Cultivation: But Not a Game

"I’m glad I could help you."

The only thing Su Yu could do was to hold her tightly in his arms.

It’s a pity she hasn’t become immortal yet; taking her now would affect her future.

After a brief moment of intimacy with the beauty, Su Yu returned to his immortal mansion, took out the Thousand Beasts Demon Immortal Pill, and consumed it one by one, refining them.

"Tip: After consuming the Thousand Beasts Demon Immortal Pill, Qi and Blood +40000, Physique +4000, Strength +4000."

Three consecutive tips increased Qi and Blood by 120,000, Physique by 12,000, and Strength by 12,000.

The increase in Qi and Blood was nothing; relative to his more than five million Qi and Blood, it was a drop in the bucket, but the increase in 12,000 Physique and Strength was quite substantial.

With the Immortal Foundation plus the Nine Extremes Maitreya True Technique, and the addition of numerous Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Su Yu’s Qi and Blood had now reached more than five million, Physique 108,000, Strength 140,000, extremely powerful.

After refining the pills, Su Yu did not go out but continued to stay inside the Sea-Suppressing Pearl for cultivation.

As his physique greatly enhanced, with a physique now more powerful than a typical level 100 BOSS, the primordial Spiritual Qi within the Sea-Suppressing Pearl could now be actively absorbed for cultivation.

Apart from Cang Hai’s daily refinement that converts one hundred million Spiritual Qi experience within the Sea-Suppressing Pearl, he can now actively cultivate and refine nearly one hundred million Spiritual Qi experience per day.

It is noteworthy that this daily active refinement of Spiritual Qi experience is within the time of the Sea-Suppressing Pearl.

The Spiritual Qi experience Cang Hai refines in the Sea Suppressing Realm and the experience accumulated by the Spirit Gathering Bottle is in real time.

In other words, two hundred million Spiritual Qi experience in reality per day. But with a maximum time flow rate of a hundred times inside the Sea-Suppressing Pearl, one day outside is a hundred days inside, one hundred million per day equals ten billion.

Therefore, in the time he was waiting, by the time he received Li Hongfei’s notification, Su Yu had already refined 8.6 billion Spiritual Qi experience in one go.

Unfortunately, there was no Dao practice; the Sea-Suppressing Pearl could not generate Dao practice like the Profound Truth Cave Heaven.

The Nine Extremes Maitreya True Technique was elevated from the seventieth layer to the eightieth layer, despite the reduction of innate bone consumption, it still cost 8.07 billion Spiritual Qi experience and 10,625 Dao practice points, and derived a new method [Flesh Rebirth].

Flesh Rebirth: Severed limbs and internal organs can regrow slowly.

Su Yu took out the Star God Sword and cut off one of his fingers, the wound healed quickly without bleeding, but Flesh Rebirth was extremely slow, taking nearly ten minutes for the severed end to start sprouting.

At this moment, he pressed the severed finger against the wound, the flesh buds grew rapidly and reattached to the severed limb, taking only four to five minutes to reconnect.

"Useful, but not of much use at this stage."

At least when strength is not strong enough at this stage, it cannot be relied upon to have an effect in battle.

After the severed limb fully healed, Su Yu walked out of the Sea-Suppressing Pearl, opened the door, and saw many disciples from various sects gathered outside.

There were eight teams in total, representing the eight top sects from the Mainland of Divine Land.

Supreme Shenzhao Sect, one of the Fourteen Superior Sects.

Wuji Immortal Palace, one of the Fourteen Superior Sects.

Taixu Profound Sect, one of the Fourteen Superior Sects.

Xuantian Sword Sect: One of the Fifty-Eight Inferior Sects.

Star Lodge Sect, one of the Fifty-Eight Inferior Sects.

Xuan Yuan Palace, one of the Fifty-Eight Inferior Sects.

Mahe Zen Courtyard, one of the Fifty-Eight Inferior Sects.

Tianlong Temple, one of the Fifty-Eight Inferior Sects.

The strength disparity between Superior and Inferior Sects is significant. There is no specific ranking among the Superior Sects; each one far surpasses Xuanzhen Immortal Sect. Even Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, where Xia Xiaoyue comes from, is one of the Superior Sects, with a comprehensive strength surpassing the combined power of the five top sects on Blue Mountain Island.

These disciples from major sects were full of pride, and Su Yu keenly sensed that many people were looking at him, with eyes very much like....

The way city people look at country folks.

In response, Su Yu remained expressionless, pretending not to see.

If this were on Blue Mountain Island, he’d have to let them experience what it means to be a Dao Child of an Immortal Sect.

But here, on their turf, it’s better to act low-key and aim for high rewards.

The teams quickly gathered, and under Li Hongfei’s guidance, arrived at the back of the Wind God Palace, in front of a towering tower occupying an entire floating platform, surrounded by countless black currents.

From a distance, it appeared to be black currents, but upon closer inspection, these were sharp, black divine winds tearing space wherever they passed. Within a kilometer around the Wind God Tower was dense with black divine winds and spatial rifts.

When everyone arrived and waited for a while, Su Yu suddenly sensed something and looked up, seeing that the Kuanxu Immortal Venerable had arrived unnoticed.

The Immortal Venerable, suspended in the air, waved a large sleeve, and the black divine wind connecting the Wind God Tower entrance was parted by an invisible force, revealing a passage. The Immortal Venerable’s resonant voice rang in everyone’s ears:

"The Wind God Tower has opened, a maximum of nine people can ascend at a time, each sect should decide the order of entry themselves."

After finishing, the Immortal Venerable turned and returned under the reed canopy, where disciples immediately stepped forward to serve tea, while elders from various sects gathered around, chatting with smiles.

As soon as the Immortal Venerable left, the leading True Disciples from each sect stepped forward, gathering with a dozen core members from their own sects to discuss in low voices. Wuji Immortal Palace’s True Disciple Xia Yi was the first to speak:

"According to the Immortal Venerable, a maximum of nine can ascend per round. We’ll have one disciple from each of the eight sects enter the tower, and for the ninth slot, as previously agreed, each sect will take turns sending one forward. What do you say?"

Taixu Profound Sect’s leading True Disciple, Ling Yu, laughed lightly:

"No problem, but there’s an outsider over there disrupting the order."

Everyone looked at Su Yu and then at the Supreme Shenzhao Sect’s leading True Disciple Qian Qingyu, indicating that, as hosts, it was their decision.

Qian Qingyu smiled and said:

"Since the Supreme Elder has already allowed it, how can we as juniors have any say? Let’s have him replace us when it’s our sect’s turn."

He looked at Li Hongfei beside him and said:
