Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 298 Expansion, Obstacles, Fighting the Earth Immortal (Seeking guaranteed monthly votes)
"PS: Brothers, please vote for me at the beginning of the month."

A month later, the Thousand Star Palace on Wandu Island officially issued an external expansion notice, requiring all large guilds within a 500 million kilometer radius of Wandu Island to either disband, move away from the East China Sea, or be disbanded and merged into the Thousand Star Palace within six months.

The news caused an uproar throughout the East China Sea.

"The Thousand Star Palace has finally stopped hiding their ambitions."

In an internal meeting of the Flying Star Islands and the Flying Star Guild Alliance, Wang Hongwei, the president of the Wanlong Society, slammed his fist on the table and said in a deep voice:

"In recent years, the Thousand Star Palace has expanded rapidly, with its personnel increasing six or seven times, and four or five hundred loose immortals have emerged. This is clearly an attempt to take action against the surrounding areas."

Deng Hongyu, the leader of the Poseidon Gang, nodded and said in a deep voice:
"Although there are many islands of varying sizes around Wan Du Island, their scale and resources are limited, which is completely insufficient to support the existence of a super guild with four or five million official members. They will definitely deal with us after conquering the surrounding areas."

Another guild leader said:
"With the current scale of the Thousand Star Palace, coupled with the powerful strength and status of its president Su Yu, neither we nor the Divine Boat Alliance can be their match."

He looked at Kong Luoshu, the leader of the alliance, and said loudly:
"I think we should put aside our conflict with the Divine Ship Alliance for now and unite to drive the Thousand Star Palace out."

Kong Luoshu tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and only spoke after everyone had finished:
"Zhang Bonan, the president of the Shenzhou Gang, has already contacted me about this matter. If the Thousand Star Palace really intends to advance into the Flying Star Islands, the two alliances will unite."

"Keep this matter confidential for now. Let's observe the Thousand Star Palace's actions first. Perhaps their target isn't the East Sea but rather the Endless Forest!"

No one responded, because everyone knew it was impossible.

Two months after the announcement, more than four million members of the Thousand Star Palace split into three groups and launched an attack on the island of Ten Thousand Poisons from the east, south and north.

One million guild members in each direction, with three main groups each responsible for one route, and each having a Tier 7 Sky Strike Ship.

The rear command has one million guild members, with an eighth-tier Heavenly Punishment Immortal Ship and a Heavenly Strike Ship stationed there, ready to support any side at any time.

Su Yu didn't even have to make a move. The three armies swept through the three sea areas, conquering all the large and small guilds in one fell swoop.
"President, this is intelligence from the Southern Route Army."

Su Yu, who was cultivating in the Five Elements Grotto, received a message from Gu Zhi Qiu:
"The southern army was blocked at Chimen Island, 320 million kilometers southeast of Wandu Island. Chimen Island is the Daoist temple of a terrestrial immortal named Chixia Zhenren, who has many disciples. The southern army will probably have difficulty conquering it."

"What is the strength of that Crimson Cloud True Person? What is his reputation like? How many disciples does he have? Are there any experts among them? Does he have any affiliated guilds?"

Gu Zhiqi immediately replied:
"That True Person Chixia is level 237, an unparalleled master, and possesses a tenth-tier magic weapon. He has a good reputation, with over 200,000 players having joined his sect. However, he only has thirteen direct disciples; the rest are outer disciples recruited by his disciples."

"Of the thirteen disciples, eight are natives and five are players. The highest level is 186. The strongest player is Di Zhengfeng, who is level 142 and has reached the second-grade Dao Foundation stage. He has established a large guild called the Crimson Cloud Society, which basically includes all the disciples."

"Well"

Su Yu thought for a moment and replied:
"Have the fleet stand by, I'm coming right away."

"it is good."

After closing the communication, Su Yu pinched the bridge of her nose and sent a telepathic message to Qing Chan, who was currently a guest at Chu Xinyue's place on Gengjin Peak:
"I'm going out."

"Honey, be careful."

"Ah."

After shutting down the communication, Su Yu transformed into a streak of light and flew out of the cave. Once she determined her direction, she transformed into a stream of magnetic light and vanished in a flash.

The magnetic light escaped at an extremely high speed, covering a distance of more than three million kilometers in just a few hours.

A flash of light appeared in the void, and a figure appeared out of thin air. What came into view was a large island floating on the vast and boundless sea.

The island is not very large, with a diameter of only about four or five hundred kilometers. The island is extremely high, averaging seventy or eighty meters above sea level. In the center of the island is a mountain peak several thousand meters high. Buildings are scattered all over the island and the mountain peak. At this moment, the entire island is shrouded in a huge defensive barrier.

The sky outside the island was filled with countless figures, arranged in neat square formations, completely surrounding the island.

As soon as Su Yu appeared, his second brother and his men came forward to greet him, and the men all bowed to him.

"President!"

The second brother said in a deep voice:

"Di Zhengfeng from the Crimson Cloud Society just sent a message saying that if we agree to one condition, he is not only willing to lead the entire Crimson Cloud Society to surrender and join us, but also willing to persuade the Crimson Cloud Taoist to become an honored member of our society and help us conquer Flying Star Island."

Su Yu shook her head without even thinking and said:
"I disagree. We should directly attack this island and kill Daoist Chixia."

Su Huan exclaimed in surprise:
"This is a terrestrial immortal! Having another terrestrial immortal will greatly reduce the pressure when we deal with the Divine Boat Sect and the Flying Star Sect."

Su Yu chuckled and said:

"I can conquer two sects head-on even without him."

"Moreover, you only see the benefits brought by a single Earth Immortal, but you don't see the harm they bring. If they join the guild on this condition, they will definitely demand a certain degree of independence, such as wanting to become the guild's fourth main force group."

