Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 143 Trial Grounds Repairing the Treasure Mirror
Eight years later, in the Mirage Realm.

"The Human Spirit Pearl has been born!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

……

Roars echoed as thousands of cultivators clashed and fought each other.

The Human Spirit Pearl is a rare and precious material unearthed in this world. Consuming it can greatly increase the cultivation level of Qi Refining cultivators and is also a treasure that helps break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, just like the Foundation Establishment Pill in the outside world.

……

Watching the cultivators fighting each other within the mirage, Su You nodded in satisfaction.

Since he used up most of his soul to form the mirage five years ago, the entire mirage world has expanded to a length and width of thirty kilometers, covering an area the size of a city.

Of course, the increase in area is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that after continuous expansion, the mirage finally underwent a transformation.

It already feels like the illusion has become reality. Originally, the Mirage Realm could not be called a realm, but could only be considered an illusory space. However, the Mirage Realm is gradually taking on the prototype of a world.

As their master, the twin clones naturally also hold authority over the world.

Therefore, Su You remodeled the entire Mirage Realm.

He didn't develop slowly like that mirage dragon. After all, the other party's identity limited its ability to develop quickly, and given its long lifespan, slow development was actually better.

Su You did not adopt the peaceful methods used by the Mirage Dragon. There was very little fighting among the cultivators there. The evolution of the Mirage Realm relied entirely on the cultivators' own lifespans being exhausted and their spirit essence being absorbed to help the world's development.

Su You divided the Mirage Realm into two realms: the lower realm for mortals and the upper realm for cultivators, who were not allowed to descend.

In addition, an Origin Palace is set up above the clouds. The souls of cultivators who have just entered the Origin Palace will be protected by the Origin Palace until they are restored and released.

This way, there's no need to worry about these cultivators' souls encountering accidents as soon as they enter the Cloud Continent.

The first few points are similar to the mirage realm of the mirage dragon, but the later points by Su You are the key content.

Using his world-level authority, he created several rare and precious materials within the mirage realm, which would appear somewhere in the sea of ​​clouds every so often.

Given the nature of these cultivators, they are not worried that anyone will not compete for it.

Where there is conflict, there is death, and in this way, the spiritual energy needed for the evolution of the mirage is continuously and rapidly provided.

Of course, Su You's actions felt somewhat wasteful, since with the Mirage Dragon's sustainable development, it was possible to extract the full value from these souls.

It's not just the spiritual essence left behind after the other person's death, but also the power of the seven emotions and six desires generated in daily life.

Moreover, doing so would cause immense damage to the soul.

Fortunately, Su You maintained a high level of combat intensity in the Great Wilderness Secret Realm, and was able to collect a large number of cultivators' souls at all times.

If there weren't so many souls to provide, Su You would definitely choose to follow the sustainable development path of the Mirage Dragon.

Of course, the Mirage Realm is still too small now. If it could expand a thousand or ten thousand times, he might change his strategy.

After devising this method, Su You was finally free. He had completely adapted to the years of training his soul, and even his soul strength had been enhanced. The effect was no worse than focusing on cultivating the World Tree Meditation Method.

However, compared to these enhancements, he still prefers to meditate slowly.

The cultivators' souls were rapidly consumed, helping the mirage realm expand quickly, but the consumption of the mirage clouds below was extremely severe.

Fortunately, he used the Mirage Realm to create another way to absorb the seven emotions and six desires, which was by relying on the cultivators of the Great Wilderness Secret Realm.

Su You turned his gaze to the outside world.

In the center of the Great Wilderness Immortal City, beneath a giant tower, cultivators lined up and waited outside.

Every half hour, a pale-faced cultivator with a hint of joy would emerge from inside, followed by another group of cultivators who entered the tower at the call of the guards.

Meanwhile, some cultivators watching the spectacle outside were focused on the giant ranking list on the tower, and they would cheer whenever the list changed.

This tower is nothing special; it's a tool Su You uses to suppress his emotions and desires.

Su You separated a small part of the Mirage Realm and used the Mirage Qi to reshape it into a trial ground.

Then, this trial ground was enveloped within the tower. Any cultivator who entered the tower would have their soul absorbed into it immediately, and would then undergo the trial within the illusion.

