Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 201 Enhances Sword Techniques, Generates Ultimate Move: Sword of Time - Overdrafting the Future
Big places are great; as long as you have money, you can buy any kind of information.

Su Yu spent 500 merit points to buy the information she wanted.

He was completely dumbfounded at first glance.

"To establish a foundation for immortality, one must possess an unparalleled Qi Refining Technique!"

"No way?"

Su Yu was stunned; this one result eliminated him completely.

He scratched his head and patiently spent more than ten minutes reading through all the information, and then he had a fairly good understanding of the situation of this immortal foundation.

There are no changes after that. The supreme-level Qi refining technique is a hard requirement. Without it, it is absolutely impossible to establish an immortal foundation. No matter how many thousands of years of human history, other player civilization records, or the records of local sects on the other side, there is no record of anyone establishing an immortal foundation with a sect-level Qi refining technique. There is not a single one.

In addition to these, there are two other strict requirements; you cannot fail if either one is missing.

One is age; they cannot be over 100 years old.

That's not a problem. If you're fast, you can pass the tribulation in 10 years, and 100 years old is definitely enough.

The third mandatory condition is that one must undergo the strongest heavenly tribulation.

There are actually many types of the first Great Heavenly Tribulation, which can be roughly divided into three levels according to difficulty. If you want to establish your immortal foundation, you must undergo the strongest level.

Theoretically, the Heavenly Tribulation is random, but if your strength meets the requirements for establishing an immortal foundation, it will definitely be the strongest level of Heavenly Tribulation. If you pass it, you may be able to establish an immortal foundation; if you fail, then you are doomed.

As the strongest heavenly tribulation, the death penalty is also the strongest. Once one fails to overcome it and perishes under the heavenly tribulation, it takes 300 years of lifespan to rebuild the physical body.

Those who haven't established a Dao foundation have a lifespan limit of 300 years, and the death penalty is 300 years. This means that without a powerful bloodline to increase their lifespan limit, they'll be instantly killed.

The above are just the hard requirements; whether one can actually build a foundation for immortality depends on their individual strength and accumulated experience.

For example, Su Yu has already made up for his innate attributes with five immortal bones, so it's definitely enough now.

His acquired attributes, including the Supreme Dragon Bone and numerous rare and precious materials, make his physical strength, blood energy, and magical power far surpass those of ordinary people.

Then there are the various cultivation methods. This seems to have little impact. There is no conclusive evidence to confirm that the grade of cultivation methods such as thunder magic, forbidden magic, and supernatural powers will affect whether one can establish a foundation for immortality. However, all those who establish a foundation for immortality cultivate very powerful cultivation methods, so we will probably include them in this category.

Then there are innate talents, bloodlines, special physiques and spiritual roots, etc., all of which will affect whether one has enough potential to establish a foundation for immortality.

In general, the more and stronger these things are, the better.

Su Yu was also lucky. The nameless Daoist book actually revealed the Nine Heavens Bone Forging Technique, and with the double talent bonus, his accumulated knowledge allowed him to catch up with those super geniuses.

Once the five immortal bones are combined to form the Nine Heavens Battle Immortal Body, its potential is estimated to reach the standard for establishing an immortal foundation.

The only flaw is that it lacks supreme Taoist principles.

"It seems we still need to find a way to get the other half of the Xuan Ting Treasure Manual."

"Of course, you can also switch to a supreme-level Qi refining technique."

However, the Xuan Ting Treasure Manual is a sect's inherited cultivation method, so it's best not to change it unless absolutely necessary.

Su Yu pinched her chin and pondered for a long time before letting out a soft breath.

"Let's think of a solution first. If all else fails, then we can consider a replacement."

Although it would disappoint my grandmaster, I wouldn't care so much if I had the chance to establish my immortal foundation.

After all, the foundation of immortality is not only related to whether one can become an immortal, but also to what happens after becoming an immortal.

