Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 178 The Powerful Effects of the Conch Shell
After confirming that An Ling'er was alright, Su You slowly calmed down and immersed himself in his own sea of ​​consciousness.

Even now, his soul is still reeling.

If it were merely a matter of passing on a cultivation technique, even if it were a celestial-level technique, it wouldn't have a significant impact on An Ling'er.

However, what An Ling'er passed on to Su You was not only the information about the cultivation technique, but also a legacy mark formed by a phantom rune.

This is the essence of a celestial-level cultivation technique, which is why it damaged An Ling'er's soul.

Although only a tiny imprint entered his soul, the imprint of a celestial-level cultivation technique was incredibly powerful, and its impact on Su You was very significant.

Su You continuously visualized the World Tree standing tall between heaven and earth.

The entire sea of ​​consciousness gradually calmed down, and the previously turbulent imprint gradually stabilized and was suppressed under the World Tree.

The brand also continuously emitted mysterious ripples, making his soul even stronger under its influence.

The essence of the brand is so profound that even a tiny bit of it has a tremendous impact on his soul.

This is a power from a higher dimension, a higher level, radiating a faint silver light.

Su You's soul seemed to be nourished and grown by a clear spring, flowing endlessly and silently like a gentle rain.

It can be said that with this immortal imprint, Su You's soul growth rate increased several times over, and unlike other treasures, this immortal imprint is not consumed.

It will remain until his soul essence breaks through to the level of the celestial realm again, at which point this mark will lose its effect.

After calming his mind, Su You looked at An Ling'er with tender eyes; this gift was truly invaluable.

Although separating this part of the mark wouldn't cause An Ling'er too much harm, her cultivation speed could have been much faster if she had the complete mark.

Now that the mark is damaged, the effectiveness of the Immortal Immortal Mark has been greatly reduced.

The two spent more than a month in the cave before leaving.

This time, Su You took An Ling'er away from Cloud Sea Immortal City and came to the Endless Sea in the east.

This place contains the deepest ocean in the vast world of Canghai. Even powerful beings at the Tribulation Transcending Realm can only return empty-handed if they try to explore the deepest part of the endless sea.

The endless sea is also a paradise for sea creatures, with countless sea creatures making their home in the ocean.

Not only the Endless Sea, but since the destruction of the Lingbao Great World, the land has decreased and the ocean has increased, and the era of sea monsters has gradually arrived.

In particular, a group of powerful sea creatures from beyond the realm came here and established themselves as kings of the ocean, marking the true rise of the sea monsters.

Previously, they could rely on their reproductive ability and numbers, and the strength of the higher-ups was not outstanding. As long as the high-end combat power of the human race appeared, it would be easy to wipe out these sea beasts.

However, after the arrival of those ninth-tier powerhouses from the sea race, who were comparable to those who had transcended the tribulation realm, the world's格局 (geju, a concept encompassing both the overall situation and the overall structure) changed. Sea beasts were no longer resources kept by humans, but became a real threat.

The Endless Sea, located to the east of the Cloud Sea Immortal City, is one of the main bases of sea beasts, where countless sea beasts live.

Of course, there are also many human cultivators who come here to take risks.

After all, sea beasts are an extremely precious resource. From their flesh and blood, leather, bones, and even their demon cores, every part of their bodies has a purpose.

In the world of cultivation, a large portion of elixirs, magical artifacts, and talismans are made from materials found on demonic beasts, indicating that the exploitation of demonic beasts has reached its limit.

Of course, for demon beasts, humans are also a great source of nourishment delivered to their doorstep. They don't have the various skills that humans possess, but simply swallowing them whole is still considered a great source of nourishment.

After all, the process of cultivating immortality is a gradual transcendence of the mortal world, and the physical body is purified step by step. The golden core of humans is also of great use to them.

Su You and An Ling'er came here not to hunt sea monsters.

Although with their current strength, they could earn a lot of spirit stones by hunting sea beasts here, the risks would also be much greater.

This is still the territory of sea beasts, and unless it is an old monster at the Tribulation Transcending Realm, no one would dare to be too arrogant here.

However, An Ling was more suited to a place like the Endless Sea than Su You.

