Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 196 Different
Of course, the probability of an eighth-order magic weapon appearing in the Treasure Realm is very low. At least in the hundreds of thousands of years since the Treasure Realm Immortal City was established, only five have appeared on the surface. As for whether more eighth-order magic weapons have been brought out in secret, that remains unknown.

However, the probability of low-level magic treasures appearing in the Treasure Realm is still quite high.

Therefore, for those low-level cultivators, spending a hundred spirit stones to enter the treasure realm and try it out is still something they are willing to do.

Although the Dream Butterfly Sect did not record the secret techniques of the Treasure Realm, it still kept detailed records of it.

Even back in the Dream Butterfly Sect, there was a treasure realm, an eighth-order treasure realm, which was built by the first ancestor and nurtured by the Dream Butterfly Sect for countless years before it became an eighth-order treasure realm.

The daily operation of the Treasure Realm requires a large amount of spiritual energy and endless soul power to construct such a realistic world and make the objects within it real.

The opening of this Treasure Realm Immortal City is probably intended to harvest the soul power of those cultivators.

After all, when a cultivator enters the treasure realm, it is not their physical body that enters, but a wisp of their divine consciousness. If they die inside, this wisp of divine consciousness will remain inside permanently. Even if they do not perish, the consumption of divine consciousness inside will still leave a portion of their soul power in the treasure realm.

It can be said that each treasure realm has its own unique characteristics. For example, the treasure realm built by the Dream Butterfly Sect is specifically designed to produce various treasures for the Dream Butterfly Sect's cultivation, as well as various dream-attribute treasures.

After all, treasures with dream attributes are extremely rare in the ordinary material world, but they can be mass-produced in the treasure world.

This is also the power of the Treasure Realm Secret Technique. With the Treasure Realm, it can be said that there are no difficult cultivation techniques or secret techniques in the world, nor are there any difficult-to-obtain treasures or materials.

Unfortunately, although the original treasure realm of the Dream Butterfly Sect was moved into the minor world of the Dream Butterfly Mirror, it was difficult to maintain as the spiritual energy inside gradually withered, and Chen Hao abandoned it long ago.

It should be noted that this is an eighth-order illusory world. Even at the height of the Dream Butterfly Sect's power, it required a large number of spiritual veins to maintain the operation of this treasure realm.

In the minor world of Dream Butterfly Realm, the high-level spiritual veins are like water without roots, constantly withering away after their spiritual energy is exhausted.

The Treasure Realm's demand for spiritual energy was too extreme, so after it drained dozens of spiritual veins, it simply abandoned its operation.

Even so, when the Dream Butterfly Mirror finally fell into Su You's hands, it only had one eighth-order spiritual vein that had been downgraded considerably. The other spiritual veins had long been drained and exhausted, turning into nothingness over hundreds of thousands of years.

After all, once the spiritual veins are drained, if they can survive for a short period of time, they can be reactivated with the help of spiritual energy. However, if the time is too long, they will break down and become useless.

Therefore, after the Treasure Realm withered, only one Treasure Realm seed remained. If one had the secret technique to open up a Treasure Realm, this seed could be used to open up the Dream Butterfly Treasure Realm world again, and the level of the world opened up would not be too low.

Su You came here this time to explore the mysteries within this treasure realm.

Because the Lingbao Sect and its affiliated sects all possess treasure realms, he cannot determine whether this treasure realm was left behind by an affiliated sect or left behind by the Lingbao Sect outside.

If it's a treasure left behind by an affiliated sect, then it's worthless to Su You. After all, affiliated sects are basically like the Dream Butterfly Sect, only possessing a portion of the Spirit Treasure Sect's inheritance.

If it was left behind by the Lingbao Sect, although there may not be any inheritance left, we can still look for clues inside.

After paying one million spirit stones, Su You received a token. He then entered a special cultivation room, activated the token, and entered the world of the Treasure Realm with a wisp of his divine consciousness.

……

The Cloud Record World.

Looking at the pure white brocade robes he was wearing, and then at the endless clouds around him, Su You felt a sense of disorientation, as if he were in a strange world.

