Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 58 The Great Changes of Zhenhai Pearl, the Inner Cave Heaven
Fortunately, the great formation isolated them, preventing Su Yu from ascending and also preventing the Hidden Heaven Immortal from discovering that someone was actually cultivating at the bottom where the earth's veins converged.

The human and the dragon frantically inhaled and exhaled spiritual energy, refining five thousand spiritual energy experience points in one go.

It can refine ten mouthfuls of spiritual energy experience per minute, totaling 50000, and 300 million per hour.

Su Yu originally intended to avoid any loss by continuously absorbing and exhaling spiritual energy, but he soon realized that he had overestimated himself. After absorbing and exhaling spiritual energy for several hours, he became intoxicated by it.

Simply put, it's because the digestive capacity is insufficient; too much liquefied spiritual energy was refined in a short period of time, and it couldn't be digested immediately.

Then the person becomes lethargic and feels listless.

This is very embarrassing.

Ao Run didn't have this kind of awkward situation. Her dragon body was powerful enough to allow her to absorb and release spiritual energy almost infinitely.

Seeing how much she could eat, Su Yu felt a pang of sadness, like a close friend who had been poor together suddenly driving a Land Rover.

"This place is too depressing, let's go back in a few days."

His response was a dragon's tail lashing across his face.

Su Yu covered her face with her hands, clearly unhappy.

After a while, he began to inhale and exhale spiritual energy again, but he could only inhale a dozen times before he couldn't digest it. He could only look around aimlessly, occasionally checking his attribute panel or summoning his flying sword to practice his swordsmanship.

He condensed his magical power into sword energy, and then compressed it using the same method of condensing sword energy into threads, reducing the Taibai sword energy to a width of one inch.

The sword energy is compressed, making it even stronger.

In addition, the property of condensing swords into threads also applies to sword aura. Now sword aura also has +1 armor penetration, which greatly increases its lethality.

During practice, Su Yu suddenly sensed something and asked:
"Why does it feel a bit chilly? Did you spray out a midday cold wave?"

Ao Run, who was wrapped around his waist, looked up and shook her little head.
"No."

"Then what"

Su Yu glanced in a certain direction and suddenly trembled, startled.

A woman's figure appeared on the surface of the jade pillar above their heads. It was the incomplete innate goddess in the great formation. She appeared on the surface of the jade pillar at some unknown time, and a layer of runic chains bound her inside the jade pillar, preventing her from breaking out.

Su Yu was shocked for a moment, but realizing that she didn't seem to have any ill intentions, she tentatively reached out to greet her:
"Hello there!"

The goddess also reached out her hand to him, and a clear, gentle voice rang out:

"Can you get me out of here?"

Su Yu paused for a moment, then shook her head and said:
"I can't get in."

Then he asked:
Are you trapped in here?

She nodded slightly:
"Yes."

"I thought he was protecting you."

"I could tell he was a bad person."

"Hmm, it comes from the extraordinary perception of innate beings!"

Su Yu scratched his head and said somewhat helplessly:
"I want to save you too, but I can neither beat him nor get in, so I can't rescue you."

"I can come out."

"???"

Su Yu was surprised:

"Since you were able to get out, why were you trapped inside?"

A soft voice said:
“I have nowhere to go; if I leave here, I will soon perish.”

"Oh"

Su Yu understood somewhat; it meant that this great formation couldn't trap her at all, it was mainly to prevent others from entering.

"That's true. After all, they are innate beings. How could mortal formations easily trap them?"

The reason she doesn't leave is because she is incomplete now, and if she leaves, she will soon perish without a sufficient supply of spiritual energy from the earth's veins.

Then the problem is coming.

"How can I save you? I also can't provide enough spiritual energy for you to survive."

A soft voice said:

"you can."

"???"

“You possess a primordial object containing the essence of water, and I can stay inside it.”

A sudden inspiration struck Su Yu, and she instantly thought of the Zhenhai Pearl.

With a wave of her hand, specks of blue light converged and transformed into the Sea-Suppressing Pearl. The goddess's face immediately lit up with joy, and she said happily:
"This is it, I can stay in here."

Su Yu held the Zhenhai Pearl, examining it closely, and asked in confusion:
"There's no space inside this treasure of mine, how come you..."

Before he could finish speaking, a blue light shone from the goddess's body, and her perfect divine body collapsed, turning into countless streams of blue light that flew out through layers of rune chains and poured into the Sea-Suppressing Pearl in his hand.

The Zhenhai Pearl swallowed the blue light transformed from the innate water spirit and immediately ignited a blue flame. As the master of the Zhenhai Pearl, Su Yu immediately sensed that the treasure was beginning to change.

But before he could examine the changes in the Zhenhai Pearl closely, he felt the jade pillar suddenly vibrate violently.

"Oh no, the Celestial Being of Hidden Heaven has awakened."

He decisively took out the Great Teleportation Talisman and activated it, then grabbed Ao Run and stuffed him into the spirit cage.

