Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 150 - 74: Arrival at Xuanzhen Immortal Sect

Chapter 150: Chapter 74: Arrival at Xuanzhen Immortal Sect

"The recruitment of direct disciples by the Wandering Dragon Ancestor is to nurture Earth Immortal True Monarchs within their own line. Those with the potential of a Loose Immortal alone are not even considered, and effort is not invested in their cultivation."

At this point, Ding Lingyu glanced at him again and continued:

"Although you have decent innate bone structure, your innate perception and six senses are too lacking. At most, you have the potential of a Loose Immortal. Becoming an Earth Immortal is nearly impossible. The Wandering Dragon Ancestor would almost certainly not choose you as a direct disciple."

Su Yu was taken aback. Chu Xinyue had never mentioned this to him.

"Don’t be skeptical. The resources needed for advancing to an Earth Immortal are extravagantly large. After reaching level 150, relying on training to accumulate battle experience for advancement is unrealistic. Other methods become necessary, which are also limited for Earth Immortal True Monarchs."

"To give an example, while others might need only one share of resources to rise a level, you might require two or even three. What choice do you think others would make?"

"Of course, if you don’t rely on these, studying under the Monarch Youlong can still be beneficial. Although resources might not be abundant, the status under an Earth Immortal guarantees top-tier Daoist Sword Formulas and forbidden Divine Techniques. While you might not acquire ninth or tenth-tier exceptional flying swords or magical treasures, acquiring several seventh or eighth-tier ones shouldn’t be a significant problem."

Ding Lingyu spoke in a comforting tone:

"Overall, it’s better than apprenticing under the majority of Loose Immortals."

"You’re really a nice guy."

Su Yu’s good mood was gone. He turned back and opened the panel, observing his innate perception and six senses still below twenty, and glanced at the Nine Heavens Bone Forging Skill that hadn’t started to improve yet, clicking his tongue involuntarily.

"Should I first gather battle experience to refine a few Immortal Bones?"

A single Immortal Bone increases all innate attributes by +5, two add +10, and three add +15. Even the lowest perception and six senses could exceed 30 points, while innate bone structure could surpass 45 points.

With innate attributes reaching that level, they would surely meet the innate attribute requirements of an Earth Immortal potential. At that time, combined with his talent, defeating these competitors would be easy, becoming the direct disciple of Monarch Youlong.

Yes, even if Ding Lingyu wasn’t optimistic about him, Su Yu would not give up this opportunity.

Just as Ding Lingyu comforted him, even if Monarch Youlong didn’t value him highly, the foundational resources under an Earth Immortal figure would still surpass most Loose Immortals.

Moreover, he didn’t believe he had no chance at all.

In the Thousand Feather Guild, he was not at the bottom regarding talent. Yet, he eventually defeated all opponents and topped the ranks through relentless effort. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Having achieved it before, he could do it this time as well.

"I need to work harder this time."

Su Yu made up his mind, his heart naturally regained calmness, unaffected anymore.

The flying ship then continued westward, soon entering an unfamiliar environment.

As they enjoyed the scenery, the five gathered together to chat.

The group of four was already familiar with each other, as they were from the same place heading to Xuanzhen Immortal Sect, naturally feeling more at ease. Lan Yiyi specially set up a four-person chat group for future mutual assistance after entering the sect.

A week later, the flying ship veered south off the Yuanjiang River, below lay an endless expanse of dense forests.

The flying ship spent five days traversing the boundless dense jungles, encountering the detoured Yuanjiang River again, then followed it upstream for two more days until a massive city emerged amidst a range of mountains.

This city, built along the banks of the Yuanjiang River, is encircled by five megastructures tens of thousands of meters high, their peaks flattened as city walls, dense structures built along the mountain edges surrounding the city.

The city spans over a thousand kilometers in diameter, containing rivers and mountains of varying heights within, and even mortals reside within its bounds.

Su Yu opened the map, revealing the city named Five Dragon City, the largest city within a million kilometers in the vicinity, and the congregation point for players within the same range.

The Spiritual Wing Flying Ship arrived at the city, surrounded by players everywhere or riding larger flying ships, ascending by air, or on the backs of avian beasts, densely packed.

