Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 340 The Great Commander of Beiming Dragon City, the Divine Efficacy of the Mysterious Heavenly Fruit

"Come back in a year" refers to a year in reality, but Su Yu quickly changed her mind and decided to wait two years.

Because he adjusted the flow of time on the Xuan Tian Immortal Vine, reducing it by half.

The freed-up spiritual energy of the Dinghai Realm was transferred to the peach tree on the other side.

Similarly, the crystallization of time was incorporated into the root of this peach tree, causing it to bloom and bear fruit quickly.

There are 11 Time Crystals left, which will be kept for future use.

This stuff is too precious; other elixirs aren't worth using for now.

Moreover, this treasure is a top-tier means of enhancing combat power for Su Yu, who has mastered the laws of time. All his time-law divine abilities will increase in power by more than ten times when activated by the time crystal.

His mastery of the laws of time is now stronger than that of ordinary celestial beings. When combined with the time crystal to unleash the divine power of the laws of time, even true immortals would be affected.

After emerging from the Dinghai border, Su Yu pinched her chin and fell into deep thought.

"It seems like there's no hope for Beiming Dragon City."

Two of the three existing dragon princes oppose the idea, and more than half of the dragon sons and grandsons oppose it. He doesn't think the Dragon King will be unaffected.

"It's fine if you don't have it, it's just extra anyway, not necessary."

Su Yu has a clear direction for his future plans. He knows his progress every year and has already planned how many years it will take to improve his cultivation. As long as he follows the plan step by step, becoming a True Immortal or a Profound Immortal is not out of the question.

"Let's go back to Dragon Castle now."

Deep within Dragon Castle, in a grotto-heaven, the colossal Azure Dragon King hovered above, surrounded by dozens of true dragons of varying sizes coiled in all directions, their booming voices echoing throughout the grotto-heaven:
"The Northern Dragon City is the legacy of the Sixth Prince. How can it be handed over to outsiders? I disagree."

"Although Ao Run is a descendant of the Sixth Prince, his strength and bloodline are both average, and he is not qualified to rule Beiming Dragon City."

"Although Su Yu has good potential, he is not a pure dragon. His true form is human. How can he lead his own race?"

The dragon princes and grandsons each gave their reasons, and almost all of them disagreed with the petition submitted by Ao Qing. Some of the more impatient dragon princes even made no attempt to hide their ambitions:
“Father, Beiming Dragon City is the core of the North Sea and the core force that resists the invasion of the Sea Serpent Clan. In recent years, without a sufficiently powerful dragon prince to guard it, our clan’s territory in the North Sea has been repeatedly encroached upon. If this continues, the North Sea will be in danger. I suggest that a powerful clansman be selected to guard it.”

Immediately another dragon prince said:

"This is a good suggestion. In recent years, Beiming Dragon City has indeed been declining and it really needs a powerful dragon prince to take charge."

A golden dragon stepped forward and proclaimed in a loud voice:

“Father, I am willing to go.”

As soon as someone stepped forward, a dragon prince immediately volunteered. In no time, more than a dozen dragon princes and grandsons volunteered one after another, making the cave as noisy as a vegetable market.

Ao Ying was also among them, but he didn't speak. He just silently watched his brothers arguing over the North Sea Dragon City.

It wasn't that he looked down on Beiming Dragon City, but rather that, being as clever as he was, he knew that his father would not agree to his other brothers becoming the lords of Beiming Dragon City, nor would he be able to split up Beiming Dragon City, because that would be breaking the rules and order jointly established by the Dragon Kings of the Four Continents and the Dragon Palaces of the Immortal Realms.

Rules and order are the foundation of the Dragon Palace's existence, and the King would never destroy them.

Moreover, if Father really had this idea, he would have split up Beiming Dragon City long after the death of the Sixth Prince of the Dragon Clan, and there was no way he would have waited until now.

So when his brothers were arguing, he calmly stayed in the back and watched the show.

