Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 103 Nameless Sword Dao at Max Level, Sword Light Splits

After taking stock of her spoils, Su Yu hesitated for a moment before returning to the Giant Wooden Ship.

However, they did not sell all the spoils to the Canghai Society, only a small portion, mainly because it was difficult to explain where so many spoils came from, especially those large skeletons that were over 500 meters long.

Su Yu strolled on the deck, occasionally overhearing people talking about the battle they had just witnessed, especially the mythical template dragon.

It's no wonder they were shocked; the mythological template is just too rare.

In the other shore, legendary templates are already extremely rare. The Xuanzhen Immortal Sect has six main branches and more than twenty branches, and there are probably dozens of Earth Immortal masters, but there are less than ten legendary templates. He has never even seen a mythological template.

Even the most skilled immortal sects had never seen a mythical template, let alone outside players, who would surely be astonished.

Su Yu walked by and overheard their various speculations, feeling secretly pleased.

For the next few days, the Poison Dragon ship remained anchored in this area. Su Yu would dive into the water every day to level up and kill sea serpents. With no one watching, he had a great time grinding.

Then, he sold some every day, gradually selling off the miscellaneous items from the many spoils he had collected, including those large skeletons that were over 500 meters long.

A skeleton longer than 500 meters costs 200 gold, and three skeletons cost 600 gold.

价于100米以上500米以下的龙骨有三十多条，价格由10金至80金不等，全加起来也有860金。

All the other miscellaneous fish bones, scales, inner cores, flying swords and magic weapons below the fifth rank, etc., were sold for a total of 726 gold.

The total income is 2186 gold.

In addition, there are remaining divine bird demon cores, divine bird demon souls, several thousand ordinary golden feathers, and one hundred and twenty true feathers, with a total estimated value of over five thousand gold.

Time passed, and seven days later, the Canghai Gang had collected enough skeletons and announced their return journey.

Su Yu and Sun Feng became friends and agreed to play together when they returned to Flying Star Island. After saying goodbye, they continued flying eastward.

Drifting alone in the sea, fighting monsters while enjoying the vast ocean scenery.

Half a month later, Su Yu finally accumulated enough cultivation and opened the panel immediately.

It's worth mentioning that when I transformed into a dragon, I instantly killed the overseas divine bird and wiped out so many sea snakes with one powerful move. I should have gained a huge amount of cultivation points and Taoist cultivation, and I did indeed gain a huge amount of cultivation points and Taoist cultivation, but they were all automatically used to upgrade my True Dragon Incarnation level. My True Dragon Incarnation level is now 202.

"The Nameless Sword Way!"

Su Yu glanced at the more than one billion cultivation points and 1135 points of Dao cultivation that had accumulated in the experience pool, and without hesitation, consumed 97000 million cultivation points and 1000 points of Dao cultivation to raise the Nameless Sword Dao to the maximum level of 100.

The moment the Nameless Sword Dao was maxed out, a flash of inspiration struck Su Yu, and he suddenly had an epiphany.

"Notification: You have raised the Nameless Sword Path to the hundredth level, breaking through the peak of this sword path, and reverting to your original form—Gengjin Sword Fiend!"

"One Hundred Layers of Gengjin Sword Aura: Increases sword energy damage by 2000 points, sword energy sharpness by 2000, and has a certain chance to cut through flying swords below the sixth rank or cause some damage to magic weapons below the sixth rank. Attached skill: Thousand Layers of Sword Net."

"Thousandfold Sword Net: Consumes a huge amount of mana to condense up to a thousand sword energies into a net, with each sword energy consuming 20 mana points."

In addition, the moment the Nameless Sword Dao reached perfection and returned to its original form, a flash of inspiration struck Su Yu. The third realm of sword Dao, [Sword Light Differentiation], which had been elusive and unattainable for him, vanished like mist and was instantly imprinted in his mind.

Swordsmanship Realm - Sword Light Differentiation: Can differentiate sword energy to injure the enemy.

Beginner's Guide: 5 sword energies, sword energy power +10%.

Su Yu closed the panel, pointed a finger and unleashed a thunderous attack that pierced the air and plunged into the sea. With a thought, his two swords flashed, each unleashing five Taibai sword energies that slashed down.

Sword skill level bonus: the power of each sword aura is 50% of the maximum attack.

The sword energy that splits out from the key sword light is not a skill; it can be continuously split as long as there is enough mana.

A normal swordsman can only unleash one sword aura at a time, but he can unleash five sword auras with one sword and ten with two swords.

As one's swordsmanship improves, the number of sword energies that can be unleashed each time will increase dramatically—ten, fifty, one hundred. If one can reach the level of transcendence, unleashing ten thousand sword energies with a single strike is not a dream.

"Not bad!"

Su Yu sheathed his sword with great satisfaction, his strength having increased even further.

In the days that followed, he continued to fight monsters and level up, then practiced swordsmanship, integrating the ability to split sword light into the existing combat system.

"call out!"

He aimed his twin swords at a giant deep-sea fish and slashed down, consuming two hundred extra mana to unleash ten sword energies that followed, instantly increasing the damage many times over.

He wielded his swords back and forth, the two swords circling and clashing against the deep-sea giant fish, with sword energy occasionally bursting out and piercing into the fish's body, causing even greater damage.

As his swordsmanship became more proficient, he could execute ten sword energies with each attack. Although the mana consumption increased several times, the killing efficiency did increase several times.

This might consume a lot of mana for other ordinary sword cultivators, but for Su Yu, who has more than 70,000 mana, it's not a problem at all.