This trial ground is open to the public. Any cultivator who can pass the trial ground's challenges will receive rewards, including various pills, magic weapons, bloodline potions, and even treasures such as Foundation Establishment Pills and Golden Core Pills. Therefore, it attracts a large number of cultivators to try their luck every day.

If you can make it onto the list above, you can even directly join the Dream Butterfly Sect and become an inner disciple.

Thanks to his promotion, this trial ground has long been known throughout the entire Great Wilderness Secret Realm, and countless cultivators are now queuing up, eager to enter and undergo the trial.

Whether it's passing through levels to get rewards or entering the inner sect of the Dream Butterfly Sect, it's all excellent.

If the Trial Grounds weren't limited in their capacity, only allowing a hundred people to enter each time they opened, he would be absorbing even more of the power of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires.

This trial ground is a win-win situation for Su You and the cultivators of the Great Wilderness Secret Realm.

Su You gained the power of the seven emotions and six desires, while the cultivators in these Great Wilderness Secret Realms could obtain treasures.

Although the trial may damage the soul, it will not harm its essence. Once the soul returns to the body, it can recover after resting for half a month.

It can be said that Su You's biggest expenses recently have all been on rewards.

But it's all worth it.

He can now sense that the mirage is becoming more and more real, and perhaps it can really transform into a world of souls, which would be of great help to his exploration of the essence of the soul.

In addition, this Trial Tower can also help Su You discover talent, since only those with strong souls or resolute wills can possibly reach higher levels.

Su You created the ranking list to select such talents, who would then be sent to the sect for training, thus forming the foundation of the Dream Butterfly Sect.

The Dream Butterfly Sect cultivates illusionary arts, which places high demands on one's soul and will. This tower of his can be said to have achieved two goals at once.

……

Thirty years later.

Babel Vine World.

A faint vortex of spiritual energy emanated from the giant leaves.

These are all energy pools that he set up in this world.

This world is rich in spiritual energy. Although no spiritual veins have been found, the spiritual energy gathered by the spirit-gathering array has yielded considerable results. The only drawback is that savage beasts constantly attack from outside the array.

Although these savage beasts were not very intelligent, they were extremely sensitive to spiritual energy. Su You could only survive by relying on the power of the formation and the cooperation of the group of cultivators.

However, even with the protection, three of the eight energy pools he established were seized.

The occupied areas are now frequented by fifth-tier savage beasts, so he is unable to reclaim them for the time being.

Fortunately, the five locations held up, and since they were all located at points with branching vines, not too many powerful savage beasts appeared.

Su You has explored the world of the Heavenly Vine many times over the years.

how to say?

This world is complex and ever-changing, beautiful and dangerous.

The entire world seems to reside within the Heavenly Vine, inhabited by countless races and ethnic groups.

Among these groups are those native to the Heavenly Vine, as well as those from other worlds that migrated to this realm via branching vines.

Overall, it is very dangerous.

Over the years, Su You has only found a few settlements of human races, all of which were relocated from other worlds. There are not many powerful individuals among them, with the highest being at the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

Originally, they planned to use the information from these human cultivators to probe the world they lived in, but unfortunately, according to what they said, the world they lived in was completely destroyed tens of thousands of years ago and was completely absorbed by the Tongtian Vine.

"After collecting this batch of spiritual liquid, the initial repair of the Dream Butterfly Mirror should be complete," Su You murmured.

After conquering most of the Great Wilderness Secret Realm and increasing the efficiency of spiritual energy once again, Su You set up a batch of energy pools to collect spiritual energy at the Tongtian Vine.

This means that the Dream Butterfly Mirror, which would normally require more than a hundred years to complete its initial restoration, can now be partially restored.

……

The Dream Butterfly Mirror: A Small World.

As a large amount of spiritual liquid was poured into the Qi Pool, the Qi Refining Pool unleashed a powerful refining effect, rapidly decomposing and refining the high-grade spiritual ores within, which were ultimately absorbed by the Dream Butterfly Mirror.

Boom!

After the final repairs were completed, the entire Dream Butterfly Mirror world erupted in a deafening roar.

Many of the internal facilities have also been reactivated.

Su You used the Star Ring's permissions to sense that the Dream Butterfly Mirror could now move and connect to the outside world, allowing it to quickly absorb spiritual energy using the power of the spiritual veins.

