Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 159 Thunder Roc and Golden Cicada
Of course, Ye Tian is not lacking in mountains, rivers and trees. Compared with the normal world, Ye Tian is actually like a series of giant isolated islands.

Walking along the edge of Ye Tian, ​​Su You soon arrived at a basin.

As soon as he stepped into the basin, he felt the power of thunder in the air, and his whole body felt a slight tingling sensation.

This feeling only lasted for a moment before he fully adapted to the environment. Su You's current physical condition was sufficient to adapt to most harsh environments.

Moreover, as long as the harsh environment is not instantly fatal, it is actually beneficial to him, as it can slowly help him passively evolve his physical constitution.

"This should be Lei Peng's habitat." Su You looked at the surrounding mountain walls, smooth as jade, clearly having been baptized by lightning for a long time.

With a casual hand gesture, he concealed his form and slowly began to explore inside.

His visit was merely an initial exploration; he would only take action once he confirmed Lei Peng's presence.

They quickly explored deeper into the valley, but even after reaching the deepest part of the valley, they still found no trace of Lei Peng.

Su You silently sensed the surrounding aura, and after a moment he confirmed that the Thunder Roc was no longer there.

If Lei Peng had settled here permanently, there wouldn't have been no trace of him left behind.

Su You glanced around and saw traces of Lei Peng's past life, but he was no longer there.

Although somewhat disappointed, they still carefully searched the surroundings for any clues.

After all, there are fewer choices for fifth-tier bloodline creatures than for fourth-tier bloodline creatures, since fifth-tier creatures are basically the pinnacle in the An Yun Realm.

Su You carefully selected Lei Peng as a suitable bloodline creature.

If he couldn't find Lei Peng, Su You would rather choose a fourth-tier creature as material. Although the initial supernatural talent might be weaker, it wouldn't be without the opportunity for improvement.

After searching the valley for a long time, they finally found a clue.

Rather than a clue, it was something left behind by Lei Peng—a feather from his body.

With this feather, Su You had plenty of ways to track down the other party. He held the feather in one hand and chanted a spell.

Wisps of green smoke landed on the feather. After absorbing the smoke, the feather, which was originally in the palm of the hand, slowly floated up and transformed into a miniature thunder roc, which quickly flew in one direction.

Su You didn't chase after it, but closed his eyes and slowly sensed the direction the miniature Thunder Roc was heading.

Under his bloodline-guided sorcery, the miniature thunder roc formed from the feathers will surely fly back to its master.

The miniature Thunder Roc did not fly towards the other Ye Tian realms, but instead flew towards the central area of ​​this Ye Tian realm.

Unfortunately, just as they got close, a force forcibly annihilated the miniature Thunder Roc.

Although the final transmitted images were few, a giant hand could still be seen.

Based on the information he obtained, it was clear that this hand belonged to the race that lived on this level of Ye Tian.

"Has Lei Peng already been arrested?" Su You wondered to himself.

Judging from the power displayed by that giant hand, it was at least a fifth-tier expert.

Moreover, Lei Peng is usually a solitary demon beast, and if it appears in a clan, it is very likely that it has been captured.

Now that he knew the outcome, Su You no longer hesitated and continued to wait for the spatial passage of the Great Wilderness Secret Realm to open.

Now that he knows there are powerful figures in Lei Peng's location, he certainly won't rush over rashly. With his current strength, he can't possibly hide it from those fifth-tier experts.

We still need to rely on the power of the Star Ring and the Dream Butterfly Mirror.

After waiting patiently for a year, the Star Ring was directly teleported over.

Nearly two hundred years have passed since he put on the Star Ring again, and now the Star Ring's power is just right for him.

After concealing his presence, Su You quickly headed towards his target.

The area was heavily guarded, indicating that his earlier actions had alerted some of the powerful figures inside.

Unfortunately, such patrols were useless to him; even a fifth-tier expert might not be able to see through his stealth.

Moreover, the shield that comes with the Star Ring is strong enough that even a fifth-tier expert would find it extremely difficult to break through.

