Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 313 Joining the Upper Sect, Immortal Accepting Disciples, Guangcheng Heavenly Book (6K)

In the misty, celestial palace, sat a dozen or so figures surrounded by the aura of laws and Dao. Two were above, one on the left and one on the right, while the dozen or so were below, with faint Daoist auras rippled back and forth in the hall.

"Reporting to the Sect Leader and the Supreme Elder, this year the various inspectors have reported eighteen potential immortals, and their information is here."

"Send it up!"

A moment later, more than a dozen streaks of light flew in all directions, and a loud voice rang out:

"Elders who are interested in taking on disciples are also welcome to take a look."

The hall fell silent, remaining quiet for a long time.

Several minutes later, the loud voice rang out again:

"Does the Supreme Elder have someone in mind?"

A few moments later, an aged voice rang out:

"Numbers one, five, six, thirteen, and eighteen are acceptable."

The loud voice rang out again:

"Number One comes from the Heavenly Eye Clan. He is a Super Grade Dao Foundation cultivator with a Dao Foundation level of nine. He has the innate Divine Eye Space attribute and can emit Divine Light of Disintegration, which is extremely powerful."

"Number Five comes from the Snake-People Clan. Although their race is not outstanding, they are of the highest grade. Now, with their cultivation at the eighth grade of Dao Foundation, they have already mastered the Law of Water and have the potential to become immortals."

"Number Six is ​​from the human race. He is also a super-grade Dao Foundation cultivator, with a cultivation level of the eighth grade of Dao Foundation. Whether he has mastered the laws is unknown, but he possesses a very powerful True Dragon bloodline and a super-powerful True Dragon Transformation. He has successfully combined his bloodline with the transformation, and not long ago, his bloodline and transformation successfully survived the Heavenly Tribulation."

"Number Thirteen comes from the Merfolk. He is a top-grade Dao Foundation cultivator, at the ninth rank of Dao Foundation. He has mastered the Law of Water and has reached +10 or more. He has the potential to become an immortal."

"Number 18 comes from the Thunder God Clan. He is a top-grade Dao Foundation cultivator with an eighth-grade Dao Foundation cultivation. He has awakened the talent of becoming a Thunder God and has mastered the laws of thunder. He has the potential to become an immortal."

The loud voice from the upper left asked:

"I wonder if the Supreme Elder has someone in mind?"

An aged voice rang out:
"Number 13 can join my sect, while Number 1 and Number 18 can choose to undergo an introductory trial."

"can."

The loud voice rang out again:
"Bloodline number six has been upgraded to the Celestial Immortal level. Feedback from the bloodline indicates that becoming an immortal in the future is almost certain. Does the Supreme Elder no longer want to consider it?"

After a brief silence, an aged voice rang out:
"Success and failure both depend on bloodline. Since the fall of the Ancestral Dragon, the bloodline of the True Dragon Clan has become increasingly difficult to improve. Although this child has a good foundation, he is limited by his bloodline and can only reach the limit of becoming a Celestial Immortal. Becoming a True Immortal is almost impossible. I want to cultivate a True Immortal, but this child does not meet the requirements."

The figure on the left nodded and turned to look down:
"Since the fifth and sixth seeds have not been selected, do any of you elders have someone in mind?"

Immediately, a tall figure surrounded by red light raised his hand and said:
“I also follow the path of bloodline. Seed number six is ​​similar to me and I am willing to accept him as my disciple.”

The headmaster nodded and said:
"good!"

Then another immortal chose seed number five, and the sect leader announced the end of the meeting. Streams of light shot into the sky and disappeared.

Su Yu waited there for half a day before Yu Xian returned. Upon seeing him, she said:

"I have good news and bad news. Which would you like to hear first?"

"Let's hear the bad news first!"

"The bad news is that the Supreme Elder wanted to take on two disciples this year, but he didn't choose you."

"Good news!"

"The good news is that Elder Ye Lingfeng, the deputy hall master of our sect's law enforcement hall, is very interested in your situation and is willing to take you under his wing."

