Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 165 Investigating the World Battlefield
Upon landing, Su You's mental energy immediately spread out, scanning the situation within a radius of thousands of miles with crystal clarity.

With his current strength, he doesn't need to hide even in this world. In this ordinary middle-thousand world, there are very few people whose strength can surpass his.

This is also why he can freely scan with his mental power; as long as no one surpasses him in mental strength, they generally won't be detected.

“There doesn’t seem to be any powerful force around.” Su You shook his head, and his figure transformed into a white light and disappeared into the air.

After flying for nearly hundreds of thousands of miles on the ground, he finally spotted a decent force.

A force at the Nascent Soul level.

Su You did not rely on his strength to force his way in, although with his current strength, breaking through the fourth-order formation of the other sect would be a piece of cake.

However, the purpose of coming to this realm is to discreetly gather information. Even with far superior strength, it is not advisable to expose oneself.

Although he couldn't force his way in, someone with his level of cultivation had plenty of ways to sneak in.

Whether it's controlling the disciples here or using the illusion talent to disguise oneself, it's all easily done.

Outside the sect, Su You didn't wait long. He casually chose a Golden Core cultivator, controlled him, and then transformed into that person's appearance to enter the sect.

Based on the information provided by the disciple, he quickly found the location of the library.

Upon entering, Su You gently probed with his divine sense and discovered that a Nascent Soul cultivator was guarding the Scripture Pavilion.

call!
He exhaled a wisp of green smoke, which quietly entered the Nascent Soul cultivator's sea of ​​consciousness, instantly putting the man into a deep sleep.

Su You had no intention of controlling the other party; he came here simply to check the information about this world.

Without the supervision of other cultivators, he took out a tower spirit and had it quickly record the information on the jade slips here.

Although Su You's divine sense is now powerful and he can read jade slips very quickly, it is still far behind the scanning speed of the tower spirit.

To find useful information from a vast database, one still needs to rely on the Tower Spirit's computing power.

Xiao Yi, the tower spirit in his hand, is the third most powerful tower spirit in terms of computing power among those he has created. He spent a lot of resources to cultivate it, just so that it could help him in the outside world.

Within an hour, all the information in the entire library was recorded.

This also shows that the sect's foundation is not deep and it does not have much knowledge reserves.

It should be noted that the Dream Butterfly Sect's Scripture Pavilion has a tower spirit specifically placed inside to scan and record information, but even after several hundred years, it is still not fully recorded, which shows how vast the information stored inside is.

"Xiao Yi, is there any record of information about the continent shattering?" Su You asked.

"Master, according to the information in the database, there is a relevant piece of information." Xiao Yi immediately projected the relevant information.

Su You slowly scanned the area with his eyes and nodded. "Although there are no detailed records, there is indeed relevant information. Many years ago, the entire continent experienced a huge upheaval, and many sects perished in this upheaval. The current civilization is rebuilt from the history of the previously destroyed civilization."

The history of his sect is similar; it also unearthed a force destroyed by a continental upheaval and gradually grew into the force it is today.

Indeed, that level of power, even a slight aftershock, might not harm the entire continent, but for the living beings on it, it would be catastrophic destruction.

“Lingbao Sect…” Su You murmured softly.

What kind of enemy did the Lingbao Sect encounter that caused such a devastating blow, even targeting related inheritances in the lower realms?

The Dream Butterfly Sect has absolutely no record of such a hostile force.

Although there are records of information about those who participated in the battle, the Lingbao Sect was completely clueless about the enemy, having no idea of ​​their origins or the reasons for their attack.

After all, at that time, the Lingbao Sect was already a unified super power within its own realm, and it also had a very good reputation in other realms, and had made friends with many forces.

Even in the upper realm, that is, the immortal realm, there are powerful backers; otherwise, how could the Lingbao Sect have dozens of immortals guarding the sect?

