Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 210 Return to Blue Mountain Island, Nine-Tier Rare Treasure Nine-Ring Immortal Banner

With just one glance, Su Yu recognized that the Nine Heavens Purple Thunder Hammer was the same one held by the Horned Demon Immortal Qirik.

I thought this Thunder Hammer was extraordinary just from its power before, but now it seems even more extraordinary than I imagined. It's an eighth-tier weapon, and a rare one at that, with tremendous power.

Fortunately, the ultimate move that comes with this thing requires charging up. I hadn't given it a chance before. If I had been hit by a Nine Heavens Thunder Strike, I would have been paralyzed for a few seconds, and I might have really lost.

He quickly refined the Nine Heavens Purple Thunder Hammer and then equipped it in place of the True Fire Heart Lamp, which he had only been using for a short time.

He currently only has five magic weapon slots. The Zhenhai Pearl is an innate immortal treasure that cannot be removed and must occupy one magic weapon slot. Then, the Qingyun Treasure Canopy must occupy one magic weapon slot, the Wind God Token occupies one, and the remaining slots, besides the Nine Heavens Purple Thunder Hammer, are equipped with the Wind and Fire Fan.

After all, it is an eighth-tier magic weapon, and its priority is higher than the True Fire Heart Lamp and the Wind and Fire Vajra Wheel.

After refining the magic weapon, Su Yu took out the essence blood of the demon immortal and examined it carefully.

"This thing can't be taken directly. We need to find a way to erase the remaining demonic will inside it first."

His Heavenly Might Star Immortal Bone is only effective against bewitching attacks and possession by demons below the Heavenly Immortal level. Even if a demon immortal's consciousness is weak, it is still above the Heavenly Immortal level.

"Let's talk about it when we get back."

Anyway, I'm not in a hurry right now, and I don't need this extra boost.

Su Yu didn't go anywhere for the next few days, and instead rested in Longwan City.

A week later, the military confirmed the boundary was real and awarded him a major merit.

After receiving the reward, Su Yu left Longwan City to cultivate her cultivation overseas.

Although there are many bosses in the Ancient Battlefield, they are too scattered and the environment is not good, resulting in low overall efficiency. It is not as convenient as overseas.

Just find a spot in the near sea, dive down, and release Ao Run into the seabed to drive away the BOSSes. You can drive away several at a time, and hundreds a day, accumulating several hundred points of cultivation.

For the next month, he stayed overseas and focused on grinding. By the time the Dragon Transformation Divine Power cooled down again, he had accumulated over ten thousand cultivation points.

Without hesitation, he added these skills to other secret techniques, raising both the Mustard Seed Concealment Technique and the Invisibility Technique to the fourth level in one go, just one step away from the fifth level.

With Concealment Technique and Invisibility at level four, the concealment effect is greatly enhanced. Combined with the double bonus from talents, the actual concealment effect is no worse than double level five.

Upon returning to Longwan City from overseas, Su Yu originally planned to visit the Fire Domain again, but he stopped when he casually learned about the changes in the Fire Domain over the past month.

"They're fighting so fiercely!"

While he was reporting the information about the fire domain that contained the demon immortal to the military, the Horned Demons also learned that the Horned Demons' Heavenly Evolution Immortal Sect had sent a large number of experts, who happened to clash with the human military. The two sides fought fiercely outside the Tower of Fire for control of the fire domain.

Both sides kept sending in their experts, including several Earth Immortals and over a thousand Loose Immortals. For a time, neither side could gain the upper hand.

With the two races locked in a stalemate, the Fire Domain remains unexplored, and the entrance to it is temporarily sealed off by the two races working together.

Su Yu went over to take a look and found that the broken void at the entrance to the Fire Domain had been sealed off and no one could enter. The spectacular sight of the towering fire pillar that spewed out thousands of miles high was gone.

He spent some money to find out information from professional intelligence brokers, and the result he learned was that it wouldn't be open to the public anytime soon.

If this territory is located within the ancient battlefield, the two sides may negotiate to jointly develop it.