After four or five minutes of noise, the Dragon King suddenly extended a dragon finger and gently tapped the void. Ripples spread out in the void, and all sound disappeared wherever the finger touched. A moment later, the Dragon King's loud voice rang out:

"Ao Qing, you are the First Commander of Beiming Dragon City. Do you have anything to say about the proposals made by the Dragon Princes?"

Ao Qing flew out and, standing in the center of the dragons, loudly proclaimed:
"Your Majesty the Dragon King, the three crown princes, and all the sons and grandsons of the dragon, I only have two words to say."

"Say!"

"Firstly, you all also have moments of weakness."

"Secondly, rules are easy to break but difficult to rebuild; only with rules can there be lasting peace and stability."

After saying those two brief sentences, Ao Qing stepped aside and remained silent.

The cave also fell silent, and the dragon princes and grandsons, who had just been arguing passionately, all fell silent.

After a full minute of silence, the Dragon King's voice rang out:

"By imperial decree, the request of Beiming Dragon City is granted, and the Dragon Maiden Ao Run shall succeed as the Lord of Beiming Dragon City, and the True Dragon Su Yu shall assume the position of Grand Commander of Beiming Dragon City."

The dragon princes and grandsons remained silent, and even the dragon princes who had argued most fiercely earlier stopped speaking.

It wasn't that they were truly persuaded to back down by Ao Qing's few words; the main reason was that they knew the Dragon King's attitude.

In fact, the Dragon King's attitude was very firm from the beginning. However, at first, the Dragon King wanted Su Yu to come so that they would think that the Dragon King's attitude had softened, so he continued to test them.

Now, the dragon sons and grandsons who have been in contact with the Dragon King for thousands or even tens of thousands of years can see at a glance that the Dragon King has made his stance clear, so naturally they will no longer engage in pointless disputes.

Su Yu had just been teleported from Beiming Dragon City when she received a message from Ao Qing:
"The Dragon King has agreed to the petition, appointing Ao Run as the Lord of Beiming Dragon City and you as the Grand Commander of Dragon City. Come and see the Dragon King immediately."

Su Yu was stunned for a while, and said with mixed feelings:

"I can't believe you actually succeeded."

Ao Qing said in a deep voice:

"It was bound to succeed; the Dragon King couldn't possibly disrupt the order."

"You have good taste. Please guide me in the future."

A dozen minutes later, Su Yu entered the cave again and met the Azure Dragon King.

The Dragon King's piercing gaze swept over Su Yu, and he nodded slightly.
"Ao Qing's vision is indeed extraordinary. I believe that under your leadership, Beiming Dragon City can regain its former glory."

Su Yu replied earnestly:

"I think I can do it."

Dragons are different from humans. Like demons and beasts, they value strength above all else. Humility doesn't work here. Su Yu's strength is not yet at the level of a True Immortal, but he has to show his attitude.

The Dragon King flicked his finger, and a beam of blue light shot out. Su Yu reached out and caught it, immediately startled, and heard the Dragon King say:

"This is the Sea-Suppressing Pearl. Every Grand Commander has one for self-defense."

He quickly bowed down:
"Thank you, Dragon King, for bestowing this treasure."

"Well, let's go!"

Su Yu bid farewell and left the cave, extending her right palm where a blue bead hovered, emanating a faint, invisible ripple.

Zhenhai Pearl (Mid-grade Immortal Treasure): A treasure of the Azure Dragon Palace, capable of suppressing the four seas.

Supernatural Abilities: Sea Suppression, Sea Dividing, Control of All Waters, Innate Water Thunder +5, Innate Water Escape +5, Sea Suppression Strike.

Zhenhai Strike: Activates the Zhenhai Pearl to smash the target, dealing 20 billion + 3000% magic damage as physical damage. Casting range is 1000 kilometers, mana cost is 200 million, cooldown is 60 seconds, characteristics: shatter, size can be adjusted, automatically returns.

"Damn, I never thought my first real magical treasure would come about this way."

"And it's a mid-grade immortal treasure."