Generally speaking, most powerful cultivators who have reached the point of breaking through to become immortals will choose to enter the immortal realm as soon as possible.

Only those forces with deep foundations will choose to continue accumulating power in the lower realms, so that they will have a place when they enter the immortal realm in the future.

The Dream Butterfly Sect's luck was both good and bad.

The reason for their good fortune was that the Dream Butterfly Mirror escaped into a mysterious realm, making it impossible to track down, thus preserving the sect's heritage.

Their bad luck stemmed from a remote curse; only one disciple with a special soul managed to survive, while all the other teachers and disciples perished.

In a sense, the Dream Butterfly Sect was also completely destroyed, which may be why the mysterious force did not pursue them.

In fact, Su You came out this time with a little bit of hope in his heart. If the Lingbao Sect in the Immortal Realm made a move or was strong enough, perhaps the Lingbao Sect in the Lingbao Great World might have reappeared.

Of course, the chances are extremely low. Judging from the enemy's influence in the lower realm, they have quite a few immortals, indicating that the forces behind them are very powerful.

Perhaps the destruction of the Lingbao Sect was due to reasons from the Immortal Realm.

Although there wasn't much useful information, Su You had already determined that a powerful figure had intervened and destroyed the continent of this world.

The gains weren't significant, but the knowledge recorded is still useful.

When it comes to knowledge, Su You is open to all kinds of information; naturally, the more the better.

This realm is somewhat different from the Yun'an Realm, and perhaps the knowledge gained will also be different.

After obtaining the information he wanted, Su You thought about it and decided that there was no need to continue exploring this world.

It's better to stay in this sect and cultivate peacefully. After all, this sect is in a remote area, but it's relatively peaceful.

Since they had decided to stay here to cultivate, they naturally needed to control the higher-ups here. Fortunately, there were only three high-ups here, namely Nascent Soul experts, the strongest of whom was only at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, but they were easily controlled.

After gaining control of the upper echelons, Su You chose a fourth-tier spiritual vein and immediately began secluded cultivation, without interfering much in the sect's affairs. Currently, his cultivation is at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage; if he focuses solely on using elixirs for cultivation, he should be able to break through to the Deity Transformation stage in about two hundred years.

As for whether he could break through to the Nascent Soul realm in one go, Su You was not worried, after all, there were still a few Spirit Nourishing Pills in the Qionghua Cauldron.

Although this elixir is extremely expensive, it is the only suitable option for him since he cannot be resurrected outside.

Both the main body and the clone are currently in seclusion, one improving their cultivation and the other studying the inheritance, making visible progress every year.

Although the person is not outside, the twin clones are actually stationed inside the cultivation academy.

With the Trial Tower in place, Su You had perfect control over his subordinates.

Moreover, the cultivation academy is no longer in a state of disarray as it was at the beginning; it has now reached a considerable scale and has its own set of teaching systems.

Su You also selected the outstanding management talents to help him manage the academy, which also made it easier to identify and deal with problems in a timely manner.

As for the legion, there were even fewer problems. After being tempered by world wars, the soldiers' progress was clearly visible.

Only those who have experienced such battlefields have the potential to improve. Moreover, the world battlefield is a whetstone, and those who are not suitable have long been eliminated in the battle.

However, as the number of soldiers continues to increase, the demand for bloodline potions is also increasing, especially for second- and third-tier bloodline potions, which are in high demand.

The first-tier bloodline potion is the foundation. This potion is used directly by students who are selected as soldiers in the academy, and they can reach the peak of the first tier before graduation.

Upon joining the army, you will directly use second-tier bloodline potions. However, using second-tier bloodline potions will not directly boost your strength to second-tier, but rather boost your potential to second-tier. You still need to break through to second-tier on your own.

However, the Legion has conducted specialized research on this point, and after three years of special training, more than half of the bloodline cultivators can break through to the second tier.

