Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 151 The Seed of a Second-Generation City Lord
boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
Su You charged forward recklessly, showing no intention of dodging the swarming black worms. He simply crashed into them head-on, leaving a pool of black blood on the ground.

Most of the demonized worms in the insect nest were at the first level, and Su You, with his fourth-level body tempering, was not afraid that these small worms could penetrate his physical defenses.

They don't even need to exert any effort; they can just charge in and kill a large number of people.

This is why Su You dared to send a portion of his legions over.

He certainly wouldn't have sent them here for training if the power of the insect hive was too overwhelming.

Su You turned his head and saw the legion still behind him, forming a towering water curtain. Countless water dragons emerged from the water curtain and devoured the lives of countless demonic insects in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that the situation on the legion's side had stabilized, he continued his charge into the interior.

These small fry were not his target; his target was the third- or even fourth-tier magical insects in the swarm.

Su You stretched out his hands, slowly brought them together, and then slapped them together forcefully.

A huge wave of air emanated from his hands.

In that instant, all the demonic insects within a kilometer radius of his body were pulverized.

Su You pushed off with his right foot and instantly rushed to the side of a third-tier demonic insect.

dead!
With a single punch, the third-tier demonic insect shattered into pieces, scattering all around before being engulfed and devoured by the surging swarm.

boom! boom! boom!
Su You moved his body quickly, and one after another, third-tier and even fourth-tier demonic insects fell to his fists.

A third-tier demonic insect couldn't withstand a single punch from him, and even a fourth-tier demonic insect died instantly after he unleashed dozens of punches.

His current power can be described as terrifying. If he were to unlock the Vajra Dragon Force talent, his power would become even more exaggerated.

"As expected of a technique comparable to the 'Dream Butterfly Heavenly Scripture,' it is indeed incredibly powerful! Even though it's just a fragment, my strength has increased significantly after practicing it," Su You couldn't help but exclaim.

Previously, although his physical body had broken through to the fourth level, his physical strength had only increased normally, not to such an exaggerated degree as it is now, with a strength of about 20 million jin.

However, after cultivating the "Hongwu Heavenly Dragon Scripture", his own power increased rapidly, and now three red scales have condensed in front of his chest.

These crimson scales are a unique feature of the "Hongwu Heavenly Dragon Scripture". Each crimson scale that is condensed can increase the power of a dragon by one, and each crimson scale has a powerful defensive capability.

Su You has now condensed three crimson scales, which has increased his power by about 30 million jin. That is to say, the power of one dragon is about 10 million jin, and his current power is about the power of five dragons.

If he activates his innate Vajra Dragon Power, he will possess the power of ten dragons with double the strength.

With such immense power, it's safe to say that a single punch he throws could create a shockwave that kills a large number of cultivators with low cultivation levels.

The battle continued, from day to night, and from night back to day.

Many cultivators have already retreated to the Immortal City, and Su You's bloodline army also retreated to the Immortal City early on.

Although their combined strength using battle formations was considerable, they were still no match for the endless swarms of insects. After all, the average strength of the Bloodline Legion was only equivalent to the second tier and the Foundation Establishment realm, and only the commanders of more than a thousand men had the strength of the third tier Golden Core level.

Therefore, when its own power was depleted to a certain extent, it promptly retreated to the Immortal City.

Su You sent them here to gain experience in large-scale warfare, not to send them to their deaths.

Another group of cultivators continued to engage in the battlefield.

After a long battle, Su You was also slightly fatigued.

After all, he had been fighting at the forefront and using his physical body entirely, so his own consumption must have been enormous.

In this purely physical combat, Su You used all the martial arts techniques he saw, and then slowly selected the ones that suited him and were suitable for fighting, gradually fusing them together.

The current moves have a sense of returning to simplicity, and the hunting effect is several times greater than before.

Roar!
Roar of the Dragon!
A dragon's roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth!
The endless swarm of insects in front of Su You paused briefly, and the insect swarms covering dozens of miles in the fan-shaped area in front of him lost their life with his dragon roar.