Compared to the city visited before near the Chixiao Sword Vein, this overwhelming number of players made the former seem insignificant.

Xu Lulu looked at the enormous city, her face full of shock and couldn’t help but click her tongue and mutter:

"Such a large city, under which faction does it belong?"

Su Yu and Lan Yiyi both shook their heads:

"Not sure."

Looking towards Ding Lingyu, he also shook his head and replied:

"I’m not sure either."

Then Chu Xinyue, who usually spoke the least, suddenly opened her mouth and said:

"Five Dragon City belongs to the Qingxu Lineage of Xuanzhen Immortal Sect, the domain of Spirit Extreme True Monarch."

"Oh."

"Such a large city is all under Spirit Extreme True Monarch’s control?"

"To be precise, Five Dragon City plus a surrounding radius of a hundred thousand kilometers all fall under the forbidden area of Five Dragon City, with all assets within belonging to Spirit Extreme True Monarch."

"That’s amazing!"

"If you manage to advance to Earth Immortal True Monarch in the future, you too can attain a domain."

"Tsk tsk!"

Just from what Su Yu could see, the number of active players near Five Dragon City was likely over ten million, generating who knows how much daily profit.

"Truly envious."

The Spiritual Wing Flying Ship moved straight into Five Dragon City, without a hint of delay, heading straight inward, where there was a row of small peaks, their tops flattened, each housing massive Teleportation Arrays, with large numbers of players queuing outside waiting for transport.

Whenever enough players gathered, the controller would activate the portal, accompanied by surging Spiritual Light rising to the sky, the potent forces twisting space, transporting people and things within the array to places beyond millions of kilometers.

The Spiritual Wing Flying Ship queued slowly behind, two hours later it was their turn.

The five disembarked and ascended to the platform, joining others to stand on the teleportation portal.

"Buzz!"

Dazzling Spiritual Light surged skywards, an invisible power twisting space, causing Su Yu to see Ding Lingyu and others in front of him contorted, as if they were being stirred into a mess in a washing machine.

But again, when their feet touched the ground solidly and the Spiritual Light disappeared, everyone was just fine.

"Everyone, leave the Teleportation Array immediately, do not interfere with others."

Exiting the Teleportation Array, Su Yu looked up at the surroundings, mouth agape and face full of shock.

They were on a massive platform suspended in the air, overhead was another platform, the group flew off the platform, realizing that above there were still more stacked platforms, looking like plates layered in the sky.

Occasionally surges of Spiritual Qi gushed from circular ships, from which masses of players would fly out off various platforms.

Beyond the platform was a vast, unbounded, immense Immortal City.

In the void were floating platforms of varying sizes or inverse mountain peaks, densely packed with structures, glistening with Treasure Light.

Further away, white clouds floated, various colorful lights and mist swirling, faintly revealing many gigantic floating island platforms, with occasionally dazzling Treasure Light tearing through the sky, massive beams of light rushing upwards.

Looking up into the sky, a colossal disc over ten thousand in diameter turned, with fine Spiritual Patterns decorating its surface, and enormous passageways hollowed within.

After leaving the Teleportation Platform, the flying ship moved straight towards the horizon, through the passageways of the gigantic disc, above which billowing white clouds and Spiritual Mist could be seen, with occasional views of flying ships or silhouettes emerging from the clouds diving into the Immortal City below.

Sporadically, silhouettes ascended from the city, flying towards an enchanting Spirit Mist Immortal Realm like a pathway between Immortals and Mortals.

The group gazed around with reverence, taking a deep breath, the dense Spiritual Qi overwhelmed senses.

Though the total Spiritual Qi wasn’t abundant, inferior to the Spirit Vein beneath a demonic stronghold he had conquered before, it was everywhere above while below was in the Spirit Vein.

The flying ship passed through a thick layer of clouds, ascending into a new world.

Beneath the layers of clouds was a new world, dotted with towering peaks tens of kilometers high, covered in pavilions and terraces, shrouded in Spiritual Mist, and radiating Treasure Light.

Floating peaks suspended in the air, lush and verdant, Spiritual Qi from the thick mist spilled from the floating peak, cascading down the sides like waterfalls, intensely beautiful.

"What a grand Immortal family’s flourishing realm!"
