Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 166 Application of Spatial Laws, Infiltrating the Blood Fiend Sect
More than an hour later, the wisp of smoke drifted to the underground of the Blood Fiend Sect and crashed directly into a light curtain that was deeply embedded in the ground.

The protective formations of any sect are comprehensive and without blind spots, including underground.

The idea of ​​using earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that allows one to burrow underground) into the sect was nothing but wishful thinking. Su Yu never even considered that; he simply continued to descend along the protective array barrier of the sect.

"Ok?"

When he was about three or four thousand meters deep, he suddenly sensed a figure lying in the mud not far from him.

"Come with us?"

It wasn't a demon in disguise, but a player who sneaked in using an earth-遁 (earth-遁) spell.

The man sensed Su Yu nearby, but instead of greeting him, he left silently.

Su Yu naturally wouldn't cause any unnecessary trouble, so she changed direction and continued diving downwards.

Perhaps he ran into a certain team, because he encountered several underground players in succession as he continued to dive.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to change direction and sneak to the right.

He rushed out for more than ten kilometers in one breath, and then continued to dive for several more kilometers. The protective array barrier began to shrink inward. At the same time, he could faintly sense the trajectory of the earth vein spiritual energy hidden in the earth, and followed the earth vein spiritual energy to dive deeper into the earth.

What Su Yu didn't know was that several kilometers away from her, there was an underground passage with a diameter of more than ten meters. At the end of the passage, hundreds of people had gathered, and many of them were using magic to dig out large chunks of soil and store them in their storage space.

A figure emerged from the top of the passage and landed, quickly arriving before the leader who was supervising the work, and reported:
"Boss, I just sensed someone burrowing underground."

The leader turned around and asked:

"do you know it?"

"I don't recognize it."

"Where did he go?"

"After he spotted me, he changed direction and walked away."

The leader pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said:
"It should be a rogue cultivator who has mastered the art of shrinking the earth. Since he hasn't come over and is not affecting our formation, we don't need to worry about him. Just keep an eye on our surroundings, and if we see him getting close, we'll gather our forces to drive him away."

"Row."

On the other side, Su Yu traveled more than 20 kilometers along the edge of the sect's protective array barrier in one breath, and could already sense that he had entered a sea of ​​spiritual energy.

They had clearly reached the place where the Blood Fiend Sect's underground spiritual veins converged, and were almost at the center of the Blood Fiend Sect's headquarters.

Su Yu stopped here.

"We can't go any further."

This protective formation is similar to the one used by the Hidden Heavenly Master to imprison Canghai underground. There must be weak points where the earth's veins converge, making it possible to force one through. However, this is the formation's only flaw; there will definitely be personnel and deadly moves left here.

Other bosses are fine, but if you're unlucky enough to run into that Earth Immortal Elder from the Blood Fiend Sect guarding the place, you're doomed.

Even a terrestrial immortal, with all the restrictions in place, cannot escape, even if they transform into a dragon.

Su Yu's gaze fell on the barrier, and she reached out and pressed it hard, but it didn't budge.

It was a bit too hot to touch, and I could feel it trembling violently. Looking at the array's total defensive power of 9 million, it was now fluctuating wildly at around 8 million.

One side is frantically attacking the protective array barrier, while the other side is frantically injecting mana to replenish the array's defenses.

"It's crazy."

He shook his head, and without hesitation summoned the Azure罡 Sword, unleashing a powerful divine ability with a thought:
"Split the sky!"

As the laws of space spread out, a black thread appeared in the space as the sword tip moved slightly, lingering for a long time.

As her gaze fell upon the black threads, a sudden flash of inspiration struck Su Yu, granting her a profound understanding of spatial laws and this powerful divine technique.

The Sky Rift is not a simple move, but a manifestation of the laws of space, and can be used in many ways.

such as
He took a deep breath, burning a full 100,000 units of magical power, and the slightly twisted Azure Qi Sword slowly pierced towards the barrier. The sword silently penetrated the sect-protecting array barrier with a defensive power of up to 900 million.

"Sure enough!"

Su Yu's face lit up with joy; the insight she had just gained was indeed genuine.

The essence of this great divine power is not just violently breaking through space, but also instantly killing the BOSS by slicing it in two with a single sword strike, just like before.

It can also use the power of laws to tear open space.

As he had just pierced into the sect's protective barrier with his sword, the Azure Gang Sword did not touch the protective array barrier itself. Instead, it tore open space, causing it to distort. The protective array barrier, which relied on the space, was not destroyed; only the space itself changed.

This is a multi-layered application of the laws of space. As he continues to use this technique, he will gradually comprehend more applications of the laws of space until he fully masters them.

"This is the greatest use of the Sky-Splitting Immortal Bone!"

Su Yu smiled slightly, focusing her attention on what was in front of her.

The rift could only last for ten seconds. Su Yu quickly moved the sword tip, creating a narrow slit two meters high. He pushed the sword tip left and right, creating a gap about one foot wide. Then he sheathed the sword, transformed into a celestial ghost, and a wisp of smoke drifted into the rift.

The crack lasted for ten seconds before rapidly shrinking and disappearing. The protective array barrier, which had just been torn open, was now completely restored without a single crack.

"Perfect!"

In this way, no one knew that he had silently infiltrated the Blood Fiend Sect's protective formation.

After a brief pause, the wisp of smoke drifted upwards. Without a destination, it wandered aimlessly.