Su You had escaped death multiple times from the hands of the Nascent Soul Venerable because of the powerful protection of the Star Ring Shield.

Using his powerful stealth abilities, he quickly located Lei Peng's location.

This was a huge cage, and Lei Peng's entire body was pierced by magical artifacts, with drops of blood falling into the blood pool below.

Below the blood pool, Su You could see a figure swimming inside, absorbing the essence of the blood.

Lei Peng struggled incessantly, unleashing countless bolts of lightning, but none could penetrate the cage.

"This is convenient for me." Su You's face showed surprise.

Normally, with his current strength, it would be quite difficult for him to catch Lei Peng, given the opponent's astonishing speed.

Even with a powerful weapon like the Dream Butterfly Mirror in his possession, Su You would still find it difficult to control the opponent if they were fast enough.

However, Lei Peng is currently trapped in a cage, and taking him away would be effortless.

With a thought, the Dream Butterfly Mirror was transformed, and with a gentle wave of Su You's hand, the entire cage was taken into it.

"Who dares to cause trouble for my Thunder Owl Clan?" A furious roar suddenly came from outside.

In the blink of an eye, the Thunder Owl Clan guarding their ancestral land discovered the commotion inside.

The Lei Peng that their clan had captured at great cost had vanished.

"Who is it?"

With a roar, boundless thunder crashed down, and the surrounding space seemed to be enveloped by the lightning.

The place where Su You stood was completely protected.

However, this also exposed Su You's location.

"Go! Spatial transfer!" Without the slightest hesitation, Su You activated the Dream Butterfly Mirror once again, switching the positions of the primary and secondary entities.

Although I am confident in the Star Ring's defenses, it's better to leave as soon as possible. Moreover, the fact that their clan was able to capture Lei Peng shows that they do have some strength, so it's wise to be cautious.

After bringing Lei Peng back, Su You immediately prepared to go into seclusion.

Breaking through to the third level is a very important hurdle for wizards, especially in terms of mental power, which will gradually solidify and become more refined.

This step requires the power of the formation to be accomplished.

Fortunately, Su You himself had a powerful wizard tower, which made it easy to solve this problem.

He had already prepared the training room inside the wizard tower, and even the mental energy solidification array had been directly inscribed on it.

As for the rest of the breakthrough process, Su You was quite adept at it, and it wasn't much different from usual. All he needed to do was prepare enough resources. "Sleep, sleep, and when you wake up, everything will be over." Su You directly used the power of the Dream Butterfly Mirror to quickly pull Lei Peng into an illusion from which he couldn't escape.

Compared to living such a pathetic and painful life, Su You would still give it a quick death.

Only after refining the primordial seed did he begin to attempt a breakthrough.

First, one uses the strength of the physical body to rapidly enhance one's spiritual power, and only after breaking through the bottleneck will one gradually stop.

This step went very smoothly, and the breakthrough in mental strength was relatively simple, after all, my own foundation was still very profound.

Next, Su You activated the array within the Wizard Tower, using its power to continuously temper his spirit and rapidly condense and fuse it together, ultimately solidifying it into crystals.

When mental energy solidifies to this level, it's almost time to break through.

The only difficulty was that when fusing with the Primal Seed, the World Tree vibrated violently. Fortunately, his mental strength was strong enough to barely suppress it and complete the fusion of the Primal Seed.

After completing the breakthrough, Su You couldn't help but sigh, "The fusion for a level three wizard's breakthrough is already this difficult, a level four wizard will probably fail outright."

He wasn't worried about the impact of failure on him; at worst, he could perish, be resurrected, and experience another breakthrough.

Su You was worried about the waste of the primordial seeds, since each bloodline creature could only extract a very small number of primordial seeds.

If you fail too many times, it will probably be difficult to find another creature with the same bloodline.

However, this time it was a barely successful attempt, which can be considered a good start.

After completing this fusion, Su You could clearly feel that his physical body had become stronger.

Although Lei Peng doesn't have any special physical talent, he possesses an exceptionally strong physique.

Of course, the most important factor is Lei Peng's talent and ability.