"Furthermore, if we make Daoist Chixia a guild honoree, and Di Zhengfeng is Daoist Chixia's disciple, their combined influence within the guild will reach an extremely high level. If I am away for an extended period in the future, and you are the main force, how will you suppress them if they cause trouble?"

Given Su Yu's demonstrated strength and rapid growth, the likelihood of them causing trouble is low. But one can never be too careful, so why not nip that possibility in the bud?
After hearing his explanation, Su Huan nodded and said, "I understand."

"Go and give them a final notice, and launch the attack after one incense stick's time."

"it is good!"

Su Huan turned and flew towards Crimson Cloud Island, loudly conveying Su Yu's decision to the Crimson Cloud Society.

There's no room for negotiation on this. It's impossible for the guild to have a fourth main force, not even for Fourth Sister and Ninth Brother.

Su Yu had already made arrangements for the placement of her fourth sister and ninth brother. She would start them as squad leaders to gradually learn management skills, and then see which aspect they were good at. If they were practical, they could become captains in the future; if they were more idealistic, they could serve as managers or ministers in the guild.

Once they've stayed in the guild long enough and accumulated enough seniority or merit, Su Yu plans to arrange a dojo for each of them as their foundation for the future, to be passed down through generations.

Su Yu didn't expect them to be of much help to her in the future; she hoped they would have children as soon as possible and have more offspring.

"Ok?"

As he was pondering, a beam of white light suddenly flew out from Crimson Cloud Island, transforming into an old man with white hair and beard. The old man bowed respectfully to Su Yu from afar and said in a deep voice:

"I am Chixia, and I have lived in seclusion here for many years, detached from worldly affairs. I beg you, Daoist Xuanzhen, to show leniency. I hereby swear that I will never be your enemy."

Su Yu concentrated for a moment and then asked:
"Your eighth disciple told me that he will persuade you to become an honored member of our association. Are you willing?"

A thought struck Daoist Chixia. He recalled his disciple's words: the Thousand Star Palace was powerful, but it lacked Earth Immortals as its retainers. If he could become one of its retainers, he would undoubtedly enjoy a very high status and abundant resources. Then, working together with his disciple from within, wouldn't that be wonderful?

He smiled and said:

"If I were to refuse the invitation from Daozi, I would be out of touch with reality."

Su Yu smiled, and Daoist Chixia felt relieved. Just as he was about to mention his conditions, he saw Su Yu's expression turn serious, and he said loudly:

"You say you're indifferent to worldly affairs, but you actually have ulterior motives. Our organization is too small to withstand the combined efforts of you and your disciples."

With a wave of his hand, he shouted loudly:

"Thousand Star Palace, heed my command: Attack!"

The well-prepared Thousand Star Palace immediately launched an attack. Countless flying swords and magical treasures rained down like meteors, and countless Gu Refining players released Gu clouds. Tens of millions of Gu worms transformed into a massive insect cloud that swooped down, its scale blotting out the sky.

Seeing this, Daoist Chixia was both shocked and furious:
"You've gone too far, junior!"

With a wave of his hand, he produced a golden ring and shouted sharply:
"Today, on behalf of your elders, I will teach you what a terrestrial immortal is!"

With a wave of his hand, the primordial energy in the world fluctuated violently, instantly condensing into a colossal hand several kilometers in size that slammed down.

The grappling technique is small, but extremely solid; an ordinary cultivator could probably be captured with a single palm strike.

At the same time, he threw the golden ring in his hand, which spun rapidly in the air, and beams of golden light exploded out in rings, sweeping over like blades.

He then summoned another pagoda and threw it above his head. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a giant tower thousands of feet tall and flew over. A vortex emerged from the hollow at the base of the tower, and a powerful gravitational force descended, attempting to immobilize Su Yu.

"Well done!"

Su Yu's figure flickered and transformed into his four-headed, eight-armed fighting form. He pointed to the top of his head, and a wisp of azure energy rose up, transforming into a green cloud canopy that directly negated the gravity of the thousand-foot-tall tower.

The first pair of arms gripped the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe and cleaved it down, pouring 100,000 units of magical power into the axe and drawing out a jet-black axe beam that swept across the sky, slicing the towering giant hand in two.

The second pair of arms gripped the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow with one hand and drew back the bowstring with the other. A second later, a dazzling streak of light pierced the sky.

The third pair of arms wielded swords and slashed repeatedly, unleashing bursts of sword energy to meet the incoming golden ring. A series of crackling explosions rang out as the golden light burst and the sword energy shattered, and the two sides were evenly matched for a time.

"You've got some skills!"

Jinxia Zhenren snorted coldly, his figure swayed and rapidly expanded, instantly transforming into a thousand-foot-tall Earth Immortal Dharma Form. He opened his mouth and spat out tens of thousands of divine thunderbolts that took shape and crashed down. Immediately afterwards, his sky-covering hand grasped the thousand-foot-tall giant tower and slammed it towards the Azure Cloud Canopy.

"boom!"

The mountain-like magic weapon crashed down, but the Azure Cloud Canopy remained unmoved, not even trembling. Only a ripple appeared in the azure clouds, and its defensive power instantly decreased by 325 million.

But the next second, 3250 points of mana were injected into the magic weapon, and the reduced defense was instantly restored.

青云宝盖的法力转化率是1000，1点法力就能恢复1000点防御力，325万防御力只需要3250点法力就能恢复满。

With his current Dao Foundation level of 55 and mana regeneration rate of 350, he can withstand the attack for a long time even if he stands still.

This is the value of a tenth-tier divine defensive magic weapon, and it's even a top-grade one. The only thing stronger than the Azure Cloud Canopy is a celestial-level defensive magic weapon.
