Cultivation: But Not a Game
Chapter 448 - 315: Qingchan’s Immortal Fate, Mother of Mount Li
"Tip: Ancient Dragon Bloodline +10, Supreme Dragon Transformation All Attributes +100%, Magic Damage +100%, Fire Element Law and Life Law +5, Comprehend Dragon Race’s Divine Technique—Ancient Dragon Enlightenment."
"Ancient Dragon Enlightenment: Consume 50% of maximum mana to transform a member of the demonic race with Dragon Race bloodline into a True Dragon, with a minimum of supreme template and a maximum of legendary template. Cooldown: 12 months."
After the metamorphosis, the level of Supreme Dragon Transformation remained unchanged at precisely level 300, but its attributes were directly doubled.
Qi and Blood increased from 3 billion to 6 billion.
Mana increased from 30 million to 60 million.
Physique increased from 50 million to 100 million.
Strength increased from 100 million to 200 million, and with the 100% attack bonus from the Ancient Dragon Claw, a casual swing could reach an attack power of 400 million.
Magic damage bonus increased from 20 million to 40 million.
"Awesome!"
The level did not change, yet the combat power increased several folds, and the powerful attributes made Su Yu feel itchy with excitement.
"No, I have to try and understand my strength properly."
"Fortunately, the tasks assigned by the master include several kinds of celestial herbs. While making money, I can test the combat power of the Supreme Dragon Transformation. Also, since my cultivation points and enlightenment have depleted, I can farm some more, hitting three birds with one stone."
Having made the decision, Su Yu immediately took action.
First, he informed his master, then opened the chores page of Profound Clarity Upper Sect and claimed several nearby tasks online before heading out.
He paused for a while when passing by the Immortal City of Profound Clarity, purchasing some information about the Wuding Ancient Country.
The Wuding Ancient Country was precisely Su Yu’s destination on this trip.
The information disclosed that the founding year of the Wuding Ancient Country was unknown, and its destruction occurred 630,000 years ago. It was once one of the top powers in the Cyan Immortal Domain.
The specifics of how it was destroyed remain unknown, as the records do not provide detailed information. It is only known that the Wuding Ancient Country was still in a peak state before its destruction, possessing a National Guardian Golden Immortal, dozens of Profound Immortals, and thousands of Celestial Immortals. At the time, unless all sects within the Cyan Immortal Domain acted simultaneously, it was impossible to defeat them.
However, the truth is that the various factions did not unite, nor was there any large-scale warfare; the massive ancient country suddenly disappeared overnight.
From the National Guardian Golden Immortal, dozens of Profound Immortals, to thousands of Celestial Immortals, all disappeared overnight, causing the massive ancient country to collapse instantly.
The greatest legacy of the ancient country, the Grotto Heaven of Wuding, was torn apart, with parts disappearing, some lost in the depths of the void, and fragments of various sizes scattered among the ruins of the ancient country’s capital.
This Grotto Heaven of Wuding was the greatest legacy of the Wuding Ancient Country, said to have been established by the country’s National Guardian Golden Immortal using an Innate Immortal Treasure. Its interior was vast and boundless, filled with abundant Spiritual Qi, containing the essence of the ancient country.
As the Grotto Heaven collapsed, the legacy inside also crumbled, scattering among these variously sized Grotto Heavens.
Over the tens of thousands of years, the legacy within the Grotto Heaven has long been plundered by later arrivals, but the Grotto Heaven itself holds extremely high value. Especially with the onset of a new era’s tribulation cycle and the datafication of the Heavenly Dao, the Grotto Heaven began to refresh various Spirit Monsters and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures under the influence of the Heavenly Dao.
Affected by the Wuding Ancient Country, it occasionally refreshes some top-tier Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and celestial herbs from the ancient country’s period, drawing later players to enter in search of fate.
According to the information, several of the celestial herbs needed by Su Yu’s master for Alchemy are produced in some fragments of the Grotto Heaven Ruins within the Wuding Ancient Country’s ruins.
These celestial herbs are valuable for both mission requirements and simple collection and sale. With good luck, encountering a large refresh can earn several thousand immortal coins in one go.
However, as they say, high returns come with high risks, a truth applicable everywhere. These secret realm fragments are now occupied by Spirit Monsters refreshed by the Heavenly Dao, with the lowest level being over level 150, and level 200+ Spirit Monsters everywhere. With terrible luck, one might even encounter experience monsters over level 300.
Yes, you heard it correctly, there are indeed experience monsters over level 300, comparable to immortals.
Immortal Mortals are entirely different entities; even experience monsters are on an immortal template, possessing abnormal attributes and state suppression, mastery of laws, and more, and can easily overwhelm anything below Celestial Immortal.
Worth mentioning is that experience monsters above Celestial Immortal have a significant difference from those below; they are no longer on a waste template, being at least on a terrifying template. Their intelligence is extremely high, capable of communication or even being tamed, just like the Five-Colored Divine Ox.
The Wuding Ancient Country is located in the central part of Cyan Immortal Domain, spanning the eastern section of the domain’s Cyan Mountain Range, above a stretch of Barbaric Mountains.
After leaving the Profound Clarity Upper Sect, Su Yu first turned to reach Qingchan’s location at Clear Void Temple.
He waited outside the mountain gate of Clear Void Temple at Clear Void Immortal City for an hour before seeing Qingchan arrive.
When the couple met, they naturally shared a moment of love and affection.
After the encounter that lasted until dusk, Su Yu held Qingchan’s hand and strolled through the Immortal City, chatting and admiring the local customs and culture.
"You should have acknowledged a teacher by now; would you like to join me for some training?"
Qingchan shook her head and said:
"I’m afraid I cannot."
"The three ancestors have already arranged for me to be accepted by a Female Immortal in our sect, and it’s only half a month before the master’s lecture. My kin told me the master’s lecture is important, and I cannot leave."
"Indeed."
Su Yu nodded and said:
"I attended a lecture by my master a week ago and had an epiphany once. You might consider buying some pills to enhance insight for this lecture and see if you also have an epiphany."
"I’ll give it a try."
"Study well, and after you finish the lecture, let’s go for training together."
Yet Qingchan shook her head again:
"The three ancestors warned me not to venture out rashly before consolidating the Golden Core, as without elder supervision, I will certainly be hunted by outsiders."