The first talent is the most common and powerful talent, the Thunder Escape Technique.

This is the most abundant talent possessed by the Thunder Roc clan, granting them extremely high speed.

Secondly, there's the Lightning Control talent, which amplifies all attacks related to lightning, and learning various lightning-related knowledge becomes a breeze.

The third type is Lightning Flash, which is also a life-saving talent of the Thunder Roc clan. Unlike the flight ability of Lightning Escape, Lightning Flash is more of a special spatial talent, which is really very powerful.

Lightning flash!

With a thought, Su You appeared out of thin air a hundred meters away.

"That's quite an ability!"

Only now has he mastered a talent related to space.

Compared to Lightning Release, Lightning Flash is better suited for dodging in small areas, while Lightning Release is designed for long-distance flight.

After achieving the breakthrough, Su You spent several dozen days mastering and familiarizing himself with his new talent ability.

Especially his talent for controlling lightning; he learned dozens of lightning spells to enhance his combat skills and fighting power.

……

Six years later...

"Finally caught it... This beast is really slippery. It's quite a good trump card for the twin clones to save their lives." Su You looked at the white jade cicada that was constantly wriggling in his hand.

Don't underestimate this jade cicada. Although it doesn't even have an outer shell, its inherent talent is quite strong.

The cicada's unique ability to shed its shell is its only talent; it uses its own exoskeleton to replace its body, while the original body is forcibly teleported away.

The cicada can continuously refine its shell, thus gaining more chances to molt.

The one that Su You caught was like this; it took more than thirty attempts to finally catch it.

When choosing twin clones, Su You mainly focuses on functional or survival-oriented types.

Once the Twins are integrated with the Golden Cicada Shedding its Shell talent, their ability to survive will be further enhanced.

The only pity is that this cicada is only at the fourth level. If it were at the fifth level, its talent would definitely be much stronger.

However, this didn't matter to Su You anymore, since these talents could be improved gradually anyway.

Moreover, among the fifth-tier monsters, those with special life-saving abilities are extremely rare.

This is also why Su You settled for second best.

This breakthrough was much easier. He had already attempted a breakthrough once, so breaking through to the third level of wizardry was now very simple.

The difference between a level 2 wizard and a level 3 wizard lies in the solidification of their spiritual power and the vibration of the World Tree when they merge with the Primal Seed.

"It seems I need to find a way to strengthen my sea of ​​consciousness and the World Tree as soon as possible," Su You thought to himself.

Otherwise, the probability of merging with the primordial seed again will be extremely low.

The moment the twin clones broke through their spiritual power, the black hole at the deepest part of their sea of ​​consciousness changed once again.

The black hole became even deeper, and the twin imprints at the core of the soul changed the instant of the breakthrough.

Countless runes flowed and recombine, eventually transforming into a profound rune that settled back into the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness.

"Another new talent?" Su You was delighted.

According to the evolutionary pattern of the Gemini Mark, each breakthrough in the mental power of both sides brings new abilities, and this time is no exception.

By carefully sensing the changes in the twin marks, Su You immediately understood the reason for this change.

The black hole deep within the sea of ​​consciousness could now transmit not only supernatural talents, magical power, and spiritual power, but also matter.

Although the amount of matter that can be transferred is limited, it also depends on one's own cultivation level and the quality of the items being transferred.

But this is already considered a very powerful ability.

For example, even if Su You didn't bring the Dream Butterfly Mirror with him when he went out, he could still easily use it by transmitting through the black hole of the twin clones.

After use, it can be transmitted back through a black hole, thus avoiding danger and preventing the Dream Butterfly Mirror from being lost.

However, after trying it, Su You frowned again.

Because this black hole cannot transmit living objects, and the Dream Butterfly Mirror is too powerful to transmit them either.

After all, the Dream Butterfly Mirror contains an entire world, and such a teleportation is equivalent to teleporting an entire world, which Su You cannot bear.

He made breakthroughs in his mental strength one after another, and his progress in cultivating immortality was not lagging behind at all.

The twin clones were already highly skilled before, and now they are only one step away from breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm.