"Elder Ye Lingfeng"

Yu Xian nodded and said:
"Yes, Elder Ye Lingfeng also follows the bloodline path and has a wealth of experience in this area. If you become his disciple, with your Heavenly Immortal-level True Dragon Incarnation, it's a sure thing that you'll overcome the Heavenly Tribulation and become an immortal in the future."

"Well"

"Of course, these are all suggestions. If you are not willing, I can introduce you to other elders. If you still prefer the Supreme Elder, you can also sign up for the entrance trial. If you perform exceptionally well and impress the Supreme Elder, you may also have the opportunity to become his disciple."

Su Yu remained silent, but the information he had learned from his clansmen yesterday about the elders of their sect, including the details of the Supreme Elder and Elder Ling Feng, had already surfaced in his mind.

The Supreme Elder, once the pillar of the Xuanqing Sect, was severely injured and greatly weakened during the sect's upheaval 60,000 years ago. For the next 60,000 years, he struggled to maintain the sect, accumulating further damage. He hasn't fought since becoming a True Immortal as the sect leader over 20,000 years ago, suggesting his injuries are extremely severe and his lifespan is limited.

Elder Lingfeng is a powerful elder of the Xuanqing Upper Sect and the deputy head of the Law Enforcement Hall, one of the five halls.

He is level 376 and follows the path of becoming a saint through bloodline and physical body. Like Su Yu, he can switch freely between human body and bloodline. He is extremely powerful and is among the top-tier combat power in the sect, second only to the two True Immortals.

On one side is the Supreme Elder, and on the other side is the Top Elder. Logically speaking, the Supreme Elder is better.

But if they don't like you, there's nothing you can do.

If one side looks down on you, and the other side thinks highly of you, what are you hesitating for?
It's like getting married; you'll definitely be more comfortable after marriage if you choose a wife who loves you.

Of course, the premise is that the elder you choose can't be too bad. If an old, frail elder who is about to pass away takes a liking to you, then I'm sorry.

Elder Ye Lingfeng is quite good. He is among the top-tier combatants in the sect and the deputy hall master of the Enforcement Hall. His strength and status are both top-notch. He will have enough power to protect me if I cause trouble outside in the future.

Su Yu shrugged, having reached a conclusion in her mind:
"Elder, you are too kind. How could I not appreciate your kindness? Please tell Elder Lingfeng that I am willing to become your disciple."

Yu Xian nodded and said:
"I will contact Palace Master Ye Lingfeng now."

A few minutes later, Yu Xian smiled and said to him:

"Elder Ye Lingfeng asked me to take you there."

"Please show me the way, senior."

With a wave of his sleeve, Yu Xian was enveloped in a white cloud that shot into the sky, piercing straight into the heavens.

Elder Ye Lingfeng's dojo is located on a floating immortal island atop the sect.

A few minutes later, the white clouds suddenly stopped in the sky. Su Yu was surprised when she saw Yu Xian wave his sleeve and a barrier appeared in front of her with shimmering light. The two passed through the barrier and their vision suddenly brightened.

"what?"

Su Yu was extremely surprised to find that behind the barrier was not a group of floating islands in the air, but a spatial shift that appeared...
Beneath the sky, above the chaos, lies an endless sea of ​​clouds.

Thick and dense, yet transparent, a faint purple aura and golden light of seven colors pass through the clouds, gathering and dispersing in the ceaseless, slow surging. Sometimes it transforms into billions of auspicious beasts running about, sometimes it condenses into various illusions, sometimes it turns into countless sparkling jade dust, and sometimes it refracts a dreamlike and hazy halo.

Above the peaks and valleys of this vast sea of ​​clouds, celestial palaces float and stand, shrouded in celestial light and surrounded by colorful clouds and spiritual mist.

The graceful blue phoenix and crane soar through the sea of ​​clouds.

Beasts and celestial horses galloped in herds, riding on auspicious clouds.

Su Yu looked up and saw that in the deeper part of the Cloud Sea Cave, the rosy light gathered to form layers of distinct colors and levels of flowing light. Inside, the rosy light flowed, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and looking directly at it, one could vaguely feel a heart-palpitating power.

