Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 132 The Power of the Cangling Sect

This situation is actually good news for Su You.

He had been thinking about how to break through the opponent's fourth-order formation.

The fourth-order grand formation is quite powerful, and his current strength is equivalent to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. It is inevitable that he will be unable to break through on his own.

The purpose of this trip was to see if there were any other opportunities to enter. If not, the only option would be to gather the men to besiege and break through the fourth-order formation here.

Unexpectedly, someone had already thought of it before him.

Now Su You is no longer in a hurry to make a move.

With so many cultivators here, even with his invincible defense, he couldn't possibly make a move here.

He doesn't want to reveal this ability completely yet.

Otherwise, why would Su You have invited those Golden Core cultivators one by one to subdue them?

This is what he must fight for.

After all, Aurora Island is different from other forces; it must have accumulated considerable resources to rule the Mingkong Islands.

Its fourth-order spiritual veins and fourth-order grand formations are extremely valuable, so we still need to get our hands on them.

He is now worried that as Sunset Island continues to expand, the great array on the island will no longer be able to control the flow of spiritual energy.

There is currently a fourth-order grand formation on site. If we can obtain it, it can expand to a range of at least a thousand miles, and it also has normal attack and defense capabilities. It would be quite good as a protective barrier for Luoxia Island.

The attacks continued relentlessly, with so many Golden Core cultivators' spells bombarding the barrier, and even more powerful spells unleashed by Nascent Soul cultivators.

Even a fourth-order grand formation couldn't withstand such frequent attacks and its barrier was directly breached.

Two Nascent Soul cultivators led their subordinates and rushed in quickly.

A short while later, the two emerged again, still somewhat angry.

They discovered that the cave was already empty; everything that could be taken had been taken away, leaving them nothing.

They weren't concerned about the treasures inside; what they were concerned about was that the core array plate of the fourth-order grand array had also been taken away. No wonder the barrier was broken through so easily in the last few attacks.

Without the core array plate, this fourth-order array is essentially half useless, and may not even be able to operate.

It would be impossible to repair the formation unless a fourth-tier formation master intervened.

However, seeing the fourth-tier spiritual vein beneath their feet, their mood finally improved somewhat.

Su You waited quietly on the periphery for his opportunity. He only needed to wait for a few lone Golden Core cultivators to subdue everyone here.

really!

After waiting for half a day, Su You saw Golden Core cultivators disperse, searching for something near Aurora Immortal City.

"This is an opportunity!"

Without the slightest hesitation, while invisible, he used his immense mental power in conjunction with his mirage talent to control the opponent and then directly enslave their soul.

The first Golden Core cultivator must be enslaved by the soul, otherwise they may not cooperate with his actions.

After successfully enslaving them, Su Youcai asked, "What were you all looking for when you scattered?"

He was a little curious. What were so many Golden Core cultivators looking for around here? Could there be some treasure here?

“Master, we are looking for the array plate of this great formation and digging it out from underground.” The Golden Core cultivator replied respectfully. “The Nascent Soul expert here has escaped and taken the core array plate with him. To prevent him from suddenly returning and using the formation against us, we must destroy the formation here and then reset our sect’s fourth-order great formation.”

"Your sect's fourth-tier grand formation?" Su You immediately became interested.

As expected of a Nascent Soul level force, their foundation and other aspects are far superior to those of the cultivators in the Mingkong Islands.

However, for Su You, this is also an opportunity to continue to improve himself.

The Book of Souls still has a batch of control slots, which must be made good use of. In addition, all the people in this sect must be subdued.

Thinking of this, Su You immediately sent a message to summon four hundred Golden Core cultivators and two Nascent Soul experts from the island to come over, making sure that everyone was kept here.

Their sect doesn't just have cultivators at the Nascent Soul and Golden Core levels; because they escaped in time, they brought out cultivators at the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining levels as well.

It can be said that apart from the spiritual veins within the sect, which could not be moved due to time constraints and had to remain in place, everything else was taken away by them.

All it takes is finding a suitable spiritual vein site to easily rebuild the sect.