Perhaps due to her special constitution, An Ling'er has an extraordinary affinity for sea beasts. As long as they don't attack her maliciously, they won't react when An Ling'er passes by them.

They came here this time, naturally not to test An Ling'er's special physique.

Instead, they came to test the Sea Emperor Conch that had been unsealed and become a celestial artifact.

This was the first time Su You had ever seen a magic weapon of the Immortal level. Even with the Dream Butterfly Sect's resources, cultivating a ninth-order magic weapon was already the limit, let alone an Immortal weapon.

However, there are still many immortal artifacts within the Lingbao Sect, which are the sect's most treasured possessions. He only saw the brief splendor of those immortal artifacts during that final battle.

Therefore, he was still very curious about An Ling'er obtaining a celestial artifact this time.

After all, immortal artifacts are far superior to ninth-tier magic treasures.

Although the artifact in An Ling'er's hand is just an ordinary low-grade immortal artifact, if it can unleash its full power, it will be an earth-shattering existence.

However, An Ling'er's cultivation level is currently limited, and a portion of the power of the immortal artifact is still sealed, allowing her to unleash only a portion of its capabilities. Only when her cultivation level increases again will it unlock greater power.

An Ling'er reached out and a magnificent turquoise conch shell, inlaid with various gemstones, appeared in her hand.

The sea snail has completely changed. It used to have a very simple appearance, but now it has become very gorgeous.

Woo! Woo! Woo! ...

An Ling'er gently blew the conch shell, and an invisible sound wave was transmitted outwards.

After playing the conch shell once, An Ling'er put it down.

"Is that all?" Su You asked, somewhat puzzled.

From his perspective, An Ling'er only blew on it lightly, and the conch shell didn't even make a sound before the process ended.

“Okay, Brother You, we can just wait here. The summoning sound I just blew will only be heard by specific sea beasts. Now we just need to wait for them to hear it and come over.” An Ling’er nodded affirmatively.

The inherited memories she received were not just limited to cultivation techniques; they naturally included the method of using the Sea King Conch.

Su You didn't hesitate, after all, this was a celestial artifact-level magic treasure, naturally possessing various unique and powerful abilities. An Ling'er didn't linger either; she and Su You immediately plunged into the ocean, once again channeling their magic power into the sea conch.

Su You could clearly see that seawater was being continuously sucked into the conch shell, making the surrounding ocean currents more than ten thousand times faster, and even creating towering waves on the sea surface tens of thousands of miles away.

This is another of the conch's little abilities: there is a small world inside the conch, which is not particularly special.

However, after the seal was broken, the center of the small world inside could actually refine the ocean and extract higher-level spiritual water.

For example, ordinary seawater can be refined into mono-type heavy water, and further refined into binary-type heavy water, and so on, continuously refining it.

An Ling'er's current cultivation level is high enough to refine seven-element heavy water, which is an extremely precious refining material with very high value.

In other words, after acquiring this magical artifact, An Ling'er also gained the ability to make money.

A continuous stream of seawater is drawn into the conch shell, where it is refined time and again in its microcosm.

After a day of refining, the ocean that had been absorbed had been transformed into a pile of monolithic heavy water.

One-yuan heavy water is naturally worthless, but the more refined it is, the more valuable it becomes.

This step requires not only profound cultivation but also a long period of time to accomplish.

However, An Ling'er doesn't need to go through such trouble. After she inhales enough seawater, the conch will operate on its own, continuously refining the seawater.

Of course, this refining process is not something that can be achieved overnight. It takes some time to refine it to the level of Seven-Element Heavy Water.

Of course, this speed is definitely faster than manual tempering, and the efficiency is also much higher. As long as it does not exceed the sea snail's tolerance limit, the tempering process can be carried out simultaneously with any amount of seawater.

After confirming that the Sea King Conch possessed this powerful ability, Su You was also very envious, as it was an excellent treasure for earning spirit stones.

A single drop of Seven-Element Heavy Water requires a powerful cultivator at the Integration Realm to spend a hundred years refining countless seawaters to obtain even one drop.