Occasionally, one might sense something, and vaguely see an enormous body, like a continuous mountain range, flashing through the clouds, leaving only ring-shaped vortexes of mist to prove its existence.

"This is the lower level of the Xuanqing Cave Heaven!"

Yu Xian reached out and stroked it, saying with a proud expression:

"This grotto was created by the founding ancestor of our sect and is one of our sect's greatest treasures. Ordinary disciples cannot enter; only core disciples can enter and can only move around in the lower level."

At this point, he said to Su Yu with a serious expression:
"Don't trespass on the upper levels. Losing your life is a small matter; you'll be severely punished, and in serious cases, your disciple status will be revoked."

"Junior, remember this."

"Of course, if rare treasures sometimes fall from the upper levels of the cave, you can pick them up."

"Ah."

As Yu Xian introduced the place, they unknowingly traversed an extremely long distance and arrived at the depths of the sea of ​​clouds. In the distance, they saw a colossal creature floating on the sea of ​​clouds. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an enormous tortoise with a shell that had transformed into a vibrant, radiant fairy island.

The island is covered with verdant mountains, bathed in the glow of the setting sun, and dotted with exotic trees and rare herbs, with winding streams creating a vibrant and lively scene.

Su Yu looked towards the center of the island, where a seven-colored ray of light shot out, supporting a magnificent golden palace in the air. As the light fell, the glazed tiles, resembling dragon scales and phoenix feathers, shimmered with dazzling rainbow light.

Yu Xian led him over the mountains and straight to the center of the island, where they stopped in front of the palace.

In front of the palace was a white jade platform, and a young man and woman stood at the entrance, bowing to Yu Xian.
"Zijin and Yingxin greet Uncle Yu."

Then they scrutinized Su Yu with a critical eye, judging from their expressions, they probably already knew what was going on.

Su Yu clasped his hands in a salute:
"Su Yu greets Senior Brother and Senior Sister."

"Junior Brother Su, you're too kind. Master is still waiting. Please!"

At this moment, Yu Xian waved, and Su Yu immediately followed.

Upon entering the hall, Su Yu's first sight was a red jade unicorn, its body covered in dragon scales as precious as jade, lying on a throne deep within the hall surrounded by flames and flowing light. As the unicorn breathed, the flames and flowing light flowing down from the ceiling of the hall continuously merged into the unicorn's body like moths to a flame.

"Is this Elder Ye Lingfeng?"

Yu Xian said with a smile:

"Senior Brother Ye, I've found you a good disciple. How will you thank me?"

The red jade unicorn opened its eyes, and the hall suddenly lit up. Su Yu immediately felt his whole body sink, as if the sky were collapsing and the whole world was pressing down on him. The unimaginable power made him subconsciously transform into his four-headed, eight-armed fighting true form to barely withstand it.

"what?"

The red jade unicorn raised its eyelids, and a surge of immortal light enveloped its entire body. After a short while, it lowered its gaze, revealing a middle-aged, robust man with a full head of red hair, dressed in a red robe, sitting upright on a jade throne, a hint of surprise on his face:
"Interesting, his potential is indeed quite good, just as my junior brother said."

As soon as he finished speaking, without any visible movement, the pressure in the world instantly doubled, and the Fighting True Body shuddered violently and bent slightly downwards.

"Blood and Qi Smoke!"

His blood and qi surged to the sky, and he managed to withstand the sudden increase in pressure.

"Great, let's do it again!"

The burly man snapped his fingers, and an invisible wave swept across the area, causing the pressure to surge several times over.

"The laws of heaven and earth!"

The Fighting True Body rapidly expanded, growing to over a hundred meters in the blink of an eye, its physical strength increasing tenfold to withstand the force of the collapsing sky.

"Okay, continue!"

Ye Lingfeng was not surprised but delighted. He snapped his fingers again. This time, Su Yu could clearly feel the fluctuations of the laws. The pressure increased by more than twenty times in an instant. Even the Law of Heaven and Earth was instantly forced to kneel down.

Without having time to think about how a Fire Qilin could be subject to the Law of Gravity, Su Yu immediately activated his Dragon Transformation.

