Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 309 - 219: The Pact with Four Beauties
This is a method of retrospection, which can capture the aura and past of people to look back at the events that happened in this area before.
For example, if there was a murder or battle in a place, as long as the residual aura remains, this method can be used to trace back the past, find the culprit and learn the specific process, which is very magical.
Without hesitation, he consumed 15.1 billion cultivation points and 10,800 paths to enhance the Profound Court Manual to the ninetieth level.
Profound Court Manual Level Ninety: Qi and Blood +36000, Mana +72000, Magic Power +36000, Mana Recovery +90 points/second, and evolves a new Dao Method [Primordial Qi of Ten Thousand Transformations Divine Thunder Net]
Primordial Qi of Ten Thousand Transformations Divine Thunder Net: Sect-Level Thunder Skill, condenses tens of thousands of Divine Thunder into a net with mana, power is apocalyptic. Each layer of Dao Method condenses 2 pieces of Primordial Qi of Ten Thousand Transformations Divine Thunder, casting range 20 kilometers, mana consumption 30,000, cooldown time 30 minutes.
This is an advanced version of the Primordial Qi of Ten Thousand Transformations Divine Thunder, capable of simultaneously condensing hundreds of Divine Thunders to form a thunder net, with specific power depending on the level and execution of the Ten Thousand Transformations Divine Thunder.
If the Divine Thunder is concentrated, like condensing hundreds of Ten Thousand Transformations Divine Thunders into one, the power is naturally strong.
If the Divine Thunder is scattered, the power is the same as Ten Thousand Transformations Divine Thunder, but the blasting range is wide.
Qi Refining Heart Skill has been consecutively enhanced twenty levels, costing a total of 23.725 billion cultivation points and 17,550 paths, leaving 18.5 billion cultivation points and 6,920 paths.
The remaining cultivation points are enough to enhance the Destiny Reincarnation Sword Scripture by ten more levels, but the paths are insufficient.
"Still lacking paths."
Su Yu estimated that to further enhance the Qi Refining Heart Skill and Sword Formulas, as well as to condense his immortal body, he would need about another 150,000 paths. And if other Forbidden Skills, Escape Skills, Thunder Skills, and so on are to be enhanced as well, at least 200,000 paths should be prepared.
"Tsk tsk!"
But as they say, you get what you pay for. The greater the consumption, the stronger the power, and the more accumulation.
Closing the panel, Su Yu pondered for a moment, then took out the Eight Beauties Reunion Painting, spitting out a true flame to begin refining the magic treasure.
As the true flame penetrated the treasure, he gradually sensed the Grotto Heaven within the treasure and the four souls attached to it. He also learned the secret of this treasure and the specific situation of the four beauties.
As he had previously speculated, the true spirits of these four beauties had already been refined into the treasure.
But unexpectedly, the true spirits of these four beauties had already integrated into the treasure, both becoming one; the treasure existing means they exist, and if the treasure is destroyed, they perish. They cannot be separated.
At least with Su Yu’s current capability and insight, he could not think of a way to safely separate their True Spirits from the treasure.
He spent half an hour fully refining the Eight Beauties Reunion Painting, stretched out his hand to summon the painting back into a scroll, and with a shake of his hand, it unfolded and suspended in midair, with spiritual light faintly flickering on the painting.
Su Yu thought for a moment before putting the painting away, opening the light gate, and entering the Sea Suppressing Realm, summoning Ao Run, instructing him:
"Guard the door for me."
Then he reopened the painting, suspended it in the air, and leapt into it, transforming into a stream of light and entering the painting. The painting immediately displayed the silhouette of a man.
The scene inside the painting was exactly the same as the outside scene, with Su Yu appearing directly inside the main palace on the central peak. As he walked out of the palace, he saw rays of different colored Escape Lights—cyan, white, red, and blue—flying from different directions of the Grotto Heaven toward him, revealing four beauties with differing styles, each not inferior in beauty to Chu Xinyue.
