Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 194 Traveling Abroad (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
P.S.: Guys, I'm asking for some monthly votes at the end of the month.

"Let's go out and travel!"

Once Qingchan left, Su Yu realized that she seemed to be free of any problems.

The guild has an internal cabinet to handle things, so there's no need to stay here every day. As the guild leader, all you need to do is maintain strong power, and there's no need to worry about being sidelined.

The Demon Fire Golden Canopy is under repair and will take at least a year to be recast.

The sect doesn't need to go back every day. The grandmaster said that the great test for the title of the Seven Suspended Sons is still more than half a year away, but it's not mandatory. If we can't make it in this batch, we can wait for the next batch.

The age limit for this title is 100 years old. He is still very young and there is no need to rush.

He doesn't need to worry about immortal bone materials either, he has money now.

As the guild leader, he has far more guild funds at his disposal than most people can imagine. With the current territory and income of Thousand Star Palace, hundreds of thousands of gold are nothing to him.

Given Su Yu's current situation, all her cultivation techniques have been perfected, so she doesn't need to cultivate anything special anymore. Next, she can simply grind monsters to accumulate cultivation points and Dao power until all her techniques are perfected, all her immortal bones are condensed and she forms an immortal body, and then she can start undergoing tribulation and building her Dao foundation, just like Qing Chan.

This timeframe is estimated to be at least three years and at most five years.

However, he doesn't need to stay at home every day to level up. Staying at home all the time before becoming a free-spirited immortal is not a good choice; he still needs to go out and gain experience.

Just like Qingchan, she had all the supernatural powers and techniques she needed to cultivate before coming to Lanshan Island. She was just waiting to accumulate them, so she traveled all the way to Lanshan Island to travel around. Now that she has accumulated enough, she is going back to Shenzhou Island to prepare for her tribulation.

"So, the only question now is where to travel?"

"Forget about Blue Mountain Island, there's nothing to see there."

"There are quite a few places in the East China Sea that I haven't been to, but now everyone in the Feixing Islands area knows me."

"Well, we'll have to go overseas."

"Hey, there's a place we can go check out."

He suddenly remembered what his grandmaster had said: there was a large island hundreds of millions of kilometers northeast of Blue Mountain Island, where the Tianyan Immortal Sect, which had obtained the other half of the Xuan Ting Treasure Book, was located.

"We can go there and take a look. It's a good opportunity to scout ahead and learn about the situation of the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Sect. After we have established our Dao Foundation and become Loose Immortals, we can go there and try to reclaim the other half of the Heavenly Book."

Without hesitation, Su Yu immediately began preparations.

First, he borrowed another 200,000 from the guild and went back to Xuanzhen Immortal City to buy five Five Elements Divine Crystals and fifteen gourds of Yuan Magnetic Elite, spending a total of 150,000 gold.

Once the materials are in hand, as long as enough cultivation points and Dao cultivation are gathered, one can condense immortal bones on the spot.

Then he returned to his sect and found his master, and asked for a Great Teleportation Talisman and an Earth Immortal Edict for protection.

The Great Teleportation Talisman can teleport across billions of kilometers, allowing you to return no matter where you wander off to.

After finishing all that, he spent a lot of money to buy some necessities for his travels.

Then, he returned to Ten Thousand Poisons Island and found Chu Xinyue, who was cultivating on Golden Spirit Peak. He took out the Five Elements True Scripture and the Lesser Five Elements True Scripture and handed them to her, saying to her in surprise:

"I'm going out to gain experience, and I don't know when I'll be back. You'll have to keep this for now."

Chu Xinyue's red lips parted slightly, but she didn't know what to say for a moment, before she smiled slightly:
"You haven't transcended your tribulation yet, so you definitely need more experience."

"How long will you be gone this time? Where are you going to train?"

"The overseas training will last for a year and a half, or perhaps longer. They will return before establishing their foundation."

"I remember that two of the Seven Sons of Suspended Mountain are going to relinquish their titles at the end of this year. Why don't you compete for them?"

Su Yu smiled and said:

"It's alright, we'll wait for the next batch. It'll only be a few years later at most."

"Too."

Chu Xinyue reached out and took the two original copies of the true scriptures, putting them away and smiling:

"Fortunately, there is this place for cultivation within the cave, so I can cultivate here without having to travel around."

Su Yu nodded and said:
"It is indeed a good place. I hope that when I come back next time, Sister Xinyue's cultivation will have greatly improved."

After chatting for a while, Su Yu took her leave. She then greeted her second brother and sister-in-law, made arrangements for the group's work, and then left Wan Du Island alone with Ao Run, flying northeast.

"The spring river rises with the tide, level with the sea; the bright moon rises with the tide, its shimmering light drifting with the waves for thousands of miles."

The flying boat glides across the sea, the cool moonlight spills onto the ocean, and the blue waves ripple.

Su Yu sat on the deck drinking fine wine, while Ao Run lay beside her with his round belly sticking out. He was holding a jar of wine in one paw and gulping it down. Occasionally, some wine would spill out and slide down the azure, jade-like scales.

“I haven’t felt this relaxed in a long time.”

Su Yu recalled her journey of cultivation, during which one thing after another happened, almost without stopping.

This time, he didn't rush on his journey. He spent his days leveling up by fighting monsters along the way and his nights drinking and singing, which was quite carefree and pleasant.

Unfortunately, Qingchan was not there; only Ao Run was with her.

Lost in thought, a sudden, cold touch on his feet interrupted his thoughts. Turning around, he saw Ao Run crawling towards him, drunk, holding a wine jar in one paw and shaking it, saying indistinctly:

"Master, another jar, please."

"Damn, how come you drank that fast?"

"You drank all my wine."

It's really speechless. I don't know when Yitiaolong turned into a big drunkard. He can finish a jar of wine weighing over a hundred pounds in just a few gulps, even faster than me. There's definitely no more wine left. Even if she drinks as much as she wants, he can't brew enough to keep up with the demand.

He twisted her up and stuffed her into the Zhenhai Pearl. Su Yu lay down on the deck to rest, letting the flying boat move forward automatically.

We continued on our journey, unaware of how much time had passed.

A month and a half later, Su Yu had already left Wan Du Island and entered the depths of the sea.

The deeper you go into the ocean, the fewer people you see. It takes a long time to spot other players. Those who can venture this deep are mostly elite teams or experts. Every now and then, you can see streaks of light flying quickly through the sky; those are the skills of wandering immortals.

Similarly, the deeper you go into the sea, the fewer islands there are, and you often have to fly for a long time before you can see an island.

Most of the islands are uninhabited, and many islands are quite large and teeming with spirits and monsters, but there are not many people on them.

Su Yu knew that this was because the monsters in the deep sea were too high-level, making it unsuitable for ordinary players to level up, and guilds wouldn't set up their headquarters in such places.

These places are teeming with monsters, and because there are no players to kill them, they fight each other in a crowded manner, resulting in monsters of extremely high levels.

Su Yu would stop at each place they visited and plow the land back and forth with Ao Run.

He is now extremely powerful; even without transforming into a dragon, his combat strength alone surpasses that of an ordinary rogue immortal.

One innate water mine can basically wipe out 70-80% of the enemy; only the BOSS can withstand it.

Most bosses can't even beat Ao Run, so they're practically no challenge.

I didn't gain much experience in killing, but I did accumulate a lot of skill.

It's worth mentioning that Ao Run's level was already very high at this time. He was level 160 a year ago, and later he was assigned to the guild to help people level up every day. Now his level has reached 168.

In other words, the higher the level, the harder it is to level up. If nothing unexpected happens, it will probably take ten years to reach level 32.

Even with the Sea-Suppressing Pearl providing a massive amount of spiritual energy, it would only be half the amount needed to level up, and it would take at least five more years to reach level 199.

Reaching level 199 is just the beginning; one must prepare for the tribulation to come.

