Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 306 - 216: Eight Beauties Harmony Painting, Yin-Yang Divine Mirror
Half an hour later, Lu Sheng appeared in the Immortal Banner once again.
At this point, he was already frantic, as soon as he revived, he activated his treasure and bombarded the outside.
Three minutes later, he was slain again.
"The lifespan limit of the Qi Refining stage is 300 years. For a genius like him, his lifespan must be maxed out. Now, he has already lost 105 years. Adding his own age, it’s estimated to be 130 years gone. He will need four more times to completely kill him."
Su Yu murmured, casually waved a Ten Thousand Transformations Divine Thunder, and blasted the newly revived Lu Sheng away.
At this moment, Lu Sheng had ideas but couldn’t do anything about Su Yu, as he wouldn’t show himself, so the Yin-Yang Divine Mirror was useless, and he could only passively take hits, being killed once every few minutes.
Time after time, he was slain by the immortal fire, losing 50 years of lifespan each time, growing increasingly older with each revival. By the fifth time he revived, his hair was already completely white, and his face was full of wrinkles.
"I cannot die!"
"I don’t want to die, I am a genius, I still have to become a true disciple, how can I die."
His hands tremble, he begs desperately:
"Spare me, I beg you, spare me."
Su Yu ignored his pleas for mercy, resolutely intent on killing him, to get the Yin-Yang Divine Mirror.
No grudges or hatred, only different camps.
The struggle between light and dark has a long history, the two factions have been around for hundreds of thousands of years, countless disciples have been mutually killed, it is long beyond personal grievances, now killing the opponent’s disciples requires no reason, kill them and that’s it. It’s considered as demon subjugation and would be praised by the sect, no one would think it’s excessive.
Even if completely killed, it would be because both signed a life-and-death agreement, willingly fighting. If one loses, it’s because they are not as skilled, gaining no sympathy, and certainly no pleas for mercy.
Unless one can offer a high enough price for their life, otherwise dead is dead.
The audience seats were quiet, although the arena only showed a side burning Immortal Banner, neither Su Yu nor Lu Sheng could be seen, nobody showed impatience, everyone was patiently waiting.
Time passed, unconsciously several hours went by, inside the Immortal Banner, Su Yu emerged from the immortal fire, his gaze fixed tightly on the center of the Immortal Banner, as the unexpected final revival of Lu Sheng ensued.
Flowing light gathered, the extremely aged Lu Sheng lagged in reaction, upon seeing Su Yu decisively use all his strength to raise the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror, but it appeared exceedingly slow to Su Yu.
His figure then faded and disappeared, a faint voice resonating from the immortal fire:
"Remember, in the next life, do not join the Demon Sect!"
The immortal fire surged and expanded, instantly engulfing him.
Just one minute and fifteen seconds, a dazzling spiritual light arose within the immortal fire and shot through the center of the Immortal Banner, instantly followed by a gray light soaring up and smashing heavily onto the inner wall of the Immortal Banner.
Su Yu had a realization, Lu Sheng had died completely.
The towering spiritual light was the cultivation points and Dao progress intercepted by the Nine-Ring Immortal Banner from Lu Sheng’s death, whereas that thunderous gray light was the Yin-Yang Divine Mirror.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The Divine Mirror repeatedly exploded, causing turbulent airwaves inside the Immortal Banner, yet the Immortal Banner stood firm like a mountain, not even shaking.
After three hits, the Divine Mirror stopped, a clear light flashed and transformed into the hologram of an imposing middle-aged man, he scrutinized Su Yu, sternly said:
"Lu Sheng was defeated by you due to his inadequate abilities. This Yin-Yang Divine Mirror is the treasure of this sect, release its bindings immediately, or do not blame me for bullying the small!"
Su Yu remained fearless facing what was clearly a projection of a prominent figure from the Yin Yang Demon Sect, and sternly replied:
"Since he fought using this treasure, it becomes my spoils upon his defeat."
The middle-aged man’s face darkened, he shouted angrily:
"Arrogant!"
The Divine Mirror spun, a white light shot over.
Su Yu reached out, summoned a fire god general to shield him. The white light swept across, fixing the flame god general in place, Su Yu emerged from behind and vanished into the immortal fire.
The middle-aged man immediately bombarded with the Divine Mirror, the flame god general shattered in an instant, beams of gray light swept back and forth inside the Immortal Banner, yet unable to touch Su Yu.
He stood on a relief sculpture within the inner wall of the Immortal Banner, not paying attention to the chaos within the Immortal Banner.
The middle-aged man was but a remnant will left by the true owner of the Yin-Yang Divine Mirror; whether Su Yu refined through the Immortal Banner, or actively surfaced and activated the Yin-Yang Divine Mirror, the remnant would soon exhaust its power and disappear.
With a motion of his hand, the streams of light, composing the 20% cultivation points and Dao progress intercepted from Lu Sheng’s demise, flew into his palm. He opened the experience pool, his eyes lit up immediately.
A total of 32.2 billion killing experience points and 23,500 Dao progress points.
This implied that he had consumed a total of 1,610 billion various experience points and 117,500 Dao progress points in his cultivation to this point.
"Not bad, not bad, can substantially enhance once again."
Closing the experience pool, he gazed upon the spoils light sphere accumulated, containing nine items, with five of them being valuable.
