Global Cultivation: First-time Top-up for the Ultimate Destiny Treasure

Chapter 54: The Search for the Essence of Water. Being Robbed by Cultivators

Once again in a daze, Su Yi had already returned to reality.

The illusion just now was like a flash, but in his heart, it was extremely clear. This was because in his hand was a shining key.

The elder had mentioned that the mystic realm was at its limit. As for what that meant, he naturally had no clue. He could not be blamed for this. After all, he had only just begun the first trial. Perhaps the so-called ‘mystic realm was at its limit’ would only appear during the final trial.

He tightened his grip on the key and stored it into the seal space.

He had forgotten about the outer realm heavenly devil and the shattered realm. He was still too far away.

“It’s time to go out. I don’t want them to get impatient.”

Looking at the dark mud above his head, he stepped on the moss-covered gravel.

Immediately, his true essence exploded.

Bang–

With a muffled sound, Su Yi jumped up vertically with the help of the powerful impact. At the same time, his true essence started to spread throughout his body, forming a film-like layer.

It was used to prevent the mud from invading his body, so he jumped directly toward the surface of the mud lake.

As soon as he broke through the thin film of water, he felt the disgusting mud again, and at the same time, he sensed some movement around him. It was the vines that wanted to tie him up again.

However, Su Yi did not have much time to play with them right now. He still had to rush to collect the essence of water.

Then, he moved his feet, and his body once again shot through the mud at a high speed.

Boom!

With a sound like fireworks, Su Yi’s body, which was covered with true essence jumped onto the surface of the mud lake.

At a glance, he found that the two girls were having a great time playing with the vines. True essence attacks were launched from their hands. The attacks hit the vines on the surface of the lake and turned them into mush.

Seeing this scene, the corner of Su Yi’s mouth twitched, because he saw two attacks shooting toward him.

“Don’t mess around, it’s me.”

After the two sword fingers neutralized those attacks, he dispelled the mud that was attacked to the true essence layer. This revealed his strong muscles.

Then, he took three steps and teleported back to the shore.

When the two women saw that it was Su Yi, they simultaneously turned their faces to the side, as if they felt somewhat guilty about the attack just now.

“Cough, fellow Daoist Su, so it’s you. I was attacking without thinking just now, so…” Li Mengxi explained somewhat awkwardly.

He waved his hand to show that he did not care. An attack of that level was only aimed at the vines, and to cultivators, it was nothing more than scratching an itch.

He flipped his hand and took out two shining essence of water and handed them to the two women.

“These trial items can sense each other. We’ll split up to find them. Don’t delay the progress of the trial.”

His tone was somewhat serious. Then, he told the two women his rough guess.

That was that there was a certain quota for those who passed the trial, so they had to speed up the collection.

The two women felt that what he said made sense, so Nie Ling immediately stretched out her hand to receive the essence of water.

Li Mengxi was a little hesitant, but she also stretched out her hand to receive it. With the first one, the rest would be easier to find.

Su Yi nodded, he told the two women how to meet up later. Then, he rushed in one direction. Holding the essence of water in his hand, allowing it to guide him.

The two women also flew in two different directions.

…

In the dense forest of the water swamp, a figure was flying through it.

As the figure was flying, he would occasionally look at the object in his hand that was emitting a faint light.

This figure was Su Yi. Not long after he passed through the dense forest, he encountered the feeling of the essence of water.

“It should be nearby,” He muttered to himself and scanned his surroundings. Indeed, he had found a quagmire not far away, which was surrounded by strange trees.

The corners of his mouth curled up into an evil smile. In the past half a day, he had seen this kind of scene a few times. At the same time, he had also discovered a pattern. The essence of water would only appear in quagmires.

His body moved, and the true essence under his feet exploded, and he quickly dealt with the monsters in the swamp.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A few cold light sword fingers directly sank into the strange trees, and without giving the withered tree demons any time to react, they were killed.

Soon, the swamp started to move. After a wave of bubbles, a treasure chest slowly rose up from the center of the swamp.

Su Yi stepped forward and opened the treasure chest in a practiced manner.

[Hint: You have obtained spirit stones x 100, essence of water]

[Hint: Progress of the first trial, Essence of water 4/10]

“Whew—— , another one.”

After storing the sparkling essence of water into the seal space, Su Yi let out a long sigh.

He raised his head to look at the blue sky and sighed.

“This thing is really hard to find.”

Three days had passed, and he had only managed to collect four. This was something he could only find with the essence of water.

Thinking about those cultivators who did not have the essence of water, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. This was really a fortuitous encounter.

With this thought, he suddenly thought of the two women. There was some worry in his expression as he said, “I wonder how things are on their side.”

He did not pay too much attention to Li Mengxi. However, for Nie Ling’s side, he would help as much as he could.

Just as he was about to leave, a few movements came from the forest behind him.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh–

A few figures landed opposite Su Yi. An extremely powerful aura rippled from their bodies as if they were a team.

The person in the lead let out a sinister laugh, and then said something that was extremely out of place.

“Hehehehe, brother, I’m the one who cleared this path, I killed these tree demons…”

They did not see Su Yi kill the tree demons, and Su Yi did not look very famous. However, those who could enter this secret realm, who was not a genius? Everyone was powerful.

After they said those words, Su Yi knew the purpose of this group of people. However, these people felt that they were a little funny.

His eyes were filled with vigilance as he said in a grave tone, “guys, don’t you think that this opening line is really over-used?”

“…”

The leader was stunned. They had robbed so many people, and they had specifically targeted those who acted alone. This was the first time they had seen such an arrogant person.

Could it be one of those big shots? No, which big shot was not famous? He did not recognize Su Yi.

The leader took a step forward, and his true essence exploded toward Su Yi.

“Kid, cut the crap. Hand over the essence of water!”

A bright pearl appeared in the leader’s hand. It was emitting a faint light, and the direction of the light was where Su Yi was.

….
