"Dang!"
The melodious sound of a bell rang out, and Su Yu’s consciousness, which was wandering beyond the heavens, instantly returned to himself. He suddenly realized that he had somehow left the floating island and appeared in an ancient hall.
On both sides, white jade formed pillars. The hall was shrouded in mist, obscuring the depths, but his powerful perception faintly sensed something within. Just as he was about to use his mana to see clearly, a sonorous voice sounded by his ear:
"Silence!"
The resounding voice completely awakened Su Yu. Turning around, he was startled to find a row of figures standing on either side behind him, all elders, with long and unfathomable auras. Among them was Master Xuanwei, his ancestor.
"Good heavens, so many powerful figures, when did they arrive?"
And the Immortal Sect Leader, too, had somehow changed into elaborate robes and a crown, holding a moon-white duster, and in a deep voice, he announced:
"Disciple Su Yu, with outstanding cultivation and profound accumulation, has successfully established a super-grade immortal foundation."
"Upon verification, disciple Su Yu is virtuous and benevolent, with meritorious achievements, in accordance with ancestral law. We hereby report to the founder and elevate him to our sect’s Daozi as per sect regulations!"
"Kneel!"
Su Yu immediately knelt down.
"Pay homage to the founder!"
The Sect Leader waved his duster, and the mist in front suddenly dispersed, revealing a statue of a middle-aged Daoist holding a scroll.
No explanation was needed; this must be the founder of the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect. Without hesitation, Su Yu bowed down, following the etiquette of one bow and three kowtows.
"Bow again!"
He bowed again with three kowtows.
In succession, three bows and nine kowtows.
"The ceremony is complete!"
The Immortal Sect Leader nodded slightly, waving the duster again. A brilliant light flew out from his body, entering the scroll held by the founder statue, which unfurled without Su Yu knowing when.
At that moment, he sensed a connection forming between himself and the scroll.
No explanation was needed; he instinctively understood that a thread of his soul had imprinted onto this supreme treasure.
Protected by the supreme treasure, he could choose to resurrect in the Ancestral Hall after death.
And with a very high priority, even immortals could not capture his soul.
This meant that in the future, if he encountered danger outside, the worst-case scenario would just be dying once, with no chance of being trapped and completely slain.
At this point, the voice of the Immortal Sect Leader sounded again:
"Disciple Su Yu, bestowed the title of Daozi of our sect, under the title of Shao Zhen, is now the foremost disciple of our sect, with the authority to inspect and assess other disciples. Awarded 10 great merits of the sect, 1 immortal achievement, granted an immortal island in the Profound Truth Cave Heaven, and equipped with Daozi regalia."
"You may enter the Ancestral Hall treasury and wield one supreme treasure of our sect’s legacy."
The Profound Truth Immortal Venerable waved his duster, and Su Yu’s figure wavered like a bubble and vanished, reappearing in a starry sky.
Beneath him was emptiness with nothing to rely on; around him was the vast starry sky, countless shimmering stars twinkling. The voice of the Sect Master came to his ears:
"According to sect regulations, a Daozi must wield one supreme treasure of our sect’s legacy. You may choose one from them."
As his words fell, the brightest nine stars in the sky radiated brilliant light, like meteors, flying towards him, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived before him.
The star glow gradually dimmed, revealing the true forms of the treasures beneath: seven supreme treasures in total, an axe, a flying sword, two large cauldrons, a flag, a mirror, a tower, a flying ship, and a bell, all treasures above the tenth rank of rarity.
Su Yu’s gaze landed on the axe on the far left, starting to examine its attributes one by one.
Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe (tenth rank): Rare treasure of the Immortal Mansion, divine weapon of the Immortal Realm, possessing Heaven-Splitting Power.
Attributes: Physical attack power of 2,000,000 with an 800% mana damage bonus, attack range of 200 kilometers, mana consumption of 200,000. Additional skills: Split Heaven, Annihilation.
Split Heaven: 100% chance to cut through below-seventh rank flying sword treasures, with a certain chance to cut through above-seventh rank flying swords and treasures.
Annihilation: The divine axe can destroy all, annihilating mana and the primordial spirit. Those who die under the axe face doubled death penalties, unable to gain cultivation points and Dao for a month.
"So powerful!"
Just the first divine weapon made Su Yu’s eyes light up, leaving him in awe.
He immediately envisioned, if this thing was used by his Battle True Form, who could withstand a few axe strikes?
If he activated the Law of Heaven and Earth with a tenfold mana damage, how terrifying would it be?
A pure killing divine weapon with explosive attack power.
Su Yu clicked his tongue, shifting his gaze towards the remaining treasures.
Then, there were more and more wondrous tenth-rank supreme treasures, dazzling and making his mouth water.
This one could do, and that one wasn’t bad either, yet the next one seemed more suitable. For a moment, it was hard to decide.
But a decision had to be made despite any difficulty. After considering his current situation, Su Yu finally chose the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe, the first one he laid eyes on.
He is not lacking in defense treasures. Not only is the Cyan Cloud Cover, an eighth-ranked exotic treasure, stronger than regular ninth-ranked defense treasures, but after establishing the super-grade Immortal Foundation based on the Nine Heavens Battle Immortal Body, his vitality and physique have already reached a very high level. Once he activates the Battle True Form, they triple directly.
Coupled with Dragon Transformation, Law of Heaven and Earth, and the Time Sword, his survival ability is definitely not lacking.
In terms of attack and defense, with defense not being an issue, choosing to focus on attack is certainly correct.
But that’s not the main point. The main point is that he truly lacks powerful weapons right now.
