Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 222 - 133: Nameless Ancient Buddha’s Body, Innate Water Elemental Spirit Manifests

Chapter 222: Chapter 133: Nameless Ancient Buddha’s Body, Innate Water Elemental Spirit Manifests

The seventh finale item, an eighth-level high-quality Flying Sword—the Ice Soul Divine Sword, is a Divine Weapon with extremely strong attributes. The final auction price is the same as the Two-Pole Cosmic Light Disc, 21,000 gold.

"Ladies and gentlemen, next is the last auction item of this session, an unnamed ancient Buddha’s body, with the following attributes."

As the host waved his hand, a golden light fell, and upon closer inspection, it was a gold Buddha statue with hands clasped together.

The Buddha’s solemn and dignified appearance sat atop a golden lotus, his entire body radiating golden Buddhist light, a halo encircling his head. Su Yu’s gaze fell on the golden statue, and its attributes appeared before his eyes.

Unnamed Ancient Buddha Body (Legendary): Level 180.

Attributes: Qi and Blood 28 million, Mana 800,000, Attack Power 200,000, Speed 3000 kilometers/hour, Magic: Dragon Elephant Mighty Divine Techniques, Vajra Indestructible Dharma Body, Infinite Brightness Fire Heart Skill, Great Sun Buddha’s Divine Transformation, Other-Transformation Great Freedom Divine Skill, Dragon Riding Meditation, Celestial Dragon Zen Chant, Demonization (20%).

"Whoa!"

Su Yu’s pupils slightly widened, his face full of disbelief.

"They’re even auctioning off something like this?"

Beside him, Luo Qingchan was also slightly surprised and quickly noticed the problem, saying to him:

"This body has issues, don’t bid on it."

Su Yu also saw the ’Demonization’ characteristic behind the unnamed ancient Buddha’s attributes and nodded, saying:

"Of course I won’t, and I don’t need it either."

She recalled Su Yu’s previous transformation, nodding:

"You indeed don’t need it."

At this time, the host continued to introduce:

"Many guests may wonder why such a precious item is put up for auction. The reason is that this ancient Buddha once suppressed a Demon Eye for a thousand years, and the body was eroded by Demonic Qi. The ancient Buddha’s Primordial Spirit disbanded and reincarnated, leaving the body invaded by Demonic Qi."

"Due to the influence of Demonic Qi, this body is unsuitable for possession but can be refined into an External Incarnation using the method of the Second Primordial Spirit, unaffected by demonization."

"Starting bid for this treasure is 10,000 gold, with each increment not less than 100 gold. Please start bidding now."

"20,000 gold."

"25,000 gold."

"30,000 gold."

.....

"Goodness, everyone here is so wealthy."

In a short while, the price of this item soared to a high of 90,000 gold, leaving Su Yu dumbfounded.

However, he was only shocked by how wealthy everyone was, but did not think that the unnamed ancient Buddha’s body was not worth this price.

It was entirely worth it.

A level 180 legendary template unnamed ancient Buddha’s body comes with a series of top-level Buddhist Heart Skills, either exquisite level or sect-level, plus a Great Divine Techniques. Refining this into an External Incarnation, then working hard to level up to level 199 would prepare one to cross the second Great Celestial Tribulation."

If one were to successfully pass the second Great Celestial Tribulation, they would immediately transform into a Buddhist Arhat, equivalent to a Daoist Earth Immortal, standing at the pinnacle of this world. Enjoy a lifespan of several thousand years."

Of course, the second Great Celestial Tribulation is unimaginably difficult, and whether one can succeed is uncertain, but even if one cannot, the current level of the unnamed ancient Buddha’s body is very powerful, with not many BOSSs below level 200 who can defeat it.

No matter how much is invested, one can slowly recoup through its power, and loss is definitely out of the question.

Everyone could calculate this, so the price of the unnamed ancient Buddha soared as if there was no limit, quickly exceeding 150,000 gold, 200,000 gold, and continued to rise.

"No matter how much it costs, we must secure this item."

In Private Box 1, the president of the Sea Dragon Association, Kong Luoshu, slapped the table and stood up, saying in a deep voice:

"You all saw the Red Tide Dragon Slaying before, such an effort but failed to even subdue a critically wounded super BOSS. If we secure this unnamed ancient Buddha’s body and train it, we’ll have a chance against such super BOSSs in the future."

"Moreover, with such high-end combat power, we can surpass the Divine Ship Gang, we must acquire it."

Coincidentally, in Private Box 2, the leader of the Divine Ship Gang was also gathering the high ranks of the gang and allies to raise funds, with both sides ready for a big fight.

With both alliances vying, the price of the unnamed ancient Buddha’s body skyrocketed, reaching a point that made Su Yu click his tongue:

"That’s absurd!"

In just a minute, this auction item was pushed up to an astronomical price of 360,000 gold and was finally purchased by Private Box 1.

This price rivals the finale item prices of the once-a-decade Joint Auction. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

With the last auction item sold, the auction ended."

After leaving, the two sent a message to Qe Dongyang and left Feixing City to return to Jinjiao Island."

This trip was rewarding, with substantial growth in strength. Once the Immortal’s Manual is used, there will be further progress."

"After using the Immortal’s Manual, I’ll head to the Sword Palace."

"After coming out of the Sword Palace, I’ll return to the sect and then to the Thousand Feather Association."

