Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 119 - 57: Sea-Suppressing Pearl Transforms, Internal Grotto Heaven (2)
Just a kilometer away from the town, a sudden explosion was heard from afar, followed by a beam of light that pierced through the river straight into the sky, reaching tens of thousands of miles high. An indescribable terrifying pressure erupted like a tidal wave, sweeping across the small town in an instant like a flash of lightning.
As Su Yu was swept by the flash, he paused and became unable to move. His gaze happened to fall upon the nearby small town, now appearing like a paused game screen, where no one could move.
"Such a quick response."
Seconds later, a booming voice echoed in everyone’s ears:
"Celestial Cangtian has lost a valuable treasure. No one is allowed to leave. Those who have left the city must return immediately to cooperate with the inspection."
Then Su Yu found that he was able to move.
But he didn’t continue leaving; trying to leave now would certainly draw attention. He could only turn back towards the riverside town he had just left.
The town’s guild was already gathering, presumably having received a task from Celestial Cangtian to cooperate. As soon as he re-entered the town, he heard someone shouting:
"Celestial Cangtian offers a reward: Anyone who finds the lost treasure can become a direct disciple of the Celestial and receive either a Tier Nine Flying Sword or a Magical Treasure. Anyone who reports clues that help find the treasure will be rewarded with a choice of a Tier Seven Flying Sword, a Magical Treasure, or a Refined Level Qi Refining Heart Skill."
"Oh!"
The town immediately buzzed with excitement, with everyone discussing fervently, their eyes shining.
Su Yu remained calm, noticing that no one paid attention to him.
"How do I get away from here next?"
Celestial Cangtian making such a fuss, surely he wouldn’t rely on others to find it. He would certainly search personally, and Su Yu couldn’t guarantee he could evade the personal search of an Earth Immortal-level big shot.
After agonizingly pondering for a while, meticulously weighing several escape methods, a sudden bright idea flashed:
"Got it."
"But there’s no need to rush yet."
He first entered the city and found an inn in the town to rent an upper room.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Su Yu focused his mind, and his consciousness fell into his sea of knowledge. The Sea-Suppressing Pearl hung like a sun in the sky of his sea of knowledge, radiating a bright blue light, with wisps of soft luminous flame attached to it, emitting a gentle and cool aura.
As his consciousness concentrated on the Sea-Suppressing Pearl, his eyes brightened, immediately sensing something unusual.
He unexpectedly saw a Grotto Heaven space inside the Sea-Suppressing Pearl, with a blue glowing ball suspended inside, constantly emitting luminous flames.
Through the luminous flames, the Innate Divine Maiden could be seen suspended inside the glowing ball, with the luminous flames spilling out from her body.
The flames spread toward all directions, and the edges of the space melted like they were continuously expanding, now about two kilometers wide.
In this expanding space with a diameter of two kilometers, it was filled with crystal-clear water, rich spiritual qi mixed with the luminous flames emitted from her body, forming vortices that seemed to be nurturing something within.
"So this is how to hide."
It was actually directly opening up a space inside the Sea-Suppressing Pearl.
As his consciousness returned, his gaze settled on the Sea-Suppressing Pearl, and its properties also changed accordingly.
Sea-Suppressing Pearl (Unknown Divine Artifact): Currently sealed, relic of the Dragon Palace, can control boundless water energy, parting of waters, sea suppression.
Attribute: Water-based Dao Technique power +100%, water-based Dao Technique consumption -50%, water-based Dao Technique damage reduction 50%.
Attribute: Water’s Great Way, the Sea-Suppressing Pearl can control limitless water energy, divide water, suppress the sea, create vortices, tsunamis.
Attribute: Sea Suppressing Realm, an innate spirit opens a realm, can accommodate all beings, realm size: diameter 2120 meters, spiritual qi concentration tier five, growing.
Attribute: Sea Suppressing Realm Master, the realm master can freely control the time flow speed within the realm up to ten times, and the realm master receives feedback from the realm’s origin, acquiring 20 spiritual power experience points per second, operable on/off.
Equipment Requirement: Already acknowledged owner.
Note: The Sea Suppressing Pearl’s origin is changing your essence.
Su Yu opened the panel to take a look, noticing his innate root bone had increased by 9 points, now totaling 29. He estimated that in about a week, around 10 months, the last point would be added, reaching 30 points and stepping onto the edge of being a genius.
