Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 272 Stepping Through Time, The Grand Ceremony of the Dao Child
Sword of Time - Flick of Time (Dao Foundation): Allows you to return to any point 300 seconds ago. Costs 5 mana. Cooldown: 24 hours.

For every additional 1 point added to the existing Time Law (+10), Time Reversion increases by 20 seconds.

Sword of Time - Time Stop (Dao Foundation): The sword freezes time for 5-15 seconds, consumes 3 mana, and has a 24-hour cooldown.

For every 5 points added to the existing time rule (plus 10), the stillness time increases by 1-3 seconds.

Time Manipulation - Manipulating Time: Allows you to move up and down the river of time, strike the target 5 minutes in advance, consumes 10 mana, and has a 10-day cooldown.

For every additional 1 point added to the existing time rule of +10, the maximum slashing time increases by 1 minutes.

Time and Time Divine Power - Stepping on Time: Stepping on the river of time, unaffected by any magic, invincible for 3 seconds. In this state, the cooldown time of all skills and spells is refreshed, with a cooldown time of 30 days.

For every 5 points added to the existing Time Law (+10), the invincibility time increases by 1 second.

"Very good, as expected of the Law of Time."

The newly mastered divine power is a rare life-saving ability, granting invincibility for three seconds. During these three seconds, even immortals cannot harm him, making it useful for both self-preservation and tribulation transcendence.

With this supernatural power, even the final wave of the great calamity between heaven and man in the future can be blocked.

After closing the control panel, Su Yu let out a soft breath and ordered the fleet to remain stationary.

At this point, the Celestial Gods' branch had been captured, and the few remaining survivors were no longer a threat. The resurrection point was still there, but few Celestial Gods members resurrected there; they had probably already returned to their own headquarters to resurrect.

This place was originally the headquarters of the Thousand Feather Society. Su Yu sent a telepathic message to Ding Lingyu, instructing them to take over the defense.

He could tell that Ding Lingyu and Ding Hao both had the idea of ​​completely merging into the Thousand Star Palace, but he didn't have that idea. He would let them leave after he eliminated the Heavenly God Society.

Su Yu had decided long ago that there would be no fourth main team within the guild; three would be enough.

After the fleet stopped here, it did not move again and waited for five days. Another 200,000 people came from Wan Du Island, bringing the total number to 400,000, which is close to half of the total population of Qianxing Palace.

But there was still no action, and the team remained stationary.

The ordinary members were very confused, but the guild leaders knew exactly what was going on.

On the sixth day, a group from the Celestial Gods Society arrived from Blue Mountain, requesting an audience with Su Yu.

Su Yu received them in the newly renovated council hall of Qianyu City.

There were seven people in total, including three loose immortals. The man in the middle asked in a deep voice:
"He Yuqing, Vice President of the Heavenly God Society, has come to visit President Su Yu on the orders of the President. Your Society has suddenly launched an attack on our Society and declared a full-scale war against us. Is this true?"

"Yes."

Su Yu raised an eyebrow and said calmly.

He Yuqing's expression quickly became more serious, and he asked in a deep voice:

"Our Heavenly God Society and the Thousand Star Palace are millions of kilometers apart. We have no past conflicts of interest or grudges. Why are you suddenly launching a war against our society?"

"President Su, do you know that this is just a branch of our association? Our headquarters and main forces are in the Endless Forest. Our association has nearly two million official members and over a hundred loose immortals. Most of them are inner disciples of the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect. Our president is also a true disciple of the previous generation of the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect. He has extensive connections and can invite hundreds of loose immortals to help him at any time."

"Your organization has been established for less than ten years. Although you have a sufficient number of members, you only have a dozen or so loose immortals. Please forgive my bluntness, but I don't know what makes your organization dare to wage a full-scale war against my Heavenly Gods Society."

Before Su Yu could answer, He Yuqing clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, saying:
"The conflict between the two associations will only cause casualties. Our association does not wish to add to the casualties. If your association withdraws now, our association can pretend that this matter never happened."

Su Yu listened to him speak eloquently, tilting her head to the side, and only smiled after he finished speaking in one breath:

"Our association has mobilized hundreds of thousands of people. If they withdraw because of your words, wouldn't we be laughed at?"

He Yuqing's expression gradually turned cold, and his voice became indifferent as well:

"Judging from Chairman Su's words, does he intend to fight this association to the death?"

He looked down at Ding Hao and said:

"Just because of them? Is it necessary to let millions of people die?"

Su Yu stood up, waved her hand, and said:
"First, let me correct one issue. The main reason for declaring war on the Celestials is not them. As you said, I cannot afford to pay such a high price because of them."

He Yuqing became puzzled again:

"Then why?"

"I have a grudge against your association!"

What grudge do you hold against me?

"First, several years ago, your guild attacked a demon cave in the Demon Ape Kingdom. I was watching from the sidelines when you cleared the area without informing me and almost killed me."

"Secondly, the Thousand Feather Guild was the guild I came from. You destroyed the Thousand Feather Guild just for the sake of competition. This is the second grudge."

"Third, Ye Xiyi is a member of your association, right? He also wanted to sabotage me in private for the sake of competition, but he was not confident enough to carry it out."

"Fourth, your Heavenly God Society has engaged in malicious competition to monopolize the Tongming lineage's core cultivation method, using off-site methods to suppress other disciples, including destroying the disciples' guilds and families. This is extremely vile and a cancer on our sect. I will not allow it."

He Yuqing: ? ? ?

He understood the first part, but he laughed at the last part.

"You're certainly meddling in other people's business. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were one of them!"