Su Yu had already planned his upcoming itinerary."

However, when he was about to take out the Immortal’s Manual on the way, Luo Qingchan stopped him:

"Don’t use it now, it’s too wasteful."

"???"

"Wait until you go to the Sword Palace. If you can acquire a high-level Sword Formulas, using it during the transition will keep the Sword Formulas level from dropping much, preserving it to the maximum extent."

"Is it possible?"

"Yes."

Luo Qingchan seriously explained how the level of mysterious to supreme level Sword Formulas could be preserved during transition, enlightening Su Yu."

"Then I’ll save it."

It’s very worthwhile."

As she said, the Taibai Sword Scripture Su Yu is currently practicing is a high-level Sword Formulas, at level 80. If transitioning to a sect-level Sword Formulas, the level would reduce to below level 30, but if using the Immortal’s Manual during the transition, the level 80 Taibai Sword Scripture would be retained at around level 60 to 70."

If it’s a supreme Sword Formulas, normally it would retain around level 20, but using the Immortal’s Manual could preserve around level 50 to 60, making it very worthwhile."

This time, on their way back, they didn’t level up, single-mindedly focusing on the journey, taking only seven days to return to Jinjiao Island."

Back in Jinjiao City, as soon as his second brother knew he was back, he immediately came to meet him and asked:

"When are you going to the Sword Palace?"

"Within this month, right? Is there something going on?"

"There actually is. You might need to return soon."

"Is my master looking for me?"

"No, it’s a core disciple of our sect named Chu Xinyue who asked your master to find you."

Su Yu looked puzzled and asked:

"Miss Chu, what does she want?"

"She said you should return to the Thousand Feather Association as soon as possible, or else the guild might no longer exist."

"What?"

He was greatly surprised:

"Did she say why?"

"It seems someone named Ding Lingyu in your guild clashed with a second-generation member of the Immortal Sect, and the conflict escalated, affecting your guild. Now several nearby guilds have united against the Thousand Feather Association, and the situation looks grim."

"???"

Su Yu was still bewildered, unable to figure out what was happening.

"Shouldn’t normal competition not affect the guild?"

"If they can mobilize several guilds to unite against you, do you really think it’s normal competition?"

"..."

"Then I’ll head to the Sword Palace in a few days."

Su Huan frowned and said:

"Are you confident? If not, you can wait a little longer."

"It’s fine. A month earlier or later doesn’t make much difference."

"Alright, let me know when you leave, and I’ll take both of you there."

"Okay."

Watching his second brother leave, Su Yu pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling quite speechless.

"Ding Lingyu seems pretty stable. How did he end up fighting to this extent?"

"Could it be to compete for the identity of a direct disciple of the Tongming lineage? Or to fight for the inheritance quota of the Tongming lineage?"

Thinking it over, these are the only two possibilities that could escalate to this level.

Beyond that, no other conflict would involve the guild behind them.

"I hope there’s still time!"

He sincerely hoped the guild wouldn’t be in trouble, as it was the place he started from, and he had enjoyable interactions there.

He decided to tell Luo Qingchan about leaving early. Without hiding anything, he told her about it, and she had no objections. She could also go to the Sword Palace at any time.

After a brief discussion, they decided to set off the day after tomorrow.

After closing the communication, he pinched the bridge of his nose again and reached for a sip of Monkey Brew from the green jade gourd, only to find it empty.

He casually grabbed a jar of Monkey Brew from the Sea Suppressing Realm, intending to pour it into the gourd. The next second, he paused, looked up at the sky, and showed a surprised expression.

He hung a ’do not disturb’ sign on the door, opened the Sea Suppressing Realm Gate, and entered. At the center of the realm, he saw an absolutely beautiful goddess dressed in a magical robe woven with countless streams of light, standing there. A faint, invisible ripple spread out from her as the center.

"Has it finally formed?"

Su Yu murmured to himself, both surprised and delighted.

No need to explain; this must be the innate water spirit formally transforming after absorbing enough innate origin.

Previously, she had no attributes.

The initial template of an innate water spirit lies between myth and immortality; now it’s a mythical template. Once she overcomes the Celestial Human Tribulation and becomes an immortal, it will be an immortal template.

The practice of the Innate Water Element Creation Celestial Book was granted by the Heavenly Dao. Every innate being forms with a supreme celestial book perfectly aligned with their laws; she doesn’t need to practice anything else, just focus on this supreme celestial book.

"So powerful."

Su Yu looked up at the Divine Maiden with ice skin and jade bones, perfect and flawless. She gazed back, her eyes swirling with countless streams of light, breathtakingly beautiful.

The Divine Maiden walked barefoot, stepping through the void, slowly approaching Su Yu. When she stood before him, she bowed gracefully:

"Vast Sea greets Daoist friend!"

Her red lips parted lightly, her voice as gentle as spring water:

"Daoist friend, you aided me in my rebirth and provided me shelter. Such great kindness and virtue cannot be repaid. Here, the Vast Sea swears a grand oath to the Heavenly Dao, to be your eternal Dao companion. Should Vast Sea attain the Dao in the future, I shall surely aid you in achieving Dao as well!"

As her voice fell, a prompt from the Heavenly Dao appeared out of thin air in Su Yu’s mind:

"Prompt: The Innate Water Spirit Vast Sea wishes to become your Dao companion, do you agree?"
