Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 244 Wind God Palace

"very powerful!"

Su Yu smiled with satisfaction, his gaze falling on the remaining 645 billion cultivation points and 58473 points of Dao cultivation in the experience pool. A thought flashed through his mind:
"promote!"

After reducing the experience consumption by 30% and the cultivation consumption by 15% with innate talent, it only takes 2310 million cultivation points and 425 cultivation points to raise the true skill to the tenth level and generate the method [Dark Force].

Hidden Strength: Penetrates defense; increases defense penetration by 2 for every 10 levels of skill.

Normal effect: Armor penetration +1; Talent bonus: Armor penetration +2.

With 8120 million cultivation points and 850 points of Daoist cultivation, the Nine Extremes Milun True Skill was upgraded to the twentieth level, giving rise to the method of [Physical Flight].

Physical Flight: Flying by taking flight with one's physical body. The flight height increases by 20 meters for each level gained, and the flight speed is equal to the speed of the cultivation technique.

With 196.7 million cultivation points and 1275 points of Daoist cultivation, the Nine Extremes Milun True Skill was upgraded to level 30, giving rise to the method [Body-Breaking Qi].

Breaking Qi: Powerful force bombardment forms breaking qi, each level increases the qi distance by 2 meters.

With 437.5 million cultivation points and 2125 points of Taoist cultivation, the Nine Extremes Milun True Skill was upgraded to level 40, giving rise to the derived method [Hitting the Ox Across the Mountain].

Hitting targets across mountains: Power can be used to strike targets through obstacles, with an additional 20 centimeters of distance for each level.

Consuming 910 million cultivation points and 2975 points of Daoist cultivation, the Nine Extremes Pure Realm True Skill was upgraded to level 50, and the derived method [Rapid Healing] was unlocked.

Rapid Healing: Wounds heal rapidly, with an additional 100% injury recovery speed for every ten stacks.

Consuming 18.9 billion cultivation points and 4250 points of Daoist cultivation, the Nine Extremes Pure Realm True Skill was upgraded to level sixty, giving rise to the method [Qi Blood Wolf Smoke].

Blood and Mist: Unleash potential, all attributes +100% for 3 minutes, cooldown 24 hours.

Consumption.
With a shortage of cultivation points, Su Yu refined the spiritual liquid accumulated in the Spirit Gathering Bottle, then consumed 37.8 billion cultivation points and 6375 points of Dao cultivation to raise the Nine Extremes Pure Truth Technique to the seventieth level, thus generating the derivative technique [Indestructible Vajra].

Indestructible: Immune to damage equal to physical strength, greatly increases resistance to armor penetration.

At this point, all cultivation points were used up, leaving only a little over 100 million, but only 18275 points of cultivation were consumed, leaving 40198 points of cultivation remaining.

The 70th level of the Nine Extremes True Skill grants +1.4 million Health, +42000 Physique, +70000 Strength, +14000 km/h Speed, and +1400 Health Recovery per second.

This is the difference between having and not having a body-refining method. The Immortal Body only increases physical strength and power by 40,000, while the Nine Extremes Mi Lun True Technique at only seventy levels has already increased physical strength and power by more than the Immortal Body.

After closing the panel, Su Yu remembered that she hadn't used the three Heavenly Dao Powers that Heaven had rewarded her with after her tribulation.

This thing is essentially an enhanced version of the power of laws; its effects are extremely powerful, possessing the miraculous ability to turn the rotten into the miraculous.

But where to use it?
Transform into a dragon?

Theoretically, placing three dots on the dragon transformation point can raise the Crimson Dragon to level 300 and allow it to directly undergo the Heavenly Tribulation.

However, attempting to undergo the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Man without any preparation has a very high failure rate.

Mythical templates are not invincible. Besides, this is just an avatar, not the real thing. Su Yu's mastery of the true dragon's power is not yet complete, and he has not prepared any method for transcending the tribulation. If he rushes to transcend the tribulation like this, he will most likely fail.

