Cultivation: But Not a Game
Chapter 423 - 308: Earth-Shattering Secrets, Celestial Destiny (6K)
"That’s freaking exaggerated."
Su Yu recalled the scene where the gold-winged divine bird wielded the Law of Wind, its wings flapping to send countless kilometers of black wind blades slashing into the sea, forcefully carving out kilometers-deep trenches in the ocean. The sea snake and the countless demon soldiers it led were utterly powerless against the divine wind, their bodies cleaved into two upon contact.
This reminded Su Yu of the time he first entered the East Sea from Blue Mountain, witnessing the nameless divine bird battling sea snakes.
This gold-winged divine bird was far stronger than that nameless divine bird.
A month later, Su Yu saw from afar a storm that stretched endlessly, covering the sky. Without much thought, he activated the Celestial Escape Shuttle and plunged into the storm, intending to pass through it.
"Oh, crap!"
He had barely entered for ten seconds when the Celestial Escape Shuttle darted out with a ’whoosh’, rapidly climbing as if its tail was on fire.
"A human?"
"Prepare to die!"
The next second, the storm exploded. A massive hand, covered in dense cyan scales and wrapped with wind and thunder, emerged from the storm, reaching for the Celestial Escape Shuttle.
"Time Freeze!"
Without hesitation, Su Yu swung a sword, unleashing the Power of Time. The giant hand paused momentarily, before crushing through the temporal force towards him.
Though this strike interrupted the continuity of the giant hand, allowing the celestial-sized demon hand to miss with its swipe, the terrifying force compressed space, causing a whirlwind to surge.
"Hmm?"
A muffled sound came from within the storm, and the demon hand turned upwards to grasp.
At this moment, Qingchan decisively unleashed two Tier Ten flying swords: the Tier Ten Extinction Divine Sword and the newly ascended Tier Ten Thunder Marsh Divine Sword, integrating them so they vanished without a trace. Instantly, a blood mark appeared on the palm of the celestial demon hand, dozens of lines erupted before it could react, and the hand clenched.
"Boom!"
The terrifying force caused a spatial shockwave, quickly jolting the integrated dual swords out of their Radiant state.
"Sword Light Division!"
In an instant, hundreds of sword qi divided and slashed down.
The demon hand moved not at all, simply clenched into a fist, unleashing a violent air blast that shattered the hundreds of sword qi into dust and forced the dual swords apart, revealing two flying swords being thrust out.
"Damn, so this is the power of a Celestial Immortal-level super boss!"
Su Yu let out a small breath, extending his hand to press down:
"Time Domain!"
The invisible Power of Time blossomed; the approaching demon hand encountered the time domain and did not immediately freeze. Instead, it gradually slowed, finally stalling in mid-air after three seconds.
"Law of Time?"
The storm rippled subtly and parted slightly, revealing a massive demon face gazing at the rapidly retreating Primordial Magnet Radiant Escape in the sky.
The face hesitated for a moment and ultimately did not pursue.
The radiant light flashed, traversing a thousand miles instantly.
Only after escaping over hundreds of thousands of kilometers and confirming that the super boss hadn’t followed did Su Yu exhale deeply, feeling somewhat fearful as he said:
"This Cyan Immortal Domain is too dangerous, super bosses over level three hundred are everywhere."
Sea Snake Demon Immortal Youyuan, Gold-winged Divine Bird, yet another nameless Sea Snake Man, nameless Demon Immortal—In terms of Immortals, Su Yu had encountered more in these past few months than all those he had seen during his time cultivating near Blue Mountain.
Qingchan also patted her elevated chest, speaking with some fear:
"We should probably find a larger Immortal City and use a teleportation array to head to various sects?"
Su Yu nodded:
"Alright, it’s indeed too dangerous outside."
With a thought, he opened his map to confirm their location. He and Qingchan activated the Primordial Magnet Radiant Escape and transformed into a streak of light vanishing into the sky.
In the escape light state, their speed was extraordinarily fast, so much so that even a Celestial Immortal would pause with surprise before they had already fled far, typically unwilling to give chase.
Racing wildly, Su Yu and Luo Qingchan’s hearts constantly thumped.
On the return journey from the deep sea, they occasionally sensed the undisguised terrifying presences in the ocean, the number of super bosses comparable to Celestial Immortals far exceeding his expectations.
"Isn’t the super boss density way too high here?"
The escape light continued its relentless dash for four days and nights, finally arriving at East Sea’s Emerald Wave Island after crossing more than a billion kilometers.
Emerald Wave Island is a famous large island in the East Sea, among the few large islands primarily inhabited by humans. The island hosts a super long-distance teleportation array directly to the Cyan Immortal Domain continent, along with a branch of the Divine Land Commerce Association.
Upon reaching the city, Su Yu and Qingchan immediately headed to the Divine Land Commerce Association for assistance, purchasing teleportation tickets to the mainland in the association’s name.
Afterward, Qingchan was contained within the Sea Suppressing Realm, while Su Yu queued with the ticket. Two days later, they traveled through the teleportation array, crossing over a billion kilometers to arrive at Cyan Immortal Domain’s East Sea Dragon Ao Immortal City.
"Finally arrived at Cyan Immortal Domain."
Su Yu exhaled lightly and opened the regional channel, seeing countless messages flashing.
Compared to Canglan City, where there might be days without conversation, the regional channel of Dragon Ao Immortal City was extremely active, almost rivaling the channels in sparsely populated areas near Blue Mountain.
Su Yu remembered that Junior General Han Zhuofei’s information indicated Dragon Ao Immortal City was located southeast of Cyan Immortal Domain’s main continent, and one of the Immortal Cities with the highest concentration of human players.
Human civilization in Cyan Immortal Domain totaled about fifteen thousand people accumulated over the years, with two True Immortals, over twenty Celestial Immortals, the rest being ninety percent Golden Core Earth Immortals, and ten percent Foundation Establishment cultivators like Su Yu, excluding Qi Cultivation cultivators.
About twenty percent of these players were active in Dragon Ao Immortal City, totaling around thirty hundred, including four Celestial Immortals residing there.
After observing the regional channel for a while, Su Yu suddenly interjected:
"I’m Su Yu. I just arrived from the human headquarters, and I hope everyone will take care of me."
The message was quickly buried under subsequent information, but after four or five seconds, someone responded, welcoming him in the channel, followed by private messages to him:
