Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 163 Destroying Mountains and Temples, Preparing to Condense Immortal Bones

"Wow, this city is pretty awesome."

The ship was loaded with zombies, and large groups of vengeful ghosts followed behind the ghost banners, like a long river.

Players use a wide variety of magical items, most of which are various magical treasures.

The unorthodox methods of corpse refining, ghost refining, and Gu refining, which are rarely seen elsewhere, are rampant here and are the mainstream. Su Yu, a disciple of the righteous path, seems extremely out of place here.

Fortunately, although he seemed somewhat out of place and people would occasionally look at him curiously, no one in the city dared to provoke him.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. After entering the city, Su Yu randomly found an inn to stay at. When he came out at night, he had returned to his original appearance, but his appearance had changed drastically.

The appearance of his golden feather robe has changed slightly, with the golden material becoming dark gold. The overall color and tone of his other equipment have also been darkened, instantly transforming him from a sunny and cheerful handsome guy into a gloomy one.

The reason for restoring it to its original state is that the Mirage Dragon Pearl can deceive ordinary rogue immortals, but it is highly unlikely to deceive the true disciples of the Blood Demon Palace who have cultivated supreme mental techniques. Once he discovers that someone is hiding their true face and sneaking around nearby, he will definitely be on guard, and it will not be easy to make a move then.

Restoring it to its original state won't have any impact; nobody here recognizes him.

It was getting late, and many lights in the city had already been turned on.

Su Yu strolled through the South Street Square of Longtu City with her hands behind her back, curiously observing the goods on the many player stalls in the square.

Ironclad Corpse (Elite): Level 50, a zombie forged in an extremely yin place, with skin as hard as refined iron, priced at 10 gold per head, ten times more expensive than the Golden-Winged Flying Centipede, which is also of the rarer level.

The Golden-Winged Flying Centipede, which cost one gold and fifty silver coins at the Thousand Feathers Guild, is only one gold coin here.

Blood-bearded mosquitoes, flying centipedes, crimson flame flying snakes, ink ball bees, flying gu, flying golden centipedes, golden silkworm gu, and other gu insects are sold by the dozen here. Su Yu had never been to the Wan Du Island market and did not know the level of the gu insects there, but the gu insects here, in terms of both variety and quantity, far exceeded those in other places.

A giant Gu bag can hold millions of various Gu worms. As long as you have money, you can easily gather millions of Gu worms. Once the battle begins, the Gu clouds will cover the sky and create a terrifying spectacle.

But what's scary is that it's actually a paper tiger; a single blast with its magic weapon can wipe out a large number of them.

In Longtu City, unorthodox methods are the mainstream.

The most common schools of thought here are Gu Dao, Shi Dao, and Gui Dao, followed by Magic Dao and Flying Sword Dao.

The first three types are mainly independent practitioners, so they are the most numerous, but their levels vary greatly.

Magic-based and flying sword-based martial arts are the main specializations of disciples in most sects. They are relatively few in number, but their strength is formidable.

Even the demons refined by magic are far superior to those of the Gu Dao, Corpse Dao, and Ghost Dao.

As Su Yu strolled along, she discovered several powerful merchant guilds selling demonic creatures.

Commonly seen are the White Bone Yakshas, ​​starting with a level 50 elite template, costing ten gold each.

The stronger ones include the White Bone Demon God and the Five Evil Gods and Demons, starting at level 70.

Even stronger are the Vajra Demon God with Form, the Six Yang Demon Head, the Thirteen Yin and Yang Demon Gods, the Nine-Child Mother Yin Demon, and the infamous Blood God Child of the Blood Demon Palace.

These demons are far fewer in number than the White Bone Yaksha, but they are much stronger. Not only are their levels high, but their templates are also high, mostly terrifying templates, each worth tens or even hundreds of gold.

At first glance, the flea market was a chaotic mix of yin energy, death energy, ghost energy, demon energy, and blood energy, a veritable dance of demons.

Su Yu wandered around out of curiosity, but did nothing; he couldn't use anything here.

He hadn't considered buying anything to disguise his identity; that was unnecessary. He also hadn't considered actually disguising himself to infiltrate the Blood God Gang—that would be too troublesome. He had a better way:
With 500 taels of gold, Su Yu found a local intelligence merchant and obtained all the detailed information about the Blood Demon Palace, the Blood God Society, and Sikong Xiang.

The intelligence was extremely detailed, even recording Sikong Xiang's cultivation level, what magical treasures and equipment he possessed, and his past experiences.

Su Yu returned to her residence and spent almost two days reviewing all the documents. Then she couldn't help but sigh and express her feelings.

"As expected of a true disciple, he levels up so quickly!"

The information on Sikong Xiang is more detailed than what the sect had previously collected. The sect's information is updated once a year, so it is already outdated. Sikong Xiang is now level 140, and his magical treasures haven't changed much; they are still the same few items.

After establishing a foundation and advancing to the Loose Immortal realm, the leveling speed will slow down drastically. Without sufficient resources, it is normal to level up once a year.

If you don't work hard enough, you won't be able to advance even one level per year.

The main reason why Sikong Xiang was able to level up so quickly, advancing four levels in a year, was that he had a celestial abode to support him.

This can be considered Sikong Xiang's legendary experience. According to the records, Sikong Xiang's talent was not very strong at first, only slightly stronger than Su Yu's. At the beginning, he was just one of the unknown ordinary disciples of the Blood Demon Hall.

However, he was very fortunate, and by chance, he discovered an ancient immortal abode left behind by a demonic cultivator at the bottom of the Nulong River.

