Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 161 - 80: Setting Out, Endless Forest Sea (Part 2)

Chapter 161: Chapter 80: Setting Out, Endless Forest Sea (Part 2)

He immediately explained:

"I have joined Xuankong Mountain, and my master is Fengyunzi."

It was only then that Xiao Qingli reacted, but he remained silent for a long while before asking:

"You are skilled in swordsmanship, why not join the various sword veins?"

"I’m just skilled in swordsmanship, but I lack the purity of a true sword cultivator; my core focus is still the Qi Refining Heart Skill."

Xiao Qingli remained silent for a while again before asking:

"Anything else?"

"Came to the Endless Forest Sea for training, just stopping by to greet you, Uncle, that’s all."

"Hmm, I see."

And that was it.

Closing the communication, Su Yu grinned wryly.

A group of them waited for a while at the east gate of Chixiao City below the Chixiao Sword Vein, then a Spiritual Wing Flying Ship flew over, and five people jumped down. The person in the center came forward with a smile on his face and greeted:

"I am Cheng Younan, the Vice President of the Cyan Bamboo Association. Welcome, fellow junior brothers, to lend a hand."

Ding Lingyu stepped forward and started chatting with him.

After exchanging a few words and getting familiar, they all jumped onto the Spiritual Wing Flying Ship and flew north.

On the flying ship, Cheng Younan asked with a smile:

"May I know the esteemed names of you junior brothers? How about introducing yourselves?"

Ding Lingyu nodded with a smile:

"Ding Lingyu, under Xuanchongzi of the Tongming branch."

Cheng Younan’s eyes lit up:

"So you’re a high disciple under Master Xuanchongzi, I have long admired you!"

Su Yu followed with a fist salute:

"Su Yu, under Fengyunzi of Xuankong Mountain."

Cheng Younan paused slightly, momentarily unable to recall who this was, but it didn’t stop him from warmly greeting:

"So you’re a high disciple of Xuankong Mountain, I have long admired you!"

Then Lan Yiyi introduced herself humbly:

"Lan Yiyi, just joined, an outer disciple."

"Xu Lulu, an outer disciple."

Cheng Younan said with a smile:

"Both of you are quite talented, I’m sure it won’t be long before you shine in the outer door competition and join the inner door."

"Senior brother praises too much!"

Cheng Younan was very tactful and knew how to liven up the atmosphere; soon everyone became familiar with each other.

While chatting, Cheng Younan took the opportunity to introduce the situation between the Cyan Bamboo Association and the rival guild.

Su Yu listened for a while and roughly understood.

Simply put, it’s a resource-triggered issue.

The two guilds previously had no conflict, each occupying a piece of land to develop in the Endless Forest Sea, with no interference. But two years ago, someone discovered a secret realm at the junction of the two guilds’ territories.

This was a complete secret realm, large in area and rich in Spiritual Qi. Without mentioning the resources inside, the secret realm’s intrinsic value was enough for the two guilds to fight fiercely.

From the discovery of the secret realm until now, it’s been two years, and they have fought countless times without settling a victor. Therefore, they called friends and summoned people to help with the fight.

Before them, large-scale sword-fighting had already happened several times.

"The next sword fight is in half a month. You all can walk around the headquarters first, practice leveling, when the time comes I’ll contact you."

"No problem, we need to practice leveling as well."

Cheng Younan immediately said:

"Practicing leveling is no problem, I will share the guild map with you, you can find a suitable place to level up."

With that, Su Yu received a prompt:

"Prompt: Someone is sharing a map with you, do you accept?"

"Accept!"

The next second, the map unfolded in front of him. Previously only the areas of Chixiao Sword Peak and Cangshui were lit, while the Endless Forest Sea was completely dark. Now a large area of the Endless Forest Sea was illuminated.

The map was very detailed, with detailed introductions of nearby monsters and levels, as well as precautions, making it the most detailed map data available on the market.

Over an hour later, the flying ship arrived at a location above the Endless Forest Sea, where one could see from afar the meandering Cangshui River, resembling a snake winding through the forest sea, with a city standing at a U-bend in the river.

"Gentlemen, this is our guild headquarters."

Cheng Younan proudly introduced the city while pointing:

"Next to the headquarters is Cangshui, perfect for leveling up. Whenever you need supplies, just come to Cyan Bamboo City, as it has pretty much everything."

The flying ship slowly landed inside the city, and Cheng Younan took them to handle the paperwork and arranged a place for them to stay.

"You are free to move around now, just remember to return by the end of the month."

"Don’t worry, we won’t forget."

Cheng Younan took his leave, and the four of them let out a sigh of relief.

"How about we go shopping?"