Only those demonic insects with strength reaching the late stage of level three or above managed to withstand the attack, but they were already unable to move. Only the insect swarms of level four and above were not significantly affected.

Looking at his achievements, Su You felt a surge of joy.

This was also the first time he had used the magic from the "Hongwu Heavenly Dragon Scripture," and he hadn't expected it to be so powerful.

He didn't stop roaring either; his ever-flowing magical power was being consumed, and the Heavenly Dragon's Roar continued to echo in front of him.

It could be said that the fan-shaped area in front of him had become a forbidden zone; whichever direction he faced, large numbers of the insect swarm in that area would perish.

"Who is this human? Such powerful magic!"

"Not only that, his physical body and strength are also extraordinary!"

……

The tens of thousands of Nascent Soul level experts at the forefront of the attack all turned to look at Su You.

It's not that there aren't any among them who have demonstrated such powerful spells, but most of them are late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators who possess such power, and they cannot use it continuously.

The human cultivator before them was only at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, yet his magical power seemed inexhaustible.

The roar lasted for a full half hour before Su You felt that his magical power was almost exhausted.

Although he had cultivated to an extremely high level, and his mana capacity far exceeded that of ordinary techniques, he still couldn't continuously use powerful spells.

He took a pill that quickly restored his mana and swallowed it. After a few breaths, his mana had recovered to one-tenth of its original level.

"It seems I need to find a way to quickly restore mana or increase mana capacity," Su You thought to himself.

For most cultivators, magical power is the most fundamental element, the source of their strength; without it, they are essentially useless.

However, even if Su You's magic power is exhausted, he can still use witchcraft or rely on his own physical body.

Of course, if one can enhance their magical power, it can also be considered as increasing one's foundation.

Cultivators have many ways to increase their magical power, such as condensing more nascent souls within their bodies to serve as secondary souls and carriers for supplying magical power. Wizards, on the other hand, have methods beyond creating artificial miniature magical nets within their bodies to increase their magical capacity: they create their own personalized magical pools or magical books.

When not in use, one can infuse their own magic into it and then draw it out when needed, allowing for rapid restoration.

This is a very worthwhile plan to consider, but how to convert stored magic power into stored mana power still needs careful research.

However, now was not a good time for research. After charging around for several more quarters of an hour, Su You retreated directly to the Immortal City to recuperate and recover.

He has been outside for a long enough time, and has already shown most of his strength. Apart from the witchcraft that is not meant to be revealed, most of his power has been displayed here.

The final result was also outstanding; the merit points on his token have now reached 120.635 million.

Killing a regular Tier 1 demonic insect grants 10 points, killing a Tier 2 demonic insect grants 1,000 points, killing a Tier 3 demonic insect grants 100,000 points, and killing a Tier 4 demonic insect grants 10 million points.

He killed only a small number of third- and fourth-tier demonic insects, totaling around a hundred. He mainly killed first- and second-tier demonic insects.

This means that Su You killed at least tens of millions of demonic insects.

Based on the value of merit points, each merit point is equivalent to the value of a low-grade spirit stone, so it can be said that he gained hundreds of millions of spirit stones in a short period of time.

This would have been unimaginable in the past.

Su You's strength is one reason, but another reason is simply that this world is truly rich in wealth.

He could guess without even thinking, since this world was at a much higher level than the An Yun World. Even if it wasn't a Great Thousand World, it was still one of the top existences in the Middle Thousand Worlds.

Most importantly, this world has the Heavenly Vine, which can connect to many worlds and extract spiritual energy from them, resulting in a great deal of wealth here.

Of course, the Green Ivy Clan is the one who controls this wealth. They are the guardians of the Heavenly Vine and control all the channels through which it can be passed, so it is not surprising that they have accumulated a huge amount of wealth.

Even though they spend a lot of wealth every ten years to resist the demonic calamity, it is still a drop in the ocean for them.

Upon returning to the Immortal City, Su You immediately received an invitation from the Green Vine Clan.

His performance on the battlefield was simply too outstanding. He could be said to have completely overwhelmed those late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators. Moreover, he was a dual cultivator of both body and magic. Although his apparent strength was not high, he was still among the top tier.