The four women looked up, each one confused, and a woman in a white dress asked,
"Who are you? Where is Lv Sheng?"
Su Yu replied,
"He is dead."
"How did he die?"
"Of course, I killed him."
The women’s eyes sharpened, closely scrutinizing him. At this moment, the woman in the cyan dress asked,
"Which sect are you from?"
"Xuanzhen Immortal Sect!"
At this moment, the woman in the red dress expressed joy on her face and quickly asked,
"Which lineage of Xuanzhen Immortal Sect do you belong to? Under whom?"
Su Yu cupped his fists in respect to the woman in the red dress and said solemnly,
"Su Yu pays respects to Senior Sister, I am under the line of Xuankong Mountain, disciple of Fengyunzi and Jin Yinian."
The woman in the red dress returned the greeting,
"Cui Yunxian of the Jade Flower Lineage, disciple of Jade Flower Fairy."
"I see it is Senior Sister Cui. May I ask why Senior Sister is trapped here?"
Cui Yunxian’s face immediately showed anger as she coldly said,
"Twenty years ago, a demon from overseas attacked and destroyed our bodies, refining our Primordial Spirits into this treasure, intending to use the Eight Beauties as a furnace to refine a great demonic spell, but fortunately, the treasure was incomplete, and he died, this treasure then fell into others’ hands."
"After many transitions, the treasure fell into the hands of Lv Sheng, a core disciple of the Yin Yang Demon Sect. He wanted us to submit by threatening our lives, but he did not succeed before he perished, until you, Junior Brother, arrived."
She lifted her beautiful eyes to look at Su Yu, not shying away from asking,
"Now that this treasure is in your hands, our lives are controlled by you, Junior Brother, how do you plan to deal with this treasure?"
The other three beauties also looked at Su Yu, and although their expressions seemed calm, he could clearly feel a certain anticipation in their hearts.
Su Yu did not answer but instead questioned,
"When I refined this treasure, I found your True Spirits were already refined into it. Do you have any way to separate and free yourself?"
The several women exchanged glances and all shook their heads with wry smiles,
"There is no way, not even an Immortal can separate our True Spirits from the treasure."
Su Yu shrugged and said,
"If not even an Immortal can do it, how could I be expected to?"
Pausing for a moment, he continued to ask,
"What do the sisters wish for me to do? Send you back to the sect, or should I abandon this treasure for you? Or should I assist you in reincarnation and rebirth?"
"Firstly, I must say, sending you back to the sect is possible, and helping with reincarnation is also possible, but abandoning this treasure is out of the question as it is a Grotto Heaven treasure, which I also need."
Though he already possessed the Sea-Suppressing Pearl, who would object to having an extra Grotto Heaven treasure? 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
Whether for personal use, or using a Secret Skill to integrate the internal space of the painting into the Sea-Suppressing Pearl, or allowing the Sea-Suppressing Pearl to devour treasures of space—all were achievable.
The women exchanged glances, indicating for their fellow sect member Cui Yunxian to continue:
"Our current situation is irreversible. The reincarnation through corpse dissolution cannot unravel the mysteries within the womb. It is unknown which life we can re-enter the path of cultivation, and we have already established a top-grade Dao Foundation, with prospects of becoming Earth Immortals. To reincarnate now would be disheartening."
Upon saying this, she lightly bit her red lips, a blush appearing on her exquisite face:
"We four sisters have long discussed and wish to find a master with outstanding talent to cultivate alongside us."
"If the treasure owner can meet our requirements, we four sisters are willing to devote ourselves to him and cultivate the great Dao together."
Seeing the shy demeanor of the four beauties and their request, Su Yu’s heart stirred, and he asked:
"What are the requirements of the esteemed sisters?"
"A Dao Foundation of second-layer level or above."
He blurted out:
"That simple?"
The women were stunned, looking him up and down, and said:
"You are the treasure owner, we cannot perceive your situation, but you should not underestimate a second-layer Dao Foundation, this is the standard for true disciples of major sects."
