Cultivation: But Not a Game

Chapter 469 - 321: Profound Immortal Moon-Eroding Ancestor, Merit Golden Wheel_3

At the same time, he posted a reward both in the sect and in the Profound Clear Immortal City, offering a high bounty for any immortality pills or heavenly materials and earthly treasures that could enhance innate six senses and innate fortune, as well as an unlimited amount of merit fruits.

Time passed, and years slipped by like a shuttle; year after year went by.

Two years later, Su Yu spent 5500 immortal coins to reward for a few top-tier heavenly materials and earthly treasures, raising his innate six senses and merit to above 70 points.

Bone 74, Comprehension 83, Six Senses 71, Fortune 73, reaching the minimum standard for condensing a supreme-grade immortal golden core.

In the fourth year, the realm of swordsmanship, which had been practiced continuously without interruption, finally saw a great improvement.

The first realm of swordsmanship, Sword Qi Thunder Sound, advanced from mastery to peak, with extra +200% on sword control damage and attack speed.

The second realm of swordsmanship, Condensing Sword into Silk, advanced from adeptness to mastery, the sword qi extremely condenses into silk, sword qi sharpness +150%, armor penetration +5.

The third realm of swordsmanship, Sword Light Division, advanced from adeptness to mastery, can split into up to 300 strands of sword qi at any time, the power of divided sword qi has an extra +20% based on the normal foundation.

The fourth realm of swordsmanship, True Sword Intent, advanced from proficient to adeptness, the sword intent is more purified, with stronger penetration.

Additionally, over the years, it’s not just these heavenly materials and earthly treasures that Su Yu has been rewarding for, but also merit fruits.

He has always remembered that the Merit Golden Wheel has not yet taken shape.

In the Cyan Immortal Domain, Buddhist sects are much more numerous than on the human side, and the production of merit fruits is also greater; he has been purchasing them all these years at 10 immortal coins each.

With each batch of merit integrated, the Merit Golden Wheel visibly continues to solidify, gradually becoming tangible.

"The last one."

In the seventh year, after spending 9340 immortal coins in total, he finally acquired enough merit fruits.

On Red Jade Peak, Su Yu sat cross-legged on a bright yellow meditation mat in the center of his dwelling, with a thought, the last merit fruit burst open, and a faint golden mist flew out and merged into the Merit Golden Wheel suspended above his head.

With these hundred thousand merits in place, Su Yu’s accumulated merit reached exactly one hundred million, and the Merit Golden Wheel took complete form.

"Buzz!"

The dazzling light of merit bloomed, forming an invisible force field around Su Yu.

"Notice: Successfully condensed Merit Golden Wheel, Fortune +30, Mind +1, acquired trait: Immune to All Skill, Free of Karma."

Immune to All Skill: No karma or skills from celestial immortals and below will affect oneself.

Free of Karma: Once a year, activate the Merit Golden Wheel to actively remove one karma from oneself.

It doesn’t mean killing doesn’t leave karma, daily actions still will accumulate karma, but it can be removed.

Su Yu immediately closed his eyes, clarifying his mind, the Merit Golden Wheel behind his brain shone brightly, faintly visible were some peculiar phantoms drifting within.

Outsiders couldn’t see clearly, but Su Yu himself understood that these phantoms represented the karma he was currently entangled with.

The number was vast, beyond counting, but the majority could be disregarded as they wouldn’t affect his future tribulation.

In the future, as his strength grew, most minor karma would directly disappear.

There weren’t many karma ties that could significantly affect him, only a dozen or so.

Ranking first was the karma with Taishang’s dragon transformation and the Dragon Race, this karma line was the largest.

The difference between the second and the tenth was insignificant, unordered.

For instance, the karma with Ye Lingfeng as a mentor-disciple.

The karma with Qingchan as a couple.

The karma with Vast Sea’s bestowed Dao companion.

The karma with a certain Celestial Eye People celestial immortal.

The karma formed with Erosion Moon Ancestor.

And some binding karma formed on the human side.

The above are the karma clearly visible, besides these, there are two hidden karma lines, each as massive as Taishang’s dragon transformation and the Dragon Race’s karma, but the other end of the karma line is hidden in the void, making it unclear who it involves.

The largest karma lines cannot be removed, at least the power of one Merit Golden Wheel cannot erase them, only ordinary karma can be eliminated.

Su Yu pondered a bit, and activated the power of the Merit Golden Wheel to erase the karma with the Celestial Eye People celestial immortal whom he had killed a few years ago.

As the Merit Golden Wheel slowly turned, the karma line gradually dissipated until it disappeared, Su Yu felt a burst of clarity in his mind, a sudden understanding.

At this moment he already knew, as the power of merit erased this karma line, the celestial immortal player from the Celestial Eye People who originally had intentions of avenging Su Yu would suddenly feel clear-minded.

They would feel that as a dignified celestial immortal, it was too disgraceful to constantly target a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Moreover, that human never left their abode, making it impossible to keep waiting outside; it would be more worthwhile to do other things with the wasted time.

With such thoughts, they reconciled with themselves and no longer dwelled on the matter, completely letting it go.

When one party no longer dwells on the matter, karma vanishes naturally, a truly wondrous occurrence.

"Now my swordsmanship realm is adequate, my innate attributes are sufficient, my accumulated cultivation points and Taoist practice are enough, I’m only one step away from perfecting the Dao foundation and triggering the tribulation."

Su Yu stroked his chin in contemplation for a bit, suddenly opened the panel and sent a message to his master:

"Master, your disciple wishes to inquire about matters related to crossing tribulation."

Ye Lingfeng promptly replied:

"Are you preparing to cross tribulation?"

"Yes, I have completed my accumulation and can raise my cultivation to perfect Foundation Establishment anytime to trigger the tribulation."

"You truly deserve the title of being from the destined lineage, your cultivation speed is much faster than mine back in the day."

Ye Lingfeng remarked, then said:

"What aspects do you wish to inquire about?"

"Master, I wish to ask about the difficulty of the tribulation if I aim to condense a supreme-grade immortal golden core."

"Additionally, will transforming into a true dragon during the tribulation affect the current tribulation?"

"You intend to condense a supreme-grade golden core?"
