Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 714 Cave Mansion
"what?"

Hearing this, even Su Yu, a true immortal, couldn't help but change color.

Ever since the corpse of the Undead Emperor attacked her country of Su, this dark turmoil has been raging in China for more than 1,300 years.

Although the land of China has experienced many turmoils, this is the first time that it has lasted so long. The already ravaged China has been shrouded in a layer of terrifying shadow, and the people are panic-stricken and uneasy.

At this moment, the ancient Tianyu Dynasty was tragically destroyed!

That is the ancient Tianyu Dynasty!
An imperial dynasty holds an imperial weapon, the Tianyu Bell, one of the Three Bells of Shenzhou. Its master, Emperor Tianyu, is also a true immortal of Shenzhou and a top figure among all the saints.

Although he did not win the battle at Hehe Mountain, he still made a name for himself and was regarded by people all over the world as one of the saints with the greatest hope of becoming an emperor.

Such a heritage and such a person would also suffer a disaster?

Su Yu was greatly frightened.

Although there have been unrests in every dynasty, and immortal sects, holy places, and ancient imperial clans have been destroyed, most of them were caused by reasons, such as sudden unrest and instant catastrophe that caught everyone off guard, or the true immortal saint was in charge of the imperial soldiers outside and failed to guard the sect's ancestral land, so they were alone and weak and suffered the disaster, etc.

Examples like the Tianyu Ancient Dynasty, where preparations were made early, where the True Immortal Saint Lord took charge of the imperial army, gathered the imperial dynasty's heritage, suppressed the sect's ancestral land, and finally suffered tragic destruction, were rare and only happened during the most terrifying turmoil.

Thousands of years of turmoil have caused countless casualties in China, and now another dynasty has been destroyed. The disaster is getting worse. Could it be true as the rumors say, that some great terror will be born to devour China and destroy everything?
My mind is filled with thoughts and I am terrified!
But a true immortal is a true immortal after all, and he quickly put that thought aside.

Su Yu turned his gaze back to everyone and asked in a deep voice, "What exactly is going on?"

"I don't know either!"

Upon hearing this, the King of Fufeng smiled miserably and narrated the whole story to You Suyu.

"After the turmoil broke out, the emperor first led the kings to defend Tianyu City, and arranged for several of our clans to stay outside to prevent any accidents."

"As a result, something unexpected really happened. Three months ago, the sound of the Emperor's Bell shook the Heaven Realm. Afterwards, we received a letter saying that our ancestral land was in danger of being robbed, and ordered our clan to flee immediately to protect the Tianyu bloodline..."

"We fled in a hurry, and after many twists and turns, difficulties and obstacles, we finally arrived here, but we were still discovered and killed by Lord Ye. We also heard from him that Tianyu was destroyed, the emperor died, and the emperor bell was lost..."

After the narration, King Fufeng, who had not stood up, kowtowed to the ground, held out an object with both hands, and said in a desolate voice: "Today, there are tigers and wolves everywhere, and we have nowhere to go. I beg the academy to take us in and allow us to continue the Tianyu bloodline here. We are willing to offer the God's scriptures and the treasures in the treasury as a means of survival..."

Su Yu glanced at him and said, "The academy has its own laws, and the Taoist master also has his own decrees. In this disaster, we will protect the world, tolerate all living beings, and eliminate demons and evil ways. No matter who enters my Taoist domain, they will have a place to stay without having to rely on anything else, and you are no exception!"

Although they knew the style of the Wandao Academy and had expected this, King Fufeng and the people of Tianyu were still overjoyed when they heard Su Yu's words, and hurriedly said, "Master Dao, we are so kind, we have no way to repay you, and we will definitely be grateful to you from now on..."

"No need to say more lies!"

Su Yu glanced coldly at everyone and said, "Although the Taoist master has issued a decree to protect the people of the world during this disaster, demons and evil ways are not included in this decree. If you are a demon or evil, then if you enter the Taoist realm, not only will you have no place to stay, but you will also have to go to the execution platform. Do you understand?"

"I know, I know. Don't worry, Fox Ancestor!"

As soon as Su Yu finished speaking, King Fufeng spoke again and again: "We are all people with clean backgrounds, and we are definitely not thieves. When the Taoist master was in Tianyu Ancient City, it was Ling Hui, the lunatic, who acted on his own initiative and was crazy. The emperor loved his brother so much that he was confused for a moment. Please..."

"enough!"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted. Su Yu waved his hands and said, "Since you all already know, I won't say any more. After entering my Dao domain, just follow the rules. If you cross the line, no one can save you!"

"Come with me!"

After saying that, without caring about the reactions of the people in Tianyu, he walked forward towards the Dao Realm.

Upon seeing this, everyone at Tianyu quickly stood up and followed, not daring to linger for a moment.

This place is originally the border of the Dao Realm, otherwise there would not be any True Immortals patrolling here.

With Su Yu leading the group, they arrived at a huge city in just a few moments.

Although this city is newly built, it has the aura of a crouching tiger and a coiled dragon. It is integrated from top to bottom and flawless. In the flashing spiritual light, it seems that one can see the texture of the avenue, stirring up the momentum of heaven and earth.