"Roar!"

An invisible force expanded along with his body, forming a visible arched halo centered on Su Yu, inside which coiled a crimson dragon surrounded by flames and the laws of life.

Under the suppression of even stronger laws, the Crimson Dragon's body was confined to this small area and could not recover its enormous size of hundreds of kilometers.

"Wow!" "A celestial dragon?"

Li Zijing and Li Yingxin, standing at the door, looked up in disbelief.

"it is good!"

Ye Lingfeng stood up abruptly, his eyes gleaming as he looked the Crimson Dragon up and down, his eyes filled with surprise.

"Great, very good."

After a moment, he waved his hand, and an invisible force forcibly reverted Su Yu's transformed form back to her true form. He then said with a kind expression:

"That's enough, no need to transform anymore."

Turning back to his throne, he said in a deep voice:

"Su Yu, I wish to take you as my personal disciple and devote all my efforts to helping you achieve true immortality. Are you willing?"

Su Yu immediately bowed down:

"Su Yu greets Master!"

"Alright, disciple, get up quickly."

An invisible force lifted him up. Ye Lingfeng thought for a moment, then reached out and took out a brocade pouch woven with gold thread, which flew towards him.
"This is a gift from your master to you as you become a disciple. In addition, Red Jade Peak on the Immortal Island will be allocated to you as your training ground."

"Thank you, Master, for the treasure!"

“Zijin, Yingxin.”

Two people immediately stepped forward from the doorway:

"The disciple is here."

"Send your junior brother Su Yu to Hongyu Peak, and while you're at it, inform him about the situation within our sect."

Then, looking at Su Yu, he instructed her:

"Go back first, and come back tomorrow to continue practicing our sect's mental cultivation method. Also, every three months at the beginning of the month, your master will give you a sermon."

"Disciple knows."

After bidding farewell to their master, the three of them left the hall, and he bowed to the two of them with clasped hands.
"Su Yu greets her senior brothers and sisters, and hopes to receive your guidance."

The two senior students introduced themselves respectively:

"I am Li Yingxin, your fourth senior brother, and I live on Lanyu Peak."

“I am Li Zijin, your fifth senior sister. I live on Qingyu Peak. You are ranked seventh under Master.”

"Above us are our eldest senior brother, second senior brother, third senior brother, and below us are our sixth junior sister."

"Among them, the eldest and third senior brothers are Heavenly Eye People, the second senior brother is from the Thunder God Clan, the sixth junior sister is from the Stone Heart Clan, and the two of us and the youngest junior brother are all human."

Seventh Senior Sister suddenly lowered her voice and said:

"Although we are from the same sect, we are not very close because we belong to different races. You should be careful in the future."

"In addition, although Master is the deputy hall master of the Law Enforcement Hall, the resources at his disposal are certainly not enough to allow everyone to become immortal. Therefore, Master will have to compete for the important resources in his hands in the future. At that time, you must not be modest."

"Su Yu thanks her senior brothers and sisters for their guidance."

The three flew and pointed out directions, soon arriving at a mountain peak behind the immortal island, where they said:
"There are thirteen main peaks and several secondary peaks on the island. The central main peak is the master's dojo, and there are twelve other main peaks outside, representing that each peak has a maximum of twelve disciples of the same generation. Your residence is Red Jade Peak."

"Currently, there are only a few spirit puppets managing the peak. After you move in, you can add more spirit puppets yourself, or you can choose up to ten outer disciples to serve you outside the gate."

"Our lineage is named Tianxing, and it has always been part of the Law Enforcement Hall. Above us is a senior master, who is the current head of the Law Enforcement Hall."

"Furthermore, the dragon turtle on the island beneath our feet is the spirit pet of our ancestor from the previous generation. It is hundreds of thousands of years old and spends most of its time in slumber. When it occasionally wakes up and sees you, it should be respectfully addressed as the Turtle Ancestor."

"Oh."

Su Yu recalled what she had seen when she arrived before and asked in surprise:
"I remember that the Turtle Ancestor of Tuo Island was at level 399, only one step away from becoming a True Immortal, yet he hasn't broken through for hundreds of thousands of years?"