As one of the middle-level battlefields, this area will not have fifth-tier enemies, so those beings with fifth-tier or higher strength will not appear here; most of them will be fighting in the upper-level battlefields.

Among the remaining cultivators, Su You's strength can be described as outstanding.

City Lord's Mansion.

Guided by the maid, Su You went directly to the central reception hall.

A moment later, a young woman dressed in green, with slightly long ears, green eyes, and crystal-clear wings on her back, walked out.

"Greetings, Lord of Green Jade City!" Su You stood up and gave a slight nod.

He had some prior knowledge of the City Lord's Mansion, which was also controlled by the Green Vine Clan. However, the person before him was different from most of the Green Vine Clan. Apart from the wings on his back, he was not much different from a human in appearance.

Su You knew that this was a sign that his strength had reached the fifth level. Only when the strength of the Green Vine Clan reached the fifth level would their bodies grow to a normal height.

Green Jade carefully examined the boy before her. She already knew from the mother of the Heavenly Vine that the boy was not a native creature of this world, but came from another world.

However, this is not a big deal. The Heavenly Vine connects countless worlds, and while it draws spiritual energy, it also attracts many living beings to this world.

In the past, the world of the Heavenly Vine was not as prosperous as it is now. Most of the races here migrated from other worlds and eventually settled here, becoming a part of this world.

"I heard that Young Master Su wants to exchange for the Heavenly Vine Seeds?" Green Jade asked with a smile.

"Yes." Su You nodded.

He didn't hide anything when he came here.

As the overlords of this realm, the Green Ivy Clan could easily investigate his information.

However, Su You wasn't worried about anything. Even if his identity as someone from another world was known, it didn't matter. He had already inquired and found that there were far too many forces like his from other worlds. The Green Vine Clan would generally not interfere unless the other party caused damage to the Heavenly Vine, in which case they would take action to eliminate them.

“I have a second-generation seed of the Heavenly Vine here. I wonder if Young Master Su would be interested?” Green Jade asked.

Second-generation seeds?

Su You suddenly mustered his mental energy. Although he had accumulated enough merit points after a month of frantic fighting, enough to exchange for an ordinary Heavenly Vine seed, these Heavenly Vine seeds had been propagated for countless generations, and their potential was extremely low. He wanted to exchange for a better seed, but there wasn't one on the exchange list.

So he plans to exchange for more seeds and take them back to cultivate them slowly, to see how to improve their evolution.

but!

However, they have the opportunity to obtain second-generation seeds, which is a very rare thing.

Although it is not a first-generation seed, the bloodline of the second-generation seed will not degenerate much, and its potential is certainly not comparable to that of the Tongtian Vine seed that has reproduced for tens of thousands of generations.

"What price?" Su You asked directly.

The value of a second-generation seed is self-evident; even if he were to give up all his battle points, it would be insignificant, as the opponent must have some kind of demand.

"After the demonic calamity ends, you only need to go to a secret realm and bring me back one thing. After you return, I can give you the seed. Of course, this secret realm is extremely dangerous. If you go in, the most likely outcome is certain death. You can go back and think about it slowly," Green Jade said earnestly.

She disdained to deceive with lies. She had already sent too many people into this secret realm because, due to the limitations of the realm itself, only those with cultivation levels below the fifth rank could enter.

Over the past tens of thousands of years, the Green Vine Clan has continuously sent out countless powerful individuals, most of whom are at the late or peak Nascent Soul stage. There are also those like Su You who cultivate both physical and magical abilities, or even stronger individuals whose physical bodies have been trained to the peak of the fourth rank.

However, all of these people perished inside, without even a single piece of information being transmitted.

If it weren't for the fact that the destruction of that secret realm would cause enormous damage to the mother vine, they would have sent people to destroy the secret realm from the outside long ago.

"This is the information about that secret realm. My advice to you is to cultivate both your physical and magical abilities to the peak of the fourth rank before considering trying it out," Green Jade said after thinking for a moment.

Although Su You's current strength is not bad, the success rate of entering is still too low. It's better not to go and throw your life away.
