Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 262 - 172: Nine Heavens Nascent Soil, Land Creation within the Sea Suppressing Realm

Chapter 262: Chapter 172: Nine Heavens Nascent Soil, Land Creation within the Sea Suppressing Realm

The recipe costs 500 gold, and he bought it directly.

The two main materials were available for purchase: a thousand-year snow lotus for 300 gold each, and a portion of Extreme North Profound Ice Marrow for 200 gold, totaling exactly 500 gold.

Su Yu bought materials for five vats directly, spending a total of 3000 gold including the recipe, which should last for a few years if he alternates between Moonlight Condensed Dew and Vast Sea to dissipate fire.

After buying the items, he returned to the sect and headed straight for the Internal Affairs Hall, using a major contribution to exchange for a piece of Nine Heavens Earth.

This thing was incredibly important to him.

Many plans and bold ideas couldn’t be implemented due to the limited space within the Sea Suppressing Realm.

The Nine Heavens Earth appears in a chaotic color, resembling an eternally growing clod of earth, but its size remains unchanged, never growing.

Its surface is covered with densely packed chains of runes, serving as a seal to prevent the infinite growth of the Nine Heavens Earth.

Once the seal is lifted, it will quickly expand to become as large as a mountain, and before long, it could form into an island; with sufficient time and Spiritual Qi, it could transform into a continent.

Theoretically, the growth of the Nine Heavens Earth is infinite, but practically, its growth is affected by the environment and Spiritual Qi, and its expansion slows down after reaching a certain extent.

Su Yu took the Nine Heavens Earth home, entered the Sea-Suppressing Pearl, and brought out the Earth, immediately catching Vast Sea’s attention.

"Nine Heavens Earth!"

She accepted the chaotic clod, asking joyfully:

"How do you plan to adjust and grow it?"

Su Yu already had a draft in mind, took out paper and pen, and started drawing in front of her.

In a short while, a design draft was completed and pushed toward her.

"Start from the seabed, first laying a layer of land as the crust, then gradually developing a certain number of islands, and finally in the center, as well as in the southeast, southwest, northwest, and northeast directions, derive a subcontinent each."

"The center will be the main continent, held up by four pillars."

He casually grabbed some soil from the spiritual field, molded a model by hand, and demonstrated to her.

While saying it is held up by pillars, in reality, it is the hollow center at the base of the solid continent; similar to a table, the central bottom of the continent is the center of the Sea-Suppressing Pearl, where the realm’s Spiritual Qi and innate essence gather. Here, in the future, an immortal mansion will be established as the core of the realm.

Spiritual Qi surges from here, flowing through the surrounding channels into the four seas.

Vast Sea carefully examined the model, nodding:

"I know how to proceed."

She first suspended the previously diligently constructed spiritual field, then holding the Nine Heavens Earth, turned and arrived at the central seabed of the Sea-Suppressing Realm. With a mere thought, the seal on the Nine Heavens Earth was lifted, and the chaotic clod rapidly expanded, swelling to the size of a small building within seconds.

She tossed the Nine Heavens Earth to fall into the realm’s base, with the continuously surging earth under her mind’s control beginning to flow in all directions, slowly covering the seabed.

Simultaneously, four stone pillars with diameter exceeding three kilometers began to rise from the initial position where the Nine Heavens Earth fell, slowly extending upwards.

The four stone pillars were three kilometers in diameter, yet only one kilometer apart, giving an appearance of solidity and stability, rather than thinness.

Meanwhile, she began adjusting the water level of the Sea-Suppressing Realm, allowing it to slowly descend until it stopped when it reached about two-thirds of the realm’s height, just aligning with the top ends of the ascending stone pillars.

The stone pillars ceased growing upwards, starting to grow outwards until the horizontal growth of the four stone pillars contacted each other and merged into one, forming a continent prototype as thick as ten kilometers.

At this point, the diameter of the Sea-Suppressing Realm measured 30 kilometers, and the central continent had a diameter of about ten kilometers, occupying a large proportion; the other four continents hadn’t been derived yet, to be developed later when the Sea-Suppressing Realm expands further.

However, as the Sea-Suppressing Realm expands continuously, the proportion of the central continent will gradually decrease.

After all, the Sea-Suppressing Pearl is primarily a water-based Innate Spiritual Treasure, where water areas will hold absolute dominance, and in his plan, the total area of the five continents will only comprise 10% in the future.

Once the Nine Heavens Earth completely covered the Sea-Suppressing Realm and stopped expanding, Su Yu immediately placed down the former spiritual field, transplanting all Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures planted inside onto the central continent.

After finishing these tasks, Su Yu let out a light breath.

Leaving the Sea-Suppressing Realm, Su Yu promptly used the Sect Transmission Array to teleport to Mingsu Palace.

After a word with his second brother and second sister, he returned to Ten Thousand Poison Island.

Nothing much to say, leveling up first.

Anyway, the accumulated merits, sect contributions, and demon-slaying counts had all met the criteria, as per the master ancestor’s words the past top ten were much inferior to him, securing a place in the top ten was for sure.

For the final trial, the top ten would still need to compete for two spots, even accumulating another hundred thousand merits, he would still have to fight against the other nine people.

Given this, it was unnecessary to take risks, better to focus on leveling up.

Currently, he had accumulated 4.98 billion slaying experience and 7808 points of Dao practice, reaching the next piece of Immortal Bone required a final effort.

There was no dilemma for choosing the next Immortal Bone; it would definitely be the Celestial Might Star Bone.

While it couldn’t directly solve the Blood God Curse, it could at least suppress it to some extent.

Returning to Ten Thousand Poison Island, he joyfully joined Miss Luo Qingchan for some duo games.

Besides occasionally guiding the second squad’s subordinates, most times he leveled up alongside Qingchan, living in a two-person world.

