Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 255 - 165: Application of the Law of Space, Infiltrating the Blood Evil Sect

Chapter 255: Chapter 165: Application of the Law of Space, Infiltrating the Blood Evil Sect

An hour later, a wisp of smoke drifted to the underground of the Blood Evil Sect and crashed directly into a light curtain deeply embedded underground.

The Sect Defense Array of any sect is comprehensive and covers every angle, including underground.

Trying to infiltrate the sect from underground using the Earth Escape Skill is nothing but wishful thinking. Su Yu never considered this; he simply continued to dive along the barrier of the Sect Defense Array.

"Hmm?"

When descending to a depth of about three to four kilometers, he suddenly sensed a figure crouching not far away in the soil.

"A companion?"

It wasn’t the Celestial Ghost Transformation, but a player using the Earth Escape Skill to sneak in.

That person also sensed Su Yu nearby but did not greet him, instead leaving quietly.

Su Yu naturally wouldn’t complicate matters and changed direction to continue his descent.

Perhaps he bumped into a team, as he encountered multiple players using the Earth Escape Skill during the subsequent dives.

After thinking for a moment, he simply changed direction again, diving to the right.

He rushed forward for more than ten kilometers in one breath, dove a few more kilometers, and found the Sect Defense Array barrier began to shrink inward. At the same time, he could faintly sense the trajectory of Spiritual Qi from the Spirit Vein embedded in the earth, and he followed it deeper into the earth.

What Su Yu didn’t know was that several kilometers away from him, underground, there was a channel ten meters in diameter. At the end of the channel, more than a hundred people gathered, many of whom were using Magic to dig out large chunks of soil and storing them in storage spaces.

A figure drilled out from the top of the channel, quickly came to the leader overseeing the work, and reported:

"Boss, I just sensed someone infiltrating the underground."

The leader turned and asked,

"Do you know them?"

"Don’t know."

"Where did they go?"

"After discovering me, they changed direction and left."

The leader pondered briefly, and said with a wave of his hand,

"It should be a rogue cultivator practicing the Shrinking Earth Skill. As long as they don’t come over to impact our array setup, just ignore them, stay vigilant around, and if they approach, call people to drive them away."

"Okay."

On the other side, Su Yu followed the edge of the Sect Defense Array barrier, diving more than twenty kilometers in one go, and could feel he was entering a sea of Spiritual Qi.

Clearly, he had reached the convergence point of the Spirit Veins beneath the Blood Evil Sect, roughly beneath the center of the sect.

Su Yu stopped here.

"Can’t advance further."

This Sect Defense Array is similar to how Celestial Cangtian imprisoned the Vast Sea underground. There must be a weak spot at the convergence point of the Spirit Veins where one can forcefully break through, but this is the only flaw in the Sect Defense Array. There will surely be people and deadly traps left here.

Other bosses might be fine, but if he’s unfortunate enough to encounter the Earth Immortal Supreme Elder of the Blood Evil Sect guarding there, it would be disastrous.

With the Earth Immortal and heavy restrictions, even if he transformed into a dragon, he couldn’t escape.

Su Yu’s gaze fell on the barrier, pressing his hand against it firmly, but it did not move an inch.

But it felt a bit hot to the touch, and he could feel fierce vibrations. Taking another look at the formation’s defense, which had a total of 900 million Defense points, it was now fluctuating crazily around 800 million.

This indicated that one side was frantically attacking the Sect Defense Array barrier while the other was manically injecting Mana to replenish the formation’s defense.

"Truly crazy."

He shook his head, without hesitation, summoned the Cyan Gang Sword, and activated the Great Divine Techniques with a thought:

"Sky-breaking!"

The Law of Space rippled, and a black thread appeared in the air as the tip of the sword moved slightly, lingering for a long time.

His gaze fell on the black thread, and suddenly a flash of insight crossed Su Yu’s mind, giving rise to many new understandings of the Law of Space and this move of the Great Divine Techniques.

Sky-breaking is not just a simple move, but an embodiment of the Law of Space and can be used in multiple ways.

For example....

He took a deep breath, burning 100,000 Mana, and the slightly twisted Cyan Gang Sword slowly pierced the barrier. The sword tip silently entered the Sect Defense Array barrier with a Defense of up to 900 million.

"Just as I thought!"

Su Yu’s face lit up with joy; the understanding he reached previously was indeed correct.

This move’s essence is not merely to violently tear open space, like before, slicing a boss into two halves for an instant kill.

But also using the Power of Law to tear open space.

As he now entered the Sect Defense Array barrier with a sword, the Cyan Gang Sword hadn’t touched the array barrier but had torn open the space, causing it to warp. The Sect Defense Array barrier, reliant on space, hadn’t shattered; only the space changed.

This is a multi-layered application of the Law of Space, and with continued use of this move, he would gradually understand more uses of the Law of Space until he fully masters it.

"This is the biggest function of the Sky-breaking Immortal Bone!"

Su Yu smiled slightly, letting his thoughts collect in the present.

The sky-breaking state could only last ten seconds. Su Yu swiftly moved the sword tip, creating a two-meter-high slit, pushing the sword back and forth to make a one-foot-wide gap, then retracted the sword, transformed into a Celestial Ghost, and drifted into the slit as a wisp of smoke.

The slit rapidly contracted after ten seconds and quickly disappeared; the Sect Defense Array barrier that had just been torn open to two meters long and one foot wide completely restored, without any trace of a fissure.

"Perfect!"