It's a pity that it's not a defensive immortal treasure, but an offensive one; otherwise, it could have been used to help Canghai overcome the great calamity of heaven and man.

After retrieving the magical treasure, Su Yu and Ao Qing returned to Beiming Dragon City together.

With the Dragon King's decree in hand, nothing unexpected happened next.

Ao Qing recalled all the commanders and demon immortals belonging to Beiming Dragon City, as well as many former subordinates and friendly demon immortals of Beiming Dragon City, and held an inauguration ceremony.

At the ceremony, Ao Run was confirmed as the city lord of Beiming Dragon City, and Su Yu was confirmed as the grand commander of Beiming Dragon City.

Ao Run sat on the dragon throne above, with Su Yu standing beside her, but all eyes were on him.

In one corner of the grand ceremony, a dozen or so human players active in Beiming Dragon City stared in astonishment at Su Yu, who stood in the center of the demon immortals on the stage. The regional channel was in an uproar, filled with nothing but shock.

"Goodness, this brother seems to be human, right? How did he become the Grand Commander of Beiming Dragon City? I've never heard of his deeds before."

"This is so sudden, I've never heard of it before."

"His true form is only around level 200, not even a Celestial Immortal yet he's become the Grand Commander of the Northern Underworld Dragon City, commanding billions of naval troops and dozens of Celestial Immortals. Tsk tsk, what a meteoric rise!"

"It's not just a meteoric rise; he can now mobilize up to sixty or seventy Celestial Immortals, and the power he wields already surpasses that of ordinary True Immortals. He's a top figure in the entire civilization."

"Yes, indeed."

"But this is a good thing, brothers. The commander of Beiming Dragon City is one of our own. We will have an advantage over other races here in the future."

"After the ceremony, let's find some time to go and offer our congratulations together."

"Ok, Ok."

Putting aside their various shocks, Su Yu occasionally glanced at their conversations on the regional channel and found it quite enjoyable.

As they said, everyone is of the same race, which is indeed an advantage. In the future, we can recruit more of our own race and give them some power, such as making them mid- to lower-level naval commanders.

Level 200 Golden Core players placed in other parts of the Dragon Clan faction can only serve as mercenaries to receive some missions, and rarely have the power to command troops, unless they find a way to recruit them themselves.

Once he becomes the supreme commander, he will have the power to promote a group of mid- to low-ranking naval officers.

Once you become a naval commander, you can mobilize your naval forces to serve you, including leveling up, defeating bosses, and so on, to gain benefits and improve your strength.

Furthermore, players who become naval commanders can increase the combat power of their naval forces.

The demon generals have limited intelligence and lack any tactics in battle, resorting to simple attacks. This not only prevents them from fully utilizing the strengths of their various naval forces but also results in significant losses.

Players are different; they not only use various tactics to maximize their strengths and minimize their weaknesses, but they also manage battle formations, thus multiplying their combat power.

After the inauguration ceremony, Su Yu and Ao Run returned to the Northern Underworld Dragon Palace to meet the twelve commanders again.

The First Commander, Ao Qing, is a level 384 Azure Dragon with a mythical template. His appearance is that of a middle-aged man wearing a blue robe. He was formerly the Acting Commander and was stationed in Beiming Dragon City as the Commander of the Central Camp.

The second commander, Ao Rui, is a level 380 blue dragon with a mythic template. He is depicted as a young man wearing a blue robe and is stationed at the eastern camp of Beiming Dragon City.

The third leader, Lan Ze, is a level 375 dragon whale with a mythical template. His appearance is that of a burly man clad in golden armor, and he is stationed at the southern camp of Beiming Dragon City.

The fourth commander, Gui Bo, is a level 377 seven-headed dragon turtle, a mythical template. His appearance is that of a middle-aged strong man carrying a turtle's back, and he is stationed in the western camp of Beiming Dragon City.

The Fifth Commander, Xie Chen, is a level 377 Shattered Star Golden Claw Crab, a Mythic template. He is the brother of the Seventh Commander, Xie Zi Lei, and is stationed at the North Camp of Beiming Dragon City.

