Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 62 - 30: Entering the Secret Realm, Swordsmanship Expert
The entrance to the secret realm is a massive vortex of Mana, densely packed runes connected in chains to lock the vortex and prevent Mana from leaking out of the secret realm.
The three major guilds have gathered outside the vortex of the secret realm, with three hundred new recruits from each guild standing behind the senior members.
The leaders are scheming at the front, while the many newcomers are observing each other.
Some are eager to try, others with serious expressions, and some are nervous and uneasy, all sorts of reactions.
"Look at that."
Su Yu, following He Shoucheng’s finger, saw a young man with two Sword Boxes on his back at the front of the Sword Spirit Pavilion team, looking at them with a contemptuous smile. The white-haired man beside him made a throat-cutting gesture with his hand.
"So arrogant, does anyone recognize him?"
"His name is Lan Feiyu, the second in the Sword Spirit Pavilion this year, and he is very strong."
"So arrogant, let’s see how he looks later."
Everyone was chattering, and the tension of the upcoming event eased a lot.
They didn’t have to wait long. After the leaders of the three guilds finished speaking, the entrance to the secret realm was opened, and everyone received a Teleportation Command Talisman and started entering one by one.
At this moment, Su Yu heard Chu Xinyue’s voice in his ear:
"The secret realm was already looted once last night, but it was a rough harvest; there might still be hidden treasures. Pay attention when you enter."
"Additionally, try to kill at least 10 people and survive. Your performance is directly related to your evaluation within the guild, which will affect your future benefits, including the subsidies you’ll receive from the Immortal Sect Guild if you join them."
"I got it."
Before the vortex, opening his protective aura, he leaped into it, and instantly it felt like passing through a membrane and entering another space.
With a flash before his eyes, he transitioned from the riverbed of the Yuanjiang River to a small mountain top.
"Huh? It’s not a fixed location?"
Looking around, there was no one else in sight.
This meant that the team set up with He Shoucheng couldn’t form.
Looking up at the sky, the sky was very blue, but it was full of cracks like shattered glass, indicating that the space of the secret realm was already in a broken state and could collapse at any moment.
Looking down, there were small mountains of two to three hundred meters high in every direction, with heights so similar that no reference could be made, and there were no signs of human activity.
Thinking about it, he opened his contacts and sent a message to He Shoucheng:
"Where are you?"
"I don’t know, I’m on a small hill, surrounded by identical hills, and I don’t know my location yet."
"Then how do we rendezvous?"
Before He Shoucheng could respond, Su Yu suddenly felt the back of his head tingling, and swiftly turned around to see a flash of blue sword light approaching him.
He immediately drew the Sun Concealing Sword, a blazing white sword light accurately striking the blue sword light. With a ’clang,’ the white and blue flying swords collided, sending sparks flying. The blue sword light paused, and the white sword light crossed with the blue sword light, making a series of crisp clashes, causing the blue sword light to whimper and be deflected.
It was only then that Su Yu noticed a figure hidden in the lush forest of another small mountain behind him, looking surprised and preparing to retrieve the flying sword and flee.
"Trying to run after an ambush?"
Su Yu soared into the air in pursuit, and the Sun Concealing Flying Sword instantly surged, circling around him and making the protective Treasure Light shimmer violently.
Realizing he couldn’t outrun him, the ambusher decisively summoned his flying sword again to parry the Sun Concealing Sword. However, in the next second, an unimaginable force knocked his flying sword away.
"It’s over!"
The Sun Concealing Sword Light wove back and forth, striking his Protective Treasure, and with his quickest reaction, he raised his protective aura to block seamlessly.
But that was just a temporary respite; the sword light circled again, forcibly breaching the protective aura, and with another turn, the man was gone.
"One down!"
The sword light swept up the condensed treasure light orb, revealing a Mid-grade Rejuvenation Elixir and a Great Transposition Divine Talisman.
"Not my lucky day."
Su Yu shook his head, stored the items in his storage space, and looked around to find himself in a hilly area, filled with short peaks.
These hills were surrounded by valleys, teeming with Spiritual Qi, turning into a faint spiritual mist and growing full of Spiritual Medicine.
However, unknown for how many years, unattended, the Spiritual Medicine grew wildly, in a mess.
Moreover, it seemed there were no monsters inside the secret realm; after scanning around, he only found some insects.
Seeing no one around, Su Yu jumped into the valley, preparing to dig up some Spiritual Medicine.
Passing through the thin mist, he saw a small river in the valley, the water clear and with fish swimming in it, but not monsters. Both banks of the river were densely vegetated, but mixed with weeds and Spiritual Medicine.
"This is bad!"
Su Yu suddenly realized he couldn’t recognize many types of Spiritual Medicine.
"This is awkward."
Scanning with his eyes, he could recognize some as Spiritual Medicine, as they were quite different from weeds. But the problem was he didn’t know what species many Spiritual Medicines were.
"Forget it, let’s just hunt people."
He soared up again to the mountain top, observed the direction for a while, then flew straight to another small mountain.
Soon, he arrived at another mountaintop and saw a stranger cultivator gathering herbs in the valley below. He couldn’t tell if he was from the Sword Spirit Pavilion or the Thunder Eagle Association.
The man was very alert, immediately noticing Su Yu appearing on the mountain top, quickly took off a string of red beads from his wrist, and tossed them.
The beads expanded and scattered in mid-air, flames rising to form large flaming meteors as big as round tables descending.
Then he summoned a flaming red feather fan, waved it lightly, and a fire bird with a wingspan of ten meters quickly condensed and swooped over.
Su Yu immediately rose into the air, noticing the meteor also adjusting direction to continue striking.
"It has homing ability!"
He flipped his hand, holding the Sun Concealing Sword, infused it with Mana, and the sword light extended nearly a meter, grabbing the flying sword and throwing it, the sword light piercing through the air hitting the meteor.