They are the Tier Eight refined treasure Five Demon Seals, a set of twelve Tier Seven Yin-Yang Demon-Trapping Banners, an exquisite Tier Eight treasure Eight Beauties Reunion Painting, a pair of refined Tier Seven Demon Sect Yin-Yang Flying Swords, and an Immortal’s Manual (Demon Immortal Version).
No cultivation skill emerged, as Lu Sheng cultivated the Yin Yang Demon Sect’s direct supreme tier demon dao major skill, impossible to explode out.
Five Demon Seals are straightforward, can be used as seals to smash enemies, or summon five demons to battle, the level of summoned demons is determined by the treasure’s owner, with Lu Sheng’s strength summoning demons of level 150, terrifying templates, adept in numerous demon dao major skills.
The twelve Yin-Yang Demon-Trapping Banners can form the Yin-Yang Demon-Trapping Formation, gathering the yin-yang energy to transform into demon soldiers, the set of twelve occupies just one treasure slot.
This thing is of little use in Lü Sheng’s hands, the twenty-four Yin Yang demon heads he refined are much stronger.
The Yin Yang Flying Sword is also of no use, it can either be sold or placed in the guild for use by side branches or Demon Dao members.
The Immortal’s Manual is also useless, this version is for Demon Immortals and is a treasure for Demon Dao cultivators.
The only thing that piqued Su Yu’s interest was the Eight Beauties Reunion Painting.
Eight Beauties Reunion Painting (Tier 8): A rare item, holds a world within itself, containing eight beauties.
World within the Painting: When the Reunion Painting is unfolded, it contains a world of ten miles radius that can house living beings.
True Spirit of Reunion: Using a secret skill, beauties’ primordial spirits are refined into the painting, they cannot leave the hundred miles radius of the painting and are under the control of the owner, current beauties 4/8.
Su Yu picked up the Eight Beauties Reunion Painting and unfolded it, revealing a lifelike landscape painting with mountains, water, bridges, flowing water, as well as pavilions and terraces, featuring four uniquely beautiful women.
His consciousness immersed into the painting, immediately arriving in a world enshrouded by mist, similar to the painting with mountains, water, bridges, flowing water, and pavilions, along with four stunningly beautiful women.
This world within the painting was real, as were the four beautiful women. Su Yu’s gaze fell on each beauty, and their panels immediately popped up.
Cui Yunxian: Level 152, Second-Layer Dao Foundation, Xuanzhen Immortal Sect Core Disciple, trained in the sect-level Heart Skill "Jade Purity Purple Mansion Classic."
Xia Xiaoyue: Level 136, First-Grade Dao Foundation, Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect True Disciple, trained in the supreme Heart Skill "Ten Thousand Laws Celestial Book."
Yue Qingsi: Level 145, Second-Layer Dao Foundation, Nine Heavens Sword Sect Core Disciple, trained in the sect-level Heart Skill "Grand Purity One Breath Mystical Classic."
Yan Qiubai: Level 132, Third-Layer Dao Foundation, Yin Yang Demon Sect Core Disciple, trained in the sect-level "Yin Yang Mixed Origin True Refinement Method."
"???"
"These are not native NPCs but players?"
Su Yu was greatly surprised, scanning the beauties again, confirming they were indeed players, not native NPCs.
He withdrew his gaze from the Eight Beauties Reunion Painting, contemplating the treasure thoughtfully.
"Damn, this thing is a bit tricky."
They are all players, and core disciples of various sects, even one First-Grade Dao Foundation True Disciple. This thing can’t be taken out, what if their friends and family find out...
"Which weirdo crafted this treasure, this is too absurd."
First, eliminate Lü Sheng, he doesn’t have the capability.
Su Yu speculated it was likely obtained by chance, unlikely to be refined by Lü Sheng’s sect. After all, one of the four beauties inside is a Yin Yang Demon Sect Core Disciple, there’s no way they would use their own core disciple for refinement.
The one who crafted this treasure was also a weirdo; these four beauties were not only stunning but highly accomplished in their cultivation, all at least of the superior Dao Foundation level, even a First-Grade Dao Foundation True Disciple among them.
"Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect?"
"This name sounds a bit familiar."
Su Yu pondered for a moment, quickly recalling seeing this name before on the Fallen Star Islands.
"Ranked 31st on the Genius List, Xia Changge of the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal Sect, and they are both surnamed Xia!"
"Damn!"
Su Yu quickly put away the treasure, planning to investigate the situation of these women later after everything settled.
After counting the loot, he looked up at the center of the immortal canopy, noticing the resistance of the Yin Yang Divine Mirror had weakened considerably. He urged the celestial fire to surge forward, accelerating the refining process.
Four minutes later, as the remaining will disappeared, the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror lost its control and fell.
Su Yu reached out to summon back the Yin Yang Divine Mirror, examining the ancient runic symbols inscribed on it, revealing its properties.

Spiritual Connection: This treasure has a spiritual connection, can automatically defend against enemies.
Equip Requirements: Yin Yang Demon Manual, Superior Dao Foundation (Exclusive to Lü Sheng)
"What a powerful treasure."
The attributes introduction is extremely simple yet extremely powerful, including all three moves Lü Sheng previously used.
And this is only in its ninth-tier state, the attributes clearly indicate the Yin Yang Divine Mirror is sealed, with its power in a diminished state, not its complete tenth-tier form.
Because if it were in complete tenth-tier state, its power would be even stronger, but Lü Sheng wouldn’t be able to equip it.
A tier ten treasure must be equipped after establishing a Dao Foundation.
