Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 258 Body Refinement Hundred Levels, Dao Foundation Perfected, Second Grade Dao Foundation
"Yanbo City has fallen!"

The news quickly spread to every corner of the Horned Demon civilization, from the East China Sea, which was being impacted by the Red Tide, to the Tianyan Main City on the East Island, which was unaffected by the Red Tide.

The fall of Yanbo City is nothing special; in the Red Tide, it's not uncommon for cities to fall due to bad luck encountering numerous super bosses.

However, according to the horned demons who escaped from Yanbo City, Yanbo City was destroyed by a human cultivator.

As time went on, more and more players resurrected in other places, and as they recounted their experiences, the truth gradually came to light.

In the Four Symbols Main City, the Horned Demon Celestial Immortal, who resides permanently in the main city, pointed at Su Yu on the water mirror and said in a deep voice:

"This human is no ordinary being; he will surely become a threat to our race in the future."

"Pass on my order: a reward will be offered for this boy."

Soon everyone saw the pinned bounty:
"Bounty: Completely kill and destroy the human cultivators in Yanbo City, reward one Heavenly Merit."

The bounty caused an uproar in the main city.

Just like humans, the merits of the horned demons are divided into minor merits, major merits, and heavenly merits. One heavenly merit can be exchanged for a tenth-tier magic weapon, which is tempting to everyone.

Immediately, many elite horned demons took up the bounty, including many super elites who were ranked on the list of peerless geniuses.

Every now and then, powerful elite horned demons would form teams and leave the main city to enter the vast red tide.

The Crimson Tide is a dangerous place for Qi Refining players, but it poses no danger to top-tier Loose Immortals. As long as they don't do anything reckless and provoke those super BOSSes over level 200, they are basically safe and sound. They have enough strength to enter the Crimson Tide and hunt down Su Yu.

At this time, Su Yu was unaware that he had been personally wanted by the immortal general of the Horned Demon Army. He was still improving his cultivation inside the Zhenhai Pearl.

After reaching the 100th level of the Hundred-Eyed Divine Light Transformation, it stopped improving and is sufficient for now. Next, I will focus on improving the Nine Extremes Miren Immortal Technique and raising this body-refining method to the 100th level.

Upgrading from the 80th to the 90th level requires 14 billion cultivation points and 17000 points of Taoist cultivation.

The upgrade from the 90th to the 100th floor consumed 28 billion cultivation points and 29750 points of Taoist cultivation.

Upon reaching the 100th level of the Nine Extremes True Skill, one gains +2 million Qi and Blood, +60000 Physique, +100000 Strength, +20000 km/h Speed, and +2000 Qi and Blood Recovery per second. At the 100th level, one successfully develops the "Transformation of Strength" skill.

Transforming Strength: Combining softness and strength, softness and hardness, with energy permeating the entire body, allowing complete control over one's own internal and external aspects.

Mastering the transformation of internal energy signifies complete control over one's physique and strength, marking the end of a phase in physical cultivation.

If one is at the Qi Refining stage, the next step is to undergo tribulation.

However, he has now overcome the Heavenly Tribulation and established his Dao Foundation, so this Body Refining Method naturally integrates into his Immortal Foundation.

Correspondingly, the Nine Extremes Pure Truth Technique also successfully transformed into a foundational Dao method.

Nine Extremes Pure Truth Technique (Supreme): The foundational method of the Dao, the highest body-refining method of the Nine Extremes lineage of the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect, which can cultivate an indestructible body.

Each level increases HP by 50000, Constitution by 2000, Strength by 3000, Speed ​​by 500 km/h, and HP recovery by 100 points/second.

Furthermore, after the Nine Extremes Miren True Technique is integrated into the Immortal Foundation and promoted to the Dao Foundation Method, it automatically generates a Nine Extremes Miren True Body. However, there can only be one True Body, so it is directly covered by the Battle True Body.

At this point, Su Yu's Qi Refining Technique, Sword Art, and Body Refining Method had all reached the hundredth level. All his power had been integrated into one, including the attributes gained from rare and precious materials. His Dao Foundation was now completely perfected.

There are nine grades in the Dao Foundation, and Su Yu is currently at the initial, ungraded stage.

