Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 184 Fall
Before Su You could ask any further questions...

A faint, mocking voice echoed from the void.

"I thought someone was investigating us, but it turns out to be two little bugs. Still, it's not bad to have an eighth-tier magic weapon. It's mine now."

As soon as he finished speaking, an incredibly powerful beam of light shot directly at Su You and An Ling'er from the void.

The entire landscape of thousands of miles was instantly annihilated, and Su You didn't even have time to react before he turned into smoke in the endless light.

Only An Ling'er was unharmed because the conch shell automatically protected her.

"Brother You!" An Ling'er roared as she looked around.

Although Su You had told her that he had his own way of saving his life, she was still very flustered at the moment of his death.

Now she has only one thought: to kill these cultivators and avenge Su You.

……

Babel Vine World.

Su You looked around at the scene with a sense of helplessness.

After several days of physical reconstruction, he has recovered.

This is also the first time he has returned, or rather, returned from the dead, after spending nearly a thousand years in the outside world.

However, this time he died somewhat unjustly; he was attacked before he could even react.

This time, the enemy was clearly quite strong, and when he sent out an eighth-tier magic weapon to investigate, it was discovered and thus tracked him down.

Moreover, the opponent's methods were decisive; they used their ultimate move right from the start, without wasting any words with them. Perhaps, the attack had already arrived suddenly when they heard the opponent speaking.

Unlike An Ling'er, Su You doesn't have the instinctive protection of a magical artifact. In a battle of this level, even being caught in the crossfire could easily lead to his demise, let alone being at the heart of the conflict.

Although Su You didn't know the other party's cultivation level, the ability to unleash such power instantly meant that the opponent was definitely not weak, at least at the Integration Realm, and possibly even stronger.

Su You wasn't too worried about An Ling'er's safety.

Even if she hadn't obtained those eighth-tier magic treasures before, she would have been able to escape unharmed with just the immortal artifact, the Sea Emperor Conch.

Surely not all of them are at the True Immortal realm. If they were, they wouldn't have come to this True Dragon Secret Realm.

Moreover, there are very few True Immortals even in the vast ocean world.

It's possible to reach the Tribulation Transcending Realm, but the probability is very low.

However, if they are at the Mahayana or Integration Realm, An Ling'er would have a chance to keep them all.

If An Ling'er hadn't possessed this ability before, it's because the immortal artifact she held could only unleash a small portion of its power.

However, things changed drastically after she gained control of those eighth-tier magical treasures.

These magical artifacts all possess artifact spirits, and their strength can actually be regarded as equivalent to that of a cultivator at the Mahayana realm. They can even attack autonomously without the need for their master to control them.

The difference between having a spirit and not having one is that great. A magical artifact without a spirit still needs the master's control, and its power depends on the master's strength.

If a magical artifact has a spirit, its control over the artifact is already perfect. As long as the artifact has sufficient spiritual energy reserves, it can unleash its full power.

This is why these magical treasures devoured spiritual energy everywhere they went as soon as they appeared.

If a magical artifact has no stored spiritual energy, it is difficult to unleash its power with just the artifact spirit. It either relies on the owner's magical power or on the energy stored within the artifact itself.

This fall made Su You realize once again that if one's cultivation is too weak, encountering high-level battles would likely result in instant death.

In the world of cultivation, cultivation level is everything; all other external forces are illusory.

Of course, if someone like An Ling'er has a powerful inheritance protecting her and a celestial artifact protecting her, then it's a different story.

Despite this fall, Su You suffered virtually no loss.

He didn't keep the spiritual herbs and medicinal spirits he had collected on his person, but stored them on other eighth-tier magic treasures.

He hadn't taken his spoils from the Heavenly Dragon Treasure Trove with him; he had left them with An Ling'er.

It's a bit of a shame that they weren't teleported back, but it's better than losing them in battle.

Now that he had successfully returned, Su You was in no hurry to leave.

He had told An Ling'er long ago that if he were to perish unexpectedly, she should not worry, as he would definitely return to Yunhai City within a thousand years.

This time, Su You was prepared to leave with his clone the next time he departed.

There's not much use for the clone to stay in this realm any longer.

Before discovering the True Dragon Realm and obtaining the treasures left behind by the other party, the foundation established by his avatar on this side was the most important foundation for him, and even the source of his wealth.

However, even if only one item is taken from Tianlong's treasure body, its value is greater than the value that the twin clones have worked hard to develop here for a hundred years.

In that case, we can indeed abandon our foundation here, especially since the situation in this realm is already quite strange.

The existence of such a special spiritual root is indeed puzzling.

Regarding spiritual roots, after leaving this realm, the inspiration within Su You's body gradually dissipated and eventually dissolved into his body.

With the help of the magical artifact, An Ling'er conducted a thorough investigation and found that there should be no problem.

If even this kind of power cannot detect the hidden dangers of spiritual roots, then the world is far too complex.

Regarding the archives of his physical body and soul, Su You still retains a record of the earliest spiritual root when it existed, as a precaution in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

Although the foundation of this world is to be shifted, it will not happen in a short period of time.

The main reason is that the twin clones must leave safely.

After all, the twin clones carried not only various riches and magical treasures, but also a large number of talented people. These were the important foundations for them to start anew after leaving this world.

The only way to leave safely is to repair the Dream Butterfly Mirror.

Repairing the Dream Butterfly Mirror requires a massive amount of world essence. Based on the previous rate of conquering and plundering world essence, it would take at least tens of thousands of years to fully repair it.

Su You doesn't have the energy to wait patiently right now; the only solution is to speed things up.

Previously, his method of plundering the world's origin was simply to set up arrays within the world and slowly extract a trace of its origin by utilizing the world's fluctuations. This method was inefficient, but its advantage lay in its simplicity and sustainability.

