Cultivation: But Not a Game

Chapter 649: Chapter 372: The East King’s Fragmented Soul, The Celestial Eye People’s Mad Plan (Part 2)

As soon as he entered, a celestial soldier exclaimed:

"Wow, such pure spiritual Qi!"

He opened his mouth and inhaled sharply, the surrounding spiritual mist surged towards him like a tide.

"Roar!"

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the celestial soldier swiftly transformed into his true form, a colossal azure-horned bull several kilometers long.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

The roars of beasts echoed one after another, with the other nineteen celestial soldiers also letting out long cries and revealing their true forms, greedily absorbing the pure innate spiritual Qi of the land.

The quality of innate spiritual Qi is a hundred times that of acquired spiritual Qi; one breath is equivalent to several days of cultivation in the lower realms.

At this moment, the chaos realm resembled the ancient wilderness, teeming with abundant spiritual Qi, with few people drawing from it; they felt as if they had fallen into a honeypot, instantly forgetting everything else, and sprawled out to continuously absorb the spiritual Qi.

Su Yu saw their reaction and smiled slightly, then turned around to the world’s crystal wall, thrusting his arms into the wall forcefully, tearing a crack open, and his figure flickered into light, disappearing into the crack.

"Oh no, this isn’t a piece of Grotto Heaven."

........

Su Yu couldn’t remember when he last felt so powerless.

Darkness, void, the world filled with an indescribable force, his once proud mana and powerful Demon God true form, including the mighty Law of Time, were all now unusable.

It all seemed to vanish, like a dream.

But the chaos pearl suspended in his sea of consciousness, shining like the sun, clearly indicated he was not dreaming; upon entering what he thought was the crucial fragment of Wuding Grotto Heaven but wasn’t, a world crystal wall, he was plunged into this state.

"There’s actually a new world derived from chaos here!"

"That shouldn’t be the case."

Although Su Yu didn’t fully understand the world, he knew other worlds derived from chaos existed within chaos, whereas this place was still technically at the edge of the Earth Immortal realm; it shouldn’t be possible to derive a new world.

"Unless it was a realm world opened by a Golden Immortal or higher being."

"But does this resemble such a realm?"

"Hmm, hard to say."

He recalled that Wuding Grotto Heaven was the core of the Wuding Immortal Country; according to Star Master Fang Hong, the East King was sealed here...

"Huh? Could this be where the East King is sealed?"

"Is it possible?"

"Only beings above Golden Immortal have the ability to forcibly seal their mana."

"But what about the East King?"

"Just sealed me, and nothing else?"

Unable to move, Su Yu’s thoughts wandered aimlessly, but no matter how he sensed his surroundings, he could feel nothing and couldn’t move.

However, he wasn’t panicked because he could still sense the existence of the chaos pearl, and knew he could activate it with a thought.

In addition, he could feel the chaos bell hammer, but the other top-grade Spiritual Treasure, Cyan Cloud Cover, was beyond perception.

This meant with a thought, he could break the unknown entrapment.

But he felt this world was quite magical, and despite his unfavorable situation, it wasn’t desperate enough to use his trump card.

Darkness.

Silence.

Void.

These were the initial sensations it gave him, quietly floating in this dark space, without dependence, soundlessly.

At first, his mind spun vigorously, but as time passed without any movement, a trace of irritation rose.

Yet these negative emotions promptly vanished as quickly as they surfaced.

"This place is quite interesting."

Su Yu remained clear-minded, steadfastly observing the world.

Time flowed like water, years passed like a shuttle.

In this extreme tranquility, after an indeterminate time, Su Yu’s formidable perception faintly detected an almost imperceptible will.

He concentrated fully, the illusory will seemed to notice him, rapidly becoming clear....

"Buzz!"

It was as if some great existence finally observed this small fry like him, the next moment an incredibly vast will descended, crashing abruptly into his purple mansion’s sea of consciousness.

"I am the East King, Immortal Golden Immortal, assist me in my rebirth, and you will gain eternal life!"

"Oh damn!"

Su Yu was startled; as the enormous consciousness surged into his sea of consciousness, he instantly comprehended the entire sequence of events.

Without a word, he linked the chaos bell hammer, a hammer of mysterious yellow color appeared out of thin air in this void space, fiercely striking down.

"Boom!"

A faint bell sound echoed through the heavens and earth, the encompassing darkness and void shattered to pieces, a spiritual light blossomed from the darkness.

Immediately regaining his senses, Su Yu first sacrificed the Cyan Cloud Cover to shield against the encroaching darkness from all directions, then struck the chaos bell hammer again to break the darkness and find the spiritual light that burst out earlier, striding towards it.

"Boom rumble!"

Endless darkness began to tremble, as though some colossal entity was awakening, causing the heavens and earth to tremble violently.

"What’s happening?"

Within this dark world floated over a million celestial eye people of varying levels, the lowest being Golden Core Earth Immortal level, while the highest had already become immortals, and there was more than one among them who were True Immortals, with the most powerful being a Profound Immortal celestial eye person standing in the darkness.

If Su Yu were here, he would be shocked to discover the aura of this celestial eye person Profound Immortal far exceeded that of a normal Profound Immortal, with a hint of golden nature faintly appearing, being one of the six Profound Immortal marshals of the celestial eye tribe, Yu Yue.

Sensing the tremors of this world, the celestial eye person Profound Immortal Yu Yue’s eyes snapped open, full of astonishment and uncertainty.

"What’s happening? Why is the East King’s remnant soul acting up?"

Someone in the channel asked:

"Could it have detected our actions?"

"Impossible, it’s just a remnant soul, how could it detect Daluo’s power."

"I know what’s happening."

"Speak!"

"I saw the Celestial Court’s patrol immortal ship passing by when I sent someone over earlier, could it be that the patrol celestial soldier also entered and affected the East King’s remnant soul’s judgment?"

"Hmm, that’s possible."

Yu Yue pondered briefly and relaxed, saying:

"If it’s just a patrol celestial soldier, it wouldn’t pose a significant problem, the anomaly was likely triggered by their dying struggle, at most a True Immortal, without same-level power to resist the devouring by the East King’s remnant soul."

"Everyone, continue operating the secret skill to disrupt the Golden Immortal’s remnant soul, assist me in refining this Golden Immortal’s remnant soul."

"Upon success, will be the day our celestial eye tribe sweeps across other races."

In the channel, a million voices responded in unison:

"Following the marshal’s order!"

With the sound subsiding, the dark void space returned to stillness.

Meanwhile, Su Yu had already escaped.

Two consecutive strikes from the chaos bell hammer carved out a gap, and he seized the moment to break through, rushing tens of thousands of kilometers before stopping.

"So damn audacious."

Su Yu’s gaze swept towards the three celestial eye people’s void battleships docked at the edge of the world’s crystal wall, his expression shocked.

In just that brief contact, he fully understood what was happening.

Simply put, the East King of Wuding Immortal Dynasty’s purple mansion merged with a top-grade Spiritual Treasure, forming this unique domain to accommodate the Golden Immortal’s remnant soul.

But for some reason, it was discovered by the celestial eye people, who used some unknown method to try and refine the East King’s remnant soul.

Refining the Primordial Spirit of a Golden Immortal with a Profound Immortal, it sounds fantastical, but it was happening before his eyes.

Su Yu didn’t know what method they used, but the Golden Immortal’s Primordial Spirit was partially refined, even the East King’s will was incomplete, confused, in the same state as the Star Master a while ago.

But the East King’s luck was far inferior to the Star Master’s; the Star Master was fortunate to encounter Su Yu, not only to have his body reshaped and revived, but also to have a chance to further progress into a Daluo Golden Immortal.

While the East King encountered a group of ambitious individuals attempting a move akin to a snake swallowing a dragon, refining the remnant soul.

"Judging by their appearance, they might succeed."

Such actions are very clear, either achievable or completely not, if attempted, inevitable death follows.

And the celestial eye tribe....

Appear to be succeeding in their plan; they are indeed refining the Golden Immortal’s remnant soul, which means.....

"According to intelligence collected within the tribe, currently none of the races have produced a Golden Immortal, the strongest force among races is Profound Immortals, distinguished merely by quantity, none have absolute superiority."

"But if the celestial eye tribe can birth a Golden Immortal, they would have a qualitative advantage over other races, effortlessly crushing any civilization."

Except for the Human Race, Su Yu possesses a Star Master with Golden Immortal level combat power, utterly unfearful of the celestial eye tribe.

Yet being unafraid is one matter, watching the celestial eye tribe birth a Golden Immortal is another.

"No, I must find a way to thwart their plan."