The sixth commander, Ao Bo, is a level 364 golden dragon with a mythical template. His appearance is that of a young, strong man wearing golden armor, and he is in charge of the second naval camp.

The seventh commander, Crab Purple Thunder, is a level 352 Shattered Star Golden Claw Crab with a mythical template. His appearance is that of a burly man wearing purple and gold armor, who is in charge of the third naval camp.

The eighth commander, Golden Shadow, is a level 358 Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast, a Mythic template. He appears as a burly man clad in golden armor and commands the Fourth Naval Camp. The ninth commander, Shrimp Commander, is a level 352 Golden-Clawed Lobster, a Mythic template. He appears as a burly man clad in purple-gold armor and commands the Fifth Naval Camp.

The tenth commander, Han Li, is a level 358 Taiyin Han Chi, a mythical template character. Her appearance is that of a woman wearing blue armor, and she commands the sixth naval camp.

The eleventh commander, Ao Bai, is a level 325 golden dragon, a mythical template, the son of the sixth prince of the dragons, a young man dressed in brocade robes, and in charge of the seventh naval camp.

The twelfth commander, Ao Han, is a level 318 golden dragon, a mythical template, the son of the sixth prince of the dragons, a young man dressed in brocade robes, and in charge of the eighth naval camp.

The twelve commanders are all based on mythological figures, and the eight naval forces are stationed in areas within a radius of no more than 100 million kilometers of Beiming Dragon City.

For the next period of time, Su Yu was extremely busy. After meeting with the twelve commanders, he also had to meet with the other eight demon immortals and gain control of 42 wild beasts, including the two fifth-tier wild beasts.

Among them, the Eight Desolate Dragon Turtle lies in the center of the Northern Dark Dragon City all year round, and a palace is built on its back. It will only go out when the Grand Commander and the City Lord personally lead an expedition.

Crocodile Dragon also stays in Beiming Dragon City, but it stays near the giant sea eye near Beiming Dragon City all year round, in order to suppress or drive away the high-level monsters that spawn from the sea eye.

In addition, after becoming the Grand Commander of Beiming Dragon City, Su Yu has been able to control some of Beiming Dragon City's resources, including the authority to issue missions.

In addition, Beiming Dragon City is located above the sea eye, with a sixth-order spiritual vein. The cultivation speed here is very fast, and one can accumulate billions of cultivation points and tens of thousands of cultivation points every day.

By the time Su Yu finished all this, half a year had passed.

On the throne, Ao Qing was introducing Su Yu, who was seated above him:
"Through the efforts of the Grand Commander, the commanders have initially accepted the Grand Commander and will cooperate with most orders. Next, we only need to slowly demonstrate our strength, and one day the commanders will be completely convinced."

Su Yu waved her hand and said:
"There's no need to say more; I was already mentally prepared for this a long time ago."

This is normal. He is now considered to have good strength and potential by the twelve commanders. The reason they agreed to make him the Grand Commander was to take a gamble. Ao Qing also thought so.

If he can realize his potential in the future, even if he only converts a portion of it to become a true immortal, he will be able to convince them and gain all the power.

So he wasn't angry at all; he remained calm.

Up to now, the only troops he can fully mobilize are the Central Camp controlled by the First Commander Ao Qing, the Western Camp controlled by the Third Commander Gui Bo, the Northern Camp controlled by the Fifth Commander Xie Chen, and the Third Naval Camp controlled by the Seventh Commander Xie Zilei.

Besides, the Second Commander and the Fourth Commander can mobilize a portion of their Eastern and Southern Camps, but while their main elite troops are difficult to move, they can easily borrow one or two hundred million cannon fodder in normal times.

As for the remaining naval camps, they were similar to the East and South camps, unable to deploy elite troops and forced to rely on cannon fodder for support.

Those eight non-commanding demon immortals belonging to the Northern Underworld Dragon City could be mobilized.

In addition, he can command more than twenty of the forty-two wild beasts.