These second-tier bloodline cultivators are the backbone of the legion. As for those who haven't broken through, they will continue to train. However, if they haven't broken through within ten years, it means that their potential is limited, and no more resources will be invested in them afterward.

From now on, I can only serve as a low-level soldier, waiting for an opportunity to break through.

After reaching the second level of cultivation, and after learning about battle formation coordination and various world wars, they will be sent to the world battlefield for training.

This step is the most brutal, the one with the highest mortality rate, but it is also the one that must be taken.

Only by experiencing such battlefields can one grow into a true iron-blooded soldier.

Once you reach this stage, it's all about continuously improving your strength. Once you reach the peak of the second tier, you'll be able to obtain a third-tier bloodline potion.

This process is relatively simple. After all, those who survive a world war will receive a lot of merit points, which can be exchanged for many resources to improve their cultivation.

It was precisely the numerous world wars that led to a continuous increase in the number of third-tier bloodline cultivators within the legion.

Previously, third-tier bloodline sorcerers only accounted for one-twentieth of the regular legions, but now at least one-fifth of the soldiers have been upgraded to the third tier.

In the legion now, the former squad leaders were only at the second level of cultivation, but now every one of them must be at the third level to be eligible to serve.

As for fourth-tier soldiers, their numbers are still very small, and this step up is not as simple as before.

Even though the process of improving one's bloodline is much simpler than that of cultivating Qi, it still takes time, especially from the third to the fourth rank.

Even with a continuous supply of resources for cultivation, it would take thirty to forty years to reach the peak of the third tier. After using a fourth-tier bloodline potion, it would take several decades to break through.

The existing fourth-tier bloodline cultivators in the legion were all promoted by Su You. They were all cultivators with strategic awareness and some cultivators with very strong combat talent that he had previously selected.

These people had all worked hard for many years with the resources provided by Su You, before they broke through to the fourth level of cultivation.

Even with free Tier 4 bloodline potions, advancing a legion's military merit system to Tier 4 is not an easy task.

Of course, the number of fourth-tier bloodline cultivators did not increase much, but the number of third-tier bloodline cultivators increased significantly.

Especially now that the number of soldiers in the legion is constantly increasing, the previously stored essence blood has long been exhausted.

Fortunately, there are a lot of savage beasts in the world of the Heavenly Vine, and it is very easy to buy their essence blood. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to get so much high-level essence blood.

Fortunately, every war in the world has yielded considerable gains; otherwise, such wars would be impossible to wage without strong financial backing.

In a war, it's not just about soldiers. Although the soldiers in his legion are bloodline cultivators, they also cultivate immortality to some extent, and the power within their bodies can also drive talismans and magical artifacts.

Therefore, all kinds of basic talismans, magical artifacts, and even various elixirs need to be prepared in order to fight a protracted battle.

Otherwise, simply using soldiers' lives to accumulate resources would be far too costly.

The soldiers under Su You's command were trained at great cost, and they certainly cannot be sacrificed casually.

Currently, the Su You Legion has opened up three world battlefields in the Tongtian Vine World, and the battles are still ongoing.

After all, for those lower-level worlds, the legion Su You sent was indeed overwhelming, surpassing them in both hard and soft power.

This is also the reason why the legion decided to open three battlefields.

Of course, before opening up the three battlefields, a detailed investigation of the three worlds must have been conducted.

After all, the only thing the legion still fears right now is combat power at the Nascent Soul level.

Su You has only three combatants at the Nascent Soul level under his command: one is the Corpse Demon, and the other two are the Nascent Soul Venerables he had previously captured and suppressed under the formation. After his spiritual power broke through to the Nascent Soul level, he directly enslaved them.

Only one can be assigned to each battlefield. If there are multiple Nascent Soul level experts in a battlefield, it will definitely be detrimental to the legion.

The legion's battle formation is powerful, but it can only withstand one or two Nascent Soul stage experts.

Therefore, in world wars, early intelligence gathering is extremely important.