Li Yingxin shook his head and said:

"Indeed, it's only a step away, but that step is like an insurmountable chasm. The bloodline of the Turtle Ancestor is insufficient, and coupled with the serious injuries he suffered tens of thousands of years ago, it's almost impossible for him to survive the True Immortal Tribulation."

"Oh!"

While he hesitated, his two senior brothers and sisters had already led him into the Red Jade Peak, introducing him to the basic situation of the Red Jade Peak along the way.

An hour later, the senior brothers and sisters left, leaving Su Yu with many spirit puppets.

Holding the red jade talisman, Su Yu surveyed the numerous buildings and spiritual fields built against the mountain, and let out a soft breath.

"It's another new beginning."

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will live here for a long time.

Now that you've reached the Foundation Establishment stage, the next step is to condense the Golden Core. It takes at least several hundred years to accumulate enough Golden Core, and if things don't go smoothly, it could take even longer, possibly over a thousand years.

Upon entering the main house, Su Yu thought for a moment, then activated the Sea-Suppressing Pearl, summoning the four women, Ao Run, and the Five-Colored Divine Ox. She then took out the Red Jade Immortal Talisman and marked each of them.

Crimson Jade Immortal Talisman (Ninth Tier): A rare treasure, an exclusive token of the core disciples of the Heavenly Punishment lineage of the Xuanqing Upper Sect (soul-bound).

Disciple Permissions: This item is the core disciple certificate of the upper sect and the control core of Red Jade Peak. Holding it allows free entry and exit to most parts of Heavenly Punishment Immortal Island and all parts of Red Jade Peak, and allows teleportation within the sect.

Possessing this item grants 1000 sect contribution points annually.

Celestial Protection: The talisman contains a trace of celestial power. When a disciple perishes, the ancestral master's celestial power protects the primordial spirit, which is then teleported back to the sect to reassemble the physical body. After the celestial power is consumed, the talisman must be offered to the ancestral hall for one month before the celestial power can be reassembled.

Great Teleport: Consumes 10 mana, teleports you to any place you have ever been after 10 seconds, with a one-year cooldown.

Sub-mark: Can mark up to ten people, granting them the right to travel on Red Jade Peak.

After finishing these tasks, Su Yu instructed the four women to thoroughly understand the inside and outside of Hongyu Peak, while he carried Bilong, who was wrapped around his arm, back to the main hall.

Back in the inner hall, the Azure Dragon flew from his hand and landed on the spiritual vein node in the center of the hall. In the mist, it transformed into a stunningly beautiful woman, who lay on a futon and said:

"Young master, the spiritual energy here is so rich, it's no less than that inside the Zhenhai Realm."

Su Yu smiled indulgently:
"You can practice wherever you prefer."

The concentration of spiritual energy here is indeed quite high. You can absorb and refine it every day to gain up to 8 million cultivation points and 400 points of Taoist cultivation.

However, it still can't compare to Zhenhai Pearl.

The spiritual energy concentration in Zhenhai Realm is as high as the sixth level, which is enough to supply the needs of Xuanxian cultivation, while the spiritual energy concentration here is only the upper-grade fourth level, not even the fifth level.

The reason why the spiritual energy experience and cultivation gained here are almost comparable to those of the Zhenhai Pearl is simple: the spiritual energy generated within the Zhenhai Pearl is all impure and primitive, which needs to be transformed into pure spiritual energy by the clearing of the spiritual veins in the ocean before it can be absorbed.

Therefore, the spiritual energy and cultivation that Su Yu could obtain every day was only a very small part of the Zhenhai Realm, less than one-tenth.

It's worth mentioning that the 300 million spiritual energy experience points and 3 cultivation points per day are a thing of the past. That was the effect when Zhenhai Realm first advanced, back when Canghai wasn't even an Earth Immortal.

Canghai's strength has greatly improved. He is now at level 260 or above. The spiritual energy he can cultivate every day is several times that of before. He can now gain up to 9 million spiritual energy experience points and 450 cultivation points every day.