However, the two fifth-tier wild beasts could only command the Eight Desolate Dragon Turtle, while the fifth-tier Crocodile Dragon could not be commanded for the time being.

Wild beasts have not yet developed intelligence and rely solely on strength. Unless the master gives an order, it is impossible to command them without sufficient strength.

The one who subdued this crocodile dragon was the Sixth Prince of the Dragon Clan, but the Sixth Prince of the Dragon Clan died long ago, and now no one can command this wild beast for the time being.

In summary, he can currently mobilize a maximum of over thirty Celestial Immortals, more than one billion naval troops, and over six million elite naval troops.

It was already very strong, instantly surpassing Ao Ying's hard-earned accumulation over hundreds of years.

"Now that we have a basic foundation, all we need to do is gradually increase our strength, and one day we will be able to conquer them."

Su Yu stroked her chin, deep in thought:

“But this is too slow. I can’t stay here for decades. I need to subdue them quickly.”

Su Yu pondered for a moment, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and snapped her fingers:

"Huh, why didn't I think of that?"

He waved his hand to open the gate to the Sea-Stabilizing Realm, eagerly stepped inside, and loudly asked:
"Madam, are the immortal fruits ripe?"

"Two batches have already ripened, totaling eighteen Xuan Tian Immortal Fruits."

"Oh, let me see."

Canghai waved his hand, and eighteen immortal fruits, their surfaces covered with purple immortal patterns and surrounded by faint fluctuations of law, appeared before him.

Mysterious Heaven Immortal Fruit: A spiritual root, Mysterious Heaven Immortal Vine, it takes 30,000 years to flower, 30,000 years to bear fruit, and 30,000 years to mature, and can produce nine Mysterious Heaven Immortal Fruits.

Attribute: All innate attributes +10, which can greatly improve cultivation level.

Note: The maximum increase in innate attributes is 120 points, and it can only be applied a maximum of three times.

Note: Each Mysterious Immortal Fruit increases the Golden Immortal level by 1, the Mysterious Immortal level by 3, the True Immortal level by 10, and the Celestial Immortal level by 30. Mortals cannot absorb or refine it.

Note: Results may vary depending on the amount of time and effort invested.

"Such a powerful effect!"

Su Yu immediately realized that the Supreme Dragon Transformation was only level 354 at the moment, and he only needed to eat two or three pills to level up to 399 and then undergo the True Immortal Tribulation.

"It's quite difficult to pass the True Immortal Tribulation. You can refine one first to test its effect."

Without hesitation, Su Yu announced his seclusion, then took out a Xuan Tian Immortal Fruit and swallowed it into the dragon's mouth. The next second, a violent torrent exploded within his body, seeping into his flesh and blood.

An immense power, like a torrent, flowed through the body's limbs and bones, causing flames to ignite on the coiled dragon's body and its aura to rise rapidly.

An hour later, level 355.

Two hours later, level 356.

Five hours later, level 359.

Twenty-three hours later, at level 370, the effects of the medicine wore off, leaving him 14 levels below the standard level 30.

However, Su Yu was not disappointed at all; on the contrary, he showed joy, which showed that the accumulation of the Supreme Dragon Transformation was far stronger than that of his peers.

"Prompt: You have refined the Mysterious Heavenly Immortal Fruit, all attributes +10."

"Notification: You have refined the Mysterious Heavenly Immortal Fruit, level +23."

Character: Supreme Dragon Transformation (Mythology)

Level: Level 370.

Race: True Dragon (Ancient Dragon in the process of metamorphosis, 23/100)

Primordial Spirit: True Dragon Primordial Spirit (Pure Yang)

Innate attributes: Root bone 85, Comprehension 82, Six senses 89, Fortune 88, Lifespan: 129600 years.

Qi and blood: 180 billion, 90 billion.

Mana: 7000 million, 14000 million.

Physical fitness: 16000 million, 32000 million.

Strength: 30000 million, 60000 million.

Spell damage bonus: 4500 million, 9000 million.

Flight speed: 70 million kilometers per hour.