The Great Teleportation Talisman was quickly activated, and layers of spatial power began to ripple.

"Holy crap, this is so slow."

The teleportation talisman requires fifteen seconds to activate, which is nothing under normal circumstances, but in this life-or-death situation, those seconds feel like an eternity.

Fortunately, the Celestial Being was still unaware of what was happening. He only knew that the Primordial Goddess had suddenly disappeared from the great formation, but he didn't know where she had gone. At this moment, he was frantically urging the great formation to search inch by inch.

The grand formation, the jade pillars blocking the way, the surging spiritual tides being isolated, the interference of the earth's magnetic field, and the extremely strong isolation effect of the jade stones hundreds of kilometers deep underground meant that the Hidden Heavenly Man did not discover Su Yu, who was separated by several layers.

After a breathtaking fifteen seconds of activation, accompanied by the explosion and rapid contraction of spatial power, he was enveloped and torn through space to leave the depths of the earth.

I teleported away, my feet felt light, and I heard the familiar cacophony of players.

He quickly looked around; it was a town.

He took to the air and surveyed his surroundings. It was a riverside town. Judging from the vastness of the river, it was probably not the Cangshui River, but rather the Yuanjiang River. He used the Great Teleportation Talisman to teleport him to a small town on the banks of the Yuanjiang River.

We need to get out of here right now!

Su Yu immediately took to the air on his sword, leaving a trail of sword rainbows dozens of meters long as he rose from the town and flew north.

Less than a kilometer from the town, a loud bang suddenly came from afar, followed by a beam of light that pierced through the river and soared tens of thousands of miles into the sky. An indescribable, terrifying pressure exploded out like a tidal wave and swept across the town like lightning.

Su Yu was struck by the lightning and froze, unable to move. Her gaze fell on the small town not far away. The bustling town was now like a game screen paused, with everyone frozen in place.

"That was a quick reaction."

A few seconds later, an incredibly loud voice rang in everyone's ears:

"The people of Cangtian have lost a precious treasure. No one is allowed to leave the city. Anyone who has left the city must immediately return to cooperate with the inspection." Then Su Yu found that he could move again.

But he didn't continue to leave, because if he left at this point, he would definitely be noticed. So he could only turn around and return to the riverside town he had just left.

The guilds belonging to the town had already begun to assemble, presumably having accepted the mission from Hidden Heaven to assist him. He had just entered the town when he heard someone shouting:
"Master Zangtian is offering a reward: anyone who finds his lost treasure can become his personal disciple and be given a ninth-tier flying sword or magic weapon. If anyone provides clues that help Master Zangtian find the treasure, they will be rewarded with either a seventh-tier flying sword or magic weapon, or a refined Qi refining technique."

"Oh!"

The city immediately erupted in excitement, everyone's eyes lit up as they began to discuss it.

Su Yu's expression remained unchanged, noticing that no one had noticed her.

"How do we get out of here?"

Since the Celestial Being is making such a big fuss, he certainly can't expect others to find him. He will definitely search for him personally. He can't guarantee that he can avoid being personally searched by a powerful Earth Immortal.

After much deliberation and careful consideration of various ways to escape, a sudden inspiration struck him:
"There is."

"But there's no need to rush."

He first went into the city and found an inn in the town where he rented a superior room.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Su Yu focused her mind and her consciousness settled in her sea of ​​consciousness. The Zhenhai Pearl, like the sun, hung above her sea of ​​consciousness, radiating a bright blue light. Faint, clear flames were attached to the blue light, emitting a faint, cool aura.

His consciousness fell on the Zhenhai Pearl, his eyes lit up, and he immediately sensed something was wrong.

He actually saw a cave-like space inside the Zhenhai Pearl, with a ball of azure light suspended inside the pearl, constantly radiating a clear and bright light.

Through the azure flames, one could see the innate goddess suspended within the sphere of light, the radiant glow emanating from her body.

The light and flames spread outwards, and the space seemed to melt as it expanded, reaching a size of about two kilometers.

Within this expanded space, which spans two kilometers in diameter, lies only clear, transparent water. Abundant spiritual energy mingles with the water and the radiant light emanating from her body, forming vortexes that seem to be nurturing something within them.

"So that's how they hid."

They actually carved out a space directly within Zhenhai Pearl.

He withdrew his consciousness and his gaze fell on the Zhenhai Pearl, whose attributes changed accordingly.

Zhenhai Pearl (unknown divine object): Sealed, a relic of the Dragon Palace, it can control infinite water vapor and divide the water to stabilize the sea.

Attributes: Water magic power +100%, water magic consumption -50%, water magic damage reduction 50%.

Attribute: The Great Way of Water. The Sea-Suppressing Pearl can control endless water vapor, divide water, suppress the sea, create whirlpools, and tsunamis.

Attribute: Zhenhai Realm, a realm created by a primordial being, capable of accommodating all living beings. Realm size: diameter 2120 meters, spiritual energy concentration level 5, currently growing.