Aside from transforming into a dragon, there aren't many other methods that offer any real value.

Ordinary Taoist techniques do not need to be upgraded at all. Techniques such as the Heavenly Ghost Transformation Technique, the Geng Metal Sword Fiend, and the Hundred-Eyed Divine Light can be transformed using the power of the Heavenly Dao. For example, the Heavenly Ghost Transformation Technique can be upgraded from the exquisite level to the profound level or even the sect-suppressing level. The Geng Metal Sword Fiend and the Hundred-Eyed Divine Light can also be operated in this way.

But the price/performance ratio is too low.

The Battle True Body automatically upgrades as your cultivation level increases, and cannot be strengthened using this method.

The Magnetic Flow Light Escape technique is already at the second level, which is more than enough.

The Crimson Dragon Techniques do not need to be upgraded; they are not the primary means, and their power is perfectly sufficient.

Aside from that, the only things that can be improved are the unity of the five elements and the law of time.

The law of time goes without saying; it's about mastering the law. If there's no choice involved, this principle is infallible.

The concept of the Five Elements in One is not easily understood by many, including Su Yu. However, after undergoing the tribulation, he secretly consulted his master and came to understand.

This thing simply increases one's control over the five elements and reduces the conflicts in the fusion of the five elements. Theoretically, when this ability is maximized, the five elements can be completely unified and returned to their origin to merge into the power of chaos.

The five elements of divine thunder combine to form the Chaos Divine Thunder, which possesses abnormally high power.

The two most valuable abilities Su Yu possesses are the unity of the five elements and the law of time.

After a brief hesitation, Su Yu invested a bit of Heavenly Dao power into the Law of Time, and the two points combined with the Five Elements resulted in both abilities becoming +3.

Time Law +1 again, attack power and attack speed borrowed from the future +10, duration +5 seconds.

The maximum lifespan is also increased by 25 years as time passes.

The time point for rewinding time is increased by 10 seconds.

As for the unity of the five elements, Su Yu used his right hand to release a ball of flame, and his left hand to condense a ball of Gui water essence. When he put his hands together, the water and fire actually merged, and then the flames trembled violently.

"Such powerful immortal foundation characteristics."

Water and fire trembled violently in his hands, but under his control, they did not explode until he condensed another ball of earth essence into it. The ball of light exploded directly, and a violent shockwave filled the entire quiet room.

"Not high enough level!"

Su Yu pinched her chin, recalling the difficulty of controlling water and fire, as well as the intensity and speed of collapse when incorporating the essence of Xu earth. To fuse the three elements, at least five elements must be combined and five must be combined.

To fuse four elements, you need at least +7.

It is estimated that if the five elements are to be integrated, the five elements must be combined to +9.

However, this is merely the unification of the five elements. To transform the unification of the five elements into chaos, a more advanced process is required.

"It's purely a late-game ability; it's almost useless before +10."

However, Su Yu felt that if she still had the power of the Heavenly Dao, she should add some points to it and try to reach +10 as soon as possible to achieve a qualitative change and become powerful.

"Next, there will be an opportunity to obtain the power of the Heavenly Dao, mainly by combining the Five Elements and the Law of Time."

"Add points as appropriate for the transformation into a dragon."

In the days that followed, Su Yu devoted himself to rigorous training within the dojo. A month later, having thoroughly grasped his abilities, he decided to emerge from seclusion and continue his training outside the dojo.

Establishing a foundation marks the true beginning of the cultivation path. The journey is long and arduous, and one cannot afford to slacken. Upon returning to Ten Thousand Poisons Island, the guild immediately held a Foundation Establishment Ceremony for him, the guild leader, with a three-day banquet.

During this time, Su Yu also took four of the women depicted in the "Eight Beauties in Harmony" painting into his room.

