Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 366 Expelling the Three Races, Human Immortals Rewarded for Their Merits

When the chaos dissipated and all the immortals perished, the perpetrator was nowhere to be seen.

The Six-Eared Immortals, who were besieging the Heavenly City from the other three directions, looked at each other in bewilderment and quickly issued an order for their troops to retreat.

An hour later, in a palace within the Six-Eared Man's camp, tens of thousands of kilometers away from the main city of Tianji, the resurrected Six-Eared Man immortals gathered to discuss how to deal with the situation.

"Su Yu's strength is even greater than rumored, which is troublesome."

A True Immortal looked at the assembled immortals and asked in a deep voice:

"Do any of you have a way to deal with him?"

The immortals remained silent, and no one answered for a while before someone spoke:
"That's probably difficult. His strength and speed far surpass ours. He can come and go as he pleases, and no one can stop him. Unless we can set up a sixth-order formation and a trap to lure him over, we might be able to surround and kill him."

But someone immediately disagreed:
"First of all, this is very difficult to do. There are always traces left by the formation, which are easy to spot. Given his strength and speed, we can only force him to stay by using the Golden Immortal Talisman."

"But the problem is that we have no way to nail it down and kill it completely. Once we can't kill it completely, everything else is meaningless."

"Damn it, how can there be such a pervert!"

Everyone was silent.

After a while, someone else said:
"We need to come up with a plan. My idea is that we can't continue the siege until we find a solution. We should retreat and ask headquarters for help."

"Our clan also has some exceptional talents. Send one over, otherwise we can't fight."

"But the clan's few prodigies are all out there training, and one of them is even serving in the Heavenly Court. They won't return unless it's a full-scale war of civilizations."

"Then there's nothing I can do."

Let's discuss this, though it's currently at a standstill.

To deal with a master like Su Yu who possesses the combat power of a Xuanxian, there are only a few methods. One is to use the Golden Immortal Talisman, which can instantly kill him, but there are too few Golden Immortal Talismans, and it is not worth it to kill him completely.

Alternatively, one could use spirit-grade array flags to set up a high-level immortal array, which could also resist or even trap and kill a Xuanxian.

However, battle flags are only useful in positional warfare. They can be used when two armies are locked in a tight confrontation. They are not effective against a single, agile, and powerful enemy, as no one would be foolish enough to charge headlong into the enemy's formation.

The third method is to have a Xuanxian of the same level, or a Zhenxian whose strength far exceeds that of a Zhenxian of the same level, and to possess a very powerful spiritual treasure, in order to resist.

The first two methods are basically hopeless; the real solution is the third method, but unfortunately, neither the Horned Demons nor the Six-Eared People have such a prodigy.

There are very few geniuses who can challenge those of higher levels after reaching the first level of immortality. Such beings are either already powerful immortals who cannot participate in local conflicts, or they are still in the period of rapid growth in their cultivation. They would not stay in their clan to cultivate slowly, but would mostly go to various immortal realms or the four continents to adventure and train.

Just like Su Yu, after this battle, he will return to the Azure Immortal Realm. After returning, he will probably head to the Eastern Divine Continent soon. He won't stay with the human race for long.

It will be difficult for them to come back in the future; coming back once in a century would be considered a rare occurrence.

"boom!"

The sudden, deafening roar startled the group of Six-Eared Immortals who were discussing the matter. Hundreds of figures flashed into the void and saw a violent ring of energy, hundreds of kilometers in diameter, explode not far away. A ninth-tier floating warship was struck by a giant, yellow hammer as large as a mountain and shattered on the spot.

The colossal hammer rapidly shrank, transforming into a streak of light and disappearing into the horizon.

Everyone looked around, but saw nothing.

"grass!"

The group of immortals were furious, but they were helpless and didn't even dare to chase after them.

A minute later, another meteor fell from the sky. The immortals were extremely vigilant and tried to intercept it, but the power of this attack was beyond their imagination. It shattered the two low-grade spiritual treasures that were trying to intercept it and blasted the second floating warship to pieces.

The Chaos Bell Hammer's throw has a cooldown of only 60 seconds, but it consumes 20% of his maximum mana plus 1 million mana. With his current mana, he can only unleash two consecutive hammer blows.

But those two blows shattered their mentality and diminished their fighting spirit.

Meanwhile, Su Yu, tens of millions of kilometers away from them, exhausted his magic power with two consecutive hammer blows, turned around and entered the Chaos Pearl, revealing his true form as he stepped into the chaos to devour the chaotic energy and restore his magic power.

Regardless of whether they were angry or not, he continued to attack according to plan until they either retreated or used the Golden Immortal Talisman to kill him.

An hour later, his magic power was fully restored, and he once again stepped out of the Chaos Gate, raising the Chaos Bell Hammer and smashing it down across tens of millions of kilometers.

It was too far to see with the naked eye, but his divine sense was attached to the Chaos Bell Hammer, and he could adjust the angle to select the target when he got close.

Every one or two hours, two hammer blows would strike, inevitably shattering two floating warships or causing the fall of two immortals.

The power of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure is too fierce; it can instantly kill anyone, regardless of whether they are prepared or not.

After this back-and-forth continued for less than two days, the Six-Eared Man coalition could no longer hold out and began to retreat.

There's absolutely nothing you can do. What can you do when an opponent who's far stronger than you resorts to such underhanded tactics?
There was no other way but to retreat.

A war that brought together billions of players and hundreds of immortals ended abruptly and dramatically.

But in reality, this is the norm; what can you do if you can't win?
The reason why the four races were able to remain deadlocked for tens of thousands of years was because no abnormally powerful expert like him had appeared in any of the four races. Even the occasional genius-level expert of the same level was not able to take on the three races at once, nor could he make his opponent completely helpless.

The emergence of such a powerful being, who can be described as a bug, means that the balance has been broken, and naturally a winner and loser can be determined.

Su Yu pursued relentlessly, smashing dozens of Six-Eared Human Immortals who were covering the retreat, until he drove the Six-Eared Human Alliance back out of the Horned Demon's territory. Just as he was preparing to press his advantage, he received a message from General Li Wumian:

"No need to chase anymore, the Six-Eared Man has surrendered."

"They decided to give up and retreat to headquarters."

"They've already cast it?"

Su Yu was surprised:

Why am I telling you this? Why aren't you surrendering to me?

"I did tell you, but before I could even say anything, you beat me to death."

"what???"

"I thought they were the ones bringing up the rear."

Regardless, the Six-Eared People did indeed retreat, albeit in a half-hearted manner.

According to Li Wumian, all Six-Eared Man players will withdraw within three years.

In addition, Li Wumian has sent an envoy to the Fire Clan to see if they can be persuaded to retreat. If so, there will be no need for another great battle, and the entire Falling Star Island can be taken without bloodshed.

As for the Horned Demons, they had previously killed nearly two hundred Celestial Immortals and many True Immortals, making them mortal enemies. Therefore, they would not negotiate and would instead kill them all back.

This is a good opportunity to make an example of someone.

Half a month after the Six-Eared Clan gave up, the Fire Clan also stopped their attack. However, they did not retreat immediately but instead asked to see his strength.

"Not interested in!"

This is how Su Yu replied to Li Wumian:
"Tell them that they either have to leave obediently, or the two races will clash."

General Wang Ziqing laughed heartily:
"That works. Either they obediently withdraw, or the two races clash, which will weaken their war potential."

Su Yu ignored the ensuing wrangling, since the initiative was in the hands of the human race; if they were not satisfied, they could fight.

During this period, he joined the army to first break through the Heavenly Extreme Main City of the Horned Demons, and then broke through the Heavenly Evolution Main City of the Horned Demons. He also destroyed the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Sect and seized all the Dao techniques of the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Sect, including the half of the Heavenly Book.

Holding half of the celestial book in his hand, Su Yu was filled with emotion.

Tasks that once seemed almost impossible are now just a piece of cake.

Having obtained the Heavenly Book, Su Yu immediately returned to the Blue Mountain Hanging Mountain to find his grandmaster.

When he saw half of the Heavenly Book in the man's hand, Daoist Xuanwei was overjoyed.

"By the patriarch above, today we have finally found the other half of the Heavenly Book."

"You come with me."

He led Su Yu to the Ancestral Hall of Suspended Mountain, lit incense, and Su Yu also lit three sticks of incense. The two of them bowed down together.

"Please, Master, bestow upon us the Dharma!"

After two clear shouts, a stream of light appeared on the dome of the main hall, slowly transforming into a white-haired, white-bearded figure. His gaze fell on Su Yu and Xuanwei Daoist, and with a wave of his sleeve, spatial ripples spread out, revealing a familiar starry sky.

The difference is that last time it was a teleportation to a starry sky, but now it's a starry sky descending.

In the starry sky, billions of stars suddenly lit up, and countless streams of light converged to form a celestial book outlined by flowing light, on which dense tadpole-like spiritual characters swam.