Now, no one knew that he had quietly infiltrated the Blood Evil Sect’s Sect Defense Array.

After a brief pause, the smoke-like figure moved upward.

Without a target, he wandered aimlessly.

He stealthily advanced a few kilometers in one direction, and when nothing was found, he’d change direction, continuing to sneak around underground without a clear goal.

He wasn’t afraid to surface; he was simply searching for something.

Typically, sects’ storage warehouses for resources were underground. He aimed to find one.

What was above ground?

The surface was crowded with people, with bosses everywhere; appearing above ground would mean easy detection. It’s much more enticing to stay underground and get rich quietly.

Unfortunately, without reference points underground, the map of the Blood Evil Sect he had purchased earlier was useless for locating warehouses and key sect areas.

There was no other choice but to continue drifting aimlessly.

Seeing no immediate results, Su Yu effortlessly used the Earth Escape Skill, while connecting to the Blood Evil Sect’s regional channel through his awareness.

This wasn’t the Blood Evil Sect’s faction channel but just the regional channel that Blood Evil Sect players could access, including guild factions sieging the Blood Evil Sect, and freelancers like him could also join.

"Blood God Association Guild Alliance Announcement: Recruiting members to attack the Blood Evil Sect’s mountain gates. Anyone regardless of cultivation and power can apply. One tael of gold daily, all medicinal pills covered."

This was a pinned announcement, showcasing the guild alliance’s substantial wealth. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

However, the second pinned message below also demonstrated Blood Evil Sect’s potency.

"Blood Evil Sect True Inheritor, Wang Wusha: On behalf of the headmaster, promises that any freelancers recruited by the Blood God Alliance, as long as they hold back in battle, and meet the conditions of being under 60 years of age, have an innate attribute of 20 points or more, and are active year-round in Dragon Map City and surrounding areas, can apply to join our sect with a screenshot of their logs. Those not selected will receive a 10-tael gold compensation."

"Oh, they’re really putting in the effort."

Su Yu compared the offers; relatively, the Blood Evil Sect seemed far more tempting.

After all, one side asked you to risk your life, while the other just wanted you to hold back, virtually effortless.

Earn your wage from the Blood God Alliance, then hold back, and later collect your compensation from the Blood Evil Sect. Such double-dipping was quite appealing.

If he didn’t have more important tasks, he would definitely be tempted.

"Thud!"

The impact from colliding his head against something hard jolted Su Yu awake. Upon awakening, he delightfully discovered a thick stone wall in front of him. A transparent barrier shrouding it reacted to the collision with the smoke-like Celestial Ghost as though it was tangible.

"What is this place?"

Circumnavigating the barrier once, he quickly mapped out a square space in his mind, noticing a large channel of Spiritual Qi connecting to the chamber’s base, feeding the square stone chamber with continuous Spiritual Qi.

"Is this a secluded chamber for cultivation?"

Su Yu dug out a niche underground, transforming back from the Celestial Ghost form and pressing his hand against the barrier, noticing that it had only ten million in Defense. He formulated a plan.

"Let’s get it done!"

This object’s Defense clearly wasn’t integrated with the Sect Defense Array. Attacking it underground wouldn’t alert the array.

Additionally, most cultivators entering seclusion entered a deep meditative state from which small disturbances wouldn’t awaken them.

Decisively, Su Yu pulled out the Cyan Gang and Purple Thunder Dual Swords, directing them at the barrier.

The dual swords whirled swiftly, rapidly depleting the barrier’s Defense. Su Yu listened closely, ready to flee at any signs of activity.

After a barrage of attacks, reducing millions of Defense from the barrier, there was no response from within.

Perhaps the cultivator inside was in a deep trance, or perhaps no one was inside at all.

With the Sky-breaking Immortal Bone condensed, his attack could ignore damage reduction from barriers and Restrictions. He relentlessly attacked, breaking through the Defense barrier within a minute, cutting a large hole in the stone wall.

Reaching in, he extracted a stone slab, revealing a circular hole and a stone chamber where an extremely aged and decayed elder sat cross-legged within.

Blood Shadow Elder Zhang Shiqi: Level 156, Elder of Blood Evil Sect, Aged, Nearing End of Lifespan, in Deadly Seclusion.

Magic: Blood Evil Skill (Mysterious), Bone Transformation Skill, Blood Transformation Flight Skill, Blood Light Divine Protection Skill, Profound Yin Ghost Capturing Skill.

Magical Treasure: Blood Shadow Divine Saber (Tier Seven), Blood Shadow Divine Miasma (Tier Seven)

"Jackpot!"

It was an elder awaiting death in deadly seclusion, and a player at that.

Su Yu instantly drove the Purple and Cyan Twin Swords to attack, the sword lights spiraled around the elder’s neck, swiftly slicing through.

In the absence of defenses, especially targeting such a vital area, the strikes were critical hits. Just after one exchange, and before a second, the elder’s aged head was severed cleanly.

From the corpse rose shimmering lights, condensing into six spoils floating over.

Su Yu beckoned, retrieving the spoils, eagerly inspecting them.

Blood Shadow Divine Saber (Tier Seven), Blood Shadow Bracelet (Grade Six), 7 Blood Evil Elixirs, Blood Transformation Flight Skill, one millennium Blood Ginseng, 32 Blood Essence Stones, along with 25 points of Merit.

"Wow, such a high drop rate?"

One death immediately dropped a Tier Seven Magical Treasure.

And this guy surely had low merit, yet killing him granted 25 merit points.
