Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 90 - 43: Powerful Celestial Ghost Transformation
Each increase in level adds +100 to basic power, +100 to spellcasting range, +1 meter to damage radius, and +10 points to mana consumption.
Binghuo Divine Thunder: The power of Binghuo and thunder transformed into Divine Thunder, one of the Five Elements Thunder Skill.
Attributes: Basic power 1000, spellcasting range 1000 meters, damage radius 10 meters, mana consumption 300 points, cooldown 5 seconds.
Each increase in level adds +100 to basic power, +100 to spellcasting range, +1 meter to damage radius, and +10 points to mana consumption.
The derived Thunder Skill level is consistent with the Celestial Ghost Transformation level; at level thirty, the damage is 4000, the spellcasting range is 4000 meters, and the damage radius is 40 meters in diameter, with mana consumption of 700 points and a cooldown of 5 seconds.
After the Golden Finger bonus, the level thirty damage is 8000, the spellcasting range is 8000 meters, and the damage radius is 80 meters in diameter.
The burst is no less than Purple Essence Qi Strength, but Thunder Skill is an area magic.
Under the Golden Finger bonus, his level thirty Celestial Ghost Transformation is equivalent to a level sixty Celestial Ghost Transformation. Its attributes are already extremely powerful and can be put to use now.
Su Yu estimated in his heart, it should not differ much from Lan Yiyi during the last small test, but still not comparable to Ding Lingyu.
With 360,000 Qi and Blood in the Divine General Transformation, he suspects that Ding Lingyu’s Transformation Skill is at least of the Guardian level, two levels higher than the Excellent level, and he doesn’t know where he got it from.
"Still need to get a sixth-grade Flying Sword!"
Closing the panel, Su Yu stood up, changed into the true form of the Celestial Ghost once again with a thought.
He flashed and disappeared from the room, appearing outside. The originally pitch-black underwater transformed into a gray-white color, clearly seeing the underwater spirits and various plants growing on the seabed.
"Turn reality into void!"
The Celestial Ghost turned into a wisp of smoke, drifting towards the nearby Cyan Cold Lotus.
He was like a ghost, his nearly transparent body barely visible in the water, with a concealment effect better than the second layer of the Jiezhi Concealment Skill and the Invisibility Technique.
The smoke drifted nearby, and with a wave of his hand, a surge of Qi Strength flew out, digging out an adequately aged Cyan Cold Lotus along with a large chunk of soil, which he then stored in his inventory.
In the Celestial Ghost form, he couldn’t use any equipment or Magical Treasure, so the storage tools attached to equipment and Magical Treasure couldn’t be used, but the player’s initial 20-slot space was not included in that scope and could be used.
The surrounding underwater spirits had either been killed by Ao Run or scared away, leaving the area empty, allowing him to collect at ease.
This depression was filled with many Cyan Cold Lotus, but only those over a hundred years old were valuable; roughly one in thirty plants met the standard.
Fortunately, there was a substantial quantity, overall quite a lot.
After two hours, he circled the entire depression and gathered all the adequately aged Cyan Cold Lotus, totaling 528 plants, each contributing 1 point to the guild, with a double contribution for newcomers, surpassing a thousand.
After storing the last plant, Su Yu prepared to change locations. No sooner had he flown out of the depression than he saw a level 74 Black Fish Spirit rushing towards him.
"Courting death!"
Su Yu raised his hand, unleashed a Gui Water Divine Thunder, disorienting the Black Fish Spirit.
He charged into the Gui Water elite, clawing the Black Fish Spirit, leaving two large, deep wounds; the thick fish scales cleaved open as easily as tofu.
The enraged Black Fish Spirit turned to bite back, but the nimble Celestial Ghost floated onto its back, pressing down with both claws, sinking his ten fingers into its body and tearing off a massive chunk of flesh with skin.
Too agile, the Black Fish Spirit couldn’t touch him and could only suffer attacks passively.
In less than a minute, the fish body was riddled with holes, chunks of flesh missing here and there, and the thin-scaled belly was forcibly torn open, with entrails spilling out for a miserable death.
The battle over, Su Yu evaluated the recent fight and shook his head:
"The combat power isn’t weak, but the efficiency of farming monsters is too low!"
He could clear a group in one minute with a Flying Sword while in Celestial Ghost form, he had only managed to take down one; the efficiency was too low.
Transforming back to his true form, sword light swept across, engulfing several spirits not far away.
"Returning to my true form, all abilities of Celestial Ghost Transformation are unusable."
A few more sword strokes dispatched the spirits, then called Ao Run over:
"I’m going back. Are you coming with me or staying here?"
"You go first, I’ll return later."
"Alright."
Su Yu summoned the Spirit Fish Shuttle, bursting from the river’s surface, flying straight towards Thousand Feather City.
After a few hours, he returned to the city and immediately turned in the 528 Cyan Cold Lotus along with various minerals and Spiritual Medicines collected, totaling 1126 guild contribution points.