Mysterious Court Treasure Book (Supreme/Peerless): A nameless heavenly book containing the secret cultivation method, which can lead to becoming a Mysterious Immortal.

Attributes: For each level increased, HP +200, MP +400, spell power +200, MP regeneration +0.5 point/second.

This is half of the Xuan Ting Bao Ji (a collection of Buddhist scriptures).

Su Yu looked at his grandmaster, but Xuanwei Daoist looked at him instead, handing over half of the Heavenly Book and saying:
"You are now the head of my Suspended Lineage, and you are the one who will synthesize it."

Su Yu paused slightly, then smiled, took half of the Heavenly Book, and then reached out to take the other half. With a clasp of his hands, the two Heavenly Books merged, and in an instant, countless silver tadpole spirit characters flew out, quickly outlining and forming a whole.

Mysterious Court Immortal Scripture (Supreme): An ancient secret mental cultivation method, 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.

The True Explanation of the Xuan Ting Immortal Scripture (Supreme): A secret auxiliary cultivation method of the Xuan Ting Immortal Scripture, which can be practiced together with the Xuan Ting Immortal Scripture.

Attributes: Based on the cultivation of the Xuan Ting Immortal Scripture, the maximum health and mana are increased by 100%, the maximum mana is increased by 100%, the power of spells is increased by 100%, and the power of all derived Taoist spells is increased by 100%.

"what?"

"There's actually a matching solution?"

This is quite common in the Azure Immortal Realm, but not so common in human civilization. The Qi Refining techniques passed down by sects in human society generally do not have corresponding true explanations.

Most human elites who go to the Azure Immortal Realm either join another sect, switch to a cultivation method with a corresponding true explanation, or practice a universal true explanation. However, the bonuses of a universal true explanation are generally not as strong as those of a dedicated true explanation.

Besides this fundamental technique, he also obtained two supreme-level techniques and three sect-protecting techniques from the Tianyan Immortal Sect, as well as more than ten kinds of profound and exquisite mental cultivation methods, and many advanced forbidden and lightning techniques. He could easily create his own sect.

"This is really something."

With these, the foundation of Suspended Mountain has been directly replenished, and from now on, the elite disciples who come out of Suspended Mountain will definitely be stronger than the disciples of other main branches and branches of Xuanzhen Immortal Sect.

In the future, Suspended Mountain will definitely surpass other main mountain ranges and become the absolute ruler of Blue Mountain.

With such a bright future, Su Yu has truly lived up to his sect's expectations and fully fulfilled his vow upon joining—to bring glory to the sect. The karmic debt has been settled!

After leaving the Hanging Mountain, Su Yu did not go back immediately, but instead took some time to return to Thousand Star Peak to see her son and daughter.

They were eight months old by now. When Su Yu arrived, they were sleeping, wrapped up in brocade cotton clothes, with a pacifier in their mouths, sucking on it unconsciously. They looked very cute.

Su Yu leaned over the crib, staring intently at them. At eight months old, their little faces had already developed quite a bit, and it was clear that their features were very well-defined, having completely inherited their best features. She could look at them endlessly.

After watching for a while, he couldn't help but gently tap their little faces with his finger. The sleeping babies immediately started sucking on their pacifiers, which melted his heart.

"so good!"

Su Yu stared at them intently, growing more and more fond of them. Unable to resist, she gently leaned forward and kissed their little faces, a sweet, milky scent filling the air.

"It smells so good and it's so soft!"

He couldn't help but take a gentle sniff, and half of his face disappeared.

"Wow!"

The baby woke up and cried loudly. Chu Xinyue, who had been dozing off by the bedside, immediately woke up. She was startled to see someone in the room, but relaxed when she realized it was Su Yu. She complained a little:

"Don't scare the baby."

Su Yu laughed and picked up the baby, gently coaxing him.

However, perhaps because they hadn't seen each other for several months, the child was shy and cried louder the more he tried to soothe her. Strangely, the little sister next to him didn't wake up despite the noise.

Helpless, Chu Xinyue, afraid of waking her younger sister, stepped forward and took the baby from his arms back. After examining it carefully, she said:

"The baby must be hungry."

As she spoke, she skillfully rolled up her silk pajamas, revealing a pair of bulging breasts, and began to feed them.

"Why are you back? Didn't you say the war on Falling Star Island would last about ten years?"

"They were too weak; they gave up before I even got to my full strength."

Chu Xinyue rolled her eyes at him, and he chuckled, continuing to play with the other grain bag.

