Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 252 - 162: Breaking the Mountain and Destroying the Temple, Preparing to Refine the Immortal Bone

Chapter 252: Chapter 162: Breaking the Mountain and Destroying the Temple, Preparing to Refine the Immortal Bone

"Goodness, this city is quite something."

Full ships transport zombies, large groups of fierce ghosts follow behind the Ghost Banner, like a long river.

The magical treasures players use are diverse, but most are various demonic treasures.

Corpse refining, ghost refining, Gu refining and other demonic sect techniques which are rarely seen elsewhere are commonplace here, making Su Yu, a disciple of the right path, appear extremely out of place.

Fortunately, even though he seemed somewhat out of place and there were occasional curious glances, no one in the city provoked him.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. After entering the city, Su Yu casually found an inn to stay in. When he came out at night, he had restored his original appearance, but his look had changed significantly.

The appearance of the Golden Feather Robe on his body changed slightly, the golden material became dark gold, and the overall color and tone of his other equipment turned dark. He instantly went from a sunny, cheerful handsome guy to a gloomy one.

The reason he restored his original appearance was because the Mirage Dragon Pearl could deceive ordinary loose immortals, but likely couldn’t fool the Blood Demon Hall true disciples who practiced Supreme Heart Skills. If any of them noticed someone suspiciously hiding their true appearance nearby, they would definitely be on guard, making it difficult to act.

Restoring his original appearance wouldn’t have any impact, as no one here recognized him.

By now, night was falling, and many lights were already lit in the city.

Su Yu strolled leisurely through the South Street plaza of Dragon Map City, curiously observing the goods on many player stalls in the plaza.

Iron Armor Corpse (Elite): Level 50, crafted in extreme yin locations, skin tough as wrought iron, priced at 10 gold each, ten times more expensive than the Gold-winged Flying Centipede of the same rarity.

Back at the Thousand Feather Association, a Gold-winged Flying Centipede cost one gold and fifty silver each, but here it’s only one gold each.

Blood-bearded Mosquito, Flying Centipede, Red Flame Flying Snake, Ink Ball Bee, Flying Gu, Flying Golden Centipede, Golden Silkworm Gu and so on are sold in batches here. Su Yu had not been to the marketplace on Ten Thousand Poison Island and didn’t know the level of Gu insects there, but here both the variety and quantity of Gu insects far exceeded other places.

A giant Gu Bag can contain millions of various Gu insects, as long as you have the money, you can easily gather millions of Gu insects. Unleash them in battle, and the Gu Cloud covers the sky, quite an intimidating sight.

But it’s just for show, actually a paper tiger, a blast from a magical treasure can take out a large area.

In Dragon Map City, unorthodox methods are mainstream.

The most common streams here are the Gu Dao Stream, Corpse Dao Stream, and Ghost Dao Stream, followed by the Magic Stream and Flying Sword Stream.

The former three streams are mainly practiced by loose cultivators, so they are the most numerous, but the levels are uneven.

The Magic Stream and Flying Sword Stream are generally main studies for sect disciples, their numbers are relatively small, but they are powerful.

Even the demons refined by the Magic Stream are far superior to those in the Gu Dao, Corpse Dao, and Ghost Dao.

Su Yu discovered several powerful commerce societies selling formidable demons as he strolled along.

Common were White Bone Yaksha, starting at level 50 elite model, priced at ten gold each.

Stronger ones include White Bone Demon God, Five Evil Demon Gods, starting at level 70.

Even stronger ones include Great Power Vajra Demon God, Six Yang Demon Heads, Yin Yang Thirteen Demon Gods, Nine Child Mother Yin Demons, and the renowned Blood God Child of the Blood Demon Hall.

Compared to the White Bone Yaksha, these demons are much rarer but strong, not only having high levels but also higher models, mostly terrifying models, costing tens or even hundreds of gold each.

At a glance, the flea market is a mix of ghostly Yin Qi, dead Qi, ghost Qi, and demonic Qi, blood light blending together, a spectacle of chaos.

Su Yu just looked around with curiosity, did nothing else, as he had no use for any of the items here.

He hadn’t considered buying anything to disguise himself, since he had no intention of really disguising himself to infiltrate the Blood God Gang, that would be too troublesome. He had a better plan, which was...

With 500 gold, Su Yu found a local information broker and obtained all the detailed information about the Blood Demon Hall, Blood God Association, and Sikong Xiang.

The information was very detailed, recording even Sikong Xiang’s cultivation level, magical treasures, equipment, and past experiences.

Su Yu returned to his place and spent almost two days going through the information, then couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.

"No wonder he’s a true disciple, he levels up so fast!"

The data showed that Sikong Xiang’s information was much more detailed than what the sect had collected before; the sect updated its records once a year, and now they were outdated. Sikong Xiang was already at level 140, with little change in his demonic treasures, still the same few.

After establishing the Dao Foundation and advancing to a loose immortal, the leveling speed slows down drastically; if resources are insufficient, gaining one level a year is normal.

If one doesn’t work hard enough, not even gaining a level in a year.

The main reason Sikong Xiang could level up so quickly, gaining four levels a year, is because he had an immortal mansion supporting him.

This is also considered Sikong Xiang’s legendary experience. The records show that Sikong Xiang was initially not very talented, only slightly better than Su Yu, and started as just an ordinary, nameless disciple in the Blood Demon Hall.

But he was blessed with great luck and found an immortal mansion left behind by an ancient demon cultivator at the bottom of Rage Dragon River in a lucky encounter.

Within the Immortal Mansion, there are numerous treasures that have allowed him to be reborn, his talent skyrocketing, along with many hidden treasures inside the Immortal Mansion, including a Tier Nine Magic Treasure, significantly boosting his strength.