That can wait; the important thing is the current change in the Sea-Suppressing Pearl.
The first two attributes haven’t changed; this is not an unsealing, just the fusion of an innate water spirit within the Sea-Suppressing Pearl to create a realm.
Or in another sense, there was once a realm within the Sea-Suppressing Pearl, but it was sealed and couldn’t be accessed until the fusion of an innate water spirit opened it ahead of time, without actually unsealing the Sea-Suppressing Pearl itself.
The two new properties are the realm and the realm master’s rights.
The realm is currently a circular space with a diameter of 2120 meters, and it continues to expand as the innate water spirit explores further.
He doesn’t know how much more it can expand; it depends on when the innate water spirit stops.
The spiritual qi concentration within the realm is tier five, this...
Let’s put it this way, Qi Refining tier one, Dao Foundation Loose Immortal tier two, Golden Core Earth Immortal tier three, Primordial Spirit Celestial Immortal tier four.
He can’t be sure how strong it is, having neither seen nor heard of it, but it’s understood to be very strong.
The realm master’s rights encompass everything, allowing complete control of the realm’s interior, including adjusting the time flow speed, up to ten times the natural speed.
This realm master authority is above the innate water spirit, as it belongs to the Sea-Suppressing Pearl itself, which Su Yu is the owner of, while the innate water spirit is just a tenant, at most just doing some renovations.
It is noteworthy that after entering the Sea-Suppressing Pearl to acquire the innate water origin, the innate water spirit has begun to perfect itself and will soon fully form.
When that happens, there will be no various restrictions, and her power will increase rapidly.
Receiving feedback from the realm’s origin, as long as the Sea-Suppressing Pearl is present, Su Yu can receive spiritual power emerging from it, gaining 20 points of spiritual power experience per second.
A second gives 20 points, a minute gives 1200, an hour gives 72000 points in combat experience, and 24 hours a day gives a total of 1.728 million combat experience points.
This spiritual power feedback will increase as the realm expands—the larger the realm, the more feedback.
This means he can gain a significant amount of practice points stably every day, even without doing anything.
After understanding the changes in the Sea-Suppressing Pearl, Su Yu temporarily turned off the spiritual power feedback to avoid being detected.
Ordinary cultivators wouldn’t notice, but a powerful Earth Immortal could certainly see the abundance of spiritual power appearing out of nowhere on him.
After understanding the changes in the Sea-Suppressing Pearl, Su Yu was in a great mood.
Not only did he acquire an innate water spirit, but also a personal grotto heaven rich in spiritual power. At this moment, Su Yu already had ideas on how to utilize this grotto heaven.
"I’ll try it out when I return."
Getting up from the bed, Su Yu took off all the flying swords and magical treasures, including the Spirit Cage Belt holding Ao Run, and stored them in the Sea-Suppressing Pearl.
Then he looked towards the direction of the Yuanjiang River and smiled slightly:
"Farewell, Celestial Cangtian!"
He gathered mana in his hand and struck his chest firmly, breaking his heart meridian and losing consciousness in an instant.
Yes, his method of escaping was suicide.
It’s well known that in the land of explorers, players can set their respawn point; they generally respawn at this preset point by default.
If there is no preset respawn point, they respawn at the nearest town, or a nearby sect, or Mountain and River God Temple. If all absent, they randomly respawn at a nearby safe place.
Su Yu had a preset respawn point, exactly at the guild in Thousand Feather City.
When he opened his eyes again, he was back at his residence in Thousand Feather City.
He touched his chest, his memories still at the moment he hit his heart meridian, devoid of recollection after death, reconstructing his body.
He looked at the property panel’s prompt section, seeing a line of reminder:
"Reminder: You committed suicide, losing 5 years of longevity to reconstruct your body."
Looking back at the property panel, his lifespan decreased from 111 years to 106 years.
"Not bad."
Suicide only lost 5 years of life, compared to the outcome of being caught by an Earth Immortal-level big shot, it was trivial.
Thousand Feather City is probably hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from there; Celestial Cangtian couldn’t possibly think of here.
As long as they hadn’t met in person, there was no fear of being tracked down.
"Hehe!"
Su Yu conjured his thoughts, opened the Sea-Suppressing Pearl, and retrieved the previously stored magical treasures and equipment.