"Let’s go!"

The group started wandering around the city.

After completing their tour, what impressed Su Yu the most was how new everything was.

The size of the city was not much different from the Thousand Feather Association, but it was obviously newly constructed and lacked some depth.

However, it’s normal; the Thousand Feather Association has been established for over a hundred years, whereas the creator of Cyan Bamboo Association is still alive, only having about forty or fifty years of history. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

After wandering from the east end to the west end of the city, Lan Yiyi suggested:

"Let’s leave the rest for next time. We should report to Demon Suppression City first."

"Alright, let’s go."

The group launched their flying ship and flew towards the north.

North of Cyan Bamboo City, about more than fifty thousand kilometers away, there is a demon country called the Demon Ape Demon Country.

As the name suggests, the ruler is a Heaven-Reaching Demon Ape, over level 270, with a legendary template.

The demon country spans hundreds of thousands of kilometers, has three sovereigns, and thirteen demon leaders, each commanding a million demon soldiers. All thirteen grand commanders are major demons over level 200.

The demon country is expanding outward, with generals driving a constant stream of spirits that form small-scale beast tides, rushing in all directions every day.

To block its southward expansion, seven Demon Suppression Cities have been built south of the demon country as a defensive line, specifically to curb the expansion of the Demon Ape Demon Country.

The Sword Vein issues missions, recruiting sect disciples to serve here year-round.

The rewards are extremely generous, with a daily gold coin.

The Dragon Scale Flying Ship traveled at incredible speed and reached the edge of the Demon Ape Demon Country after ten hours. From afar, they could see gigantic peaks standing in the endless wilderness jungle, with demonic energy pillars piercing the sky.

That giant peak is the territory of one of the thirteen demon leaders, guarded by major demons and a million demon soldiers.

And over a thousand kilometers away from the demon fort, deep in the wilderness jungle, there are three mountains arranged in a character formation.

In the canyons between the mountains, several hundred meters high passes are built, with defensive restrictions and a dense array of Fire God Crossbow Towers. Thunderfire Towers stand tall on the mountains.

Outside the Demon Suppression Fortress built in the mountains is a blank space, where vast areas of the wilderness jungle have been blasted into fragments by divine thunder and various magic. Su Yu looked up and saw a continuous stream of spirits surging from the jungle ahead.

Wolves, rats, bears, tigers, scorpions, pythons, toads, centipedes, and others were forming a mixed army.

In the sky, a large number of fierce birds were like dark clouds, overwhelming and diving towards Demon Suppression City.

"Clang!"

The dull sound of a bell rang, activating the great formation covering the entire city, with a light curtain rising to envelop the entire city, including the three mountain peaks.

The Thunderfire Towers lit up one by one, shadows ascended into the sky, and various flying swords and magical treasures were summoned, ready for battle.

"We arrived just in time for a demon attack!"

"Let’s go, into the city first."

The flying ship quickly descended, joining other players outside and entering the great formation.

The formation had not been fully activated yet, allowing entry, but once the demon tide attacked and the formation’s killer restrictions took effect, no one would be able to enter.

"Notification: You’ve received the Four Spirits Guardian Aura boost: Qi and Blood +1000, Mana +1000, Qi and Blood Regen +10, Mana Regen +10, Attack Power +10%, Five Elements Dao Spell Power +10%."

"Look, what is that?"

Countless people looked up and saw the sky ablaze as a canopy of fire clouds ascended, transforming into a thousand-mile fire cloud. Fire clouds swirled, and massive fireballs, each over a hundred meters in diameter, shot out like meteors crashing towards Demon Suppression City.

"Clang!"

The ringing bell resounded again, the formation’s restrictions suddenly brightened, dense runes lit up, and sword lights from within the city shot up into the sky, turning into thousand-meter-long blades that sliced the fireballs in half within an instant.

There was no deafening explosion, only the disruption of the fireballs and the infinite flowing flames falling.

Then, the vast elemental energy converged into a thousand-acre giant hand that swept across, gathering the falling flames into its palm, where they disappeared.

"Screech!"

A piercing screech echoed from the sky, where the infinite blaze boiled and the world brightened, flames surging like waves. A gigantic flaming bird could be vaguely seen, continuously flapping its wings.

Despite not seeing its true form, the sheer momentum indicated this was undoubtedly a super fierce bird, most likely one of the demon leaders’ grand commanders.

Fortunately, this super fierce bird refrained from showing itself, merely supervising from the rear and urging a continuous stream of spirits and demon armies to attack Demon Suppression City.

"Take action!"

Su Yu and his companions unleashed their flying swords or magical treasures, launching an assault against the beast tide flooding towards the city.