As they had agreed beforehand, Su Yu successfully established his immortal foundation, and the four women kept their promise to serve him together.

Of course, they had no other choice. Their souls and true spirits were refined into the Eight Beauties' Joyful Union Diagram. If they did not want to enter reincarnation, they could only compromise and submit to him.

They were quite lucky. It was beyond their expectations that they had found a super genius who had established an immortal foundation. Even Xia Xiaoyue, the most talented of the four women and a true disciple of the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect, would not have been able to find a super genius who had established an immortal foundation as her Daoist partner even if nothing had happened.

Canghai, Luo Qingchan, and the four women of the Eight Beauties in Harmony, Su Yu currently has two Daoist partners and four maids.

"The heavenly tribulation has been overcome, the foundation for cultivation has been established, status and position have been perfected, and I already have a woman. What should I do next?"

That evening, after finishing with Xia Xiaoyue, Su Yu suddenly felt during the break that she might have been too decadent lately.

Relying on his superhuman physique and pure yang body, he has been indulging in nightly revelry and sleeping with multiple women, neglecting everything else.

Over time, my body was fine, but I always felt that my willpower had been worn down a lot.

"This can't go on, we need to find something to do."

He stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, then flipped his hand and took out the Wind God Token, muttering to himself:
"Now that we have established our immortal foundation, our strength is many times greater than before. It's time to go into the Wind God's Palace and see if we can get some good stuff."

"After returning from the Wind God's Palace, I'll go to the Falling Star Islands to kill some alien races and earn some merit. Once I've accumulated enough, I can prepare to go to Zhongyuan Mountain in Shenzhou to propose marriage to Qingchan."

However, before going, we need to equip the four maids with some magical artifacts.

The women in the Eight Beauties in the Joyful Union Painting are trapped inside magical artifacts. They have cultivation but no magical artifacts to use. We need to provide them with some magical artifacts so that they can be put to good use.

This investment is necessary. After all, they are all top-grade Dao Foundation cultivators, and their main cultivation techniques are at least at the sect-level. One of them is even a top-tier immortal sect's true disciple. As long as they are equipped with good magic weapons, they will have super strong combat power, and they can carry them with them at all times.

Having made his decision, Su Yu immediately teleported back to the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect, spending 5 Great Merit Points to exchange for a ninth-tier rare magic weapon for Xia Xiaoyue, the strongest disciple of the Wanfa Immortal Sect.

Since we are going to nurture them, we cannot be stingy.

Nine Heavens Cloud Pouch (Ninth Rank): A rare item, made by mixing and condensing the Nine Heavens Qi and the Earth's evil Qi into silk, then weaving it into a pouch. It can be made to any size, appear and disappear at will, and has extremely strong defense.

Attributes: 400 million defense, 50% damage reduction, 1000% mana conversion rate, additional characteristics: size control, appearance and disappearance at will, flexibility.

Size Change: This treasure can change size as desired, with a maximum coverage diameter of 30 kilometers.

Appearance and disappearance are determined by the mind: This treasure can be hidden in the void.

Flexibility: The condensed Qi of the Gang Sha is extremely flexible, increasing defense strength by 5000.

In addition, Su Yu used the remaining three merit points to exchange for a ninth-tier exquisite dust-repelling banner, which was exactly the same as the one in Chu Xinyue's hand.

In addition, Su Yu also gave her the unused eighth-tier fine-quality Wind and Fire Fan. With two ninth-tier magic treasures and one eighth-tier magic treasure, it was more than enough.

For people at their level, they have already passed the stage of accumulating magical treasures; one or two good magical treasures are enough.

Then Su Yu gave Yue Qingsi the eighth-tier defensive magic weapon she had left over from her previous tribulation. Yue Qingsi was a core disciple of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect and a sword cultivator. Su Yu also spent 20000 gold to buy a pair of seventh-tier rare flying swords.

