Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 166 - 83: Cave of Ten Thousand Demons, Conflict (Part 2)

Chapter 166: Chapter 83: Cave of Ten Thousand Demons, Conflict (Part 2)

"Level up again!"

Another 28,110,000 kill experience and 300 Dao points were invested to upgrade the Red Copper North Pole Immortal Thunder to level 30.

Thirty levels of Red Copper North Pole Immortal Thunder, power +16000, casting range 16,000 meters, damage area 400 meters, Mana consumption 1400 points.

"At this level, it’s enough to farm small monsters."

Nodding to himself, Su Yu closed the panel, maneuvered the Flying Ship to hover over 500 meters above the ground, extending his hand as a white thunderbolt quickly condensed into a cluster of Immortal Thunder that he hurled down.

The Immortal Thunder plummeted to the ground, without an earth-shattering explosion, but the world suddenly brightened, the dazzling thunderbolt shot up into the sky, flooding a small section of the canyon with blinding light.

A moment later, the light faded, and everything within a 400-meter diameter in the canyon was annihilated, except for a few higher-level monsters that withstood it.

Su Yu pointed a finger, and Thunderbolt transformed into two streaks of electricity that darted back and forth, eliminating the few remaining weakened monsters with a sweep.

But before they could finish, a constant stream of monsters surged from the depths of the canyon, quickly filling the just-cleared ground again.

"Your turn."

Ding Lingyu immediately conjured a Taiyi Divine Thunder and hurled it down, while Xu Lulu and Lan Yiyi summoned Gui Water Divine Thunder and magical treasures for a round of bombardment.

Shortly after, Su Yu again gathered Immortal Thunder and tossed it down, clearing another large area.

He and Ding Lingyu led the attack, the two flying swords darting like lightning among the monster horde, while Ding Lingyu’s divine avatar repeatedly cast chains of lightning, efficiently clearing monsters.

Yet no matter how high their efficiency, it couldn’t match the refresh rate of the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons. More and more monsters surged from the cave, soon blocking the canyon.

Whenever this happened, Ding Lingyu would unleash a powerful move, using a Qianqing Shangyuan Taiyi Divine Thunder Net to clear the field in one go.

However, even with powerful moves to clear the field, they couldn’t keep up with the refresh rate.

At this point, they had to retreat, maneuvering the Flying Ship up high, waiting for the gathered monsters to disperse, and Mana to recover before descending again.

Most of these monsters couldn’t fly, so they couldn’t do anything to them.

Repeating this several times, they effortlessly farmed millions of kill experience.

"This is truly a leveling paradise!"

As they were leveling up, more and more players gathered in the air on the other side of the canyon. In just over ten minutes, twelve large and small Flying Ships had gathered, with nearly two hundred players.

After about half an hour, with nearly thirty Flying Ships gathered in the air and five to six hundred players assembled, Xi Muchuan came again. At this time, his voice boomed loudly as he said:

"We have now gathered over six hundred people. I see that several of you are quite strong. Would you like to join our temporary team to cooperate in destroying this Cave of Ten Thousand Demons?"

Ding Lingyu looked toward Su Yu and asked:

"Should we join?"

Su Yu didn’t have a good impression of Xi Muchuan and didn’t want to assist him, directly shaking his head:

"We’re gaining two to three million every ten minutes here. By the end of the day, we can accumulate tens of millions without taking needless risks."

"Besides, have you ever seen any Water Eyes or demon caves destroyed since we humans arrived across the other shore?"

This last sentence wasn’t spoken aloud but transmitted to Ding Lingyu:

"As far as I know, these Water Eyes or demon caves are condensed by the Heavenly Dao Laws. If they face the threat of destruction, they will actively spawn a BOSS protector. If it’s a BOSS over level 200, wouldn’t that spell disaster?"

Ding Lingyu was persuaded, turned around, and declined:

"We’re not bold enough to get involved. You all can handle it yourselves."

Xi Muchuan’s brows furrowed, his previously feigned smile instantly vanished as he coldly stated:

"If you’re not coming, then fine, but since we’re about to take action, to eliminate unforeseen factors, we ask you to leave."

Ding Lingyu raised an eyebrow, annoyed:

"This place isn’t yours. Don’t be so domineering."

Xi Muchuan, accustomed to being domineering, replied in an extremely firm tone:

"Join the team or leave. You have no other choice."

Su Yu’s expression instantly darkened, speaking coldly:

"If it were other demon villages, by the rules, whoever finds it first indeed owns it, but this is the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons, a public monster farming spot. It doesn’t follow those rules. If you want us to leave, you’ll have to rely on your skills."

"Not leaving, huh? Just wait."

Xi Muchuan’s eyes flickered with ferocity as he coldly glared at them before walking away.

Watching him return to his team, talking to several apparent leaders, and occasionally pointing over, a part of the temporary team flew towards them.

Lan Yiyi quietly remarked:

"There are too many of them. Should we take a step back?"

Ding Lingyu chuckled lightly:

"Rabble isn’t scary."

Su Yu patted the ship’s railing and said:

"Relax, my Flying Ship’s defense power is up to a million. They can’t do anything to me."

Dozens of Flying Ships flew over, and hundreds of people all seemed surprised that they hadn’t fled. From one of the ships, someone asked:

"Where are you from?"

The leader of another Spiritual Wing Flying Ship scrutinized the Golden Scale Flying Ship, a hint of seriousness on his face, clasped hands in greeting, and asked: 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Are you fellows disciples of the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect?"

Ding Lingyu replied in an even tone:

"What if we are? What if we’re not?"

Xi Muchuan, seeing his calm demeanor, flared up with anger, shouted loudly:

"Why bother wasting words with him? Just drive him away."

Su Yu didn’t spare him a glance, calmly said:

"If it were other demon villages or resource points, by the rules you indeed have priority since you arrived first, but the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons and Water Eyes are public monster farming spots, not subject to the first-come, first-served rule. We can let it go or not, similarly, regardless of what you want to do, we won’t stop you."

"We’re just here to level up and won’t affect you, but that one over there is way too domineering. Earlier, we found a demon town they tried to snatch away, we didn’t say anything. Now, just because we don’t want to join your team, we’re forced to leave. Do you think we’re easy to bully?"

He cast a cold glance at Xi Muchuan, expressionless, and said:

"If you want to drive us away, do it by your skills. I just fear you don’t have the capability."

His dismissal made Xi Muchuan seethe with anger, and he spoke in the team channel:

"You saw how arrogant they are. Do you really believe they’re just here to level up? What if they swoop in to profit once we’re close to success?"

"Power of Heavenly Dao Magic—ask yourselves, who wouldn’t be tempted by such a treasure? Can you resist?"

There was a brief silence in the channel before someone spoke:

"Mr. Xi makes a good point. What we’re doing is very risky. With the sheer refresh rate of ten thousand monsters per second, it’s challenging on its own. Any interference from external factors could easily lead to collapse, so we must remove unstable elements."

Someone else agreed:

"I think Mr. Zhang’s right, being cautious is better."

With a few people leading, team leaders gradually expressed agreement.

Out of thirty-odd teams, the majority quickly agreed, with only a handful opting for neutrality, preferring not to complicate matters.

Seeing this, Xi Muchuan further stated:

"Mr. Li, I know neither of you wants complications, but human nature is unpredictable. We cannot trust our safety to others. For everyone’s safety, we must clear the field before proceeding."

Seeing this, the two team leaders had nothing more to say and responded in the team channel:

"If that’s the case, then let’s proceed."

Xi Muchuan raised his head, eyes filled with murderous intent as he looked towards Su Yu and Ding Lingyu, directly deploying a mirror that turned, casting a white light on Su Yu.

Su Yu, who had been watching them closely, immediately deployed the Cyan Cloud Cover as soon as Xi Muchuan moved. The white light passed through the Flying Ship Shield, hitting the Cyan Cloud Cover, and was blocked. With a virtual grasp, he sent Thunderbolt piercing through the air, instantly arriving at Xi Muchuan’s chest.

Xi Muchuan was clearly caught off guard, but among so many people, there were still experts. A leader extended a finger, and a pair of blue and red flying swords shot through the air, intercepting in front of Xi Muchuan.

"Ding ding clang clang!"

A series of rapid, crisp sounds followed, as the four flying swords tangled in a spark-spraying collision.

But the blue and red swords only held for a second before getting suppressed, the four swords clashing over twenty times in an instant, their immense power forcing them down.

"A master!"

He decisively shouted in the channel:

"This guy’s a master. I can’t hold him off. Don’t just watch, focus fire and take them out."