But it's no longer applicable to him now.

Su You plans to switch to another method of plundering the world's origin: completely destroy the world and seize its vast world origin at the moment of destruction.

There was another method, which was to use the Heavenly Vine to plunder the world's origin, but unfortunately its growth is too slow and it does not yet have this ability.

It cannot be said that the growth of the Heavenly Vine is slow. In fact, its growth rate is not slow at all. With the accumulation of a large number of rare and precious materials, its growth rate is visible to the naked eye.

However, compared to Su You, who is growing up much faster, he can no longer keep up with his pace.

Su You looked at the towering vine beside him, his heart filled with ambition, "One day I'll have you in my possession."

Only such a powerful Heavenly Vine could satisfy his ambition.

However, his current strength is far from enough to subdue this Heavenly Vine; it would be difficult even within tens of thousands of years.

But since he had a Daoist partner with extraordinary talent, he planned to have her come over and take this Heavenly Vine after An Ling'er became an immortal.

Such a massive, towering vine has yet to be discovered by other powerful individuals. If it were discovered, its spiritual root would be incredibly valuable, whether used to refine magical artifacts or for other purposes.

After figuring out his plan, Su You immediately began to execute it.

While the conquest of the world will not cease, the expansion into new worlds will no longer be undertaken.

Those who had any remaining manpower were all sent back to the world they had already conquered.

This time, with the world destroyed, nothing inside can be left behind.

Su You immediately activated the locust swarm mode, packing up and taking everything that could be taken from these worlds, including the living beings within them.

He wasn't the kind of person who acted recklessly. He would still spare the lives of the creatures inside, and they would also be transported to the Wizard Tower world.

Of course, living beings are also a kind of resource, and he will not waste them.

The twin clones' natal spirit treasure, the Wizard Tower, has now reached the peak of the fifth rank. The twin clones' cultivation has also been forcibly pushed to the Void Refinement Realm. It's just a pity that there are no subsequent cultivation techniques.

While both cultivation level and natal spirit treasure can continue to improve, improving the natal spirit treasure will no longer provide any benefit to cultivation level.

Therefore, even though Su You still had many precious materials that could improve the quality of his natal spirit treasure, he left them behind for the time being and devoted all his energy to the renovation of the wizard tower's interior space.

The Wizard Tower, now consisting of one hundred floors, has all grown into medium-sized spaces, with the middle ten floors and the two outer twenty floors all upgraded to large spaces.

The space inside is extremely vast, its area being equivalent to a small continent in the Middle Thousand Worlds.

Although a large space is far from being able to contain a microscopic world or even a small world.

However, Su You did not completely empty the entire world.

At most, it would involve relocating parts of the mountains, land, rivers, flowers, trees, and so on.

Although the large space has a large area, it is just a blank space inside.

Space, space, is actually just blank space, unlike the world, which can generate all things on its own. Even at a very slow speed, it can still generate a complete world.

Since the space itself lacks this capability, it naturally needs to be moved from the outside to become a complete world.

From the very beginning, the legion Su You sent out, along with a large number of cultivators from the original world, all joined in the digging and tree-digging process, starting from the initial soil layer.

Before long, it filled the surface of the space with a layer.

As for the mountains and rivers inside, ordinary cultivators naturally cannot handle them; only cultivators of the third rank or above can do it.

Low-lying mountains and streams are handled by third-level cultivators, while taller mountains are handled by cultivators at the Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation stages.

As for the higher mountains, Su You himself would have to take the Dream Butterfly Mirror and collect them one by one before moving them into the space.

After the basic environment of the interior space was completed, Su Youcai began to send people to organize and gradually transfer the population in.

In addition, we should extract as many useful resources as possible from this world and try to take them all with us.

Things like spiritual veins were all transferred and taken away. Even though these spiritual veins probably wouldn't last long after the transfer, their depletion would still have a stabilizing effect on the entire land.

Moreover, once the spiritual veins are depleted, they cannot be restored. However, once these spaces are upgraded to worlds, the possibility of these spiritual veins being restored is very high.

Moreover, the resources that Su You can invest in these layers of space are limited. In the future, the only resources he can invest will most likely be spiritual energy. The development of the creatures and civilizations within will still depend on the resources within the space itself.

Of course, there are also some necessary resources that need to be invested, namely various minerals and medicinal seed.

After all, it's just an artificial world without various spiritual minerals. We need to consider creating some of those in the future so that the creatures inside can mine them themselves.

In addition, a large amount of investment is needed to cultivate medicinal herbs in order to enrich the world's ecosystem.

Anyway, these resources won't be wasted if they're invested in the space; they'll just circulate within it.

If space grows into a world, these resource investments will continue to drive that world's growth.

The world's ascension system does not yet exist, so there is no need for it, but the world's resources are being lost.

Even with the existence of the Ascension System, resource loss only occurs from the lower world of the Wizard Tower to the upper world, and Su You will replenish it.

Su You has not yet studied the ascension system, and it is difficult for him to study it, since it concerns the essence of the laws of the world, and it is difficult to study this aspect without becoming an immortal.

Although it is impossible to study it, there are still alternative methods.

That is to use the Tongtian Vine as a substitute.

The Heavenly Vine itself has the characteristic that it cannot fly around and can only climb from above. If a test is set on the Heavenly Vine, and you can pass it, you will reach the end of the world and then use the interdimensional teleportation array to travel to a higher level of the world.

The relocation of the realm was extremely troublesome, with many unexpected events, but under the control of absolute power, all the unexpected events were nipped in the bud.

In less than ten years, the first world completed its relocation.

This speed is already quite fast, and with the experience gained from the first world, subsequent world relocations can be accelerated.

Of course, this is also thanks to the fact that the world they live in is of a very low level.