Increased damage output leads to increased monster-killing efficiency and a faster rate of experience accumulation.

Seeing the massive amount of experience accumulated every day is incredibly motivating.

Two more months passed in the blink of an eye, and Su Yu finally crossed hundreds of thousands of kilometers of sea and arrived near Jinjiao Island as shown on the map.

Emerging from the sea, he gazed at the island in the vast ocean, remaining silent for a long time.

After more than a decade, he was finally going to see his second brother, and he was a little nervous.

Golden Dragon Island is a large island spanning tens of thousands of kilometers, dotted with mountains. Mingsu Palace stands atop a large spiritual vein in the center of the island. Master Mingsu established a separate residence here, granting him the right to accept disciples, which attracted a large number of players to gather here.

The number of people is far less than that of Flying Star Island, but much more than that of Thousand Feather Society.

Su Yu first went to Jinjiao City, which is located on the west side of Jinjiao Island. This city is extremely large and is divided into two parts. One part is a commercial area where ordinary players are active, and the other part is isolated by city walls and seems to belong to some guild.

After entering the city, Su Yu first sold off all the miscellaneous items she had collected while leveling up over the past two months, and then headed to Mingsu Palace in the center of the island.

Mingsu Palace is located in the center of the island, where spiritual energy gathers. From afar, one can see the giant peak standing in the center of the island, surrounded by spiritual mist. The pavilions and terraces appear and disappear like a fairyland. Mingsu Peak is surrounded by two rings of mountains, and a large array covers the entire Mingsu Palace.

Su Yu stopped in front of the Mingsu Palace gate and looked up at people coming in and out of the gate from time to time.

The vast square was filled with players. Some looked like merchants waiting to make a deal, some seemed to be waiting to be received inside the gate, and many others knelt in front of a stone wall outside the gate with devout expressions.

Su Yu, filled with curiosity, couldn't help but ask a player who was waiting idly:
"Dude, what are these people kneeling outside the door doing? Are they asking to become my apprentices?"

The man glanced at him and asked with a smile:

"You're from out of town, aren't you?"

"Yes, this is my first time here."

"That's right, these people are asking to become your disciples."

Su Yu looked surprised:
"Isn't the temple gates open to accept disciples at a fixed time every year? What's the use of kneeling here begging now?"

The man looked at Su Yu with surprise and asked:
"Are you from the mainland?"

"Uh, yes."

"No wonder. Overseas is different from the mainland. Apart from the major sects that open their gates every year, small sects or rogue immortals have no time limit for accepting disciples. As long as the conditions are met, they can accept disciples at any time."

"That's it"

"I've heard that Palace Master Mingsu is from a branch of the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect in the mainland. The sect's cultivation techniques are of a very high level. If one could become a disciple, becoming a rogue immortal would be a distant dream, but becoming a minor expert would be no problem."

"By the way, young man, you've come all the way from the inland, you wouldn't happen to be thinking of becoming my apprentice, would you?"

Su Yu smiled and waved her hand, saying:
"No, I've come to visit relatives."

"Visiting relatives?"

The man clearly became interested and asked:
"Young man, do you have a relative who has become a disciple of Mingsu Palace?"

"um, yes."

The man's eyes lit up, and his tone immediately became enthusiastic:

"Good luck, young man. I wonder which master your relative is? I've been around here for decades, and I know all the disciples and famous grand-disciples of the Mingsu Palace Master."

"Well"

Jiang Chuan immediately realized he had been too enthusiastic, so he quickly clasped his hands in greeting and said:
"I was being presumptuous, I'm sorry."

Su Yu smiled and waved her hand, saying:
"It doesn't matter."

"Excuse me, let me go ask first."

"It's alright, go ask around. If you can't find out, come back to me. My name is Jiang Chuan, I'm a small businessman, and I usually either stay here or in Jinjiao City."

"Ah."

After bidding farewell to the somewhat enthusiastic Jiang Chuan, Su Yu arrived at the gate of Mingsu Palace. Two men in specially made Taoist robes guarding the entrance noticed him. One of them, before Su Yu could speak, tapped the words on the stone slab beside him and said:

"If you wish to become an apprentice, fill out a form according to the above standards and submit it. Then go back and wait. Every month, those who have entered the sect will be listed on the stone wall."

"If you wish to visit a friend, please register your name first. You will receive a reply within three days at the latest."

"Hmm, let's visit a friend."

He didn't mention his second brother directly because although his senior brother had found the information, he hadn't actually met him in person, so he wasn't sure if it was really his second brother.

"Register your name and other information, and indicate who you are visiting."

The man took out a neat A4 sheet of paper and handed it to Su Yu.

His lips twitched, and he obediently picked up his pen to register.

After quickly filling out the forms and handing them to the gatekeeper, Su Yu turned and left.

The requirement to register before visiting was a familiar practice he'd never seen before since arriving on the other side, leaving him speechless for a moment.
But there's not much to say; every place has its own customs, which is not surprising.

After leaving Mingsu Palace, he went straight back to Jinjiao City, found an inn to stay in, and planned to wait there for three days.

However, Mingsu Palace was more efficient than he had imagined. That evening, when he returned to the inn after strolling through the city, he saw a man in brocade robes standing in front of his courtyard.

The man turned to look at Su Yu, and his gaze immediately fell on the man's face.

The man was handsome, and his skin was covered with a faint spiritual light, which was a sign of surviving a heavenly tribulation. Although the scene in his memory was somewhat blurry, the man's appearance was extremely similar to his own, and a strange sense of familiarity washed over him, making him immediately conclude that this must be his second brother, Su Huan.
