Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 717 - 378: The 5th Star

The three of them arrived in front of the ancient Su family mansion.

The mansion's main gate was tightly shut, with a plaque hanging above it, corroded by time, bearing the faded characters "Su Mansion".

However, those characters were not in a script familiar to Lu Yu, so he couldn't understand them, he could only guess.

Having withstood the erosion of thousands and thousands of years, for the mansion to be preserved intact was already quite incredible, and the plaque could no longer retain its former majesty.

Lu Yu and Jing Yang stopped in their tracks, while Su Peng headed straight to the main gate, retrieving an ancient, plain, cyan token from his backpack.

The token appeared somewhat illusory, as if it were merely a projection.

Seeing the appearance of the token, Lu Yu's expression shifted, and he spoke somewhat uncertainly, "Did you bring this from Earth?"

The survivors of this world fled to Earth, which made up the few hidden families on Earth, leading Lu Yu to deduce that items related to this world must have been brought to Earth by those families.

The token's illusory appearance made it hard for Lu Yu not to speculate that they had the ability to bring things from Earth into the Shenwu world.

Further imagining, if they had the capability to bring things into the Shenwu world, did that mean they also had the ability to take things from the Shenwu world out?

Lu Yu's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm, which meant he might have a chance to return to Earth!

Jing Yang glanced at Lu Yu, a bit surprised, not expecting him to guess it so quickly. He nodded and said, "Yes, but that's not a physical entity."

"The Su family and Zhang family have mastered the technology to bring things into the Shenwu world, but it cannot fully bring items into Shenwu world, only the 'attributes' of items can be brought in, created as illusions by Spiritual Power."

"In human terms, it's like sending a soul from Earth to Shenwu world without the body, equating to the 'soul' of the item, which requires special techniques to project."

Jing Yang explained to Lu Yu the principle behind bringing items into the Shenwu world, of which Lu Yu had a limited understanding.

"The soul of an item? What's that?" Lu Yu questioned inwardly, not quite grasping the concept.

He shook his head, thinking: there's no need to understand the principle, as long as it can be used.

Lu Yu looked at Jing Yang and asked, "Can you bring things from the Shenwu world back to Earth?"

Hearing this, Jing Yang considered briefly and said, "Yes, but the items brought back are incomplete."

After hearing his words, Lu Yu fell silent.

After a period of silence, Jing Yang asked first, "Do you want to return to Earth?"

Lu Yu nodded, feeling there was no need to hide this from Jing Yang and Su Peng, as he would need their support if he intended to go back.

Jing Yang thought for a while and then spoke, "It's not entirely impossible."

"In fact, this technology is based on research using a Space Attribute Divine Soldier, utilizing the world tunnels opened by the Demon Cavern, to construct a safe tunnel with space forces."

"So far, we can only teleport non-physical items. If you had cultivation at the Distraction stage, you could send a part of your spirit back to Earth."

"Currently, I don't recommend you try it, it's too dangerous."

Lu Yu said nothing, pondering over Jing Yang's words.

Click~ The main gate of the Su family mansion opened, and Su Peng called back to them, "Come in quickly."

Lu Yu raised his head, his thoughts more or less cleared.

The three of them entered the Su family mansion, and Su Peng closed the door. He did not wish for others to discover their presence.

Though the defense array and prohibitions within Celestial City were immensely strong and hard to break, it would still be troublesome if seen by others.

After all, they wouldn't stay here forever and might venture out occasionally.

Though it was the ancient mansion of Su Peng's ancestors, he was unfamiliar with it. The three of them first explored the rooms to see if they could find anything valuable.

Upon entering the courtyard, there weren't many defense arrays inside.

Some houses had independent arrays, but they were simple arrays preventing sensory penetration, with not much defensive power.

A slight force could open the doors, not needing the token Su Peng had.

There were some special places requiring the token to enter, such as the Patriarch's study, treasury, alchemy room...

Those places were for Su Peng to explore, while Lu Yu and Jing Yang explored the side rooms.

Click~ The lock was easily crushed by Lu Yu. These locks had decayed over time, and most rooms were unlocked, possibly due to fleeing in haste.

Snap~ Lu Yu entered the room, and with a casual wave, a gust of wind swept all the dust out of the room.

The wind emanating from his palm, upon contact with most objects in the room, turned them into a pile of yellow dust, disappearing with the wind.

What remained were treasures that had survived thousands and thousands of years, retaining a certain power.

This method of exploration was rather crude and straightforward, allowing one to see the valuable objects at a glance.

After the wind blew out of the room, the interior became spacious, leaving just a few intact items: a painting hanging on the wall, a jade bottle on the table, and a jade pillow on the bed.

The surface of the painting still emanated a faint Spiritual Glow, but compared to normal Spiritual Objects, the glow had dimmed considerably.

When complete, this painting was certainly not ordinary, but now it held no value, as the remaining Spiritual Qi was less than that of a sixth-grade Spiritual Treasure.