Dragon Clan Tribulation
Putting everything else aside, at the very least we need to prepare a few defensive magical artifacts for her, and then enhance her dragon bloodline.

Magical artifacts aren't that important. Demonic beasts and divine beasts mainly rely on one's own physical strength to withstand them, and physical strength depends on bloodline. If she can upgrade her great divine power, the Nine Transformations Dragon Scripture, by two more levels before the tribulation, reaching the seventh level, she can upgrade the template to the legendary level.

The legendary template of the true dragon is far more powerful than the same type of monster, and the success rate of transcending the tribulation is at least 90%.

The prerequisite is that your luck isn't too bad; if you encounter one of the strongest types of heavenly tribulations...
The ways to upgrade the True Dragon template are either to refine a higher-level True Dragon bloodline, to receive the power of Heaven, or to successfully overcome the Heavenly Tribulation.

The peerless template True Dragon has survived two heavenly tribulations and is 100% guaranteed to be promoted to the legendary template.

If a legendary dragon survives two tribulations, it has a certain probability of being promoted to a mythical template.

Forget about heavenly tribulations; we've already survived them, so what's the point of talking about them?

It's difficult to infuse the power of the Heavenly Dao. Where can we find a way to infuse the power of the Heavenly Dao?

The most reliable way is still to obtain a higher level of true dragon bloodline.

However, Ao Run had a fourth option: to enhance his Great Divine Power, the Nine Transformations Dragon Technique, and purify the True Dragon Bloodline.

Thinking of this, Su Yu reached out and beckoned Ao Run. The turquoise dragon, as thick as an arm, obediently nestled in his arms and let him stroke it. The cool, icy touch was still so comfortable.

"From now on, half of all the cultivation points and Taoist cultivation you gain will be added to the Nine Transformations Dragon Scripture."

Ao Run looked up, her eyes clear, and could only nod.

Two months later, Su Yu had left the waters around Blue Mountain Island and arrived at the endless ocean where it meets other islands.

We are now more than 30 million kilometers away from Blue Mountain Island. We have not seen any people along the way. The occasional immortal masters we used to see are now hard to find. More than ten days have passed since we last saw them.

The seawater here is so deep it's almost black, so deep it's terrifying. The monsters that surface are all over level 100, and you can often see enormous monsters emerging from the water.

The area is full of monsters that are over 200 levels, which are rarely seen near the coast. Occasionally, you can even see super behemoths that are as big as islands and are over 300 levels high.

At this point, Su Yu dared not go into the sea to level up, not even with Ao Run around. He focused on traveling.

I dare not use the innate water escape technique, as it is too fast and easily veers off course.

To speed things up, Su Yu expended a great deal of cultivation points and power to upgrade the Xuan Ting Spiritual Light Escape Technique to the third level.

Reaching the second level requires 20 billion experience points and 2000 cultivation points.

Reaching the third level requires 100 billion experience points and 10000 points of cultivation, which can increase one's own Qi-controlling flight speed by 500%.

His current basic speed of flying with his Qi is 7000 kilometers per hour. 500% of that is 35000 kilometers per hour. If he flies non-stop, he can travel 84 kilometers a day and 2500 million kilometers a month.

According to my master, that place is hundreds of millions of kilometers away from Blue Mountain Island.

"Well, even if we travel at full speed, it will still take three or four months to get there."

However, this is just a theoretical value; it's impossible for him to run around for months without sleep.

Su Yu wasn't in a hurry. He would run for twenty hours every day, and spend the rest of the time resting in Zhenhai Pearl, brewing wine, practicing swordsmanship, and spending time with Canghai. What should have been a tedious journey was made to feel like he was living like an immortal, and he didn't find it boring at all.

A streak of light flashed through the void, traveling at lightning speed.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration stopped, revealing a figure—it was Su Yu. He looked down at the dark, deep sea with a surprised expression, where a familiar giant wooden ship was gathering monsters and leveling up.

"Have we arrived at our destination?"