The immortal abode contained numerous treasures that transformed him, causing his talent to surge. Furthermore, the abode's many treasures, including a ninth-tier demonic artifact, greatly increased his strength. Based on this, he distinguished himself within the sect, successfully obtaining the supreme Blood Demon Scripture inheritance from the Blood Demon Palace, and successfully transcended his tribulation with the help of the ninth-tier demonic artifact.

He grew stronger and stronger like a snowball, and soon after his tribulation, he successfully advanced to the level of a true disciple.

He has already reached level 140 in less than 20 years of cultivation, which is terrifyingly fast among loose immortals, and he is definitely a terrestrial immortal.

Whether one can overcome the tribulation of becoming an Earth Immortal is hard to say, but there are basically no bottlenecks before becoming an Earth Immortal; at the very least, one will be a high-ranking scattered demon.

With such strength and potential, he quickly rose to a high position after joining the Blood God Society, becoming the fourth president of the Blood God Society and creating the main force of the Fourth Regiment.

With the support of the Immortal Abode, he quickly cultivated a group of experts. Within the entire Fourth Regiment, there were more than ten Loose Immortal level experts who had survived the Heavenly Tribulation, and their overall strength had caught up with other main regiments.

“It’s really strong!”

"I have absolutely no chance in a head-on confrontation."

Su Yu knew that even if she transformed into a true dragon, she couldn't kill Sikong Xiang head-on. The few minutes she had to transform into a dragon were absolutely not enough to kill a Blood Demon Palace disciple who possessed supreme-level magic and a ninth-tier magic weapon.

The only option is to launch a sneak attack.

And a sneak attack.
Su Yu's lips curled slightly as she looked at the documents. On the front page, it was clearly written that the Blood God Society was currently working on a major project with several allied guilds, which might present an opportunity.

The document contains the detailed reasons for this major event. In short, a demonic sect called Blood Fiend Sect, which was originally a subordinate sect of the Blood Demon Palace, suddenly switched sides and joined the Yin Yang Demon Sect, another major sect on Blue Mountain Island. This angered the higher-ups of the Blood Demon Palace, who ordered that Blood Fiend Sect be punished.

The order was issued, and after much back and forth, it turned into a large-scale guild mission for the Blood God Guild. The guild gathered more than 500,000 players from allied guilds to besiege the Blood Fiend Sect, intending to capture its mountain gate.

According to the unspoken rules of the Demonic Sect, such a change of allegiance would be punished by the former sect.

With the protection of the Yin-Yang Demon Sect, the Blood Demon Palace's own Earth Immortals and above could not take action themselves, and could only send their disciples to take action in the form of missions.

Moreover, there is a time limit. As long as the Blood Fiend Sect survives for a year, it will receive the complete protection of the Yin Yang Demon Sect, and will not be able to besiege the sect except in sect wars.

When Su Yu arrived, the Blood God Guild Alliance had been besieging the Blood Fiend Sect for more than half a year, mobilizing nearly 500,000 guild members to besiege the Blood Fiend Sect's mountain gate. More than 130 scattered demons who had survived the Heavenly Tribulation had gathered. The two sides were fighting fiercely, but they had been unable to break through the Blood Fiend Sect's protective formation.

Because the Blood Fiend Sect is also quite strong, it has a Supreme Elder at the Earth Immortal level, hundreds of Loose Immortals who have survived their first Great Heavenly Tribulation, and seven or eight top experts with levels exceeding 180. With the sect's protective formation and the resources stored up by the sect in advance, no matter how much they try to wear them down, they will find it difficult to break through the sect's protective formation.

But Su Yu saw an opportunity here.

It wasn't aimed at the Blood Fiend Sect, but at Situ Xiang.

The guild alliance has limited time; more than half of the year has already passed, which means they must conquer the Blood Fiend Sect within the remaining months.

Based on Su Yu's understanding, if a mission like this fails, the person who takes it will definitely disappoint the sect's higher-ups. A drop in status is a minor matter; the key is losing trust and the right to inherit.

True disciples are the reserve of the sect's high-ranking members. When the previous generation retires or passes away prematurely, the successor is always selected from among the true disciples.

But with so many true disciples, the order in which they should go is very important, and it depends on whether anyone supports it.

If you can complete the tasks assigned by the sect's higher-ups and make them proud, they will think of you next time they have an opportunity.

If you fail to complete the mission and bring shame upon your sect, don't even think about having any good opportunities next time.

Having already become a true disciple, the next step is to pursue even greater strength and status. For this reason, Sikong Xiang is determined to complete the mission.

If they still can't capture the city by the time the year is almost up, they'll have to fight desperately, and the situation will definitely become chaotic. That's when his opportunity will come.

Time is in my hands.

Su Yu rubbed her chin, already having an idea in mind.

He stayed in Longtu City for only one day, and left the city the next day, heading north along the Nulong River.

After flying for over a million kilometers in one go, they saw a tributary. Following the tributary upwards for over 500,000 kilometers, they saw a huge inverted bowl of light appear among the mountains ahead. Inside the bowl was a sect, with pavilions and terraces. Countless black lights and demonic flames rose and converged into pillars that shot into the sky, forming a boiling demonic cloud covering hundreds of kilometers on the dome. A huge demonic shadow could be faintly seen roaring inside.

Beneath the demonic clouds, countless figures stood in the air, constantly unleashing magical weapons to clash with the enemies outside the light barrier.

Outside the light screen stood hundreds of mighty Vajra demon gods, each over 100 feet tall and of level 150 or higher, constantly waving their thick demonic arms to unleash jets of black energy thousands of meters long that slammed into the light screen, creating faint ripples.

Outside the sect, countless players were frantically exchanging blows with those inside.

Outside the city, there are rows of newly built Divine Thunder Towers.

Not far away, in the vast waters, were moored a series of venomous dragon warships, their Thunderfire Towers firing continuously.