Laws: Fire Law +30, Life Law +30, Devouring Law +1
Supernatural powers: omitted.
"Hmm, it only increased the level, but did not improve the laws or the ancient dragon bloodline."

Su Yu glanced at the level and clicked her tongue:

"After refining two more, the level will be maxed out."

"Pause first, devour everything and max out your attributes first."

Now, maxing out Devouring Heaven and Earth increases the maximum of all attributes by 100%. Combined with the Ancient Dragon Bloodline's +100% increase to all attributes, one can overcome the True Immortal Tribulation without any magic weapons, relying solely on oneself.

After closing the panel, Su Yu exited the game first.

Using his authority as the supreme commander, he allocated a batch of materials for building an ultra-long-distance teleportation array, and ordered Canghai to build the base of the teleportation array first.

He is now the Grand Commander of Beiming Dragon City, and there is no safer place to build a teleportation array back to Blue Mountain.

Then, using his authority as the Grand Commander, he exchanged a bunch of ninth-tier cannon fodder magic weapons from the warehouse, and then occupied the Tribulation Platform to make Xia Xiaoyue and other women undergo the Golden Core Tribulation.

They have been cultivating the Purple Mansion Star River Heavenly Scripture for a long time, and their level has already reached 199. Each of them has four or five tenth-tier magic treasures, including proper defensive tenth-tier magic treasures. With the assistance of the Tribulation Crossing Platform, each of them has a few Tribulation Crossing Pills, and with a batch of cannon fodder magic treasures, they can successfully cross the tribulation.

This configuration can overcome all second-tier Heavenly Tribulations, and even a small number of the highest-difficulty Heavenly Tribulations that are not too difficult.

Based on their strength and accumulated experience, they are most likely to face a second-tier Heavenly Tribulation; the probability of a third-tier one is not high.

Su Yu didn't pay attention to their tribulation. Anyway, she had prepared everything she could. From time to time, she would go to the giant sea eye next to Beiming Dragon City to maximize her attributes first.

Every day, he would squat in the sea eye and devour five waves of the heaven and earth, then return to the Northern Dragon City to transform back into his true form and cultivate.

Of course, while cultivating, he also kept searching for Yu Jun, continuing to offer a bounty on his location in the black market, ready to strike whenever the opportunity arose.

Two months later, Xia Xiaoyue, Yue Qingsi, Cui Yunxian, and Yan Qiubai successfully survived their second Great Heavenly Tribulation and condensed their first-grade Golden Cores.

Five months later, several true dragons circled around the edge of the water eye of the Northern Underworld Dragon City. One of the red dragons pinned down a level 285 peerless blue dragon with one claw, and placed its other claw on the blue dragon's head, shouting:
"Transform into a demon!"

The surging dragon power flowed into the Azure Dragon's body through its claws, causing the Azure Dragon's massive body to rapidly twist and transform, quickly shrinking into a dragon-headed, human-bodied demon several meters tall.

Su Yu tilted her head and glanced at the Flood Dragon Demon that was bowing down in front of her for a moment. She then extended her dragon claw, and a dazzling blood-red light appeared, which quickly condensed into a drop of ancient dragon blood engulfed in flames.

The dragon demon lying in front of him looked up at the ancient dragon's essence blood, a hint of longing on its face.

Meanwhile, Ao Qing and the Second Commander Ao Rui both showed a hint of surprise on their faces:
"This is?"

Su Yu smiled as he looked at the dragon and said:

"You're lucky."

He gently pressed the ancient dragon's essence blood in his palm toward the dragon's head.

"Gu Long's enlightenment!"

The blood of the ancient dragon flowed into the dragon's head, and its body rapidly expanded, transforming back into a dragon. With its body shaking violently, its dragon scales cracked and its skin peeled away, and its blood gushed out, instantly turning it into a blood dragon.

The dragon twisted in agony, but its aura showed no signs of weakening; instead, it grew stronger and stronger.

"Transform into a dragon?"

The two dragon leaders exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