"It truly is a real virtual world." Su You couldn't help but sigh, unable to detect even the slightest hint of falsehood in this world.

Although I have no cultivation level now, it still works when I actually circulate the technique, just like in the real world.

Su You also did not practice the cultivation technique he originally practiced.

Because he knew that any cultivation technique used in this world would leave a mark, and if the owner of the treasure realm examined it, he could extract that technique.

Although he was cultivating a fragment of a ninth-order technique, he would not leave this technique to the master of the treasure realm.

Besides, since it's just a virtual world, you can just casually cultivate any mid-to-high-level technique.

As the cultivation technique was activated, his strength rapidly increased, reaching the Foundation Establishment realm in just one day.

This is practically impossible in the real world, but it can be done in this virtual world.

After all, he spent a million spirit stones to buy that token, which allowed him to directly possess the body of a human with exceptional talent upon entering this world.

Of course, this possession is random; it may possess a cultivator or a mortal.

Su You's luck wasn't great; he only managed to possess a mortal's body.

Fortunately, his purpose in coming to this world was not for any so-called magical treasures, but to explore the specific circumstances of this world. He only needed a general understanding of the system of this world.

Previously, I had no cultivation at all, but now that I have some, I can explore the surrounding area.

With a gentle push, Su You stepped onto the clouds.

"This cloud... it's actually a physical entity?" Su You's expression showed surprise.

He had found it strange that the clouds around him were so low, but he never expected that they were all solid.

As Su You continued to travel on the clouds, he soon saw several cultivators gathering cloud mist around a colorful cloud.

With a flick of his finger, Su You used magic to bind them, and then began to search their souls.

“The Cloud Register Realm… The Cloud Register seems somewhat familiar…” Su You quickly flipped through the memories of these people.

Although this is an illusory world, the world inside is real, and even these cultivators are all real; they are just unable to transcend to the outside world.

After the soul search was completed, Su You gained some understanding of this world.

The cultivation system in this realm is called Cloud Register, which involves collecting the essence of clouds in the sky, absorbing it into the dantian, and compiling it into Cloud Registers.

"The Plain Cloud Brocade Banner!" Su You immediately thought of a ninth-tier magic weapon. This Cloud Talisman technique was precisely the core of that magic weapon.

What makes this world special is the Cloud Register method, so this world should be the treasure realm created by the Cloud Brocade Banner Sect that controls the Su Realm.

Because, according to the catalog of the ninth-tier magic weapon that Su You saw, this magic weapon was not a magic weapon of the Lingbao Sect itself, but a magic weapon of an affiliated sect.

Su You was slightly disappointed, after all, another piece of news about the Lingbao Sect had emerged.

Of course, there was also good news: Su You was certain that the city lord of Baojing Immortal City possessed the inheritance of Suyun Sect, or at least that ninth-tier magic weapon.

Otherwise, the other party wouldn't be able to manage such a treasure realm, not to mention that they always make high-level purchases of items produced from the treasure realm, so they definitely control the relevant items.

Regardless of whether the other party possesses the inheritance of the Suyun Sect or that ninth-tier magic weapon, if they can obtain it, it will at least add a ninth-tier magic weapon crafting sequence to Su You's refining process.

After pondering for a moment, Su You withdrew from this realm.

His purpose in coming to this treasure realm was not to obtain magic treasures. Even if he were to create an eighth-tier magic treasure, it would not be something that could be accomplished in a short time.

The creation of an eighth-tier magic weapon can be said to involve the very origin of this world. Unless one does something that can affect an entire world, it is impossible to bring out an eighth-tier magic weapon.

If he stays here for hundreds or thousands of years, he might have a great impact on this world and bring out an eighth-tier magic weapon.

However, realistically speaking, wasting so much time to obtain an eighth-tier magic weapon is indeed not worthwhile, and there's no guarantee of success.

"We must find a way to obtain the technology from the Treasure Realm!" Su You said with a determined expression.

The Treasure Realm is arguably one of the most helpful spiritual treasure techniques for one's natal magic weapon, especially for special magic weapons, where it provides tremendous assistance.

The Treasure Realm can produce magical treasures of the same origin, which can be directly absorbed and refined by one's natal magical treasure.