Even without seeing the data, anyone with a brain would know that the potential of a Celestial Foundation cultivator after achieving immortality is definitely stronger than that of a High-Grade Dao Foundation cultivator.

After closing the data, Su Yu glanced at the remaining 113.8 billion spiritual energy experience and killing experience in the experience pool, as well as 12220 points of cultivation, before focusing her gaze on the various laws on the panel.

"The immortal bones have been fully formed; the next step is the Dao techniques."

"The Qi Refining Technique at level seventy is enough for now. Let's improve the sword technique first."

In fact, it is enough for his needs. The main problem is that the cultivation method will trigger a heavenly tribulation when it reaches the hundredth level. He considered that some unexpected opportunities might directly improve his cultivation method. If he did not reserve enough levels, he would be doomed if he raised it to the hundredth level all at once.

"Destiny Cycle Sword Technique, upgraded!"

With a thought, the massive amount of spiritual energy, experience, and cultivation accumulated in the experience pool flowed into the sword technique like water, propelling the technique to improve layer by layer.

With 124.5 million spiritual energy experience points and 450 points of cultivation, I have advanced to level 51.

With 129 million spiritual energy experience points and 450 points of cultivation, the level was raised to 52.

The spiritual energy and experience consumed to upgrade just one level already exceeded 100 million. This is even with the innate root bone reducing the experience by 25% and the Daoist power by 10%, which is extremely exaggerated.

The Destiny Reincarnation Sword Technique involves the two supreme laws of time and reincarnation. It is itself a top-tier, unparalleled sword technique, and its experience requirements are extremely high.

Two hours later, Su Yu spent a total of 41.25 billion spiritual energy experience and 4500 points of cultivation to upgrade the Destiny Reincarnation Sword Technique to the sixtieth level and successfully derived a new sword technique, the Reincarnation Sword Formation.

Reincarnation Sword Formation: Consumes a large amount of mana to condense sword energy and set up a sword formation. Each layer of the sword technique adds 100 sword energies. Characteristic: Reincarnation.

Reincarnation: The sword energy can be reassembled once after it is shattered.

Without hesitation, continue to improve.

He glanced at the remaining cultivation points in the experience pool and felt it wasn't enough, so he casually took out all 6 billion spiritual energy and experience points from the Spirit Gathering Bottle that he had stored for two months and continued to improve. Two more hours later, with a total of 81 billion spiritual energy and experience points and 6750 cultivation points consumed, the Destiny Reincarnation Sword Technique was upgraded to the 70th level, giving rise to a new sword path [Sword of Time - Overdrafting the Future].

Sword of Time - Borrowing the Future: Borrow power from the future using the power of time, attack power and attack speed +100000, lasts for 15 seconds, cooldown 1 month, trait: Time.

Time: The power of time is supreme. The Sword of Time ignores realm, defense, damage reduction, and realm. Every strike deals true damage and cannot be exempted by any means.

"Holy crap, adding 10 attack and attack speed, that's outrageous."

With this set of attacks combined, the burst damage is unbelievably exaggerated. Anyone below the Earth Immortal level can take it down, and even Earth Immortals can do it, since this borrowed attack is imbued with the power of time, ignoring realm, resistance, and damage reduction.

Once you remove the effects of realm suppression, high defense, and damage reduction, the Earth Immortal is essentially just a tankier boss.

"powerful!"

He couldn't help but smack his lips, then looked at the sword manual again: Seventy Layers of Destiny Reincarnation Sword Scripture: Flying sword damage +21000, attack speed +14000, sword control speed +14000 km/h.

"too strong!"

Su Yu grinned and closed the panel with a smug look on her face.

"Keep killing monsters!"

Seeing his strength visibly increase filled him with satisfaction and motivation. He was particularly eager to find a level 150 or higher BOSS to test his sword skills.

But after leaving Skyfire City, he only encountered mini-bosses, which he could defeat with a few sword strikes without even needing to use his ultimate skill.