At a previous auction, Su You had seen a piece of Seven Yuan Heavy Water being auctioned, which eventually sold for a sky-high price of over six million high-grade spirit stones.

Regardless of how fast the conch shell can be quenched, its efficiency in quenching simultaneously means that even if the speed is a little slower, it doesn't matter.

If multiple drops of Seven-Element Heavy Water could be refined simultaneously, it would be an invaluable treasure for creating wealth, far surpassing even Su You's Qionghua Cauldron, which was dedicated to alchemy.

I wonder how many pills he would refine with his Qionghua Cauldron to sell for six million high-grade spirit stones.

On the fifth day, the tempering of the mono-element heavy water was completed, and all the mono-element heavy water inside had been transformed into binary heavy water, but the quantity was reduced by ten thousand times.

This is normal. For every additional dollar, the weight of water increases ten thousandfold, while the corresponding quantity decreases ten thousandfold.

This also requires sufficient seawater to replenish the water in order to continuously refine higher quality heavy water.

A month has passed, and the sea snail continues to refine the seawater. The quality of the heavy water inside has now reached the third level.

However, the conch shell that An Ling'er blew at the beginning seemed to have no effect whatsoever.

Su You wasn't in a hurry and waited patiently.

Now that he's by An Ling'er's side, he's not afraid of being bothered by the monsters in the sea.

Moreover, after An Ling'er's magic weapon is unsealed, although it cannot pose a fatal threat to a Tribulation Transcending Realm expert, it is enough to withstand the attack of a Tribulation Transcending Realm expert, thus giving her a chance to escape.

“They’re here!” An Ling’er seemed to sense something, floating in the ocean and gazing at the endless, deep sea.

really!

As soon as An Ling'er finished speaking, Su You felt a huge upheaval in the surrounding ocean.

This turbulence was not caused by any force, but rather by the changes brought about by the movement of extremely large creatures.

Soon, he saw giant sea monsters, hundreds of miles long, in the distance.

These giant sea beasts are all well-known sea monster races, and their strength is extremely powerful, all reaching the seventh level.

However, they now lay prostrate at An Ling'er's feet, quietly awaiting her command.

"Is this the true purpose of the conch shell?" Su You couldn't help but swallow.

This is indeed incredibly powerful, capable of remotely summoning strange monsters from the ocean and completely controlling them.

Moreover, this is not the limit of the Sea King Conch. Due to the limitations of An Ling'er's strength, she can currently only summon a maximum of ten seventh-tier marine monsters, one hundred sixth-tier marine monsters, and one thousand fifth-tier marine monsters.

These demonic beasts were all at the peak of their respective levels: peak of the fifth rank, peak of the sixth rank, and peak of the seventh rank.

Although An Ling'er is limited by her strength and cannot summon higher-level demonic beasts, she can demand that the strength of demonic beasts at each level reach its peak.

This is why it took her so long to summon these monsters after blowing the conch shell.

Firstly, the sound waves from the conch shell need to spread out, which takes some time. If there are no suitable monsters nearby, the sound waves need to continue spreading until a suitable monster appears and is controlled to come over.

An Ling'er gently patted the conch shell in her hand, and all the demon beasts moved in perfect unison, appearing as if they possessed a special kind of beauty under her command.

Of course, just having a good-looking appearance doesn't serve any purpose.

An Ling'er's current command is actually to instill knowledge of formations into these demonic beasts, making them mechanically and passively master the formations.

Once fully mastered, the grand formation formed by all these demonic beasts together will be the most powerful killing move.

Otherwise, simply summoning demonic beasts of the same level, even those at their peak, would be too difficult to fight across realms.

However, with such a large number of demonic beasts forming a demonic beast, they need not worry at all even if they collide head-on with those eighth-tier demonic beasts, and even killing those ordinary eighth-tier demonic beasts is a piece of cake.

The training went very smoothly. After all, these demonic beasts seemed to be enslaved, completely obeying An Ling'er's commands. In less than half a month, they had already mastered the basic positioning and usage methods.

After that, it will take time to work together until the formation can be used to its full potential.

After the initial adjustment period, An Ling'er waved her hand, and a spatial gate opened, allowing a stream of demonic beasts to enter the ocean world inside.