"The Horned Demons have been defeated, and the Six-Eared Clan has surrendered and will withdraw within three years. The Fire Clan is still uncertain, but they will most likely surrender as well. They will be given at most three years to retreat. According to the unspoken rules between civilizations, if a city is lost and not returned within three years, it is considered a complete defeat. Therefore, it will take at least six more years before we can go to the Azure Immortal Realm."

"Six years?"

"Yes."

"The Azure Immortal Realm is much better than this place, both in terms of resources and opportunities."

At this point, Su Yu suddenly stopped and said to her:

"Do you want to come to the Azure Immortal Realm? We can stay together there forever."

She was somewhat tempted, but looking at the child in her arms, she shook her head and said:
“They are still too young to travel with us. I think we should wait until they are older.”

Su Yu touched her son's little face and nodded:
“That’s fine. We can wait until they grow up. Anyway, it’s not difficult for me to return from the Azure Immortal Realm now, and I won’t be leaving the Azure Immortal Realm for the next thirty to fifty years. I have enough time to wait for them to grow up.”

It wasn't that he didn't want to go sooner, but rather that the quota for the Xuanqing Upper Sect to go to the Guangchengzi lineage was only available once every hundred years, and the next quota was still several decades away.

By then, his son and daughter will have grown up and awakened. Twenty or thirty years of cultivation will be enough for them to establish their foundation. With Chu Xinyue and Xiao Qingli looking after them, and with the assistance of his older brothers, sisters, and many subordinates, taking over the power of the Thousand Star Kingdom will not be a problem.

The two chatted for a while, and the baby quickly finished eating and fell asleep again. Su Yu hugged her waist, which was more plump than before, and leaned down on her. Soon, a rhythmic beat began to sound.

He stayed at home for a month, spending time with his son and daughter to build a close relationship, and also enjoying time with Chu Xinyue, Xiao Qingli, and Chu Xiaoyu.

Before leaving, they each received a few spiritual treasures. Chu Xinyue received the mid-grade spiritual treasure, the Immortal Sound Bell, and the low-grade spiritual treasure, the Mountain and River Map. The Immortal Sound Bell is the spiritual treasure version of the Heavenly Sound Bell, and it is extremely powerful in both offense and defense.

What was given to Xiao Qingli were the low-grade spiritual treasure, the Sun Mirror, and the low-grade defensive spiritual treasure, the Xuanhuang Pagoda.

What was given to Chu Xiaoyu was the low-grade spiritual treasure Immortal Fire Heart Lamp and the low-grade defensive spiritual treasure Nine Heavens Divine Silk.

The three of them possess a large number of peaches of immortality and Purple Mansion Heavenly Origin Pills. Reaching level 299 in cultivation is only a matter of time. With these two spiritual treasures, along with numerous tenth-tier magic weapons and the resources of the Thousand Star Kingdom, it will be almost effortless for them to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation and become immortals within twenty years.

As for the other brothers and subordinates, there are currently no magical treasures to give them.

These items are rare to begin with, and they're not guaranteed to drop. I've killed so many Celestial Immortals and True Immortals over the years, and these are the only ones that have dropped, so I gave them all away.

However, it's not a big problem. There will be a large-scale war when we return to the Azure Immortal Realm, and we should be able to obtain some resources then.

When Su Yu returned to the Falling Star Islands, she received good news: the Fire Clan had decided to abandon the islands and evacuate.

"They're smart to be sensible!"

Next, they waited for the two races to withdraw. Su Yu spent most of his time stationed in the Silver Dragon Main City, occasionally going out to patrol, and cooperating with the military to slowly occupy the territory vacated by the two races.

In addition, he goes back every year to stay for a month and watch his son and daughter grow up.

As time passed, in the third year, the Horned Demons, Fire Clan, and Heavenly Eye Clan all withdrew, leaving only a few survivors who gradually left over the next few years, until the seventh year.
"General Su Yu, this treasure is yours now."

Inside the main hall, all the high-ranking officials gathered, and General Zhu Wushuang moved an array plate in front of him.

Su Yu casually took it and asked with a smile:

"Am I already a general?"

Li Wumian laughed:
"Fellow Daoist Su Yu deserves the greatest credit for defeating the three races and successfully seizing the Falling Star Islands. He is certainly worthy of being promoted to General."

"Furthermore, the reason I have gathered you all here today is to discuss and reward your contributions."

At this point, his expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice:

"The Supreme Council has decreed!"

