Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 118 - 57: The Sea-Suppressing Pearl Transforms, Grotto Heaven Within
Thankfully, the array isolated the area, so Su Yu couldn’t ascend, and Celestial Cangtian couldn’t discover that someone was actually cultivating at the bottom where the earth veins converge.
One person and one flood dragon madly inhaled Spiritual Qi, refining five thousand Spiritual Qi experience with each breath.
In one minute, they could refine ten breaths, totaling 50,000 Spiritual Qi experience, and in one hour, 3 million.
Su Yu originally thought to keep inhaling Spiritual Qi without stopping so he wouldn’t lose out, but soon realized he overestimated himself. After inhaling for several hours, he became drunk on Spiritual Qi.
Simply put, his digestive capacity wasn’t enough; he refined too much liquefied Spiritual Qi in a short period and couldn’t digest it all at once.
Then he became lethargic, like he had no strength at all.
This was quite awkward.
Ao Run didn’t have such awkwardness; the dragon body was strong enough to allow her to almost infinitely inhale Spiritual Qi.
Seeing her being able to absorb so much, Su Yu felt very uncomfortable, like a poor brother suddenly seeing his friend driving a Land Rover.
"This place is too oppressive; let’s go back in a few days."
The response he got was a dragon tail slap to the face.
Su Yu reached up to cover his face, very unhappy.
After a while, he resumed inhaling Spiritual Qi, but after a dozen breaths, he couldn’t digest anymore, so he could only look around boringly, occasionally checking his attribute panel or summoning his Flying Sword to practice Swordsmanship.
Mana condensed into the Sword Gang, compressing with the same method of Condensing Sword into Silk, compressing the Taibai Sword Gang to one-inch wide.
With the Sword Gang compressed, the strength increased.
Additionally, the characteristics of Condensing Sword into Silk applied to the Sword Gang, now the Sword Gang received a +1 armor-piercing bonus, significantly increasing its lethality.
While practicing, Su Yu suddenly felt something and asked:
"Why does it feel a bit cold? Are you spraying the Meridian Cold Tide?"
Ao Run, wrapped around his waist, shook her little head:
"No."
"Then why...."
Su Yu glanced in a certain direction, suddenly shivering all over from fright.
An unknown moment saw a female figure appear on the surface of the Jade Pillar above his head, exactly the incomplete Innate Divine Maiden within the great array. Somehow, she appeared on the surface of the Jade Pillar, bound within it by a layer of rune chains unable to break free.
Su Yu was momentarily shocked, noticing she seemed not malicious, and tried to wave hi:
"Hello!"
The Divine Maiden also waved at him, a clean and gentle voice rang out:
"Can you help me escape?"
Su Yu was startled for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"I can’t get inside."
He then asked:
"Are you trapped in there?"
She nodded gently:
"Yes."
"I thought it was protecting you."
"I can sense he’s a bad person."
"Hmm... An extraordinary perception from innate beings!"
Su Yu scratched his head, a bit helplessly said:
"I also want to save you, but I can’t defeat him nor get inside, I can’t rescue you."
"I can come out."
"???
Su Yu asked curiously:
"If you can come out, why are you trapped inside?"
A gentle voice said:
"I have nowhere else to go, leaving here I will soon perish."
"Oh...."
Su Yu somewhat understood, meaning the great array couldn’t actually trap her, it mainly prevented others from entering.
"True, being an innate being after all, how could a Mortal Array casually trap her."
The reason she didn’t leave was that she was currently incomplete. Without the sufficient supply of earth vein Spiritual Qi outside, she would quickly perish.
So, a problem arises.
"How do I save you? I have no way to provide enough Spiritual Qi to sustain you."
A gentle voice said:
"You can."
"???
"You have an innate artifact, there’s the source of water within which I can stay."
A flash of intuition hit Su Yu, thinking of the Sea-Suppressing Pearl instantly.
With a gesture, dots of blue light gathered into the Sea-Suppressing Pearl, the Divine Maiden’s face immediately lit up with joy, ecstatically said:
"That’s it, I can stay inside it."
Su Yu held the Sea-Suppressing Pearl flipping and observing it, confused:
"My treasure doesn’t have an internal space, how do you...."
Before he finished speaking, he saw blue light shining on the Divine Maiden’s body, her perfect form shattered into skyfuls of blue streams of light passing through layers of rune chains, flying out, entering the Sea-Suppressing Pearl in his hand.
The Sea-Suppressing Pearl swallowed the blue light transformed from the innate water spirit and instantly burned with a blue flame. As the Sea-Suppressing Pearl’s master, Su Yu immediately sensed the treasure beginning to change.
However, before he could carefully examine the changes in the Sea-Suppressing Pearl, he felt the Jade Pillar begin to tremble violently.
"Not good, Celestial Cangtian has awakened."
He decisively took out the Great Transposition Talisman to activate, reversing his grip around Ao Run stuffing her into the Spiritual Cage.
The Great Transposition Talisman activated quickly, layers of Power of Space began to ripple.
"Oh damn, so slow."
The Teleportation Divine Talisman required fifteen seconds to activate, usually nothing, but at this life-and-death moment, it truly felt like years passing in seconds.
Thankfully, Celestial Cangtian didn’t know what happened yet, only aware that the Innate Divine Maiden suddenly vanished within the great array but didn’t know where she went, currently frantically operating the great array to search inch by inch.
The great array, Jade Pillar sealing, surging Spiritual Tide isolated, Power of Earth Vein Origin Magnet interfering, plus this hundreds of kilometers deep underground, the jade’s isolating effect was exceptionally strong, Celestial Cangtian hadn’t spotted the multiple-layer-separated Su Yu.
After the heart-pounding fifteen-second activation, accompanied by a burst of Power of Space that quickly contracted, he tore through space to leave the depths of the underground.
Transmission completed, a lightness underfoot, ears filled with the familiar noisy clamor of players.
He quickly surveyed his surroundings, finding himself in a town.
Rising into the air, he checked the area, realizing it was a river-adjacent town, noting the river’s immense width presumed it wasn’t Cangshui, most likely it was Yuanjiang. The Great Transposition Talisman transported him to a small town on the Yuanjiang riverbank.
"I need to escape quickly!"
Su Yu immediately used Sword Control to ascend, dragging a sword rainbow dozens of meters long as he rose from within the town, flying northward.
