as a mountainbreak bull, was emanating the aura of a Cloudbreach. Thus, he could indeed be considered a respected guest. After all, the mountainbreak bull race was a race with at least one Invincible. It was much more powerful than the clearbright bird race.
Su Yu nodded and asked, "Are my people here as well?"
"At the moment, there is no other respected guest from your race on the island."
The clearbright bird replied, "In recent days, the young geniuses and experts of various races have arrived. If you wish to enter the city, I implore you to observe the peace during your stay. Of course, sparring rings are available in the city if you find a need to exchange pointers with someone..."
After giving a short explanation, the bird said, "Respected guest, you can also look for the clearbright bird patrol to settle any issue you might have. Bright City welcomes visitors from all races. But we also hope that the experts of various races can exercise some restrain in the city. The clearbright bird race is weak. Establishing this city hasn't been an easy task for us..."
After complaining a bit about her pitiful race, the bird slightly leaked the fact that three Sunmoons of the clearbright birds were staying in the city, including one high-stage Sunmoon. This was a roundabout way to warn all visitors to refrain from causing trouble.
They might be weak, but they were right in front of their realm entrance. The experts of their race could easily reinforce the city if required. Su Yu listened silently, not bothering to say anything. This was how all minor races would act. They wanted no fight in their territory.
In fact, the clearbright birds were definitely not as weak as they pretended to be. They were able to monopolize an island in the Sea of Stars and establish a city on the island. They were doing much better than the giant crab race. Just look at their miserable crystal palace. It wasn't even as big as a random village on this island. After saying all she had to say, the bird flew off to welcome the next visitor.
Su Yu was unbothered. He continued flying toward Bright City. It was obvious a lot of people had arrived recently. He wanted to see if there were any familiar faces here. Sure, most of the familiar faces he knew were already dead, but there were some survivors.
For example, Dao Cheng and the little golden dragon. The two were still alive.
After a while, he reached Bright City. The island radiated red light, but the city actually radiated white light. It was likely that the power of the Clearbright Reallm had covered the entire city.
Evidently, they had planned well when establishing their city. He landed on the ground. Guarding the gate were several clearbright birds in humanoid form. They were all decently strong, with one of them being a Mountainsea clad in white armor.
They weren't surprised to see Su Yu's arrival. Their people were spread all over the island. Thus, they had long received reports on the arrival of a mountainbreak bull expert. Since this visitor was not a Sunmoon, there wasn't a need for them to worry too much about him.
Su Yu was surprised to see a golden noticeboard hanging beside the gate. His portrait could be seen on it. Yes. That was the portrait of his original appearance.
"Su Yu, human, Cloudbreach. Contact the divine and devil consulates in Bright City with any news about Su Yu. Ten strands of heavenearth profound light and a hundred heavenly source fruits will be rewarded for each verified information."
"..."
Holy shit!
How generous.
This was a reward only for his information. There was no need for one to even capture or kill him. Even Su Yu himself was tempted to claim these rewards. More importantly, why was this notice board here? Did they know that he would come here?
Su Yu was not the only person looking at the notice board. A lot of people were doing the same. Some would merely shoot it a glance before leaving. Some would even joke about it, "Anyone with news about Su Yu's whereabouts will be rich."
The companion of that person warned, "Just mind your own business. This is a conflict between major races. Do you really think the humans will ignore this? Are you not worried about your own life?"
This was not something one could take lightly. If the human race found out who the informer was, they might remain silent. But they could still take action since they wouldn't even need an excuse to kill an informer. Did this person believe that the divines and devils would protect him?
The people nearby were merely talking about the topic out of curiosity, but they might not necessarily have the courage to snitch on Su Yu even if they knew about his whereabouts. And Su Yu was not the sole human there. There were actually other humans there as well.
One of them snorted upon noticing the notice board. He looked at the Mountainsea guard and coldly said, "Are you looking down on the human race because we don't have any experts stationed here? Clearbright bird race, how audacious of you. Be careful lest a random human Invincible sees this while passing by and reward you with a swing of their blade."
The Mountainsea guard frowned slightly and said, "This was not a notice of the clearbright bird race. Please empathize with us. The divines and devils were the ones behind this notice. The same thing can be seen all over the Sea of Stars..."
The human ignored the reply and entered the city with a sneer. The Mountainsea guard could only shut his mouth helplessly. Life was hard for them as well. They were stuck between the major races. Would they dare to deny the divines and devils when they wanted to hang this notice here? And what could they even do after the notice incurred the displeasure of the humans??
Su Yu himself wasn't too bothered about the notice. After a moment, he entered the city. Nobody stopped him or charged him a fee to enter. That was a mere notice board. What could it even do to him? What even was the point of it?
Those capable of seeing through his disguise would have enough strength to capture him instead of snitching on him for some rewards.
But this proved one thing. The human race did not have much influence in the Sea of Stars. At the very least, their influence was incomparable to the divines and devils here. This notice board would have been cut down long ago otherwise. Clearly, the humans were weaker than the divines and devils here.