The ability to absorb the essence of a magical artifact of the same origin is far more effective than any other method of nurturing a treasure.

If Su You can construct a treasure realm, he can continuously produce magical artifacts of the same origin as the Wizard Tower. Once these magical artifacts materialize, his natal spirit treasure can directly absorb and evolve them.

This is why there are a large number of ninth-order magic treasures within the Lingbao Sect. Even some cultivators at the Mahayana realm possess ninth-order magic treasures, demonstrating the powerful effects of these treasure-nurturing techniques.

Su You currently possesses only a few methods for nurturing treasures. One of them is the method of storing spiritual veins and roots and storing worlds. This method allows one to store treasures within spiritual veins, roots, and worlds, using their inherent power to cultivate the quality of the treasures.

This method does have some effect, but the improvement is extremely slow, especially the former. The quality of the spiritual veins and roots to be stored must be far higher than that of the magic weapon. Ideally, they should be spiritual veins and roots that are two realms higher than the magic weapon itself. This will bring the best effect to the magic weapon stored there.

The same applies to the world storage method. The more powerful the chosen world, the better the effect. However, this method can only be successful when used on worlds that are completely under one's control.

Besides this method, there is also the method of splitting magic treasures. That is, to establish a sect and have all the disciples of the sect refine the same kind of magic treasure. When a disciple dies, the sect can directly absorb the other party's natal magic treasure as resources.

Originally, Su You could still use the Treasure Realm technique. Although he couldn't use it on his natal magic weapon, he could use it on the Dream Butterfly Mirror. Unfortunately, the Treasure Realm had withered, and he would need to use a secret technique to reopen it.

Moreover, if Su You were to create another world in the future, the world he chose to create would only be related to his natal magic weapon, so that it would provide him with the greatest assistance.

After confirming that there was nothing he wanted there, Su You quickly left.

Although they coveted the inheritance or treasures of the Suyun Sect, the Treasure Realm Immortal City was not as simple as they had imagined.

A cultivator at the Mahayana realm who can control this immortal city and possess a treasure like an eighth-order treasure must have extraordinary strength or powerful backing.

Otherwise, even if the production volume of such a treasure realm, capable of mass-producing eighth-tier magic treasures, is very low, it would not be something that a mere Mahayana cultivator could master.

Although Su You was confident in killing an ordinary Mahayana cultivator, he was not confident in killing a Mahayana cultivator whose trump cards were unknown.

If the other party has that ninth-tier magic treasure, the Su Jie Yun Jin Qi (素界云锦旗), then it will be really difficult to get it.

After all, that ninth-tier magic weapon was known for its defensive capabilities, while Su You, or rather An Ling'er, only possessed a few eighth-tier magic weapons that were good at killing. It was simply impossible for them to kill the opponent.

However, since the other party has been rooted here for hundreds of thousands of years, there is no need to worry about the other party disappearing. As long as one's strength increases, it will be within one's grasp sooner or later.

After leaving this place, Su You immediately headed to the next location.

Over the years, he has collected far too many clues.

These clues are a mix of truth and falsehood, making it impossible to distinguish between them. He needs to personally explore them one by one to see if he can find any useful clues.

……

Thirty years later.

Su You suddenly emerged from a trench and transformed into a bolt of lightning, flashing rapidly across the ocean.

Unfortunately, that giant tentacle seemed to be able to extend indefinitely. Even though he used the lightning flash technique to quickly escape, he was still unable to escape the tentacle's grasp.

In the end, his entire body was swallowed up by a huge mouth and he was swallowed alive.

Su You was prepared for this situation. He sealed off his sense of taste and endured the powerful acid for several seconds before turning into a liquid.

A few days later, Su You was resurrected and returned.

Over the past few decades, Su You has explored the locations of nearly three hundred ruins in search of clues about the Lingbao Sect's heritage.

Su You experienced hundreds of deaths before he was able to fully explore these ruins.

Unfortunately, no trace of the Lingbao Sect's heritage was found. The only good news was that traces of many of the Lingbao Sect's affiliated sects, as well as some treasures, were found.