Originally, when their sect arrived at the Mingkong Islands, they did not intend to directly seize Aurora Island, but rather planned to occupy several third-tier spiritual veins as temporary footholds.

Unfortunately, Su You's methods were too ruthless. He directly relocated most of the spiritual veins on the Mingkong Islands, leaving only first- and second-tier spiritual veins, which were of extremely poor quality and could not accommodate their entire sect.

However, the power of Sunset Island was too great, so they had no choice but to take action against Aurora Island.

However, the timing of their decision to settle in the Mingkong Islands predetermined the outcome.

After spreading the message, Su You immediately took action, instructing the Golden Core cultivator to summon his familiar fellow disciples, and then control them using the Book of Souls.

However, after gaining control, he dared not release them directly, in case someone risked their life to spread the information.

So after taking control, Su You knocked them unconscious and made them stay in place and sleep for a while.

In just half an hour, Su You had controlled nearly fifty Golden Core cultivators.

The price he paid was that his actions were discovered, and all the remaining Golden Core cultivators were summoned back.

After all, these Golden Core cultivators were operating around Aurora Immortal City, and the disappearance of so many Golden Core cultivators in a short period of time would be easily discovered.

At this point, Su You stopped operating in secrecy.

His Golden Core cultivators and Nascent Soul experts had been waiting on the perimeter for a long time, and would subdue anyone who tried to escape immediately.

After concealing his form, Su You became like an invisible shadow, easily controlling each Golden Core cultivator he approached.

Seeing the Golden Core cultivators suddenly collapse to the ground, the cultivators here were filled with terror.

After all, Su You was currently invisible, and all they knew was that these Golden Core cultivators seemed to have been attacked from nowhere and had fallen unconscious.

"What exactly is going on?" A Nascent Soul cultivator asked, his face showing surprise.

Even with his thousand years of experience, he couldn't foresee the current situation.

This invisible pressure is more terrifying than any other means.

“My mental energy is completely depleted. Even with pills to replenish it, it won’t be enough to recover. Now I can only see if I can scare the other party.” With a thought, Su You immediately transmitted his soul to one of his Nascent Soul servants.

He had already exhausted all his strength to achieve this.

It should be noted that even when controlling the Golden Core cultivators of the Mingkong Islands, they did not exert such frenzied control.

If it weren't for the fact that I had previously refined a batch of pills to restore the soul, I probably would have exhausted my spiritual energy after controlling only a few dozen Golden Core cultivators. Unlike now, I have successfully controlled about seventy of them.

However, even if Su You controlled all the Golden Core cultivators, the two Nascent Soul cultivators below him were not so easy to control.

Controlling a Nascent Soul cultivator is far more difficult than controlling a Golden Core cultivator.

Especially since there was a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator among them, his current mental strength was simply insufficient to suppress the opponent.

Even that Nascent Soul stage cultivator could only be on par with the other party.

The only advantage is that Su You can continuously wear down the opponent and is not afraid of their attacks.

In just a few breaths, four hundred Golden Core cultivators and two Nascent Soul experts surrounded them.

“This is…” Hong Xi’s face darkened. He now knew who was targeting him.

Within the Mingkong Islands, only the forces belonging to Luoxia Island possess such strength.

Although he was somewhat surprised that the other party had brought so many Golden Core cultivators, he was still able to remain calm.

After all, his strength is undeniable. Even if he is no match for his opponent, he is confident he can escape. The only problem is that only he himself has the ability to protect himself.

Furthermore, he was somewhat wary of how Luoxia Island had attacked; the fact that they could so silently defeat a Golden Core cultivator was clearly beyond his expectations.

The only possible good news is that the other side's methods should be ineffective against Nascent Soul cultivators, otherwise they would have used them long ago.

The two forces stood in the air, facing each other from afar.

“Fellow Daoist, I wonder where my Cangling Sect has offended your esteemed power? Why do you need to resort to such methods to deal with us?” Hong Xi did not make a move.

After all, he was in a weaker position, and the fact that the other side only knocked out his men instead of killing them meant there was still room for negotiation.

