Cultivation: But Not a Game
Chapter 400 - 294: Sun-shooting Divine Bow, Mount Five-Colored Divine Ox
The so-called travel map is created by players who are not interested in other activities but love to travel and explore. They mark the beautiful and rugged landscapes they discover along their journey.
After wandering around the sect, I casually picked a direction and looked down all the way.
Two months later, after making a big circle, I unknowingly arrived at the Endless Forest Sea.
Su Yu, along with Qingchan, stopped by the branch office to introduce the new subordinates to the lady of the guild.
After staying at the Endless Forest Sea branch for a week, they continued on their journey. When passing by the Demon Ape Demon Country, Su Yu suddenly thought of something and dove into the demon country with Qingchan, quickly reaching a demon cave.
"Mr. Niu, are you still there?"
Su Yu, with Qingchan, concealed their forms and entered the demon cave, shouting loudly outside the refresh pool.
A spray of five-colored divine light split the swarming spirit monsters, and a majestic Five-Colored Divine Ox over three hundred meters tall emerged.
Su Yu’s face lit up with joy, clasped his fists, and said:
"Long time no see, how have you been, Mr. Divine Ox?"
The Five-Colored Divine Ox glanced over with a snort, seemingly displeased, while Su Yu laughed heartily and took out a jar of Jade Nectar and tossed it down:
"Don’t take offense, Mr. Divine Ox. I’ve been really busy lately and haven’t had the time to visit you. Consider this my apology."
A rush of five-colored divine light caught the Jade Nectar, and after taking a sip, the ox’s eyes widened:
"Delicious!"
"Even the heavens’ Jade Nectar isn’t this good."
"Hmm, seeing your sincerity, I’ll forgive you this time."
Su Yu, holding Qingchan, flew down and opened the Sea Suppressing Realm Gate. Amidst the shock of the Five-Colored Divine Ox, a group of Spirit Puppets brought out pots of various spirit fruits, quickly piling them into a small mountain.
"It’s been a while since I was here, and these make up for the past."
The Five-Colored Divine Ox’s eyes gleamed, and with a roll of its tongue, it absorbed a heap of spirit fruits, juice splattering as it chewed.
"Not bad, tasty."
Su Yu chuckled and said:
"My Grotto Heaven is full of Spiritual Qi, planted with various spirit fruits and heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Mr. Divine Ox, why not join me in cultivation there? You’ll have fine wine and spirit fruits every day."
The Five-Colored Divine Ox, in the midst of its feast, paused and glanced sideways at him, saying:
"So after all that, you want me as your steed, just like everyone else, right?"
Su Yu quickly waved his hands, saying:
"Mr. Divine Ox, you’ve misunderstood. There’s no way I’d think that. It’s just that I’ll be getting busier in the future, and it’ll be hard to visit. If you’re willing to come with me, you can enjoy these every day."
"Hmph, you just want to ride me."
Su Yu.....
He was about to explain further when the Five-Colored Divine Ox’s tone shifted, saying:
"It’s not impossible for you to ride me, but you have to agree to one of my requests."
Su Yu felt a surge of joy inside and quickly asked:
"What is the request, Mr. Divine Ox?"
"I’m about to undergo a tribulation, but I’m without a suitable treasure for it, and I’m afraid I won’t make it. You need to help me get through this tribulation."
Su Yu immediately checked the Five-Colored Divine Ox’s attributes; it was at level 199, indeed about to face a tribulation.
He promptly patted his chest and said loudly:
"No problem, I’d help you even without this request."
The Five-Colored Divine Ox snorted:
"Then you go prepare, and come find me once you’re ready."
Su Yu chuckled, turning his hand to reveal an item and said:
"No need; I have something ready."
Divine Beast Saddle (Tier Ten): Immortal Treasure, standard saddle for divine beasts crafted in the Immortal Realm.
Transformative Design: The Divine Beast Saddle automatically adjusts to fit the type and size of a divine beast and its transformed form.
Command Divine Beast: Activate the saddle to control and command the divine beast.
Divine Power Protection: Activating the saddle communicates with the divine beast to form a protective Divine Power barrier around the beast and rider, defense 40 million, reduces damage by 60%, mana conversion rate 800, +10,000 defense strength, with traits: Five Elements Immunity, Steadfast as Mountain, Divine Travel.
Five Elements Immunity: Divine Power can isolate all five elements below Earth Immortal level.
Steadfast as Mountain: The mount remains stable and unmovable.
Divine Travel: Increases mount flying speed by 200%.
This treasure is among the three Tier Ten Treasure dowries of Qingchan; one was returned to the sect, one is the Sunshooter Divine Bow, and the last one is this, originally intended by Qingchan for Ao Run.
As it turns out, since the Five-Colored Divine Ox is facing a tribulation, it can use it as well.
Seeing the saddle’s attributes, the Five-Colored Divine Ox immediately bellowed:
"And you said you weren’t prepared?"
However, the ox was already tempted and did not retract its words, only requiring him to make an oath ensuring future treatment.
Su Yu nodded quickly and immediately made a vow.
"I, Su Yu, swear here and now to treat the Five-Colored Divine Ox well in the future, and to ensure fair treatment. Should I break this vow, the master-servant contract will be void, and the divine ox may leave at any time."
The Five-Colored Divine Ox watched him make his vow, sighed deeply, and said:
"I see that you follow the heart of heaven and carry great virtue, not one of the devil’s ilk. Very well!"
After speaking, it kneeled before Su Yu, muttering:
"With heaven above and earth below, I, Five-Color, today vow to serve this human as master!"
As soon as the words fell, Su Yu sensed something, opened a panel, and saw the notification that the Five-Colored Divine Ox had pledged itself to him, his smile growing wider.
The Five-Colored Divine Ox then opened its mouth, inhaling a stream of five-colored divine light to lift the saddle onto its back, where it expanded to fit the divine ox’s size.
Su Yu leaped onto the saddle, pointing a finger to transform it, rapidly changing it into a convertible car, then into an ancient-style carriage, and later into a fantastical-style saddle.
After some tinkering, it eventually settled in the style of a convertible car from his previous life. He pulled Qingchan up, sitting as if driving.