He can now directly open the space of the Dream Butterfly Mirror and send people inside.

In addition, various permissions, including attack and transfer, are still unavailable.

The reason is that the Yuanqi Pool has not been repaired. This is the key core of the Dream Butterfly Mirror. Without energy to operate, the Dream Butterfly Mirror is useless no matter how powerful it is.

Unfortunately, unlike the Dream Butterfly Mirror, this energy pool cannot be quickly repaired simply by absorbing special materials. The key is that the array on it must be repaired as well.

This is extremely difficult for Su You.

After all, the array above this Yuanqi Pool that absorbs and transforms various external Yuanqi is an eighth-order grand array. How could he possibly repair it with his current abilities?

Even the lowest grade of Yuan Qi pool requires a fifth-order grand formation.

Over the years, although Su You has gained some understanding of array formations through his research on witchcraft arrays, he is still only at the level of a second-tier array master, making it somewhat difficult for him to set up such an array.

The only way now is to rely on the energy pool to prioritize storing a large amount of spiritual liquid as energy, so that we can unleash some of the Dream Butterfly Mirror's abilities.

The Dream Butterfly Mirror is currently 25% repaired. With the help of the Spirit Tempering Pool, it can continue to repair itself. However, its self-repairing ability will stop working once it reaches about 50%.

The first task is to repair the interior of the Dream Butterfly Mirror. Many facilities inside need to be repaired manually, and they are all related to the formation.

The other is the true origin of the Dream Butterfly Mirror, the Dream Butterfly Mirror World. This is the key to the Dream Butterfly Mirror. The origin of this world has been consumed too much, which has caused the greatest damage to the Dream Butterfly Mirror. It is not easy to restore the origin.

Although the use of the Dream Butterfly Mirror still has many limitations, it is already very good for Su You.

The first group consisted of ordinary people who migrated to the other side of Yunting Lake.

Originally, Su You planned to relocate these mortals to the base in the East China Sea.

However, since the Great Wilderness Secret Realm was developed, the environment here has become much more suitable for these mortals.

He has now occupied more than half of the Great Wilderness Secret Realm, and all the savage beasts inside have been cleared out, making it very safe to place mortals inside.

Moreover, most of the Great Wilderness Secret Realm is plains, with a suitable environment, making it a place suitable for human habitation.

However, the migration was extremely complicated. After all, he had at least several billion mortals under his command, and the relocation would be a huge undertaking. There were too many things to consider, including food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.

For now, Su You can only send disciples from his sect to various countries and towns to guide, promote, and prepare.

As for the Great Wilderness Secret Realm, he plans to send earth-attribute cultivators to build houses in large quantities using magic, which will also save damage to mortals.

As for the relocation plan, it will be carried out city by city. Su You will come to collect the goods once everything is ready.

Of course, relocating ordinary people is only a small part of the matter; the more important thing is to develop oneself.

Since Su You will eventually leave this world, it is necessary to leave behind a batch of seeds so that he may be able to study spiritual roots when he has enough strength.

These mortals will serve as the target of observation. It doesn't matter whether a portion of them is collected into the Dream Butterfly Mirror World or into one's future natal magic weapon.

Aside from relocating mortals, after restoring some of the power of the Dream Butterfly Mirror, he is now temporarily able to separate a portion of the Dream Butterfly Mirror's projection.

At that time, they can be connected by simply relying on the third-order Dream Butterfly Mirror he crafted.

At that time, teleportation throughout the entire world will be a piece of cake.

After all, although the Dream Butterfly Mirror could not inherit the entire world, it still covered most of the area.

The Great Thousand Worlds are tens of millions of times larger than the Cloud Peace Realm, so even though the Dream Butterfly Mirror is currently in a damaged state, it can still easily transport people.

With the Dream Butterfly storyboard in place, there is now a glimmer of hope for the future restoration of the Dream Butterfly Mirror.

Of course, this hope is rather slim, unless Su You can develop the Dream Butterfly Sect back to its original heyday. After absorbing a large number of disciples' fragments, it might be able to fully recover.

Aside from its teleportation ability, the Dream Butterfly Scroll is an important tool for sect communication, serving purposes such as issuing tasks, relaying messages, and awarding rewards for tasks.
