Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 245 The Divine Palace Changes Hands, Immortals Ascend the Wind God Tower (4K)

"???"

"The Daoist temple of the Supreme Divine Firmament Sect?"

This answer completely surprised Su Yu, leaving her stunned. She instinctively asked:

"Isn't this the Wind God's Palace?"

Li Hongfei replied with a smile:

"It used to be the Wind God Palace, but after the fall of the Wind God Palace Master, this palace was established as a Daoist temple by our sect's Supreme Elder, Immortal Venerable Guanxu."

Su Yu exclaimed in shock:
"Was the former master of the Wind God Palace killed by your sect's Immortal Venerable?"

"No, that's not it. The original palace master died unexpectedly, and the divine palace was without a master. Our sect's Supreme Elder Youde took over the position."

苏瑜
"Damn it, the Lord of the Divine Palace is dead. Did I come all this way for nothing?"

"My eighth-tier magic weapon!"

He reached out and took out the Wind God Token. Although this eighth-tier magic weapon was still there, the trace of the Wind God's divine power disappeared after it was teleported over. The magic weapon had lost its magic and had now degenerated into a seventh-tier fine magic weapon. Its function was only wind binding, and its effect had been greatly weakened.

Previously, it could bind up to 108 targets at the same time for 5-60 seconds, but now it can only bind 9 targets for 3-12 seconds, significantly weakening its power.

The weakening of attributes is just the surface; the key is that the trace of wind god power in the Wind God's Token has disappeared, and the priority of binding has been greatly reduced.

Previously, even if the opponent possessed an eighth-tier magic weapon, it could be easily immobilized; now, even a slightly stronger opponent cannot be immobilized.

This magical artifact is ruined.

Just as he was on the verge of tears, he suddenly felt a strong spatial fluctuation behind him. He subconsciously turned around and saw a large number of wind tunnels suddenly appear on the platform, and figures walked out of the wind tunnels.

Li Hongfei, who was speaking to him, immediately apologized and went to greet him:
"Li Hongfei of Guanxu Divine Palace greets the seniors and fellow disciples of Xuanyuan Palace. He has been waiting here for a long time on the orders of the Supreme Elder."

This group consisted of about twenty or thirty people. The leader was a powerful Earth Immortal, and the disciples behind him were divided into two groups: one group consisted entirely of Foundation Establishment Loose Immortals, and the other group consisted entirely of Qi Refining cultivators. They were all full of energy and had superb cultivation, clearly elites of their sect.

The elderly earth immortal, with white hair and beard, led the way and said with a smile:

“You lead them into the palace, and I will go to pay my respects to the Venerable Guanxu.”

Li Hongfei gestured with his hand:
"Please, Senior Zhang."

Elder Zhang Yuanqi of Xuanyuan Palace nodded, and just as he was about to leave, he noticed Su Yu standing awkwardly to the side, and asked in confusion:
"Who is this?"

Li Hongfei immediately explained:

"This is an outer sect disciple who came here with the Wind God Token."

Zhang Yuanqi asked in confusion:

"Didn't Senior Guanxu already retrieve the Wind God Tokens? Why is someone else bringing them here?"

Li Hongfei said:
"It was probably left out a long time ago."

Zhang Yuanqi looked Su Yu up and down, nodded, and asked:
"I observe that your cultivation is extraordinary and your demeanor is remarkable. You must be a disciple of a prestigious and righteous sect. May I ask which sect you belong to?"

Su Yu clasped his hands in a respectful bow and said:
"My name is Su Yu, a disciple of the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect on Blue Mountain Island."

"Huh, Blue Mountain Island, so it's not from China after all."

"I've heard of this place before. It's a newly developed area. I've also heard of the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect. I've heard it's one of the five top sects in the area, with several immortal venerables still alive."

He thought for a moment and then said:

"Since you have come with the Wind God's Token, you should be granted entry according to the rules of the various sects. Please wait a moment, I will meet with the Immortal Venerable later to inform him of the decision on how to proceed!"