Perfected Time Battle Immortal Foundation (Unranked): Immune to primordial spirit attacks and possession by inner demons below the level of Celestial Immortal; immune to slowing, imprisonment, immobilization, and defense penetration below the level of Celestial Immortal; all spell damage and range +200%; all resistances and damage reduction +70%; all speed +200%.

Health +750 million, Mana +45, Physique +12, Strength +18, Spell Damage +80000, Physical Flight Speed ​​+30000 km/h. Health Recovery +3000 points, Mana Recovery +200 points.

Flying sword damage +60000, attack speed +40000, sword control speed +40000 km/h.

Having a perfect Dao Foundation has one advantage: subsequent advancements do not require separate advancements in Qi Refining Techniques, Sword Techniques, and Body Refining Methods; instead, the Dao Foundation grade is directly improved.

Then, with each advancement of one grade in Dao Foundation, the Qi Refining Technique, Sword Art, and Body Refining Method will all be upgraded by ten levels, and the increased attributes will be directly integrated into the Dao Foundation.

For each grade of Dao Foundation advancement: Qi and Blood +50, Mana +2, Physique +2, Strength +3, Spell Power +2, Physical Flight Speed ​​+5000 km/h, Qi and Blood Recovery +1000 points/second, Mana Recovery +30 points/second.

Flying sword damage +6000, attack speed +4000, sword control speed +4000 km/h.

"Let me see how many cultivation points and Dao points are needed to advance to the first-grade Dao Foundation."

Su Yu clicked her tongue and looked up at the control panel.

"Not bad, 1000 billion cultivation points and 10 cultivation points."

With a thought, the 700 billion cultivation points and 85000 points of Dao cultivation in the experience pool began to burn, transforming into a surging power that rose from within the body, seeped into the limbs and bones, merged into the meridians, and transformed into a surging torrent that rushed within the meridians, merging into the immortal foundation after a complete cycle.

In Su Yu's consciousness, the Battle Immortal Foundation was like a single-story pagoda. As a continuous stream of power flowed into the foundation, a new pagoda slowly built on top of it.

An hour later, the foundation of the first-grade Dao was established.

The advantage of a perfect Dao Foundation is that one can advance one rank with each step, and each rank has ten levels, which translates to 110 levels.

Of course, if he wanted to, he could be promoted one level at a time, but that would be too much trouble.

After resting for two days following the upgrade, and waiting for the physique and magical power to be fully integrated, Su Yu opened the panel again to upgrade his Dao foundation.

Two hours later, after consuming 1400 billion cultivation points and 17 points of Dao cultivation, the Dao Foundation was upgraded to the second rank, which is level 120.

Time-Traveling Immortal Foundation (Rank 2): Immune to attacks from primordial spirits below the Celestial Immortal level and to possession by inner demons; immune to slowing, imprisonment, immobilization, and defense penetration effects below the Celestial Immortal level; all spell damage and range increased by 200%; all resistances and damage reduction increased by 70%; all speed increased by 200%. Health +8.5 million, Mana +490,000, Physique +160,000, Strength +240,000, Spell Damage +120,000; Physical flight speed increased by 40000 km/h; Health regeneration increased by 5000 points/second; Mana regeneration increased by 260 points/second.

Flying sword damage +72000, attack speed +48000, sword control speed +48000 km/h.

The remaining cultivation points and Dao cultivation are insufficient to raise the Dao Foundation to the third rank.

There are a total of 285 billion cultivation points and 642300 points of Dao cultivation. Among them, the Nine Extremes Milun Immortal Technique consumed 42 billion cultivation points and 46750 points of Dao cultivation to upgrade from the 80th to the 100th level.

The Hundred-Eyed Divine Light fully activated consumed 126 billion cultivation points and 15620 points of Dao cultivation.

Then, the Dao Foundation advanced two ranks, consuming 2100 billion cultivation points and 25.5 points of Dao cultivation.

In total, 2646 billion cultivation points and 317370 points of Dao cultivation were consumed, leaving 204 billion cultivation points and 324930 points of Dao cultivation remaining.

"My cultivation level can still be raised by one rank, but my cultivation points are far from enough."

"One liter equals hundreds of billions of cultivation points and hundreds of thousands of cultivation levels, that's outrageous."