"Is this one of the Five Cities?"

"Over the years, the Wandao Academy has expanded rapidly, either suppressing unrest, providing emergency relief, winning over people's hearts, or cleaning up the mess after unrest and taking it for themselves. In the name of suppressing lawlessness and eliminating evil cultivators, they frequently swept the surrounding areas, causing the Dao domain to expand several times. They also built this Five Directions Immortal City on the border to resist the invasion of darkness."

"Five directions and five elements, five elements and five directions. This Five Directions City is similar to the Four Symbols City of Hehe Mountain back then, but its power is far greater than that of the Four Symbols. It is said that each city has all five elements, with the innate five elements formation personally arranged by the Wandao Lord. In addition to the True Immortals and Virtual Immortals guarding the formation, as well as the tens of thousands of cultivators in the academy, I'm afraid that only with the arrival of the Saint Master's Taoist soldiers can there be hope of breaking through."

“That Master of Ten Thousand Paths is a scholar of heaven and earth, proficient in all the dharmas and arts, and is proficient in all of them. His attainments in alchemy, talismans, weapons and formations are even more astonishing. He is the only person in Shenzhou since ancient times who has pushed all four paths to the tenth level.”

“Although the various dharmas and hundreds of arts are not fundamental dharmas, they are also extremely important dharmas for protecting the Dao. Countless True Immortals throughout history have worked hard to achieve the tenth-level realm. This Wandao Lord has cultivated all dharmas with his own strength and reached the tenth level. He has also integrated them and launched the Tiangong Creation dharma…”

"This ability is beyond human ability. No wonder there are rumors that this Wan Dao Lord is a great being from the upper realm who has been rebuilt, or even a supreme being from another realm who has descended into the world."

“Although there are thousands of True Immortals in Shenzhou, there are only a dozen or so with tenth-level skills. They are all old monsters who have experienced turmoil. Some have even received guidance from ancient emperors. But if they were tied together, I’m afraid they would not be as powerful as the Lord of Ten Thousand Daos.”

"Just the border garrison, the Five Directions City, has a tenth-level formation. What about the Wandao City and Wandao Palace in the center of the Dao Realm?"

"The spiritual energy of the heaven and earth in this Dao Realm is several times more abundant than that of ordinary places. It has not become barren because of the innate formation of the Five Square City. It seems that the rumors are true. In addition to the formation method, the Wandao Academy is also good at geomancy. It can nourish the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth and use it endlessly..."

Although they are from the royal family of the imperial dynasty, after entering the Taoist realm, everyone was still like "Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden for the first time". Everything they saw and heard surprised and even shocked them.

Su Yu led the way, but he didn't say much. He led the group of people into the city and then called someone over: "Arrange accommodation for them."

After saying this, he left in a hurry, apparently to report the news of the fall of the Tianyu Ancient Dynasty to the academy.

"Fox Ancestor, take care!"

Everyone in Tianyu watched her leave, and then looked at the person who had hosted them.

He was a young man with a low level of cultivation, only at the Golden Core stage. Compared to the descendants of the imperial dynasty, whose lowest level of cultivation was at the Return to Void stage, he was totally unworthy of being on the same level as them.

But they did not dare to neglect it. The Fufeng King, who had the sixth level of cultivation, stepped forward and said, "Thank you for your trouble, young friend. This is a small token of your appreciation."

After saying that, he skillfully handed over a storage bag.

"..."

The young man looked at him and said nothing.

"..." King Fufeng was silent and sat there awkwardly.

But he was old and wise, and he recovered quickly, took back the storage bag and said, "I am sorry for being rude, please forgive me."

The young man looked at him and said nothing more: "Let's go!"

After saying that, he turned and left, and everyone had no choice but to follow him.

In this way, after a while, they came to a room. The young man took out the jade book, registered the identities of several people first, and then spread out a scroll. Suddenly, a bright light shone, reflecting the beautiful mountains and rivers, which was the territory of Taoism.

The young man spread out the scroll, looked at the people of Tianyu, and explained, "The Taoist master issued a decree. In this time of disaster, the academy will protect the world and eliminate demons and evil ways. No matter what race or species, they will have a place to live here. However, there are so many living beings in the world. If they are not controlled and are placed at will, there will be chaos. Therefore..."

He paused for a moment, drawing everyone's attention to the painting.

"The academy is in the Dao Realm. On the spiritual veins of the major spiritual mountains, many caves have been built in batches. The grades are different. Those who come here can get a cave to live in without spending any money. It is the lowest grade, and the spiritual energy is relatively meager, but safety can be guaranteed. The academy has law enforcement patrols. If a powerful enemy attacks, it will also issue a warning to lead everyone to retreat..."

The young man introduced it and it turned out to be a low-grade cave.

The people of Tianyu looked at each other, then turned their eyes back and asked the young man tentatively: "Our cultivation levels are all above Return to Void, and we need spiritual energy to support our cultivation. I wonder if there are any top-quality caves... for sale?"

The words were tentative, slightly nervous.

Low-level cave?

No dogs live here!