However, this newly discovered territory is located on the human side, which has geographical and support advantages. The military will definitely not develop it together with the Horned Demons. It is highly likely that they will fight several battles to drive the Horned Demons out and take over this territory.

Based on past practices, there will likely be several sword duels to determine the winner, who will then gain ownership of this territory.

The speed of a serious sword fight cannot be fast, which means that the fire domain will be sealed for at least a few months, or even one or two years.

This is quite awkward, as Su Yu wanted to use the Dragon Transformation ultimate move to make another killing.

Just as everyone was speechless, the military suddenly issued an announcement:
"The military and the Tianyan Sect of the Horned Demons reached an agreement to determine the ownership of the Fire Domain through a sword duel, and a total of 50 Foundation Establishment cultivators and 50 Qi Refining cultivators were recruited."

"To control the scale of the battle, participants from both races are prohibited from participating. Levels are limited to below 150 and ages are limited to under 100. The rules for sword fighting are the same as those for arena combat."

"All human cultivators are welcome to register. Successful applicants will be rewarded with 1000 merit points. Each time an opponent is defeated in the sword duel, another 1000 merit points will be awarded. Winning three, five, or seven consecutive matches will earn additional minor merit points, while winning ten or twenty consecutive matches will earn additional major merit points, and applicants will also have the opportunity to explore the Fire Domain."

"Registration begins now and ends in three months. Please register at any of the military headquarters branches."

"Registration closes three months later."

"There's plenty of time!"

Su Yu rubbed her chin, an idea forming in her mind.

Without hesitation, he immediately spent 1 minor merit and 5000 merit points through the Taixu Divine Network to exchange for a Great Teleportation Talisman that fixed his return point in Longwan City. Then, he transformed into a streak of light and soared into the sky, flying southwest.

Three months is more than enough time for him to make a round trip to Blue Mountain Island and still have some left over.

I wouldn't have had this idea before, but since I condensed the Yuan Magnetic Flowing Light Bone and obtained the Yuan Magnetic Flowing Light Escape Technique, my speed has increased dramatically. Now, a round trip only takes two months.

It's been more than half a year since I left Blue Mountain Island for Falling Star Islands. I estimate that the Demon Fire Golden Canopy should be almost finished being refined. I'll go back and check if it's ready.

If you have already refined it, and you also have a ninth-tier magic weapon in hand, your chances of winning in sword duels will greatly increase.

Traveling at breakneck speed, Su Yu reappeared in the waters off Blue Mountain Island a month and two days later. She teleported directly back to her sect from Mingsu Palace and then paid her respects to her grandmaster.

Inside the suspended mountain, the two masters and their disciples sat facing each other. Su Yu sat at the lower end, brewing tea while recounting his experiences over the past six months.

After finishing his explanation in one breath, Master Xuanwei stroked his beard, his face filled with emotion:
"It's a pity that the once-powerful human sect, the Tianyan Immortal Sect, was ultimately occupied by that alien race."

Su Yu sighed and said:

"That sect has been occupied by alien races, and it will be very difficult to take back the other half of the Heavenly Book."

Xuanwei Daoist gently waved his hand and said:
"It's alright. Tens of thousands of years have passed. It's not your fault if you can't find it. It's just a pity that the two heavenly books cannot be combined. It's just that the sect-level cultivation method is indeed a notch below."

Su Yu said in a deep voice:

“My grand-disciple actually has an idea.”

"Tell me."

"My grand-disciple plans to collect some fragments of laws, use the power of laws to draw upon the power of the Heavenly Dao to complete my cultivation method, and elevate the Xuan Ting Treasure Scripture that I am cultivating to the supreme level."

Xuanwei Daoist nodded and said:
"That is indeed a method, but fragments of the laws are not easy to obtain."

He paused suddenly, then laughed:

“It is indeed rare to find Law Fragments here in Blue Mountain, but as you said before, there are quite a few ways to obtain Law Fragments in the Falling Star Islands. You can give it a try.”

"By the way, you're back just in time. Your Demon Fire Golden Canopy has been reforged. Wait a moment."