Su Yu quickly replied:

"Thank you for the notification, senior!"

"It's no trouble at all, just a small favor."

After saying that, Zhang Yuanqi waved his sleeve and disappeared in a flash of light.

Su Yu quietly stepped aside, looking down at her nose and remaining silent.

Li Hongfei ignored him and was greeting his fellow disciples from Xuanyuan Palace to enter the palace.

As the group entered through the gate, many people looked him up and down curiously and whispered among themselves.

Everyone left, and the area in front of the door returned to calm.

With nothing else to do, Su Yu sat on the edge of the platform, took out a jade gourd, drank wine, and watched the howling wind in the abyss outside.

The change of ownership of the Wind God Palace was completely unexpected for him. If he had known, he wouldn't have come. He should have kept the Wind God Token for his own use.

It's unclear what the outcome will be, or whether the Immortal Venerable Guanxu will acknowledge the previous Wind God's Token.

If you accept it, at least you can break even.

If we don't acknowledge it, we'll lose an eighth-tier magic weapon.

He didn't have to wait long; before he had even finished a pot of wine, someone flew out of the temple archway. It was Li Hongfei, who shouted from afar:
"Senior Brother Su Yu!"

"By order of the Supreme Elder, please invite Senior Brother Su to the Divine Palace."

Su Yu immediately stood up and said:

"Please lead the way, sir."

"Come with me."

The two took to the air and entered the divine palace one after the other, heading straight for the depths of the palace along the central line.

This divine palace is extremely vast, with suspended platforms throughout its interior, all relying on the central core. These platforms are surrounded by a ring of divine wind, and pavilions and towers stand on them, radiating precious light everywhere. Su Yu glanced at the material of the divine palace and the spiritual patterns deep within it, realizing that this Wind God Palace itself was a super magic weapon.

After passing through layers of platforms, we soon arrived at the center of the Wind God Palace and entered a vast and magnificent palace hall.

"Disciple reports to the Immortal Venerable: the visiting disciple Su Yu has arrived."

A dozen gazes instantly turned towards them from inside the palace, each one filled with pressure, belonging to powerful Earth Immortals.

Su Yu, eyes downcast and seemingly lost in thought, solemnly performed the junior's bow:
"Su Yu, a disciple of the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect of Blue Mountain Island, pays respects to Immortal Venerable Guanxu!"

As soon as she finished speaking, another gaze fell upon her, and Su Yu instantly felt a chill run down her spine, as if her entire being had been seen through.

"what!"

An old voice suddenly rang out:

"Keep your head up."

Su Yu looked up and saw an old man with white hair and beard, dressed in a simple white robe, sitting in the center of the head seat. He was looking at her with great surprise. Su Yu reached out and a beam of green light flew out from her body and landed in his hand. It was the Wind God Token.

He held the Wind God Token, looked it over, and nodded, saying:

"It's true."

With a flick of his hand, without any visible movement, the Wind God Token vanished into thin air. The Immortal Venerable Guanxu said in a gentle voice:
"Logically speaking, the Wind God Token was an invitation sent out by the previous Palace Master, and I cannot accept it. However, considering your rank of Second Lieutenant, I will give you a chance." Su Yu looked up in surprise and saw Guanxu Immortal Venerable laughing heartily.
"No need to be surprised. Which human immortal hasn't served in the military? I myself was once a five-star general."

Su Yu quickly saluted and shouted:
"Your Excellency, General!"

Immortal Venerable Guanxu waved his hand and said:
"That's all in the past. I've been retired for over three thousand years."

Then, changing the subject, he said:
"You've come at just the right time. The Wind God Tower, which is held once every ten years at the Wind God Palace, is about to open. You can join them to ascend the tower and obtain the treasures in the Wind God's Treasury."