However, the Blood God Curse was quite annoying, continuously arousing him with desire while with his beloved, forcing him to occasionally retreat into the Sea-Suppressing Realm to rest, utilizing Vast Sea’s innate water spirit power to suppress inner fire during daily rest periods.

With Qingchan now, he could engage in some intimate gestures, privately measuring, feeling the texture, but couldn’t go further yet.

If he dared to advance further, the consequences would be severe.

It is highly likely that her ancestor would immediately appear and crush him in a lethal strike.

Four months later, specifically three months and twenty-eight days after he killed Sikong Xiang and returned, with only five days left before the trial ends, Su Yu bid farewell to Qingchan and returned to the sect together with his second brother from Mingsu Palace.

However, before leaving, he took out 36 Thousand-Year Vermillion Fruits and 100 portions of Earth Vein Spirit Fish and handed them to Qingchan, to serve as welfare for the second troop, allowing his subordinates to exchange them.

This would last for two years.

The reason he didn’t keep 18 for himself is because the Thousand-Year Vermillion Fruits wouldn’t be produced again in the next two years.

This time, after the Thousand-Year Vermillion Fruits matured, he used his sword to chop down the Thousand-Year Vermillion Fruit tree, divided it into four branches, and along with the main trunk, replanted five portions.

A single branch could once grow a Thousand-Year Vermillion Fruit tree, it can still be done now, and it’s even easier because now Vast Sea has successfully taken on a form, and its abilities are far stronger than before.

One Thousand-Year Vermillion Fruit tree is still too few.

He planned to wait for these five to grow, then cut one to reproduce again, leaving four trees to bear fruit. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Repeating the process back and forth, expanding the Thousand-Year Vermillion Fruit trees into a forest.

In a matter of ten years, he would grow hundreds of Thousand-Year Vermillion Fruit trees, with an annual batch of 3600 Thousand-Year Vermillion Fruits, simply delightful.

Upon returning to Xuankong Mountain, many disciples had already returned.

It wasn’t just the dozens of disciples who participated in the trial, most disciples of Xuankong Mountain had returned.

Besides the significant affair of disciples competing for the sect’s heritage quota, the second major event was the upcoming end-of-year internal comparison of Xuankong Mountain, with numerous disciples returning to prepare for the comparison.

Their trial came first, and the comparison followed.

Still at Xuankong Mountain’s main hall, the heads of the seven veins of Xuankong Mountain were all present, the disciples stood in the center, fellow sect members and relatives watched on, and his second brother specially returned with him to the mountain to observe his quota acquisition, standing at the other side of the main hall.

In Su Huan’s view, gaining the heritage of the sect was a major event, symbolizing the current faction’s Core Discipleship, extremely important.

The eldest brother acts as a father, so of course he had to come here once.

Master Xuanwei held his hands behind his back, smiling at the disciples:

"This year’s second half Xuankong Mountain heritage trial has ended, I and the heads of the veins have examined the Shadow Immortal Imprints of the trial disciples, confirming the following ten disciples have entered the top ten in the comprehensive scoring of this trial, qualifying for the final contention stage."

Grandmaster glanced at the disciples standing in the center and said in a deep voice:

"Now, those whose names I read, take a step forward, ranking is not in order."

"Ye Xiyi, Lang Qiu, Xiang Jun’an, Kong Yuecheng, Su Yu, Lan Hongwen, Jiang Wanqing, Wang..."

As the names were announced one by one, the figures stepped forward from the crowd.

The crowd’s expressions changed with each name announced, some were pleased, others disappointed.

Su Yu soon heard his name and naturally stepped forward, coincidentally next to Ye Xiyi, he instinctively smiled and nodded, but Ye Xiyi was expressionless, and then Su Yu heard Ye Xiyi’s voice:

"Don’t be overjoyed too soon, I will prove to the grandmaster that I’m not inferior to you."

"???

"Quite baffling!"

After all the names were announced, eight men and two women emerged, receiving the attention of the crowd.

Su Yu sensed something and turned around, seeing his master smiling cheerfully, exchanging handshakes and jokes with neighboring uncles and masters.

His gaze drew the attention, and third senior brother and fifth senior sister gave him thumbs up, encouraging him with cheers he heard.

He smiled slightly, turning back to see the grandmaster wave his large sleeve, a stream of light flew out and fixed in the air, a beam of light hung in the air, displaying the ten names just announced along with their accumulated scores, clearly showing everybody’s scores and ranking.

The top name was only two characters, Zuo Su, right Yu, scoring 100, while the second-ranked only had 76 points, creating a stark gap.

With the list out, it drew the eyes of the crowd, he could feel the surrounding nine looking at him, several were eager to challenge.

"Could it be they all know about my matters?"

Just then, the grandmaster’s voice rang out again:

"The above ten disciples are the top ten in comprehensive evaluation for this trial, entering the final contention, competing for rank through martial prowess. Each will battle nine times, the top two disciples in winning match counts will inherit the sect’s supreme Profound Court Manual."

After speaking, the grandmaster waved his sleeve again, and flowing light descended from the dome of the main hall, in mid-air, it coalesced into a light ball suspended, within the ball was a domain.

"Which among you disciples will take the initiative, becoming the arena master?"

The disciples’ eyes brightened, someone immediately stepped forward, loudly said:

"Disciple Lang Qiu wishes to take the lead!"

He turned to give Su Yu a provocative glance, leaped into the light ball.

Su Yu raised an eyebrow, preparing to accept the challenge, but someone was faster, joining the light ball before him:

"Disciple Lan Hongwen!"

The others who were slower looked frustrated.

This shows the difference between elite disciples and the ordinary ones, they are confident in their strength, unafraid of challenges, nor frightened to reveal their strength and strategies to opponents.