After diving several kilometers in this direction without finding anything, I changed direction and continued diving. I found nothing in this direction, so I changed direction again and kept wandering around underground.

It wasn't that they were afraid to go to the ground, but that they were looking for something.

Generally, sects store their supplies underground, and he wanted to see if he could find it.

What's on the ground?

The ground is full of people, and bosses are everywhere. If he goes up there, he'll be easily discovered. It's much better to stay underground and make a fortune.

Unfortunately, there were no landmarks underground. Otherwise, we could have used the Blood Fiend Sect map we bought earlier to locate the warehouse and the sect's important location.

There was no other way but to drift back and forth like this.

Seeing that there would be no immediate results, Su Yu instinctively used Earth Escape Technique while simultaneously opening the local regional channel and connecting to the Blood Fiend Sect's regional channel.

This is not the Blood Fiend Sect's official channel; it's just a regional channel for this area. Blood Fiend Sect players can access it, as can guilds and alliances besieging the Blood Fiend Sect. Even casual players like him can join.

"Blood God Guild Alliance Announcement: Recruiting people to attack the Blood Fiend Sect's mountain gate. Regardless of cultivation level or strength, you can sign up. One tael of gold per day, all pills included."

This announcement is pinned to the top, showing that the guild alliance is very wealthy.

However, the second pinned post below also demonstrates the strength of the Blood Fiend Sect.

"Wang Wusha, the true disciple of the Blood Fiend Sect: In the name of the sect leader, I promise that any free agent recruited by the Blood God Alliance who holds back in battle, is under 60 years old, has a natural attribute of 20 or more, and is active in Longtu City and the surrounding area year-round, can be admitted to the sect by providing a screenshot of their log. Those who are not selected will receive 10 taels of gold as compensation."

"Wow, they've really gone all out."

After comparing the two, Su Yu found that the Blood Fiend Sect was more tempting.

After all, one side demands you fight desperately, while the other side only asks you to put down your arms, which is almost effortless.

After receiving their wages from the Blood God Society, they can then go back to the Blood Fiend Sect to collect another round of compensation. They're really getting a great deal out of this.

If he didn't have more important work to do, he would definitely be willing to take advantage of the situation.

"Boom!"

The impact of his head against a hard object startled Su Yu awake. Upon waking, he was pleasantly surprised to find a thick stone wall in front of him, covered by a transparent light screen. The wisps of smoke that the Heavenly Demon had transformed into seemed to materialize as they struck the light screen.

"Where is this place?"

He circled the barrier once, quickly sketching out a square space in his mind. At the same time, he sensed a thick spiritual energy channel underground connecting the bottom of this square stone chamber, with a continuous stream of spiritual energy flowing into the chamber along the channel.

"Is this a secret meditation chamber?"

Su Yu dug a space underground, and the Heavenly Ghost transformed into its true form. It reached out and pressed its hand on the barrier to check that the barrier only had ten million units of defensive power. Su Yu then made up its mind.

Let's go for it!

This thing's defensive capabilities are clearly not integrated with the sect's protective formation. If we launch an attack underground, the sect's protective formation will not be affected.

In addition, during a period of seclusion and spiritual practice, one usually enters a deep state of meditation and will not wake up from minor disturbances.

Without hesitation, he drew his two swords, Qinggang and Zilei, and swung them at the barrier.

The twin swords spun rapidly, quickly weakening the barrier's defensive power. Su Yu listened intently, ready to flee at the slightest sound.

A fierce attack shattered the barrier's defenses by millions of units, yet there was no response from within.

It's unclear whether the cultivators inside have entered a deep meditative state or if there's simply no one there at all.

After condensing the Sky-Splitting Immortal Bone, his physical attacks could ignore most defenses. With a series of fierce attacks, he forcefully broke through the defensive barrier in less than a minute, and even cut a large hole in the stone wall.

Reaching out, he sucked out the stone slab, revealing a circular hole. Inside the hole was a secluded stone chamber, in the center of which sat an old man with an extremely aged and withered face.

Blood Shadow Elder Zhang Shiqi: Level 156, Elder of the Blood Fiend Sect, aging, nearing the end of his lifespan, in seclusion.

Spells: Blood Fiend Great Spell (Mysterious), Bone Dissolving Great Spell, Blood Transforming Flying Great Spell, Blood Light Protecting God Great Spell, Mysterious Yin Ghost-Subduing Spell.

Magical artifacts: Blood Shadow Divine Blade (Tier 7), Blood Shadow Divine Mist (Tier 7)

"Won the jackpot!"

It turned out to be an old man who was about to die and was in seclusion, and he was also a player.

Su Yu immediately urged his Purple and Green Twin Swords to charge forward, the two sword lights circling his neck and twisting back and forth.

Caught completely off guard, and with attacks aimed at the neck—a vital area to cut—almost every strike was a critical hit. Before the second round of the swords had even passed, an old man's head was severed.

Light rose from the corpse and coalesced into six pieces of spoils that floated over.

Su Yu reached out and retrieved the spoils, eagerly examining them.

Blood Shadow Divine Blade (Seventh Rank), Blood Shadow Wristband (Sixth Rank), 7 Blood Fiend Pills, Blood Transformation Flying Technique, 1 Thousand-Year Blood Ginseng, 32 Blood Essence Stones, and 25 Merit Points.

"Wow, the drop rate is that high?"

He died only once and immediately obtained a seventh-tier magic weapon.

Moreover, this guy's merit points must be very low, yet killing him only gave 25 merit points.