"In addition, you are also eligible to receive the rewards jointly offered by our eight sects in this year's Wind God Tower. You can get one item as long as you can enter the top ten."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Hongfei, who had brought him in, looked surprised, even more surprised than when he heard that he was a second lieutenant.

Meanwhile, the dozen or so Earth Immortals representing their respective sects stood by with indifferent expressions, as if they had known this all along.

After saying this, Immortal Venerable Guanxu waved his hand, and Su Yu immediately understood:

"Junior, please resign!"

Withdrawing along with Li Hongfei

Upon exiting the main hall, Li Hongfei said with a smile:

"I didn't expect you to be a second lieutenant when you were only at the foundation stage. It seems you have made quite a few contributions."

"lucky!"

"To make a name for yourself, you have to fight against other races. This is not something you can do by chance."

Li Hongfei's tone was noticeably more friendly as he said:

"Come with me. The people aren't all here yet. Let's rest for a while. I'll call you when the Wind God Tower opens once everyone is here."

Su Yu nodded and followed behind, then asked after a short while:
"May I ask, senior brother, what is this Wind God Tower?"

Li Hongfei said without turning his head:
"It is an opportunity within the Wind God Palace. Normally, only those with the Wind God Token can enter. However, the Wind God Palace is now controlled by our sect and has an agreement with various sects in Shenzhou. It opens every ten years, and each sect can send a certain number of disciples to challenge the tower."

"The Wind God Tower, as its name suggests, offers benefits upon ascent. These benefits can be exchanged for flying swords and magical treasures left behind by the previous ancient Wind God, top-tier natural treasures, or rare laws of power—everything imaginable is available."

"The Divine Tower has nine floors. You can obtain a certain amount of Wind God Power for each floor you climb. The higher you climb, the more Wind God Power you will be rewarded with. Finally, you can use the Wind God Power to exchange for treasures inside the Divine Tower. So you just need to try to climb to the highest floor you can."

Li Hongfei explained it in great detail, and Su Yu already had a clear understanding after listening.

The two quickly arrived at a nearby void platform, which was covered with a cluster of buildings. There were already quite a few people there. Their arrival, one after the other, attracted considerable attention. Soon, two disciples who appeared to be from the Xuan Yuan Palace, whom they had seen earlier, came to greet them. One of them cupped his hands and said:

"Senior Brother Li, isn't he an outside disciple? How did he get in here?"

"With the permission of the Supreme Elder, you may enter the Wind God Tower."

"Oh!"

The two were extremely surprised.

Li Hongfei led Su Yu to an empty room, told him to contact him anytime if he needed anything, and then left.

He had just left and Su Yu hadn't even sat down when she heard a knock on the door.

He opened the door, and standing outside were the two young disciples from Xuan Yuan Palace. One of them clasped his hands in a respectful greeting and asked:
"Qiao Wenzhao and He Yu from Xuanyuan Palace, we apologize for the intrusion and hope we have disturbed you."

Su Yu smiled and said:

"I was just looking forward to getting to know you all, the elites of various sects. I hope I am not disturbing you."

He Yu greeted the two as they entered the house with a smile and asked:
"I heard you're from Blue Mountain Island. I heard that place is a newly developed area. How's it developing?"

Su Yu paused for a moment and asked:
"I wonder which aspect of development you are referring to?"

"We're curious about the local players' skill level, the top local players' skill level, and the abundance of local resources. We're quite curious about how things are developing over there."

"Hmm, this is a difficult question to answer. Blue Mountain Island is not as rich in resources as other regions. As a newly developed area, it has only been developed for a few hundred years. The level of players is definitely not as good as other regions that have been developed for a long time. It is probably at the bottom among the many human-developed regions."

These things weren't considered sensitive issues, so Su Yu didn't hide anything and told the two of them all the information in detail.

The three got into a lively conversation, and the topic expanded to other places, such as their hometowns.