Qi Xuan, the patriarch of the Qi family, said loudly, "My master wishes to invite you to join the Dream Butterfly Sect. I wonder if you agree or not?"

???

Hong Xi looked surprised and helpless. He never expected that such a Nascent Soul cultivator would have a master behind him. Clearly, the master's cultivation was unfathomable and he was likely a Nascent Soul Venerable.

Otherwise, even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would not be able to make another Nascent Soul cultivator submit.

Unfortunately, the other party's words only gave him the option to agree; if he disagreed, the consequences would be obvious.

The situation is now clear: he will either join or refuse.

The consequence of refusing would be the destruction of the entire sect, with only him possibly escaping.

After a moment's thought, he nodded, "Alright, I'll join the Dream Butterfly Sect."

In this situation, he had no choice but to comply. Since the other party had contacted higher-ups, it meant they also had ways to deal with him.

Faced with such a force, joining them is also a good option.

After all, this is likely a Nascent Soul power, whose foundation is far superior to their Cangling Sect. He is already at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, and there is a chance that he might find an opportunity to advance to the late-Nascent Soul stage within this sect.

"Very good! Since you were able to lead your sect to join the Dream Butterfly Sect, the Master will be generous with rewards. It's even possible that he'll help you break through to the next level." Qi Xuan continued to offer promises.

Next, Qi Xuan sent people to bring the unconscious Golden Core cultivators from the ground, and then they circled around them, slowly making their way towards Luoxia Island.

Seeing this, Su You breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not bad if you can intimidate the other party.

If the other party does not agree, Su You's only option is to use a fourth-tier spirit talisman.

Wait until the opponent is seriously injured before trying to control them.

Now, we can save the fourth-tier spirit talisman; we only need to bring the two Nascent Soul cultivators into the Wizard Tower.

With the amplification from the Wizard Tower, controlling them will be a piece of cake.

After returning to Luoxia Island, Qi Xuan brought Hong Xi and another Nascent Soul cultivator to the Wizard Tower.

Now that we've arrived at Luoxia Island, which is the enemy's base, there's no chance for them to regret it. Now we can only hope that our choice wasn't wrong.

After entering the tower, he saw Su You.

A young man with a youthful face walked away without a trace of aura, as if he were an ordinary person.

"Submission, or death?" Su You said calmly.

The sound seemed to thunder in their ears, and countless illusions swirled in their eyes, only to vanish in an instant.

"We surrender!" The two of them didn't hesitate at all.

"Very well, since you have submitted, then use your soul to sign the contract here." Su You waved his hand, and the Book of Souls fell into Hong Xi's hands.

“This is…” Hong Xi’s heart skipped a beat.

He knew it wouldn't be that simple, but there was no turning back now. He gritted his teeth and used his soul to sign the contract, leaving behind a wisp of his soul.

He did not resist at all during this process.

After signing the contract, he knew that the other party could control his life and death with a single thought.

However, he had no way out; this was a pledge of allegiance that he had to sign.

After the two Nascent Soul cultivators signed the contract, Su You breathed a sigh of relief.

He originally thought he would have to use force to suppress it, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

"Very good! Merit deserves reward. You led the Cangling Sect to join Luoxia Island, which is a meritorious achievement. Consider this your reward." Su You waved his hand, and a stream of light landed in Hong Xi's hand.

Hong Xi looked at the jade slip in his hand, and after probing it with his divine sense, his face showed surprise. This jade slip actually contained a Nascent Soul cultivation technique that was very suitable for him.

With this inheritance, there is still a glimmer of hope even if one breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage in the future.

Thinking of this, Hong Xi said with excitement, "Thank you for your reward, my lord!"

"From now on, just call me Sect Leader. Go and bring all your Golden Core cultivators in; they all need to sign contracts," Su You instructed, waving his hand.

Having brought all the Golden Core cultivators under control, Su You had achieved his goal.

Because controlling these high-ranking members of the Cangling Sect is enough to control the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators below.

"Next, Qi Xuan will show you around the Dream Butterfly Sect so you can integrate into the sect as soon as possible."

This time, they've joined a legitimate Nascent Soul level force, which is incomparable to those wild cultivation families.