Using this as a foundation to stand out within the sect, he successfully obtained the supreme Blood Demon Scripture inheritance from the Blood Demon Hall, and successfully overcame the tribulation with the Tier Nine Magic Treasure.

Like a snowball rolling, getting stronger and stronger, shortly after overcoming the tribulation, he successfully advanced to True Inheritor.

Now, having cultivated for less than twenty years, he has already reached level 140, an incredibly fast rate among Loose Immortals, perfectly embodying the demeanor of an Earth Immortal.

It’s hard to say if he can pass the Earth Immortal Tribulation, but before becoming an Earth Immortal, he won’t encounter any bottlenecks; at the very least, he’ll be a higher-tier Loose Demon.

With such strength and potential, upon joining the Blood God Association, he quickly rose to a high position, becoming the fourth president and establishing the main regiment of four groups.

With the support of the Immortal Mansion, he quickly nurtured a group of experts, with even more than ten Loose Immortal level experts having passed the Celestial Tribulation within the entire regiment. Their overall strength now rivals the other main regiments.

"Indeed very strong!"

"In the front, I don’t stand a chance."

Su Yu knew that even if he transformed into a true dragon, he could not kill Sikong Xiang head-on. The mere few minutes of dragon transformation absolutely couldn’t kill a Blood Demon Hall True Inheritor who possessed Supreme Tier Magic plus a Tier Nine Magic Treasure.

He could only ambush.

And for the ambush....

Su Yu’s lips curled slightly as his gaze fell onto the information, clearly written on the current page. At this time, the Blood God Association, along with several allied guilds, was engaged in a major event, which might present an opportunity.

The data outlined the detailed reasons for this major event. Simply put, a demon sect originally affiliated with Blood Demon Hall, called Blood Evil Sect, suddenly changed allegiance to another major sect under Blue Mountain Island, the Yin Yang Demon Sect, which infuriated the Blood Demon Hall’s high-ranking members, who ordered Blood Evil Sect to be dealt with severely.

The order was issued, turning round and round into a large guild task that the Blood God Association took on. The guild, along with its allied guilds, gathered over 500,000 players to besiege the Blood Evil Sect, intending to capture the mountain gate of Blood Evil Sect.

According to the unspoken rules of the demon sect, such a change of allegiance would be punished by the original sect.

With the protection of the Yin Yang Demon Sect, Blood Demon Hall’s Earth Immortal level and above can’t take action, so they had to assign it as a task for the disciples.

Moreover, there is a time limit. As long as Blood Evil Sect holds out for a year, it will receive complete protection from the Yin Yang Demon Sect. Afterward, it cannot be besieged outside of sect wars.

When Su Yu arrived, the Blood God Association’s guild alliance had already besieged Blood Evil Sect for more than half a year, deploying nearly 500,000 guild members to surround Blood Evil Sect’s mountain gate. More than 130 Loose Demons who have overcome the Celestial Tribulation were assembled, engaging in fierce battles, but they still couldn’t break through the Sect Defense Array of the Blood Evil Sect’s mountain gate.

Because Blood Evil Sect is also not weak, with a Supreme Elder at the Earth Immortal level, over a hundred Loose Immortals who have passed the first Great Celestial Tribulation, and seven or eight top experts above level 180. Coupled with the Sect Defense Array and the sect’s pre-stored resources, no matter how much they wear them down, it’s difficult to break the Sect Defense Array.

But Su Yu saw an opportunity here.

Of course, it wasn’t aimed at Blood Evil Sect, but at Situ Xiang.

The guild alliance had limited time; over half a year had already passed, meaning they must capture Blood Evil Sect within the remaining months.

According to Su Yu’s understanding, if such a task fails, the one who took on the task will absolutely disappoint the sect’s high-ranking members, with position decline being a minor issue—the key is losing trust and inheritance rights.

True Disciples are like reserve members for the sect’s high-level ranks, and when the previous generation retires or perishes prematurely, successors are chosen from among the True Disciples.

However, there are so many True Disciples, and the order of succession is very particular, depending on whether you have support.

If you can accomplish tasks from the high ranks of the sect, bringing them glory, they will remember you the next time an opportunity arises.

If you can’t complete the task, embarrassing and shaming the sect, don’t expect any good opportunities next time.

Having already become a True Disciple, the only further pursuit is greater strength and status. Hence, Sikong Xiang will absolutely complete the task for this.

When the one-year term is almost up, if they still can’t capture it, they’ll have to fight desperately, inevitably leading to chaos, which is when his opportunity will arise.

"Time is on my side."

Su Yu pinched his chin, an idea forming in his mind.

He stayed in Dragon Map City for only a day before leaving on the second day, heading north along the Rage Dragon River.

He flew over a million kilometers in one breath and spotted a tributary, following it upward for more than 500,000 kilometers. In front, amidst the mountains, emerged a massive inverted light bowl, within the bowl is a sect, with pavilions and terraces, countless black demonic flames rising and converging into columns, shooting straight into the sky, forming a churning demonic cloud several hundred kilometers wide on the dome, within which a massive demonic shadow was faintly roaring.

Below the demonic cloud, dense figures hovered in the air, continuously launching attacks with magical treasures against the enemies outside the light curtain.

Outside the light curtain, stood over a hundred Great Power Vajra Demon Gods towering over a hundred zhang high, with levels above 150, constantly waving their large demonic arms to hurl a series of thousands-meter-long black air pillars at the light curtain, causing faint ripples.

Beyond the sect, swarms of player figures were frantically blasting the sect players.

Outside the city, newly constructed Divine Thunder Towers stood like a forest.

Not far away, in the Cangshui, numerous Poison Dragon Battleships were moored, and the artillery fire from the Thunderfire Towers never ceased firing.
