Cultivation: But Not a Game

Chapter 594: Chapter 357: Monster Locking Pool, Golden Immortal Seal (3)

"Can the Palace Master recognize this seal? Is it the former seal of the Star Palace?"

This Chaos Gate is opened within chaos, and behind it lies the Primordial Spirit of Xing Palace’s Palace Master, Fang Hong, nurtured within the chaos.

A weak yet inherently powerful will emerged, and Fang Hong’s voice sounded faintly:

"This isn’t the seal of this palace, but the power contained within the seal is familiar to this palace. It’s the handiwork of the East King of the Wuding Immortal Dynasty!"

"The East King?"

"Indeed, Wuding Immortal Dynasty has two Golden Immortals, one is the Sovereign and the other is sealed as the East King, imitating the ancient Celestial Court’s Demon Emperor and East Emperor Taiyi."

"Quite audacious."

Su Yu chuckled softly, his gaze fixed on the seal as he said:

"This place is right beside Fallen Star Island. Is it possible that the seal is for the former cultivators of Star Palace?"

Fang Hong pondered briefly, somewhat uncertainly saying:

"Logically, it’s possible, but besides me, there’s no one in the Star Palace worthy of being sealed by a Golden Immortal."

Su Yu immediately asked:

"Can you open this seal?"

Fang Hong shook his head and replied:

"No."

Su Yu was puzzled:

"This seal has aged hundreds of thousands of years, and it’s incomplete, with its power greatly depleted. Surely the remaining defense can be undone by your abilities?"

Fang Hong nodded and said:

"Speaking solely of the seal, I indeed can open it, but if I act, I will be detected by the East King."

Su Yu’s eyes widened in shock:

"The East King isn’t dead?"

"Of course he’s not dead. My Primordial Spirit has been worn down by the seal for two hundred thousand years and hasn’t perished. How could he simply fall unless a Da Luo takes action or there’s a high-grade innate spiritual treasure for killing? Otherwise, a Golden Immortal cannot kill another Golden Immortal."

Hearing Fang Hong’s tone of complete certainty, Su Yu was left speechless.

At this moment, he had a new understanding of the formidable strength of Golden Immortals. Their immortality is indeed not exaggerated.

Though the Wuding Ancient Country was annihilated long ago, he had thought that the Sovereign and National Guardian Golden Immortal should have perished with the kingdom. Yet, it turns out they are still alive.

"Alright, let me handle it myself then."

If he can’t act, then he will proceed himself; after all, he has the ability to break the seal.

Just as Fang Hong mentioned, the power within the seal has been worn away over millions of years, and the remaining mana is improbable to withstand him.

After dismissing his followers, Su Yu revealed his four-headed and eight-armed demon god true body, clutching the Chaos Pearl and fiercely striking it against the seal.

The two divine blades slashed violently, while the other five arms were brandished barehanded, pounding relentlessly. The seal continuously rippled, and the defense was steadily consumed.

Several unascended Celestial Spirit Demon-slaying Sabers and the Sun-shooting divine artifacts were left unused, still nurtured.

For two reasons.

One reason is that as his power increases, especially after becoming Immortal, the power of Tier Ten Treasures adjusts based on realm.

For example, the power of a Tier Ten Celestial Spirit Demon-slaying Saber is 5 million physical attack +1000% magic damage bonus. Below the Celestial Immortal realm, its power can be fully unleashed. But upon becoming Immortal, the corresponding treasure becomes an Immortal Treasure, which is a Spiritual Treasure, and the power of Tier Ten Treasures is diminished when wielded by a Celestial Immortal.

Now when he transforms into the Chaos Demon God true body and wields the Tier Ten Celestial Spirit Demon-slaying Saber, its power becomes 5 million physical attack +500% magic damage bonus; the magic damage bonus is reduced directly by half.

Of course, despite the reduced power, it remains significant. With his current magic damage of over 100 million, a single slash reaches a power of 500 million.

But then another issue arises.

That is, most Tier Ten Treasures lack sufficient strength and durability to withstand the frenzied collisions of the Immortal level, let alone the formidable power of Su Yu transformed into the Chaos Demon God true body. Wielding his strength against enemies of the same tier, Tier Ten Treasures would be shattered after a few strikes.

So now he either uses genuine Spiritual Treasures or fights barehanded.

Moreover, with his strength sufficiently powerful, his barehanded prowess exceeds that of Low-grade Spiritual Treasures.

Of course, this refers to weapons, with treasures counted separately.

Treasures don’t require direct confrontation. Even with half-diminished power, they can still be used. The majority of non-Body Refining Stream Celestial Immortals continue using Tier Ten Treasures before refining Spiritual Treasures.

With his Body Refining strength comparable to a Profound Immortal, he launched a frenzied barrage of thousands of punches until he barely felt the seal’s barrier thinning.

"Golden immortality, it’s too formidable."

This isn’t about the seal’s defense being in the trillions, but rather about the laws and divine techniques wielded by Golden Immortals being overwhelmingly strong, with damage reduction beyond imagination. Plus, the seal can absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth, possessing immense recovery speed—typically, a Profound Immortal’s attack doesn’t surpass the recovery rate.

Without pause, relentlessly striking for nearly seven days and nights, the seal’s barrier was worn down to the point of near transparency, leaving only a thin layer.

Then Su Yu opened the gate, summoning the four women of Xuanyue.

"Form the array!"

The four women manifested their true bodies, standing in all directions, forming the Four Symbols Formation to seal the Demon Suppression Pool exit, and only then did Su Yu fiercely strike with the Chaos Pearl.

"Boom!"

The final layer of the seal’s barrier was shattered, revealing yet another layer of seal within.

However, this seal wasn’t like the outer one; its aura was somewhat familiar.

Su Yu opened the Chaos Gate again, barely speaking before Fang Hong’s voice emerged:

"This seal was laid by me. Inside should be a disciple of Xing Palace, although I’m uncertain which one."

He sighed lightly, pointing with a finger condensed from chaotic qi, emitting an invisible ripple that spread out, causing the seal’s glyphs to burn into light and vanish. The inner seal parted, revealing a passage.

Then, there was nothing, as nothing came rushing forth.