And sold all the miscellaneous spoils, earning a total of 1 gold and 21 silver.
Guild contribution had surpassed five thousand, totaling 5247 points, enough to exchange for the lowest-grade sixth-level Flying Sword.
Carefully reviewing the few sixth-level Flying Swords available for exchange in the guild, he hesitated slightly.
The seven or eight Demon Soldiers and Buddhist Soldiers were not discussed further; they didn’t match his Heart Skill and couldn’t unleash their full power. Of the four available Immortal and Divine Weapons, the one with the best attributes was the Fire Flood Dragon, and an Immortal Soldier, Blue Sparrow.
Fire Flood Dragon (Sixth-Level Flying Sword): Divine Weapon, with a blade forged from Earth Core Melting Iron and Celestial Star Divine Sand, embedding a Fire Flood Dragon god soul within the sword, allowing use of the Fire Flood Dragon’s power.
Attributes: Attack Power 280-340, Attack Speed 220-280, Sword Control Speed 240-290, with an additional 360 points of fire damage, Sword Formulas enhancement of 50%, Property: Jiao Transformation.
Jiao Transformation: Activates the Fire Flood Dragon god soul within the sword, transforming the sword into a Fire Flood Dragon for independent attack.
Blue Sparrow (Sixth-Level Flying Sword): Immortal Soldier, sharp beyond compare, forged from Stardust Meteorite Iron mixed with Cold Iron Essence.
Attributes: Attack Power 260-310, Attack Speed 230-260, Sword Control Speed 240-270, Sword Formulas enhancement of 50%, Property: Armor-Piercing +2, Agility +2.
Armor-Piercing +3: Attacks ignore 20% of target’s defense.
Agility +2: Increases Flying Sword flexibility by 20%.
In the celestial realm, Flying Swords and weapons are categorized as Immortal Soldiers, Divine Soldiers, Buddhist Soldiers, Demon Soldiers, and Evil Soldiers.
From the names, you can tell that Demon and Evil Soldiers are Demon Dao Flying Swords, Demon Soldiers are used by the demon race, Buddhist Soldiers by the Buddhist sect, Immortal Soldiers by the Profound Sect, i.e., Taoist Sect, and Divine Soldiers are universal.
Different Flying Swords and Magical Treasures require corresponding Heart Skills to fully unleash their power. Using incompatible Heart Skills significantly reduces power.
Demon and Evil Soldiers with Demonic Heart Skill and Side Heart Skill can unleash full power; Buddhist and Mystic Heart Skills only unleash 70% power.
Buddhist Soldiers with Buddhist Heart Skill unleash full power; Mystic and Side Heart Skills offer 90% power; Demonic Heart Skills provide only 70% power.
Immortal Soldiers with Mystic and Side Heart Skills unleash full power; Buddhist Heart Skills offer 90% power; Demonic Heart Skills, 70%.
Divine Weapons are universal and can unleash full power with any Heart Skill. His Sun Concealing Sword is a Divine Weapon.
Su Yu cultivates the Purple Essence Qi Refining Skill, which is a Profound Sect Qi Refining Heart Skill. It is suitable for Divine and Immortal Soldiers; both Flying Swords can be used, but choosing between them caused some indecision.
The Fire Flood Dragon Sword’s basic attributes are better than Blue Sparrow, but its additional properties are rubbish.
The additional fire damage is fixed, unaffected by Heart Skill and Swordsmanship realm bonuses.
Unlike the Sun Concealing Sword’s brilliance transformation, which adds 100% damage bonus to Flying Sword damage, benefiting from Sword Formulas and Swordsmanship realm enhancement, hence extremely powerful burst.
The additional Jiao Transformation spell is also quite useless, transforming the Flying Sword to a Fire Flood Dragon for independent attack—what is that good for?
Indeed, Jiao Transformation becomes powerful, but during transformation a Flying Sword is lacking, significantly reducing total output.
And for Blue Sparrow, which is even worse, with attributes less than the Fire Flood Dragon Sword and only two passive properties, and not very high at that.
Normally, a sixth-level Flying Sword with such properties comes with +3, while his are +2, akin to second-grade cripples.
Yet despite being crippled with poor attributes, comparatively, it still suits the Sun Concealing Sword more than the Fire Flood Dragon.
After all, the Flying Sword’s tier is set; sixth-level Flying Swords inherently have a 50% Sword Formulas enhancement, so output shouldn’t be too low when augmented.
Having made a decision, 5000 guild contribution points disappeared, exchanged for the Blue Sparrow.
Back at his residence, he immediately replaced the Cold Soul with Blue Sparrow, pointing a finger as two sword lights emerged, spinning together back and forth, manipulated finely within the hall.
With a thought, one of the sword lights split off, flexibly turning and intersecting with the Sun Concealing Sword which had circled around.
"Hmm?"
"This Agility property is quite nice!"