Although they were in distress, they were still members of the imperial family. Asking them to live in the lowest-level caves would not only be a humiliation to their status, but their cultivation needs alone would not be met. This was absolutely unacceptable to them who were shouldering the great responsibility of reviving the country.

In addition, there is another extremely important issue that cannot be ignored, and that is security.

If it were in the past, needless to say, the Wandao Academy had strict laws and regulations, and they hated evil cultivators and cracked down on them vigorously. Even if one lived in a low-end cave, there was no need to worry about being attacked by evil cultivators.

But the biggest danger now is not any evil cultivators, but the dark turmoil!

As descendants of the ancient Tianyu Dynasty, they have developed a deep fear of this dark turmoil.

Holy lands, immortal sects, and ancient clans of imperial dynasties are all in danger of destruction.

The True Immortal Saint and the Supreme Emperor Soldiers are all at risk of falling.

Can Dao Realm withstand such a horrific turmoil?

No one knows, but one thing is certain, that is, in this dark turmoil, the safety of the low-end caves is not guaranteed at all, because according to the map, these low-end caves are all built on the outskirts of the Dao Realm and around Wufang City.

If darkness invades and chaos strikes, this will be the first battlefield. The cultivators in the low-level caves will either flee to Wufang City or retreat into the depths of the Taoist domain.

Either way, it takes time and involves risks.

So, it is very unsafe and insecure.

The young man looked at them and knew what was going on. He chuckled and said, "Although the low-end caves are low-end, their safety is still guaranteed. However, if you are worried, you can also choose mid-range caves and live in Wufang City. The spiritual energy is relatively rich, and there is no need to worry."

"However, the space in the city is limited, and we have to maintain the innate five elements formation, so we can't build too many caves for people to live in. Therefore, these mid-range caves cannot be supplied without funds, and they need spirit stones to buy."

"Except for Wufang City, there are also some mid-range caves and even Taoist temples for sale in the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas in the Dao Realm. Most of them can be purchased with spirit stones, and only a few require the qualification of ten thousand Dao points."

"If you have enough Wandao Points, you can even move to Wandao City. That is the core of the Dao Realm and where the academy is located. It is where the Dao Master resides. The high-end caves inside are not only full of spiritual energy, but you can also join the academy, participate in major events, and even listen to the Dao Master's lectures. This is an opportunity that all immortals desire..."

"Wan Dao Point?"

The people of Tianyu looked at each other, and were somewhat tempted, but soon regained their composure. They first looked at the price of the mid-range cave house, and then looked at the requirements of the high-end cave house. They couldn't help but frowned and asked, "These ten thousand points..."

"Ten Thousand Dao Points can be exchanged for Spirit Stones, but there is a limit for each person each year. So even if you have enough Spirit Stones, you can only purchase some mid-range caves. You cannot directly purchase high-end caves and the major Taoist temples around Wan Dao City."

The young man smiled and said playfully, "If you didn't exchange enough Ten Thousand Dao Points a thousand years ago when the academy didn't set a limit, you would have to accumulate them slowly or exchange them through contributions."

"This……"

Everyone in Tianyu looked at each other, feeling a little regretful for a moment.

They naturally knew about the Wandao Points. After the Wandao Academy was established, it vigorously promoted this special contribution point.

At that time, not only were there no restrictions on exchange, but the exchange rate was also very favorable, which attracted many monks and even top forces to invest, and eventually made a fortune.

But unfortunately, due to the battle at Hehe Mountain, their Tianyu Ancient Dynasty could not save face and thus did not make such investment. After the fall of the Bloody Sun and the coming chaos, although they had ideas, they had no chance. The Wandao Academy imposed various restrictions, making those Wandao points become contribution points in the true sense.

So now, these descendants of Tianyu who have been invested in the Dao Realm do not have enough Ten Thousand Dao Points to pass through the Dao Realm.

This is very embarrassing!

Everyone felt regretful, but it was difficult to change the situation, so they had to face reality: "I don't know how to contribute?"

“That’s a lot of variety!”

The young man smiled and began to explain: "Now the world is in turmoil, and there are dangers everywhere. Even the academy is short of manpower. You can serve the academy, pacify the four directions, suppress the turmoil, and eliminate the evil cultivators. You can earn ten thousand Dao points for these. If you have outstanding military exploits, you can even be rewarded with a superior cave or even a famous mountain dojo."

"If you are not good at fighting, the academy also has tasks such as refining medicine, making talismans and arrays, growing spiritual plants, raising spiritual beasts, etc. In addition, the academy also collects Taoist methods from all over the world. If you hand in a method that is not included in the academy, you can also get ten thousand Taoist points."

"If you are not good at any of the above, you can also exchange it with various rare treasures. As long as it is not stolen goods or evil things, the academy will trade it."

"In short, there are many varieties and it depends on how you choose!"

"This……"

Listening to the young man's explanation, everyone in Tianyu looked at each other in bewilderment. Then it was King Fufeng who spoke up: "Can you allow us to discuss this for a moment?"

The young man didn't care, and chuckled and said, "The compartment is a quiet room, no one is there, you can do whatever you want!"