It's not that we can't get an eighth-tier flying sword, it's just that we don't have a good set of eighth-tier flying swords. Relatively speaking, this set of seventh-tier treasures is definitely better than ordinary eighth-tier flying swords.

Then there's Cui Yunxian, who is also a core disciple of the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect. Su Yu has invested the most in him.

I made a special trip to Flying Star Island and spent 22000 gold to buy an eighth-tier exquisite defensive magic weapon from the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce. Then I spent 72000 gold to buy a set of 36 Demon-Subduing Array Flags, all of which are of the seventh tier. Together they can be used to set up the Eight Desolations Demon-Subduing Array.

Then I spent 3000 gold to buy a seventh-tier rare Nine-Bend Golden Mirror, which can freeze the target.

I purchased an eighth-tier exquisite Soul-Shocking Bell on Flying Star Island for 45000 gold. When activated, the bell tolls, stunning nearby enemies.

Most of the magical artifacts equipped for her were auxiliary ones, and their main task was to provide support from the sidelines.

Finally, there was Yan Qiubai from the Yin-Yang Demon Sect. Su Yu provided her with an eighth-tier high-quality defensive magic weapon, and that was the end of it.

The main reason is that she comes from the Yin-Yang Demon Sect, and only a magic weapon can unleash her strongest combat power. Su Yu can't find a suitable magic weapon for her in a short time.

After spending 16.2 gold to arm them, Su Yu immediately returned to the guild.

He took out the Wind God Token and activated the teleportation. A surging divine wind surged out from the Wind God Token, enveloping him and transforming into a beam of clear light that shot into the sky.

"It's not teleportation, it's Wind Release?"

Moreover, it is the divine wind power hidden within the Wind God's Decree, which is uncontrollable and unstoppable.

"So, while this thing is called teleportation, it's not actually teleportation."

However, through the semi-transparent divine wind, he could see the sea outside moving incredibly fast, flashing like lightning. It was even faster than the speed he used with his Yuan Magnetic Flow Light Escape technique, and not much different from teleportation.

In no time at all, they had traversed an unknown distance and entered the depths of the sea.

until
Su Yu saw in the distance that a towering wind pillar, tens of thousands of kilometers in diameter and seemingly endless in height, stood in the vast sea ahead. The endless seawater was drawn up by the wind pillar and rose into the sky, turning into torrential rain.

Amidst the raging wind and rain, dozens of familiar mythical birds from overseas were shuttling back and forth, patrolling around the towering pillar of wind.

A giant airship, several kilometers long, is anchored near the towering wind pillar, seemingly preparing to enter it.

Before Su Yu could even examine the flying boat, she transformed into a streak of light and shot into the towering wind pillar.

Everything went dark for a moment, then brightened, and when I could see again, I was standing on solid ground, on a divine palace square suspended in the eye of the storm.

The divine palace, stretching for hundreds of kilometers, floats in the eye of the storm. Looking down along the edge of the corridor, one sees endless void below, with howling winds emitting a terrifying roar.

The square is suspended in the air on three sides, with a tall archway gate on one side, decorated with mysterious wind patterns and the three large characters "Wind God Palace" on the top. Standing at the entrance of the archway are two rows of 24 terrifying level 180 template spirit puppets, surrounded by a circle of gentle breeze.

Looking through the archway, one can see the pavilions and towers inside, where players can be seen passing by from time to time.

Yes, Su Yu's eyesight is much better now than before, so she can be sure she didn't see wrong.

"This is the Wind God's Palace?"

"How can there be players?"

Just as he was lost in thought, someone suddenly flew out from inside the temple archway and landed in front of him. It was a young man with profound Qi Refining cultivation, who could definitely be called a genius outside. He looked at Su Yu with surprise and asked with clasped hands:
"This is the Wind God Palace, the Daoist temple of the Supreme Elder Guanxu Immortal Venerable of the Supreme Divine Firmament Sect. May I ask how you entered the Wind God Palace?"