Attribute: Lord of Zhenhai Realm. The Lord can freely control the flow of time in the realm, up to ten times. The Lord receives feedback from the realm's origin, gaining 20 points of spiritual energy experience per second. The Lord can turn the realm on and off at will.

Equipment requirements: Owner recognized.

Tip: The origin of Zhenhai Pearl is changing your essence.

Su Yu opened the panel and looked at it. His innate root bone had increased by 9 points, and now his root bone was 29 points. He silently estimated that there would be about a week left to add the last point of root bone in 10 months. At that time, his innate root bone would reach 30 points, and he would step into the realm of genius.

That's not urgent. The key point is the changes in Zhenhaizhu now.

The first two attributes remain unchanged. After all, this is not an unsealing, but merely the fusion of a primordial water spirit to create a realm within the Zhenhai Pearl.

Or to put it another way, there was originally a realm within the Zhenhai Pearl, but it was sealed and could not be opened before. Now, a primordial water spirit has merged into it and opened it ahead of time. The Zhenhai Pearl itself has not broken the seal.

The two newly added attributes are the realm and the permissions possessed by the realm lord.

The realm is currently a circular space with a diameter of 2120, and it continues to expand with the opening of the innate water spirit.

He didn't know exactly how much it could expand; it depended on when the innate water spirit stopped.

The spiritual energy concentration in this realm is at level five.
To put it simply, the first level is Qi Refining, the second level is Foundation Establishment Immortal, the third level is Golden Core Earth Immortal, and the fourth level is Primordial Spirit Celestial Immortal.

He didn't know exactly how strong it was, since he had never seen or heard of it before; he just needed to know that it was very strong.

The authority of the realm lord encompasses everything. In addition to having complete control over everything within the realm, he can also adjust the flow of time, up to ten times the speed of time.

The authority of this realm lord is above that of the innate water spirit, because the realm itself exists within the Zhenhai Pearl. Su Yu is the true master of the Zhenhai Pearl, while the innate water spirit is merely a tenant who has done some renovations.

It is worth mentioning that after the Innate Water Spirit entered the Zhenhai Pearl and obtained the Innate Water Source, it has begun to perfect itself and will be fully formed in no time.

Then there will be no more restrictions, and our strength will grow rapidly.

With feedback from the origin of the realm, when the Zhenhai Pearl is on his person, Su Yu can obtain spiritual power surging from the Zhenhai Pearl every second, gaining 20 points of spiritual power experience per second.

20 points per second, 1200 per minute, 72000 points per hour, and a total of 172.8 million points of killing experience in 24 hours.

This spiritual energy feedback will increase as the realm expands; the larger the realm, the more feedback there will be.

This means that even if he does nothing, he can steadily gain a large number of cultivation points every day.

After learning about Zhenhai Pearl, Su Yu temporarily shut down her spiritual energy feedback to avoid being discovered.

Ordinary cultivators might not be able to tell, but a powerful Earth Immortal would definitely be able to see the large amount of spiritual energy that had appeared out of nowhere on his body.

After learning about the changes in Zhenhaizhu, Su Yu was in a great mood.

Not only did he obtain a primordial water spirit, but he also gained a portable grotto-heaven rich in spiritual energy. At this moment, Su Yu already had an idea in mind on how to make use of this grotto-heaven.

"I'll try it when I get back."

Standing up from the bed, Su Yu took off all the flying swords, magical treasures, and equipment from her body and put them into the Zhenhai Pearl, including the spirit cage belt containing Ao Run.

Then he looked up towards the Yuan River and smiled slightly:
"Goodbye, Venerable Zangtian!"

He reached out and gathered his magic power, then slammed it against his chest, severing his heart meridian and causing him to instantly lose consciousness.

Yes, his way of escaping was suicide.

As is well known, players in the game can choose their own respawn point after death, but the default respawn point is usually set.

If there is no preset resurrection point, you will resurrect in the nearest town. If there is no town, you will resurrect in a nearby sect or near the Mountain God or River God Temple. If none of these are available, you will resurrect in a random nearby safe place.

Su Yu had a pre-set resurrection point, which was inside the guild's Thousand Feather City.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back at his residence in Thousand Feather City.

As Su Yu pressed her hand to her chest, the only memory she had of was the moment her heart meridian was severed by a slap to the chest; she had no memory of her physical body being reshaped after death.

Open the properties panel and look at the tooltip; you'll see a message at the top:
"Prompt: You committed suicide, losing 5 years of your lifespan to rebuild your physical body."

Looking at the attribute panel again, the maximum lifespan has changed from 111 years to 106 years.

"not bad."

Suicide only results in a loss of 5 life points, which is a pitifully minor consequence compared to being caught by a powerful earth immortal.

Thousand Feather City is probably hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from there, and no matter how hard the Hidden Heaven People think, they could never have imagined it.

Since they haven't met, there's no need to worry about them coming after us unless we're caught red-handed.

"hey-hey!"

With a thought, Su Yu opened the Sea-Suppressing Pearl and took out the magical treasures and equipment that she had previously stored inside.
