Cultivation: But Not a Game

Chapter 454 - 317: New Grotto Heaven Fragment, Sky Azure Bull Python

"Time Domain!"

He activated his ultimate move without hesitation, as the Immortal’s shadow slowed rapidly. However, the power of the Immortal Talisman had already been fully activated, and the immortal who crafted this talisman was obviously stronger than the previous one. Even the Time Domain couldn’t immediately stop it, as the Immortal’s finger slowly and steadily pointed towards Su Yu.

But...

A flash of insight appeared in Su Yu’s eyes, as he immediately discovered a Golden Core cultivator from the Thunder Tribe hidden behind a nearby mountain, and with a swift motion, he soared into the sky, distancing himself from the approaching Immortal’s finger. He pointed a finger and activated the Divine Techniques of Time:

"Time Stasis!"

The Thunder Tribe cultivator who was activating the Immortal Talisman was immediately frozen by the Power of Time, and then Su Yu’s Thunderous Force struck.

Eleven seconds later, as the Power of Time resumed its flow, the figure was shattered into pieces.

The Power of Time, terrifying indeed!

Eight days later, Su Yu swept through the entire Grotto Heaven fragment with his formidable strength.

He exterminated over one thousand seven hundred spirit monsters with levels over two hundred, and unearthed no fewer than a hundred varieties of over four thousand Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures at once, with a total value of at least one thousand immortal coins.

"Not bad, not bad."

"Let’s move to another Grotto Heaven fragment and continue."

Su Yu casually took out a jug of Jade Nectar and drank a mouthful, and as he exited the Grotto Heaven fragment, he was momentarily stunned. Instinctively, he summoned the Cyan Cloud Cover before swallowing the fine wine.

"Why are there so many people?"

In the void outside the Grotto Heaven fragment, more than twenty people were scattered according to their races, with as few as four and as many as eight.

Eight Celestial Eye People, seven Horned Demon People, five humans, and four Thunder Tribe members.

Among them were a few familiar faces, including the five-person team led by Li Wenbin that he had encountered earlier at Eagle’s Beak. They, too, spotted Su Yu, who had just emerged from the Grotto Heaven fragment, and Li Wenbin was taken aback, immediately sending a telepathic message:

"Come over here quickly."

Su Yu immediately flew over to join them.

"What are you doing here?"

"Gathering spiritual medicine."

Li Wenbin said in a deep voice:

"You should leave here now to avoid getting caught up in what’s coming."

Su Yu glanced at the other three races and asked in a low voice:

"Why is everyone gathering here?"

Li Wenbin pointed to the direction of the massive peak from which Su Yu had emerged and said:

"Someone discovered a new Grotto Heaven fragment about to take shape."

Su Yu immediately looked in the direction he pointed and saw a space vortex surging violently inside a hollow area on the mountainside.

"Is this the exit of the Grotto Heaven fragment?"

Shao Fei nodded and said:

"Yes, but it hasn’t fully formed yet. The Grotto Heaven fragment is connecting with the main world, and it will only stabilize once it’s fully connected with the spatial crystal wall of the main world."

Su Yu immediately realized something and said in surprise:

"Are you saying this Grotto Heaven fragment is a piece of the lost Wuding Grotto Heaven fragment, now returning to the main world? That’s incredible!"

Li Wenbin nodded:

"Though it’s incredible, it’s true."

Su Yu’s interest was piqued, and he was eager to try:

"I’ve heard there might still be remnants of the Wuding Ancient Country’s heritage inside these lost Grotto Heaven fragments."

Li Wenbin replied in frustration:

"Don’t even think about it. With so many experts here, we can barely protect ourselves, let alone help you."

Su Yu chuckled and said:

"It’s alright. I can take care of myself."

Hearing this, Li Wenbin was somewhat annoyed:

"Don’t think just because you have some Immortal Talisman or life-saving cards that you are safe. Every cultivator here in the Immortal Realm carries Immortal Talismans and life-saving cards. You’re only at Foundation Establishment level, in a place like this..."

"Hold on."

Su Yu raised a hand to interrupt Li Wenbin, speaking earnestly:

"First, thank you for your concern. Then, I want to tell you that I am indeed very strong. Even typical Earth Immortals aren’t my match."

Su Yu looked at them with a very serious expression. The others exchanged glances, and finally, Li Wenbin said:

"Since you insist, we won’t try to persuade you otherwise. Just be careful."

"Thank you!"

Su Yu clasped his fists in respect.

Then followed the waiting period for the Grotto Heaven fragment’s entrance and exit to fully form.

While waiting, the group gathered in a circle, and Tan Yum, the only female player among them, specifically reminded Su Yu:

"Most of the Grotto Heaven fragments in this area produce various herbs. They used to be the medicinal gardens of the Wuding Ancient Country. The new fragment appearing in this area should also be part of that former medicinal garden."

"This Grotto Heaven fragment fell into the void and has been lost for untold ages. If there is spiritual medicine within that has survived this long, its grade must be high, at least tier four Immortal Medicine. There might even be tier five Immortal Medicine, or possibly tier six Immortal Medicine or Spirit Roots."

"If you’re lucky enough to find something that can enhance cultivation, you might instantly gain dozens of levels."

She looked at Su Yu and said:

"If we find tier six or higher Immortal Medicine or Spirit Roots, the other races will certainly compete for it. We need to unite to secure it, and then distribute it based on contributions upon returning."

Su Yu nodded:

"Contribution-based distribution, no problem."

At this point, Li Wenbin added:

"Of course, this rule applies only to Immortal Medicines acquired through cooperation. Anything obtained through individual effort belongs entirely to the person who acquired it."

Su Yu smiled and nodded:

"Very reasonable."

Just as they finished speaking, the six of them sensed something and all turned to see a ray of Spiritual Light approaching quickly. Soon, they saw a luxurious, unidentified Flying Ship stopping nearby.

Their expressions changed. Onboard were six Horned Demon People.

There were already seven Horned Demon People present, and with these six more, there were thirteen in total, nearly outnumbering the other three races combined, which altogether had only eighteen participants.