To Su Yu's surprise, the Xuan Yuan Palace, from which the two came, was actually from the main island of Shenzhou, and was one of the well-known sects on the island.

Su Yu had learned from Qing Chan long ago that there were fourteen upper sects and fifty-eight lower sects on the main island of Shenzhou. Each of them was a top sect with unparalleled inheritance and immortals presiding over it. Xuan Yuan Palace was ranked in the middle of the lower sects, and its overall strength was even greater than that of Xuan Zhen Immortal Sect.

The Supreme Divine Firmament Sect, being among the top sects, naturally possesses even greater strength.

This Guanxu Immortal Venerable is one of the Supreme Elders of the Supreme Divine Firmament Sect, and he uses the Wind God Palace as his Daoist temple.

"Brother Su, you're quite lucky. These Wind God Tokens have been gradually collected since Immortal Guanxu took over the Wind God Palace. There are probably very few left outside now. It's very fortunate that you were able to obtain one."

"This Wind God Tower is one of the most valuable opportunities in the Divine Palace. It opens once every ten years, and each time at least five or six sects, and sometimes more than a dozen sects, send dozens of disciples to enter. All of them are the best of their respective sects in their time."

Su Yu recalled the Xuan Yuan Palace disciples she had met before. Although they had not displayed their strength, they were all extraordinary.

"let me tell you."

At this point, He Yu lowered his voice and whispered:
“I heard from a true master of our sect that there are innate spiritual objects in the treasure vault of the Wind God Tower. If you can climb to the ninth floor and accumulate enough points to exchange for an innate spiritual object, you can forge at least a tenth-tier treasure and immediately soar to the sky. Brother Su, you can give it a try.”

Su Yu laughed and said:

"Brother He is joking. The nine-story Wind God Tower is incredibly difficult to climb. How could I possibly reach it? I only hope to reach the sixth or seventh floor and exchange for some top-tier spiritual items."

This was his true thought: he would be satisfied as long as he obtained a few top-tier spiritual items, so that he could prepare to refine a few ninth-tier magic treasures.

Yes, in the Other Shore, the vast majority of magic weapons of the ninth rank and above are crafted by themselves.

Although killing super bosses can drop flying swords and magic weapons of rank 9 or higher, it's too difficult and too random. The attributes of the dropped magic weapons may not be suitable for you, but if you refine them yourself, the attributes will definitely suit you.

The flying swords and magical treasures that Su Yu exchanged with the sect and the military were basically crafted by the master craftsmen themselves.

Speaking of which, Su Yu now has her own weapon-refining master.

Canghai successfully took human form five years ago. Nearly two hundred years have passed in Zhenhai Realm. Now, its level has been raised to 188. For nearly two hundred years, it has been dedicated to researching various life professions. Its level has reached a very high level, and its weapon crafting skills are already at the master level.

With enough materials, even a tenth-tier magic weapon can be forged.

He wasn't joking. After his advancement, Canghai dredged the spiritual veins within the Zhenhai Realm, and in reality, he could condense one strand of innate source power every year. So far, he has accumulated three strands of innate source power.

This thing is the innate origin, which is similar to the power of the Heavenly Dao, and even more powerful.

With sufficiently powerful materials, and by incorporating the power of innate origin, one can definitely forge a tenth-tier supreme treasure.

If one could obtain innate spiritual objects and combine them with innate origins, one could directly refine the most supreme treasures or even immortal treasures.

I won't even dream of immortal treasures; I'll get a few ninth-tier magic weapons first.

The three of them chatted for almost an hour before leaving, and even added each other as friends before they left.

After they left, Su Yu closed the door, hung a "Do Not Disturb" sign outside, cast a protective barrier over the entire room, and then opened the Zhenhai Realm Gate to enter.

He appeared directly in the central immortal mansion of Zhenhai Realm and immediately saw Yue Qingsi and Xia Xiaoyue playing chess, Cui Yunxian learning formations, and Yan Qiubai learning alchemy.
