Cultivation: But Not a Game

The Battle Immortal Body cannot be upgraded as it merges with the Form Body of the Loose Immortal upon Su Yu’s Dao Foundation establishment, and can only be enhanced by advancing in realm.

After the second Great Celestial Tribulation and the condensation of the Immortal Golden Elixir, this true body will evolve into the Earth Immortal Form.

Therefore, Su Yu’s choice is clear: to invest in the Law of Time.

There’s no alternative to choose from.

His Immortal Foundation is consolidated with the Law of Time at its core, if not this, then what?

The higher the level of the Law of Time, the greater his mastery over it, and the powers derived from it will also increase in potency.

Now, with the Law of Time at +2, the various swordsmanship techniques derived from the Fate Sword Canon will also be enhanced in power.

Having made this choice, all the benefits gained from this minor chaos tribulation have been fully assimilated, leading to an earth-shattering transformation, with his strength undergoing qualitative evolution.

"Powerful!"

Su Yu estimated in his heart that his strength after the celestial tribulation definitely would not be inferior to the true disciples of the sect, and once all gains were fully assimilated, equipped with all weapons and treasures, even some weaker true disciples might not be his match.

Of course, this refers to conventional combat strength; if releasing a full-force skill like the Law of Heaven and Earth, unless the opponent has an equally powerful ultimate move, otherwise they would be crushed.

Shutting the panel, Su Yu exhaled lightly and flew out from the Tribulation Crossing Platform.

"Master, I succeeded!"

Master Xuanwei stroked his beard and laughed heartily:

"Very good!"

"Follow me."

With a sweep of his sleeve, an invisible force enveloped him, soaring skyward.

If it was in the past, he would only feel a change in space and arrive at his destination, but now that his realm has advanced, his vision and divine sense have improved, allowing him to discern some techniques of his master.

Just simple fleeting flight, carrying someone along, the speed too fast like teleportation.

Returning to the floating grand hall, the master swept his sleeve setting up restrictions, eyes bright as he assessed Su Yu, with anticipation asking:

"Child, tell me, did you establish a super-grade Immortal Foundation?"

This question was somewhat redundant, as he had already been clear on the foundation establishment when he asked his master earlier, but Master Xuanwei wanted to hear him say it to set his mind at ease.

Su Yu did not hide, nodding and said:

"Disciple has indeed established an Immortal Foundation!"

"Good!"

Master Xuanwei joyfully clapped his hands, paced in the hall.

Yet the master was only momentarily joyous, suddenly turning with a serious expression to Su Yu, saying:

"Do not casually spread this matter, externally just say established a first-grade Dao Foundation."

"???"

Then he shifted his tone, saying:

"However, you need not worry, the fact that you established a super-grade Immortal Foundation will be known within the sect, and the benefits due to you will be granted."

"According to sect regulations, any disciple establishing a super-grade Immortal Foundation will become a sect Dao Child, eligible to inherit one sect treasure from the ancestral hall, these will not be lacking for you."

"But the tallest tree in the forest invites strong winds; you’ve just established the Dao Foundation, and haven’t fully assimilated the abilities. If this news spreads, rival sects will undoubtedly not wish to see the rise of the sect’s Dao Child, posing dangers when you are outside."

Su Yu immediately asked:

"Will their elders disregard the rules and act?"

"Openly no, but possibly employing disreputable means like assassination or curse slaying."

"Oh, disciple understands!"

Keeping low-key then, it’s fine, the benefits won’t lack.

Moreover, it’s just being low-key for a while, until his strength increases there will be no fear.

Seeing him so humble even after establishing the Immortal Foundation, the master was very satisfied, stroking his beard smiling:

"Remember, the path of cultivation is long, a moment’s glory means little, it’s reaching the end that counts as heroism."

"Disciple will remember!"

"Hmm, come with me, I’ll take you to meet the Sect Leader, then to the sect inner treasury to retrieve a treasure."

Su Yu’s eyes instantly lit up, filled with anticipation.

The title of treasure is not bestowed on ordinary treasures, not even typical tier ten treasures can be deemed treasures, only rare wonders or above qualify to be called treasures.

Having cultivated until now, finally there is the possibility of acquiring a tier ten treasure.

Su Yu was full of anticipation.

Master again swept the sleeve, enveloping him in a flight, unexpectedly this time the flight lasted quite a while, at least half an hour before stopping, arriving at a floating island suspended in mid-air.

The floating island is enormous, spanning hundreds of kilometers, shrouded in spiritual mist, like a celestial realm.

Su Yu inhaled a dense surge of Spiritual Qi, instantly refining it into over a million Spiritual Qi experience.

After taking more than a dozen breaths, he had already accumulated twenty million Spiritual Qi experience.

"Goodness, this level of Spiritual Qi..."

Just cultivating on the island, one could probably refine several hundred million Spiritual Qi experience in a day.

At this moment, the ancestor was already levitating towards the center of the island, quietly reminding:

"Follow me, and make sure not to be disrespectful when we meet the Sect Leader later."

"Okay."

Su Yu quickly followed.

