Chapter 116: Innate magical power, sea of clouds
Su Yu had already gained a general understanding of the Cloud Sea Forest's situation; with the World Illusion Eye's enhancement, its secrets were laid bare.
Within the Cloud Sea Forest, there was a great Yao Beast at the early Void Refining Stage.
This surprised Su Yu, as this was the first Void Refining Stage Yao Race member he had encountered in the Southern Domain.
It was known that in the Southern Domain, Void Refining Stage cultivators were now nowhere to be seen.
Although Su Yu didn't know the specific type of Yao Beast this Yao Race member was, he had a good grasp of its abilities.
The Cloud Sea Forest's unique function was thanks to this Void Refining Stage Yao Race member.
The entire forest's mist and illusions were the work of this Void Refining Stage Yao Beast; Su Yu estimated this ability to be its Divine Ability.
No wonder Su Yu had seen some records stating that even Soul Transformation Stage cultivators wouldn't easily enter.
With this Void Refining Stage Yao Beast inside, no one could succeed.
And it even possessed such a special ability.
But none of this mattered to him; this Yao Beast posed no threat to him at all.
If he wished, he could instantly kill this Yao Beast right now.
He was now not far from stepping into the Body Integration Stage.
Su Yu no longer hesitated and stepped into the Cloud Sea Forest.
Just as Su Yu stepped into the Cloud Sea Forest,
the sleeping Yao Beast opened its eyes, and as the mist around it dissipated, its original form was revealed.
The Yao Beast's appearance resembled a Qilin, but it had a horn similar to a unicorn on its head, and its body was covered in cloud-like patterns.
Each breath the Yao Beast exhaled added to the mist of the Cloud Sea Forest.
After Su Yu had walked for a while, these illusions had no effect on him; he actually wanted to try what it was like to enter an illusion.
The distant Yao Beast also noticed Su Yu; it looked at Su Yu, unable to see through him, and refused to believe that the person before him was a Golden Core Stage existence.
His illusions and mist couldn't possibly be ineffective against a Golden Core Stage cultivator; this was his Innate Divine Ability, Cloud Sea Enshrouding.
Even a Peak Void Refining Stage cultivator would have to expend considerable effort to break his illusions.
Yet, his Divine Ability was completely ineffective against the person before him, coupled with an unreadable cultivation level.
He could guess that the newcomer was extraordinary and not someone he could deal with currently.
But he also knew that this person wasn't here to cause trouble; it seemed he was looking for something.
He pondered for a moment.
He decided to get acquainted with this person and see if he was willing.
For him, knowing a powerful Senior was no loss; he knew the Cloud Sea Forest like the back of his hand, so he could just directly give the Human Race member whatever he was searching for.
Consider it building good karma. The Yao Beast transformed into a human form, its appearance identical to the Human Race, without any Yao Race characteristics.
With that, he vanished from his spot.
Su Yu sensed the Void Refining Stage Yao Beast approaching him. Su Yu hadn't intended to hide anything; after all, no one knew his current appearance.
Moreover, his aura could be changed at any time. He was quite curious about what this Void Refining Stage Yao Beast was all about.
He had never encountered such a Yao Beast, nor had he seen any records of it in books.
And Su Yu could also sense that the Yao Beast held no hostility towards him.
Soon, the Yao Beast appeared before Su Yu.
Seeing the Yao Beast transformed into a man, Su Yu didn't say much; he had already seen its true form earlier.
The Void Refining Stage Yao Beast cupped its hands towards Su Yu.
"Senior, may I ask why you have come to my Cloud Sea Forest this time? If there is anything I can help you with, please feel free to command."
Su Yu looked at the Yao Beast before him. "I am just here to look for something."
"Senior, rest assured, whatever you need, as long as it's in this Cloud Sea Forest, I can get it immediately, as this Cloud Sea Forest is already a part of me."
Su Yu did not refuse.
The Yao Beast looked at Su Yu. "Senior, would you do me the honor of having some tea at my place?"
Su Yu nodded.
"Very well, Senior, please follow me."
Upon hearing this, the Yao Beast instantly vanished from Su Yu's sight. Su Yu smiled at the sight.
Just as the Yao Beast appeared back at its original location, Su Yu also followed and arrived at that place.
Seeing this, the Yao Beast thought, "This Senior appears to be at the Golden Core Stage, yet he does such things."
"How could a Golden Core Stage cultivator not run when they see him? Just by standing there, the aura emanating from him could suppress a Golden Core Stage cultivator, making them unable to move. And to keep up with his speed? That's even more impossible."
Su Yu looked at the Yao Beast and found it quite tasteful; the Yao Beast also had a courtyard, though it was somewhat inferior compared to his own.
The Yao Beast saw Su Yu looking at its courtyard.
"How is it, Senior? Is my courtyard acceptable? I put some effort into building it. I selected this design from the memories of those people."
Su Yu nodded.
"Indeed, it's not bad."
Seeing this, the Yao Beast said, "Junior's name is Yun Nan. I still don't know Senior's name."
Su Yu thought for a moment. "Just call me Wang Teng."
Yun Nan invited Su Yu to sit down, then took out some tea sets. These items were mostly learned from the memories of others.
Su Yu picked up the tea brewed by Yun Nan and took a sip. "Good tea."
To be honest, the taste genuinely surprised Su Yu; he had a strong opinion on tea over the years.
This unique flavor brightened his eyes; he hadn't expected such an unexpected gain. When he returned later, he would ask for some tea leaves to take back.
Seeing this, Yun Nan also showed a happy smile on his face.
"This tea is a specialty of my Cloud Sea Forest, the tea leaves from the Cloud Star Tea Tree. Its taste is very unique, and its aroma, if an ordinary person smells it once, no matter what happens, it can calm their mood."
"Senior, if you need some, I can give you some."
Su Yu was not polite; he had wanted some anyway.
Su Yu nodded, "Then many thanks."
Yun Nan waved a hand, and soon a large pile of Cloud Star tea leaves appeared before Su Yu.
Su Yu saw this and packed all the tea leaves. With so much tea, he could enjoy it for quite some time.
Su Yu looked at Yun Nan and pointed to the Cloud Sea Forest. "This is caused by your Divine Ability, isn't it?"
Yun Nan nodded, "That's right, this is caused by my Divine Ability."
"This is our Yun Xian Clan's Innate Mystical Power, Cloud Sea Enshrouding."
"I believe Senior already has a general idea of this Divine Ability's effect."
Su Yu put down the teacup in his hand and nodded.
"Our Yun Xian Clan has also declined; now, I am the only one left in the Southern Domain."
"My clan had very few members left after the ancient war."
"Now, they either went to the Spirit Domain or I don't know where they went; anyway, there shouldn't be any in other regions."
"I also survived in the Southern Domain because I slept for a long time. The key is that I'm too lazy to go out; it's so comfortable staying here."