He pushed his way through the battlefield, fighting his way to the edge of the ancient battlefield, but he never encountered an opponent worthy of his ultimate move, which was extremely regrettable.

"Damn it, let's go check out the ancient battlefield."

Having greatly improved one's strength and acquired a special move, but having no opportunity to test it out, is like wearing fine clothes in the dark—it feels incredibly awkward.

He couldn't bear it.

They decisively turned around, crossed the border, and plunged into the ancient battlefield.

As soon as he passed through, Su Yu's powerful six senses clearly felt the changes in the rules of heaven and earth. The world within the battlefield remained the same, but under his powerful perception, it was extremely distorted, upside down, and the space was very thin, with tiny, hidden spatial cracks everywhere, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

Logically speaking, a space like this, fragmented like a broken mirror, should have collapsed immediately.

But there seems to be an invisible force constraining this space, keeping it stable.

However, this stability was not as solid and stable as he had imagined. He could sense that this stability was on the verge of collapse at any moment, which was a very contradictory feeling.

"What a weirdo."

He shook his head, looked up at the collapsing heaven and earth in front of him, and used the Azure Cloud Canopy to slow down his speed and fly over there.

Not only has the space collapsed in this world, but the earth itself has also collapsed. Everywhere there are collapsed mountains and rivers, which rise up and float in the air. Below them are endless shattered abysses, with countless flames and lava flowing, and water and wind pillars mixed together.

Amidst this chaos, twisted monsters spawned from distorted rules are everywhere.

It's like there's a piece of land over a hundred kilometers long hanging upside down in the air just a few kilometers away from him. On the upside-down side, there are mountains and lakes, but the water inside doesn't flow into the abyss below because of the inversion. The lake is inhabited by a large number of twisted aquatic monsters, each of which is over a hundred levels.

In the center of this lake, which is more than 30 kilometers in diameter, a huge dragon-like beast can be faintly seen.

Part of it is a dragon, and the other part is a twisted monster made up of other spirits and monsters.

Level 168, terrifying template, with over ten million HP, enough for him to test the power of the new derivative ultimate move of the Supreme Sword Technique.

With a thought, Su Yu soared into the air toward the upside-down earth. Halfway there, the precious light flickered violently from time to time, and its defensive power continued to decrease.

That's because the battlefield is filled with tiny spatial rifts that are hard to see with the naked eye. Touching one can cause 10000 points of tearing damage that ignores defense. If it's a larger spatial rift, the damage can be 20000 or 30000 or even more.

Therefore, one cannot fly quickly here, otherwise, if one encounters dozens or even hundreds of tiny spatial rifts in a short time, even a seventh-tier defensive magic weapon can be instantly torn apart.

A minute later, Su Yu had flown to the ground in mid-air and instantly felt the world turn upside down. The mountain peaks that she had previously thought were upside down instantly became normal.

It resembles a normal world.

However, if we ignore the pitch-black sky overhead, which resembles an abyss, the enormous spatial rift within the abyss, and the flowing lava flames and water dragons and wind pillars within it...

"What an amazing world!"

Su Yu reached out and summoned two sword energies, one purple and one green, which flew out and hovered in his palm, their sharp sword light flickering uncertainly.

He flicked his fingers, and two sword energies shot into the lake. A little blood rose up, and two fish-like monsters rushed out.

He didn't dare to circle too many at once on his first try, because if he was unlucky enough to encounter a monster with distorted laws, he would be doomed.

With a few swift sword strikes, the two monsters were trapped within the two flying swords and unable to break free.

Su Yu felt much more at ease. It was obvious that these two were not law monsters, but just ordinary twisted monsters.

Although it was just an experience monster, its health, defense, and strength were all stronger than ordinary experience monsters outside. It was also a level 100 monster with high base health, so it took him some effort to kill it.

Without pausing, he activated his flying sword again, drawing in more than a dozen experience monsters from the vicinity.