Su Yu mildly smiled:
"If it is just a second-layer Dao Foundation, I have absolutely no issue."
The women nodded and said:
"It is best with your confidence, and we sisters hope you succeed. Comparatively, we prefer to devote ourselves to disciples of righteous sects and hope you establish your Dao Foundation soon."
Su Yu laughed:
"You need not wait long, at most three years, and I can establish my Dao Foundation. By then, perhaps I can give you a surprise."
"We’ll watch and see!"
A stream of light emerged from the Eight Beauties Reunion Painting, transforming into Su Yu’s figure, who reached out to collect the painting, a smile on his lips.
It wasn’t the joy of acquiring four beauties, as he was not a lecherous person. Primarily, he was a person full of righteousness and always happy to help others. This time, aiding these few vulnerable women gave him a substantial sense of achievement.
Of course, there weren’t other options, couldn’t just throw them away, could he? That would be too wasteful.
The few women were all quite gifted, even the weakest had a third-layer Dao Foundation, and the strongest had a first-grade Dao Foundation. Although trapped within the treasure, their cultivation was unaffected, with proper nurturing, each had the potential to achieve Earth Immortality.
Upon exiting the room, Wan Yu was discussing something with Chi Jianxin and Yuanjue Monk, and upon seeing him immediately gestured:
"Mr. Su, you arrived just in time, we’ve already started preparing to activate the Immortal Mansion, get ready."
He laughed:
"I can do so anytime."
"Good."
Wan Yu ascended to the sky, took out a Sword Talisman, threw it, and sprayed a mouthful of essence onto the Talisman, which rapidly radiated spiritual light and transformed into a stream of light plunging into the sea and vanished.
Three minutes later, a heavy muffled sound echoed from the sea, followed by the dark sea water bulging and surging in all directions.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
It was as if a water mountain was erupting beneath the sea, with an unending booming sound.
A few minutes later, a dazzling pillar of spiritual qi suddenly broke through the sea water, soaring into the clouds, causing the surrounding cloud qi to converge into a vortex.
The sea within a radius of several hundred kilometers started boiling, strands of rosy glow penetrated the seawater and surfaced, the dark seawater gradually brightening as if some colossal creature was emerging from the depths.
"Roar!"
In the sky, the crowd saw a massive shadow sliding past under the sea, and the next second, the sea exploded, a blue horned dragon nearly ten kilometers long burst from the water with a mighty roar, waves of terrifying pressure surged in all directions.
The earth-shaking dragon’s roar echoed, the horned dragon turned its head towards Wan Yu and asked in a deep voice:
"Are you the one who started the opening of Panhu Immortal Mansion?"
Wan Yu cupped his fist in salute and loudly replied:
"I obtained the Panhu Sword Command and opened the Immortal Mansion."
The horned dragon spoke again:
"The Sword Command is incomplete, you cannot enter the Immortal Mansion!"
Wan Yu continued:
"The other half of the Sword Command has been lost, I wish to forcibly break into the Immortal Mansion and take over."
The horned dragon bared its dragon teeth, filled with killing intent:
"My duty is here, to enter the Immortal Mansion, you must first pass my test."
Wan Yu bowed:
"Apologies in advance!"
Three warships rapidly raised shields over the sea, the spiritual light from tens of thousands of players’ bodies gradually brightened and connected into a whole.
Wan Yu turned to Su Yu, shouting loudly:
"Mr. Su!"
Su Yu gestured an okay sign, ascended, and charged towards the horned dragon. Midway, his body suddenly radiated red light, quickly swelling, and within seconds transformed into a crimson dragon over ten kilometers long winding in the sky.
The fearsome dragon might jolted the horned dragon into a fighting stance, its loud voice reverberating through heaven and earth:
"Where do you come from? Why do you assist the cultivators of the Human Race?"
The crimson dragon raised its head, its whiskers swaying, weaving stardust, its voice like thunder:
"I was born here, traveling with the Human Race, is that so remarkable?"