After hearing this, He Yuqing knew that saying anything more was useless, so he stood up and said coldly:
"The president of this association only sent me to persuade President Su because we are fellow disciples. But since President Su is determined to go his own way, let's see who has the final say. I hope that when our army arrives at Ten Thousand Poisons Island, President Su will still be so stubborn."

"Farewell!" With a flick of his sleeve, he turned and left.

Su Yu did not stop him. With a smile on her lips, she watched his figure disappear and waved to Ding Lingyu.

Ding Lingyu immediately came over, and Su Yu said:

"I'll give you a task."

“The Heavenly God Society is definitely not the only one engaging in malicious competition and suppression. Go back to your sect and contact those Tongming disciples who have been maliciously suppressed to obtain evidence of their suppression. It would be best if someone could testify. It is best to prepare sufficient evidence within ten days, as I will have a great use for you.”

Ding Lingyu immediately agreed:
"Okay, I'll go back right away."

"Do you have an internal teleportation talisman? Teleport directly."

"Have."

"Well, let's go."

Su Yu waved for him to leave, then pondered for a moment before saying to Gu Zhi Qiu:

"The fleet shall remain stationed until I give the order to depart."

Gu Zhi Qiu nodded in agreement, but did not leave immediately. Su Yu looked up and saw that he seemed hesitant, and asked:
"Any thing else?"

Gu Zhi Qiu nodded and said:
"Although our guild is powerful and has three super floating immortal ships, as he just said, Thousand Mile Palace has been established for over a hundred years and has accumulated far more experience than us. They can gather hundreds of loose immortals to help us. Our combat strength at the top level is far inferior. Can we defeat them?"

Su Yu laughed heartily upon hearing this:

"Can a large number of sheep defeat a fierce tiger?"

"No need to worry, I am fully confident."

His confident demeanor was infectious, and Gu Zhi Qiu's worry vanished. He clasped his hands in a fist salute and strode away.

Then Su Yu issued several more orders, and the fleet waited on the spot before turning into a streak of light and disappearing into the horizon.

More than three hours later, a stream of magnetic light appeared in Blue Ocean City, and then teleported back to the sect.

Upon returning to the sect, Su Yu immediately paid respects to his grandmaster and recounted his conflict with the Heavenly God Society, stating unequivocally:

"I intend to hold the Dao Child Ceremony to uphold justice in the name of the Dao Child!"

Xuanwei Daoist said in a deep voice:

"To dare to turn one sect into one is utterly outrageous. The sect leader and everyone in the sect will support you in this matter, so you may proceed with it."

"As for the Dao Child Ceremony, preparations have already begun before you arrived, and it can be held at any time. You can decide for yourself."

"This disciple wishes to hold the Dao Child Ceremony in one month."

"no problem!"

Three days later, a decree from the sect leader ignited the entire sect and quickly spread throughout the Blue Mountain Islands.

"Disciple Su Yu, with outstanding virtue and superb cultivation, has established a superior immortal foundation. By decree of the Ancestral Master, he is hereby specially appointed as the Dao Son of this sect, bestowed with the Daoist title of Shao Zhen, and is the head of the disciples of this sect. He has the authority to supervise and examine disciples. He is granted a Xuanzhen Cave Heaven Immortal Island and equipped with the Dao Son's ceremonial regalia. A Dao Son Ceremony will be held one month from now, to be announced to all sects under heaven!"

As soon as the announcement was made, Su Yu's personal communications were immediately flooded with countless messages.

Countless people, both acquaintances and strangers, sent him their congratulations.

"Excellent Immortal Foundation, Taoist Master of the Immortal Sect!"

He Yuqing, who had just returned from Flying Star Island, was stunned upon hearing the news. After a long while, he murmured:
"No wonder they dared to declare war on my Heavenly Gods Society, so that's the reason!"

Another high-ranking member of the Celestial Gods Society gave Jiang Lang a cold look and said to the young man sitting at the head of the table, deep in thought:

"President, Su Yu is actually a disciple of our sect. How should we handle this? Should we continue fighting, or..."

"I think we should keep fighting. So what if he's Daozi? How many guilds can Daozi take on? Guild wars depend on overall strength. So what if he's strong on his own? He's Daozi, and our guild leader was once his disciple."

He Yuqing hesitated for a moment, then said:

"But he is, after all, a disciple of our sect and has the authority to monitor the disciples of our sect. We still need to survive in the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect, so it won't be good to offend him in the future."

"So what? He's just a newly promoted Daoist, and his reputation hasn't been established yet. How can he compare to the Guild Master?"

The other high-ranking members of the Celestial Gods Society in the hall nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, so what if he's Daozi? Our organization has been operating within the Tongming lineage for so many years. Does he think he can just point fingers at us like a newcomer?"

The high-ranking members of the Celestial Gods Society discussed amongst themselves and quickly reached a consensus, deciding to fight against the Thousand Star Palace.

Tang Xingye, the president of the Heavenly God Society who had been sitting at the head of the table, snapped out of his daze and waved his hand, saying:
"Don't take action yet. Let's wait until after the Dao Child Ceremony."

The senior executives all nodded in agreement:

"Then let's wait until after the Daoist Ceremony to discuss it."

"Also, find a middleman to arrange another meeting with him."

"I'll make arrangements."

The news of the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect's Dao Child Ceremony spread throughout the entire sect in just two days. A week later, all sects in the Blue Mountain Islands and all forces in the four seas (east, west, south, north, and north) received the news, and many invited sects sent their members to prepare generous gifts and depart to attend the Dao Child Ceremony.