The island’s scenery was extraordinarily beautiful, with a small mountain on each side, a small lake in the center, and a small river originating from the lake cascading off the edge of the floating island into an abyss below.

Following the river upstream, one would soon see a seemingly ordinary small courtyard by the lake, surrounded by bamboo fences, containing three bamboo houses, with a bamboo grove behind them rustling in the wind.

Su Yu saw a young man, dressed in coarse linen, extremely robust, chopping wood in the courtyard. He was quite surprised that this was what the sect leader looked like, and then saw the ancestor step forward and bow:

"Junior brother Xinlong, how have you been!"

Alright, this wasn’t the Sect Leader.

The man put down the axe, smiled, and said:

"So it’s Senior Brother Xuanwei, I’ve been well. Have you come to find the Sect Leader Master?"

Master Xuanwei nodded affirmatively and asked:

"I wonder if the Sect Leader Uncle is in?"

"The Master is napping, I’ll inform him."

Master Xuanwei quickly waved his hand, saying:

"No need, I can wait here."

The man nodded, looked at Su Yu behind, and asked with a smile:

"Is this your disciple, Senior Brother?"

"My disciple’s granddisciple!"

Su Yu quickly bowed:

"Disciple Su Yu, greets Martial Uncle!"

"Hmm, quite talented, looks like... huh?"

He suddenly appeared puzzled, looked up at Master Xuanwei, saw him with a self-satisfied smile, and showed a look of surprise, asking with a doubtful gaze:

"Senior Brother, your granddisciple, could it be that he has established a Super-grade Immortal Foundation?"

Master Xuanwei stroked his beard and laughed heartily, saying:

"Indeed!"

Xinlongzi’s eyes brightened up, scrutinizing Su Yu as if with X-ray vision from top to bottom, seemingly wanting to see through him completely.

"Excellent, a very solid foundation, indeed a Super-grade Immortal Foundation."

"According to our sect’s rules, those with a Super-grade Immortal Foundation are to be designated as Daozi of our sect. Is this why you’re here, Senior Brother?"

"Indeed."

"Congratulations, Senior Brother."

"Haha, just fortunate, just fortunate."

Xinlongzi rolled his eyes, thought for a moment, and flipped his hand to take out something, tossing it to Su Yu, who instinctively caught it, hearing Xinlongzi say:

"This item is a meeting gift for you from your Martial Uncle."

Su Yu quickly bowed:

"Su Yu thanks Martial Uncle for the gift!"

After the gift-giving, Xinlongzi and Master Xuanwei chatted leisurely in the courtyard, while Su Yu sat quietly aside, not speaking, secretly examining the gift he had just received from Xinlongzi, which turned out to be a fragment of law, containing the power of 23 laws.

"What a treasure!"

Instantly, Su Yu’s impression of this Martial Uncle, whom he had just met, greatly improved.

Though other gifts might not suit him, the law fragment could be applied anywhere, making it extremely versatile and entirely suitable for him.

The two elders chatted for quite some time, leaving Su Yu with nothing to do but look around.

The Spiritual Qi within this floating island was exceedingly abundant, and all plants on the island were of high-grade spiritual materials. The bamboo used for constructing these houses was all Refined Wind Bamboo, and the large bamboo grove behind the houses was all made of Refined Wind Bamboo, swaying and rustling in the wind. Lying here on a chair for a nap would absolutely be delightful.

"Creak!"

The door suddenly opened, and an elderly man with white hair and a white beard came out, stretching lazily and turning his body, looking like a frail old man rather than a sect leader.

But then.....

The conversation between the two Earth Immortal bigwigs instantly ceased, and they immediately went up to greet him, with Su Yu hastily following.

"Master!"

"Sect Leader Uncle!"

"Disciple Su Yu, greets the Immortal Venerable Sect Leader!"

The elderly man paused, his gaze sweeping over them, appearing like an ordinary old man without any oddities, but in reality, he was a Celestial Immortal at an overwhelming level of 320, the current sect leader, Immortal Venerable of Xuanzhen Immortal Sect.

The old man looked kindly, smiling as he spoke:

"So it’s little Xuanwei, it’s been a long time."

"Is this your granddisciple, a Super-grade Immortal Foundation, very good, much better than you back then."

The old man took the towel handed over by his disciple and wiped his face, continuing in a leisurely manner:

"According to the sect’s rules, a Super-grade Immortal Foundation should be designated as Daozi, no problem with that. I will soon offer a sacrificial ceremony to the ancestors, inform the entire sect, and host the Daozi Grand Ceremony."

The ancestor immediately said:

"The sect-wide announcement and the Daozi Grand Ceremony can be postponed."

The Profound Truth Immortal Venerable paused and nodded:

"Very well, having just crossed the Celestial Tribulation, it’s indeed not suitable to make a huge fuss now."

"Then let us first offer the sacrificial ceremony to the ancestors and confirm the title!"

The leisurely voice trailed off, and Su Yu suddenly felt that heaven and earth became somewhat blurred, a spell of distraction like his spirit wandered outside the sky.