But considering that this is a foundation for immortality, composed of three supreme cultivation techniques, the requirement isn't too outrageous.

"Take your time. There's no rush. Reaching the maximum level within a hundred years would be considered fast."

After closing the panel, Su Yu emerged from the quiet room. Cang Hai had already refined the primordial spirit of the horned demon into a spirit puppet.

Earth Immortal Spirit Puppet (Legend): An Earth Immortal, level 214, a spirit puppet crafted using the primordial spirit of an Earth Immortal.

Attributes: 6500 million HP, 210 million MP, 75 Attack Power, 12 km/h Speed: Second-stage Golden Core, Earth Immortal Dharma Form, Taiyin Six Tribulations Transformation Nerve (Suppressing the Sect), True Gang Five Thunder Technique, Five Sacred Mountains True Form Divine Technique, Five Elements Various Techniques, Five Elements Thunder Technique, Five Elements Escape Technique, Five Elements Forbidden Technique.

Characteristic: Realm Suppression (Earth Immortal)
Magical artifact: None.

However, because it is not the original physical body, its strength has decreased. It was originally level 248, but now it is only level 214. It is a legendary template, and its strength is considered to be at the bottom among the Earth Immortals.

But even at the very bottom, they are still Earth Immortals. Based on their cultivation level, they can crush most Loose Immortals, and they can hold their own against other Earth Immortals for a while.

On the third day, Su Yu emerged from the Zhenhai Pearl, with an old human man in a white robe standing behind him.

Upon seeing a living person, the surrounding red tide surged forward. The old man waved his sleeve, and the Five Elements Divine Qi exploded, shattering the essence of the red tide wherever it went.

This immortal has reshaped his physical body into a human form for easier movement.

Otherwise, if a horned demon were to follow behind, it would definitely attract a lot of attention and cause unnecessary trouble.

Su Yu stood still, opened the map, examined it carefully for a while, and then flew in one of the directions with the spirit puppet.

As the spirit puppet continuously activated its divine power, any approaching Crimson Tide essence within a two- to three-kilometer radius was shattered into dust. A constant stream of killing experience converged upon him, occasionally granting him a few points of cultivation.

Two hours later, Su Yu suddenly stopped and opened her communication device to check the message Chu Tao had sent:
"Is Brother Su still in this area?"

"Still."

"Have you heard that someone destroyed the Horned Demons' Smoke City?"

"heard."

Chu Tao's tone was full of amazement:

"I wonder which big shot on the Prodigy Ranking made the move, actually managing to break through the defenses of Yanbo City, which was guarded by an Earth Immortal. I heard that this wave of Horned Demons suffered heavy losses, not only losing one Earth Immortal General, but also losing over a million people and crippling at least five or six million. What an impressive achievement!"

苏瑜
"How do you know so clearly?"

"The Divine Mirror of the Void? The merits have already been settled. Lieutenant and above have the authority to check, and Major and above have the authority to know all the details."

"Is it still possible?"

"You're only finding out now? It's a pity that the big shot I know only released the general plot. The specific details and who made the move couldn't be released without the consent of the parties involved. Otherwise, I would definitely have gone over and clung to his coattails."

Chu Tao sighed for a moment, then changed the subject and asked:
"By the way, we received news that Crimson Cloud Island in the southeast is being besieged by a large red tide, with seven super bosses over level 200 inside. Crimson Cloud Island's defense is comparable to that of Misty Wave Island. We could try to take it on. Do you want to go?"

Having tasted the sweetness of Yanbo City, Su Yu's eyes immediately lit up, and she said:

"Count me in."

"Okay, come to this place to meet up."

They sent a coordinate along with the message. Su Yu glanced at it and saw that it was over 7,000 kilometers away, not too far.

"Wait for me for an hour."

"No rush, we still need to wait for the others, they can arrive within ten hours."

"OK."

With the communication shut down, Su Yu smiled and reached out to open the Zhenhai Realm Gate, summoning the five women and Ao Run. They chatted casually as they charged forward.

"PS: I've added a patch to change the Spirit Treasure to Celestial Treasure, which is also known as Celestial Artifact. All Spirit Treasures mentioned earlier have been changed. In addition, several other settings have been changed, but I forgot which ones. So if you find any conflicting settings in the text, the later settings shall prevail."
