The number of broken chains corresponded exactly to the number of body locks he opened.

If this is a coincidence, then everything is too coincidental.

But if the speculation is true...

If each chain corresponds to one body lock, then it means there are thirty-six shackles restraining humanity.

"This is a bit too exaggerated..."

Even Su Tu, with his indifferent personality, couldn't help but feel a bit shocked at this moment.

Su Tu faintly sensed that the remaining twenty-one shackles were beyond the reach of his current realm; he had already reached the limit of this first realm.

"The Immortal Power Seed's disturbance allowed me to glimpse that scene. Could it be... the body locks are related to the Immortals?"

"Thirty-six..."

Su Tu murmured this number. If the shackles are indeed connected to the Immortals, then the number of the chains surely hides a great secret.

According to ancient texts, numbers measure the heavens and earth, the number in evolution contains the Dao.

Su Tu suddenly thought of something, his expression turning somewhat solemn and excited.

He thought of a presence related to thirty-six, an immortality spanning almost all myths.

Above the Immortal Divine, the dwelling places of the heavens, the Thirty-Six Heavens!!

Could it be that the thirty-six body locks are related to the Thirty-Six Heavens??

"But it seems a bit far-fetched... perhaps it's just the same number."

Su Tu couldn't help but think this way.

Just as Su Tu was about to delve deeper into his thoughts.

Suddenly, a phone rang sharply, interrupting Su Tu's thoughts.

He picked up the phone to take a look.

His expression froze in an instant.

Oh no, he forgot about his aunt!!!

Su Tu quickly answered the phone.

A very gentle voice came from the other end: "Little Tu, is everything alright with you?"

"No, no, aunt. I just accidentally overslept. I'll come to find you right away."

Su Tu didn't want his family to worry, so he hid the matter regarding Chen Yuan.

"Alright then, I'll wait for you at the old place."

After saying this, his aunt hung up the phone.

After quickly changing into new clothes, Su Tu hurriedly left the house, his expression carrying a hint of panic.

His aunt, who was not much older than him, was Su Tu's grandfather's late-born daughter, raised together with Su Tu since childhood. Although called an aunt, she was more like a sister, that kind of blood suppression needs no further explanation.

Honestly, Su Tu couldn't understand how a girl with such a gentle voice could, at the age of seven, beat up and make eight little boys cry alone.

It's just that in recent years, his aunt's temper has improved a lot, possibly due to being battered by society after starting work.

Soon, Su Tu arrived at the old place, a Northeastern restaurant near the university town.

As soon as he walked in, Su Tu saw a figure with long hair reaching their waist.

"Aunt!" Su Tu recognized his aunt's back and hurriedly walked up.

"Long time no see, Little Tu."

One cannot deny, Su Tu's mother's side has excellent genes. His aunt's features were delicate; even though she was a girl, her willow-leaf eyebrows were sharp, her almond eyes alluring, beauty accompanied by a touch of heroism. Despite having long hair, wearing a sporty jacket gave her a refreshing aura.

Most of the dishes on the table were Su Tu's favorites, and the two chatted while eating.

According to his aunt, recently Star River discovered an exceptionally unique new star. The text on the planet turned out to be Huaxia's Chinese characters, and many relics even completely replicated Huaxia's ancient architecture.

His parents' current project was on that planet, and many leading enterprises were researching and investigating it. Even foreign races wanted a share of the pie, so Su Tu's parents were extremely busy now.

This time, his aunt returned to Blue Star mainly to coordinate some business and take the chance to visit Su Tu.

"By the way, aunt, has Zhang Meng contacted you recently?"

Upon seeing his aunt, Su Tu remembered Zhang Meng, who had moved out.

Unexpectedly, his aunt spoke in a disgruntled tone: "You brat, really? I told you before to check on Zhang Meng. Although she moved last year, she's just across the street. You eagerly agreed, but in reality, you didn't go at all, did you!"

"Also, didn't you say you owed Zhang Meng money? I was too busy to ask then, but later when I remembered to transfer it, she said there was no such thing. What kind of mischief are you getting into?"

Hearing this, Su Tu's pupils unknowingly contracted.

Zhang Meng moved last year??

Then who was attacked by the Xie Race at that time??

And who paid on his behalf?

At this moment, Su Tu felt his hair standing on end, but he didn't show it. His aunt had no aura of the Martial Arts Dao, she was just an ordinary person. Telling her would only make her worry.

Therefore, Su Tu laughed and brushed it off casually.

He made up an excuse that it was a prank he played out of boredom, though judging by his aunt's expression, she obviously didn't believe him but didn't ask further.

After the meal, his aunt had to leave first to attend to some work.

Before leaving, she handed Su Tu a ring with a unique design. The band was ordinary silver-plated, but the stone set on it was very special.

It was a black crystal-like zircon about the size of a fingernail, covered in dense writing.

"A while ago, I also went to that new star. This stone was unearthed with inscriptions, very ancient in origin. Knowing you like these ancient and mysterious things, I brought it for you." His aunt smiled warmly.

"My aunt is the best!"

"Of course!" His aunt raised her eyebrows slightly and elegantly narrowed her beautiful almond eyes, perfectly merging the feeling of heroism and beauty.

Su Tu received the ring and couldn't help but examine it closely. This pitch-black stone carried an ancient aura, and the writing on it was something he'd never seen before. As a mystery enthusiast, he was very interested.

But more than that, a sense of warmth arose in his heart.

Even after all these years, his aunt hadn't forgotten Su Tu's small hobbies.

However, he didn't wear the ring on his hand; he didn't like wearing random accessories on his hands, as it affected the feel when hammering people.

After separating from his aunt, Su Tu walked home, his expression turning solemn. According to his aunt, Zhang Meng had long since switched jobs and wasn't at the original company anymore. Last year, she even moved to an apartment arranged by the company, but Su Tu, busy with studies at the time, had no idea about it.

Moreover, the person hadn't paid for Su Tu, which means...when Su Tu had just begun exploring Martial Arts Dao, that woman wasn't Zhang Meng at all!!

But instead, something else.

"To transform into others' appearance, there are only two ways: Heart and Spirit concealment, or Transformation!"

"Thinking back now, it's all too coincidental."

Su Tu's eyes lowered, recalling the moments with 'Zhang Meng'. On the night he first engaged with Martial Arts Dao, he sensed a certain danger lurking in the darkness.

After throwing a punch, before delving into deeper reactions, Zhang Meng appeared.

Although Zhang Meng had a habit of teasing him before, she maintained boundaries and limits, mostly just joking.

But after that day, Zhang Meng's actions, whether wanting to bite him or joking, seemed to go a bit too far, yet at that time, having just started Martial Arts Dao, he didn't notice these details.

"Was it a beast... or something else?"

Su Tu's eyes dropped in contemplation.

"Dormant without reason, what good intentions could there be. If encountered again, hammer-kill it is."