Everyone stood up with solemn expressions. Li Wumian took out a jade tablet and threw it out. The jade tablet floated in the air and unfolded into an oval halo. A middle-aged man shrouded in spiritual light walked out from it. Li Wumian respectfully called out:
"Marshal Li Yan!"

Everyone quickly bowed in greeting, and Su Yu also bowed down in surprise, her eyes carefully examining him.

He had heard of Li Yan seven years ago. The name was ordinary, and he looked ordinary, but his identity was extraordinary. He was one of the four Xuanxian of human civilization and a master of his clan.

“It’s really strong!”

Since surviving the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Man and condensing the true form of the Chaos Demon God, Su Yu felt a certain threat from someone for the first time.

Just then, Li Yan happened to look over and walked straight over. He quickly bowed down:
"Su Yu greets the Marshal!"

He waved with a smile, his face full of goodwill and expectation:

"Su Yu, you are the hope for the future of our human race. I hope to see you ascend to the Golden Immortal realm."

Su Yu replied:
"The Marshal will definitely live to see that day."

"it is good!"

"It would be best to have that confidence."

Li Yan laughed heartily, turned around and sat down in the empty seat left on the stage, and said in a deep voice:

"You have all managed to defeat the Horned Demons, the Fire Clan, and the Six-Eared People, and seize the entire Falling Star Islands. This has greatly enhanced the humanity of our race. This is a great achievement. On behalf of the Supreme Council, I would like to reward you all for your contributions."

"General Su Yu, who made the greatest contribution, has now been promoted to Grand General and is now a member of the Supreme Council. He can enter the Immortal Treasury to select three treasures, and Blue Mountain will be granted to you as your private dojo. In addition, you will receive 10% of the profits from the Falling Star Islands."

He smiled and looked at Su Yu, then gently clapped his hands. The other immortals immediately followed suit, and loud applause rang out in the hall.

Su Yu was also very happy. Although Lanshan was practically his own, official recognition made it legitimate and would save him a lot of trouble.

Other benefits are also good. Members of the Supreme Council represent the highest level of human civilization and have the right to make suggestions and decisions on the overall progress of human civilization.

The Immortal Treasury is also a good place to select treasures; only treasures at least at the Acquired Spiritual Treasure level can be placed there.

As for the 10% profit from the Falling Star Islands, it adds up to more than Blue Mountain, but you only have the right to share in the profits, not control.

"General Li Wumian, who has rendered secondary merit, is hereby awarded."

Marshal Li Yan continued to reward those who had made contributions, but the rewards he received later were significantly less than what he had received initially.

Apart from him, the highest-ranking general, Li Wumian, can only enter the Immortal Treasury to choose one treasure and receive 3% of the Falling Star Islands' profits. The profits for others decrease successively, at 2% and 1% respectively, and only 10 people in total can receive the profits.

After the rewards and honors were distributed, Li Yan summoned Su Yu privately, and his first words were—

"You are very good!"

Su Yu smiled slightly and remained silent.

I'm speechless. My abilities and potential are more than impressive; there's no way I can be humble.

"My race has been vying for destiny with all races since Earth came to this Immortal Realm more than 100,000 years ago. I have seen many geniuses, including many super geniuses from various races, but none of them can compare to you."

"The most powerful I've ever seen is someone who challenges another level higher, like a Celestial Immortal fighting a True Immortal, or a True Immortal fighting a Profound Immortal, but I've never seen anyone fight across two major tribulations."

Marshal Li Yan pinched the bridge of his nose, looking puzzled:

"To be honest, I don't understand at all."

"Of course, I'm not trying to pry into your situation. I'm just saying that you should not tell anyone about your experiences. Even if a general in your clan asks you, it's best not to say anything. Keep it a secret if you can."

“Su Yu knows.”

Li Yan looked him over with great admiration and smiled:
"No matter what, you are now the pride of our human race. You don't need to worry about anything else. Just focus on your cultivation and hopefully you can become a Golden Immortal as soon as possible, lead the human race to defeat all other races, and reclaim your position as the protagonist of destiny."

Su Yu bowed respectfully:

"Su Yu will keep his mission firmly in mind and never forget it!"

"very good."

Li Yan waved his hand, and a screen of light unfolded in front of him. He chuckled and said:

"We just rewarded you for your merits. You were able to enter the Immortal Treasury and take three treasures. You can take a look now. Anything inside counts as one. Tell me what you want."

"Then I'm welcome."

His gaze shifted to the light screen, and the first item caught his eye.