The power of the Heavenly Dao's origin has not increased. This is determined by the level of the Sea-Suppressing Pearl. It will not increase again until the Sea-Suppressing Pearl is upgraded.

Sitting cross-legged in the spirit pool, Su Yu opened the silk pouch given to her by her master to examine it.

10000 Immortal Coins.

A bottle of Purple Mansion Heavenly Origin Pills contains 36 pills. Each pill, when refined, can grant 1000 billion cultivation points or 1 points of Daoist cultivation.

A tenth-tier divine weapon—the Heavenly Gang Demon-Slaying Blade.

Heavenly Gang Demon-Slaying Blade (Tenth Tier): A divine weapon from the celestial realm, capable of slaying anything.

Attributes: 200 million physical attack power + 600% magic damage bonus, attack range 200 kilometers, mana cost 10, additional characteristics: Heavenly Gang, Heavenly Gang Demon Slayer Blade.

Tian Gang: 100% chance to cut through flying swords and magic weapons below the seventh rank, with a certain probability of cutting through flying swords and magic weapons above the seventh rank.

Heavenly Gang Demon-Slaying Blade: Charges for ten seconds to unleash a devastating strike, dealing 10 times the maximum attack as destructive damage, increases armor penetration level by 1, consumes 20 mana, and has a 24-hour cooldown.

"What a divine weapon!"

Su Yu's eyes lit up, and she immediately equipped herself.

Nothing happened that night. The next day, Su Yu got up early and headed to the Central Dragon Turtle Peak.

"Disciple Su Yu greets Master."

Ye Lingfeng smiled and reached out his hand, an invisible force lifting him up as he spoke:
"No need to be polite."

"Now that you've entered the fold, I'll first register your name in the family register."

As he spoke, he reached up and grabbed upwards, and the light from the palace dome converged, condensing into a celestial book that fell down.

Ye Lingfeng reached out and grabbed a wisp of Su Yu's aura, which he then incorporated into the Heavenly Book, condensing it into a symbol on one of its pages. Su Yu immediately sensed a connection between himself and the Heavenly Book.

"Now that you are registered in the clan, if any accident occurs in the future, you can be resurrected here and your physical body can be rebuilt."

"Disciple knows."

Ye Lingfeng waved his hand to retrieve the Heavenly Book and said with a smile:
"Now that you have entered the sect, I will pass on to you the secret methods and true understanding of our sect."

With a wave of his hand, a light screen popped up in front of Su Yu, displaying three mental cultivation methods: the Supreme Profound Scripture, the Nine Heavens Profound Scripture, and the Purple and Green Treasure Record.

"Our sect's founder is Guangchengzi, a Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect. Naturally, he inherited the Guangcheng Heavenly Book, which contains three supreme Daoist techniques. You may choose one to learn."

"Among them, the Supreme Mysterious Scripture is mainly for defense, the Purple and Green Treasure Record is mainly for offense, and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture combines offense and defense, but is weaker in both offense and defense than the former two. You can choose one to learn according to your own situation."

"The three supreme mental techniques are all inherited from the Chan Sect, representing orthodoxy. If you live up to expectations in the future, you will all have the opportunity to go to Taoyuan Cave on Jiuxian Mountain to meet Master Guangcheng."

"This disciple chooses the Nine Heavens Profound Scripture!"

"Can!"

Ye Lingfeng pointed, and the light screen in front of him shattered into countless points of light. Upon closer inspection, they were countless fine runes that converged into a stream of light and merged into his brow.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture (Supreme): The supreme inheritance of the ancient Chan Sect, the highest level of which can lead to becoming a Golden Immortal.

Attributes: For each level increased, HP +500, MP +1000, spell power +500, MP regeneration +1 point/second.

A flash of inspiration struck him, and the cultivation method on the panel changed accordingly.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture (Supreme): The supreme inheritance of the ancient Chan Sect, the highest level of which can lead to becoming a Golden Immortal.

Attributes: For each level increased, HP +1000, MP +2000, spell power +1000, MP regeneration +2 point/second.