As the grandmaster spoke, he closed his eyes. A moment later, Su Yu suddenly sensed something and looked outside. He saw a shooting star flying from the sky and shooting straight into the hall, landing in Xuanwei Daoist's hand.

The flames subsided, revealing a golden canopy.

Xuanwei Daoist threw the precious banner to Su Yu, who hurriedly caught it.

"Take a look and see if there are any changes needed."

Su Yu lowered his gaze to the treasure banner, and its attributes immediately appeared before his eyes.

Nine-Precept Immortal Banner (Ninth Rank): A rare treasure, incomplete, a supreme treasure of the Xuanmen sect, containing guardian deities that can suppress demons and monsters.

Immortal Banner Like a Mountain: Activates the Immortal Banner to transform into a 1000-10000 meter mountain that crashes into the target, dealing physical damage equal to at least 10 + 200% and at most 50 + 500% of the spell damage. Casting range is 50 kilometers. Mana cost is 20000-150000 points. Characteristics: Shock, Immovable as a Mountain, Indestructible.

Guardian General: Activate the Immortal Banner to summon the Guardian General enshrined within the banner to attack the enemy. The level and template of the Guardian General depend on the refined essence. Quantity: 0/10000.

Note: Guardian deities can be upgraded and will be reborn inside the Immortal Pavilion after death, with a rebirth time of 24 hours.

Immortal Banner Suppression: Activate the Immortal Banner to suppress enemies, using Immortal Fire to burn and refine them. The Immortal Fire deals 30000 + 100% magic damage. Being killed by the Immortal Fire results in a 50-year lifespan penalty and a weakened state for the next year, with experience gain reduced by 75%.

Note: If you do not open the Immortal Canopy, you will only be resurrected inside the Immortal Canopy if you die inside it. However, if your opponent has a strong soul or is protected, they may be able to escape the Immortal Canopy and be resurrected.

Note: If you die completely inside the Nine Precepts Immortal Banner, you will receive 20% of your total accumulated cultivation points and Taoist cultivation throughout your life.

Note: The suppression limit of the Immortal Canopy is determined by the realm of the Immortal Canopy Master. It can only suppress enemies who are one realm higher than the Immortal Canopy Master. Enemies who exceed the realm can forcibly break out of the canopy.

"This immortal banner is only in its initial stage of refinement. You can integrate it with the essence of demons or other spiritual objects to refine it into a guardian deity. However, the level of the demon essence and the level of the spiritual object will determine the level of the guardian deity. You can choose high-quality spiritual objects and essences to refine into it as appropriate."

Xuanwei Daoist reached out and flipped his hand, taking out another white jade gourd and handing it to Su Yu, saying:
"Here are some high-quality essences that you can refine into your Immortal Banner later."

Su Yu quickly took it, and when she looked at the gourd, her eyes lit up.

里面有100条等级为150级精英模板的妖物精魄，10条等级为150级但恐怖模板的妖物精魄，以及1条等级为150级绝世模板的妖物精魄。

"Thank you, Grandmaster!"

"As long as you like it."

Su Yu carefully put the gourd away and then asked:
"This disciple sees the word 'incomplete' on this celestial banner. Is this because the guardian deity has not been refined?"

"No, this requires you to accumulate merit. Once you accumulate enough merit, this treasure will gain the characteristic of being unaffected by karma."

Su Yu's eyes lit up immediately.

"Holy crap, which big shot did our grandmaster hire and how much did he spend to create such a top-tier treasure?"

The ability to be unaffected by cause and effect is incredibly powerful, comparable to the invulnerability of the Azure Cloud Canopy.

To put it bluntly, using this thing to kill people won't diminish your merit, won't affect your destiny or luck, and won't be rejected by the Heavenly Dao.

As we all know, all living beings, whether human, demon, or monster, have a record of their merits and demerits in the Heavenly Realm. Mortals are judged based on their merits and demerits to determine whether they go to hell and what they will be reborn as in their next life.

The cultivator will determine the difficulty of your tribulation based on your merits and demerits when you undergo it.
